Petri dish challenge

[–]ediblesprysky 243 points244 points  (3 children)

"How many collabs can I film before I catch COVID-19" challenge

[–]karlynedl 63 points64 points  (0 children)

as if he’d ever admit to getting it

[–]youmustbeabug 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Ugh it’s funny cause it’s sad

[–]annualgoat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If he hasn't already had it. These people aren't going to tell viewers if they actually catch it.

[–]fauxkaren 2268 points2269 points  (54 children)

James Charles stop filming collabs during a pandemic challenge.

[–]Wifabota 165 points166 points  (7 children)

Honestly what a cool concept (and good example) a series would be that was "I coach *celebrity how to do makeup over zoom".

He's not essential, and so many people have adapted their careers to the current situation. Hello, even Jimmy Fallon worked from home?!

[–]glitterfitte 40 points41 points  (1 child)

Did you by chance watch the Nikkie Tutorials + Crystal Methyd collab? They did it via video chat and it was great! Didn't take away from the video at all imo, there's so many cool video ideas you can do while still being responsible. I mean you could do a collab with anyone on earth pretty much. Makes me think people are either really lazy or just fucking stupid when they choose not to care at all

[–]Wifabota 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I didn't! Love that though.

[–]musicstan7👁🔴👁 73 points74 points  (0 children)

Mad respect for jimmy cause he was the first one to venture to the online format, and then the rest of them followed suit. Just goes to show you can make the virtual format work for you if you want/need to. James just hasn’t bothered.

[–]jkraige[🍰] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Another good example was the collab he did with a bunch of influencers where they all covered a different part of the face lol

Like he successfully did it already and it came out well...

[–]Tsarinya 747 points748 points  (13 children)

Girl, no! You have a young baby at home! And James has been meeting up with everyone left, right and centre.

[–]queen-kitty 390 points391 points  (2 children)

James is a plague rat at this point

[–]owleaf 52 points53 points  (0 children)

💀

[–]maxilulu 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Always been.

[–]tunanunabhuna 50 points51 points  (2 children)

She has a baby?! I had no idea.

[–]Tsarinya 82 points83 points  (1 child)

Yup! A son with Playboi Carti called Onyx Carter. Which is quite cute since her real name is Amethyst.

[–][deleted] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Lol I thought she named the baby after the two group. I’m dumb :/

[–]ChapterEight 1293 points1294 points  (18 children)

This is seriously so exhausting. People are dying. The tiktoks and parties and collabs can wait.

People have had to attend their parent’s, brother’s, sister’s, child’s, funerals and graduations, etc over a screen and a camera but your tiktok video is more important, right?

edit to add: I do not care if they’ve been tested recently or not, either. you can get tested on day 1 and get infected on day 2. especially w people like Jc i don’t trust him to get tested and then isolate until he gets the results back.

[–]90dayole 289 points290 points  (14 children)

Thank you! The people saying 'well we got tested' - was it the second before you stepped in that person's door? Because if not, you could have been infected in the uber on the way over, at the Starbucks drive-thru, etc. I saw a tiktoker use this excuse for why she travelled from New Jersey to California as if there weren't 1 million ways she could have gotten infected on the trip there. I feel insane sometimes just being rational hahah

[–]ChapterEight 155 points156 points  (0 children)

Yep! It’s also incredibly privileged to just be able to go get tested whenever you want. I had to wait 3 days for a test recently and guess where my ass stayed during that time? At home! And guess where I stayed the 2 days while waiting for results? At home!

[–]FirstMasterpiece 69 points70 points  (12 children)

Because if not, you could have been infected in the uber on the way over, at the Starbucks drive-thru, etc.

Also idk how it is in Cali, but here we’re being told anywhere from 3-12 days for results. That’s nearly 2 weeks to be infected after testing, even if you end up getting a clear.

[–]marshelby 46 points47 points  (9 children)

I’m in Cali and rapid testing is definitely reserved for the wealthy. My boss paid for one (because he cares for his elderly parents) and they were $250. Luckily I don’t think we have the lag we once did in testing and awaiting results.

