@@dariuswilliams7509 It's not generational. The impact on her life is not fake though, some people will treat like she did it and she had no say in it's creation or distribution or is paid for it. People do have a right to determine how their image is used. If someone started putting my face on random meme shit it can be pretty tough reconciling. But porn has other baggage. She had extended family see the stuff and reach out and we're not told if that was supportive or shitty. And considering her family is very religious, a lot of it could be shitty. That's really awful for something she had no part of and the removal of consent is also a massive problem. It's not about generational divide but more that us guys don't have to think about so many people wanting to see us like that. We have different relationship with it. Like Ludwig said, his balls leaked and it was humorous even if similarly violating but for women, that shit doesn't go away. They have to deal with it all Poppin into their DM's to pop into their business email for it to be sent to relatives and have to field a phone call about it being fake.

Thank you so much for not paid walling this conversation, that was really important to hear

[@mewgiah8057]

Mike should go out on his own, because he is far more likable when he isn't with Logan. Just in general, I think the guy has been through a lot in his personal life compared to his friends, and has a ton of experiences. Because of this, I think he's able to empathize and see when things are wrong. Unfortunately, he's all in with Logan and has his whole career tied up in his sphere. And because of that he's often thrown into situations where he's having to go along with people doing bad things. Not making excuses. BUT I just think he would do a lot better if he tried going off on his own, and wasn't dependant on scummy people. I feel like he has enough fans that he could do streaming full time, or just something entertainment based. Because regardless what you think of Mike, he has a personality that clicks with certain people. He's good on camera, and knows how to entertain.

[@inFiniteTraCer]

just about everyone he associates with has been exposed for garbage behavior or scamming common folk. I STILL like to think Mike isnt like that....but maybe he does use his charm for bad.

This conversation with QT really brings some additional light to Atrioc’s written apology. It was well-written, but it speaks volumes that he lacked initiative to do anything other than apologize to his stream without QT pushing him. It makes the apology feel way less genuine. Like QT said, he NEEDS to pay to clean things up, but even after he does that, he is not owed any forgiveness from these girls (or the audience for that matter)

I was really disappointed to hear that. I really thought he was taking those steps on his own accord.

[@jana-on3sq]

This actually feels like the first time I've heard somebody talk about the impact this kind of sexualisation has had on their body image issues so directly and honestly. Having struggled with an eating disorder in the past I have had trouble realising why sexual harassment and objectifying comments have had such a negative impact on my recovery. I realised that when people treat me or my body as an object, it sets me back years of recovery, of telling myself that I am more than my body, that people see me as more than that and that my worth is not determined by it. QT talking about that effect so openly makes me wish that more people can understand how that objectification can hurt so deeply and I genuinely hope she and everybody else affected by this situation can heal. ❤

[@fananzo]

These guys creating such a safe space for QT to speak freely and be vulnerable, especially as the only girl in the room, is so beautiful to see. No one talking over her or undermining her experience, just listening to her and showing love. Also her face when Hasan mentioned that he’s already in touch with AOC about this situation and passing legislation was so heartbreaking, but also heart warming, you can see how much someone taking this shit really seriously and being proactive about this means to her. I loved this episode and I’d love to see these four in future episodes. Such a cool dynamic. And love how it’s a serious convo but they’re still making each other laugh.

[@catherine31544]

from Atrioc's twitlonger apology I assumed that QT was helping out with suggestions for restitution but dang she REALLY had to hold his hand through that one, huh. It's illuminating to discover that the things I appreciated most about his second apology (paying legal fees, working with the law firms, etc) were all because QT did the heavy lifting in providing him with actionable solutions. Honestly, thanks for being open about how those conversations went down. QT deserves so much credit for her handling of this awful situation.

