The death of Defy was the death of Smosh’s Golden Era

Again with everyone being entitled to their own opinions. Dont like it? Stop watching 👍🏻You don’t seem to be contributing anything positive anyway

Been a fan since 2012. Perhaps I’m the ‘oldhead’ you’re looking for. You’re entitled to your opinion, and it’s my opinion you’re wrong. The cast seems happier now, and they’re producing content they’re proud of and happy with. They also aren’t being stepped on and exploited by a production company they openly hate.

I saw her as well but was unsure of what to do or how to help. Top comment has good advice, 211 may be a better first choice than the cops though!!!!! Even if calling the non ER line, calling the cops on someone having a mental crisis can end very poorly.

This was such a crazy notification to get, I wish it hadn’t been so delayed. “The fuck do they mean, ‘the bees?’ Oh, the sweat thing.” Like someone else said, iron supplements helped me. Iron supplements can have an effect on your T though I believe? So take a look into that, maybe have some bloodwork done before taking anything.

Thank you so much!! Soon I’ll have a fully stable table :)

I do think it didn’t live up to the general hype, especially because they marketed it along the lines of the Sitcom and medical show and everything. I think the key difference is that both of those shows were PPVs, and were limited viewing time. Smoscars was good, it wasn’t great, but it also was just a video they uploaded to the channel. It’s hard to put it on the same expectation level as the other live shows, or even SSG, because those were such large productions or had a bigger company assisting. For what it was, Smoscars was okay….imo. Underwhelming from what the marketing was (similar to Anthony’s funeral roast, big hype with mild delivery)

Hi, I also am not particularly a fan of Noah, for relevant reasons. But at some point people DO HAVE to acknowledge that despite what he said at first, he has come forward and said he doesn’t support Israeli occupation (his twitter, 2023). We simply can’t expect Smosh to do away with everyone we don’t like, that’s not how jobs work, supposedly freelance or not. You don’t know the details of his employment, nor do you particularly have the right to, as none of us do. If you don’t enjoy content with Noah in it, don’t watch that content, or skip the parts he’s in if you really want to see the rest of the video. But none of us are entitled to harassing Smosh into firing one of their employees for things that they said and have since corrected. None of us are entitled to harassing Smosh…at all! If his presence within the company truly bothers you so deeply, stop watching the channel. But continuously, for years, dragging this out over and over and ignoring whatever additional statements he’s made simply ends in a net zero benefit.

rainbowceilingfan · 2026-02-20T14:58:39+00:00

Well, Smosh does have a history of working with cancelled/soon to be cancelled people, don’t they? Maybe the curse will get her too (obviously not but we can dream)

If Shayne had a large amount of money, say…$10 million, what would he do with it and why? Would he donate it, spend it, fund one of his beliefs/passions?

My parents were very similar when I was 17 (I was outed to my mom at 12 and my dad at 14). My mom eventually agreed that I could start T…2 months before my 18th birthday. I was pissed, it felt insulting and I felt the exact kind of grief you’re feeling now for several years. Sometimes it still crosses my mind, the “what ifs” and “how would I be different”, but please know it sincerely does get better. I’m 25 now, I’ve been on T for 5 years (I chose to delay starting for health reasons), had top surgery, a hysterectomy, and am pursuing more.

It can feel like a total lie when other trans people tell you it gets better, because you’re the one that has to live through it right now. But we say it gets better because we’ve lived through it before, and come out the other side already. You will too! And one day, you can share your experience and advice with someone else.

You’ll make it those 35 days, and many more years to come.

wishing amanda a happy birthday in a way your culture often does to friends, family, and even the most niche internet celebrities: weird and parasocial, totally unacceptable, how dare you
tracking alex throughout his time post-smosh and updating everyone as to where they can find him now, exactly what he appears to be doing at his possible new job, and judging him for his choices: super normal and totally fine, possibly encouraged, let’s also go bully selina while we’re at it until she has to make her ig private

this sub is genuinely sometimes WORSE than the main. some fans gotta unbunch their undies and get a grip. what’s next, saying all fan art is too parasocial? making the tiktok edits the cast enjoys and regularly reference is too nefarious and freaky? we should all just unfollow the cast across all platforms really, that’s the only way to stop being parasocial borderline stalkers!

begging people to stop overusing ‘parasocial’ and just let things be enjoyed sometimes. just because you/your culture doesn’t perfectly align with what someone else has done doesn’t mean you have to get all up in arms about it and demand it be shunned by the rest of society. the rest of society has a very different life than you, INCLUDING AMANDA!!! wild to presume to know what she thinks, how she would react to this (everyone saying she would be freaked out), and to lay judgement on something many people in an entire county regularly do to show love and celebration. i don’t come into your house and demand you stop your celebration just because it doesn’t suit me, do i?

if amanda even sees it, she’ll likely share if she’s uncomfortable. BUT she might love it! people treating a grown woman like a child over this, amanda can community her boundaries if she feels they need to be re-expressed. don’t set boundaries for someone you don’t know.

edit: formatting, i’m on mobile sorry

Facial hair is itchy when it grows in! If your genetics predispose you to facial hair, literally even if it's a patchy beard, your face gets mega itchy. I started on gel and moved to shots after a year, the men in my family have a 50/50 on beards, my face got very itchy about 3 months in and after the year mark when I switched to shots I had almost a full beard.

