Shane be like "let's make a whole docu-series demonizing people with mental disorders and call them heartless and evil bc they have issues with empathy" but then turns around and blames his own shiftiness on his mental disorders acting like it excuses it
Same vibe as when full grown dudes in punk and metal scenes get called out for shit and go "I'm depresseddd" yeah that sucks but it ain't an excuse to harass underage girls sir
i love how shane literally made a whole docuseries trying to diagnose jake paul with a mental illness that he doesn’t have, and now he’s doing stuff like this. he demonized jake paul’s mental health for personal gain and then turned around and used his own mental health as an excuse for racism??? i’m not trying to defend jake paul either, but shane... make it make sense.
Also blaming racism on your mental health is also ableist because it implies that your racism is a side effect of mental health. I have anxiety too and I find that I'm actually more anxious when I don't call things out, but even if that isn't true for you, it's our responsibility to be anti racist regardless of mental health status.
As someone with quite a few disorders myself, i really hate when people use their disorders as excuses. Obviously i understand using them as explainations since well disorders alter how you act from neurotypical people. So let's say i'm hanging out with friends but suddenly run away and go home without a warning, i can explain its because of my social anxiety disorder, because in fact its not a reach to say the symptoms pushed me to do so, yet i will still apologiese and try to better myself. Racism, is not a symptom of any disorder. And it would feel like a reach to say symptoms pushed you to be racist. And at that, even if let's say, it wasn't a reach, you still need to apologiese properly and showcase it as an explaination and not as an excuse or as a way to get sympathy.
It’s difficult to watch people holding Shane / JeffreeStar accountable with “they-said-she-said” crap from a woman whose honesty is debatable asf...while there has always been concrete physical evidence about their racism and colorism 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️ Side note, Ashton, hon, this makeup look is everything ❤️✨
If I, a person who gets anxious about cutting off relationships and whatnot, can cut off people that are being bigoted individuals, then Shane, a privileged white male in this society, can. He has the privilege and ability to step away from that situation, several others have done it but he is too scared to admit that he is a racist and hangs around with awful people like Jeffree.
I'm white, in a white family, and its hard because every day is a fight with my racist family. I tried getting them to read books or articles written by black people but they say its "too much work" to read them... Or that they don't want me forcing my views onto them... Idk what to do anymore cuz I don't love them anymore, but when I broke down crying telling them how upset I am they just screamed at me. I can't do anything and its stressful when ive been abused in the past and am putting myself in the most tense situations. But I do anyways, just to see if something might change. But it never does, and im stuck being angry and alone in my room...
I'm white, so if there are people of colour with their own views on what you should do with the racism from your family and you're able to, reading that might be more useful to you. But as someone who cut off all my abusive and bigoted family, I wanted to give you advice from that perspective. At a certain point things like this become a waste of our energy. I'm definitely not saying you won't be able to call out racism in general, there are plenty of other racists in the world, but that's exactly why it's not just self care but also good tactically for you to see your relationship with them as purely about your survival. Speak out against their racism to the point that you feel comfortable, because when it comes to helping others you'll do better trying to get out of the relationship than fixing them. Sorry if I've misread the situation, my family are economically left wing bigots which took me a long time to accept wasn't my responsibility, they were abusive and neglectful to me and I gave up when my mum defended my aunt and uncle literally screaming at me about their views of Muslims. My mum told me I shouldn't have brought the topic up... It's like, them joking about trump being bad while being in a country which banned burqas, deported imams, closed mosques and had literal nazis in coalition. I cut off my family because I had never had real financial or emotional support from them anyway. Your situation of course may not be like that... But it's up to you what sort of relationship you can accept with them. I think when it's obvious you're associating with them out of necessity, as you're dependant on financial support etc for your livelihood, you're no longer anything like a racist who refuses to cut a bigot off because they find the bigotry acceptable.
Could someone tell me what happened?? Or point me somewhere I can find out myself? I know something's been going down, but I haven't figured out what. I feel like I should know about this, but I don't even know where to start looking. Thanks for any help y'all can provide!
Shane’s done blackface and sexualized children. If you want to find more info just look up “Shane Dawson drama” on Google or RUclips because TONS of people are making videos.
Never mind, I listened about 30 seconds further into the video and found it myself. For anyone wondering, the second link in the description box seems to have a solid breakdown of events. I haven't finished that yet, but thought I ought to put this out there. :)
I don’t want to sound like I’m defending him, but there is a huge difference between cutting out a racist friend and cutting out a racist business partner. He should have never partnered with him in the first place, but I can understand that level of anxiety when it is a business partner. There are plenty of legal and financial factors involved. It’s not as simple as cutting out a friend. It’s a very complicated process. I just graduated with two business degrees and we were told that we need to treat business partners like a marriage because the partnership is just as difficult to get out of.
I know that this is different for everyone but my anxiety rather makes me get tf away from racists because they make me anxious because not only do I know that they’re a shit person, I also on a more anxiety related level get extra nervous in their presence because I know that they are also more likely to bully me. I perceive bigots as a threat, which is amplified by my anxiety. And I’m a white person, so take this with a grain of salt since it’s not my place to talk about racism, just my personal experience with the combination of anxiety and racist people.
Shane be like "let's make a whole docu-series demonizing people with mental disorders and call them heartless and evil bc they have issues with empathy" but then turns around and blames his own shiftiness on his mental disorders acting like it excuses it
he just sort of creeps me out, anyone who lacks the common distaste disgust and disdain for pedophiles is a big no in my book.

👏🏻 SAY 👏🏻 IT 👏🏻 LOUDER 👏🏻 FOR THE 👏🏻 PEOPLE 👏🏻 IN 👏🏻 THE 👏🏻BACK
he didn't even address grooming his younger fans in his apology, just obvious damage control
