once again, danny gonzalez has pinned a lucky commenter. you are the chosen few, use your power wisely

good one

Goddamit I lost the race to get the pinned comment

yo you got pinned

Banger

I literally had to pause like…..shit man. At 16 I was breaking down in the school bathroom bc I got a bad grade. I couldn’t have handled that comment then (or even now at 22 for that matter). But it’s like, the fact that she was so stoic about it is so heartbreaking ugh

Dude,i got shivers there,and my eyes are teary just imagining how i wouldve felt if i were her

Fr when I was a teen I was dealing with early symptoms of depression I cant imagine hatred coming from strangers, when I didn't even like myself

Yeah I remember when that KZfaq channel predicted her death back in march and that channel had actually predicted some ppls deaths before and was right so ppl were certain Charli was gonna die on that date. And I checked the comments and ppl were so happy that she was gonna die? And when she didn't they were disappointed

This is what so many people in these comments don't seem to get. Like, yeah charli isn't a destitute starving child in some warzone, but daily death threats and hate and parental pressure are part of HER reality and it's hard for HER. It would be fucking hard for me too if any of that happened to me now as a full adult.

Hit the nail on the head! I actually feel bad for them. Paying the mortgage on a 14 million dollar house as a teenager? What happens when the money dries up?

@@amandafaries5474 I’m not saying it will happen, but a lot of the time with child hood celebs, drugs and crippling debt

The parents are so greedy to put their children through this. Wtf would they buy such expensive house and why would they hire such demanding managers? And the fact that they inserted themselves into these reality shows? Let your daughters live their lives a little. Its not healthy, the parents are not being parents

Yeah, that parents seem so willing to hedge their lives on their child's success is mindboggling.

@@amandafaries5474 Blows my mind how so many people who run into money don't do what it takes to ensure that money grows in the future. Even in my dumb 25 year old head, the second I ran into money I immediately started thinking how to ensure the money can be multiplied and maybe one day take care of my future children. Nobody knows how long the money will last, so why not take the steps to make it generational if you can?

fr fr

It's also the idea of if your kid has the chance to do something they "like at the start" that makes them enough money they won't ever have to worry and possible a career they enjoy. A lot of parents would think if I was my kid I'd want my parent to push me to do this cause it's the best "chance" in life for them to make it. Not saying it's okay for parents to do such things, but it's more understandable when you think about it.

I don't care if my child makes millions I will not put them in the position of breadwinner responsible for our financial situation. I don't care if they're 40, make three times my pay, and live in a mansion, when they see me I'm going to slip $10 into their pocket and packing them leftovers because in my heart they'll always be my baby.

Yeah seriously. I've never watched anything that any of them have ever been on or made but I get the sense from headlines and commentary like this that the parents are completely sucked in to the girls' fame and haven't stopped to think about the fact that their kids are kids. They're not full grown adults with autonomy and complete critical thinking skills. The girls deserve a say and to make choices on their own but at the same time, they can't possible see how bad this in full. I don't think the parents evil but definitely neglectful

They aren’t reliant on their teenager……

@@Mary-fo2uv ohh true😦

Also some fairly relevant perspective. Drew probably dealt with a lot of this (one a much smaller scale) being propelled to Vine fame at, what... 20? 21? Dude sounds like he is empathizing from very real experience.

nevertheless still true

are you new here lol

cough cough, the lily sign and jaystation video

It’s still true though.

Exactly my feeling and I also think that maybe if they had left it alone and left Charli and Dixie to continue making tiktoks with dances and things without the pressure of a music career, books, brand deals and Hulu tv shows (????) then maybe the girls (because they are children) wouldn’t face such pressure. Obviously there would be some pressure with such a large audience and some may argue that they want to do these things but seeing how stressed and emotionally tired they are sort of suggests this isn’t the case and they’re being told they want to do these things by management bought for them by their parents. I don’t know if this tv show was the best idea given the bad light it’s put their parents under.

there are actually scenes in the last couple episodes where heidi calls the guy who plans charli's calendar to clear up a week so that she can have a break, so that charli can improve on her mental health. so yes, her parents do have an impact however her parents do still care about her and stuff

@@jazzh8211 one week, after planning a whole year jam packed with stuff that is overwhelming her and honestly we don’t know she even wants. Sure a break is good, but going a week without anything then diving back to an overpacked schedule won’t help. She needs to remove some of that weight, not just take the entire weight off for a week only to pack it all back on after that. Granted I don’t know these people, none of us do but I wonder if they’ve ever really sat down with their daughters and asked if they want to do all of this, what exactly they want and to reassure there is not pressure for them to continue this just to pay the bills because that should NEVER be the child’s responsibility.