[–]ChapterEight 7 points8 points  (6 children)

Holy shit. Do you have to pay for regular tests too?

[–]marshelby 7 points8 points  (3 children)

I don’t believe so this is just a better test that can tell you right away. I think you just have to pay for rapid tests and antibody tests.

[–]__dahlia__ 16 points17 points  (1 child)

Just want to add this here real quick to anyone considering; that while it is “better” in terms of a time frame, an antibody test will overall be less accurate in determining active infection than a PCR based test (which can take longer).

Antibody testing (also referred to as serology testing) will essentially show if you have antibodies to the virus (indicating your immune system is currently fighting or has fought it) whereas a PCR based test will show an active infection as it measures the amount of the virus.

A PCR test will also be able to pick up an infection earlier than antibody testing as it measures the amount of virus as compared to the body’s response.

[–]marshelby 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh yes I totally agree. From my understanding in California at least it’s a test you pay for not provided to you for free. They were doing them in my building a couple months ago and it upset me because I didn’t want compromised people to have a false sense of security.

[–]ChapterEight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the info. I’m not American so I wasn’t sure.

[–]MoonlitBlossoms 3 points4 points  (1 child)

My son’s employer tested positive and rather than helping cover his employees tests he left it up to the employee as to whether or not they wanted to get tested. My husband’s insurance covered a portion of the test, not the full test and my son had to wait about a week for the results. He pretty well had to quarantine in his room and bathroom since I’m currently pregnant and we couldn’t take a chance of his potentially spreading the virus. Luckily, he tested negative, but it was super scary and completely ridiculous that the employer did not cover the expense.

[–]ChapterEight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, I am so sorry. I can’t believe it’s a pandemic and you have to pay to be tested.

Situations like yours are what especially makes seeing these celebrities out and about and getting tested whenever they want, so frustrating.

[–]NotAZuluWarrior 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I’m in SF. Rapid test are free here. You get results in about two days.

[–]marshelby 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure which one my boss is doing but you find out shortly after the test like within the day. I think Whitney Cummings is using once similar from what I’ve seen on her social media

[–]90dayole 8 points9 points  (0 children)

And I think we all know that these kids aren't completely quarantining during that period like most rational adults are

[–]nononononobeyonce 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not to mention all the false negatives this janky ass virus been doling out

[–]likeicare96 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Not to mention the intense privilege it is for them to get tested often when others struggle.

[–]Isittheweekend 310 points311 points  (6 children)

Isn’t it funny how James “apologizes” on his vlog for going to parties during a pandemic and how we should all practice social distancing, and then weeks later invites celebs over for fucking tik toks. These influencers are just desperate idiots at this point idk

[–]Wifabota 103 points104 points  (3 children)

He made the announcement he was going to apologize IN A HOT TUB AT THE PARTY. "I have a very important message in tomorrow's video so please watch". IN THE DAMN HOT TUB. AT THE DAMN PARTY.

so stupid.

[–]maurabrn 34 points35 points  (2 children)

Please, tell me you are kidding. I can't believe this level...

[–]Wifabota 19 points20 points  (1 child)

It was in his YouTube "stories". He was in a hot tub at a party promoting his video coming out the next day, and said there is a very important message I need to talk about, so please watch. Watched. It was the text screen of his apology for the party. No joke.

[–]maurabrn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Unbelievable.. I'm not sure if cry or laugh over this

[–]rifat_yasin 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Because they're paid for making tiktoks so they don't care.

[–]comin_up_shawt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He prefers to ask forgiveness before asking permission.

[–][deleted] 415 points416 points  (15 children)

Hasn't she got a very young baby as well? Why risk your child's health for a tik tok?

[–]Alison1989 64 points65 points  (4 children)

What’s euphorias lights?

