- Colleen Ballinger's career is doing far far better than it should be given the information that came out about her. She basically got away with everything, and we should all find that deeply concerning

I don’t know how anyone could recover from pulling out a freaking ukulele in an apology for literal grooming but here we are.
People forget and her audience was in complete and utter denial.
Ironic username lol
@@thelofistorm I didn’t even realize💀 time to delete my account…
@@ukeleleguitar2087LOL
Only a moderately attractive woman could get by with this . Any dude would probably be rightfully harassed off the platform. But then again there is Shane Dawson still here... Another type of privilege at play there I guess
It pisses me off how everyone just let her go on
Same
Same, she was the joke of the internet for a while, now people are accepting her back…
Her audience is largely kids. Short of murder, kids don't really understand the gravity of situations like this. Brain development is an interesting thing.
Not everyone did.
I imagine many of the kids who watch her put 0 thought into any of it
Dang. If her mostly kid fanbase is still backing her after everything she's done, then parents should really be stepping in more
Spot on! My kid does not decide what to watch, I do. No Colleen, no Misha, Sasha what they are called testing toys on camera for creeps bo matter how hard YT kids pushes that sh#$%.
Pesonally I believe the fanbase of family vlogging and groomers like Colleen come from disfunctional households to begin with and feel at home when they see red flags.
"Oh Colleen IS like my uncle!"
That's because children have virtually no crossover in audience with the channels criticizing her.
It's a type of child neglect to allow kids to be influenced by pedophiles with absolutely no remorse or regret for their actions.
RUclips should be shutting her down
@@angelikalaser7778I agree but it should be a joint decision. Don’t go taking away kid shows just cuz you find it personally annoying. 🙄 if it’s not harmful then leave it be.
This is why "cancel culture" is such a paradox. People had their lives ruined over less serious things, but actual child predators (especially if they're a docile white woman) seem to get away with direct harm. I worry that shes gonna learn nothing from this and groom a new generation of kids, and then pull the same 'Well Im the victim, actually' card when it comes to light again...if these kids even feel comfortable coming forward after how literally nothing was done last time. I feel so bad for Adam and her other victims.
People throw around pedos like theyre some dark lore boogie man from fairytales so much that they don't know how to identify a real one, and that one can take the appearance of literally anybody regardless of outward apperance.
Yeah sadly the cancel culture thing can only go so far, if the said pedo has enough money and influence they can get away with anything unfortunately. If we want her put away we need to go after her money.
I think it was mainly because she managed to get people focused on her ukulele response video and not the actual allegations.
Wow its almost like cancel culture doesn't truly exist..
Honestly, I think the whole "ukelele apology" meme caused people to start taking the whole situation less seriously. It's a prime example of why we shouldn't joke about things like this. I'd say it reminds me of Onision and how he got away with shit for so long. People memed on him and treated him as the buttjoke of the internet without realizing the severity of what was being done to his victims off-camera, and even after people saw how much of a creep he is, the bullshit with Chris Hansen getting involved downplayed it further instead of giving the victims real justice.
I absolutely agree that cancel culture is flawed. It's merely a way for people to dictate eachother under the guise of "opinions". People who genuinely partake in cancel culture think they're lawyers when they're actually just chronically online lmao.
Cancel culture...do you mean the thing that Republicans and Fox News made up because people,at the time, wanted them to be held accountable for their own messed up actions
If you think about it, the ukulele apology is kinda genius, cause instead of everyone paying attention to her allegations, everyone just payed attention to her playing the ukulele for her apology.
She's activated her trap card, is that it? lol
Kinda sad she pulled that and now is getting away with it
Tbh, I had the same inkling. Since she's good at entertaining people using "alter ego", the ukelele made even more sense.
We didn't pay attention to her allegations because she *had none*. She just said "you're wrong".
And played the ukulele, that too.
I don’t think that’s true. I think the opposite is true. Tons of people had no idea she was a weirdo until the ukulele song dropped.
Casual RUclipsr Apology: *Fake Crying, Sighs*
Colleen: Ukulele, Dumb Singing.
And becomes meme
Yes I too saw the video.
I'm just baffled that she's not been dealt with by the RUclips Team yet. She somehow played a Ukulele and expected forgiveness? What was she thinking lmao
Logan Paul made a better apology video
@@MarvelSonicFan04 fr
man, youtube is really sliping us these days. i have no idea how her and SSsniperwolf are still on the platform.
You know why
They’re women
@@SkarmoryMelee I would argue, but honestly.. that is probably the reason
@@SkarmoryMelee It’s not that, there’s a lot of men who are groomers who are roaming free. Just look at Dream
Quite simply SSniperwolf, most makes RUclips a lot of money with her low effort react content, so they have to prioritize their income over other stuff and unless she ends up making RUclips lose money, she won't be effectively punished and in Colleen she effectively manage to focus the hate towards her ukulele response video and not the actual allegations, not because they're woman, if they was man it would be the same effect.
