US influencer IShowSpeed’s view of China makes him accidental ambassador

  • I'm not into videos, at all. My children are and i generally loathe the Youtuber cadence and personalities.

    That said, I put iShowSpeed's stream on last night after seeing it here a couple times and ended up watching for a solid hour and then some. The hong kong people he was visiting all adore him! And he does a really good job riding the line of being loud and brash and even a little annoying but still very entertaining.

    I saw him do some scrimmage basketball, visit a monument, hang out with a bunch of locals, try a bunch of local food. Sometimes you can tell he's not into the food and stuff but he was never really rude about it just moved on to other things.

    He was playfully teasing the children constantly and they loved it. you could tell he was genuinely grateful to have fans and have the opportunity to do what he was doing. He was really decent to all the locals and i never felt embarrassed that he was representing us. Well his 'i'm the fastest man alive' schtick is goofy but he didn't press it too much.

    At the end of the day, i subscribed and wish that fella well.
