[@vapiddreamscape]

you were the among the only people who I watched that covered Adam's original video and you solidified my opinion on her long before her actual fall from grace. I think might have been how I first found you? you have a great read on these sorts of things. I'd been hoping you might talk about this bc your previous work is one of my all time favorite smoky glow videos tbh

[@KaseyWithers]

That video was how I found Hannah, it really was one of the only videos that was supporting him at the time. It broke my heart seeing how people reacted to him coming forward, and I was so thankful to see a creator standing up for him.

[@ErisIsAnAbomination]

The way everyone was so quick to discredit Adam back then is absolutely disgusting… It really feels like they were only taken serious NOW because it came out that Miranda had assaulted little girls. There’s a really awful belief out there that women can’t exploit or assault men and masc-presenting folks, and I think that worked in Miranda’s favor up until now.

[@CraiginOhioUSA]

@@ErisIsAnAbomination That isn't even true. Goodness....

[@rr-rg7ot]

I think if Colleen hadn't made the song, she would have still had all her contracts and wouldn't have been permanently cancelled. So I love that she ultimately took herself off the game board. It's all quite sad for her victims tho ultimately

[@bebeshome]

i’m so stoked to see you TALK YOUR SHIT. back in your ELEMENT. i remember your 2020 glowmas got me through taking care of my mom when she came down with covid before the vaccine was released. your presence was such a comfort then and continues to be now during this insane time period. i hope that the workload has been treating you alright! thank you for doing what you do!

[@imagnet36]

Everything you say about Colleen becoming a family channel is so on point!!! I do think what you said about her college isn’t 100% fair though. Colleen and many members of her family are fairly open about their prior fundamentalism and them being homeschooled because of it (though less so her older brother, who is also on KZbin running a family channel with his wife). It was the religious stuff that sent Colleen to that college. At that college, though, she met Korey, whose coming out is part of the reason she isn’t religious (or at least religious in that way) anymore. And she’s certainly aimed to be an LBGTQ+ ally with her platform for a very long time. So please, let’s call her out on the racism and her be being inappropriate with fans. But her college selection is rooted in an upbringing she, as a child during it, didn’t have much control over, and likely was paid for by people who wanted her at a school like that. She turned away from all of that, hard, when she was in the middle of that environment. That’s a good thing, as far as I can tell

[@saf2127]

I completely agree with you on the college topic. Plenty of people go to colleges like that because it’s the only place their parents will permit them to go, and in a highly conservative upbringing like that, you’re often well into your 20s before you realize, “hey, I’m allowed to disagree with my parents!” For a great example of a person with this story, I highly recommend Alyssa Grenfell’s channel. She is an ex-Mormon with a BYU degree who very openly speaks out against the church now. Her videos are fascinating and eye-opening.

[@sierracindrell5775]

Yeah, I agree. Colleen is awful. Hers is one of the only cancellations I think is actually warranted. She’s done some horrible shit with zero remorse and then acts like the victim. The criticism about the “anti-gay” college isn’t really fair though.

[@monicaruh6066]

YES OMG I ALMOST JUST TYPED OUT SOMETHING LIKE THIS. I attended a very religious Elementary and High School as a child and even would go to (what I now deem hateful) protests for the sake of saving people's souls. UNTIL I realized in High School that I was queer and my faith was dismantled fully for myself. Colleen needs to face the consequences of her actions, but she has already corrected her previously homophobic beliefs so more criticism should be placed on her racism/inappropriate behavior with minors.

[@somanyplacestogo]

Although it does explain why she has an obvious lack of ability to think critically

[@elizamartin4263]

Please make a video about Cody Ko! It's a similar situation where he had a "nice guy" reputation but what happened with Tana when she was underage was already known years before!

[@AsMr-km6ex]

Hateful situation. My boyfriend and I used to watch his niceguy content. He even called out creeps. Then it turns out he knowingly sleeps with a minor. When told my bf he said ‘but girls lie about their age’. Emm excuse me? Cody actually knew her age but even if did lie on what planet is it acceptable for a grown ass man to be attracted to/ chatting up teenagers? I dumped him for this among other sexist comments. It’s like Cody wanted an amazing girl next door kind of woman like Kelsey as his wife but the bleach blonde, loud, into makeup and nails women are completely disposable, there to be used. It shows he doesn’t see either as human.

[@selunescorpio]

The “it was a different time” defense does absolutely nothing for me. People should be able to realize even though something is widely culturally acceptable, or is shown to primarily children so the majority of people won’t be able to call them out, it’s not ok for the person to post. Colleen, Shane, and all those youtubers who did shock value comedy for their channels deserve to fade into complete obscurity

[@kristenefox7001]

I hate this because it's like "Different to WHO?" This behaviour has never been okay why is this always the excuse. Fully agree, hopefully in a few years these people will be a speed bump in the greater KZbin history.

[@Cat_Woods]

Yeah, what they mean is, "I didn't notice that it was wrong because I took all the money I was making as social validation of my actions." Nope, it was exploitative, harmful, and wrong then, too. The fact that you were rewarded for it instead of getting any negative consequences is what allowed you to get away with it. But that's what reveals character -- how does someone act when they can get away with doing something wrong?

