@@stuppittyhed I...don't know where I stand on this, and it depends by what you mean by "moving on". I do think rape culture allows them to get off scot-free too often, but I also think, and I speak as a man, an American, and someone that as a child has been abused, that people in the United States, and especially men, are too focused on the perpetrators over supporting victims. I think it rather disturbing how you have men express violent fantasies online rather than donating to RAINN or helping in more productive way. They don't have fantasies about murking predators, they have fantasies about murking. Heroic ones, I might add. I like reading Punisher as much as the next comic fan, but I also think America has a problem with either ignoring sex crimes or using them as a mean to virtue signal via calling for much harsher...."retribution", and I think this is one part of the problem that Americans have when it comes to punishment, which is reflected in our justice system. I mean, of course people who prey on children should be in jail for a long time, but can we not forget the victims too? Attention is limited.

Like my peeps, I literally do these kinds of figuring out what you actually think and why without judgement exercises so you can do it your entire life whenever you interact with people or media and you need to check yourself. Especially because most of us aren't really taught how to recognise our own thought processes, attitudes etc always have a pattern and we actually have to actively want to change and do the change in our thought processes if we want to be more equal.

Huge agree on the Ava stuff honestly. It deeply bothers me when any marginalizing person does ANYTHING and people take it as a reason to propagate prejudice against them. Like someone can be horrible ruinous person, but you STILL shouldn't use that as an excuse to say the most evil bigoted things to them because it's suddenly "okay" to you. It's not defending someone's actions to say that you shouldn't misgender that person or be racist or ableist or misogynistic, it's basic decency because we all know that you're all not shitting a horrible white cishet guy in the same dehumanizing way you do to people who don't fit those labels.

That bish set the whole queer community back 10 years, precisely because people take one bad person of a minority group, and use them as a demonstration that they were right to hate us.

While I completely agree with you, I have a slightly different take. I was one of the people asking him to relook at that video and see if his viewpoints had changed at all, but made sure I was very explicit in saying I was only referring to them as individuals and not the conversation about trans people. Everything he said in that video defending Ava is so important seeing how trans people are vilified for simply existing, but he also had a few takes on Mr. Beast and Ava as people outside of the conversation about trans people that I was curious if he had changed his perspective on with all the new information that came out. I feel both can be true that he stands by what he said about sunnyv2 spreading hateful transphobia while also seeing if he still stands by what he said about them as individuals separate from the topic. If that makes any sense?

That why attacking someone for their transness, weither its misgendering them or even equating their transness to their bad deeds doents make sence. Being trans isnt a choice, but hurting others is. So why are we debating about their gender, something nobody can control, when what we should be talking about are their crimes

I've seen so many people say that "sunnyv2 was right" No he wasn't. His video was based in transphobia and he had no knowledge of her grooming behaviour that mostly happened when she still thought she was cis. This shit would have been the same regardless of her being trans

[@lunova6165]

Sunny's video only hated on her for being trans. All of Sunny's accusations came based off the fact she was trans and nothing more. It was same with Tati, both of them just got lucky in randomly accusing someone of being a predator with no evidence. It was pure chance that these things happened after these accusations. If he had insider knowledge that she did do these things beforehand he never provided evidence. Its straight out of the transphobe playbook to call everyone in the LGBTQ community awful things. Eventually you will be right about one person and then you basically give yourself confirmation bias to keep doing it again.

[@CathysWorld383]

All of us trans people out here collectively cringe when a trans person does something awful, because we know it’s gonna hurt our community as a whole even though it shouldn’t. It’s not fair to us. The media always tries to spin it into propaganda against us. So, I am begging people to leave being trans out of it, and always use preferred names and pronouns. Just like every other group of people out there, there are good people and bad people. There are good cis-gender people and bad cis-gender people. There are good white people and bad white people. But when it comes to ANY minority group, if a minority messes up, it somehow now paints us as a whole group bad? Make it make sense. In the words of Sabrina Carpenter to my fellow trans people, “I beg you don’t embarrass me, motherfucker.”

The way I CACKLED when you said some people are saying "we owe SunnyV2 an apology" 😂 Don't worry D'Angelo, 95% of your takes are spot on.

[@ChantalOderSo]

omg the tati westbrook, James charles, jeffrey star trilogy was the first vids i ever saw of you!! I never realised you had three channels tho but I just checked and i follow all of them hahahah

[@sushreeshashwata]

Which is d third one ?

[@skyeaurelliah9883]

what's the third one??

[@ChantalOderSo]

@dangelowallaceagain :)

[@guesswh0119]

​@@sushreeshashwata he showed the first 2 at the beginning of the video, this is his 3rd channel I believe

[@KameRaidar]

@@skyeaurelliah9883 why is the third one??

[@iwannabeacowboybaby]

It’s these types of videos and honest accountability that makes me stick around and carry on watching people’s content - it’s refreshing to see someone so openly human and sincere ❤️

[@RoyaltyAC]

I remember the ‘ma’am you’re thirty’ video. I felt bad watching it but then gained a lot of respect for you immediately taking ownership of your mistakes and apologizing. I love seeing your continual evolvement. ❤

[@laterkater4213]

Yep, same, especially as someone over 30 at the time, it was actually really gratifying to watch the genuine apology and growth. But also, how was that 4 years ago? 😂

[@darrienland]

Ugh i remember seeing the mr beast vid right after it came out and cringing cause i have some friends who worked for him for a few months a little over a year ago, and the shit they went through was insane. I was like 'this vid is gonna age poorly it this ever comes out!!!!'. Glad you have the grace to learn when you are wrong or to reflect when new information comes out about someone who you had an opinion on. Some people just double down on whatever they say out of pride. You are doing great!

