Hey so I usually don't indulge in any drama that is happening anywhere usually just trying to wait it out. But to everyone who watches DanPlan on youtube and knows the current situation:
In the span of three days danplan lost 70K subscribes and yes from what Stephen said Daniel did a shitty thing. But Stephen also said to not attack either Daniel or DanPlan and wait for Dan's explanation before deciding anything and I've seen some really garbage comments going exactly against what Stephen said.
We still have to wait for Dan's side of the story and yes some people say that he is not providing an answer here and just avoiding the topic but honestly do you really think that's the case? That he is consciously avoiding it?
I may be wrong but Dan is probably currently looking at the outcomes of his actions and he probably has to deal with a lot more. For one he lost a friendship they had since god damn middle school and people suddenly unsubscribing and sending fuckin death threats? (What the hell guys?) There is a lot more to DanPlan than Daniel and Stephen. There is Jay, Hosuh, Ann and whole bunch of animators they all have to first resolve things between eachother before they do anything. It's not just Daniel and Stephen it's everyone who has to deal with it and If you want to do anything about this than go to Stephen's channel, give him some support and don't be a dick to anyone because you are not helping anyone by being an asshole AND especially you are not helping Stephen. Everyone who wrote anything mean to Dan just pours gasoline to the fuckin flame.
Also I doubt Dan even realized that this will be the outcome of what he said to Stephen. I don't think it was something he really thought about until Stephen actually left. Probably taking the issue at hand less seriously than Stephen did and maybe even thinking it'll resolve itself.
Just let them work it out between eachother and be patient.
As much as this whole situation saddens me I'm also glad that this whole thing is not some clickbaity drama that we often see. I don't want Daniel to post some insincere apologies video like many other youtubers before him did on many other occasion. People who are blowing this out are the fans while for now both sides are really trying to keep it civil and private. Some of you guys have gone to war before there even was one.
Also also don't hope for Stephen coming back to DanPlan. When he posted a video about him quitting it was already nearly impossible he would come back and now after what happened to the channel and what some fans did IT IS impossible. It is a lost cause.
Chill, you are not gonna change anything all that you can do now is not make it harder for them.
So I repeat: don't be a dick.
