I'm actually so tired of "He doesn't owe us anything" even though I agree and have said it myself. I'm pretty sure everyone here knows that but that doesn't mean we can't be upset when his business decisions seem a little unethical, especially when you consider his target audience with the...

Then, while writing this (sitting at my desk at work because who needs to actually be productive,) the thought came to mind that mostly likely not a single person who has posted a negative opinion here is curled up into an angry ball crying over the immense betrayal of their favorite YouTuber danis...

I'll be here cheering once that project finally drops as well but at the same time I'm just so fed up. It took him two years to design a candle, some nail polish and a shirt? Okay? And I'm also sceptical about how his schedules keep not working out. I can understand that happening with BIG but BIG w...

You know, I don't really care at this point. Maybe he is working on another big, wonderful project but if each project takes him months to finish, I don't see how this will work out in the long run. And I'm so not down with this weird "It's supposed to be a surprise" thing. Like I said in ...

Listen, I actually do think Dan sees this stuff as more than merch. But it just isn't. It's merch and it's not even that original. I could probably get all of these things at any H&M for less money. That ain't it. And yes, I think it's really cool how the dress is unisex and that he models it as...

The smattering of activity (chum in the water) before a merch drop seems a bit too textbook even by Dan’s standards—maybe I’m giving him too much credit (or perhaps being wishful), but I wonder if he’s well aware of the backlash and is having a nice big laugh because he plans to drop a video along ...

This is what I meant when I said "performative" but manipulative is the better word for it.

Please don't take this the wrong way, I'm having trouble phrasing what I mean right now, but I'm getting a bit tired of Dan's comments like the one under Olly's tweet. On one hand more power to him because he's expressing his queer identity freely and that's so important. But on the other hand it fe...

Listen, this video combined a lot of my interests in a way I didn't know I wanted them to be combined. I loved it. Edit: I love horror stuff but there's something about Stephen King books and films that freaks me out so bad so the clips from the movie he showed where actually the scariest part of th...

I know some people will say something about how he's 'working on it' and while I do like to believe that he's working on something... why would someone need to work on literally anything to become an activist/advocate? Especially when they already have a platform to do that with? A few tweets and l...

I get that being frustrated by the seeming radio silence from them (Dan) sucks. I would love more content from him, always. But I think it's a little harsh, especially the part I put in bold, to assume that they're just sitting around. Idk, I think it's okay to assume this since Dan is not communic...

I love one man.

Edit, because I just thought of it: I always used to like his weirder videos from way back when and this kind of has that vibe a bit and I hope he does stuff like this more often again, it suits him so well.

All I wanted is for them to acknowledge that thousands of people were celebrating them as creators and entertainers. Yes, maybe the date was chosen by the fans, but how big of a deal would it have been to tweet something along the lines of "Thank you for all the lovely messages in #10yearsofda...

I'm actually pretty disappointed that they didn't acknowledge the date at all. So many fans wrote lovely messages and made beautiful fan art and they didn't join the celebration of their careers at all. God knows when Phil recorded that clip on for Instagram, it could have been days ago. The power ...

For some reason I always forget how much I love Thomas's videos and just...don't watch them, despite really enjoying every single one that I do watch. :shrug: Oh, same. I love him but I usually binge his videos every few months and then I forget about him until next time. Huh. I used to follow him ...

(a very petty and ultimately non consequential aside: im kind of an oscar wilde stan , and actually, he adopted an english accent at oxford. also, multiple accounts claimed he spoke in kind of a sing-songy, articulate voice (people dug this all up to prove whether or not an alleged recording was ac...

maybe i'm just being optimistic but i do think it's possible we'll get an acknowledgment of the 19th. it doesn't have to have anything to do with their romantic relationship. they met 10 years ago on that day. we know. they know. they know we know. i wouldn't be surprised with something along the l...

She does so much research, it's hard to believe she missed this At the risk of sounding petty but I'm starting to question how well she researches her topics. As I've said before, she called Oscar Wilde English. You just have to Wikipedia him to find out he was in fact Irish and why it's not cool t...

The context is important and I'm really not sure what the context is anymore because he did also tweet that stuff about Dan and Phil recently. But if the tweet was about those DMs, I do get the aggressive tone. What a horrible situation. I do wish Evan and his friends would stop mentioning D&P a...

I think this is a totally valid and valuable conversation to have within fandom, but I don't see this at all in the original tweet? I had no idea who Noah is (The Evan connection is dodgy) and I didn't see any of his previous tweets so that probably made me read the tweet in question differently. I...

To me, even mentioning "teenage girls" seems like it must be rooted in misogyny, because if you think people are doing something wrong/creepy, why would it be worse if they're teenage girls than anyone else? Even if someone mistakenly thinks that the phandom (or another fandom, if they're...

I absolutely agree but also: That guy has a point. Fetishisation of gay people is not okay and it's a problem in fandoms. It has happened in the phandom because it happens in every fandom. And I'm honestly not really okay with the "It's just teenage girls having fun" defence because at wh...

Basically he's a trans man but his ideas enforce the gender binary a lot and he has been known to exclude nonbinary people from trans spaces. If you look at his Twitter, his opinions speak for themselves. He's also quite problematic in other ways: He outed Lana Wachowski for instance, he's apparentl...
