I just checked the subreddit and the guy in this story was apparently drunk when it happened. Garnt replied to the post and it turned out pretty well. Everyone was pretty mature about it and I'm just happy that something like that is possible through the internet lol
Thanks so much for the comment!! The story made me really uncomfortable untill I saw what you wrote and did some research into it. Turned out really wholesome.
The parasocial relationships people have with celebs/influencers makes them forget they're not actually close with these celebs. It reminds me of that time when these 2 teenage girls were roasting Tom Holland, thinking it's just a playful banter (and because they always see Tom holland friends and co-stars roasting him), But those fans don't realize it just looks awkward because they're not close with tom holland. It doesn't work, it's just cringey. You don't know them personally, and they don't know you.
Parasocial relationships can be alright as long as you remember that they are PARASOCIAL. If u start thinking its interpersonal it starts getting unhealthy.
I have committed a similar war crime not long ago. After some time, when I finally realised the shit I have done, man, I can tell you that it is the cringiest thing in my life.
Well is good to Know. Don’t feel too bad about it we’all have moments that in retrospect don’t look very Well Just don’t repeat it and it should be fine, sorry if this Ended up sounding like a lecture have a very nice day.
I definitely think the situation didn’t seem that dire to them since there guys. But y’all look out for the girls like Conner did for emirichu because those situations can turn really dangerous. Honestly for both guys and girls be careful y’all.
I wonder if that guy saw this. Be cautious though, when people like that get called out sometimes things get messier. Update: "maerd: they resolved it on twitter through a person they mutually met, turns out he was drunk asf. he regretted on the train back home though."
I remember seeing joey and aki shopping once and didn’t approach, not cause i was shy, but just genuinely don’t know what to say to “public figures”. I don’t know what i could say to them in person that I can’t just post here. Also definitely not a hugger. Kudos to people that are happy to approach but after pervy nabeshin; never again.
Check the subreddit!! The friend of THE GUY gigguk is talking about posted a screenshot of the conversation of the actual GUY! Gigguk also commented on that actual post. It turns out the guy was pretty drunk at that time and pretty much regret what he did in his train ride back home.
About that guy who took a picture from like 5 stories up, I can totally picture myself doing something like that. But not the guy who took a picture from a few feet away.
@@einfachnurleo7099 I don't think you can judge whether the action is ok or not if you're not the person whose picture is taken of. Regardless of intentions, someone shouldn't take a picture of another without their knowledge and consent. And it's a whole other ballpark when that picture is posted or shown for others to see. It's a total invasion of privacy and it can make that person feel scared or uncomfortable. Whether that person is ok with it once they find out, they shouldn't have done it in the first place. There's time to think things through when someone whips out their phone to take a picture but if they can't even do that, they should at least realize that what they did was wrong once the excitement dies down and delete all traces of the picture's existence. These are real humans we're talking about, not sightings of the legendary Yeti.
@@WanderTheNomad I agree. In this context, definitely not problematic imho. It's honest "Woah I gotta show my friends who I saw today!" In the following, it's being a creep. You can tell from how they talk about it as well. There's definitely a social context difference between the two scenarios. If you're close enough to ask, fucking ask. If not, oh well, and you're not even bothering them.
I mean, I don't think the guy or guys like that mean any harm but guys.. put yourself in their shoes. How would you feel.. Try not to be that guy man, just don't be that guy.
idk about that i've heard some racist things in there specially old gen, thank god new gen is somewhat open, they gon blast me with insults if i step in Japan
You guys are right at the edge of online popularity where you're kinda turning into semi-celebrities but you've still got the "general public" mind set
I’m scared to ever meet one of them or any of my idols because I’m half deaf and I’m scared I’m not gonna hear them and make them repeat things like 6 time ( T_T) (I do to my friends all the time)
This feels like the opening scene of a horror anime. I know it didn't end badly, but y'all, please respect people's boundaries even when they're someone you look up to and follow. Be nice. Say hi, get a selfie, and be happy with that instead of appearing wherever they go like a yandere.
