Her books have me 100% convinced that Colleen was molested as a child and it REALLY shows, in addition to all the purity culture BS. It's very gross that children were exposed to any of it, and while I obviously blame her for writing and marketing it, I also blame parents who couldn't be bothered to flip through ten pages of it before giving it to their children because it's immediately clear that it is not for children. Is no one but other youtubers paying attention to what your children are exposed to? I just....I'm so tired.

​@@DelphineTheWorstBladeEver American flavour of puritanism unironically is hella demented and fucked.

[@cl5470]

I agree. She was both molested as a child AND has a personality disorder. Her personality disorder does not allow her to accept "weakness" or see herself as a victim, so she has spun a story in her mind that she was an active participant. I have a family member with similar issues. She will say things like "I think they liked the attention, so it wasn't that bad" about child SA victims because if she accepts that they are victims, she has to accept that she was a victim as well. I think Colleen is the same.

[@AndroidOverlord]

As long as I've been alive, I've had at least one cat around me and since spawning a consciousness if ANYTHING happened to ANY ANIMAL I would be inconsolable. Anyone who takes pleasure in hurting/ bothering animals for fun is an automatic no. This always means a shitty excuse for a human.

[@Rain_Reign]

[@chatnoir9038]

​@@Rain_ReignI'm a similar way, I'm very sensitive to the welfare of non-human animals. Humans too, obviously, but that's more expected of people. Been this way since a kid. That's one reason why I don't eat animals anymore, and why I'm participating in nature conservation efforts and taking care of my local environment by picking up trash etc. and educating people in my life about how to be considerate of animals in their everyday life.

[@lusyfox]

When I was a little child my mum bought a small dog. The funny thing is that she was born on the exact same day, month and year as I did. I loved her but since I was an annoying little baby the dog hated me. She did bit me once on my face and I had to go to the hospital. And my mum did think about putting her down for it. Thankfully she didn't. The dog lived a happy long life and died of an old age at the age of 17. If she did get put down I would have reggret it forever I'm sure.

She also has a hatchimal video where she forced her cat to force its way out of a paper bag and it's so messed up. I have this thing about not pushing animals past their stress/fear threshold/not violating their boundaries.

[@trashpanda3544]

When I was a kid I was mauled by my family dog and like colleen it was my own fault. I knew the dog didn't like kids and being touched but I ignored that and tried kissing his head anyway. I was only 7 but when I heard my parents were planning on having the dog put down I got on my knees and begged them not to do it because I knew it was my fault. I cried and cried until they gave in. I understand child her was scared about being told off, I was, but the thought of a beloved family member dying because of my stupidity and unwillingness to listen overrode the fear of punishment. I would be grounded for the rest of my childhood if it meant I could stop my dog dying.

Colleen went to Azusa Pacific University which is an evangelical Christian university in California. Learned this the other day because it’s where she met her strange friend Corey. Also, she started Miranda Sings there to make fun of the other girls there that would post videos to KZbin thinking they were the greatest signers and she thought they were terrible. It’s was just started to make fun of others. She’s always been a mean girl.

[@solveigstafford]

This is so sad because this concept could be great if she was actually a funny person. For example, Weird Al Yankovic released a scrapbook-type satirical autobiography in 1985 and it's hilarious. His brand of humor totally works with this format. Colleen's humor, on the other hand, is just so shallow and try-hard and caters to no one (like you've said, aimed at kids but too inappropriate for them, appropriate for adults but would be too immature for them, so viciously uncool that teenagers wouldn't touch it with a 10ft pole). Her awful behavior aside, it is just wild that she managed to have the career that she has.

So if you only recently knew about the dog does that mean that you don't know the things involving cats. There is the time that Miranda put her cat into a paper bag and closed it so that the cat needed to claw its way out so that it could be 'born' like a hatchimal.

Hurting/killing animals and taking pleasure/pride/humor from it from a young age is a known indicator of having antisocial personality disorder js 😶 (To be clear- not all people with aspd hurt animals or other people! It's just a trait that is well known)

[@Romanticoutlaw]

it's also one of the strongest indicators of a future serial killer. Not that people with aspd are born serial killers; they, like with any disorder, are far more likely to be victims than victimizers.

