I guess the thing that makes me sad is the frequency of outright threats that people would stop being Dan and Phil fans if they turned out not to be together . Because Dan and Phil have been lying or something despite them repeatedly denying being together. You can only imagine the havoc which woul...

I think a bit of fun shipping confined to Wattpad and Ao3 is one thing but... I guess the thing that makes me sad is the frequency of outright threats that people would stop being Dan and Phil fans if they turned out not to be together. Because Dan and Phil have been lying or something despite them ...

All of this talk about what would make you believe they are together kinda got me thinking. Like, what would make you believe they weren't together? Most of the Phandom (including me) ships thems and/or believes they're together. But sometimes I wonder, what if they're not lying and they really are...

I think if they were a man and the woman I'd go the other way and be more likely to believe they weren't together. They might not be saying the words with quite as much bark as they did in the days when Dan compared giving Phil a blowjob as being as a repulsive idea to him as performing oral sex on...

'Calm your flaps' is basically a cruder version of 'calm your tits'. Lol I have a friend who uses it all the time. I suspect Dan qualified them as 'non gender specific' because not all of his fans are female. I don't really see what's wrong with Dan maybe wanting some male followers (he is male hims...

My thoughts exactly. I've always had a theory that Dan and Phil get lot of views for more than their videos or personalities. Don't get me wrong, I think they'd still be successful if they were open about these things, but not as much. People want to look for hints about their sexuality/relationshi...

I remember back to my house sharing days and it was a bigger deal if anyone actually bothered to put on pants lol. My male housemates always walked around in boxers up until it was absolutely necessary to go out.

I don't know if it's too suprising that Dan might want some male fans his own age. As he gets older he probably finds it harder to relate to girls in their early teens (don't we all). Particularly when the point of his content is talking about his life in a relatable way.

YouTube is a super hard platform. If you're a singer or an author you can hide away for 1 or 2 years creating a new book or a new album. Everyone expects YouTubers to film an amazing video once a week. I tend to prefer YouTubers who post sparingly, but do it really well when they do post. I didn't h...

hello fellow recent unlurker your point about dan tailoring his content to suit his audience demographic is quite interesting. its weird to imagine the kind of things he might discuss and the ways in which he would discuss them if he were creating content for a different (read, older) audience I th...

Personally, I have a preference for singers, actors, artists etc who launched their careers themselves - I think their material is better because they personally had to fight for it. There's so many examples of singers/actors whose careers were majorly helped along in their childhoods by their paren...

Just unlurking to say something... I think Dan and Phil modify the way they talk about things to appeal to their teen audience. For teenagers still at school, blaming your parents for your problems is de rigour, so I think Dan buys into that a bit. But I think he does also have a more mature perspec...