Money can turn any angel to the most disobedient demon. EXTREMELY few parents would be like: "We don't need that money, all we need is you". Especially not in a country like the US.

That happens as often than you think, heck when 80s pop star Tiffany’s career took off she talked about how her stepfather gleefully quit his job because she was the breadwinner in the family

I loved the way you wrote it.

their isn’t much they can do the called off meetings dixie is grown they don’t have control over her and charli is 17 and they can’t help her unless charli can communicate what she needs

Probably the parents aren't prepared for all of this either. I agree and would do the same that you said, but I have some sort of understanding on social media branding because I'm gen z, they don't and even if they hire people to educate them on that to help their daughters, they'll probably gaslight them into keep exploiting their kids.

Nice

Drew actually is very cool.

oh shit my balls are exploding

you worded this so well i feel like cynical content is so popular especially when the target is young girls who still have so much to learn, its so nice to see him analyzing their circumstances instead of just hating

@@Hi-vr3kd i want to empathise with the fact that they are young and stuff but if they were young enough to know what works online and they managed to continue going viral after a few initial lucky hits..they shouldve known the consequences too, i mean theyre not innocent teenagers picked up and put into some maze that hates them, they chose the path of least resistance, they chose becoming ultra rich and they agreed and signed contracts with managers and companies to do xyz things so how can they complain abt it when its entirely their choice? this is where i draw the line, if someone innocent getting 100-300k views suddenly blows up and gets like 10-12 mil views and that video gets hate its understandable that they werent ready for it, but if someone continuesly gets that views and tries to go with it and blows up and then complains about it then lol i dont feel a thing for them.

It’s a lot harder than it looks and some of what happens behind the scenes shouldn’t be allowed

Dont think it's just his "empathy" people are praising. Drew is very intelligent and has a great way of articulating how he relates to the sisters struggles but also relates to the audience as well, and ends up seeming very down to earth. Not easy to do.

@@ejsafara456 bait

Empathy is hard to find on the internet these days when it comes to content about internet celebrities. There’s always a huge divide where they’re either seen as godsend idols or spoiled brats and not much in between. In this landscape where Charli and Dixie are constantly demonised just because people find them annoying, Drew offering an empathetic, objective perspective is rare. It’s easy to make fun of the sisters at their expense, and other commentary channels would take that easy route. Drew is not doing anything revolutionary, but it feels like he is in the current state of internet culture.

@@ejsafara456 bait

For sure. If they wanted to do a reality TV series, they could wait until everyone is an adult and the star of the show has lost popularity. If she's making money now, then that's fine and she can have some of the stress without having it all dumped at once.

@@whyisblue923taken yeah but if they’re more famous it makes more moneyyyy.

their dad gave me a lot of red flags while watching this show...... like a lot.....

Drew likes to dance sometimes?

It makes me wonder if the parents are making money off of the girls at their expense.

Like, the best you can do as a parent in that situation is put that stuff in the child's savings and continue life as normal.

Welcome To Britney Spears life give it couple yrs and they will End up in court trying to get control of the money again and wanting to live there own lives it’s sad but it’s coming

Bet they are. Didn’t the parents move them out to LA after Charlie got famous? LA is a cesspool

agreed, I think the damelios parents are way more involved and trying then other parents but I don’t think they should’ve agreed to move to LA

And if they did, they shouldn't be making that decision. They're children.

Tbf in general people often buy houses that cost more than their income. Not talking about this situation tho

oh shit my balls are exploding

Right. If they had 8MM$ at some point it would've been a much saner choice to buy a 1MM$ house upfront. I don't think this family has enough experience being rich to be getting into debt like that, not to mention the fact that the money isn't coming from a steady source

⁠@@anaisabelribeiro2721good point that the whole family definitely wasn’t ready for that level of wealth, and going the route of living below their collective means would’ve been a lot healthier it’s sad to see kids struggle with parents who really don’t seem to get it and aren’t equipped to parent incredibly famous children

agreed

It's horrible that they bought that huge mansion when they financially depend on kids to pay it off. They definitely bit off more than they could chew.