[@Izzy-cp8yt]

Honestly, as someone who's a survivor of evangelical christianity, I'm really not all that shocked tgat Colleen is/was likely some version of christian. Abuse is rampant in US christianity, and the oppressive, shame-driven purity culture really screws up how you view and exist in the world. I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if Miranda, besides being an ableist caricature, was Colleen's attempt at trying to work through her childhood/experiences before youtube gone off the deep end. Not that any of this is an appropriate way to do it, or a good attempt at it, but I could see it.

I can explain the Organ (Oregon) Trail joke (i.e. "I died of dysentery"), there was a computer game in the US back in the '80s and '90s called Oregon Trail where you traveled the eponymous trail from I think somewhere in Missouri(?) to, well, Oregon, via covered wagon in like 1849ish. There were often long stretches between towns and settlements during which any of your party/family members, including yourself, could get sick and potentially die, and dysentery was quite common (or infamous enough that it seemed common) to die from in that game, with the message on-screen when you succumbed to it being "You/[Party member] have/has died of dysentery."

I am curious if the uncle is based on someone from her youth as well.

16:45 !!! The Oregon Trail is a computer game played primarily in the 2000’s in the US. I remember going to the “computer lab” in elementary school, giving my “family” the weirdest names I could think of, then selling all of my possessions and killing my “family” by exposure or snakebite or disease lol 💀 Very much like how many of us would kill our Sims by giving them a pool and taking the ladder out after they get in Would definitely recommend - very nostalgic 10/10

[@mst3kharris]

The first game version of Oregon Trail was text-based and written in 1971; the first graphical version was published in 1985. It might’ve been less widely distributed but it was big in the 80s and 90s too.

[@HippieHorticulturalist]

The “dying of dysentery” on the Oregon Trail is actually a pretty funny reference, and one that was common on the internet 10ish years ago because it was a game a LOT of us played in school to learn about the actual Oregon Trail and that was a comically easy way to die in the game. It does again bring up the question of WHO this book is for though- I doubt anyone under 20 would have any idea where that joke came from.

[@elianwyn]

[@JacobLlewellyn]

I'm impressed by your determination to put up with Coba. I would have given up years ago

[@notyourdestiny3547]

The Oregon Trail bit was kinda funny (the dying of dysentery, not stalking and breaking into someone's home), not intelligently so, but I had to play the game as a kid so it brought back memories.

[@miseryhymns]

yeah the modelling jokes were about pimping her out, i feel like, so there ARE creepy uncle jokes in this book too. p.s. my mom is a minion meme mom and she would hate this. it is truly for no one

[@akiswix]

i bought this book as a kid, and i was disgusted. I didn't even finish it and hid it from my parents. Wanna burn it now

[@RyanSmith6644]

I grew up being told Fanny meant butt. We were not allowed to say butt so we could only say Fanny.

[@akastardust]

At 20:08, the camel toe "fan art" from Kory is Colleen's assistant and friend Kory Desoto, which makes this all even creepier. I Googled his name and he shows up under Upland, CA.

Killing and torturing animals is one of the first signs of being a sociopath

[@juliehanson8976]

And this woman has children. I’m now wondering what the heck goes on in her house

[@bonesawbrother930]

Based on what I’ve seen of Colleen’s books, if I had read them as a child they would have made me severely uncomfortable. To be fair, I was a very sensitive child, but these would have really bothered me for a good while after reading them

[@minty-draws-cartoons4754]

Colleen Ballinger is a person where I want to take her brain apart to see why she makes the decisions she does. Tbh theres a subset of people in the US that 100% believe that they are the only important beings on the planet. The type of people that can excuse crimes against fellow humans and defenseless animals because its not happening to them lol. No offense to anyone, but sometimes a bit of suffering can be healthy for people to have at some point in their lives.

[@maddieb.4282]

In the US????? Do you think sociopathy is exclusive to Americans???

[@mauri-mattiaslaanesaar5305]

So happy to see more and more Alizee book content coming out recently, let's goooo

[@joeyrufo]

"Kory, age 25" is her best friend Kory! The dude with the group chat called "Kory's Klit (tm)"!!! 😬😬😬😬😬

[@wearelegion1163]

Seriously! When I saw Adam McIntyre talking about that group chat name Kory used with minors, I was kinda shocked. Always got creeper vibes from him. He lived/lives with Colleen, Erik, & the babies. Along with dogs, cats, & chickens.

