[@nachgeben]

I think taking him to task for a poster is incredibly immature. As is making him apologize for the same things over and over. He needed to apologize recently for the pedo stuff because he never had. As for all of you bleating on about this, if you're still watching content from the likes of James Gunn or Dan Harmon, who made very similarly disgusting content to the pedo stuff, you each need to take several seats on your hypocrisy and rotate your hips until it goes up your asses, because you can't pick and choose and expect anyone to respect your so-called ideals.

[@KM-mw3jp]

The fact that he compared himself to Jenna Marbles is hugely hilarious to me. No way in hell is Shame anywhere near Jenna. Jenna is articulate, caring, and intelligent. She genuinely was heartbroken that she might have hurt people, and made the choice to apologize/leave on her own. Shame only ever apologizes when he can profit off of it, either by financial benefit or social/status benefit.

[@SteviiLove]

And she's still gone while he's back. If he truly wanted to take a lesson from her book, he'd realize he shouldn't have come back ever and officially retire. Jenna didn't do even a fraction of the horrible things he did but she's still gone more than a year later which just solidifies to me how genuinely remorseful she is while Shane has only solidified to me he didn't learn a single thing from this.

[@primroseprom]

@@SteviiLove I think that it’s important to note that Jenna had already been thinking about leaving and took her situation at the time as the cue to leave. She’s also a lot less greedy than Shane, which is why in the event that she ever comes back (which I partially believe she never will unless something happens and she believes she can use her influence to make a serious difference), it’ll be a long time from now. Shane on the other hand, never wanted to leave in the first place. And it’s important to note that, as the original commenter here pointed out, Shane only left and only apologized in the first place because it was financially better for him to do so. And from the moment he left he was already planning his return and *that,* no matter how Shane Dawson or his stannies will try to spin it, doesn’t say “growth” in any way, shape, or form.

I watched it as a kid back when he did skits, and while they were funny and harmless at first, I remember the first time I was genuinely saddened by one of his videos, where he depicted people with depression as emos who not only are overdramatic and lie about abuse they've been through, but also mocking their struggles and their self-harming. I've struggled with depression my entire life due to abuse from my parents (though we're on good terms now) and seeing that shit hurt bad, even though I was still a kid who didn't fully understand those concepts, I saw myself in the people he was punching down at. What was worse was the amount of comments backing him up and mocking mental illnesses and people going through abuse. I stopped watching after that, and good thing I did because he only went downhill from there lmao. I don't know if I fully agree with OP. Those kids may definitely not be aware of the harm Shane's done if they're not one of the demographics he targeted. But I fully believe that those in that demographic were painfully aware that they were the butt of the joke.

I remember growing up as a mexican child and watching shane dawson, but what made me more confused, was the way he mocked my country, i felt in a way hurt because i was just starting to learn english, and from that point his type of "black humor" and even the channel of the toxic onision, affected me and the way I looked at the color of my skin, i didn't want to be looked as a phrase from shane "lupe the one who cleans my dishes", but i wanted to be white and american.

[@cherryblossomlotus]

The biggest issue is the majority of the fan base getting angry then forgetting and forgiving the previous actions. As long as there are people who don't see the problem, think the "apologies" were good enough, or the break was long enough; these big youtubers will always get away with anything. There are no actual consequences in the end so there is no learning from their mistakes or holding themselves accountable.

[@jackief1038]

The issue is most of his audience are white teens to those in their early 20s, who don't understand the true issue of Shane's racist past. That apology was not for most of his audience to accept. Shane didn't hurt most of the people that watches him, so when he came back that part of his audience, that doesn't understand the impact of his racist issues, forgave him immediately. The only reason I say his audience doesn't understand his racism is because they just don't experience not necessarily that they are unable to intellectually understand it. I do agree with the fact that the only reason these big youtubers can come back is because of their fan base, because that's what made them big in the first place.

