So I used to love watching Shane Dawson. I thought he was the funniest person, not because of the racist (and yes they are racist) videos, I never saw them, (I was too young to be on YT at that time) but as I got older (probably like 11) I realised that what he was doing was so fucking weird. His videos with younger children, the animal ones, the Willow Smith video. All so fucking wrong.
When I look at a photo or see a video of him, regardless of its age, it makes me feel sick. I’m a white woman, it isn’t my place to say I forgive him for his black face videos and racist comments or say I’m offended by them, but I do hate him for it. My mental health is shit, always has been, but I have never in my life felt like it was acceptable to do that sort of shit. He’s a grown ass man. How the fuck are some people still supporting him? Because he said he’s not doing well mentally? Do you know anyone else who’s anxiety has caused them to use racist slurs? I sure as fuck don’t. It isn’t okay to use your mental health as a reason for being a racist.
It might’ve been seen as “dark humour” back in the day but surely he realised what the fuck he was doing was WRONG. We get taught about racism, about slavery, about every single thing that has happened in the past (AND IS STILL HAPPENING TODAY) so why the fuck did he carry on making those videos? And the weird ones with that little girl? And the podcasts where he admits to looking at ch*ld p*rn. There’s being edgy and then there’s just being a complete shit hole of a human. As an old fan of his, and I truly was, I am disgusted at the fact some people are saying he’s changed. He hasn’t, he’s just gotten better at hiding it. Look how he reacted to Tati’s video saying she’s using her past for manipulation. People like him will never change. Just like Jeffree. If I took a shot for every time Shane said he’s changed, it’s his mental healths fault, or it was a joke, I’d have alcohol poisoning in a second. And I’d be dead if I had a shot for every time Jeffree said he’d never get involved in drama again.
Anywayyyy if you like to watch conspiracy/makeup videos, there are plenty of people on YT who make them. If you love makeup, support people who aren’t racist (not to mention half the price for better products anyway)