Tbh Colleen ballinger honestly did not get enough backlash rather than actually got away with it (most people criticised her apology, instead of her grooming and horrendousness to others).
I feel like that was get goal, get everyone talking about that so people don't talk about the real fd stuff
Thing I'd most people didn't know who she was til she did that and it blew up as a meme almost. She went viral. And I think that was her goal
Irrelevant how much people yell
If RUclips dont care, nothing happens
I’ve noticed this too
Sssniperwolf also got away with everything. She was temporarily demonetized, but that was it. These high-profile creators generate alot of revenue for RUclips.
I think I’m sensing a pattern of behavior. Hot internet girls do not get any punishment ever, only average looking or ugly girls like Trisha Paytas.
Worst of all: she din't get trully demonetized, it was found out that she was re uploading her most watched videos to a 2nd channel which was monetized still and RUclips din't turn it off jfc
To be honest a lot of people get away with everything, because generally the people who realize that they are bad people aren't the demographic that put them in their position, or made them wealthy in the first place. It's incredible the number of creeps on the internet that amass millions of followers and views before anybody starts noticing how sketchy they are.
Or James Charles.
I'm not up to date about him, but from what I know he's one of the people with the most amount of dirt on them and yet he's still roaming YT completely unharmed despite how fucking creepy he is.
Ad-Money cow privilege is real
As long as people keep supporting them , they will stay on the platform cause it's 💰
That’s what happens when your fanbase is 90% children. We can’t completely cancel her because her fanbase doesn’t have the mental maturity to realize the gravity of her actions or even have the outlet to know about them
No, we cant cancel her because YT wont ban her xD how is this hard?
@user-ul6gb1uo7eThat's if the judge actually agrees with the child. There have been a lot of times victims have lost a case because of the judges.
I don’t know why RUclips hasn’t banned her account at all. Hell, she should be in jail and we’re all just kind of moving on like nothing happened.
She makes YT a lot of money!
And this is the first I’m hearing of it 😅
YT doesn't ban accounts unless those accounts piss off their advertisers.
She's a Chosenite. And Chosenites run RUclips. You know, those people who shoot missiles Palestinian hospitals and cry oppression when you criticize them?
Did she break TOS? If not than her account isn't getting deleted.
EDP lost his account because his videos already broke TOS since he regularly threatened NFL players with violence. Just that nobody cared to report his stuff until after he got exposed.
I was worried about this. Cause this is a trend with a lot of RUclipsrs. They get in a scandal, make a crap apology video where they own up to nothing, and they get away with it. James Charles, Logan Paul, Jeffree Star, Colleen and so many more. I hate that only one person took accountability for their actions, and that was Colleen’s ex husband who was also a victim of Colleen.
Finally someone mentions the male RUclipsrs that did horrible things. Everyone is just talking about the women and saying "tHeY gOt aWaY wItH iT cOz tHeY'rE wOmEn" people from both genders are doing bad things yet people seem to only notice it when it's done by a woman
At least Al those others eventually did get canceled so maybe there’s still hope
@@sleepykittyMMDLogan Paul himself keeps trucking
@@sleepykittyMMD Shane Dawson definitely didn't get cancelled, Logan Paul either, Colleen didn't, and James Charles and Jeffree Star didn't fall because of "cancellation", it's because they were beauty youtubers and there's a short expiration date on these.
@@neoqwerty ah yeah that’s true, kinda forgot about Shane. I heard he now has twins. I’m so scared for what he might do to those kiddies it’s sickening
I'm surprised no one called the police on her considering how serious these accusations are.
*The actual fact.*
If we only depends on consumers to boycott her channel, I doubt it's gonna work much, such strategy can at most inflicts a scratch on her revenue and killed her alter ego, but that's about it.
She could easily morphed into another new "more mature" alter egos to cater the family audience while she discarded the teenagers/young adults group. And it will easily passed as _marketing strategy_
I thought her first ever public victim (ADAM) was doing stuff with lawyers and police but idk and they cant talk about it if they were.
Over all these months I've been wondering the same thing. Apparently, there is a lot of proof for several things she's done. But it seems like gov & co are just ignoring all that and nobody is actually taking direct action and suing her or straight out calling authorities. So in the end without real consequences it just seemed to be a waiting game for things to quieten down enough to come back. I'm also surprised how so many adults and especially parents don't see anything wrong and worship the ground she walks on.
@@DekiamsIt's also a little difficult because some of her victims are in other countries
Official real life legal agencies really need to start getting involved. This, SSSniperwolf, Yandere Dev, Jirard The Completionist, etc. need to be held accountable for the crap they've pulled. Each different levels of the spectrum but something needs to be done. Some sort of accountability.
