The Comment Section with Drew Afualo · YEAR OF GAY Ft. Rebecca Black | Episode 147 · 4 Dec 2024 podcast

Yeah.

Yeah. I mean, it honestly has been, well, it's been something I've done a lot of therapy on. And I have, God, I've talked about this so much and sometimes I really don't even know what to say. But I think I am lucky to have an urge to dissociate at times. And that has been one of the protective mechanisms that has really helped me and also probably hindered me at moments of growth.

I think it's really... The big challenge that I had to face within myself was just being as young as I was. I was 13 years old when Friday happened. I never know how to say that. When Friday hit the second tower. I don't know. That's your 9-11.

I promise you that. But anyway, being that young and having so many people be so quick to be like... you did a really bad thing like you really fucked up which is so bad what exactly was it bad or did you just like not care for it like those are two very different trains of thought you know what i'm saying people on the internet really use the internet as a tool to like

unleash their frustrations i think at the time and project yes at the time i didn't know this being that i was a kid but um yeah i just i took i think i was in a place where i had no sense of self and i was just like trying to figure it out like i was because you're a child i was you know in the eighth grade um

And being that young, it just was really hard to, I think, develop like a identity that wasn't based around what other people thought of me and being accepted. And so that's been a challenge and doing that in an industry where like people hate women a lot of the time and have... Such unreasonable expectations of women just made that even harder.

I have crazy, crazy stories about crazy people I could tell for many days, but I just feel really lucky again to like have always had, even when at times it was maybe two people. online rooting for me and being like, you got this. I feel really lucky to have them.

And also to be in a place where like, I would not be where I am now if it weren't for the people who I've met in the industry over the past few years who have been like, no go, like you got it.

I'll step back I'll help you out but like do what you gotta do yeah um and it's so it like hate and opinions and and all of that like just feel so outside of my orbit and like I love that I think that's great I think I've watched so many people on the internet really struggle with criticism. It's not even criticism. Criticism is one thing. It's like being perceived and hate.

Hate and the cancellation and everything. It feels like a war that you have to win by saying the last word.

What I've learned is, like, the last word is being so unbothered by it. Yeah. And I feel grateful to, like, be at a place where, like, I'm pretty unbothered. Yeah. To a degree. Period.

27.

Yeah, I mean, like, we're all figures to people, and we're all not real.

There was actually this one thing I did years ago. There was a show that aired for, like, three episodes, and I think it was called Hater. And it was, like, some random CW, like, kind of coming out of the early 2000s trash reality TV situations where there were, like, all those really bizarre shows. And basically kind of, like, punked or, like, one of those type shows.

And they had me shoot an episode for it. And I was probably 15 or 14 at the time where basically you would have, they would find, they would cast like a real like hater. That's crazy.

Oh, I'm not doing that. And every episode, like I think Kim Kardashian did an episode, a few other people. And you would spend the day with a hater.

Basically. And the whole point was to, in some very unsettling way, get this hater to humanize with you and for the person to humanize with the hater or whatever. And so I did this. I spent the day with this, I think it was a woman in her late 20s, early 30s. When you were 14? Yeah.

yeah and we had a conversation at the end of the interview where like i basically was like fully in tears like not understanding why this girl was just like going off at you at me yeah the whole day was just like i hate i i mean back like just in just in general conversation like oh yeah it's like oh i fucking hate you yeah what yeah

i would love to re-watch this footage but basically at the end of the of the uh the point i'm getting to is at the end of the day we got to this conversation where she something literally like clicked in her brain and she was like i didn't think you were real like i