[–]Nuudelikeitto 34 points35 points  (1 child)

It's a trend on tiktok where you have no makeup on and then you fall on your back on your bed and suddenly there's a blue dark light everywhere and you have sparkly makeup on. 🙄

[–]conesfordobby 26 points27 points  (0 children)

...jesus fuckin christ. Imagine risking your babies life for blue lighting. I just. I...ugh

[–]Cas_y 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I came here for this as well...

[–]curlystruggle 160 points161 points  (0 children)

social distancing....pls can we act like we’re in a pandemic pls

[–]Crissy323 135 points136 points  (0 children)

Man Tik Tok really has people losing their minds. Yet we can’t take the pandemic seriously enough and obsess over that instead. So careless of them both.

[–]lilguavachan 89 points90 points  (3 children)

why is she still somewhat of a thing, we could've just left her in the 10s where she belongs

[–]blueberrybearpaw 52 points53 points  (1 child)

She should have never been a thing

[–]lilguavachan 10 points11 points  (0 children)

you're not wrong

[–]palminconservatorymac hyper real clown 🤹 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Imagine risking your life and inspiring teens all over the world to risk theirs because of Iggy Azalea...

[–]golden_finch 105 points106 points  (2 children)

Pandemic aside, I didn’t even know Iggy Azalea was still relevant.

[–]transitionshadeNirvana Cleberly Bills 60 points61 points  (0 children)

She is not, that's why she is recording tik toks with problematic influencers

[–]ShaquilleOhNoUDidnt 7 points8 points  (0 children)

she has to cancel tours because she can't sell tickets

[–]pvtblith 130 points131 points  (0 children)

They literally have an effect on Tik Tok to recreate the kind of lighting... god they're both idiots

[–][deleted] 21 points22 points  (1 child)

Wow, enlightened by her priorities.

Sarcasm aside, at this point, he's asking to repeat 2019. He does something stupid and bad consistently whilst ignoring people's concerns and criticism (not hate, criticism) which festers until one final "drama" completely demolishes him. While I dislike him very much, I think he knows how to make entertaining content alone, so I can't understand WHY he's collabing NOW, during a pandemic.

[–]palminconservatorymac hyper real clown 🤹 15 points16 points  (0 children)

His active self-sabotaging is mind-blowing. Dude, you have miraculously risen from ashes of cancellation and this is what you're choosing to do?

[–]slytherinxiii 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Can this just be the year we all quit giving influencers and celebrities attention? Smh.

[–]eburton0315 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I work in a care home and family members can’t even come in to see their loved ones but look at these people

[–]SomeLunch 60 points61 points  (0 children)

How is he still advertising his complete disregard for the pandemic???

[–]staticstartur not on my mood board 99 points100 points  (1 child)

James Charles is the fucking worst man, it is not that hard to social distance in a pandemic.

[–]palminconservatorymac hyper real clown 🤹 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Especially for someone with his house and money

[–]Donutcomeforme[S] 73 points74 points  (0 children)

Once again celebrities and influencers ignoring guidelines with distancing, I doubt either of them would’ve been tested prior to or after the visit, Will they ever stop and take responsibility with the position they’re in

[–]CountingDownTheDays5 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I never understand people who want to keep their rep clean but align themselves with people who have racist past. FYI Iggy said she was a slave master.

[–]rougecookie 13 points14 points  (0 children)

He is such an idiot, I can't...

[–]myurikai 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Girl just use filters like the rest of us

[–][deleted] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Isn't she a new mom? Why is she exposing her kid to the outdoor elements?

[–]xsullengirlx 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I don't understand why this was so necessary. Why is filming a tiktok SO IMPORTANT at midnight that you have to break social distancing, then also share it on social media as some kind of "brag". It's bad enough to do it in private but it's obvious they don't care at all when they tweet it out to all their followers.

Couldn't Iggy just order the lights on Amazon or use PostMates and film the tiktok when they arrived? Seriously NO reason she had to specifically go to James Charles' house in the middle of the night in a pandemic (in a hotspot!) to do this.