The whole toxic gossip train thing felt like a horrid fever dream I swear
disappointing but sadly not surprising. This is the story of the internet. Just look at chris brown. The internet doesn't actually care, it just likes to have someone to direct its anger at for a while. It isn't about actually changing things, it's just about harassing people in an acceptable way.
Whomp there it is
Exactly.
Eh I think people do care but it up to YT do shit
YT dont care...
When the people on top don't do shit, eventually people get tired of going after these creeps
Of course she did, nobody takes women predators seriously. When you hear about women teachers getting intimate with her students, there isn't outrage, just "damn wish that was my teacher". Etc.
It's seriously annoying everytime I see articles about that and people are like "where was she when I was that age?" Or something like that, those people should get off of the hub and have sympathy for the victim.
From males yes.. males are really their own biggest enemy, as per.
so many guys on this website have had worse accusations & actually met up to fuck girls/groomed children sexually/manipulated them with suicide and arent in jail. All she did was talk inappropriate in a group chat & never tried to bone kids jesus.
ps. you can blame MEN for that attitude toward it not WOMEN. Men will be like "wish that was my teacher" women actually take male abuse seriously. So it's guys fault that the system is how it is.
Oh yeah that double standard is so insane
@@gabe_motherboard3355Right? When I see female predators like teachers doing stuff with their minor students I don’t cheer them on I look in disgust because I was almost groomed and I never want anyone to actually go through that.
“We’re evolving, backwards” can be demonstrated by the declining quality of RUclips apologies. From Logan Paul, to many others, to Colleen, ending with Jirard the Completionist’s charity scandal. It’s a straight downhill chart.
Don't forget about EDP445. His two-year-late apology was followed almost immediately by 'the cupcake incident 2.0'. 😂
Literally :(
@@harrybest2041 There’s so much RUclips nonsense this year that I did forget about that…
Those who do not know history are doomed to repeat it.
That ukulele solo hit different on mute.💀
And what’s worse my mom STILL watches her and doesn’t believe the allegations.
Oof
@@kobra4422 I'd ask for a neuropsych consult just to be sure that she doesn't have some neurodegenerative disease, myself, because yikes.
@@kobra4422I don't think it has to do with age
Just wether or not how familiar they are
Likely in denial. Some people go into denial mode. She'll come around eventually to the truth
Oh dear lord. I am so sorry for you.
“My 14 years old daughter and me (are missing you)”?!! Is she handing her child to a groomer? We have an even bigger issue there
call me a conspiracy theorist, but the ukulele "apology" video was probably intentionally done, in the way that it was done, with the sole purpose of pulling away the attention of everything else she's done and focus the attention elsewhere, and by the looks of it it worked perfectly in her favor
You dont need an instrument for that
The Pauls just cry...
And they both make YT money, so they dont give a fuck
Fr all everyone talked about was the ukulele and not the horrendous accusations
What you described has nothing to do with conspiracy theories……….
Female predators rarely face consequences, but yall aint ready to talk about that double standard
@@kobra4422 That's only a very recent shift and even then only on the internet, though. Ever since always before it's been like exactly that one South Park episode with the female teacher and 3 year old boy.
Men and women are different, the standards are always gonna be a little different.
It's likely always going to be that way.
Tbh I'm a little confused what she did exactly - she was inappropriately communicating with a teenage boy online and she shared publicly available images of a public figure in a private chat?
I mean sure she's a degenerate - but what are people expecting to happen to her exactly?
A 37 year old sent used underwear to an eleven year old, as a “special favor”
Why are we talking about dislike ratios rather than prison terms?
Because it was a woman and not a man.
Fun fact Colleen; Singing is still saying things since you're still producing words with it!
Calling her “RUclips’s biggest creep” is a bold statement-
I don’t think there’s any single biggest creep on RUclips, a platform that can give an audience to anyone
She's pretty high, in terms of reach, of audience, and of having previously done bad things to said audience. She's like an EDP that kids actually watch.
Did ya ll forget shane dawson?
i mean there’s been youtubers that literally murdered people and others that have actually physically assaulted people, or some that documented their own abusive behavior. i dont want to compare situations but the “biggest creep” is definitely a stretch compared to all the other shit we have seen.
she’s still a fuckin weirdo though, she doesnt deserve a platform at all.
I think everyone just laughed at her apology, but then no one actually did anything else
All it took was one ukelele to quite litterally destroy this woman, its disgusting how she stands loud and proud like npthing ever happened!
So... Basically by doing something absurd that nobody expected allowed her to escape conviction.
Unless the cops were involved she wouldn’t have been convicted of anything.
Either way, she would've escaped. If she did a regular apology then only drama channels would cover it and less people would know she's a groomer. If she did the funny ukulele everyone would see it but get focused on the ukulele and not the groomer actions
No.
YT just dont care.
How is this so hard
You need evidence to convict someone. Random allegations here and there aren't gonna cut it lol.
Cancel culture doesn't cancel anyone. If anything in todays world people get paid for being horrible.
People have a short attention span.