[@musicislove90]

There was a lot of terrible behavior that was normalized in the past because it was just happening so often, but that didn't make it okay. It's such a weak excuse to say "everyone else was doing it". And just because they didn't face any consequences back then doesn't mean they never should. It drives me crazy that some people try to make that argument.

2:11 I will say, Colleen and her gay best friend (who went to the same school) did discuss this topic at length in a video years ago.

[@sabor3541]

Exactly! Thats the reason no one uses that as a talking point about her when exposing her behaviors.

[@Rhonda9617]

I thought it was common knowledge as well

[@nunpho]

You'd probably have to be a fan to know that and I don't think Hannah ever was

[@MsSmile300]

Yeah and she would mention it briefly in other videos, as well. Also, there's a lot of people who went to Christian schools like that who no longer hold those beliefs or who never did but went for financial reasons. However, I will say with how much Colleen lies it wouldn't really surprise me if she did still hold those beliefs but fell in the camp of "well I think it's wrong but you do you" but doesn't want to admit that.

[@Zeli2tear]

Queer alumnus from that same school here 🤚🏼 that comment about how Colleen going to that school being indicative of her character REALLY irked me lol. Like, there were plenty of gay students that choose to still go to the school for one reason or another, it says nothing about her behavior after the fact. It was a weird fact to try making a point on for the topic of the video. I get we dislike Colleen here folks, but the choice of school is such an unimportant part here

[@whatdoyousuppose]

@@PeachShortcake_I was a fan coming from the Broadway community appeal first of all. She first made her mark with the Broadway community, she had (if I’m remembering this correctly) a walk-on role in Mamma Mia where she met Frankie Grande (and Ariana), so that was some of my early association with her since I’m a theatre person. And I was in middle school when I first started watching her. I was much more a fan of Colleen than of Miranda. I stopped watching Miranda videos at a certain point and was only watching Colleen, kinda up until her personal page started exploiting her own kids since the ethics of family vlog channels are just really icky (I watched some channels like that when I was a kid but later saw them for what they really are. Her brother’s family channel being an example of that). This is only scratching the surface like I was big into the fandom, Colleen followed me on Twitter (she still does apparently? I unfollowed tho lol), I’ve met her twice, I was like deeeep in the trenches yall.

[@ellaelliott4415]

Not everything can be put into a video. Without it being hours long. She may post another video like this at some point with more evidence, including the religious trauma they experienced. There’s just so much to talk about with Miranda.

[@alenayushkevich8159]

The thing is, it wasn't even Adam who brought everything up again in 2023, it was Kody who dragged Colleen through the mud and then disappeared into the shadows and let everyone else to be dragged. Adam just responded to Kody's video and showed all the messages and proof that he indeed never lied about Colleen or what she did to him and many others. It was truly a storm.

[@azbutterfield2026]

The thing I have quite literally never understood about Miranda Sings is that it seems to me like Colleen created a character who's intended to be read as intellectually disabled in a non-specific way, and then invites everyone to laugh at her Miranda for... being disabled? How did we *ever* accept this? Regardless of what year it was, was that EVER okay?

[@nunpho]

Yuuuuppp

[@LuckyLose-jv1iq]

I think because a lot of her audience were children. I watched her as a kid and just thought the charachter was quirky. As a kid i would never notice if someone was diabled (or even somone mocking) unless someone told me

[@azbutterfield2026]

@@LuckyLose-jv1iq Oh absolutely agreed. I was a kid when Miranda Sings was a phenomenon and I didn't read the character as disabled either. My point is more like, where were the adults?! Why was no one calling it out? It genuinely baffles me. It was only with adult hindsight I saw how truly offensive and ignorant it was, and I'm just shocked people who were older than us gave it a pass for so long.

[@jordanwillams4899]

Hannah, I have been a long time fan and as an ex-Colleen fan, I’ve been waiting for this one. It’s my Roman Empire. There are a few things I want to touch on as I remember them happening in real time and then how things changed. When she first got pregnant, she was always asked “is the baby going to be on camera?” She would always answer with a no and maybe when it was older and could consent, she’d rethink. Well here we are. I remember wanting to ask her about it at a q&a but my friend wouldn’t let me. Looking back, I know she’d have been PISSED if I had cause she is very aware and cares a lot how she comes off. I think I do disagree with the reception of TGT. After spending A LOT of time on the snark page, that was many peoples final straw. The complete lack of accountability blacklisted her for a lot of loyal fans. At that point in time, I would argue her fan base was split between moms or adult women like me who grew out of her ms content but watched in that nostalgia way you described, and children or teens who found her interesting. So I think TGT was the final straw for adults and was a non explanation for kids who are too young to understand or those who don’t have a lot of social media and weren’t that aware of what was happening. They only knew that she stopped posting. I don’t think TGT was a ploy. I think she is just truly delusional and believes herself to be the victim, even to this day. She refuses to acknowledge anything about the situation and I think TGT was the delusion created from her own vanity.

the steady stream content from u gives me a feeling equivalent to settling in after a long day w a blanket and hot chocolate, and watching ur comfort movie u could literally talk about a boiled egg for 50 minutes and i'd gobble it up
