Re: Dan & Phil Part 86: here, queer & full of existential fear

I am so proud and happy for Phil. He seems so excited, and the 5 sec clip is just hilarious. I watch it on a loop. I was one of the people who thought that Dan would make a video about sexuality at some point, but now that Phil has also made one, I am really surprised. Glad he did it. The video was ...

Re: Dan & Phil Part 86: here, queer & full of existential fear

Also and I can’t believe this needs to be pointed out, but TERFs are bad and its nothing to do with the “rad fem” bit and everything to do with the “trans-exclusionary” bit. I have two off-topic words and they are Germaine and Greer. Trans people are valid and no matter anyone’s stance on gender or...

Re: Dan & Phil Part 86: here, queer & full of existential fear

One thing made me almost dislike the video though, but I didn't because I think it would be unfair, as I'm sure no one has taught Dan what is radical feminism, so when he says "fucking TERFs" it made me really angry, as he probably knows next to nothing about what is radfem and is talking...

Re: Dan & Phil Part 86: here, queer & full of existential fear

I just wanted to come here and express how fond and proud and thankful i am for Dan :prideheart2: In the past I kind of thought that Dan was bisexual (sorry Dan for assuming...). Eventhough he is not bi, he felt like someone I could look up to in this regard, because he is just generally a lovely pe...

Re: Dan & Phil Part 85: the phildom

I now have watched the video three times and the thing I love most about it, is that Dan wanted to make a full on 45 minute video about it, and talking and explaining his past and his feelings. I know that proud is definitely a feeling I am feeling, but also sadness about how bad things were for him...

Re: Relocated Off-Topic User Discussion

Also. You are missing the point.

Yes, I am uncomfortable.

Re: communitychannel / natalie tran

I still follow nat's twitter, and it always warms my heart when she talks about her youtube channel. I still have her on notification. Maybe one day she might film something again (but who knows). But having her still around in some way on twitter is really nice.

Re: Dan & Phil Part 84: Still Alive

In any case, you don't just stop a series like PINOF, the quintessential symbol of "Dan and Phil", if you're still feeling into the sort of content you make. The way they communicated about it reveals a lot too. No state funeral was given, no they thought it 'obvious' that we would catch ...

Re: Dan & Phil Part 84: Still Alive

I am just wondering if an empty filming flat necessarily means anything? I mean, if they don't film anything, it makes sense that there isn't a lot of stuff there, as long as they don't need it for storage. I really dislike the thumbnail, but the video was fun to watch. I was glad that he picked thi...

Heck, you know we'd all watch a 20 minute in-depth discussion about Phil's sock collection if he genuinely told us why he loves fun socks and the stories behind some of the pairs he's purchased over the years. Why? Because we care about Phil Lester and we want to know more about him. God I want thi...

Re: Dan & Phil Part 83: Where in the World is Daniel Howell

I really liked the video! I also found the editing quite nice. Maybe I am just so used to dan being by his side with always a moral conclusion or anything, because the ending (not only in this but also in his last videos) also feels so abrupt to me as someone already said. But overall I am really ha...

I really enjoyed the video! I had to laugh several times, I just really love Phil's humour and quirky personality.

I think he might have tried to film the video already last week, but then decided he couldn't do it with his old set anymore, and decided on a whim to make the change before his first video of the year, and not wait any longer. Not sure if he really had long enough time to buy and set up all the stu...