You’re only as cancelled as your bank account
Only good ppl get cancelled evil ones dont
I feel like a lot of people actually forget that a lot of Colleen's viewers on her vlog channel are mostly parents and children now. And that's why a lot of her fans don't care about that whole situation. So, thank you for addressing and explaining it
It's not the small kids' fault, but parents who still praise and adore her: shame on them.
@@laurewinkelmans9501 oh absolutely 💯 I agree
@@laurewinkelmans9501I’m assuming most of them are too busy to care or even know about internet drama. So most probably don't know the extent of it, or even that anything happened.
Almost like 80% of people were just drama hungry and didn’t actually care about what she did. What a shocker
_"Every nation has the government it deserves"_ ~ Joseph de Maistre
Because when they were kids in school they were not taught how to confront situations like this because nobody knew then that people like this are real and that they are out there.
@@Yatukih_001 it goes beyond schooling though. I’m not trying to defend Coleen here, but there is undeniably a large crowd of people that just look for “who’s next” when it comes to drama/cancelling and they don’t actually care about what it is they did.
@@Yatukih_001 well yeah, nobody taught me about "grooming" at school. I knew a lot of manipulation in context of marketing strategies and stuff, but grooming was completely ignored topic and I learned abt only after 2020 from youtube. So many kids would be saved if grooming was explained at school. But it'd make people too much empowered and goverment doesn't want this. They want puppets.
That why there are so many videos. They just needed content and money.
Not only is she getting away with it but what is this telling people who are just as bad as her? Things like this don't just exist on a vacuum on RUclips they affect entire culture and the normalization of predatory behavior. Hate it.
I find it disturbing how sexism can distort people on who and who isn't a predatory monster. Because they don't want to admit women can be just as creepy, grooming and pedophilic as men. And the fact she's a mother too makes this shit so much worse in my opinion.
I'll never understand why female groomers get away so easy.
Like there was a furry groomer who even admitted to r wording a person, the victim took her apology and all her friends acted like nothing happened.
Cases like this and in the video just show that there's smth really wrong in society and it's scary!
@@emilithia yep,
Because simps.
Because of feminism
@@dylanbarracks3509 no that's not the reason
It’s because people coddle women too much even though men, women and others are all EQUAL and should be TREATED AS SUCH. People open the door for women all the time, and I respect that, but why can’t you do the same for EVERYONE? It’s because of this that people never hold them accountable for their actions in fear of sounding sexist, even though holding people accountable for their actions IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO, REGARDLESS OF GENDER.
Her absurd response is what got her off, people ended up caring more about the stupid response than her grooming allegations.
Yes, that's what she said in this video
Yea i think its because its way funnier to joke and meme about,
Personally, I never heard of Colleen until her "apology" was released. It's a shame that she was able to gain views and comments from one stupid video, and hide the truth of her sexually grooming children from her main audience of mother's and children
She knew this would happen. She knew she could get away with it from a social standpoint. The victims need to take legal action.
It might he fear keeping it from happening. I'd know! But it is a shame she got away with all this.
This disgust me! As a man myself the fact that this women has got away with literal child grooming, because her victims were MALE, is disgusting! Why is it that when a female is groomed, sexually assaulted etcetera, it is the worst thing ever but when the same thing happens to a male it is seen as hardly an offence! Why are men and women treated differently like this?! And I hate when the agresser plays the roll of the victum. A fricken 30 year old is playing victim agenst litteral children! I can't belive she just got away because she played an "apology" on a fricken ukulele! Disguising!
She's lost me as a fan the moment that I saw the clips of the reoccurring segment of her live show, where she has a very young boy reach down her pants to get a snack on stage. Absolutely unacceptable. Her inability to apologize for anything is astounding. Truly unbelievable.
@@kobra4422 (smiles)
Those clips have been up on RUclips for over a decade.
So your little story doesn't add up.
She did WHAT!?
@@Kevin_Kennelly This person could be an adult, or simply just not seen it when it was released. Not everyone knows about drama as soon as it starts. Not trying to start an argument, just sharing a possible explanation.
@@Kevin_KennellySo she stopped being a fan a decade ago?? What doesn't add up? It makes sense to me
Her song, Toxic Gossip Train, was purposefully catchy because she just wanted to trick us into believing her.
Everyone is focussed on Dream. Which is interesting because his guilt was never fully proven and he actually managed to provide a lot of proof of his innocence, which just shows that the internet cares more about drama and publicity than actual victims or crimes. Dreams mistake was actually interacting, arguing and constantly trying to prove his innocence, thus escalating the drama and giving his haters more reason to hate and escalate.
Meanwhile Colleen, who is evidently guilty without a doubt, got away because she simply didn't give a shit, turning the whole thing into a joke and meme with her brain-dead apology video
That and plus, he's a man. As stated in the video, people will take the accusations of his more seriously.
