[@cupkate243]

The reason I instantly loved Dan's channel was because of how sarcastic he was because I could relate to that so much.

[@iminlovewithmyownsinsnottr2685]

He's too cute.

[@planetpanda9219]

Kiley M. He did it because he read the comment and knew that the phandom would go crazy if he said that about dan--it's very suggestive and shippers are desperate

[@sophhh05]

[@garfield5316]

Planet Panda ink offense but I think you're over thinking this

[@SunnieCookie]

One thing that confuses me about the Phandom is that while almost everybody seems to agree that Phil needs to be shielded from anything slightly negative, at the same time people assume that "Dan can handle it". Am I the only one?

[@SunnieCookie]

***** I think nobody should send them or anybody else hate in the first place :'D But I also think (unpopular opinion time >_> xD) that they are grown men who are living on their own and paying their taxes XD And while I agree with complimenting them and stuff I also think that the Phandom tends to Baby them (especially Phil) quiet a lot. I know it's meant well but I don't think they "need" it, you know what I mean? :'D (But maybe that's just me because I'm slightly older than most people in the Phandom x''D)

[@lewlavabra6811]

***** I agree with you but it's just somehow like maternal instinct y'know ? Idk that's just how I feel when I read mean comments on their videos, I guess I'm so attached to them, I feel like the hate is directed towards me... (which may be stupid but oh well) ps : how old are you ? i'm just curious bc i'm 19 and i already feel like part of the "elders" of the phandom...

[@ashtheroarus]

I actually think Phil handles hate significantly better than Dan does, at least in the not taking stuff personally way. At the same time, insulting Phil feels like kicking a puppy, because of his youtube persona. I wish people would take it easier on Dan though :[ I feel like Dan is the one more likely to be hurt, so when people find it easier to attempt being mean to him...well it's not cool. Granted they're adults, but that doesn't mean they're impermeable to hate.

[@ProfessionalGreifer]

I guess cause Phil is so cute, people feel protective over him. I sometimes get that way over my fave musicians. I'll see a cute pic of them and I'll be like "My baby! My child! Must protect at all costs!" Even though they're all way older than me.

[@MusiicRoolz]

With dan it's like being rude your best friend I guess. He gets the sarcasm/that its a joke more than phil. But yes I think dan is more likely to be the insecure one and sometimes people need to remember that he is only human

[@kajawojtkowska6306]

remember when a fan said they dont like phil and dan told them they dont like them

[@KA-ji3zo]

+Kaja Wojtkowska WHEN WHERE WHO

[@kajawojtkowska6306]

+Tom Hawkes at tatinof a fan asked dan if she could have a photo with him and her friend told her to take one with phil too but she said "no i dont like phil" so dan said "well i don't like you"

Phil looked so sad and uncomfortable reading those but they weren't even about him. They were about dan. You could see how bad he felt and he is such a good person. Take him sharing two of his awards with dan. He is the sweetest thing ever oml.

[@opalescent_rose_petals4203]

+Kyra van Balen O.o ouch... To real, bro... To real... (Or actually a really important matter, I just... Ouch.

[@daph3701]

I hope they just know that we love them so much no matter what

[@1Dfangirl97]

This is my opinion but I feel the reason that people treat Phil a this precious little angel while assuming that Dan can handle the hate is because puts out a more sarcastic, confident vibe than Phil although it hasn't always been that way, and it also has to do with the fact that in the Phandom sexualizes Dan while acting like Phil is 3. Something that really bothers me is that alot of their fans have are mean to Dan as a joke, I've seen it all over twitter, they tweet really mean things about him and agree with hate but when someone says something remotely mean about Phil they jump on the defensive.

[@weirdoweirdo3523]

As Dan said, a lot of the hate tweeted to Dan is a joke, we have a weird sense of humour (and Dan understands that), but I think they should be treated equally because they're older than quite a lot of their fans and don't need to be babied

[@awesomeariana3208]

Nobody hates phil And people and in denial about hating DAN

[@emilywright1390]

I honestly don't see how you can hate other of them! They are both epic and I ship Phan very much! (I'm putting this in all my comments btw don't hate but #stopdaddy2015)

[@sourlemoncake]

It might sound weird but I think Dan was (?) the "depressive one" and he is less likely to take hate than "precious" Phil, who I think would be pretty chill about it. Dan just hides behind a thick curtain of irony and sarcasm to hide his true feelings.