[@xeonbladev18]

I don’t think that should be a big negative for Atrioc though. He asked someone what he should do like he should’ve because QT has way more knowledge about this than him and he agreed to take those actions. Still a good set of actionable steps for him even if he didn’t come up with them

[@LiveOutLoud321]

@@xeonbladev18 You’re right that it’s good he plans to take the action steps and that is something. But at the same time, it also didn’t sound like he necessarily approached QT from a place of looking for her direction on steps to take but instead she just sorta laid them out for him out of frustration. It also makes me re-think his authenticity because his apology came off as if those steps were from him and showed how sincere/serious he was about taking responsibility but now we know QT had to prompt them and he didn’t even give her credit for the guidance.

[@xeonbladev18]

@@LiveOutLoud321 I can agree to that mostly. Maybe I’m just slightly leaning towards it still being a good thing he asked someone directly affected on how he should handle this. He did seem genuinely sorry to me but just needed guidance from a women directly involved. It makes sense why’s she’s frustrated obviously especially considering they were really close friends so I get where you’re coming from too. But I still see it as an overall good response from him with actionable steps which is so rare to begin with too. But of course I don’t know any of these people and my opinion means nothing compared to theirs.

[@Cyzs66]

Asking for advice from those directly harmed by this seems like a good thing from my irrelevant perspective

[@FaultyWirestv]

Atrioc was probably the person whose content I was consuming the most up until this happened. I am extremely disappointed, and obviously he did something really disgusting here. While deepfakes are the latest trend, a LOT of people consumed the very real hacked nudes of celebrities and content creators in the iCloud leaks a few years ago (many did so openly and voraciously), and didn't quite realize the harm it was doing to those people because they consider them celebrities and "it comes with the territory", similar to the narrative that some ignorant people are levying about the deepfake stuff too. And after the public discourse shifted toward how much of a violation it is, people were able to change their opinions on the matter. Now, I can't truly know how QT or anyone else is going to be impacted either short- or long-term by this deepfake situation, but it does have some parallels. I do believe that Atrioc does feel like a piece of shit for this, maybe exclusively as a result of being told how bad it is by people, maybe of his own volition, but I do find it mildly disappointing that the takeaway from him trying to take QT's advice as to what path to take to start making things the slightest bit better is that the damage is irreparable. I believe forgiveness should be an option (and she does sort of open the window for "maybe down the line i will feel differently"), and to say he can't be helped while he's doing exactly what I ask of him feels... tough. It's hard to know exactly what to do, and it's hard to know exactly what the women impacted will want you to do. I still have difficulty when trying to decide how far someone has to go with something before you should never give them a chance to grow and change and make amends. If he denied his actions, if he tried to pretend like it didn't happen, if he wasn't trying to make some sort of steps to repair some of the damage, it would be an easy "bye forever" type of situation, but I find it frustrating when people rush to cancel people forever for every poor decision that happens. The whole situation is just extremely disappointing and maddening, but because Atrioc was the one to have brought it to the public, in some ways he's being treated like the person who is creating the deepfakes. Yes, there are extreme problems with the concept of how you view women if you choose to consume this type of media. Yes, not taking the time to think about the impact of your live apology and potentially platforming it further is an extreme fuckup. But overall at least the dude seems to be willing to accept the blame. That's more than you can say for a large number of people who do awful things. I would be shocked if if none of the people currently decrying atrioc as unforgivable have never either searched or looked at hacked/leaked nudes of a celebrity. People treated that thing extremely commonplace for a long time. It really is hard to form an opinion on anyone's actions without the benefit of time passing. I'm just sad, overall.

As someone who also only knew Mike through his proximity to Logan Paul, this was one of the most heartfelt and amazing podcast episodes so far. To see what a genuine and thoughtful person he is and the conversations that came from that was something incredible.

