The Evolution of Tana Mongeau and Her Content

Hi friends! So today's video is another "evolution of" video. This one in particular was super interesting and fun to make and I really enjoyed discussing and talking about this topic! I can't wait to hear what you guys have to say down below in the comments! I love you guys and I will see you in the next one!
I tried to find the link to the Lucas video I mentioned but it must have been deleted which stinks because it was truly so funny! Sorry about that 😔

[@l.l274]

On topic with the Idubbbz situation: I'm suprised SO MANY people made fun of Tana for being scared? Like, have people forgotten about Christina Grimmie? It's entirely valid to be scared of someone who randomly says A SLUR at a meeting greet, when you don't know them or what they're going to do

[@daisymay156]

In Tana's first video about the incident she actually mentioned Christina Grimmie and was talking about how she worried Idubbz (before she knew who he was) might have a gun - and there was a lot of mockery for it when really, that's not unreasonable for a 17 y/o girl in America who's suddenly flown up in followers. Tana's got a lot of issues and there's a lot to criticise, but that would absolutely be a scary situation.

[@miuanaspooks7375]

Tana was scared yes, however people didn't take her seriously because she completely lied and exaggerated the whole situation, idubbbz was pretty shitty for just showing up and saying a racial slur but what made it worse was how terribly she exaggerated and lied about it.

[@audreybea4013]

That's what I was thinking I feel like if that happened to me my mind would be flooded with thoughts like " should he have gotten searched" " am I about to die" " are a lot of people about to die" bc sadly almost every mass shooting in America especially in recent years has been racially motivated. Like even when I was in high school and had to go to the bathroom during class I would intentionally pick the hand cap stall bc thier bigger and easier to hide in incase a shooting happens like I could not imagine the anxiety she went through being faced with an actual potential threat from her point of view at least

[@indiesunflowers]

in the vid she made, she claimed that she couldnt get out of his grip because his arm was around her neck and said other lies. the point of his video was proving that she lies in her videos. which he did prove. nobody is saying she shouldn't have been nervous or creeped out, and nobody is making fun of her for BEING scared, theyre making fun of her for lying about the whole thing. the point was to show that she lies and exaggerates. which she did.

[@TenderNoodle]

I think most people were coming at it from the angle of idubbz, which is thinking it’s a prank and not actually harming her, and also knowing his reasoning for playing the “prank” in the first place, where tana did not. She was also known for being an exaggerator at the time so it was assumed that if her reaction was dramatic it was because she was faking it for views. In retrospect it’s definitely not cool and kind of pathetic on idubbz part but at the time I think those were the main reasons

[@elsiemae5182]

In the words of Amandabb: “I have no interest in the ratchet loud white girl” but I will be watching this whole video because I’ve gotta find out how she went from someone who made outrageous storytimes to being a scam artist who is constantly screwing up.

[@TheRibottoStudios]

It's so INTERESTING that all these people that Shane TRIED to HELP, have just you know.....NOT AT ALL changed. Huh. How bout dat.

[@Strawlighte]

Ribotto Studios because Shane himself has never changed, I think he “helps people“ but doesn’t actually encourage people to change their behaviors. He, in the Tana series, I feel like it was a lot of putting the blame on Michael Weiss, on the Jake Paul video he wasn’t putting the blame on anyone, he was just using mental illness and disorders like sociopathy as an excuse for Jake’s shitty behaviors. I only watched the Jeffrey Starr series to the part where they talked about Jeffrey saying the N-word, and it was just excuse after excuse. Shane doesn’t hold himself to changing his behaviors, so he doesn’t encourage anyone “helps” to change their behaviors either.

[@xryxix]

it's because he doesn't encourage change. only rebranding

[@madisondaniel4124]

The eugenia video he literally said the most insensitive comments LITERALLY she was like “ idk what type of video i would post when first coming back “ and he dead ass tried to joke and say “ just post a mukbang” LIKE ????? It was so sad to watxh an now she’s right back to where she started

[@humorandspice]

Next one: Shane? Perhaps?

[@keghan4824]

But that can't be it because Shane is such an empath and he just loves helping people and you can tell that it's true because of how often he feels the need to tell you with his words instead of I don't know, proving it with his actions

[@Astarthatslays]

Honestly tho like why would you lie about that??