[@1Dfangirl97]

sourlemoncake thats actually really true, Dan up until rather recently has had a history of really low self esteem, and he still has really bad anxiety (existential crises) but people seem to forget about that and just buy into his sarcastic façade and assume Phil is super vulnerable because he acts childish when actually he's always been pretty confident.

[@carly_0516]

[@saffysaffyrocks]

Pretty sure almost 100% of these are from the phandom lmao

[@RomanZolanski123]

I think the phandom is more protective of Phil bc he's constantly left out of things/ has like half the number of subscribers than Dan/ always has people saying that he's ugly or boring in comparison to Dan. So I sort of get it. But we should protect them equally while also keeping in mind that they are 24/28 years old and know by now how to handle random hate on the Internet.

[@reesoprano]

thank you. that was my thought exactly

[@anyahSwho701]

+Roman Zolanski Even though Phil doesn't have as many subscribers, have you ever really met anyone who only knew Dan? When you see people talk about them its always "Dan and Phil," or "Phan," (at least that's what I see) because they aren't one without the other. Hell, it's never "Danosaurs," or "Philions," anymore, its the Phandom. Subscriber count seems like a fairly irrelevant number, I think.

[@its.kaylax_]

People who subscribed to Dan they need to realize that without Phil, Dan wouldn't be on KZbin.

[@josiemurs]

i love the fact that dan had to explain about his relationship with us, like i'm pretty sure 99% of those tweets were just sarcasm because that's just how it works with us guys and i like that tbh

[@lianamark2484]

Me too!! especially when others are confused by it. It how we show our love lol 😄

[@hellohandhold]

It's true, we are a bunch of sarcastic assholes haha. Still, Dan does get quite a bit of hate and we shouldn't dismiss that as loving riffs.

[@anastasialefebvre5842]

I don't think it's "precious" or "cute" that everyone in the comments is trying to point out how it's awful to send mean tweets to Phil but it's okay to send them to Dan because he seem to laugh them off and don't take them too seriously. Hate is hate. And I LOVE the message of this video, well done guys!

[@manusigl]

It is in no way okay that people send Dan hate, and I think we're all quite upset about that. I think the main reason why people are this protective of Phil is that his internet persona is quite bubbly and innocent and thus 'less resilient; less likely to fight back'.

[@river1216]

good thing they didn't have Dan read Phil's hate. Dan would have gone into full Momma Bear Defense Mode

[@starlightsall]

The thought of Dan reading hate comments concerns me more than Phil reading hate comments to be honest. At first glance Dan looks like the cool sarcastic guy who can't give two shits, but in his videos you can see how he actually cares about things and has insecurities too and can really take harsh criticism to heart. I don't want Phil to be subjected to such negativity, but when it comes to it I think he'd be more confident and generally handle it better than Dan.

[@cassidygreen4239]

True. He literally has anbentire video dedicated to him caring too much

[@AmyAberrant]

So the BBC printed off a tweet saying "Dan is so hot he gives me sunstroke" and gave it specifically to Phil to read to him! They ship it soo much! It's adorable. And when Phil realised what was going on he was too shy and made Dan read it himself asdfghjkl so cute. :)

[@matildaorrbon854]

[@errflow]

+DerpyHoovesFreak The message indicated that Sweden was misspelled, and he admitted it was misspelled, then immediately proceeded to call it a "typo", which is short for "typographical error" which is distinctly unique from a spelling error. A spelling error may not be a typo, but a typo is a form of spelling error. One is an accident, and one is incompetence. Why do you help perpetuate this false equivalency? Are you a key figure in an ongoing government charade, the plot to conceal the truth about the existence of extraterrestrials? Is this a global conspiracy, with key players in the highest levels of power, that reaches down into the lives of every man, woman, and child on this planet? If so, of course, no one will *beleive* you.