[@maggiecraft3978]

Thank you QT for opening up about disordered eating. ❤

[@tedddybear]

I had no idea she struggled with that before this ep, but it means so much to hear about her experience as someone who has also struggled for most of their life with an ED. I’m so glad she is using her voice to talk about these very important things when she doesn’t have to, and in fact, it’s extremely hard to talk about. I’m so glad she was part of this podcast ep

[@gothicrice8705]

That's the part that really got to me too, I just can't imagine how triggering seeing those videos and pictures was. Seeing a fake "perfect you" in deep fake porn.....I know my disorderd ass wouldn't be able to handle it 😭 she's so strong

[@alexandra4873_]

QTs bulimia incident brought me back to 19 year old me. I can’t believe I used to do that to myself. I’m 30 and I’ve also had those situational relapses after something traumatic happens. Crazy, I’m proud of her for taking on those interviews. What a legend

[@jikoos]

as a woman who has a next to no voice online, i'm greatful that qt is taking these fights. she's a w for women she really is. i wish her only the best of luck

[@matthewburton6360]

Shoutout to QT. She’s such an amazing woman for talking about the things she’s going through. Like truly I think that will change some minds who are unsure about the situation. Definitely an illuminating testimony. Would love her to be permanent host. Also Will out here asking REALLY good questions. I too had some preconceived notions about Mike bc he is around Logan and this definitely showed how much of an empathetic raw person he is. Lovely episode. Lovely people. 👍

[@TrixTasha]

Came here to hear QT’s story but ended up being touched by Mike’s story as well. Such an important discussion on empathy and the complexities of supporting family members with addiction. Really great episode!

[@emilymaher6459]

the conversations about substance use disorder, recovery, family support, and resources made me tear up. These somewhat small conversations are super important to reduce the stigma of substance use disorder.

[@jerbearlee1681]

I'm a huge fan of QT and Atrioc and I'm glad she addressed how she was handling everything. The fact that it feels like she's was doing all his PR for him is insanity and I'm glad she set her boundaries and hope she heals from this and helps bring change with the interviews she's going to do and hopefully bring the situation to a close. All the love for her and the girls that got exposed to this because of the wildfire of the tragedy.

[@tedddybear]

Damn the full 2 hours. Thanks for releasing it all

[@gothicrice8705]

God I really do feel for QT, I already struggle with disorderd eating/purging and I can't imagine how seeing myself having a perfect body in deep fake porn would affect me, like that's so incredibly triggering. I hope she heals from this :( sending love her way

[@zachtooill]

What QT said about her reaction to seeing herself like that needs to be heard by the masses.

[@eviejoy_]

qt is the coolest. shes such a role model for me

[@tedddybear]

I’m such a politics frog. I understand why they don’t do a political podcast but it’s so much fun to hear guests talk abt politics when they traditionally don’t

[@blowfishfootman]

absolutely its so fun to hear people talk politics who they usually dont. it feels so much more authentic and lighthearted bc its not like political nerds having a dick measuring contest

[@tedddybear]

@@blowfishfootman yes!! you get it

[@theAlex2577]

i dont know why hasan doesnt make it his niche, i know most guests wont, but i feel like they are a million other podcasts where "content creators talk about their life, and there are 0 where some random youtuber can speak his mind on complicated topics with someone more knowledgeable but also isnt out to get them canceled. i feel like thats such a bigger vertical for growth rather than just another pod with guests

[@rakkatytam]

Yeah, I love hearing normies talk about politics, it lets me better understand the people around me instead of judging them in the moment and creating tension

[@minn_e]

It’s interesting too that because it’s not a live broadcast, the guest is not as tense about discussing certain topics which ends up making for a more intriguing conversation

[@julialll7791]

loving what QT brings to the table, she's an amazing co-host ❤️

[@CatieAndHerCats]

I appreciate how the 3 men in this conversation held themselves. They asked questions, listened and admitted that they will never experience what QT is going through because they're not women. That's all we want. All too often, men will invalidate our reality and women are fed up. Especially after Roe was overturned, I have had zero patience catering or attempting to education men on anything regarding gender. We just want to be heard and we want to be left alone.

[@Quinble]

QT briefly hit on a point that women don't have the option to not be sexualized; they're either forced to make porn of themselves to profit, or have porn made of them without their consent

qt sharing means so much to me. i’m working through processing my own trauma with disordered eating + harassment etc. in therapy, and it’s been hard to not feel alone. this was a beautiful reminder to keep fighting, and to hold others accountable when it comes to changing stigmas, laws, and overall attitudes towards what all women go through.

