Popular streamer and influencer Faze Rug has released a response to YouTube star PewDiePie, after the YouTuber mocked his anti-bullying video.

On 18th of March, Rug went in a different direction from his usual topic of content creation and showed up in a collaborative video with Dhar Mann to raise awareness around bullying in schools.

In the video, Rug shared the ultimate message being that it’s okay to be shy, and some of the big content creator like himself managed to find success even with their quite nature.

This video was well taken and appreciated by everyone but PewDiePie. He mocked the video for selling an unrealistic message to viewers according to him.

“There’s nothing wrong with being shy, obviously, but I also don’t think it should be highlighted as, ‘It’s great,’” PewDiePie said. “…this is like the lottery of YouTube content, right? You’re selling people a dream that doesn’t exist. To me, at least.”

A couple of days later Rug shared a response video to the situation and also mentioned that he had nothing but respect for PewDiePie. “I think PewDiePie might hate me,” he said. “…I’ve always had a feeling that PewDiePie had something against me. I don’t really mind anymore, because it’s PewDiePie. Respect to him. Something I can’t control, man.”

“I think the main thing to understand was that the intention wasn’t ill,” Rug said of his video. “Even though the message could have been portrayed better, the intention was to help shy kids break out of their shells.”