I HATE DAN SO FUCKING MUCH

[@Hiparu]

I am so glad that Dan didn't respond in a negative way or cursed back to the people, he just laughed and explained his side or went the funny route and thanked them. It's a nice way to treat internet negativity, and if that doesn't work then just do as they said after and block the person. This video was fun AND educational!

[@annamangnus5970]

#NicerInternet haha :)

[@tori373]

But on the inside he was hurting sweet little Dan out on his confidence and faced the haterz

[@mercedesconde3044]

So I want to say a few things (I got some of them clearer from reading other comments). A) I'm in love with this whole anti-bullying campaign Dan is organising. And I mean truly into it. I can't say I've ever gotten a hateful comment before, but I've grown tired of watching amazing people who I'm a fan of being hated on with poor excuses. There's NO REASON TO BE RUDE!!! It's ABSOLUTELY fine if you don't like someone's kind of work or an specific video, but you can either keep the opinion to yourselve or just comment something like "Hey, I didn't like the video/I don't like your channel, but I can see you make a lot of people happy. Keep making this stuff!". It's not hard to be nice to people. And remember, EVERYONE eventually gets to the hateful part of their comments, so don't go thinking "I'm just gonna say this really hurtful thing cause I'm sure they won't read it". Trust me. They do. So go #NicerInternet !! Since the radio takeover happened, I've red TONS of messages and posts full of love. KEEP GOING!! B) I'M SO NOT SAYING THAT IT'S OK TO ONLY ACKNOWLEDGE DAN'S TWEETS AND NOT PHIL'S, but I PERSONALLY feel like Dan has a different way of facing it. If he (Phil) has never talked clearly about any of his hate tweets (because even though we all see him as a ball of nice stuff, I'm sure he gets them), it may be because he doesn't feel confortable with it and THAT'S ALSO FINE!! C) I admire that (and that's what I personally think about it. it's just a feeling I get) they have this be-proud-of-each-other thing. When this whole takeover stuff came out, Phil was "Dan is hosting it" "Dan did it" and it was so nice to just watch. And everytime there is something 'off' with Phil's side of the phandom or along those lines, Dan will be one of the first ones to deffend him. I think that's just awesome and I wish everyone in this world got a friendship as strong as theirs. So yes, I deeply admire them both for all they've achieved so far and I'm proud to say I'll be here till the end :) Ps. I said PERSONALLY a lot to clarify that THAT'S WHAT I THINK/MY OPINION/MY POINT OF VIEW, so you may or may not agree and may or may not be the truth. Always be nice and respect others's ideas. Pps. My native language is spanish, so sorry for the typos :)

[@twenTeens]

AMEN! Very well said, i totally agree with you! I am so proud of Dan for this whole #NicerInternet thing! He's such a smart and kind person, i am really glad he became an internet personality/ radio host and is spreading his positivity and using his power to change things for the better! (same for Phil ofc)

[@mercedesconde3044]

Thanks ^.^

[@exosluckyone]

YES.

[@M8772]

omg Mercedes Conde estoy totalmente de acuerdo contigo! (mi lenguaje nativo tambien es español xD)

[@lewlavabra6811]

I agree with your entire comment but I'll never be able to express how true the "C)" part is... The way they support each other and defend each other at all times is just so amazing and heart-warming !

[@quintusmay3244]

