​@@nambui140 Half the planet (if not more) makes fun of America. Constantly. I don't really care. Neither do most other Americans. More people have an opinion on our country than have an opinion on Vietnam at the end of the day, and our country is seen in a worse light worldwide. If your system and people are more than teenaged, you should be able to laugh harmless jokes off. I mean, it doesn't seem like it after watching the video, given the traffic cops were likely looking for tourists to pay them bribes in the first place. That's why he made the subtitles as he did, but still. You think Ho Chi Minh would've been so mad about some words? Definitely not.

[@Laminar-Flow]

@@brockgan8941 Yeah, he said it himself. I personally think they are one of the funniest parts of his travel videos and generally they are self-demeaning more than they are making fun of the local population. In this case he was clearly mad at the traffic cops harassing him simply because he was white. If you watch the video again, the lady traffic cop was giving an attitude to the other couple from Poland for saying his permit should be different and should be fine, and to our man as well. They were in the wrong and he made fun of it. Thats it

[@Fujiwara_no_Mokou_]

In fact, the reason Vietnamese people have such an angry reaction is because they have something called patriotism, and it is very big. Just joking about saying something bad about Vietnam will make them angry, It's no longer just normal patriotism, it's an entire empire of extreme patriotism. You may ask why I know this? I've been to Vietnam and had a pretty good experience there. Anyway, your joke is okay, at least for us. But not with the Vietnamese and extreme patriots, as a Japanese, that is what I think That's all. 🥶

[@brockgan8941]

Your subtitles are some of the most absolutely hilarious shit I have ever seen. I think there is a language barrier problem. It is so absolutely clearly obviously humorous to any native speaker that I cannot imagine it being taken seriously. PLEASE NEVER STOP!!!!!! As an aside, I learned so many great things about Vietnam from your videos I never would have seen, and those subtitles kept me watching. So in a way they actually improved my view of Vietnam. Again, its very clear when you are making actual honest criticism, and when you are just riffing for fun. So right on the mind control comment...

[@NgocLoanTruong-dc4bz]

Have you seen the video he filmed the Vietnamese police checking his driver's license? The police woman just said that his driver's license was from .. and then her next words were cut off. You look at the subtitles he put on the video, he put the wrong subtitles, and the police in my country are not allowed to talk impolitely like that to foreigners as well as the Vietnamese people themselves. He even titled this video on tiktok as Vietnamese police taking bribes, while no one took money from him and they just checked and let him go, he even said thank you before he left as you saw. This is related to politics and the image of a country so we are really angry about this that's why people don't welcome him in Vietnam. He felt embarrassed and deleted this video on Tiktok. We respect all the countries we visit, so we hope everyone who comes to our country does the same. Sometimes humor is no longer funny, but it becomes worse if it's not in the right situation. For example, Will Smith slapped Chris Rock at the Oscars for making fun of his wife. I'm really sorry if I did anything to make you uncomfortable or unhappy by responding to you like this. I also just want to clarify the bad things about this guy.

[@kimchi_b]

The problem I guess is that humour isn't universal unfortunately. Even in the West the US remakes a lot of British comedies so they appeal to a broader American audience.

[@brockgan8941]

⁠@@NgocLoanTruong-dc4bzThe subtitles are OBVIOUSLY wrong. Thats the point. Nobody in their right mind would EVER think thats what they actually said, nor that they were actually taking bribes. Its humor, poking fun, not taking things seriously. If you think that these subtitles worsened people’s view of Vietnam you are sorely mistaken as they had the exact opposite effect.

​@@TheLeesto Bro, you compared a cool guy (Food Review) to a hypocritical guy (This video). Just accepted it already; all his claims from the video were like lies. He said he was doing fake subtitles in a lot of countries, but where? I don't see any; all I see are nice subtitles in Japan and other countries. You know why, because he doesn't want to end up like Johnny Somali, and the country that has the most fake subtitles is Vietnam itself. Target audience wasn't matter if government watched the video or not. Even If it was a joke, you still need put disclaimer on video. especially the government, and you don't want to make the government misunderstand you and put you at risk and people hated you randomly on Vietnam street. So yeah, it's all a lie.

[@petahdo]

The subtitle could be an intended comedic element AND they could also have negative effects on perceptions of Vietnam if some viewers missed the joke. Both circumstances can be true, which validates both side's arguments in my opinion. If I had to figure a middle ground for everyone, It's to keep the subtitle humor but to be mindful it does not come at the potential expense of a country/people.

[@rdpmackie]

For you, You can assume that the fake subtitles you added are normal and the fake subtitles are funny, but for us it's not like that, We Vietnamese people think that the words you use for fake subtitles are meant to insult foreign tourists, which can unintentionally cause foreigners to misunderstand Vietnamese people.

[@std8773]

In addition, your criticism of Vietnamese coffee is the same thing, you find it funny but Vietnamese people don't. Anyway, I don't mean to offend you, I just want to let you understand that words what you use when you're in Vietnam is important because they attach great importance to being polite when communicating with others, while the things you think are fun are related to words, that's why you are hated by Vietnamese people.