@@seanprice6049the amount of men who have gotten away with grooming is crazy they really dont have it harder lol
Isn't the dream allegations turning into be actually true?
@@TheFlopped2979 everything was proved wrong in his response video
@@slackagent1904 I still don't trust him tbh. I've seen too much evidence against him and his frantic nature is weird to me
the entire situation reminds me of the end of Bojack Horseman, where after a while everyone forgets how bad of a person he was except for the people closest to him
Yeah, very true.
What's happened with her is almost uncannily similar to what's happened with Shane Dawson - although the majority of people agree he should be cancelled and stay cancelled, he's still making videos like nothing has happened and people are slowly "forgetting" about what he's done 😖
This is why I think D'Angelo should've never deleted his video on Shane Dawson. Sure, it was supportive of James Charles (who also ended up being terrible), but it could've easily been edited/written out, and it wasn't relevant to the video.
@@kobra4422 Can't believe I'm sending you in that direction but "Anonymous does not forget" is what works in this case: Google "Shane Dawson KiwiFarms". Warnings for edgelords flinging slurs like chimps on xanax fling poop, because KF is a terrible place, but if you need to know what messed up things someone has done, always ask the farms. They will obsessively compile EVERYTHING they can find and document as much of it as they can.
Though in this case they seem to not have archived someone saying that Shane used to have a "party trick" of french-kissing other people's dogs so if nothing else I feel very suspicious about what he's doing to his dogs, that's not normal behavior and I'm tired of zoos on youtube.
@@yeeyeeyeeyehe deleted it?!?!?!?! WTF DANGELO
@@yeeyeeyeeye It supported James Charles because he is like James Charles. Those kind of people stick together.
I saw everyone making fun of the "Toxic gossip train", but I didn't know anything about the actual situation until later. What she said in her video happens to people but not her. She deserved what she got (and legal action in my opinion) from the "big hubbub". I honestly think she made the ukulele video to distract from what she actually did. It worked on me for awhile so it probably worked on a lot more people. Not really sure if that made sense. Thanks for the video and I love your channel. Have a good day.
You're totally right on this one.
In a sense it is a part of her team's strategy if it successfully diverted your attention away from the actual allegations.
You could say that it is Miranda's way of distracting us from the real life problems, _just as she usually did._
On top of that most people didn't know who she was. I didn't know she was rhe same person as Miranda sings until this happened and it was via the ukulele "apology"
I deadass didn't know what was going on and had to look into it.
It's like how when certain things happen it distracts people from something they were focused on and so they move on to the next thing. Cause right after her someone else was getting called out for predatory behavior and another for other shit. And at rhe same time the sssniperwolf stuff.
People are all over the place and the internet doesn't ruminate on one person long enough anymore to do anything legally. People literally forget and move on and that's what she wanted people to do with her.
I didn't know what her allegations were I just knew she did something stupid and that's why the ukulele thing was stupid. That's all u knew at first. I thought maybe she said a slur or was rude to someone. Nope find out she's a predator
I knew she existed from Wreck-it-Ralph, but not much else. And I certainly didn't know she was a creep until a few months ago.
But she cuts her hairs!
That must count, right?
God I hate how people have such a short memory
"I wasn't doing well, I was really scared and paranoid and I was having bad panic attacks"
*OHH BOOHOO, LET ME PRESS F ON THE WORLD'S SMALLEST KEYBOARD* 🥺🥺🥺
I think it's worth mentioning that she decided to come back right before RUclips would take away her monetization. I forgot where I heard this from, but they did say she came back just before 5 months. So that other apology video was made just so she can stay monetized, so of course she's not sincere.
Edit: I finally figured who said it. It was Adam McIntyre. And it's 6 months when RUclips takes away your monetization, not 5 months, as he stated. So I was wrong.
i mean she very clearly came back because she's running out of money. she basically said she can't afford to renovate her house. stopping posts entirely is effectively quitting her job so she'll never do that even if morally she should
The monetisation thing is relatively dubious, as it isn't a certain "we'll strip monetisation after six months," but it does seem convenient for it to happen right as the peak earnings season for influencers kicks off. It would be absurd to insist that there can't be a financial motivation behind the timing of her return.
There’s a pretentious commentary content creator called Papa Gut who said that Colleen wasn’t actually grooming kids and that what she did really wasn’t as bad as people make it out to be. He used to be really big on calling out channels run by sexual predators, but apparently he doesn’t mind if the predator is a woman. Pretty gross.
He’s right though. Acting like shes committed some crime. Her being a women has nothing to do with it
@LeftEagle51012 I think you'll find that redistributing someone else's porn very much _is_ criminal.
It's so sad that most humans tend to judge someone based on appearance alone. Also, Merry Christmas to you, Savantics.
People broke EDP’s life and went out of their way to, and let Colleen break through. Not defending EDP, he’s awful, but still
EDP and Colleen Balinger, The Cupcake duo!