[@cherryblossomlotus]

@@jackief1038 I'm sure there are fans of his who are older than teens to early 20's who still support him after all of this, which makes it worse. Ignorance is not bliss.

I don't understand how YT hasn't done anything against Shane, since they have changed their rules.

[@egg4666]

Yea and Shane trying to play victim by using the scenario of “cancel culture trying to bring him down” allows his younger viewers to be convinced that they’re going against the grain when in reality it isn’t about that at all. And end up justifying bad things because of this cancel culture bogeyman or whatever is the evil force that’s trying to take down “innocent” creators. I’ve been there, thinking I was cool for being “anti-sjw” at the time when it didn’t actually mean anything. Hopefully they’ll just grow out of it.

“Horror” series is quite generous. I only watched some KZbinrs react to his series and even with their commentary which is typically entertaining, I was absolutely bored out of my mind. And that’s the thing about Shane’s content. Now as an adult I can say the vast majority of his stuff is objectively bad and not even funny from a technical standpoint. There was no setup and punchline to his “shock humor” because it’s literally just him saying shocking things. I think this became even more obvious in his horror series when he clearly was attempting to be funny without the shock factor and it just turned into a bunch of adults giggling over nothing to try to convince the audience that Shane’s hilarious.

[@ani1451]

There are also black creators that cant be cancelled bc they’re big like LongBeachGriffy. It hasnt got shit to do with race and claiming so is ignorant.

And seriously, compare these attempts at covering one's ass to The Kubz Scouts's singular, genuine, purposeful, well thought out apology for muuuuch less than this. Night and day difference. I mean, the comment section was almost entirely people that are themselves black PRAISING him and his apology and thanking him for doing it. Like, I have literally never seen that kind of video have anywhere near that positive a reception, especially from the people it's about, and especially especially on the internet. Know why? Because he took responsibility, acknowledged that while he didn't have malicious intent what matters is that harm was done, pointed out that this apology is specifically for the affected group and no one else to accept or not accept and that it's very much ok for them to not accept it and ditch him, repeatedly emphasized all of those things, and more. Basically, he did everything Courtreezy has always told people is important in such apologies and even made direct eye contact with the camera as he did so. The whole situation proves it is more than possible to do this right and not only fix the whole ordeal but actually earn respect for doing so. It's not that these people CAN'T. They REFUSE to. They try to PRETEND to do it without actually doing it because they completely CHOOSING not to do what's necessary. It's not inability, it's unwillingness.

It’s not even really blackface, which is incredibly offensive on its own, it’s more like minstrel shows. Which are straight up from the early to mid 1900s made to fully just mock and stereotype black people. In my opinion, that’s even way worse. Not sure if this is an American thing only?

I'm not sure if minstrel shows were ever popularized elsewhere, but they did originate in the US. If I'm remembering correctly, they took off because of the Jim Crow laws.

The same thing happened here in the UK. Minstrel shows were popular until the 70s but TVs shows continued to show actors in blackface. Some shows that contained it that were popular in the 90s and 2000s were Bo Selecta, Little Britain, The Mighty Boosh and The League of Gentlemen. Thankfully the entertainment industry has progressed a little since then.

When I see apologise like this it makes me realised that a lot of people don't know how to apologise. I know that seems like an obvious statement but I mean that they genuinely think this is what apologising looks like and everyone who thought it was a good apology doesn't know how to apologise either. When you are giving a heart felt apology to someone you've wronged and it wasn't an accident, your apology should be a straight forward "I'm sorry for what I did, I'm sorry I hurt you, I was wrong, tell me how I can make it better". But shanes apologise come with disclaimers that he's not going to make excuses and he then proceeds to make excuses. It comes with a bunch of exposition and distractions. It comes with explanations on the way it made HIM feel. And what I think it all comes down to is pride and an inability to admit you were wrong. A lot of people say they can admit when they were in the wrong but it is a lot harder that it sounds, especially when you're stubborn. That's how you get apologise with excuses, because they're trying to convince themselves that they're not fully in the wrong and what they did wasn't as bad as it seems and it wasn't their fault. It's to soothe their self image.

