Carryminati's Fearless Roast

With over 70 million views on YouTube and about to become the most viewed non-musical video of India, Carryminati’s new video was taken down by YouTube as it went against it’s community guidelines. Many people reported the video as it took jibes at the queer community under the garb of critiquing TikTokers by using terms such as meetha, and chhakka. This didn’t go well with the queer community. Carryminati has about 17 million fans on YouTube which just increased with the roast video which he made on TIK TOK star Amir Siddiqui.

Queer Rights Activist, Rishi Raj Vyas has been vocal about this issue of the spread of homophobia and the impact on queer life. “Now I really don’t understand how people find this funny because this is not only dehumanising but degrading the value of a queer person’s life. Clearly, these creators don’t understand the high rates of suicide which prevail amongst the queer community or the high rates of self-harm and self-destructive tendencies. That’s why they come out with such derogatory language and derogatory terms for queer people. These content creators don’t realise that they have a certain degree of responsibility towards society. When they say such queerphobic things or when they say such queerphobic language to people who actually idolise them, they pick up such language and use it to bully other queer people.” stated Rishi Vyas.

Carryminati’s video was about to touch a milestone but because of his own inappropriate acts and dialogues he lost the chance of owning a record to his name. Out with another video, Carryminati mentioned the fact that he is totally unhappy with the way his video was pulled down by YouTube. He took the help of Twitter to express his feelings about the abolition of the video. He said about how he dreamt of entertaining people with the help of his videos since he was 10. He later concluded by thanking his fans for standing with him.

The whole scenario tells us a very small thing, never make anyone’s fun to gain success. Success comes with your own efforts, not by putting someone down.