Well EDP is a guy and Colleen is a female so...
@@antikommunistischaktion sad but true
exactly, made this point in another thread. With EDP people went past making him take accountability to just being awful and hateful, and it makes one wonder how people rationalized doing that to him but not any of the other pedophiles RUclips gave a platform. Not to make it a race thing but i think the combination of being black and male [and not a ‘bony-backed’ white woman] played into it somewhat.
@@deweyr_fisher even if he’s a pedo, he deserves a job to stay afloat. He’s still a human being, a bad one.
Did Trisha not sue her? It's clearly stated on every creator's page on that wind machine site, that distribution of those paywalled pictures is forbidden by law. And someone like Trisha Paytas surely has the money to set a gaggle of lawyers on Colleen.
It reminds me of when James Charles got called out for sending explicit photos and messages to minors l mean he was cancelled for a little bit and was demonetised on RUclips but when it had all blown over he started uploading and making money again, it would be nice if creators were actually held accountable when they commit literal crimes (especially towards minors) but it unfortunately doesn’t happen which is very concerning
The part that upsets me is that I actually forgave her… I take that forgiveness back💀
Falling for manipulation happens to the best of us
As long as you condemn her _now,_ that is good.
How isn't she in prison? She did so many illegal things (she looks like The Vegan teacher's daughter lol)
Female privilege.
Because *_W O M E N._* Remember that one South Park episode tackling on this subject (can't remember it right now)? It's the exact same thing.
@@mekingtiger9095At least put her in prison for sharing someone else's nudes without consent I'm 99% that's a crime
@@mekingtiger9095 has nothing to do with being female. there so many guys who have been pedos on this platform not in jail. See Miniladd.
Because the bigger a fan - base a person like her has, the harder it is to expose her and to warn others. Just remember to stay clear of channels with people who play alternate roles with questionable behaviour and then act as if those roles are not them.
Truth is nobody cares about sex crimes when the perpetrator is a woman.

Pretty much unfortunately
I'm not surprised, when it comes down to female predators they usually are able to get away with it espically when they have money like colleen does, its a digsuting double standard because we ALL know if colleen was a man she would have been removed from the site and probably arrested by now
Except Miniladd who is a male predator and even admitted to it is still on this platform and not arrested for grooming a minor. But yea its just a mess and sad youtube is just letting these people on the site still especially since their fans are still young
What do you mean? I know I've seen a lot of male predators also get away with similar or worse it's not about male or female quite simply predators can get away with stuff much more easier when it's over the internet
@@lycandoodle i was adding a comment to your last part saying that there have been male predators that get away with things that colleen has done or worse and are still able to make money on the site.
Im aware when it comes to predators, doesn't matter what gender they are, they should be punished imo. I was just pointing out on your last comment that even if colleen was a man, they would still find a way to get out of trouble. Its been an ongoing issue on youtube which allows them to still have a platform to make money
@@lycandoodle Weird, tho. How does one explain EDP, then?
@@mekingtiger9095 EDP was a special situation. Not only was he caught in the act of meeting up a minor, but he didn't have as much of an influence as someone like Colleen does.
I used to keep very up-to-date with Colleen's problematicness since around Thanksgiving 2021, but for the past 4 months I really haven't.
I did see she came back though and that she said she kept doing the vlogs "for herself" during her break, which to me was kind of disappointing since I think her kids need a break from the camera.
i didnt even know she had kids what
" mothers sick together " is basically her commitments 💀💀
nobody gets to tell me cancel culture is a real tangible thing when people like colleen can just ignore being "canceled"
Lindsey Ellis though
Cancel culture is bullying good ppl while evil ones be uneffected
Really makes you think that the only RUclipsrs that have done actions like this and has had their channel taken down was EDP and LowTierGod. REALLY makes you wonder what RUclips staff think about those channels certain types of content creators.
Colleen didnt go to meet underaged kids to fuck tho.
It fills me with absolute disbelief and rage that people have just forgiven her even after the horrible things that she has done. I feel like people have literally lost their minds to forgive and pity her even though everyone knows full well what she has done now.
Yeah, there are far more talented RUclipsrs they could watch, but no.
btw, just fyi. like and dislike makes no difference to YT/Algo. Each is simply a net positive in engagement.
so say you have videoA with 900 thumb up and 100 thumb down, and VideoB with 100 thumb up, and 900 thumb down. Algo sees both as having 1000 in the "thumb rating" department. There is no direct effect otherwise. (this was at one point in google's own document) At the end of the day it cares about one thing "Does this video keep user on the platform longer? does it attract more users?", if answer is yes, It cares not whether you like it or not. It might be actively trying to change to other directions such as randomly polling users regarding some video they just watched. I don't know exactly how they are using this data. My guess is it is to better match user with videos they would engage with.
