Why A Korean Streamer Faced Anti-Asian Remarks!

This Korean influencer joins a live stream and the interaction goes sideways. Yeah, we got to talk about this because this has 40,000 comments on the internet, guys. No matter how silly, you know, it seems on the surface level, clearly it is causing some major, major engagement and controversy. Long story short, Gemini Jury is a streamer. She joins these two Latina girls stream from Dallas and everything just goes crazy. Let's run the clip. English, you don't sound fluent. Uh, a little bit. You don't sound a little bit. You don't sound fluent in Spanish. So, so why did you, um, or join us? We don't want to battle you. Me? Yeah, you. Okay, bye. Bye. Annyeong. Get your bunny ears out of here. Jesus Christ. Bye. All right, everybody, if you're ready for us to break down what the comments section say and also our own takeaways, then please hit that like button and check out other episodes of the Hot Pop Boys. Uh, David, uh, in general, I just feel like it got off to a weird start. Yeah, I mean, I think she enters the girl's stream, says hola, como estas. The girls, they're sort of like thrown off by that. That is definitely a weird way to start the interaction, a bit assumptive. It kind of snowballs from there. They're getting catty. They're firing shots back and forth. It's awkward. It's cringe. But then it ends off with the girls in Dallas doing the eye pull. Yeah, and my, I would say both parties are at some fault. I think that the percentages are different. I think that one side is more at fault and ended off the interaction in the worst way that they could or one of the worst ways. However, I mean, you know, jumping into different streams. I think when you meet random people and you have open streams and you're joining streams, I just think you have to assume that some of the interactions are going to go very well. I feel like that world is like that. Yeah, when you when you look at Omegle clips or you look at I mean, I think different platforms have different reputations, but it just seems like I've seen a lot of these in modern day. I don't know. For some reason, they were calling it like a battle. I don't know what type of battle this is, because I think the tone of the battle is a rap battle or a roast battle where you just get at each other. But anyways, guys, moral of the story is don't pull your eyes back on the Internet. It's the wrong move because you will. The Internet will come after you. Let's get into the comments section. Somebody said, I thought the eyes are desired in 2023. So why are people using it to mock people? And why are people being ashamed of their own features? I just don't really understand it. Yeah, this one's really out. The jury's out on this one where it's like, are the eyes attractive or not? Because a lot of models in the fashion world, they try to do the fox eyes, but that's for like a fashion reason. Also, are the fox eyes only good on Western people who don't normally have fox eyes? But if you're naturally born with fox eyes, then it's not cool. I just think the eye thing always reminds people of how America sees us as perpetual foreigners and as aliens. And it's like, no matter what you do, you know, Gemini jury, you could be this pretty girl, Korean, rich, whatever, Twitch streamer or whatever. But you're still got a chinky face. No, it feels like sometimes, and I'm not saying for sure this happened in this interaction, but it feels like when somebody is losing an interaction and it's interracial with the Asian, the final thing can be like, basically like, you're a whack Asian and that ends it. Even if you were beating me the whole time, I can pull this out and it's like, yeah, but at least I'm not a whack Asian. Yeah, just you're Asian and that's just bad. That's how it felt. I'm not saying she meant it fully like that when she did that. I'm just saying that's how it felt. And I think that that's why those girls got flamed. Some people said too much. Some people said the right amount. Anyway, you guys let us know in the comment section. Somebody said racism is usually parenting most of the time and some people sink more into it as they get older, but other people regret it as they get older and grow out of racism. Yeah. Somebody said we should all have to join the military because this person that you hate is going to risk their life for you even more than some of your best high school buddies. So that's what's going to break down racism. I think what this person's alluding to is that a lot of Americans are not united by really any single common goal. And this is what people are saying when they're like, there's no more war in the world. So no war can't unite all the men and women in this country under one goal because we don't have a common enemy. And I don't know. It's like a really complicated question, but I do think that there's just not enough bonding agents