[@ShilohRules]

@@wearelegion1163 yeah. He still lives with them. And her mom and a nanny live with them as well.

[@anithabombita]

I used to watch her 'psycho soprano' channel a bit years ago, and she often talked about her very Christian upbringing and how she went to a Christian college where she met kory. She had a video where they talked about how he came out to her and that he was really nervous because he knew her whole family were quite homophobic but they embraced it about him with open arms...... but, ya know, old habits die hard....

[@DerpDevilDD]

I've never heard someone refer to feet and "floor grippers". I think I love it.

[@pringlebatch]

I like it, but it more makes me think of hospital-issued grippy socks

[@DerpDevilDD]

@@pringlebatch True. but I've been in the hospital so many times, that doesn't phase me.

[@ilovepartynextdoor00]

she gets worse and worse every single day 😭.

[@mishmazy]

You discussing this horrible “book” (more like inner thoughts of a POS child groomer) is what makes it bearable to listen to. I can’t believe she got away with this. My kids didn’t watch her but they said when they were about 10 all of their friends did… so freakin’ scary that up until now I thought she was 💯 for kids… well she is but not in a good way. I can’t believe I had no idea..

[@__LB_]

It’s wild that this one is the more toned down when the other was published by S&S children

[@a.evelyn5498]

I would not call yourself less successful so readily. I doubt she writes all of this on her own. Even if she does do it all herself, it is terrible. This is no Crime & Punishment.- Although she is having to face her crimes but trying to avoid punishment. She can sing well, but as for genuine talent? No, I wouldn’t call her genuinely talented. She has some objective talent- like her singing skill again. But artistically she doesn’t make anything will any value whatsoever. Thus I would not call het talented ultimately. Well except she sure has a great ol’ talent at grooming…. Her cats!

[@SakkaraKirax]

I cry if i accidentally step on my cat's tail. How do you have a nostalgic laugh about being the reason your dog was put down? I also hate when videos pop up on Shorts that are of people intentionally scaring their pets. They laugh hysterically after terrifying an animal they're supposed to love and take care of. You can't say to a cat "it's just a prank, bro!" They don't understand why you did that to them.

[@bongus840]

Her making these books is unforgiveable

[@katejenkins9925]

I was bit in the face by a dog when I was ten. The owners had given me permission (they were talking to my parents when it happened), the dog showed no outward aggression and I was just patting the side of its belly (the dog was old so I think I may have accidentally touched a sore patch). Despite it not being my fault, I told the owners and my parents that I had tried to pick the dog up and that is why it bit me, because I didn't want the dog to be put down. I can't imagine WANTING a dog to be put down. Absolutely vile.

[@superfansophie]

So much content! I feel spoiled 😂, don’t burn out Alizee lol

[@RogueAstro85]

The THX sound (aka the Deep Note) was used because it primed the audience to believe that the sound engineering was revolutionary. The THX logo debuted in 1984 before Return of the Jedi when movies were becoming more commonly seen as an extremely profitable industry and more entertainment rather than art. Theaters were starting to invest in higher quality speaker systems, so THX developed a sound logo to showcase it. The sound starts off quiet in a small range of frequencies and becomes a muddled mess as each tone goes towards it's end destination. It crescendos up to the final chord, and the chord itself has an auditory illusion of sounding louder than it actually is due to a bunch of harmonics and other stuff. Essentially it started as a crappy miniscule sound, becomes a random mess, and then punches the audience into the future with a loud resolving chord that was never before heard or felt in theaters before. It was meant to showcase that you were witnessing the future of sound design in movies. Fun fact: THX actually lost the original recording a few months after the first time it was used. Because the creator, James A. Moorer, had used a randomized path for the notes to take to get to the final tone, they couldn't recreate it properly. They tried over and over but none of the iterations had the same feel to the original. Eventually someone found a recording of it and after hearing it again, everyone agreed that it was irreplaceable.

[@DashXero]

Oregon Trail was the original Dark Souls experience. It was a hard-as-fuck educational computer game in which you played as a group of people in the eastern United States (during the era in which the country was expanding westward) trying to get to Oregon for the perceived opportunity at a better life. Dying of dysentery was a common death. There were many other sources of death in the game. For example, some of your party members could get lost in the woods, someone could die if you attempted to ford a stream, party members could die of frostbite or eating meat that wasn't properly prepared. Sometimes, someone in the party would just fall ill and die for no discernible reason. There was just so much stuff that could kill your party that was out of your control that reaching Oregon and finishing the game felt like a matter of pure luck. If you ever get the chance, try it.