I'm from the South of Vietnam, I really think what you do is very normal, there's nothing worthy of criticism. On social networks, they said you criticized Vietnamese coffee (the part on the train), but you were right because you didn't know how the coffee seller made the coffee or what the origin was. You finish your coffee and you find it a bit strange so you criticize it. that's a very normal thing. Yet they also curse you for "criticizing Vietnamese coffee" (criticizing coffee on the train = criticizing Vietnamese coffee? Wtf). And then you are intentionally caught by the traffic police, they set up a roadblock just to catch foreigners. In that part, you added English subtitles in a humorous way just for fun, but they said you defamed Vietnam, they slandered you. I think what you did was very normal, but it touched their extreme national pride. Your experience is the experience of a free American traveling in a dictatorial, one-party country... so I hope you see what happened to you as obvious and predictable. . Vietnamese people do not have freedom of speech and have to live within that framework now, so what you do and say will be very strange to what they think. I hope you will not hate the country of Vietnam and all its people just because of this country's political system and some people who are easily narcissistic in certain regions.

Some people might not understand why people have to make it a big deal since he only makes jokes and people laugh about it but our people and government don't see it as a joke, we see his behavior as a negative threat that if we don't stop him or make him apologize and sign for the guarantee paper that he won't talk about false information of Vietnam, other tourists can copy him and it is a serious things we have to deal with.

Vietnamese here I seen the original video and I thought the subtitles was funny Yet I do get why some people are mad so here is some of my insight Just to be short, there is some main reasons, lack of internet common sense, most don't speak English, and the lack of humour of most people Many other younger Vietnamese people also said things to defend the joke but received things along the lines of "oh so devaluating vietnamese politics are a joke now?" Which honestly, fair enough Though the joke subtitles meant no hostility, it did touch. on sensitive topics and maybe not for everyone Talking shit is bound trigger some people; But that's mostly why many people love your content. Keep it up!

[@tienanhhoang6004]

Yeah I did find his subtitles are a bit touching, but it's still funny as hell 'cause I know it's just a joke right away. From this and a similar situation happened to Dan Hauer 5 years ago, I can see a few things from the internet in VN: people (mostly young people) are taking so much propaganda from the government that they've become nationalists and narcissists. They can't take anything as a joke if it is touching their "people" or "culture" a liiiiiiittle bit. If they spent some time watching his other videos on yt instead of seeing a 30-second out-of-context clip on tiktok, they would see he means no harm at all. Conner, if you are reading this, the only thing you did wrong at all, was using the shitty app tiktok. The whole thing is why I don't, and won't use tiktok for my entire life.

[@vu770505]

Also Vietnamese here, you cant just assumed that everyone would just automatically understand that it’s a joke and even when it is, doesn’t mean it’s not offensive to some. A lot of KZbinrs put up disclaimers for that purpose alone. No hate at all from me but I also can’t speak for others.

@@vu770505 from an argument i realized: people can find it offensive and I can't do anything about that. But the one bad thing i see is the wave of haters spamming hate comments everywhere - even vids showing other countries. They are even more offensive than the jokes he made

@@tienanhhoang6004 as a content creator, it is your responsibility to ensure your content is non offensive to the audience.

[@tienanhhoang6004]

@@vu770505 ok let's talk about some logics here: He did this kind of content at every country he came, somebody does found it offensive but they just 1. Turned off the video and watch another 2. Resub the conversation correctly so other guys can understand These guys take up a small percentage of viewers on this channel, the others mostly see this as a joke and find it's funny so they continue watching. => THESE can assure that the contents he made is fine enough and not too offensive for people to watch. Also nobody told him that VNmese can't take jokes tho, how could he have known then? His jokes are NOT about VNmese people, but about HIMSELF (being dumb, white, capitalist,...). If you watch the rest of his video instead of an out-of-context 30s clip on tiktard, you will see the locals are super friendly that make you wanna visit VN. And suddenly, only VNmese people on internet take these jokes personally, and not only "phản đối" , they start cyberbulling him. These "thousands of people" you said only tell that VNmese have no humor and are very toxic on internet over a joke they can't take.

I understand and respect your opinion, but I think it is clear that he means no disrespect to Vietnam or any other country. If you have watched any of his older videos you would see that he has always changed the subtitles in his videos. I think he makes it pretty obvious that he is making it up. It’s just that his channel blew up essentially over night and with that comes more people with different opinions and views so going forward he’s just gotta be a little more sensitive to his newer audience. Personally I think It sucks but that’s kinda how it goes once you become “famous” on social media.

Vietnam doesn't accept the American international drivers permit because the US didn't sign the 1968 Vienna Convention on Road Traffic (we only signed the 1949 convention) which is likely why they were giving you trouble.

Hey, I understand that you're making satire videos and that it was just a "joke." But in Vietnam, many people don't really appreciate their country being misrepresented like that, especially concerning police and politics. We've had a similar case where a foreign KZbinr was making jokes to our government and ended up being permanently banned from Vietnam. Additionally, your video has caused complete chaos, and many foreigners actually believe it, which negatively impacts the country's image. In summary, I suggest that you do a bit of research about the boundaries of ‘freedom of speech’ before traveling to any country, as each country’s regulations may vary. Some countries, like the USA, can be quite open, while others may have stricter limitations.
