Transcripts
good evening afternoon or night exot for
legal reasons I don't know where you
live so yada yada I did a face reveal
about over a month ago big deal
according to the attention span of the
internet that's basically 10 years old
news at this point no one cares but did
you know that this isn't the first time
my face was shown online yes folks as
attentive and cautious of a person I may
seem I have actually been dos before I
have wanted to tell the story for ages
but I couldn't because first of all the
main one included someone that I used to
be friends with but we haven't talked in
over 2 years so I think I'm in the clear
here second of all I know that making my
face widely known that it was leaked
would only cause more people to find the
leaked thing so I just wanted to be as
lowkey as possible and wait until I
actually revealed my face to do that
anyways from what I remember there have
been two incidents where my face got
leaked the first one came from the grand
year of 2021 when I had just gotten
started on YouTube now I think a lot of
you guys especially older viewers know
about the time where a random hate group
wanted to dox me and just flooded my
comments and DMS with every slur under
the moon you know they were trying to
find my address they were trying to find
my face on Facebook they're trying to
find my name which they found to be
felen
son that's not even my real name yeah
fun times but after that I grew kind of
paranoid that there were like grown ass
people trying to find out about me me
which I think is reasonable I mean they
never really managed to find anything
about me because of their low IQ I don't
think they'd even be able to find a lamp
in a lamp store but yeah after that you
know I got really nervous there were
some viewers that were in my DMs giving
me advice on what to do they were
telling me I had way too many stuff that
was public and if I didn't want my
privacy invaded I should like take some
action and I listened some of them even
sent me my own home address to prove a
point um it did not help at all in fact
it just made me even more paranoid and I
couldn't sleep that night but I
appreciate the sentiment so my first
plan of action was to make sure that
every available photo of me was either
in my friend's private accounts or
completely scrubbed from the internet
and as you know it is impossible to
erase things if they've been posted
before but luckily before this I had
done a great job at making sure my face
was not public at all since all of my
social media accounts were mainly art
focused as I was checking I realized
that I had one friend in particular that
had a bunch of my photos on her account
which was public most that I didn't even
know were posted there now let's call
this friend Aeroplane at this point the
video I posted about the hate group had
not blown up to the magnitude it has
today as so I didn't have enough
attention to have people finding her
account yet thankfully I had a head
start on this whole thing thus I
immediately contacted airoplane now
here's when I had a little [Β __Β ] moment
all right I wanted all photos of my face
removed from her account but I didn't
didn't want to be like a bother you know
there was probably like six I'm guessing
so I just went ahead and looked for the
one that made me feel extra insecure
because they were bad pictures I look
rough I wed in in like a jokey way like
I said oh can you please archive this
please I'm so ugly I'll pay you and keep
in mind this was after I told her that
people were trying to find my face and I
know it wasn't written seriously but she
genuinely seemed like she wasn't going
to delete it until I made a deal to give
her stuff so I gave her the two bags of
anim that my dad got for me that was
tragic now that I'm a university student
and I'm constantly fighting for my life
I think I'd rather have my face leaked
than give someone my food now I don't
want aerplane to come across as bad and
I I just I just don't think I really
have any control over it so after I
thought about it some more I decided to
like [Β __Β ] up and ask her to please
archive the photos that have my face in
them so she could still have those
photos it's just that it won't be public
anymore and my message to her was once
again kind of beating around the bush
you know I told her that she didn't have
to do it if it was too much work and I
felt bad asking she refused and told me
that she loves the pics with me and them
however I'm honestly a very cynical but
kind of funny way to view this is that
she want she likes the photos cuz I make
everyone else in the photo look better
with how Strangely I was built at the
time it was rough it was a rough time
right this hair is a disgrace to
humanity I tried to explain to her that
I like those pictures too I don't but
the problem was that people were trying
to leak my face without my permission
and it made me feel really unsafe and
scared and at this point I was starting
to get like kind of frustrated because
she wasn't really getting my point and
before we get into this any further I I
know she has no legal obligation to
Archive those photos I understand that
she doesn't have to do it like I'm not
holding a gun against her head but I was
her friend okay I was her very
distressed friend so there is
moral thing going on here I know that if
my friend was in that situation I would
be archiving those photos immediately
just to give them an ease of mind so she
says the thing is your face is already
on YouTube and online so what would be
the 100 more photos and I'm like oh okay
I mean my face without the mask you know
like that's what I'm talking about she
says
yeah huh I have an a star in english
comprehension I have fought against
native English speakers in my school to
remain at the top I have analyzed poetry
and stories from Edgar alen Poe I've
journeyed into ancient Greek philosophy
and still this interaction truly trumps
everything that I thought I had known
what do you mean yeah she okay so she
tells me that I face is already online
so there's no harm in her having more
pics of my face I explained to her that
the difference is that those pictures
had a mask on and the ones on her
account didn't have a mask on that's why
I wasn't okay with it and she says
yeah what is she why are you yelling I
don't get it I don't get it so I sent
her this long advice R viewer of mine
sent me so naturally if someone just
sped to spend less than 10 minutes
scrolling through her account they'd