Exactly. The fact that they could've just let their kids be kids and let them deal with the fame in their own way (Charli could've sought out brand deals/sponsors on her own, or she might not have wanted to do other things at all and is content with making tiktoks), but instead they started immediately capitalizing off of it, knowing their kids would probably heed their advice because they're the parents. At a certain point, what is the line between letting your kids have fun on tiktok and forcing them to do brand deals/make tiktoks in order to support your family financially? It's just such a stupid decision regardless.

@@meixuanler3535 the worst part is that the parents joined tiktok when they saw that their two kids had millions of followers. You can tell that the parents only care about money and retiring early.

Yeah, they’re the adults they should know better. Put the money in trust accounts and IRAs, maybe invest some of it. Also they should probably do a better job of establishing boundaries with, and protecting the girls from, the managers and other show biz parasites.

this is so depressing

thats so stressful for a teenager

dang that’s so true, i never thought about that…

Im a 16 yr old business owner, nowhere near her success but I get that and its extremely stressful

The only reasons jobs depend on the girls is because the parents signed contracts for them. No contracts, no obligations.

Her parents were thinking: Yes kiddo. Keep crying. Give this show more popularity.

honestly, i feel bad for them. like not BAD BAD, but i watched the show and it feels like they were forced to make this show. and if not forced, it seemed like they were forced to really force out their problems as “drama” on the shows, and on the show i can see their actual stress that they have, and in one of the last episodes charli really touches on the hate that she gets, like she’s 17 and gets so much hate for just doing dances. charli really seems like she’s smart and she’s genuine. she doesn’t go around wearing gucci and all this shit, she seems down to earth. i really do, (ik this is stereotypical), but i think it’s the parents fault. when Dixie was having a mental breakdown the parents was more concerned ab the show than her. i think 100% of the cringe stuff and the things that no one likes is the managers and the parents fault, and charli is only 17, she’s 100%. like the haters are so stupid, all of her hate comments are either saying “it’s okay you can take down ur BLM profile picture” which, if she didn’t care ab BLM SHE WOULDVE NEVER MADE IT THAT, she’s only 17, she can support movements, and that she can’t dance and she does tiktok dances, but she’s been doing completive dances since she was 4. like she gets more hate than fucking Zoe Laverne who dated a 13 year old and got preggo by a trump supporter, and the other self obsessed tiktok stars. like it’s really sad.

well theyre conservatives so

It's a clip that shouldn't even exist in the first place, they shouldn't have even recorded it. She was breaking down and they put it on film. That's gross

To them, they've become so detached from their children because of the fame that they basically have a thought process that boils down to "Oh no, the paycheck is having a breakdown."

The parents hired the agents.

The parents get to have their cake (money made from the success of their children) and eat it too (maintain stable relationships)

Exactly what I was thinking. In Dixies case, she is old enough to make her own decisions. But Charlie is still young. It's such a horrible thing to make your child feel pressured to slave work because their parents quit their jobs.

That got me good ☠️

His jaystation video was kinda like this

the dad was (idk if he still is) bringing in a lot of money for their family. before Charli blew up they lived in a big house and Charli went to a good school plus dixie was on her way to college I think. if the parents had any sympathy for their children they would tell them to just stop posting.... they'll be fine without it. Charli has made enough money to support herself for a long time. fame is not worth their mental health

I also feel like charli wants to delete all her accounts but her parents is stoping her.

Taking them out of the situation would probably just create more drama leading to worse anxiety and poorer mental health. the parents deciding to cut them off from the world all of a sudden would probably upset the girls and the fans and their friends and the media and really wouldn’t be productive at all. There really isn’t a solution, especially not one that’s achievable by their parents since you can’t undo fame and they’re probably already under so many contracts. And I don’t think charli or Dixie wants to quit since they have so many benefits and opportunities so if their parents forced them to that would also take a toll on their mental health and probably wouldn’t help it at all. Also in the series they do seem pretty concerned with the amount of work their children are doing and I’m pretty sure charli and Dixie offered to help pay for the house since they say that the parents never really wanted to move to LA in the first place but charli and Dixie figured out the logistics and begged them to until they said yes

It took Charli having a complete breakdown for her dad to cancel meetings/events for a couple of days. I feel awful for her

They're not exploiting them, there's probably a pressure on both girls to rack that money in without having their parents tell them anything. Just the fact that they see their parents happy makes them go through this. Is it good? HELL NO, are they old enough to realize it? HELL NO, does it take away from the parents' responsability?