here. Yeah. Also, I would say that who's to say that if you didn't put them in a room for a few hours that they wouldn't be able to make up like adults. You know what I mean? But it's just like the way the interactions go on the internet, they end at sort of this low point and then they get extrapolated. Well, I'm not going to lie. Gemini, she's recording the stream. She's looking for interesting interactions. And I guess she got one. For sure. There are a lot of unspoken aspects to this. Somebody said, and this is probably the comment I saw the most, Andrew. They were probably jealous because of how much prettier she was. Her webcam was better. She looks better. Everything about her is better. So these other girls in Dallas were jealous of her. I tell, in my opinion, Andrew, power dynamics, whether spoken or unspoken, always come into play. Whether we're talking about looks, power dynamics, which is huge for women, racial power dynamics, socioeconomic power dynamics, educational dynamics. There are a lot of dynamics that make up a reason pizza. There's a lot of slices. Somebody said, mocking is usually due to internal security, but also maybe some people are just mean-spirited and think it's fun. Yeah, I mean, I would say in different cultures, perhaps teasing about stuff is more acceptable. You know what I mean? Like, why are you- Talk to Andrew. A lot of people don't want to acknowledge this. I used to live in LA, and I feel like Latinos enjoy- I can't say a specific group of Latinos, but they like to joke. And I really don't think it's mean-spirited when they do that. Now, this girl, it had a tinge of mean spirit, but I'm just saying, people do joke around. But since they're not established friends or on a team together, I think it's different. So it was kind of wrong. Somebody says, it was totally the Korean girl's fault for entering their live stream and speaking Spanish to open it up. It really got the whole interaction off on the wrong foot. And of course, it snowballed. Ultimately, the Latina girls were more wrong, but they both were wrong. Yeah, I think this whole stream of comments here is kind of like pointing out how the Korean streamer entered their chat and then kind of started off with a weird phrase. And then she didn't leave. And then like, no, like I said, there is blame to go around. Actually, Andrew, this thing got so big that both parties have already issued reaction videos. The girls in Dallas, the Latina girls, they issued an apology video. But also Gemini Jury, she had to make a video explaining why she opened up in Spanish. So clearly, like I said, silly thing. But somehow we're all in the principal's office and the court of public opinion. We're all privy to all these things playing out. Somebody said they both just want Cloutin to be famous, man. Nowadays, everybody will do everything, even if it's divisive, racially. God, everybody just wants to get clout. I hate 2023. It's true. It's true, man. It's true. And listen, I didn't fully want to make this video, but we're talking about this, not because I just want to get like your clicks, because you're going to click out in like 10 seconds if you don't see Gemini Jury pop up. But basically, I want to talk about this video to have an actual conversation about it and to add value to the convo and not just leave and just like go on one side or the other. Somebody said, man, all this news nowadays, all this playground stuff, why is this even news and going viral, man? This is just dividing us as a country when we need to be coming together. I mean, I definitely think it's both. It's yes and no, because obviously, think about it, Andrew, the news outlets, if they see 40,000 comments on the engagement section, that's newsworthy by the amount of people who want to deem it newsworthy. However, you could also say, why are we posting the most playground, juvenile, middle school tier reactions and then having this divide people emotionally? You know what a lot of people are forgetting is that the internet is global. It's global now. There is no American internet. Right, because a lot of people speak English at a fluent enough level to consume American internet in 2023. The internet does not cut off on America, American borders. You don't just leave the coast of LA and then it just shuts off, no. Somebody said, this is just the movie, Idiocracy, a play, man. These two girls are going to have a bunch of kids get stuck in the middle of nowhere and this Korean streamer girl is rich and going to be a doctor and she's pretty. This is the downfall of America. Somebody said, well, clearly, I don't agree with you, but there's certainly some class warfare here at play. I mean, yeah, I do think there was a lot of power dynamics, like I said to my previous point, that go unspoken because they're too difficult or people cannot articulate them, but they're certainly here at play. Someone blamed it on them