[@Wrongturn4269]

I didn’t know that mike majlak was in recovery. The conversation they had surrounding recovery + harm reduction was great. As someone in recovery as well who has been struggling with chronic relapses after 5 years with no substances, this was a conversation I really needed to hear today.

@@Rosterized I too was addicted to oxys for a decade due to chronic pain/surgeries etc. Just celebrated 6 years off opiates. It is possible! I am fortunate enough to live in Canada, and that definitely helped. I can't fathom the astronomical number of how many people need access to mental health care, jeez, any care in general, not be able to have any resources. I empathize with Mike's story. I'm interested to read his book.

[@sharp_objects]

This was one of my fave podcast episodes EVER, not just on this channel. Props for keeping the second half without a paywall. Great topics and great chemistry from everyone!

Second half of the podcast was amazing (specifically when QT walked in).

[@LiveOutLoud321]

QT!!!!! So excited she’s back again. I love hearing her take always (please make her official on the podcast I beg you), but I’m especially grateful that she is willing to be as open as she is on topics that were discussed today because her voice is so needed.

[@KayeTheDragon]

Just commenting to be another voice in QT’s corner. Thank you for keeping it real. Please remember to be proud of yourself for how you’re not only handling this, but taking it head-on because you felt it’s the right thing to do, even though it’s insanely hard. Remember to be patient with yourself as you work your way back up to where you had been about your body image. You’re one of the coolest fucking people on the internet, QT, and there’s a lot of lurkers like me out there who think that, too. Signed, an AFAB person trying to figure out how to live in a world that treats us like this because of our shape.

This may have been the most engaging episode of Fear& that I’ve watched. Mike was a great guest and it was nice to see him be himself. Also getting more insight into how QT handled the Atrioc situation was so important. Overall great episode, and kudos to making it all free due to the sensitive and important topics you discussed.

[@chrisblessing45]

As a person that has been totally changed by mental health and addiction and still struggling with the loss of loved ones and my own struggles and seeing the dark dark things that come along with trauma, I like these conversations. It is really helpful.

[@liio415]

Definitely feel a lot for Mike. Been in and out of addiction from age 15 to now (26). The amount of dedication and willpower it takes to not only be clean but make something of yourself is at a level not many will ever know. Super inspiring. Great show keep it up 💯

[@brittnay279]

I basically have the same time frame as you and Im thirty now and I just want you to know it gets better and easier everyday. Quitting is the easy part, living a normal adult life is the hard part but it gets easier over time and eventually you just are a normal adult. I think that’s why I love my peaceful, boring, normal life and job more than most people…I fought for this boredom lmao

[@SniffenJ]

Man, I was not ready for Mike to be this awesome. Just finished the first half and I had to stop and comment how genuinely amazing of a person he seems. Did not expect that from a person in the Logansphere. Glad you had him on and I could hear him talk.

[@truej3763]

My heart goes out to QT and Mike on this one Thanks for having these difficult yet important conversations on this platform! ❤

[@user-bv7jc]

Mike is extremely well spoken and articulate. I just added his book to my Amazon cart. I'm excited to read it. Thanks for not paywalling this one. I feel like I have become more educated and aware of the true nature of society/the world than I was before I started watching. This is literally an education, and an important one. This is more valuable than "real" school. Too bad my parents et al. will never recognize that.

[@TheRealCptObvious1]

I’ve been a father for only a couple years at this point and I still relate everything to “what if” scenarios regarding my daughter’s future. Hearing Mike talk about the trauma him and his family went through with drugs made me super emotional while listening at work. I kept thinking about the decisions I make with her and the future impacts and how to keep her from going down a dark path in the future while letting her live her life. I really appreciate Mike’s story❤️❤️❤️

[@thomasandrewclifford]

I came into this with some assumptions after hearing Mike was known for a connection to the Paul brothers I will admit that. However he really does seem very educated and open about his experiences. I really liked what he had to say.