Just a guess (not really), to a top tier YT designer / decision maker, the goal is NOT "lets match viewer with videos they like the most", the goal is "lets match user with videos they're likely to watch the most", which could be very positive videos, or very negative emotionally charged videos. (if you watch say a negative video about current state of some sad affair, and you get more depressed and you press the DISLIKE button, you leave a harsh comment, it suddenly recommends you more such videos of similar type, because you've shown great interest and engagement. It doesn't care if it's good or bad for your mental health or if such recommendation paints a wholesome or warped picture, it certainly doesn't care if you pressed liked or disliked, just that you pressed something. A quick side point, look at Colleen, because of that apology video, and now this video, she will get more views, engagement, monetary compensation and so on. Unless something extreme (like Cosby level), no attention is bad attention. - insert that trite adage about publicity here*.
There is a reason it's such a common saying. Your attention = money and energy, that's it. Justin Bieber's net worth risen like crazy during the era where he is the most hated artist. Kardashians (enough said), Logan Paul (got famous from suicide forest video) leveraged it to w/e at some point (What he has is still more 10x what the avg person would make their entire life), which does take some E/Q. Just keep think about people that is super "well off", and you'll see the only common denominator is amount of attention, irrelevant to positive or negative ones. They don't call this attention driven economy for nothing. Right now if you were to check the analytics graph, after that apology video her chart went through the roof for sure. Every meme, every critic video, is a crap tons of people flooding her channel leave angry comments and thumb downs, all translating to $$$$ and more engagement and higher ranking.
Exactly. Eugenia Clooney is the perfect example of it. She gets mostly negative attention and still gets viral. YT doesn't care abt anybody's mental health lol. Folks should understand this and stop try to "teach Colleen a lesson" by leaving negative comments.
Im genuinely at a loss
I want to see her jailed, but i cant do anything from here. Im sure theres a lot of people that want the same, but not enough to where anything can actually be done
But most people are just looking for drama to scarf down and move on
I gave a multi-platform perma-block though.
I hate how people just let her slide after that ukelele “apology”
If EDP lost everything, including his RUclips for the SAME reasons, why isn't Colleen recieving the same treatment after there was ACTUAL PROOF too? She isn't even taking responsibility for her actions and even tries to joke about it on a ukulele.
R@ping a child and grooming isn't the same though the last is bad too
@@kobra4422she doesnt deserve a platform, no matter if its "not as bad" she needs to leave forever
There is something concerning about how dangerous of people popular RUclipsrs can be behind the scenes...
I would not assume that the parents don't know about her messed up stuff. I remember back when she was viewed in a much better light, way before she was called out for her predatory behavior, the clip with the boy reaching her pants had dozens and dozens of comments of mothers laughing at it like it was a harmless joke (i even had few replying to me in the same comments that i can't take a joke). So parents probably know, it's just that they can't fathom that someone like Colleen, who pretty much has a uwu soft mom image, is capable of horrid stuff.
This is just strengthening my belief that humans need a license to breed to prove they won't be "I huff glue sticks and stick legos up my nose" levels of stupid on parenting.
Welcome to the internet. Its more of everything going by so fast, new trends or drama and people cant keep up. I havent heard about the sniperwolf doxxing situation for awhile
Someone in my life is still an avid watcher, and it makes me sick how Colleen has managed to brainwash people like her. She'll literally mention Colleen casually in conversations like she's a friend of hers, and whenever I try to explain how Colleen is problematic, she doesn't respond.
You should be more adamant explaining it! Tell her louder. You may have to be a bit annoying about it. When she starts talking about Colleen, just go "I don't want to hear you talk about her because she is a creep" and explain yourself! Don't give up. I believe in you!
Though I’m not like an avid viewer or anything I really appreciate what you said. The fact that you brought it back to light when at least I myself figured she would never come back. Even though there was a sort of depressing tone at the end of the video your words are appreciated and thoughtful, the victims deserve justice and the sole fact that this isn’t an extremely popular topic yet you still made a video about it is commendable because that just isn’t common. Much love for the video and thank you for letting those of us who didn’t know, know now that not only is she back but she is not a sympathetic figure!
No way she got away with that "apology"
My grandmother plays the ukulele and even she'd be ashamed.
She know what she’s doing. People still loving her are the problem.
I hope her kids are safe.
They're not. They're living with her after all.
I will say, the original video was FILLED with support in the comments. It was honestly a little shocking, because what I saw, most of them were the mothers who support her now. It’s really rough.
she deleted the comments that criticized her
she deletes all of the comments that criticize her. that's why when you look at the comments supporting her they all have no replies. she deletes them all
It indeed feels very progressive to call a woman a big creep
Both Colleen and Sssniperwolf are getting away with serious things or getting off lightly.
If a man did the exact same things they would be held accountable.
It’s amazing what our society has gotten to.
idk why y’all are tryna say it’s double standards when they’re are both equally amount of male & female predators walking around us everyday.
