YouTuber James Charles slammed for foul-mouthed rant about design aid for visually-impaired pedestrians
In a now-deleted video, the 26-year-old make-up artist and YouTube star launched into a foul-mouthed rant about the ground surface indicators where he repeatedly complained about having to roll his suitcase or grocery cart over them.
'Whatever f**king bump, s**t f**king stupid a** things they put outside grocery stores and airports,' James began.
'Like what is the purpose of them, can someone genuinely explain it to me if you were like a f**king civil engineer.
'Why on god's green earth have I just spent $200 on f**king groceries but I want to roll them over those f**king bumps and give my entire cart a seizure.'
After impersonating his carton of eggs going over the bumps, a visibly frustrated James then quipped: 'Why? What the f**k. Literally, what the f**k.'
He continued: 'When you go to the airport, why have I got to roll my luggage over that s**t and have everything jumping around inside?
'It's having a seizure. Stop. It doesn't make any sense to me. What is the point? What is the point of those f**king bumps other than making everyone's life miserable.
'Can somebody tell me?'
Luckily for James, social media users wasted no time in attempting to educate him on truncated domes, which are ground surface indicators designed to help those who are blind or visually impaired.
Also known as detectable warnings or tactile paving, these raised surfaces create a distinctive pattern that can be felt underfoot or with a cane, alerting pedestrians to changes in surface level or potential hazards such as street crossings.
While James has since deleted his rant-fueled video, social media users have been left furious by his lack of knowledge and his 'privilege.'
Taking to Reddit, one slammed: 'I didn't know I could hate him more, but here we go. I think it's great the city implemented those for the visually impaired.
'I will never understand his anger. When my city decided to put that in the subway, I thought it was a great safety idea that benefits everyone.'
'His Main Character Syndrome prevents him from recognizing that sometimes things that happen around him concern other people,' another commented.
A third continued: 'He's frothing at the mouth, big mad because... the bumps jostle his cart around a little bit? Can you imagine having this kind of energy for such an "issue"? Cause f**k man, there's more things to spend your time on.'
'Did he really just think they were put there for fun?' asked a fourth.
Agreeing, another said: 'This! Even if you didn't know the exact reason, they're obviously there for a f**king purpose.
'These people really forget they're not the only ones existing on earth.'
A sixth added: 'There are a shocking number of people who are so privileged and self-centered that they literally don't realize disabled people go out in the world and might need different things than they do.
'I would say they don't realize that disabled people even exist, but I think on some level they must and just assume that they have to stay inside and away from the public?'

Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THE husband of YouTuber and animal rescue enthusiast Mikayla Raines struggled to hold back tears as he shared a montage of unseen moments featuring his late wife. Mikayla, the founder of SaveFox Rescue, died by suicide last month at the age of 29. 4 Mikayla Raines husband, Ethan, thanked fans for their well-wishes following his wife's death Credit: Instagram 4 Mikayla, 29, died by suicide Credit: Instagram She died in Faribault, Minnesota, on June 20 and left behind devastated husband Ethan, and their daughter, Freya. In a YouTube video uploaded July 27, Ethan thanked fans for their support in what he described as the 'hardest time' for everyone at the animal rescue organization. The video was also shared on the SaveaFox Rescue Instagram page, with the caption describing Mikayla as someone who was "purely glowing and one in a trillion." "I hope you can enjoy seeing Mikayla in some of these candid clips. She truly was a radiant positive energy," her family's post said. "A pure glowing individual; one in a trillion. A piece of me that I'll never get back." Ethan's voice cracked and he struggled to hold back tears as he thanked people for their letters and flowers following Mikayla's death. 'I know that you all saw her as a hero to the animals but she was a lot more than that,' he said. 'She wasn't just an animal rescuer, she was an advocate and an educator and a daughter and a sister and a mother - a mother not just to Freya but she was a surrogate as well. 