um
someone translated my slut shaming and why it’s wrong video into chinese and now that video has almost the same amount of views as my own video…
i’m flattered, obviously, but seeing as i’m a youtube partner now and am monetizing the slut shaming video, and even though the translator posted links to my channel and whatnot, it bothers me that my original work has essentially been essentially stolen and cheated out of 409,034 views (so far).
i’m also frustrated that i can’t participate in any of the discussions because of language barriers. i can’t appreciate the opinions of other people if i can’t even read them…
and thirdly, the amount of racism in the comments (which i shittily google translated) shocks me so much. i live in vancouver, where the huuuuge majority of the population is asian, so i’ve been jokingly called a gwai lo a few times, but never before have i been called “a stupid white bitch” and had my opinions invalidated because of my race. PoC, i understand white privilege a whole lot better now, shit.
i really don’t know what to do here, any ideas?
