Shane, the Empath, having a mental breakdown about not having even more money is the most moving moment in the history of cinema

The most obnoxious thing about Shane Dawson (obnoxious, not horrifying, that list is much longer) is his habit of depicting himself as poor while sitting in his mansion or riding around in his golf cart. He wants sympathy for being poor from the people he's made millions off of. I can't deal with the self-absorption of this man.

remember when shane dawson capitalized off of bobby burns in his "meeting my hater" series and effectively turned his audience against bobby who only ever critiqued shane's content and then allowed bobby to make videos on his channel for some reason and, because his audience hated bobby for being a "shane anti", they sent bobby massive amounts of hate which caused bobby to have several mental breakdowns and shane, in response, just kicked bobby off his channel and never talked to him again. real empath vibes

[@AmazingRebel23]

I wondered why the hell he would even get wrapped up in making a whole documentary about his hater when every other youtuber would make a single video about it and move on. It's not like he had serious allegations against Shane.

The most disgusting part of that “documentary” is when he starts screaming at the website employees on the phone. If he cared about that girl in the hospital getting the palette he should have sent her one, it’s all performance.

And if someone is in the hospital I'm pretty sure a makeup palette is probably not what they needed at the moment.

[@shoobamocha]

Oh yeah and when the designers pitched ideas for the look of the packaging he had a tantrum like a child and it was so embarrassing and immature I felt bad for the employees who had to deal with an incompetent client. From my memory, he just didn't like anything so he became overdramatic and pouted when the least he could do is give feedback. He truly thinks the world revolves around him and everyone should cater to his thoughts.

[@PanicattheDiscourse]

@@shoobamocha he actually redesigned the packaging of a professional packaging designer. He's every person at work I try to avoid.

[@theTweak0284]

The second he turned on the camera to record this documentary it was for performance. If his reason for any of the business decisions was solely for profit, he would not have recorded any of it as that was an excess expense. If he was doing it "for the good" of any entity, he would have saved the money that it cost to produce the documentary and spent it to actually benefit it. I despise people like him, they are leeches on our society and are allowed to thrive from peoples' insecurities and desire to project themselves onto some kind of "success"

[@happyholidays9071]

@@mayorlewispurpleshorts9693 it infuriates me too. I became aware that he was shit thankfully a year after he manipulated millions of new viewers including my entire grade at school into supporting his content for some reason. So glad I snapped out of his bullshit earlier than most and learned to call him out on this. My dad had to get three separate jobs to get health insurance that would pay for necessary rehab to help me function and learn how to adapt with my disability. My insurances literally were sending a clear message to a 15 year old who’s basic functionality was rapidly deteriorating and was on the rapid downwards spiral working her way to becoming bed bound by 16 (I still am at 19.) that my life was not worth it and my quality of life was worthless. It felt like I was getting the message time after time again that my functionality meant nothing all while getting abused medically in the hospital the rehab was at and their other programs. If we had had the money it wouldn’t have been so hard to get basic necessary healthcare. To get treatment to prevent ending up where I am now. To go out of state regardless being born ina city with “the best hospital in the world” and world class hospitals to only be abused by them. We could’ve gotten the genetic testing which we’ve been doing for a year and still aren’t even close to being done because of how much insurance refuses to approve anything necessary. We could’ve put me in the hospital im in now and gotten proper healthcare without the abuse and not end up with me reduced to existence. My parents could get their own individual genetic testing. They wouldn’t have to worry about their medication copays and our non existent income from both being now fully disabled. It still is insane even with a care coordinator a proper medical team who has my health and best interest in heart and a case worker all doing the most. We’re lucky to be on government insurance now but that’s still insane to work with getting basic needs fulfilled. At the time of this going down I was really starting to get turned off by Shane videos. they went from a mindless escape to something that actively angered me. He was riding in his gwagon with his 6 dollar coffee in a Gucci jumpsuit crying about being poor and I’d just get so angry. He’s obviously rich and is acting as if he’s not to appear relatable while in reality slapping all viewers in the face like it’s some joke. like he wasn’t a walking status symbol of privilege and I just wanted money to relieve my parents stress and to get my life back because losing my life at that time was starting to make others get heavily affected by it around me. Yet here’s him being beyond icky attitude wise to his friends and being rude to people around him in general and having this odd “humor” and then making the internet try and feel bad for his privileged rich white peers who fucked up and got a reasonably angry response from everyone all while demonizing already stigmatized disorders and glorifying other creators who have done beyond horrible things and some who are just straight up terrible humans (I think tana is the only series he’s done where she could be redeemable. She seems like she’s starting to grow up and actually grow and as long as she’s moving forward to get healthy mature and heal. I hope she continues to make baby steps.) . Shane just has made a career off of insulting his audience (even committing CSA to fans.) and playing the invalid sympathy card and I just don’t understand that man and hope he doesn’t have a chance at ever sliming his way back. Especially since he wants us to forget so he won’t have to apologize

[@Veste7182]

I'm not defending him nor saying he is poor, but just because you own expensive things doesn't mean you're good with money management. You can own a multi million dollar house filled with Gucci and expensive electronics and have a pretty empty bank account. That happened to glitterforever17, happens to NBA players all the time too. He's not poor, as in scraping pennies to get by. But he's also not Jeffree or Kylie level, and in the grand scheme of things, may not have *that* much money.