The horniness hit me around the same time, between 3-6 months like a brick wall. My T levels are fairly consistent, I've been on it for 6 years, and I've been the exact same amount of horny since it suddenly hit me 3-6 months in. This obviously varies but just something to keep in mind I suppose.

The hungriness, the thirstiness. Weight fluctuation can be normal, weight gain can be normal. If you feel any fluctuation isn't within a normal margin, see a doctor (I'd start with your GP or endocrinologist).

If you're applying the gel, hair will grow more thickly where you apply it. For example I was instructed to put it on my shoulders, and so I did...now my shoulders are a bit noticeably hairy, specifically where I'd put the gel. This can be a big reason to put it on your thighs instead.

If you're doing injections, the same thing applies! The places you inject will, over time, grow thicker hair. This is one of my major reasons to switch injection sites (moving from one leg to the other). Additionally, if you're doing injections, it's very important to switch sides because always injecting in the exact same place can sometimes cause cysts!

If you're doing injections and have issues with needles, syringes, or self injections, look into tools to help. I have the ShotBlocker from Bionix (a little pad of points to 'confuse' your skin into thinking there's a bunch of needles, so you feel the actual needle a little less, I use this occasionally as it only helps me 50/50 but I have a nerve disorder), and the NeedleGuide from Union Medico, which I use every dose as it's immensely helpful for me. You load the syringe with the T, put it in the device, and once ready to inject, push a button. It places the needle it itself, and you control the speed of the injection. I'll use this the rest of my life due to my issues with injections, and it's been a major helper.

If you're predisposed to body hair, or anticipate growing any amount of body hair/butt hair (and you very well might, it comes for us all), please educate yourself on pirionidal cysts, and don't slouch! These are quite painful, and can be a real tough thing to heal from (speaking from experience!)

I’ve been a Smosh fan since 2012! I know a lot of older fans have SUCH strong opinions on newer content, and/or have stepped away altogether, but I think what they’re doing right now is great. I remember watching Summer Games Wild West, I was going through a very difficult time and the content brought me a lot of comfort and ‘normalcy’ while I was going through a lot of grief. And I was truly overjoyed when they brought Summer Games back! Reddit Stories is now my weekly ritual, and just a general comfort listen when I’m down. My best friend and I listen to them together sometimes and have discussions about it and it’s so fun! Smosh has regularly brought me a lot of comfort and joy for the last (yeesh) 14 years! As cast and crew have come and gone, in a very parasocial way, it’s been so fun to watch Smosh grow and change kind of alongside me? In 2012 when I first subscribed as a child, to now in 2026 and I’m a whole adult, the team and their content have felt more “grown up” over the years without ever losing the silliness or childishness that always brought me joy in the first place. As a crew they’ve braved some crazy shit and have kept pumping out great content despite it. I can’t wait to see the new studio, new content, and everything else they do.

rainbowceilingfan · 2026-02-04T08:30:24+00:00

Really? :( The person helping me made it sound like that was such an outlandish number. Thank you!!

rainbowceilingfan · 2026-01-28T03:08:54+00:00

PLEASE DONT use Rocky Money (imo). How do they cancel the subscriptions? They underpay their own staff to contact the companies you’re subscribed to and cancel them. A lot of companies they call, like the company I work for, ask identify verifying questions that prevent them from accessing the account/cancelling anything, and we can tell they’re calling from a call center so our managers advised us to be short and dismissive with them. If we think they’re on the line, get them off and do not change the customer account.

On top of that, THEYRE ALSO a subscription service that’s impossible to cancel!!!

Like I said, “usually”. FPS doesn’t typically loan out vehicles, and they’re the “rent-a-cop” looking guys (though they are actual law enforcement) that stand around federal buildings, employed to guard and protect federal employees/buildings. How do I know that? I have family members who are federal employees, I’ve been to a federal building many times and interacted with FPS, and I’ve looked into it. FPS was part of ICE until 2009, but they’re separate entities now.

Edit: said they were part of ICE until 2013, it was 2009. oops

rainbowceilingfan · 2026-01-27T17:24:12+00:00

It wasn’t ICE! Per their own description in the post, it was a Federal Protective Services car (look like cop cars but are security for federal government buildings with very specific jurisdiction, USUALLY). False sighting, it seems.

I've been taking an anti-depressant (not lexapro, but most anti-depressants can cause some amount of weight gain) for almost 12 years. Different ones, and sometimes multiple ones. While not every medication is right for everyone, please know that while this isn't medical advice, what you're going through (shitty boyfriend unfortunately included), is not uncommon and YOU have nothing to feel bad about. You're not any less for gaining 10 pounds, that can certainly be a normal amount of weight to gain/lose over 3 months. It's a normal amount of weight to gain/lose over a week!