I feel like Phil gets more hate than Dan because he's "not hot enough" or "Dan is hotter" blablabla Guys, we are sensitive to Phil not because he's "innocent" (for God's sake he read the skin fic), it's because we feel that he gets much more hate and he is more fragile. Yeah, I understand Dan gets hate too. (Ps. There is no such thing called "equal amount of hate" so don't bother.) But he acts stronger than Phil, and we believe that he is strong and will carry on. Yes, Phil might be older. But age doesn't necessarily mean everything. You might be older, and more mature, but you could be fragile. I just wanted to say, if Dan and Phil somehow came across this message, just note that all Phangirls and Phanboys not to be sexist (it's a name for our fandom members. Well, in our case Phandom members. It's much easier to say that instead of the Dan and Phil fandom, right?) believe in you guys, and we put our faith in you guys. Remember that the side with valid reason wins, in simple english it means that the Phandom members would do anything to reply to the trolls in the best way they can. We will try not to offend anyone and not be mean. Just remember the positive side wins, and try not to let the hate bother you guys. I know it's hard, and it's easier said than done. But believe me that 100% of people on the Internet had either been a victim of hate, or saw someone as a victim of hate. Just try to help that person and defeat the hates. I hope that there would be less hate on the Internet in the future than now, and I'm pretty sure I would get hate under this comment (I hope as minimum as possible) Haters slash trolls, I do hope you can reconsider what you typed on the Internet before you sent it. Because it would be there forever. Mindful of your language and your "use of terms". When you type, please remember that there would be more than one person you're affecting on the other side of the computer or phone or i pad whatever gadget and they have emotions and feeling too. So please, have a heart and be considerate. There is a limitation to free of speech, and it's a gift given by the government. Use it wisely, and not to use it as an excuse to send hate because it really hurts. Sass doesn't necessarily mean everything. We do not have a Captain America shield to protect us, okay? Thanks. My rant is over. You may resume to whatever you were doing just then. Thanks xx

I can imagine them telling Dan and Phil what they'd be doing before they started recording. Newsbeat: So, guys, we'll just be making you two read out your hate comments to each other! Is that alright with you? Phil: Yep, it's fine with me! Dan: OH NO. OH NO NO NO NO NO. MAKE PHIL READ THEM OUT TO ME, SURE, BUT PHILLY CANNOT HANDLE THE HATE COMMENTS. HE JUST CAN'T. Newsbeat: He's 28.. Phil: Yeah, I'm fine. Dan: YOU WON'T BE FINE. TRUST ME PHILLY. Newsbeat: Ok... then Phil will read out Dan's hate comments..? Phil: ... Uh- Dan: YES WE'LL DO THAT.

[@jessicar.8853]

I feel like if they made Dan read Phil mean stuff then Phil would probably get really sad but try to laugh it off and Dan would go complete Phil-Lester-Defence-Squad on them. Phil gets so much hate for no reason at all, its really not fair to him

[@sriya4820]

Maddie Moon i think she means both are affected, but dan is #1 phil trash and is always supporting phil when he gets hate

[@jessicar.8853]

Maddie Moon i didnt mean it like that, im sorry if i offended you by saying that dan doesn't get any because thats now what i was trying to say. 1) i was making a joke about how Dan is complete Phil trash and will make jokes to make Phil feel better at all costs and 2) dan does get a lot of hate and so does phil, i dont know who gets more but i dont think it matters, hate is hate and anyway phil helped dan through that hate and dan helped phil right back. the first part was just a joke and the second was true. Phil does get a lot of hate for no reason. it was just addressing phil. im not saying dan doesn't get any but this comment was addressing phil hate. you didnt have to go all bitch on me saying dan got hate too in the most asshole-ish way possible. anyway i was going to make a comment about dans hate but i didnt, lots of people get hate but this was just addressing Phil's hate and i was just making a joke in the first part. yes dan gets hate and yes you can shut the fuck up with your obnoxiously long reply that i have to reply to with an equally long, obnoxious message. now shut the fuck up

[@hi-vj9dy]

We can all admit that Dan is the leader od the Phil defence club. But Phil was bullied a while back, so this may be why Dan's pretty protective, so don't hate on Phil for it. And now I see comments hating on Phil. This is the fucking Phandom. There's way more Dan supporters here, like, shouldn't we go together? My point is, this is the Phandom. I'm surprised at how many of you have started to hate on Phil. We can't take favourites. Choosing Dan or Phil should be harder than choosing out of your children. Not Dan in a split second just because Dan has more personality and can 'deal with the haters'. So can Phil, people just don't understand that from his sweet personality so therefore tend to stick up for him a little more. (even though they are almost the same.) And that isn't Phil's fault. But don't you DARE call Phil a 'precious Phil' or 'Little baby' It's like you want more haters on our Phil? Is that really what you want? The phandom is on both sides, forever loving both dear Dan and Phil.

