Talk:CopperCab

Okay, I may not go onto this wiki a lot, but I heard that there was a CopperCab article on here and I can't help but share my thoughts about this guy:

Personally, I've got mixed feelings about this guy. On one hand, he's overreacting to the smallest of things, but on the other hand, it sounds like he's been bullied a lot -- and it sounds like he's been bullied WAY before he became a "soulless" YouTuber.

I'm not just saying this to irritate people; I'm being as calm as I can about this. But seriously, what is this guy thinking? Does he actually think that getting angry at even the innocent will stop this? People like to see that he's constantly P.O.'d and mad; they think it's making them stronger. However, that doesn't mean he shouldn't fight back. If he had just talked to someone or consulted a counselor, he wouldn't become the Notorious CopperCab, he'd just be CopperCab and people would probably like him better if he lost the attitude.

But really, it's annoying how he constantly vents and vents and vents until his freckles are as purple as his face. I mean, I'm not saying that calling someone a "ginger" is a particularly nice thing to do. It is derogatory, I'll drink to that, but it's not the only term in the book that's said to make people's hackles go up. As we all know, there's constant jokes about blacks and Mexicans and gays and lesbians and white people as well, so calling people "gingers" isn't the sole insult of today's teenaged lexicon. So why is it, I must ask, that when he stands in front of the camera and readies his lungs to yell and scream and rant and preach to haters like he's the Almighty, that he thinks that we only make fun of "gingers"?

Personally, I also find the term insulting (that's why I'm putting quotations around the words), so I would understand his frustration. I mean, if I were him and people were uttering pathetic Mickey Mouse-esque giggles about me, I'd be pretty mad. However, I'm not him, and my friends know I wouldn't go and make a YouTube account just to let off steam about these bullies. I mean, sometimes, when my guy friends make jokes like that I laugh, but that's only to play along. I think they know I'm uncomfortable with those jokes since my light chuckling isn't guffawing hoarsely like it should normally be; but since they like to see a girl squeak and cringe at pointless, slandering comments like that, well, opportunity that knocks should always be answered to them.

But that's not the case: The case is about this boy who you don't know whether to root for or rebuff him. To me, I think that while it's never fun to see a guy get bullied for his looks or talents or personality traits, he's taking this all too seriously. I mean, the main thing I hear him rant about is South Park and Michael Buckley. I don't see any problem with them; South Park always slanders modern day races and religions, and Michael Buckley may sound like an uptight silk-butt pain, but I doubt he really is. In fact, most of you know he's gay, and some of his videos depict him making jokes about homosexuals, so it proves that he's willing to make fun of his own orrientation in order to get subscribers.

Of course, I can't completely revile him for this. No one deserves to be bullied over this, no matter how bizzare the behavior is portrayed.

Bottom line, I hope he knows that he's acting hasty about this and I actually hope things turn out better for him.
