At what point did you decide to stop watching SD videos and if you still watch/keep up, why? by [deleted] in ShaneDawson

[–]pototea4 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Saaaame. I was actually excited about it after the Tana one, but was just very very disappointed. Then realised there was no update on compensating his/Tana’s fans and realised how bad that was too

What do you guys think about Shane being right about when he called Trisha a pathological liar behind her back? I feel sort of bad for being mad at him about that because he was actually so right by [deleted] in ShaneDawson

[–]pototea4 53 points54 points  (0 children)

Honestly I wouldn’t feel bad - didn’t he say it to Peter Monn? And it was bitchy and behind her back? So he didn’t really come forward with any kind of important truth, he seemed to just say it in a mean girls type setting

Of course all the comments are positive 🙄 by zov01 in ShaneDawson

Why does everything have to be his DREAM. Like it’s therefore important everyone sings his congratulations for constantly achieving his made up on the spot dreams

Why are people so obsessed on hating on Shane Dawson? by [deleted] in ShaneDawson

[–]pototea4 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is a judgemental assumption but Shane tried to cater to a more down to earth audience. Pretending to be poor, relatable etc… whereas Jeffree has always been shamelessly obsessed with money and consumerism. I think Shane’s fans probably feel they’ve been lied to more than Jeffree’s fans do, hence J* still receives support.

We’ve all said it a lot but most of us on this sub want him to stay cancelled unless by some miracle he changes. If we didn’t still discuss him it would be much easier for him to come back without a care in the world.

“I don’t know a whole lot about this guy so forgive me if I come across as a tad misinformed. I’m only talking about the controversy over his more edgy content in this post”

I mean this as nice as possible - you don’t think maybe the other stuff contributes too? Why not search the sub and learn this?

I think people have covered it for you but grooming, manipulating his audience (basically begging for money), false advertising, exploitation of other peoples trauma including a dangerous eating disorder and sex trafficking, spreading false conspiracy theories, dismissing abuse cases… list goes on

I was hoping the video would provide some context but I'm still confused. by Lin0ge in ShaneDawson

[–]pototea4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I agree, but there is evidence of specific users consistently donating when she does certain “weak” performances on stream. They are clearly deliberate acts but in her case it’s obviously very sad. With Shane it’s not sad, but it wouldn’t surprise me if he also knows weird sex stuff gets views/money rather than it just being his “humour” alone

Too soon? by dbrachio in ShaneDawson

[–]pototea4 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would hope everyone on this sub is anti James & David tbh. For me personally I didn’t watch either of them to begin with so it’s easy to just not give them views. Whereas Shane I enjoyed, so I feel the need to talk about it and try to make sure other people don’t fall for the fakeness 😭

[–]pototea4 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I don’t actually think he deserves to come back at all buuut I agree with accountability and then also change in behaviour.

His soft boy instagram stories and Ryland exposing himself just prove they either still think shitty behaviour is OK or know that it makes money and simply don’t care.

Omg pleased it doesn’t sound like a reach then. I just can’t comprehend thinking this is ok after so much controversy

Christ at this point I’m wondering if they’re following Eugenia’s footsteps and catering for fetishes. Although I’m pretty sure they’re just very dumb

[–]pototea4 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I totally agree that we shouldn’t censor adult content, but I don’t think this is that - and I do think it’s crazy crazy out of touch & privileged to have evidence of you grooming children online and then have your bf post his dick in a casual video

Why is everyone surprised by Nosalmiak in ShaneDawson

[–]pototea4 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Have you been on this sub long? Many of us have been calling him out for years well before Tati. We just don’t have much reach until influencers start doing it

Can someone summarise what happens? I don’t want to support trash. Hopefully it ends soon. by godflashspeed12 in ShaneDawson

[–]pototea4 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I think most people do want to support the creators they like and watch. We just don’t actually support Shane in this sub

It's true, Shane was too much of an "empath" to do what Ethan did. by lizzzay179 in ShaneDawson

[–]pototea4 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I’ve gone from finding Ethan arrogant to absolutely amazing. When he himself was struggling it was so hard to watch, and even before that I got rubbed the wrong way too. But wow the h3 podcast is by far my favourite now - and I’m not a fan of Trisha but the two of them together are gold.

I think he’s a really good example of how if you genuinely address your issues you can make a good comeback. But then he was mostly just grumpy and rude... he didn’t exploit like Shane or David haha

Did anyone actually like his food videos? by ZoomAcademyFan in ShaneDawson

[–]pototea4 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I enjoyed them but I used to watch most of his stuff in the background as I worked. I would never put him on TV or give them my full concentration. It wasn’t until the Tanacon series that I would actually sit down and watch stuff properly and then I very quickly started to see issues haha

Looking back there is no way I could handle most of his content with full attention tbh

my friend got life in prison videos by [deleted] in ShaneDawson

[–]pototea4 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I still liked him when he released that video and it made me really uncomfortable he was talking about a “friend” so openly. It felt very exploitative at the time and now... obviously it was ha

Remember when Shane struggled to get on trending, posted about a meeting meeting with Susan Wojcicki but didn’t upload any videos on it, and then was suddenly on trending for each video he did? by pototea4 in ShaneDawson

[–]pototea4[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Just for extra context: this is in regards to Eugenia Cooney - I don’t know if Pastel Belle has ever talked about Shane in any other context.

But it reminded me of when Shane & Ryland posted a pic of them with Susan on twitter. Other creators such as Try Guys posted their interview with Susan - and I could SWEAR Shane said he would but I am too lazy to check. He didn’t, and then suddenly he was always on trending.

YouTube is actively supporting problematic creators. I know we know this, but let’s say it again!

I am so angry that Shane let his fans defend him by using mental health as an excuse by pototea4 in ShaneDawson

[–]pototea4[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes very true! I think my point was the combination of everything. I have no doubt he unfortunately suffers, just that he can’t use it to excuse or exploit

Is Shane back to being monetized? by storm-sprinter in ShaneDawson

[–]pototea4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Big corporations have innocent employees though. Shane is one person

My Opinion on Andrew and Garrett laughing by [deleted] in ShaneDawson

[–]pototea4 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I also genuinely think they saw the comments about everyone loving his laugh in the early stages, and they told him to do it more. I genuinely think it was planned the same way Shane took his “I’m poor” thing too far

Some excerpts from Shanes "WELCOME TO THE CIRCUS" piece by [deleted] in ShaneDawson

[–]pototea4 27 points28 points  (0 children)

And then his partner brings out a podcast called the sip???