@gottaluvdd that's not what they mean. We're aware of that. The issue is that RUclips and people online tend to favor women even though they committed the same crime. It happens with divorce situations too. Not always but currently with youtube specifically that's part of it but not the soul reason. Sssniperwolf makes a lot for youtube and they only demonitized her for a short bit. No other punishment. She didn't do as worse as Colleen but she doxxed someone, and quite a few other things that breaks youtube guidelines that she should have been banned for.
Exactly what I mean both of them should be banned from RUclips.
Oh please! First of all, people are (rightfully) outraged at Colleen! Second of all, there are so, SO many male creeps who don't get a fraction of the attention she's getting. I can't stand this "But if it was a man, everyone would freak out :'(" narrative. Men get away with this sht ALL THE TIME. Quit acting like we've fixed the system for women and rigged it against men. That is not the same.
“Biggest creep” is a stretch though
Also! She's skinny, and bc ppl most of the times portray creeps and pedos as fat and obese, everyone is willing to forget her being a creep bc making fun of her for it isn't as fun when you don't get to be fatphobic towards her.
You left out the biggest part of the stereotype.

Yeah that’s not why lmao
@@Lucien_M Yes
it's annoying how people treat these controversies like they're just inconsequential drama that people can gawk at for a bit then ultimately move on to the next thing when it's not popular anymore. like, it's not some high school gossip she literally committed a crime.
The small clip of her talking about panic attacks already grinded my gears.
"I had really bad panic attacks. Like, not the other kind of panic attacks"
Excuse me, what...
Panic attacks are always terrible, awful, and terrifying in itself. What other panic attacks are there that she is comparing with?
just like in meat canyon's parody song, "don't worry time heals the soul, ya misdeeds will only get old..."
I won't say "she got away" just yet. Karma is a bitch, it will come back and stab her in the back when she's least expecting it. Right now Colleen must be thinking that she got away with it, her fans still support her, and in a few months things will all go back to normal...and just when she thought she can move on, BAM. I bet something is going to happen.
You're right! It might take a while until karma would catch up to her, but like you said, it will bite her face eventually. And hopefully these young kids will be grounded and banned from RUclips for a while, until they'll be mature enough which is right and wrong.
Hope and pray, boys. Hope and pray.
it seems to either be an audience, company, or both who seemingly don't act/don't keep up. We are flooded with news 24/7, the 'drama' keeps on flowing non-stop. it's no wonder that the internet (generalizing here) kind of just moves on to the next thing.
Mini Ladd, Colleen, Shane Dawson, Yandere Dev, etc are all examples of creeps and pedos getting away with everything because laws aren't strict enough about Internet crimes against children. It happened to me too and another girl. We were groomed by a guy 7 years older than me when I was 13 and she was 12. She got out of the relationship at 16 while I stayed in it til adulthood. I only knew about her because she reached out to me with evidence of her story. I finally broke up with him and 2 days before my 21st birthday I finally had the courage to report him to the police after being told by so many people "move on" "it wasn't a big deal" *you'll ruin his life" "it's your fault". Because of the Statute of limitations in Texas, I would've had to report him at 16 for my groomer to be arrested. I will never get justice. That other girl won't get justice and thousands of other people like us will NEVER see groomers and pedos locked up because laws aren't strict enough. We have to live with the trauma and fear everyday that they're grooming other minors in more secret to not get caught again because the laws won't serve justice. It's a nightmare that'll never end and even though therapy and having loved ones to talk to helps, it'll never take the fear or trauma away.
these guys know that if u take time off and come back the heat will died down a lot of “cancelled” youtubers do this and come back with a loyal fanbase , its almost like a science
They're relying on their fans to only listen to what they say and not what anyone else does, which is especially easy if most of your audience is adoring children. They're not going to think to go out of their way to watch a video criticizing their favorite RUclipsrs. Collen stops uploading? Well her fans just won't be watching anything Colleen related until she does. Colleen comes back and then she can twist the story however she wants.
Cough cough Shane Dawson
Monthly savantics uploads keep me going
I really hope more people keep talking about this!
lets be real if a male creator would’ve done those things the aftermath would be so different
Agreed, we’ve seen this for EDP445’s case.
Her lips are upsetting to me
Thank you for speaking out about this. RUclips has been actually slacking lately when it comes to punishing bad creators
You are so right! This is disturbing and she should still be held accountable! 😡
So, RUclips (presumably) made Leafy's channel tank for the first time, then straight up nuked it when he came back for being an edgy troll, while keeps a child groomer and a doxxer live in the air as if was nothing...
Reminder that back then RUclips wasn't owned by advertisers yet and Google hadn't dropped their "do no evil" slogan.
It’s worth noting that if her likes:views ratio is the same as it was before WHILE she’s going through a dislike bomb, it means 1 of 2 things, either her original fan base never left, or she’s paying for bot upvotes
The fact she’s a mother worries me more
Great to see you're still making videos
SHE CANT KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH IT!