I've recently gotten into a position where I get to meet a lot of people I admire and this little trick has almost always worked. Go up to them and say: "Hi, my name is [blank] and I'm a fan of yours. Is it okay if I talk to you a bit?" If they say yes, cool. If not, ask this: "Would there be any better time for you talk?" If yes, follow up on it. If they say no, they're not comfortable with fan interaction, so leave them alone. That being said, most "celebs" are fairly used to being in the spotlight and understand that fan interactions are part of the job, so if you're just straight with them and tell them you want to take this chance to have a convo with them, they're cool with it way more often than not.
I have admittedly been cringe at cons before. I remember I saw two girls in really cool cosplays at AX once and asked to take a picture. Fate decided that my phone would die RIGHT before I could, so I explained it, we had a small chat and complimented each other's costumes, and I said I'd try to find them again once my phone was charged. Lo and behold, I DID find them, and got the picture. I then asked if I could like, join them or hang out or something, and was declined. Luckily, I was smart enough to just leave it at that and wish them a good rest of the convention, but I still get embarrassed and cringe at myself when I remember it.
It sounds like he had friends at the karaoke place and was called to say - "that guy you are a massive fan of is here" x I appreciate the desire to thank you guys in person and hope to think the guy in question realises he went well over a boundary in his excitement. I'd like to think when he next sees you he says sorry and am sure he didn't actually mean for things to be like that x I wonder if his friend actually set up for him to go into the room without realising it may be a bit awkward xxx Regardless, respect to you all xxx
4 years . No friends , no social. Work work work Save save save. Like dont completely leave the world But work and save money Learn how to spend money to make more . 4 years will go by fast and then you will have money to have a cool life. If you are below 18 this is even more true If you are older then you know how fast time goes so it wont be a problem , You choose what you sacrifice. Btw im in my first 6 months of living like that.
@@yuriusutr7284 dear lord if only i was The good i could do I do have plans to take over my country if that means anything But now im just a lonely boxer working to get rich and famous.
One time at a convention a photographer took a photo of me from afar without me knowing and few days later my friend told me about it and showed me a photo that was posted on Facebook. I texted the photographer and asked to take down this photo and told her to next time Ask for premision. She was like "but if I asked the photo would look fake and awkward" so instead she decided to be creepy. Seriously people ask for premision I almost had a panic attack when I saw the photo.
My friend and I go to conventions all the time and sometimes we meet up with other friends but normally it's just us two. We like making new friends but people like to latch on to us for some reason and we can't shake them off. One time both of us cosplayed Rin and Len from Vocaloid and this one girl loved my friend's Len cosplay so much she would not let go of her. We walked around the con for 20 minutes while she was had both her arms wrapped around my friend. It was cute at first since she seems like she was a young teen but I could see my friend getting tired of it so I had to make an excuse for us to leave. Somebody needs to teach these people how to soicalzile. Like I get it, we can be awkward too but we never overstep boundaries.
I feel like that would just incentivize more people in the future to start stalking them in hopes of getting on the podcast. You'd be inviting a tidal wave.
Idk, I would probably want to say hi, but I definitely fall into the camp of "I don't want to disturb their personal time/space" camp. It would be different if it were at a con, or a fan meet up, etc. But most of the time I think it's better to respect that people who work in an entertainment industry related job should be able to "clock out" just like anyone else. I know there are definitely times where people wouldn't mind a fan stopping them to say hi. But I think it probably feels lot like it does for women when they get hit on by a random guy, or getting cat called, it's kind of rude to assume that that kind of attention is automatically welcomed. If it were me, I think that content creators often already share so much of themselves and their personal lives with everyone, it probably is nice to be able to have time that isn't for someone else. If I haven't been offered someone else's time or attention, I just don't think it's right to feel entitled to it.
If I was able to meet any of them in my home state. I probably wouldn’t invite myself but I would recommend areas so they could have as much fun as possible.
If I saw them out in Public, I would be way to scared to say anything but casually taking a Paparazzi picture of them without them knowing I would never do I find that Creepy asf, Anyways
@@catsouplover7745 i feel like if that was the case, the guy would have immediately gone to or said something to the one who invited him. The fact he opens with "can I join you guys" is really telling
@@misatai5457 the thing is we have only heard parts of the story told by one person of the group in a comedic manner... Maybe we shouldn't hang him right away.