I don't actually think it's baffling. If Drew didn't point this out, a lot of people wouldn't think so. Conceptual connection is a difficult thing, and I think we should appreciate how pensive he is being.

I'm pretty sure that TikTok kids are less likely to be molested by adults compared to Hollywood

Exactly! I’ve watched my 3 kids navigate social media, and the second they start comparing themselves to others, or hating themselves because of what others say, or even hyping themselves because of how many likes and positive comments they get, I explain how FUCKING STUPID it is to let other people, mostly strangers, dictate how you feel. Then I’m like, hey y’all each find a recipe and go to the store and get the ingredients and let’s put on some music and cook a meal and dance together. Social media is intended to give us good recipes, not self esteem. Cause fuck everybody, you do you. NO “SUPPOSED TO BE LIKE”, at least not til you know what you want to be like.

@@TheRadiostar72 "Social media is intended to give us good recipes" i really like this. social media for kids shouldn't be completely demonized or controlled, but they shouldn't be allowed to get so absorbed in the worst parts of it

@@TheRadiostar72 you sound like a wonderful parent

@@TheRadiostar72 you are truly a wonderful parent. Ty for making this world a better place for people👊

@@TheRadiostar72 Love that xD. Your right. What good recipes have you found online? I'm always looking for more lol.

And it's messed up that any kid should be put in the position where they have to answer the question of what they value more, their mental and emotional health, or their future financial situation, and have their parents shove them towards the money. That's the most heartbreaking part, that it's so obviously not a situation where the kids are following their passion and the adults in their lives are just following their lead and supporting them however they can. The adults are pushing this and the kids are just like "I don't really feel comfortable with this, but you're authority figures in my life who I trust so I guess I'll go along with it".

she should go to a psychiatrist, therapists are variable and most of them suck ass. I bounced from 2 therapists until I finally went to a psychiatrist who was way more expensive but honestly, the best decision i ever made

@@hi2978 agree

@@hi2978 I swear psychiatrist don’t perform therapy, they diagnose and prescribe medication

To touch on the psychologist vs psychiatrist debate- if you have the means, see both regularly. Psychologists in a general sense are there to hear you out and help you work through your issues in practical ways, psychiatrists are there to prescribe medication if/when they deem fit. Both avenues are helpful when working through mental and emotional issues. Similar to how physical therapy and pain medication help people get heal a broken bone.

@@swand1383 nope some counseling centers have psychiatrists

"child labor" they make tiktok dances and got their own show? they aren't being made to work in a salt mine or stitch shoes. her anxiety is clearly caused by being on an online space, not her parents or anyone pressuring her. i saw no evidence of anyone pressuring her to do anything while watching the show. she's 17 years old and people are acting like she doesn't have the mental capacity to choose things for herself lmfao. legally she's a child but i'm sure she has the brainpower to say yes and no to things. child labor is Ryans Toy Reviews because he is literally too young to realize what he's doing. Charli isn't so i don't get why people are acting like she's being forced to make content. everyone has detractors and online haters and that can and will affect someone's mental state. it's awful and shouldn't happen but i struggle to see how this in any way is child labor. child labor infers some sort of physical or mental labor that is taxing on the child. the only mentally taxing thing to Charli is online trolls and that isn't anyones fault. the only physically taxing thing is actually doing the dances. i just honestly don't get the pity party for famous people simply for being famous. fame comes with hate and pressure. it always has

i also don't see how Charli is being exploited. she has a manager, does he just force her to take show deals without asking her? probably not lol. she no doubt has a say in any projects she does and any videos she puts online. and i can't find any online evidence that her family or managers have taken advantage of her by stealing money or charging exorbitant fees. so i really don't see how she's being exploited. i'm sure Charli has more agency in her own career than you all are making it seem

absolutely i feel like if not for the pressure of their parents they wouldn't have continued doing social media or they would've at least took it easy... its clear that the parents want the fame too (maybe even more than dixie and charli) i mean making a whole reality show about the family? feels like they're trying to benefit off of their children's fame🤷‍♀️

