[@PizzaHabit]

Either way, it wasn't genuine.

[@LongLostCringe]

@@PizzaHabittypically if someone is going rogue and truly repentant, they’re likely to basically rip off the bandaid, so to speak. When they’re on a script, and unfamiliar and/or nervous, they’ll lose their place and while they do a word search they’ll throw in a delay phrase/word, like, ummm, uhhh, sooo, etc. She’s been in front of a camera for the better part of her life now, and as we saw with her uke video, she’s super comfortable with steady eye contact and reinforced eyes when she really wants to emphasize. There was nothing ‘faked’ about that video- she meant every single word of that obnoxious little ditty. Now she knows her livelihood is 100% on the line and she’s willing to read whatever she has to read to get even 1/4 of her viewership back because **gasp** she doesn’t what to have to actually *WORK* you know! She’s giving all the tells of someone reading a script but being so pissed that it’s come to this that she keeps losing her place. What’s hilarious is, this was the best take. There’s no way in hell that she shot this with one take, shot her shot, all done. This was the best they got from at least 50 tries.

There's a whole genre dedicated to abusing children, and another dedicated to disturbing the peace. There's little to no blowback for false DMCA strikes. And just this year: -One of the biggest commentary channels doxxed a former employee's suicide note because he reported a toxic work environment -A major gaming channel got caught trying to molest a nonexistent 13 year old girl -An OG KZbinr got caught grooming a teenage boy -A family vlogger got caught starving her children -A vlogger scammed fans out of millions with a fake crypto game -A reaction channel showed up at a critic's home to "have a talk" I think it's time to stop talking about individual creators and start viewing this as a structural problem on KZbin.

A couple things I've heard people mentioning. That his apology feels like it is really directed towards her viewers NOT, her victims, and on that note she still hasn't told her fans what exactly she had done, continuing to choose to be vague; Choosing to state she was having inappropriate interactions with underage fans rather than stating she had them do free or underpaid labor, sent them p*rn, or encouraged them to be s3xu@l around her. Next, I've heard people mention that this video conveniently was posted just as her grace period for inactivity would have ended, causing her to lose monetization. Can't say this for sure I'm not a KZbinr, but if this is the case it makes her "apology" come off as more insincere.

[@bradentheman1373]

exactly. not even an apology

[@challengethesad]

I disagree with you there, I don’t see why she needs to go into detail about what she did The majority of her audience isn’t stupid, they know what she means Also you lose monetization once you’ve been absent for 4+ years The guidelines might’ve changed since then though

[@krazykookie23]

​@@challengethesad I get not saying every single thing she had done. But I feel as though she is boiling it down a lot, you know? In her last "apology' video she basically said people were mad at her for a fart joke and for being too nosy with fans, and in this video, she states that she was inappropriate and immature, which caused her to hurt and disappoint people. But her actions were much more than that and had heavy connotations, they were criminal, traumatized kids, and very manipulative. And I know most of her fans are not stupid, but she does have a lot of child fans with parasocial relationships and frankly, they just are more likely to take what she says at face value. Not looking at if she actually apologized to the victims, or if she took down the video that was just so embarrassing for her. Btw, I'm not calling kids stupid, it's just that they are also unlikely to go out and seek the information themselves. Colleen is like a friend to them so they probably don't want to search for videos or click on thumbnails from people who, as their "friend" originally said, are attacking her. It's a parasocial relationship and I think young people can be more susceptible to it. btw sorry this is long, I don't mean to seem ranty. It's just hard to summarize my thoughts while trying to say what I want to say. So I just gave up on summarizing XD

Sorry or not, I hope that if she continues to interact with any of her fans that she has left, she confirms that they're all adults before doing so, and to respectfully decline interacting with children without the presence of their parents or guardians.

By now it just seems like common sense if you've spent long enough on youtube to know that apologies like this are never sincere. They say it for PR and hope to tug at the heart strings with certain bullet points and try to move on from it like it never happened. The only apology videos I ever bought were when they involved people apologizing for giving incorrect information on a news related topic or for sponsorship issues with a company that turned out to be terrible.

I just wanna say i went to her video to read the comments and they are positive and supportive of her and welcoming her back. None of those people care about any of the crimes she did or how she downplayed them in her first apology its just really weird

[@curiousguyontheinternet9023]

Meatcanyon made that exact point in his parody of the ukulele incident: that people will forget everything she’s done given time, no matter how horrible what she did was

[@missbelle13222]

Children can’t understand the gravity of what she’s done. That’s what she’s counting on

[@ItsMeMia1138]

i noticed that too. i feel bad for the people she actually hurt.