DAN IS SO FUCKING HOT

[@courtneymeier1163]

This video made me feel really bad because Dan and Phil Both have bags under their eyes, and not like normal bags that most humans have, but like massive bags. Which I don't know if they were there because of lack of sleep or stress but it just made me feel very bad to see them in such a state. I love that they tend to not care much about hate but just the fact that they have to distance themselves from what people say is just sad because I want them to find joy in what they do and not have to distance themselves in such a way that they don't actively experience all aspects of what they do. I don't know it just seems like it takes away from the experience, having to distance from fans. Then the fact that Dan kept laughing and from what I've heard he does that sometimes because he's awkward and I don't know if was actually feeling sad or not, or just didn't know how to handle it. I don't know if he was just feigning being used to it or if he actually doesn't care much. So it just made me feel really bad.

[@nivid924]

Courtney Meier Maybe it's because they stay on tumblr all night long xD remember?

[@LaraAnnMarie]

[@ellajasnieski2758]

this video actually made me cry. not because of the mean comments, but because of how they handled it. they turned this into an anti-bullying video, and i love dan and phil for that. thanks you two, you make me happy.

[@mistyfreya]

don't beep out Phil's swearing!!! I WAS WAITING FOR IT MY WHOLE LIFE

[@chunkischunkyfat5240]

shut up

[@420phanit6]

These comments disappoint me. I would protect both of my children from hate but like they said in this video they know to just ignore people because nothing good comes out of if. I think you should all stop arguing and stop taking dan or phil sides because honestly they're a package deal and thats like choosing between your children. If you love one then you love the other its kinda a given.

[@420phanit6]

+Angie Stylinson everyone in these comments are now pretty much saying what I'm saying but 2 months ago when I wrote this comment, everyone was being rude and arguing with each other. Phil read the tweets out so its not like he wasn't included and they probably only did dan tweets because when people tweet dan they're usually very sarcastic which is what the bbc thought was hate, while Phil doesn't usually get sarcastic tweets cause thats not his style. The real fans protect them both equally just sometimes in different ways, if you don't see that then you must be blind ow

[@420phanit6]

Angie Stylinson so you literally just said what i said that we should protect and treat phan equally and if you read my comments carefully i say phil doesn't usually get sarcastic tweets because theyre more along the lines of being lovey dovey cause thats just his style. I didn't say he doesn't get any sarcastic and/or hate comments at all. The BBC fucked up and got them to read out fan comments because dans style is sarcastic so more fans are sarcastic and shit with dan, making it easier to find what could be thought of as 'hate' comments on dans videos/tweets. THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THEM HAVING DIFFERENT STYLES (as long as everyone treats them with the same amount of love equally then its fine which is what I've been saying this whole time)

[@420phanit6]

Angie Stylinson does it really matter? Phil got to read out the comments and Dan got to listen, and they both commented on them and concluded the video in the same way. It was pretty equal if you ask me.

[@420phanit6]

Angie Stylinson Of course everyone wants to see that, so do I, but you can't go around saying this video itself is unfair because it was balanced quite nicely. Your need for a sort of part 2 to this with Phil's comments shouldn't make you feel like you have to go around telling people that this video is unfair.

[@420phanit6]

Angie Stylinson because saying its not fair is like a 5 year old child saying its not fair they have to sit at the kids table, well in fact it is very well fair it just the child is blinded by this need to sit at the adult table. Saying this video is unfair doesn't make sense. You can say you want a video of Phil doing what Dan did in this video, or that you crave a video of that sorts, but saying this video itself is unfair is rather silly, for the reasons I stated earlier.