[@user-we8dn5ub9z]

I always found Tana's story kind of sad. There's something that seems so real about her unlike some of the other 'problematic' creators. Like I knew so many girls like her in high school who just had a terrible home life and fell into the wrong things early on. Any one of them could've been her. And the unfortunate thing is I'm not sure much will ever change with her, at least not in the near future - she goes through the same cycles of behaviour over and over. I think she partly originally used KZbin originally as a coping mechanism where she could get the love and attention she lacked from her parents and tell some of her traumatic, and other storytimes and turn it into funny, exaggerated entertainment that people actually wanted to hear about and watch. She could be self-deprecating and air all her insecurities which would only cause her fans to tell her how much they loved and respected her. But I think now her reputation has taken away all consequences for the things she does and so she is rewarded with attention for the atrocious behaviour she does.

[@carriej.4912]

And men wouldn’t be canceled for the same things

[@briciolaa]

its super sad. when she daid she started to embrace the hate/narrative around her that she was a fuck up and everyone hated her already, damn. crazy audiences cant be held accountable for shit like this

[@MeXiCaNchick9513]

I’d also like to add she has a deleted video where she finds basically a dead body in the bathroom and nobody talks about it.

[@skillzzzzzzzzz]

WAT

[@sociopathyisbliss4658]

[@rebeccarobin3815]

Tana's character is like the " cool girl" mentioned in gone girl. She constantly claims to be different, honest , real and "not like other girls", but in reality she is just like every stereotypical LA "influencer."

[@casey5683]

Wow you’re so right

[@mariakiwi1428]

Got the same vibe,in my opinion people that feel the need to claim that shit are usually very insecure

[@alive3749]

100/100

[@ArturGlass.C]

That's not the takeaway of gone girl at all. The takeaway from it is that a lot of women pretend to be the cool girl to appeal to the male gaze and it sickens the main character that her husband fell for that scam instead of seeing the real her with flaws and all because she thought he was smarter than to think women would so easily be able to fit in vapid stereotypes instead of being the fully fleshed out people that they are. Replacing one stereotype by another stereotype is doing the exact same thing.

[@ArturGlass.C]

@Dov Lazar I guess it's just very bothering to use a small part of a book's argument to prove something that kinda goes against one of the biggest argument of the book. It's like people who watch fight club and think it's an ode to people like Tyler Durden while ignoring that the entire third act of the movie is the main character going against Tyler and everything he represents because he's a toxic dangerous threat. Art can be interpreted different way yes and that's great but when it's brought up in an argument to promote an idea that is literally one of the major point the art is trying to deconstruct, that's just wrong. Like fascist using 1984 to say it's about the liberal attacking "free speech" when it's literally about fascism. Ultimately I need to chill. It's not a big deal and you're right but I needed to make it clear that it's not really the message of Gone Girl because I don't want people who could be its targeted audience sleeping on that book because they have a bad idea of what it's about.

[@galaxyghost1340]

I feel like we don’t talk enough about how creepy Shane’s and Tanas relationship was. Shane in general has a creepy tendency to ‘befriend’ teenage girls.

[@naughtyemochild]

I doesn't seem like she has someone in her life who's really looking out for her.

[@jodichamberlain3818]

And never had... in her videos she always described a terrible childhood and referred to her parents as “ppl who should have never had children”

[@Laurenjoinsyoutube]

I am convinced that someone at MTV has a daughter that went to tanacon and wanted revenge because that show made her look like TRASH and they didn't even try to spin it. They didn't even care that people stopped watching because they started hating her lol

[@alexandran6009]

I think so too the whole thing was just so weird they made her look like shit which she would obviously be mad about so I don't get why they would do that. Even if she was acting badly wouldn't they make her look OK to appease her

[@NoName-mm4qf]

Also important to mention that Gabbie almost got ‘cancelled’ over the Kenza Cosmetics scam, but when Tana did it, no one seemed to care. This also proves that when it comes to Tana, people have zero expectations anymore. Kind of sad

[@a.evelyn5498]

I think people were more upset with Gabbie over the “manage your expectations” comment.

[@ibugfishi]

from what i saw, people weren't as upset with tana because she did make a genuine apology, compared to gabbie who was very condescending and just straight up told people "well it's your fault for buying these brushes, you should have known something like this might happen." to be honest though, the kenza cosmetics scandal wasn't NEARLY as bad as other's and she did actually own up to making a bad move, and she apologized to her followers and anyone who bought the brushes.

