"Use the opportunity to learn. Let's grow together" - Ludwig responds to viewers who seemingly make fun of people's appearances

Ludwig was watching a video titled Gen-Z Singles Reject Each Other on the Button by Cut when he noticed some fans making comments about one of the contestants in the video.

He paused the video and addressed the community, saying:

"Okay, I was waiting for it. (a viewer's name), you stupid son of a b***h! Don't just say forehead in all caps! Like, who are you as a human right now? You watched this, and you thought like, everybody else thought that maybe that specific hairstyle presents the forehead in a way, that's like, a little bit aggressive. But as a human, you have to realize that and go, 'Forehead!'"

The Mogul Money Live host stated that viewers needed to keep some of their thoughts to themselves:

"Hey, it's okay to be cringe here. I'm just worried if you keep expressing your cringe-ness here, you're going to do it in the real world. Okay? So, use the opportunity to learn. All right? Let's grow together here. Okay?"

Ludwig described the "different levels" of understanding the situation, the first two of which were:

"You also got to know. Here, think this. Level one is forehead. Level two is, 'Oh my gosh, I think that maybe her forehead looks large, so that's probably an insecurity point for her because children don't have a filter. She's probably suffered a lot of attacks on her forehead size throughout the years, and she is just probably trying to own that and move past that.'"

The conversation on the topic concluded with the content creator adding:

"So then level three is, 'I will bring it up to be nice so that she can progress through life without any more of that suffering because I'm an adult now."