[@h0randang]

[@brightsidenight]

***** Dan= Phil Lester Defense Squad

[@sarahsmith8943]

Another reason that it would be a bit awkward for phils hate is the majority is comparison to dan. ive seen tons of "dans hotter" or "dans funnier" and such, which would be a tad weird to have dan read to phil... and dan gets more 'hate' because a lot of it is, as dan said, people on twitter saying "your ugly" trying to be sarcastic

[@annickdelien663]

Did only Dan got insulting tweets because Phil just doesn't have one because he's too adorable to get hate

[@fanfood5439]

phil looked so uncomfortable the entire time like he feels personally involved in the hate (he's too cute i swear) and after reading the comments I'm guessing all are pretty well aware of "dan's background" combined with "dan's current hate" but we can only speculate. phil probably know everything and more, being in dan's life that long... and I'm all for the "Phil Lester Defense Squad" but i think the "Dan Howell Cuddle Team" (headed by phil) should be a thing too ;)

[@KarolinaLopez]

I love this kind of attitude and it sets the example of, laugh it off. Which is good. And THANK GOD they didn't read mean tweets about Phil. He's this beautiful creature that we have to protect and say loving stuff about.

[@KarolinaLopez]

Maddie Moon I don't mind the rant. I know you're trying to say, that Dan isn't this hard person who we can say anything to and that not only Phil needs protecting. I get that and i would never say anything awful about either of them. I just know that Dan handles it better because he feels that way about himself to. It's like when someone points out something bad in you and you don't fight it bc you think it's true. What I'm saying is Dan is better at handling this criticism bc they say the same things his demons say. Phil on the other hand, doesn't think of himself so darkly. He's surprised about certain bad things people say to him. I know he's a grown adult, but they are two different people. Like cussing around an adult and a child. You do it around the adult bc they are used to it, but you shield the child away from it so he's not shocked and influenced by it. Of course, that's not an excuse for anyone to treat Dan badly. But I get where you're coming from and I agree.

it makes me angry too. also when people are mean to viewers of youtubers. youtubers are used to it (sadly), but a person just writing a comment is not. criticism is great, but hate is just unnecessarily mean. even when i was more "problematic", i never insulted people on the internet to feel better. i would feel bad.

[@matthewcurtis9714]

Okay in all honesty-- both Dan AND Phil should be shielded from the hate. Seriously some think that Dan can take all the hate seeing as he has had low self esteem issues in the past and maybe even now being that thick blanket of sarcasm and smiles. Phil on the other hand is 28 (Turning 29 soon if I remember correctly..) who has a pretty high self esteem and loves himself yet gets hate about how ugly he is and to go kill himself. In any possible occasion there are really mean KZbin comments, tweets, Facebook posts/pages, and horrid Instagram about THE BOTH OF THEM. Phil isn't a little child (I hate to break it to you!) anymore. He's grown and flown away and kept his head held high while Dan even though it might seem that he is the same is all just a illusion. Sure Phil is childish and cute and sure Dan seems sarcastic but maybe that's just not the case. What I'm boiling down to is that both of these men that are precious to their families, friends, and phandom. We all have to treat them with equal respect and equal kindness (If you are being sarcastic then that is totally fine! But don't take it too far.) even if I do sound like some weirdo-- I love these two with all my heart and I would never take what would happen if something happened to one of them-- Heck both of them!

I don't think it's bc he's being rude or bc he doesn't love us, he just is one of those people who gets uncomfortable saying 'I love you' to millions of people that he has literally no idea who they are, which I get completely, bc even when he does say it he can't actually mean it if he doesn't know us. But he expresses his gratefulness and admiration for the fans a lot which I think is just as good (:

those dark circles around Dan's eyes... he is probably tired from a night of passion with Phil

[@mooplie]

Or maybe because he's been working his ass off lately?? He was at playlist for a week without much of a break because of having to do things for playlist and meeting fans and promo and stuff, and then he had to get on a nine hour flight from Florida to London early in the morning, probably didn't get much sleep because we all know how anxious he gets sometimes, and then only had a few hours to rest up before he was whisked away to do a video for the radio show. And to top that off, not even a full ten hours later, he had to do his live show thing for #NicerInternet and now he's got other smaller things he's doing, plus he's due for either a main channel video or a gaming channel video any day now. He looks tired because he IS tired, and it has nothing to do with a "passionate night with Phil", I can promise you that. Trust me, mate, I ship Phan as much as the next person, but I get tired of seeing everyone relate the smallest and simplest of things back to their 'relationship'.