[@RedHotMessResell]

Okay. So…. That darn poop picture reminded me of a comic book my friend and I made in middle school….. but like we were 11, and Colleen is a full ass grown adult. I look back on that stuff and think it’s embarrassing but apparently…. I could’ve had a best seller on my hands 😂

[@visaman]

Just like John Boy Walton. "I remember that fateful day on Walton's Mountain, when I made a poop, I showed it to Grandpa, and he told me that, he never saw one quite that big, in all his days, living on Walton's Mountain."

[@Allison-fs6bq]

Loving all the new content lately- thank you for suffering through this for us ❤

[@funmachine694]

1:10 Oh no, she referenced Magichan (Sonichu).

[@causticwit]

Magi-Chan? She's part of the Sonichu universe now?! How could this possibly get any worse?

[@SusanoWojitski]

she is the kind of person who thinks edgy = funny and cool. Like she wants us to think that she is so fucked up and weird. But at the end she is just pathetic and sad. No idea how she could even not being cancelled for these books already. This is so messed up that we let that slip through unfortunately

[@ItsMeVolatility]

I find you to be so funny, clever, and endearing. Always a joy to watch your content! :)

[@Thundersnowy]

She really wants to normalize her assault on the psyche of children. Like Bundy, Colleen has a facade, that she uses to operate alongside normal society. She knows how to seem like a nice person to those who don't look into her eyes and see pure evil. Hurting animals is 🚩🚩🚩 red flag. Colleen is exposing her thoughts as a child psychopath in those books. A creepy uncle (or aunt) who is clearly a pedophile isn't a joke. Children shouldn't be normalized to the idea of it either. People call her out for harming other living things, and she quickly spins her wrong behaviors, calling them 'mistakes,' as if it was a typo. What she calls 'mistakes we all make,' are crimes, or purposeful harm to others. Her 'mistakes' aren't things normal people 'mistakenly ' do, but she has no intention of changing, and she viciously🐍 makes that clear on the ukulele. She hates people who stand up for her victims. She has survived by getting her young cult members to attack anyone who criticizes her. She likes overpowering children and animals and then degrading and controlling them. She's mean. She enjoys being mean.

[@Itory1337]

14:07 Finally, a fragment that presumably comes from the author's heart and best describes what everything is really about: having an excuse to make one's mark at the expense of others. Constantly.

[@ReaverRoyale]

The idea that people find dead animals funny hurts my heart. I think introducing kids to animals is a great way to build compassion. Even the death of a beloved pet could at least be a safer opportunity to process grief and mourning at a young age. I grew up with many different animals in my life, and while the pain of losing an animal is harsh, I think it's also helped me appreciate all the little moments I've had with those animals. All of my pets have shorter lifespans than my own, but that just means I should make sure they're happy and appreciated now.

[@Katzykeens]

The animal abuse--spoken so happily by these people--is GODDAMN GROSS. X3x If I had done something so horrible i don't think I'd recount it as anything other than a 'PLEASE FUCKING teach your kids how to handle animals before leaving them alone with one' type cautionary tale and it's only cuz I'd feel SO damn guilty. X3x

[@anarchy7535]

"This weirdo's better than me in all the ways that count." Ah, but you're not a nonce.

[@altiarei]

Knowing what the THX sound is while listening to you talk about it was so fucking funny lmao

[@needacuppa1898]

Alizee you truly are spoiling us

[@gippuccino]

You know what all of this dead animal stuff reminds me of?? Serial killer behavior. As someone who loves listening to podcasts about serial killers and the like the pattern most of us notice is that killing or torturing animals at an early age is a sign of something bigger.

[@CrayonBoxOfInsanity]

I don’t know if anyone’s said it yet but the THX sound was originally used to show the range of audio in the theatre (or at least that’s what I heard LOL)

[@mysrx1]

there was a sticker saying "all wet!" on the poo page.....

[@foxtaste]

watched so many of your videos my internal monologue is your voice. HELP! lol