@@inyrui I started out disagreeing and ending up somewhat agreeing 😂 But one thing I'd like to say is, you have to see that she didn't ask for this lifestyle at the beginning. But now she has made certain commitments (like to her audience, her future prospects, brand deals and all) which she can't just drop. She's in the situation where she can say no to stuff but that would lead to missing potentially good opportunities. Like what if as Dree said, she's earning for the family now? Isn't she feeling obligated to continue to do so? This is mentally taxing job. Child labour.

@@inyrui drew went over all this in the video. There are people that have literally planned out years of their lives for them. They may feel bad about turning anything down because they’re scared to let their family down or go broke. So now we have kids with zero free time, people always telling them what to do, and a bunch of people hating them for no reason. Of course having all of this happening while being rich is nowhere near the worse situation going on right now. But that doesn’t mean you can’t feel any empathy for them

i think charli is really genuine though. in all of her tiktoks she wears basic teenager girl clothes, where as when the kardashians were 17 they were having blow out sweet sixteen, multiple cars, and was wearing over the top expensive clothes. kim even shadowed Paris Hilton just to be able to live a life like her. charli really does seem genuine, honestly, i feel bad for them. like not BAD BAD, but i watched the show and it feels like they were forced to make this show. and if not forced, it seemed like they were forced to really force out their problems as “drama” on the shows, and on the show i can see their actual stress that they have, and in one of the last episodes charli really touches on the hate that she gets, like she’s 17 and gets so much hate for just doing dances. charli really seems like she’s smart and she’s genuine. she doesn’t go around wearing gucci and all this shit, she seems down to earth. i really do, (ik this is stereotypical), but i think it’s the parents fault. when Dixie was having a mental breakdown the parents was more concerned ab the show than her. i think 100% of the cringe stuff and the things that no one likes is the managers and the parents fault, and charli is only 17, she’s 100%. like the haters are so stupid, all of her hate comments are either saying “it’s okay you can take down ur BLM profile picture” which, if she didn’t care ab BLM SHE WOULDVE NEVER MADE IT THAT, she’s only 17, she can support movements, and that she can’t dance and she does tiktok dances, but she’s been doing completive dances since she was 4. like she gets more hate than fucking Zoe Laverne who dated a 13 year old and got preggo by a trump supporter, and the other self obsessed tiktok stars. like it’s really sad.

@@thatssoari3533 "100% of the cringe is her parents and managers fault" most people think her content itself is cringe. like the dancing itself is really cringy. i don't think her parents or managers make her do those tiktoks

this is a perfect synopsis of the video thank you!

@@hwfq34fajw9foiffawdiufhuaiwfhw Okay and your point is??

@@thatssoari3533 What does society hate? Teenage girls What happens when a teenage girl ends up blowing up on tiktok? She gets targeted hate, plus the other stuff in her life. And she is a good dancer, so much so I think she honestly does tik tok dances for fun. Because it's rather easy compared to competitive dance. I wish her parents cared enough to see the impact it is having on her though. Teenagers should not be famous. It just wrecks your mental health and I'm pretty sure she already needs therapy. Like being 17. Seeing so many people be angry that you're not dead? You dont get out of something like that unscathed.

i agree ebby!!

Our boy Eddy here spitting facts, HOW IS HE NOT VERIFIED ON TWITTER!?

Apey Silverback?

Hi Luigi San

Bebby

And not even just her parents. She said her parents and her entire team. She's not their employer. If she quits everyone can get a new job. It's crazy that she has this mindset and it makes me think someone told her this.

@@jjb5564 someone definitely did.

Omggggg thats heartbreaking🥺🥺

So dramatic. The family has been millionaires way before their daughters discovered tiktok. I personally know a cousin of the family. They are LOADED. Don’t believe what these tiktok teens say in attempts to drum up sympathy for themselves.

@@owenmayer9089 jealousy just makes u lose all sympathy and empathy huh

This is one of the best parts about him and his channels. He'll totally roast douchecanoes, but he can pull out the seriousness and compassion when it's called for. So many commentary channels miss the second part and end up being cruel to people who don't deserve it.