This is literally the definition of *”fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me; fool me a third time, and neither of us has a working moral compass.”* Shane had his first “apology” - people felt bad and forgave him (even though he did some *truly* reprehensible crap). Okay…moving on to the new and improved “Shane the empath” 🙄. He was welcomed back into the KZbin family and became bffs with the makeup crowd (and sold a gazillion eyeshadow palettes). But apologies two and three?? Nope. This isn’t baseball. You don’t get to be caught doing and saying the stuff that came out after the first apology and stay in the game.

7:25 Since he started making videos he has always known how to get clicks on his videos, that is why he had so many “phases.” On an old podcast he talked about when collabs were big, so he would schedule multiple collabs a day with different KZbinrs, like a production studio churning out content. He knows how to gain the system (yet always whined about not being on trending ugh), he always had. When skits were big he made the most shocking stuff, same with parodies, and collab videos, and food videos. Tldr he knew exactly what he was doing when he was playing offensive charicatures, because the outrage got people to click, and I guess the ppl who were not outraged stuck around. Oof I havent even watched 10 minutes of the vid yet *buckles seatbelt*

45:56 Cody Ko really did turn out to be trash

[@nb8817]

I’m going to coin a new term here and say that Shane’s personal “alignment” is “monetary evil”. Let me explain. So the way he seems to view what he did (or how he justifies what he did to himself) looks something like “my fans weren’t mad/offended -> so I continued to make money from it -> therefore what I did wasn’t wrong or that bad because I continued to make that money -> and if it was truly as bad as others said then I clearly wouldn’t have made that money -> but since I did then that proves that my actions were justified” With each apology he just gets better at masking this logic, which is why he keeps getting progressively more vague about what he did so he doesn’t have to address how he actually feels or giving any concrete explanation of his true thoughts. Which is manipulative at best and *very* close to the logic of an abuser at worst.

I distinctly remember my older sister sitting and watching shane’s old videos with me. I didn’t understand the vulgar humor one bit, I was far too young, maybe 10? 11? My dad heard what was being played and he scolded her, told her to never play it around me or in general. A big thank you to my dad for protecting me from what I could’ve possibly been exposed to, because a lot of what shane has done and gotten away with is SO vulgar. Unfortunately, my sister still watched his videos and I was still somewhat subjected to the foul humor as a result. My sister was probably 15-16 talking about all sorts of gross, unimaginable things. His apologies have always come across as tone deaf and fake, but it doesn’t matter, people will still feed his ego and pockets.

Also, as someone in Shane's age range, he ABSOLUTELY knew the history of blackface.

OK, while I agree with you that now everyone should know... I actually was never taught about it in school growing up 😅 I was class of 2015 and I NEVER knew what it was.

Which I am grateful that I am learning how to be a better human and how to respect other people properly. But yeah, I grew up in a REALLY good school district in the United States... and we were never taught about blackface. While maybe the city you lived in or your state may have done a good job with education, you can't really argue that the ENTIRE country is full of good school districts... cause let's be honest... our educational system is shit 😂 and our country can be pretty racist... it shouldn't be a surprise that maybe some people really didn't know better in the past.

I watched Shane growing up. I saw Fred is dead when it was first uploaded. I kept watching Shane until his latest cancellation. It felt so weird seeing what he did 10 years later as an adult because as a child I laughed at all of his videos. Shanayay was my favorite character of his when I was 12. I didn’t see an issue when I was 12 and I thought the apologies were enough when I was 16. I was conflicted about whether it was right for me to stop supporting someone who I at one point really liked when I was one of the people laughing at his racism. Somewhere along the way, I realized that though they were “just” videos, they’re part of what made it okay to make fun of me for my hair, my nose, my skin - for being black. At 23, I just don’t think I can get past that.