[–]HieronymousTrash 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Trying to get canceled is an interesting way for her to take a stab at relevance, I guess!

[–][deleted] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Ughh...her. I thought she disappeared

[–]venicebinch 17 points18 points  (0 children)

These people are exhausting.

[–]LookInMyPast 23 points24 points  (0 children)

The way we all are collectively frustrated over JC not care about people is how I feel about my brother who keeps partying and pretending is work... I wish everyone who refuses to stay at home out of boredom should be sent to a separate island so the rest of us can follow the safety measures without being afraid of dying bc these people want to party.

[–]portreport 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Wow that shocks a total of zero people...... Seriously so irresponsible

[–]ClNNABABE 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Wonder when James is gonna collab with COVID next?

[–]jeajelloSisaster 😎 29 points30 points  (0 children)

God they can seriously do this through FaceTime CORONAVIRUS IS STILL ALIVE AND THRIVING 🤦‍♀️

[–]_red_emptionWhat's in my Bank Account 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What it must be like to be ✨rich✨

[–]siameseslim 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Euphoria lights sounds like a brand of cigarettes targeted to teenage girls.

Also, does Covid make ass implants melt?

[–]scottietrademark 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is so tiring...

[–]owleaf 11 points12 points  (1 child)

I mean lots of celebs are still hanging out and posting it. Didn’t Megan Thee Stallion and Cardi B shoot the WAP video fairly recently? No one was dragging them. Not trying to excuse James and Iggy (or anyone) but we should stop holding these celebs up as some type of role model

[–]Cutieq85 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Speaking of that and the privilege mentioned earlier in the thread... I read that Cardi spent 6 figures on COVID testing for everyone involved in the production of the video... it’s crazy.

[–]kamclark3121add your own flair 43 points44 points  (6 children)

I get that this is frustrating, and lots of celebrities are not being very good role models right now. But, please please please, use some of the energy you’re devoting to cancelling youtubers and recognize that this is the government’s fault.

We, as Americans, have been failed tremendously by our leadership. For every person that sees James Charles collab with his friends or whoever on YouTube, there’s a hundred more who have no choice but to go to work even if they’re sick because there’s been no rent relief or stimulus since March.

Influencers should be held accountable for wrongdoing, but don’t forget that they’re only in the wrong because our federal, state, and local government has abandoned us to the plague. It’s like the colleges blaming their students for outbreaks, these influencers should never have been in this position in the first place.

[–]Lulle79 54 points55 points  (5 children)

You are right about the government epically failing at dealing with this pandemic, however that doesn't absolve anyone who isn't taking personal responsibility seriously. In fact, even with adequate official response, the authorities really can't fight an outbreak without the population strictly adhering to mandates and regulations. If people decide that having fun is more important than keeping themselves and others safe, no public policy is going to be effective.

[–]kamclark3121add your own flair 13 points14 points  (4 children)

But it doesn’t in reality matter what James Charles does, because most of the population has to go to work and expose others regardless. Schools are open, restaurants are open, and rent is due. They’re trying to distract us by getting us to blame each other while simultaneously maintaining an environment that forces exposure.

[–]Lulle79 4 points5 points  (2 children)

It does matter. The severity of the epidemic is the sum of individual decisions. Having to go to work doesn't necessarily mean infection if everyone involved is following precautionary measures. It's not an "all or nothing" situation, where if some people are exposed then everyone can just purposely take risks.

Plus, I don't know where you live, but where I am restaurants and schools are closed. I work in retail and I have been on unemployment since March. I went back to work for a couple of weeks in June but the state had to shut us down again because the infection rate was on the rise. Not because of people who had to go to work like me. Because of people who were partying in the city parks, having private gatherings with friends and family, and celebrating Memorial day like nothing was happening.

[–]kamclark3121add your own flair 1 point2 points  (1 child)

That’s like blaming climate change on people who use plastic straws. We didn’t fail each other, our government failed us

[–]Lulle79 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So you think because government response is not adequate we should all just say "whatever" and make zero effort to contain the issue at our own individual level with the things we can actually control? Not even try to recycle or refuse to wear a mask?