Oo Joey said something very true. A lot don't approach, because they don't want to bother you. Honestly, if I'd see a youtuber, singer or whatever, I'd also just keep my distance.
It’s not bad to admire someone or want to be involved with a group, it’s when u start being really creepy, follow them around. One thing is to be open minded and another is to be easy
So I’m just going to be a big sister here to all young anime fans in their teens and tweens who plans on visiting their first anime con. I hope this will serve as a helpful advice for the lot of you. Anime cons (well pre-Covid and now even with Covid restrictions being lifted) can be overwhelming. It’s fun and exciting as you get to meet your favourite cosplayers or youtubers etc, but this exposes you to a lot of dangers as well. The last time I went to an anime con in my country before Covid, the convention was filled to the brim. There were far too many people in one space alone which resulted to me getting separated from my friend that day whilst walking through the crowd. If you’re planning on cosplaying your favourite character that has a revealing outfit, ensure that you’re with a buddy that you know and is comfortable with at all times. Avoid crowded places as this will expose you to molestation and the suspect can go unnoticed in the crowd. Avoid secluded places as well when you’re alone as this will expose you to potential stalkers and creeps. Now with anime becoming very popular across all ages and around the world, it means that there’s an increase in predators as well. So my other advice is that, if you’re planning on going to an anime convention with an online friend, ensure that you have someone you know to accompany you as well. You’ll never know if that online friend of yours would turn out to be a stalker or a serial killer in hiding. This is my advice for all of you because I never got the same advice during my first time visiting an anime con. Nothing scary or terrifying happened, however, I found it overwhelming as there were just too many people crowding the convention, it made me worry for my safety every now and then. But that’s not to say that it is not fun. If you’re with the right people, there’s nothing to be afraid about ^^ So if you’re planning to go to an anime con soon, I wish you all the fun but remember to take heed to my advice, okay?
What Gigguk had to say to this "Stalker's" friend: "Please tell your friend there is no bad blood, I wasn't actually planning to bring him up but the boys just happened to be talking about weird places we've been recognised the day AFTER it happened haha. I'm sure he didn't think it through and I'm sure we would've run into each other again at some point, would've said exactly the same to him in private, but at least we got a funny story out of it. Thanks for being a good sport about it haha."
The "stalker" was just happy to be acknowledged. He was happy that "senpai noticed [him]." He apologized for his behavior (he was drunk at the time) and was relieved that Garnt had forgiven him.
"""Stalker's""" friend explaining the incident: "He short story is he was out with a girl, drinking, when he saw Gigguk at the bar. Of course he had to meet one of his favorite youtubers, so that was why he approached them at first. Then as they were leaving, he found out they were going to a karaoke he frequents and despite the girl telling him it was a bad idea, his drunken mind went through with it. On the train ride home, filled with regret, he talked to me about it. I've been waiting for it to appear in an episode since."
I think the thing with people taking photos from afar is them TRYING to not be creepy/rude by interacting with you in public. Like, I know it doesn't come off that way but that's because they aren't minor celebrities so it's hard to put themselves in your position. Plus a lot of internet personalities are assholes IRL so the thought of that happening to them by one of their favourite people probably puts them off from approaching y'all lol
The 5 stories one up made more sense to me. Because maybe the person was like omgsh its them!! But then thought it would be weird if they literally ran up those 5 stories just to chase them down, and the opportunity couldn't be missed so they just took a photo of them from far away to at least get some memory from it. Still creepy, but kinda understandable.
@@xpriest2920 No I just live in a area where most youtubers live.. and I was born in that area too, I'm sorry for being born, I'll make a time travel and make my parents abort me
Ya know! I never get the appeal of Yanderes. Like, I get the passionate love of one person but why kill to get what you want? What are you, a psychopath?!
I feel like this happens because people tend to watch your content online and get a false sense of friendship. Since they watch your content, they pretty much get to superficially know you.