[@farihanahid723]

I’m gonna get attacked in her comment section because I said “Can’t wait to see you manipulate kids again! ❤” because everyone I saw was using “❤” and was saying “can’t wait to have you back!”

When Colleen was playing the ukulele the fish guy from SpongeBob came up: “Oh brother, this apology STINKS” Now with the squeal: “Oh brother this Apology Squeal STINKS!!!!”

[@Mary-Anne582]

06:32 she's been inspired by song lyrics for her apologies now 😂 "I'm not a perfect person There's many things I wish I didn't do" Shows my age but I thought that sounded familiar... great song too!

[@Kairi98503]

She not only shot herself in the foot, but pinned herself. Because her first 'apology' has something that others before her's lacked. An earworm of a tune. It's easy to meme and hard to forget once you hear it. That earworm will keep reminding people about the situation because they will start humming it, go 'oh what was that song?' Look it up and go 'oh yeah, it's that song about a grown women whining about having to take accountability for traumatizing children', so yeah, even if it doesn't completely kill her career, it will haunt her a lot longer then it would have if she didn't pull out the ukulele.

[@rei2684]

As someone who used to watch Colleen religiously when they were little and grew out of it years ago, I am very disappointed in her. I watched her before all the drama, before she was even a mother, and when she was Rebecca Sings. I forgot about her a long time when I stopped watching years ago and seeing all her drama now, it kinda just made me mad and disappointed. As I watched her as an escape and yet she did all the things I tried to escape from. (Don’t worry I’m safe now). It’s annoying and disappointing to see. She deserved her downfall.

8:39 I really hate this part "thank you to anyone who supported me in any capacity in the last 15 years" yikes. She acknowledges that she's lost fans because they've grown up and/or figured out what kind of person she is but lumps all her dumb current fans in with the one's who see through her, including all the grooming victims, adam macintyre, and just collectively thanking all of them for their money and attention. Great stuff colleen

[@ravenslight7934]

It's not a genuine apology, it's a PR move to try and put whatever tiny scraps of her career may be left back together, so she can get that ad revenue back for the holidays. It wouldn't be the first time KZbin let literal criminals continue using this platform.

[@HappyLilac16]

To your point at 6:09, as someone who (regrettably) used to casually watch some of Colleen's vlogs, I can confirm that she wasn't too busy for social media when her first kid was born, nor was she too busy for social media when her twins were born (and spent days in the NICU, to boot!).

Glad you clocked “accusations” right off the bat because that’s the only word I needed to know she ain’t care.

[@hastur-thekinginyellow8115]

Toxic Gossip Train 1 was a wholly unique and original experience. It's characters were interesting, the antagonist reveal was done well (spoiler: the train conductor who is introduced early on to the audience as a protagonist before a very well executed POV switch happens and the deuteragonist is revealed as the real protagonist), it had many surprises, well written characters, and a satisfying climax wrapped up the story nicely with the antagonist making a major mistake and engineering their own fall from grace. It is a 10/10 experience. Unfortunately, I can not say the same about Toxic Gossip Train 2: Toxic Redemption. It is downright fan service slop served up on a hastily made platter. A lot of the original cast returns but even they must have realized TGT 2 was awful because their performances are very obviously phoned in - no authenticity or wild passion like we saw in the prequel. The story completely backtracks over what happened in the prequel, leaving plenty of plot holes and continuity errors along the way, to a point where the original is nearly pointless. The fan service is blatant, and they had the nerve to actually include advertisements in this shit pile. Yet somehow, despite being fan service, the legendary ukulele doesn't even make an appearance, not even once! Instead they just make a vague reference to it while trying to sweep it under the rug as if that scene in the original never happened, yet another continuity error. The antagonist goes back to Misinformation Station, but you can count on that being the only main throwback. They even tried to pull a cliche and make the ending a "antagonist redeems themselves" trope, but it is so ridiculously poor written and executed you'd be forgiven for thinking it might be satire. Anyone who saw the original knows that the antagonist is a Machiavellian narcissist who's only interested in manipulating the situation to her benefit. A redemption arc makes no sense and is completely tone deaf to the original. Toxic Gossip Train 2 is an absolute terrible sequel.

[@IrishBrotato]

I'm not a psychologist or anything, but in my opinion at around 6:45 when she says "I only have control over my actions moving forward." and she shuts her eyes it's OBVIOUS she's lying. You were definitely right. It's a PR effort.
