I was trying to copy/paste something else, but my Command+C didn’t work and I ended up posting a 30-minute Vtuber burp comp into the groupchat… then panicked and realised I couldn’t delete.
I closed the app immediately (this was about 20 minutes ago) and I haven’t seen any of the replies. I am mortified and don’t know how I can make eye contact with any of them ever again. Maybe I can fake my own death and flee the country?
Had you not panicked you could been like hey guys look at this weird video i found, now honestly your best option is just to admit you into burps bro. Or never speak to them again. If they really your friends they we prob tease you about it but its not that big a deal.
You could have said, “yo dudes, check out this wild video a buddy of mine sent me”. That would have taken the heat off of you and pinned the blame on an imaginary party.
Tell them something like that you think vtubers are weird already and here’s something even weirder. People show strange stuff from the internet all the time, their first reaction is probably not gonna be that it’s a fetish (or that it can even be a fetish)
The closest I got to this scenario is when, I had one of my gassy friends post something in a secret FB group I created. It was her 1st time posting something to a group, so she got confused on how to post it to the group.
She called me asking did I did I like the burping video she posted. I said I checked the group and it wasn’t there. She told me she posted it on my wall/timeline. It had been up there for like an hr before she said something to me.
She told me (Well, u better remove it if u get easily embarrassed). I was wondering how many of my friends and family saw that within that one hr period because they were obnoxious and juicy sounding
Yeah you’re absolutely right and I had the same idea eventually— but by the time I thought of it 5 minutes had already passed and it was too late to play it off like that lol.
Luckily the older you get, the less you will care about stuff like that. At least it’s been like that for me. I know it’s hard sometimes but just shrug it off.
It’s honestly probably not that big a deal. I feel like a lot of us often overestimate how “weird” this is to people. Burping is just gross or goofy to most people but not something they put that much thought into. Just play it off as something that autoplayed after something you were watching. With how busted YouTube is these days, it’s a pretty decent get out of jail card as long as you’re normal about it.
I’m sorry this happened to you, I’m sure it was stressful and felt icky
I know you’ve already been telling yourself what you could’ve done so you don’t need any of us to beat a dead horse. I do echo what some others said above tho about it seeming like a bigger deal from the inside looking outward because of our bias of thinking of burping in a sexual context, when most others don’t. + like someone else said, if they’re really your friends they won’t judge you for it even if they do put two and two together. There’s something “weird” about everybody, most of us just don’t have enough courage or don’t feel a reason to own it openly.
if it helps you feel any better, I’m 80% sure that when I used to live with my mother, in a not-so-large apartment, I fell asleep watching burping videos. With no headphones on. Multiple times. Like a troglodyte.
The embarrassment is valid and I empathize and you really will be just fine. Two things are true at once!
Most likely if it’s a group of your rly close friends, they’re all gonna reply like, what the fuck is that? This gives you an opening to be like oh shit. Look at this fucking video that someone sent me isn’t this weird? And it SHOULD take the heat off you even if you reply hours later.
You’re lucky that it happened this way because I got doxxed a few times and they went into my Facebook and sent videos of me burping that I sent them to all random mfs on my friends lists because I thought they were either a woman/not someone who’s gonna dox me.
I’ve also accidentally sent a photo of my gut to a good friend of mine and was able to unsend it but I feel like he knows/probably saw it. He didn’t comment or anything because I really deleted it super fast, but I feel like he saw it.
Worst case scenario is that you just have to admit it and tbh a lot of people have a lot of unique fetishes and kinks that even if they brought it up in front of their friend, their friend wouldn’t stop being friends with them because of that so if they’re truly your friend, they’re not gonna really care.
There’s people out there who like shit/feces remember that lmfaoooo not yucking anyone’s yum but thank fucking god it’s not that bc that will get you nothing but negative reactions.
“This randomly popped in my feed. Wtf is a VTuber? (Message wasn’t sent earlier)”
2 (funny but not great):
Hit them with a 1 hour “VTuber doing something else” compilation. Burps are not the main subject anymore.
I know I’m too late anyway. I hope you weren’t forced to admit something you’re uncomfortable with just because of a mistake! Whichever way it ended up, know that there are always ways to convey that something isn’t that big of a deal, even if it came off as such initially.
Ok this is one of my fears…I have a lot of burp and big belly content on my phone. I’m terrified something fetish related will get posted to like my work group chat or something
I mean honestly. I would have just deleted the video and if anyone asks, I would have said
I was sharing funny videos with a friend and accidentally posted in the wrong chat
Or that you were sharing funny videos with a friend before and wanted to share something else but that was still in your clipboard from before. Then you could have posted a different video instead.
But either way. I don’t think it’s a big deal. I know we sometimes make it out to be one but most people don’t even register it’s a fetish. There was an edit war a few years ago where people kept removing the burping as a fetish section from the Wikipedia entry on burping because people wouldn’t believe it.
