I've been watching this family vlog channel since around the beginning (from like one of their first videos)- and all of this law suits, cutting family ties, and alleged assassination attempt was to me extremely surprising. They seemed to be an close knit family that loved each other, and from their videos I couldn't possibly imagine any problems like this to be happening. Their family channel seemed to be quite genuine, and the things the family is alleging seems outrageous to me. As you mentioned, the theory that the girlfriend was the reason for the fall out I think is extremely unlikely. While yes, the videos after the girlfriends appearance didn't feature the little sister anymore, a deleted video explains that it was because she was getting busy with school and her parents and other brother was pressuring her to stop siding with Caleb and the youtube channel. It appears that they already started to fall apart before the girlfriend as their upload schedule has started to slow down. As a viewer, this channel falling apart was shocking and I would have never expected the things that were happening behind the scenes. In the deleted/ archived video, he mentions that his parents talked in place for his younger sister not allowing the two to communicate and told him that the younger sister always felt used and never actually smiled from the bottom of her heart in the videos. To me that was crazy, because I watched every single one of their videos and if that smile and emotions were fake idk what would be real.

In my opinion as a Japanese person, if a family member spreads false rumors on KZfaq such as ``My brother is planning to commit murder,'' it would have an immeasurable negative effect on work and interpersonal relationships. My guess is that his family asked him to delete the video, but he didn't. In principle, a crime of defamation can be committed even if the stated facts are true. However, as an exception, it can be proven that the content is "true" in addition to "relating to facts related to public interest (public nature) and whose purpose is exclusively to promote public interest (public interest)" If possible, the offense should not be punished for defamation (Article 230-2, Paragraph 1 of the Penal Code). Defamation of reputation is not something that is easily recognized.

The only way to ethically do a family vlog imho is to not record every second of your child's personal life for daily uploads. It is to tell stories of your fun events, share the occasional photo or short home video clip on a weekly or monthly basis, while only including your child in the actual vlogging if They say they want to, and respecting when they don't. When it comes to a family vlogging channel, the safety and well-being of the child should Always come first. If you're a parent doing or thinking of starting a family vlog, ask the child or children involved at every step and respect their answers. Things like "Do you mind if I show this picture? Would you be okay saying a few things to the people? It's okay if the answer's no, I just want to make sure. I don't want to hurt or upset you." If you can do that and respect your kids' wishes, then knock yourself out and have fun. But if you can't grasp the concept of basic respect for another human's autonomy, you probably shouldn't even own a camera.

This is my view as a Japanese person. If there are any mistakes or incorrect translations, I apologize. I think it is a case by case basis whether it is defamation or not. The requirements to not be libelous are, (1)pertains to facts of public interest (2)It is recognized that the purpose was solely to serve the public interest. (3)That there was proof of truth. It takes money, time, and effort to sue in court, and even if defamation were applied, it would only be a minor crime or minor damage, so the hurdle for the media and KZfaqrs with large numbers of subscribers to publicize the facts may be low. In addition, because of social credibility and reputation apart from the law, even if you sue for defamation and win, it does not necessarily mean that it will be positive for your future life. In fact, there are many cases where celebrities and activists who were exposed to facts did not sue because they did not think it was worth suing for defamation. On the other hand, in Japan, there are various arguments such as "it is strange to consider that exposing a celebrity's private life is a tax on celebrity.

As for politicians, they are rather typical of those who are easily exposed.

Although some major media outlets are hesitant in some cases to expose some celebrities and executives who have a vested interest in their own business, It is also impossible to keep the information hidden, as it leaks through other media and the Internet.

The defamation aspect is very interesting. Reputation is everything. It's how others are more likely to risk a venture with you, whether it's business, entering a relationship or even just being willing to be friends with you. Damage to said reputation is in a way, actual harm. Actions such as deplatforming, cancel culture and the like are all attacks on your reputation, they are usually cowardly actions taken towards you that don't result in consequences for them. However, if Japan prosecutes those sorts of attacks, then that's a natural defense against such frivolous attacks. People think being respectful is being superficially courteous, especially based on characteristics, but in reality respect is about being humble and open minded. In this case it's sad that this 21 year old man is in a tough position and being punished for the actions of others, however it's too simply to simply say the system is wrong, because no matter how you set things up someone's going to be a victim.