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They’re trying to distract us by getting us to blame each other

Ah yes, the big bad "they." "They" are always to blame.

Schools are open, restaurants are open, and rent is due.

And where I live, the infection rates are skyrocketing.

[–]NikkiCole24 18 points19 points  (2 children)

I am SOOOOO SICK OF THIS ASSHAT!

[–]jimmypageizgod 11 points12 points  (1 child)

Which

[–]Applesauceryishere 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Both

[–]lyricreaux 3 points4 points  (0 children)

These celebs still need their money... duh... they are above the pandemic... never mind the thousands without a job. No keep pumping out videos and merch and make up...

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lmao just fuck covid and quarantine right guys???

The virus is a social construct and we can just do whatever we want right guys???

/s

[–]shockedpikachu123 5 points6 points  (0 children)

How exactly is she a tiktok “expert?” JC dances like a lego character lol . He should stop being irresponsible during the pandemic

[–]notyouravgwhore 8 points9 points  (0 children)

James Charles’s audience is young people, and they are the most careless group about COVID rn, and he decided to do all of this? He is an influencer, he needs to do better.

[–]saintfunflower 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How has he not had Covid yet

[–]honeyhunnit 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm ready for the tiktok ban!

[–]r_caAlso, your bangs suck. 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Is he trying to kill people or die? At this point I can only assume it’s at least one of the two.

[–]applle191 9 points10 points  (6 children)

Where was this energy for Patrick

[–]lipscratch 23 points24 points  (5 children)

in the thread?

[–]applle191 4 points5 points  (4 children)

Not to the same level of intensity

[–]lipscratch 13 points14 points  (3 children)

james charles has broken quarantine like 25000 times and patrick has only been shown on this sub to break it once or twice, of course it's going to be disproportionate energy because it's a disproportionate amount of times

[–][deleted] 5 points6 points  (2 children)

Anyone that has the courage to just post a picture of themselves disregarding all the recommendations probably did it a lot more. Just saying.

[–]palminconservatorymac hyper real clown 🤹 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're probably right. I've read someone mention Patrick going to the opening party of Glam house, but I can't find any photo proof at this point.

[–]lipscratch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

not really relevant considering it’s about what we see not about what they do behind closed doors. people arent going to be as mad about something that “could possibly” have happened than things they have seen happen

[–]rosewaterbubbles 4 points5 points  (4 children)

james “plague rat” charles is literally asking for my unsubscribe rn 🙄 can’t believe he keeps meeting up with people. so irresponsible.

[–]Annoying_Details 12 points13 points  (1 child)

Out of curiosity- Why have you not unsubbed yet? What are you waiting for?

[–]rosewaterbubbles 4 points5 points  (0 children)

just did it yesterday

[–]nononononobeyonce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I must've missed the news about Iggy being a queen. Of tik tok. Okay.

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hello, is this CPS?

[–]lolllipops 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah he's not going to stop. The reason he keeps doing stuff like this is because they get views. The only way he'd stop is if these videos wouldn't get views, but his fanbase is dedicated enough and young enough to ensure that doesn't happen.

[–]Resinmy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This isn’t really gossip-worthy

[–]hotbriochedameron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish JC just stayed gone after Dramageddon 2.0 🙄

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We really shouldn’t be surprised by this point. We know he’s an entitled brat, he’s just further confirming it

[–]PeggyCarter9096 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Guys! Stop it! Tik Tok is the pandemic antidote! That’s why the tik tok was so important to film 😫‼️

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s kinda hard to tell from this tweet whether she borrowed his light and they didn’t make contact or if she filmed it at his house tbh

[–]_otterr -1 points0 points  (0 children)

He needs to have his brain checked—How can someone be this fucking dumb all the time?? Anyone who takes his apologies as sincere need to reeeeeally re-evaluate that....What a greedy, cocky douchebag.
