No, don't worry, I understood how you meant it. I just felt like having that option written down as well would be a good thing because it was the first thing that popped into my mind when I read your and rizzo's posts. I think their different approaches to living their gay identities after coming ou...

I know a lot of the differences in them come down to personality and I'm not ignoring that. But I also wonder if Phil ever got to experience what Dan is experiencing now, or if by the time he came out 'keeping it lowkey' was so embedded into who he is that loudly celebrating it was just a phase of ...

I think Dan's tweets are genuine but I also think he's joking and it's not that deep. A lot of people with mental illness talk about their normal day to day struggles with mental health in the way he does because basically we've learned people will worry if we don't make light even if it's not that ...

I think it's both. Mostly because Dan hasn't been completely off Youtube since BIG. He had a small part in Contra's video and he did that Shakespeare charity thing. Granted, he might have just done those because he likes those creators and didn't want to miss the chance to work with them or somethin...

To be clear: I don't like it. But I understand it. Yeah, that's where I'm at too. Like I said a few days ago, they always had the "best friends" thing to hide behind. It was the official story and it let them be close and a bit intimate on camera without having to explain it too much or h...

That said, Phil, why did you delete the liveshow from your tumblr?!?! How could you!! I was out! Drinking my depression away!! And I couldn't watch!! Just wanted to see you be pretty why did you take it off tumblr WHY PHIL. God I hope he will upload it on youtube, he was on his phone all close and ...

If Dan's just doing his thing in LA it's not really on Phil to tell us about it when Dan won't, I guess. I guess he could have said that Dan's in LA and he's alone or something but why would he, we know. I wanna know how long Dan will stay in LA and what he even went there for as much as the next pe...

Also yes we get urban foxes all over the place. I live in an English suburb and we have them walking around brazen like a bloody pet cat sometimes. And they make ultra loud horrible mating noises which sounds like a baby crying, very disturbing. The noises they make are so creepy. When I first got ...

If Phil were to write a book with all his weird university stories, I'd buy it so fast... Loved the video. I like that his Bob Ross painting was in the background, beautiful choice. And I loved that he revisited the badger prank, I loved that so much back then.

I'm gonna be that person real quick, but... can Dan act? I only know his voice acting and didn't think it was too good. Like, not bad but also not very good. I've never imagined Dan as an actor and I'm having a hard time imagining it now but maybe he's really good at it and I just never realised.

Wait, I'm confused. Do we know Dan was at CBS or are we just assuming he was because Fleur was? Because that could be a coincidence and I don't want to speculate without knowing for sure.

I thought Laura also did the art for his pajamas? The glitch hoodie could be random but it’s strange that there was no explanation for it and that he just dropped it out of the blue. Oh yes, of course. I totally forgot about those. I think what's weird about the glitch hoodie is that it's not reall...

I'd like a Dan/Anthony collab. That emo video they made together was a piece of art. I don't think Dan will film anything in LA though, it would be weird for him to avoid his own and Phil's channel for months and then have his Youtube comeback on someone else's channel. Unless of course he doesn't c...

Yes, I don't blame you. I don't even really blame her because she seems to have a very personal relationship with his work that means a lot to her. I just wish people would look beyond what she said and see the whole picture before they decide if they want to support him. In the end I just hope ever...

Maybe those anons were people involved in planning/booking the trip. Their fans are everywhere so I don't think it's unlikely that phandom members might have heard about this trip and couldn't keep it to themselves, lol. It's happened before, we just tend to not believe these people because too many...

It's not something I would normally mention here but if you haven't checked out nikkietutorials coming out video I'd really recommend it. While her hand being forced by people trying to out her is awful, I'm glad she addressed it because I'm sure so many people in the public eye face the same situa...

Listen, if they killed the gaming channel just to play games seperately I don't know what I'll do. (Cry probably.)

I would laugh and cry if he took his twitch off followers only mode by mistake :') and there's all this speculation for nothing. Ah well, only time will tell. lmao i think this is exactly what's happening and peeps are already either crying of excitement at the idea of twitch streams, crying over t...

I watched it the other night and there seemed little for her to actually apologise for. Buck Angel’s attitudes about things particularly seem to have been misunderstood somehow, unless I’m forgetting something He's still deepy problematic and I don't think we should be going around redeeming him. H...

What is a tortured artist? How do we know if someone is "playing that card" or if they...really....suffered? Unless I am misunderstanding the use of the phrase? Tortured Artist trope is that belief that you have to suffer to make good art. As a creative person I absolutely hate it. Like, ...

So what are the chances Dan is writing a book and his withdrawal from YouTube and dwindling audience engagement is meant to be fodder for a memoir-esque account of his personal journey before and after BIG? One would think he could muse in depth on living his adult life in (relative) fame and how t...

I don't want to get into this again, we've been negative for long enough now. I just wanna remind everyone that most of us are unhappy with Dan's lack of communication, not with his absence per se. Knowing the reasons for his absence won't change that. And while I think this topic is important and I...

If he wants to step away, that's fine. I agree with everything dizzy said above. But if he leaves without even some communication about leaving, I don't want him back when he has something to sell to me. That sounds harsh but it's just how I feel. If he needs space away from the spotlight and from s...

So, picking up on a line of thought from the last thread— is there consensus (or majority sentiment) that Dan essentially has his audience in time-out or—to put it another way—is he withholding content and updates as a sort of punitive response as a result of some of the community backlash he’s bee...

Why would Dan edit another youtuber's video? With the way he is avoiding it like the plague? Yeah, this. Why would they say they're not a joint brand anymore and then edit each other's stuff, it would make no sense. (Not that they've made a lot of sense lately, but anyways.) And also, like, give Ph...