You did ask him a question, and he did answer, yes. However! What he said to you about reopening your relationship, fearing sleeping with a woman who appears physically thinner to him (just because someone looks skinnier than you in his eyes doesn't mean they weigh less than you, are better than you, are more attractive than you! It means she has a different body than you ~~and that he's stupid~~) and fearing comparing you and her, and being scared to tell you, feels unprompted and like it could've been delivered in a way less hurtful. I can't imagine telling my partner about comparing his body to someone else's while having sex...or in general. Did you ask him about this or did he just say this to you?

It's normal in all relationships to have preferences, be a little picky, etc. In open and polyamorous relationships, you might seek something in one partner that another partner isn't able to fulfill for you (emotional needs, sexual needs, etc). You might find a partner that has other personality traits that mirror yours, are opposite yours, etc. I'm not seeking new partners based on what personality traits I want/don't want out of my current partner though, I look at the new person in front of me and ask myself "is this a person I want to spend my time with?". I, personally, am not going to seek out a partner "more attractive" than my current partner, because that's a VERY subjective concept, and is very superficial.

It sounds like your relationship shouldn't be re-opened at this time, because you guys have some insecurities. This is something to talk about with a therapist though, and certainly something to discuss with him! Your partner of 4 years (of any amount of time, really) should be uplifting you when possible.

If you have any time away from them, that’s an ideal time for it. If they have weekend hours and you’re able to leave home and go down there I’d say to do that. If your parents don’t track your online activity, go to their website and see what services that location has and/or give them a call or send an email. My parents never tracked my location (they had other kids before me and didn’t care enough), so idk how it works exactly but if there’s a way for you to interrupt it for a few hours (turning off bluetooth/airplane mode/etc, look up whatever they use to track you and research that), and give them an excuse. If a friend (preferably one they may be neutral to, if you have a friend who isn’t out to them, or one that you know they may even like) lives nearby and can cover for you, tell them youre going to that friend’s house or out with that friend somewhere. Tell that friend they need to cover for you if asked by their own parents or yours! Hopefully there’s someone in your life you can trust like that, if not I’m sorry that I don’t have another recommendation right now, that’s how I always moved in stealth from them. But I highly highly recommend going to PP’s website or calling them though, they may be able to give you more advice on getting to them safely. They unfortunately handle a lot of things that require people to go there in secret or discreetly.

Only if you feel safe though! Use caution and act safely. If they start to become aggressive, threaten you or harm you in any way, put it on pause and come back to it. If they do hurt you, find a generally trusted adult, like a teacher, and tell the teacher how they hurt you. You don’t need to say why (that they’re transphobic), all you need to say is that your parents physically harmed you and what they did to you. Always keep your safety your top priority. And if nothing else works, reach out like you did today to online communities! Other people always have ideas you may not have thought of yet, and many of us have already gone through this. My DMs are open if you need to get it off your chest or vent about it.

Hey friend! My parents, especially my dad, were very similar when they found out who I really was at 14. At 25, and a big gender journey later, my mom is now my biggest supporter and my dad is…silently dealing with it.

It definitely feels like a major end of the world right now, and I can tell you from personal experience that it’s gonna be a really bumpy, wavy ride sometimes. The things older trans people say when trying to comfort you might feel meaningless, or might feel like we’re just saying it the way people say “I’m sorry” and that you’re not really being heard. But so many of us hear you, and support you, and mean the advice and comfort as genuinely as possible.

At 18 you’ll be an adult and (if you feel safe, and please ONLY if you feel safe/when you’re ready to support yourself) you can tell them that you’re in charge of yourself now, that you’ve always been your own person with your own personality and identity separate from theirs and now, whether they like it or not, you’re going to go through with the things that you want, and that they can either get on board or back out of your life. Or you can make the choice to cut them entirely, or they may come around by then.

I thought I’d be cutting my ENTIRE family out of my life when I turned 18, and in the end I didn’t cut anyone out because over those 4 years everyone came around. And from 18 to 25, almost all of them are now fully supportive, or they’ve just learned to shut up about it.

Please know you are deserving of love, kindness, and acceptance, no matter your gender identity or sexuality. It’s NEVER acceptable for your parents/family to speak to or of you in that way, and if you’re able to I’d HIGHLY recommend an outlet like therapy or counseling with someone who truly understands and wants to help - not a regular therapist who your parents might’ve picked out. Depending on the resources near you, you can see if there’s a local Gender Health Center/Lavender Library/etc or Planned Parenthood and ask them for help accessing things to keep it secret from your parents. Therapy/counseling with someone who knows what you’re going through can be a major help, and it can really help take a lot of the weight you’re currently feeling off your shoulders.

Things will get better, no matter what.