The saddest thing about Tana for me, someone who’s watched her all five years, is that she’s totally lost the concept she was setting out for. She doesn’t care about her image or her fans at all. She has become the opposite of what she wanted. Unless she actually only wanted to get rich, in which case she got it! I’m sad. Lol

[@ytamee5952]

I think at first she did care, but at some point, the $$$ just balance all the drama, scandals and bad points of her yt career, so she probably just stopped caring, because whatever she does, she will earn sth off it. Sad indeed :/

[@StealingSunsets]

I feel this. She's surrounded by yes-men who are happy to see her spiral as long as they're profiting off of it. As another day one fan (who flew across the country for Tanacon), her downfall has been devastating to watch. She seemed like such an excited-for-life lovable girl who just wanted to inspire people and make people laugh...now she's like a shell of a person.

[@hlane1694]

As someone who found Tana’s content around the “bleach and tone” merch, I couldn’t agree more with your analysis on her KZbin career. I am only two years older than she is, and at the time I found her content very relatable. I was kind of a goody-two-shoes in high school and partied more through college, and I feel I grew up with Tana in a way. But at this point, the act wears thin and you can only screw up the same way so many times. Maybe one day Tana can come back to KZbin with the passion she once had and prove us all wrong. She definitely knows how to stay relevant though, I will give her that.

She was always messy just didn't show it until a few years later just watch her storytimes which are about her when she was like 15-16.

"Acknowledging you messed up doesn't excuse nor fix what you've done." Something I've noticed with Tana and many other influences is that they'll do whatever it takes to get back in the audience's good graces but not to fix the damage. Apologies and "taking responsibility" aren't worth much when you don't show remorse and you don't face the consequences.

[@audreybea4013]

I feel like tana is really lost and doesn't know who she is.

In some ways I feel so sorry for Tana. Like if there was ever a person who needed a full on detox, rehab from LA/ influencer lifestyle, its her. People say "oh she was young" when she started but 15 is a literal child- was there anyone in her life holding her accountable? Its almost like she was a child star who had 0 real life consequences and became an adult with...0 real life experience. On the other hand, she's clearly manipulative and not a very nice person. Great video.

Thank you for talking about idubbz. It was so infuriating watching him get praised for that.

It's so clear he doesn't care about black people or our issues, and neither does Tana but at least Tana has been exposed for that.

I have to say that Idubbbz does get a LOT of shit for what he does. But to be fair, Tana was derailing herself, he just also made a video about it. It wasn’t like she was some squeaky clean KZbinr he called out for nothing, she was screaming the N word at her friend and then went hard saying she thought it meant friend. Idubbbz was showing her how ridiculous she was being. I don’t think everyone has to like what he did obviously, but it wasn’t his fault... she said what she said.

I think the MTV show really damaged her brand. Her persona is all about being too cool and not caring about anything and being self-centered and messy and consequence immune and to her young fans that can come off as empowered and rebellious and even aspirational but MTV showed how tiresome and frustrating it's actually like to be around someone like that and her fans stopped relating to her and started relating to the people she was screwing over. I think the two most damaging episodes were the one where Tana doesn't care about having asthma and freeform coughs all over LA which aired post-Corona and the one where Tana promises to pick up her friend after his surgery, flakes on him and then guilt trips him out of being mad about it. The comments in both those episodes are full of her fans completely aghast at her behavior even though her behavior is totally consistent with her persona, I think it destroyed the fantasy of the whole thing for Tana's fans.

[@shannonfilialunae1359]

I’m glad you acknowledged how messed up idubbz was. I remember when this was happening I feel like everyone was taking his side. When it wasn’t a matter of sides because 2 people can both be wrong. I definitely don’t blame her for being scared, that was a scary situation.

I'm the same age as Tana and used to be one of those fans of hers that just stayed with her through everything. It was almost like I grew up with her tbh. Like when she still had the goody persona at the start of her career, I was in high school. Then when it switched up to partying and drinking, it aligned with my life because I was in undergrad doing the same things. But now i'm 22 and in grad school and have grown out of the parties and drinking, but Tana is still in that phase. So the past year or two is really when it feels like I'm not growing up with her anymore, if that makes sense lol. Like I kept growing while she stayed the same. It kind of feels like when you leave your hometown, but you still see the people in your hometown on social media doing the same stuff you used to do and not really growing out of it.
