No truer words have ever been spoken! ...Well, you know other than "MewWinx96 is a sick pervert"...
Alright, to start off I should say that the only affiliation with the people involved in this argument is that I am subscribed to some of them. Any and all information I present may not be true and is subject to change as more information comes out. I should also note that I'm not from Japan, nor have I (As of today, June twelfth, twenty-fourteen.) ever been there.
Okay, so I've seen videos all day from J-vloggers commenting on the situation between Rachel (A.K.A. MyHusbandisJapanese or Rachel and Jun) and Mira (A.K.A. Kanadajin3). According to the video by Rachel which started this whole discussion, Mira was creating fake accounts attacking her credibility and claiming she was tricking her subscribers into buying into a scam on the comments of a video Rachel had made where she endorsed this website that allowed you to buy Asian fashion for a low price. Rachel and several of her observant subscribers were able to discover it was Mira making these accounts and attacking her by unique spelling errors often made by Mira and the fact that all the accounts seemed to overly praise Mira. The thing that really seemed to pretty much confirm that this all was true was a video made by Kat (A.K.A. Kat Loves Osaka) where she said that Mira asked for a picture of her holding up a sign that said "I'm not Mira" and used it to disprove that she was the one making the fake accounts.
Now, just to get it out of the way, I do believe that Mira is in the wrong here and she should apologize, but I don't think she should do the big, huge public apology that everyone is calling for. I think that she should apologize to Rachel and Kat personally and if they want to come out and say "Hey, she said she was sorry" that's fine.
The thing I want to focus more on though is the subject of You Tube fights.
You know I'm not talking about those kinds of fights... -.-'
I mean when one You Tuber has a problem with another You Tuber and they bring it all out in the public with a series of videos attacking one another and so on. Granted, in this situation is kind of being handled maturely by those involved thus far. The video Rachel made was very calm and collected and presented the facts in a way that was believable and she did not attack Mira at all in the video. Although, Mira has yet to respond. But, most of the time when these things happen it turns into this whole Fifty Cent vs. Jarule or Tupac vs. Biggie Smalls type rivalry where people just keep going at each other until the situations been milked for all it's worth and everyone loses interest or someone is dead. (The situation where someone dies is less likely, though.)
I know some people make these videos because they want subscribers and because they want to be the victim and have everyone's attention on them, but what about the other people? You know, the ones who really do have a problem with someone and they drag it out into the public. What are they doing it for? I'm not talking about Rachel and Mira specifically, but just all other smaller You Tuber riffs in general. My only theory is that it adds to the drama and gets their subscribers to rally around them and attack the other person, but I do not think that is happening here. Rachel and several other You Tubers have requested that to one go out and attack Mira on You Tube or Facebook. (However, it seems that no one is complying with that request as if you look on her account on You Tube you can see people obviously attacking her on her discussion page.)
The only thing I have left to say is that if you ever get into a fight with someone, keep it in private. Do not take things to a public forum like You Tube. The internet is like an elephant, it never forgets and if you pull shit like this it could damage someone's reputation forever.
I couldn't resist posting a picture of an elephant here! They're so cute from a distance! ^-^