find it all I had to prove to her that
people were trying to find my face to
which she responded
H glic was pondering I was trying to
express how anxiety driven how Panic
inducing this whole ordeal was on me how
people were trying to find info of me
online she proceeds to tell me that
she's trying to find info on me online
why I don't know what point she was
trying to put here okay there was no
point it's a circle she was she went
like unish and sent me photos
of my art accounts these accounts are
linked online yeah those are my art
accounts where I post art because
they're my art and there's no selfies of
me on there I literally talk about my
art account on my first ever video on
YouTube how is this even related at all
they're not even distant cousins she
says Ah but what is the problem of
seeing your face so I explain again it's
a personal privacy thing and she seemed
to get it cuz she said I see but oh she
did not see she was blind I explained
further that people were saying weird of
inappropriate stuff about me and trying
to force me to show my full face and
those weird inappropriate stuff would
just get even more gross if they saw it
I was so desperate to show her like this
is really affecting me that I sent her
this email that someone sent me where
they wanted me to show them my chest uh
that's weird as hell in zone and it's
even wether when you think about how at
the time I was 16 I felt very
uncomfortable so I show her all these
weird inappropriate messages I got and
she says that's kind of
funny to each their own I reply with E
and you know it's serious when I say e
cuz that's the indicator that I'm
disagreeing I'm just uncomfortable with
it since I don't know how old the person
who said that even is yuck and also
there a stranger asking me to F
I think anyone could see how that's
weird even if I wasn't 16 people might
say what do you expect you know you have
an online presence you know you asked
for this to which I say shut up and stop
normalizing gross stuff I did not ask
for it if I asked for it I would ask for
it so at this point I thought she
understood and was willing to go with it
in fact I even offered to draw her as
compensation for the trouble which I did
do and at that point I thought okay
that's subtle but then another the
problem comes at first she said she just
wanted to delete one photo because she
like the others um I repeated again that
I didn't need her to delete them she can
just archive them so she can look back
at the photo anytime she wants it just
won't be accessible to the public on her
account but then she sends me a voice
message and I just want to say this [Β __Β ]
aged worse than Prince Phillip okay like
the thing is I don't think like I
honestly don't think that a stalker
first of all will find my account and if
they do they'll probably not not find
this picture cuz then they'd have to
like go all the way down and like scroll
scroll scroll to like the right to find
it so it's not like like I really doubt
a stalker will somehow manage to find my
account and then find this picture you
know what I mean I Got 5 DMS from people
saying they're going to find me for fun
and I want to say the problem wasn't
that I thought that I was so popular
that people were trying to find me okay
it was that in reality people are just
weird there is definitely going to be
one one person out of millions that's
willing to spend an extra 30 minutes a
day trying to find your info and make
you uncomfortable like exposing people
like that was the reason I went viral in
the first place cuz if I was a stalker
and saw this instant and didn't outright
see any pict of you I probs won't go
through the trouble to search key word
key word if I was a stalker you're not
you're not I do hope that all stalkers
in the world are like you that I think
it' probably be a lot less scary scary
keyword to props props so again I wanted
to hammer in that I felt really unsafe
they found my school already so rip plus
I got an email threatening to find
pictures of my face as blackmail or
something laughing
emojis but how is that blackmail like
the worst that wouldn't happen is people
see your
face she did not
see she did not see I know the world's
not goingon to blow up if you will find
my face no but to me I just don't want
it shown and yeah another main reason is
that I used to be very insecure about my
appearance and this was around the time
where I decided to shift my attention
away from how I looked cuz I also just
didn't want my content to be focused
around that I knew that I used to have
very low self-esteem and I have fought
really really hard to change my
mentality but if at the time random
strangers online kept commenting about
how I looked then it would ruin all the
progress that I made so I explained to
her what blackmail is I I know she meant
it in a rhetorical way but I was simply
so AUST that I turned into Google I
explained again that it was a privacy
issue and I simply was not comfortable
with it being shown on the internet when
I'm not ready especially with the
traction I was getting at the time I
see do you
though do you though so she agreed to
get rid of the photos promised me they
had all been scrubbed and I believed
her what a fool I was yeah you so you
remember how she said no one was going
to bother to go through her account and
scroll all the way just to screenshot my
face and that she really doubted that
would happen you'll never believe what
ended up happening someone went through
her account scrolled all the way and
screenshotted my face how could this
have happened if only some someone could
have predicted this occurring I got a DM
from a viewer about like a year later I
guess that an anonymous Tik Tok account
posted a series of my pictures there and
the pictures were like old none of them
were selfies so I knew it had to have
been a friend from high school that had
these pictures up I honestly didn't
really know what to do during this I
don't handle stress the best okay I'm
more of a fight and flight at the same
time kind of person I couldn't make a
post about it online acknowledging it or
anything anything because that would
just send more people to look at it and
it was such a difficult position to be
in because people were tagging me trying
to let me know um out of sheer good
intent I understand but all I could do
was keep quiet which just led to more
people tagging me thinking I was unaware
I messaged the high school group chat