[@TamsinConway]

The Shane video introduced me to you. I'd never even watched those kinds of videos on youtube and barely knew of Shane's existence, but it kept being suggested to me, so I gave it a shot. I'm glad I watched it, because I love the way you present things and your humor is always A+. I was genuinely happy when you were back from your hiatus visibly doing much better mentally.

[@MoranaPetrusic]

I'm glad you addressed 4. the ageist video, women especially have some rigid expectations of what they should be at 30+ and while that woman is horrible her being 30 and her looks shouldn't have been mentioned at all, that wasn't the problem

[@kuliet]

What did she do, if you don’t mind me asking? I remember watching that video like yearsss ago so I don’t member a gosh darn thing now lol

[@Cinnamon_Dreams]

If I remember correctly, the main thing was that she made a video about a teenager giving herself tattoos (and piercings?). I'm not sure if he said that in the video yet because I'm scrolling through the comments while watching, but I think that's what it was about. If I'm wrong, please correct me :)

[@ppomodori]

​​@@Cinnamon_Dreams I'm a watcher of treacle tatts (Lauren) who the video was targeted at. Just to briefly explain the origin of the video, Lauren called out blakehomie (the underage teen who was unsafely tattooing and piercing themselves at home at the time). Lauren is knowledgeable regarding tattoos and made the video expressing concern and advising people not to follow what blakehomie was doing.

[@bonebae8173]

@@FallingIn2TheVoid unfair assumptions which she later made a 30minute video on, much like D'Angelo's, saying how she got it wrong and shouldn't have said those things. Actually not a horrible person at all and as far as I knew, D'Angelo and Lauren had spoken after this all came out and the 'beef' was squashed.

[@Cinnamon_Dreams]

@@ppomodori Thank you very much! I appreciate it ^^

[@felisa957]

20:30 I really appreciate this take, because health is such a personal thing and how a person looks does not equate to how their health is doing.

[@markboron5581]

One of the few KZbinrs who will actually take accountability, admit their past, mistakes, be humble, and learn from it. Shocker. We need more peeps like D’Angelo on the platform!!

[@davrowpot5585]

A restrospective on the things you've regretted, learning from them, and holding oneself accountable is something most commentary (question mark?) channels won't do. This is how you know that the person you're watching is mature enough to talk about their perspectives in life while being open to any corrections or changes, and the channel you're watching will always be worth your time and discussion.

[@omaimaf9963]

Being notified of this 12 seconds late should be classified as a crime.

[@fernandapadilla1816]

Mine was 7 minutes late 🥹

[@kongovi5284]

25 minutes here 🥲💀

[@5Starallstar2010]

The only D'Angelo we acknowledge is WALLACE

[@lisagaines1813]

I subscribed in the serious deep dive era, but loved pastel cat ear headphones phase, and enjoying neutral tone light commentary version right now. I also tend to change style when my interests change. It’s nice to have you back enjoying yourself again. Thanks for all the recent uploads!

[@rebeccah9193]

The whole nikocado avocado situation creeps me out…just because he went through a ‘transformation’ doesn’t mean he is a good person. and yet everyone is treating him like some sort of superhuman.

[@confettiangelfoodcake]

i was just looking if someone would say something like this, and wondered if others remembered stephanie soo's videos of her experience with him

[@geekgirl_luv4262]

D’Angelo continuing to be a beacon of integrity and genuinity in the commentary community. I really respect him for not just admitting that he was wrong and changing his mind, but also acknowledging the times he was wrong rather than trying to hide them, and talking about them _without_ having a bunch of people demanding that he address it.

[@Eddysig]

Man, I really fw D'Angelos humanistic, just tryna be a normal person approach. This is the most irl way anyone talks about Internet things idk how to put it. It's genuine. As a neurodivergent person IT MATTERS, bc WE CAN TELL

[@swapado]

I started watching all the way back on whichever channel you posted talking about some art drama with Holly Brown tracing some FMA art 💀

[@aSpectrumofDorky]

Omg I remember that

[@dimetrodonz]

EXACTLY SAME LOL

[@_aislingxyz]

I started watching you in your art channel era so this was a fun trip down memory lane

Hey Greg

[@BenjaminSchollnick-tu2xb]

Ma'am thirty, and Ma'am Sorry, taken together, really hit me in the feels.

[@vicphernelia]

honestly d'angelo is the most fashionable youtuber that i know

[@katiesmusicarchive]

real

[@rosegoldrach]

even when he wears the same outfit every video he slays

[@obrunolegal4340]

i'm not gay, alright? but d'angelo is one of the most beautiful men i've ever seen. he looks like tomorrow, if tomorrow turns out to be fine. he looks like a dream, a distant and intangible dream. but, again, i am not gay or anything

[@blending_in]

that's Film Cooper for me lol even tho he dresses like a grandma sometimes

[@emmad-ul4tn]

I like his Shrek vest