I hope so too but I doubt it

@@veronicawilson7594 and that's part of this whole thing right? Like an adult who has had the time to work their way up would have the financial know-how to put some of it away, invest in retirement funds, say no to parents who want to be financially dependent on you, etc. But these girls were just straight up not given the time to learn all of that and are likely getting severely leeched off of by anyone willing to ask.

@@MrSomnix exactly. this has been the case with so many child stars… adults take their money. it’s so easy to take advantage of children’s’ lack of awareness about things like finances. it breaks my heart

unfortunately there are no laws protecting underage influencers from exploitation. yet.

@@solala1312 yet!! i really hope some are made soon (before even more young people are exploited in this industry)

About the adults playing teens discourse. People also argue that a lot of these shows just misrepresent teens' lives while making the underage characters do some really questionable stuff. If Hollywood wants to see younger people get it on so bad they could just make the characters college age. They just choose not to for some reasons.

@@annanguessan-ble6488 absolutely, I would much rather watch some college show than highschool... But maybe we will get there eventually lol

I don’t think there’s a problem if there’s a healthy balance of both being a kid while being an actor, but that’s almost not heard of anymore.

I agree, but most people say that their *portrayal* of teenage life is wrong So much party, drugs and bs which happens rarely in reality. (side note : I like k drama for this reason. The whole story revolve only about chemistry and bonding of characters. Subtle and beautiful storyline)

idk i don't think there's anything wrong w having teenagers casted in movies or tv shows about teenagers lol,, it'd be kind of weird if none were

We can start by treating the new generation of young women - Charli Dixie Millie and more - better than we treated her

You are right

Too bad that's never gonna happen

@@mikaahoni1097 exactly this. Everyone looks to the past and goes "oh only if we can change what happened, only if we were nicer" when the exact thing is happening AGAIN to other people. What happened to Britney happened, let's learn from that and try to prevent it happening to other stars. I think she'll appreciate that more than an apology

@@xXInfinityDiesXx "we owe sulli a apology." sends jennie kim death threats on her birthday "we shouldn't hate on megan fox just because she is both talented and pretty." Bullies maddison beer and tells her she can't have anxiety because she is hot ect ect ect

Fr that part looks straight up out of a nightmare. Isn't she still in school as well? Imagine all of that on top of school work.

must be hard getting all the works just because u dance-

@@xXInfinityDiesXx I do hope she finishes school and go to college so that way she has a back up plan if something were to ever happen. Sense I know some child stars do drop out of school.

@@shinobusfan7306 well yes, when you are literally one of the most famous people on this earth making 100x as much as any career would likely make you in a few years, it's pretty tempting to drop school and do THE THING that is making you millions of dollars

No its her own fault

i swear i have seen you in the comment section of every video ive watched for the past 2 hours

Literally I would hate life

As a college student that has no idea what to do with my life. not going to lie I kinda just a want someone to tell me what to do.

especially when youre like 15, it's insane

Yeah. Also love ur stuff

Ngl her new song psycho is actually good. I think she improved a lot.

my thoughts exactly!!

No Rebecca literally looks normal

RB voice is average and she doesn't exactly have a singing career after all that

Its a rare path, to have your sanity at the end of. Childhood fame will literally mess up your sense or self, worth, reality, and relationships, at the very least. A lot goes into a show like this on top of those other binders they will have to do.

honestly- i can’t think of anything *more* horrifying and their ages. if my failures during adolescence were broadcast to hundreds of millions of people, it would ruin me mentally for a very *very* long time.

very true and shes just doing it in fromt of thousands of people i feel bad

Plus she probably has a bunch of people on her team kissing up to her and lying to her about how good the songs are cuz they know it'll make money either way, then she goes on the internet to see millions of people hating on what she was (probably) told was an amazing song by the people closest to her. The trust issues I would get...

She would be much better off lead singing for band that has completely ghost written songs tbh. She has a voice and an audience. Why waste time with terrible lyrics lol

Cant they just pay someone else to write a song for her and then have her sing it? I thought that is what a lot of singers do

@Vincent H. uh oh i spot an old guy blaming kids for the pressure put on other kids even tho the problem is the older people telling them how to make other adults money