Outside of extreme examples like this, the reason family vlog channels are generally problematic is because they more often than not ignore the value of consent. Small children cannot understand the long-term ramifications of having their face online, especially to an audience of thousands or even millions. Even if you ask your child "Do you want to be in my video?", they aren't of an age to truly consent. I'm sure there are family vlogs out there that either don't feature kids, or do right by their children by censoring their faces, but they are very few and far in between. Probably even more importantly, when you make a family vlog channel, your kids are becoming either a primary or secondary source of your revenue, and that leads to a whole mess of issues. Even the most well-intentioned parent could end up exploiting their child. All in all, there are a lot of gray areas to showing children on KZfaq, and I think there are instances where it can be done ethically and appropriately. However, family vlog channels are breeding grounds for child abuse and exploitation, and they should be avoided. Children also deserve privacy.

Somehow i think family vlog, or anything related to family might backfire in the future. Wouldn't be surprised if in future 10-20 years we will see news such as kids suing their parents for did not get the paid they deserve (or such, you get the idea)

Japan’s defamation laws are bonkers. Also, I’d be careful about ever putting a child on KZfaq. A lot of family vloggers kids ended up on watch list for less than savoury people. They can also use AI and deepfakes to have them do really gross things using benign images and sound files the families put out.

It is common in Asia. Europe has the same in some countries. The idea that one is better and one is inferior just because there are different laws from your country is just like an outdated politician.

I feel like with the family channel thing I wouldn't, I would just let my kids say hi or whatever for as long as they would like to hang out, got a cute pic show it off! But keep your channel separate from your family life so you don't really get burned out by them, cause burn out sucks and I do my best to try to avoid it now lol

The problem with family vlog channels is that the children can't give consent. Even if they do want to be in the videos - it's not really consent since they haven't reached the age of consent and might regret that decision in thr future but have no power to change it.
@AnyuMin7 ай бұрын
For me, the only way it would be okay to make content with kids involved is by always censoring their faces.

I hate "family channels" with a passion, especially as a psychology major ,the damage it does to the kids and lets not get into parents who film their children for predators online-knowingly or unknowingly. A child cannot consent to that and even if they want to be filmed and posted they still shouldnt be listened to because well....they are children. Even a small picture of a child from facebook ends up with predators. online. And we have examples today of the kids who grew up almost all of them hated it and it breaks their relationship with their family because they feel used (they are right)

Family blog channels are the worst KZfaq channel ever. A lot of KZfaq controversy is those KZfaq family bloggers who seem perfect on camera but just scum of the earth in real life. They’ll do anything for their content and to make their channel grow. If you wanna make content on KZfaq don’t make a family channel.

I just had a baby several months ago and refuse to even put a picture of him online, let alone start any type of internet presence. I think it's wise to keep your minor children offline as much as possible. Too many weirdos lurking and family vlogs probably attract some unsavory people who you don't want obsessing about your precious child.

You can choose your friends but not your family 😂. All families fall out at some point. I just don't like family issues being aired in public. If he really thought that his life was at risk, why didn't he go to the police? Anyway, just look at Prince Harry. He's thrown his family under the bus and more. But as our late Queen said 'recollections may vary'
@Spojo19 ай бұрын
The same could be said about the family. Why did they get him arrested instead of resolving it privately. Sounds like a really toxic family which makes me believe him more even if he was part of the problem.

It could be that the idea is that the person receives their punishment for the wrongdoing, and therefore an additional punishment by the wronged party is unecessary and a type of vigilante justice. In cases where there is no proof that anything happened, then it makes sense to me that in those cases also , its not okay to publicly accuse someone of something.
@mae_the_gay8 ай бұрын
I feel like it depends a lot on how much information the family is sharing. Young children who can’t understand what’s happening shouldn’t be filmed since they can’t give permission. The family should also avoid sharing any personal information. I remember awhile back a family vlogger decided to record her daughter ( who was maybe 12? ) shaving her legs for the first time. That kind of thing should be kept private. Families need to take into consideration that their content can be seen by anyone and avoid sharing anything that they wouldn’t feel comfortable sharing with a stranger.

I'm not a person for knowing family channels and have never seen them but I say it's a gray area, I'm trying to learn Japanese but uh it's difficult. I want to live in Japan so bad it's my dream.

I've watched a couple of family vlog channels because there content is wholesome and enjoyable. So I think there's a place for them as long as everyone is down for it. It even extends to other media like The McElroys who have a whole line of family-hosted podcasts. It's possible but only after conversations and intent is made clear. Otherwise, your uncle is gonna hire Hitman Reborn to take you out I guess