It wasn’t about just showing the factory and the workers, that in itself would have been just cool behind the scenes footage a la How It’s Made. It was the framing that the documentary gave it of it being a moment of Shane and Jeffery looking out on their empire like “look at all this work being done for YOU, you deserve this labor for your success.” That’s why I personally found it so gross and I assume why Joel did as well.

@@biggiesmartypants yes I agree with that. JS is a business-oriented person and for such a big company, 20 for cost of materials alone seems much too high, especially considering he seems to have his own dedicated factory/production line for his products. I'm sure Jeffree and his team knew how misleading it was to say, "all of the materials are high quality" followed by saying the palette cost 20 dollars to make. One would only assume that 20 was referring to cost of materials... yet considering cogs (cost of goods) and/or any other fees, the cost of materials could easily be as low as 10 dollars or less in reality.

I used to love watching Shanes conspiracy videos when I was younger, but now that you played that clip its actually really weird how so many of his conspiracies were about like pretty serious topics and eve though he always said they were 'neither confirmed nor denied', his delivery made them feel real.

[@ididntknowtheyhadwifiinhell]

i never watched anything by him besides the eugenia cooney video but holy shit that clip of him being like Baby's First Truther is so bizarre. that's such a clear "explaining a difficult thing to little kids" voice and expression

it was very much aimed at young kids with the stuff he talked abt and the way he delivered it...like he knew he was talking about dumb shit no adult would care to listen to, but that kids were more susceptible to believing it. harmless or not thats weird as fuck

I don't think "arrogance" even truly encapsulates it. It's just... too much. They're all a little too much on their own, so put 'em together, and you get a whole bunch of "Euagh..."

[@skaarphy5797]

I'm 49 years old and just recently found out about Shane Dawson, Logan Paul, and the likes, and how huge this whole influencer scene actually is. I might have heard some names in passing and about some of their 'scandals' but I never really knew anything about them. Maybe I'm just too old for this but I find them terrifying. Their vapidness, their ultra-materialism, their complete lack of shame or humbleness, too see that their whole point of existence is to make money off of kids, this whole feeling that they not only don't see that there might be something wrong with that but that they don't even seem to have a concept of right and wrong. Whatever it is, the fact that people like that have a say in how our children see the world, it's just terrifying.

[@MashaRistova]

I’m 33 and you sum up perfectly exactly how I feel. TikTok, “influencers,” everyone’s quest for fame and virality… It is so depressing to me. Social media/influencer culture is absolute brain rot for young, impressionable people

[@taranullius9221]

My alternative title: "why I left the makeup community forever and have never watched a single makeup video again even though I never watched large problematic creators in the first place but that's just emblematic of how deep the rot was to my soul and their very existence just sucked any last remnants of my joy in playing with makeup from me".

[@sarahb8147]

THIS. I love makeup still but I am completely done with the videos and the community. It is so toxic. And so is the industry and the businesses involved. Just disgusting. I’ll use the stuff I already have in my room on my own.

reminds me when The Social Network tried to sell this tragedy that Zuckerberg's friend missed out on so much money but if you google him you can easily see he's still a billionaire and doing quite well.

[@tylercallahan7514]

That wasn’t the point tho? It was that he was screwed over in ownership of a company he co-founded. They literally say at the end of the movie that they settled “for an undisclosed amount” and anyone with a brain can realize that it was for a lot of money

This "documentary" could have been good too, which is disappointing. He could have followed the product down the supply line and ACTUALLY show how big of a process it is. Film the original pitch, the finances, the design, the marketing plan, the photoshoots, the manufacturing, interview those women on the line that are pushed into the background behind them, discuss how much everyone on each of those levels is getting paid. That would be interesting!

He treats growing up poor like a whole ass personality trait. Honey, you are no longer in that situation, you're sitting in a golf cart on your multi million dollar property wearing Gucci slides. You're doing okay. You can move on and start forming your personality around another inconsequential trait that will get you sympathy.

[@coagulatedsalts4711]

it's only something worth mentioning if he actively did charity events or donated publicly to foundations for lower-income families. at least jefree gave people pandemic relief funds. I'm upper-middle class and i've seen far too many kids from lower-income families get new money and spend it all instead of saving and investing it. one girl i know was moaning about how she couldn't afford college and thought she was special "coming from a poor background" (which is so dumb because most of the kids i went to school with actually came from 3rd world countries and their parents had landed amazing jobs, myself included) and not even 10 minutes later she said that she wanted to buy a saddle for a horse at a horse-riding academy she went to. a saddle that cost 1-2 THOUSAND bucks for an animal that wasn't even hers, just some rich dude's horse who he lets ppl ride at a fancy school. i understand she wanted to be a vet but instead of spending her money and time at the stables and logging it in as work with animals, she just put in the minimum service hours required for graduation and left it at that. i don't like perpetuating a cycle that leaves families poor but she honestly deserves to be poor if it means that she learns how to properly manage her money. :((
