If Jenna Marbles can make the decision to step away from YouTube, possibly forever, on her own, why can’t Shane Dawson? Jenna was accused of blackface because she had a shitty 2011 fake tan (she always looked like that back then) and she apologized saying that while that wasn’t her intention, it still hurt people and she’s sorry; Shane did legit blackface and talked about it once years ago, but refuses to genuinely acknowledge the danger of his actions. I started watching both Shane and Jenna when I was 11 or 12 and their actions didn’t phase me at the time because I was just a dumb kid. The difference between the two of them is that Jenna has legitimately changed as a person/content creator, but Shane is still associating with some of YouTube’s worst people and trying to defend their actions, which makes it very apparent he still holds those beliefs as well. I’m not really gonna touch on the pedophillia stuff because that’s still new info to me (I had never seen most of the clips coming out now) but I will say I think it’s funny Shane and Greg/James (whatever the fuck his name is) don’t get along because they’re very similar. Anxiety and depression will NEVER excuse racist/pedophillic actions. With all the money Shane’s made over the last decade, he can obviously pay for therapy and not from that pathetic Katie girl.