'She was an artist and she was a really great singer and she was a lot of things that most people didn't get to see.' Through tears, Ethan said the memorial montage was 'hard to watch,' but said it's worth watching. YouTube fox rescue star Mikayla Raines dies by suicide aged 29 as tearful husband Ethan blasts online bullying campaign In the 20-minute montage, Mikayla was seen stroking tortoises and beaming at home. The clip featured snapshots from Christmas celebrations and days at the theme park. In one clip, Mikayla was seen balancing on the back of the horse with her arms raised as it galloped in an open field. The montage also featured tender moments Mikayla spent with her daughter in the park and gym. Footage captured Mikayla feeding animals and cuddling foxes. Ethan said he will never recover from Mikayla's death. 'But, I'm so glad we all were gifted these many years with her,' he wrote online. Ethan previously spoke about how he felt broken after his wife's death. He compared it to a loss that was 'unimaginable' and described Mikayla as 'the most amazing and inspiring individual.' She was an artist and she was a really great singer and she was a lot of things that most people didn't get to see Mikayla Raines' husband Ethan spent 15 minutes trying to revive Mikayla before paramedics arrived on the scene. He said Freya was left 'heartbroken' by her mom's death. Ethan recalled how his wife had been subject to internet trolls before her death and spoke about the impact it had. "[Mikayla] felt as if the entire world had turned against her,' he said. Mikayla's passion for wildlife stemmed from a young age. On her website, she revealed her mother was a rehabilitator, and she raised her first baby fox at 15. She studied in a veterinary technician program while at college. A local media report from 2016 described Mikayla as a "fox whisperer." "I think I can kind of relate to them: They're shy in crowds, it takes them awhile to get used to strangers,' she told The St. Paul Pioneer Press. But, she founded the SaveaFox rescue center in 2017 and revealed that the organization had saved around 150 foxes from death. The SaveaFox YouTube page has almost 2.5 million subscribers. 4 A tender moment captured Mikayla stroking a fox while another was on her shoulders Credit: YouTube 4 She was an avid wildlife enthusiast Credit: Instagram / @saveafox_rescue If you or someone you know is affected by any of the issues raised in this story, call or text the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline at 988, chat on or text Crisis Text Line at 741741.

Hollywood nepo baby is the spitting image of her heartthrob dad... but do you know who she is?
She's the daughter of one of Hollywood's most famous heartthrobs, and fans can't get over just how much she looks like him. Ella Bleu Travolta, 25, is the only daughter of Grease and Pulp Fiction star John Travolta, and her resemblance to her famous father has only grown more striking with age. From her piercing blue eyes to that signature Travolta smile, Ella is the spitting image of John during his leading man heyday. But Ella isn't just another celebrity nepo child riding on her parents' fame. She's carving out a career of her own in music, film and fashion. Born in April 2000 to John and the late actress Kelly Preston, Ella grew up in the spotlight alongside older brother Jett and younger brother Benjamin. Tragically, Jett passed away in 2009 following a seizure during a family holiday in the Bahamas. Ella started acting when she was just a kid, and she made her big screen debut in 2009's Old Dogs, starring opposite both her parents. She later appeared in The Poison Rose in 2019 and recently wrapped filming Get Lost, a modern-day reimagining of Alice in Wonderland. However, it's music where she seems to have really found her niche. In 2022, she released her debut single Dizzy, followed by tracks No Thank You and Little Bird. The latter song is a moving tribute to her mother, who passed away in 2020 after battling breast cancer. 'Little Bird is about holding onto those pure relationships that you have with people that you lost and really just listening to yourself and staying true to that relationship with that person,' Ella told People. 'It's sort of the viewpoint of a mama bird talking to a baby bird and just not letting any other interference get in between it, because your true instincts were there all along.' She continued: 'It had been a couple years, obviously, since my mom's passing, so I could look at the whole situation and take a step back from it and see what I wanted to communicate on it and what I wanted to communicate to her and what I was feeling in general.' She's also made waves in the fashion world, landing the cover of Hunger Magazine in 2024, wearing a vintage Chanel look previously worn by Taylor Swift at a Kansas City Chiefs game, per Page Six. Since then, Ella has been spotted in front rows at fashion week in Madrid and Milan, appearing alongside European royalty like Princess Diana's niece, Lady Kitty Spencer, and Princess Alexandra of Hanover, per Hola. Ella remains close with her dad as John often shares sweet birthday tributes and throwback videos with her on social media. In a recent birthday post, he called his daughter 'gracious, generous, funny, beautiful, kind, and deeply talented.' The actor also loves to celebrate Ella's accomplishments and often posts about her magazine covers and song releases.