being from Texas. Texas is known for basically excusing narrow-mindedness, but the thing is the South Korean internet is absolutely relentless. So basically, these girls did get a lot of online bullying afterwards, especially, I believe her name was Elizabeth. She also has a baby. So she's out trying to live her life, but now she got all this heat on the internet for making a stupid gesture that she should have never made, but it may have been, maybe she didn't deserve every ounce of flame that she got. For sure, let's be honest, guys. The internet is going to overreact, especially defending Gemini Juri for a lot of reasons, probably because of how she looks, she's Korean. You know what I mean? There's so many reasons that go into this, guys. Somebody said, I'm Central and South American myself and I have to admit, we tease and insult and mock people for things that are considered un-PC in America. We call fat guys Gordo, we call fat women Gordas, but if they were able to crack open some whiskey or tequila together, they could become friends if they had enough time together. Yeah, yeah, and here's the thing. They're not friends, so that's why it's wrong, but I do understand. I've seen friend groups that I've seen, even Asian friend groups, namely my Filipino and Vietnamese friends go at each other, girl versus guy, teasing them about all types of stuff that would be considered very PG-13, if not R-related. Right, for certainly, it varies culture to culture. Some people joke about things that would be considered off limits of people of another culture. It's friend group to friend group, but the truth is they are not friends yet, so then therefore, you can't have that in play. All right, guys, I'm sure we could go through all 40,000 internet comments. I do not want to. Let's just get to our final takeaways. Andrew, why is something as silly as this getting 40,000 comments of engagement? Because there is way, way, way, way, way, way bigger stuff happening on the Earth and the planet, even the Asian community, than to focus on this, but this gets all the attention. You know, it's different. If these were different characters in this situation and it happened somewhere else in a different context, like in real life, like not over the internet, then I think the internet's reaction is even different, but since this was on a platform, which I'm actually not sure which platform it is, whether it was TikTok or Omegle, but it was like, it's on a platform that a lot of young people use. So now they feel like, oh my gosh, are these the type of interactions I can expect as an Asian person moving forward? Now, the truth is, if you meet enough random people, yes, you will have interactions like this, 100%, you know what I mean? And so you have to, if you are gonna put yourself out there, you have to have thick skin. That's like us who used to do the videos, like a man on the street interviews. We used to interview random people on the street. Sometimes, some people would turn us down or some people would wild out at us. We had a guy who almost tried to smash our camera one time because he didn't want to be on camera. I just had this guy the other day who was like, said he wanted to fight me because he thought I was filming him. So I'm saying like, we have to just, if we're carrying a camera around and you're meeting random people and you're recording stuff, you have to be thick skin. By the way, that guy who tried to smash our cameras was just in the background. We were not recording. Right, we were recording, yes. Yeah, anyways. But yeah, what I'm saying is people may react, you don't know how people are going to react. Yeah, I would say, long story short, to sum up this micro interaction between Gemini Jury and the girls in Dallas, I would say the girls in Dallas were 60% to 70% at fault. Gemini Jury was 30% at fault. But because the court of public opinion was so heavily weighted on Gemini Jury's side, I would say the other girls took 100% of the L or maybe 95%. Yeah, yeah. So I think there's a lot of dynamics that play into why that is, though. For sure, for sure. Like, who does the internet like more? Who is prettier? Who is more powerful? Obviously, like I said, anytime you make it racial, though, you lose the moral grounds. It's true. The internet is, for the most part, against racism, which I do think, and the silver lining of all this, you know, I don't think that they deserved all the hate that they got, all the backlash. But I don't think she's going to be pulling back her eyes again. Yeah. I do not think she will ever do that again, ever, maybe, to anybody, at least on camera. Anyway, let us know what you think in the comments section below, guys. One, do you think this is newsworthy or just some internet stuff? Let us know what you think of it, and let us know what you think of our analysis. Keep it civil. Until next time, we're the Hot Boy Boys. We out. Peace.