that I was in showed them this video and
asked them if any of them recognized
these screenshots so at first we thought
someone in our school made the account
but then one of my friends told me that
they recognized the photo from
aeroplanes account I so I did the
longest sigh in my head before I went
and messaged her hey Aeroplane I think
one of your followers screenshot at my
face and posted a bunch of it on Tik Tok
OMG I sent about it in the group chat uh
turns out she wasn't in that group chat
anymore because she had a bad falling
out with our other friends I was already
back in Malaysia at this point so I was
just kind of clueless about that she
said show me and do you know who this
follower is I would like to block them
no idea they made a fake Tik Tok account
what I told her to please check her
stories uh because according to our
friend or like her exer it was from her
account what's in my
stories how did you graduate like if the
screenshots from Tik Tok are from your
Instagram stories I'm not sure whose it
is so I'm just asking everyone and she
tells me that she only recognizes one of
those photos from there and that the
others were probably the fault of our
other friends it was the worst photo by
the way oh my God I look like an old man
who's a master at naong what the [Β __Β ] is
this photo this is not me Meo look like
this I decided that I can't really trust
this girl at her word anymore so I went
and did some investigating of my own and
as it turns
out they were all from her story they
were in the Highlight bro that me check
oh [Β __Β ] you're right they are from my
stories I had no exp what to respond
with I just wrote ye like I was a cowboy
and asked her if she could remove the
story highlights with me and them if she
had refused at this point I honestly
would have just given up but thankfully
she agreed to do that so after refusing
to take down my photos at first when I
asked because she claimed no one would
ever search through her account just to
find them then promising me that she did
scrub them off her account only do have
neglected a [Β __Β ] ton of her story
highlights which I didn't even know was
supposed to led to my face being leaked
and my anxiety going through the roof
all she had to say was this I never look
at my highlights AA sorry about
that not that aane I was too mature at
the time to yell I Told You So at your
face but not anymore I Told You So told
me that she would delete all those posts
immediately and that she would not me
when she's done I checked again and yeah
there was still a [Β __Β ] ton of photos of
me she she did not delete a single one I
realized at that point that she just
truly did not understand the magnitude
of the situation or maybe she just
didn't care because she didn't think it
was a big deal I guess so I sent her a
long message the type that I had to make
sure was grammatically correct cuz it
was such a serious Yap session I just
want you to know that I'm really focused
on privacy especially my face I know it
probably doesn't seem important to you
but it matters a lot to me it's why I
asked you to delete stuff with my face
in them on your in Instagram a while ago
now that it's gotten out to people the
thing I'm most worried about happened of
course I don't blame you since you
forgot and it clearly wasn't your
intention but it's just really important
to me so could you just delete or
private them somehow before more people
find it I don't want to waste your time
but as your friend I am being honest and
letting you know that I'm very worried
about my safety and privacy this is
something that I did not want to be made
public she responded in a proper manner
and I did appreciate what she wrote she
said yeah no I completely understand
that file I'll delete them privacy is
very important to you and I respect that
very much so she does get rid of them
and asked me to check it again I found a
couple more that she missed out on she
got rid of those also and I just thanked
her and we've never spoken since
basically now reflecting on this
situation do I blame her no not really I
mean at the end of the day the only
person that you can actually put the
blame on is whoever made that Tik Tok
account to intentionally leak my face in
the first place also fun fact that's
kind of the reason I was never really
active on Tik Tok uh my enemy is that
blue search thing cuz I knew that if I
went viral there people were definitely
going to ask about the mask and then
someone will comment oh this account has
the face reveal and then everyone would
just go there I guess to this day the
one thing I feel I have the right to be
annoyed by is how she kept trying to
tell me that it wouldn't happen she just
refused to believe that I knew what was
going to go on and it did happen it did
it did I just don't understand why it's
so hard for some people to respect or
accept that I just wanted to be faceless
even if you don't think that I have a
good enough enough reason for you that
was my boundary so yeah if uh you
somehow do find airplane don't do
anything I really just wanted to finally
explain the Tik Tok video it's been
years since that happened we've gone
over this um I didn't handle it
perfectly as well I should have been
more straight forward should have put my
foot down more should have checked her
account more and also her mom is still
friends with my mom so that's kind of
awkward uh so that's probably the
lengthiest story I have the other one is
just me being dumb I can't remember
which video it was but uh it was
definitely when I was already in
University so around this year basically
I had a section in my video where I was
washing my face that I Mosaic blurred
and my blur just kind of went we for
half a
second I never noticed it and also why
is it always at such a bad time like why
can't I accidentally dox my own face
when I look hot why does it have to be
when I'm washing my face or contorting
my expression in a way that is very
weird thankfully at this point though um
I was not as relevant online as I was in
201 21 to 2022 so it barely caught wind
thank God so that's it that's the whole
story I hope that you're entertained
sorry for the lack of videos it was
assignment weeks and I got sick but
don't worry there's going to be like a
lot coming soon because I'm going to be
traveling overseas with my family to
Japan yes this was 12-year-old me's
biggest dream so lots of Vlogs coming
soon thank you all for watching and I
will see you all in the next one bye
