Hong Kong vlog

On June 12, 2018, RiceGum uploaded a video chosen "Why I left the Ascendancy Firm (I'one thousand sorry)" (removed by YouTube for violation of policy), but instead of explaining on why he left the Clout House, the video instead focused on RiceGum'southward vlog to Hong Kong. While the clickbait was one of the problems in the video, information technology all paled out when RiceGum recorded himself in Hong Kong. In the airplane subsequently the arrival, his friend notifies him that they've arrived in Red china, and RiceGum does a praying hand gesture equally if that is what people from Hong Kong are known for (in addition of replacing a flag of Hong Kong with a Japanese flag upon arrival). Not to mention walking upon a random Chinese person in the airport, and mimicking a line from the picture show Rush Hr ("Do y'all understand the word that'due south coming out of my mouth?" - Chris Tucker), apparently trying to ridicule them for not understanding English.

Their behavior further worsened when they walked effectually the Hong Kong streets. For example, when they stumbled on a pot of Beefiness Entrails, Rice had the audacity to claim whether if that was dog meat (a stereotype that Asian people consume dog), and claiming "that shit looks disgusting". However, his vlog got fifty-fifty worse as Rice and his friends randomly touched the stranger's hands on the escalator. Also, in order to check whether if he is well-known in Hong Kong, Rice questions the civilians whether they know him, but escalated to the point where he questioned random strangers, "Where are the hoes at", "Where are the bitches at", "Practice you lot fuck with RiceGum?", and "Where can I notice the doggy?".

During the mid-section of the video, his friends intruded the wear shop and vandalized the mannequins in sexual poses and left them at that place for the others to meet. Not only that, simply Rice and his friends decided to give the onetime man a half-eaten water ice cream every bit a "sign of positivity" and bullied him to eat it, in which he reluctantly did. Finally, during the dark fourth dimension when all the shops were closing, Rice and his friend was near ane of the closing shops and intruded them just before it was barricaded. Despite the store possessor's plea to go out, they refused and mocked her accent in the process.

After the video got uploaded for everyone to see, non anybody was pleased with his behavior, and the backlash was massive. Many of YouTubers such equally NFKRZ, Fulinfang, Philip Defranco, Emi Wong, and a few others condemned and criticized him for his immature and insensitive behavior towards the civilians in Hong Kong. Half-Korean, Half-American YouTuber TerryTV approached the situation in a sarcastic manner and chosen his act "YouTube comedy 2018". There were many articles, news reports, and comments surrounding RiceGum's actions and how he afflicted them negatively.

Ii weeks later, on June 26, 2018, RiceGum responded to their criticism in a video called, "Why Everyone In China Hates Me... ". Instead of apologizing to them sincerely (In which he did in the stop merely in an insincere and forceful manner), he proceeds to defend himself maxim that "He was simply joking around.", and dismissed the merits that "Prostitute" in the video championship, equally information technology was translated in the Chinese video website, was non authentic and that they didn't know the American slang. Equally RiceGum further scrolled down on a video, he was subjected to a flurry of hate-filled comments by Chinese users. (Ex: "Ugly confront is annoying!", "Damn, I'll hire a killer to put him to pieces!", "Obviously, it is a mental retardation", etc.), in which he disregarded their comment. He also tried to defuse the situation by comparison himself to other comedians who are known for making fun of their own identities. Finally, he reacts to a Fulinfang's bluster about RiceGum's beliefs in Prc. Merely obviously, Rice completely disregarded his message and stated that he and his fans should bully him for his video.
