interestingly enough, when i was still getting my degree to work with children, weve been taught to use the proper words for genitals and none of those "peepee" and other variations of said genitals. because children need to learn that its just another part of the human body and that they shouldnt feel uncomfortable and squeamish when people say "penis" or "vagina" as if its a scandalous thing to say.
Oh don't get me wrong, I agree with you, I roll my eyes at it as well, I was just saying that I'm sadly not surprised by them doing it because I've noticed how they try to keep their distance by young girls in any ways. I always get the idea of them being slightly uncomfortable by their huge teen girls audience, not really because it's seen as a bad thing but because they don't want to be seen as predatory? It's something I've noticed in recent years in particular.alittledizzy wrote: ↑Sat May 26, 2018 10:32 pmI think that's exactly my issue with it, tbh. And this isn't Dan and Phil specific - I understand on a small scale why they don't. But it bothers me personally that jokes about penises are fine (by guys, by girls, by people of any age) but jokes about vaginas (again, by anyone) are immediately described as "uncomfortable" whether they're sexualized or not. Looking at something that looks like a vagina and saying "that looks like a vagina" isn't saying you want to fuck it, it's just saying... it looks like a vagina. Sending them impression to young girls that even uttering the word "vagina" means something sexual and shouldn't be done is the message that's being sent that I hate. And if it really were about young, impressionable audience not being exposed to sexual things, they wouldn't describe every other thing they see as phallic. (And Dan's channel basically wouldn't exist.)
But I definitely know from having had this conversation many times that the majority of fandom doesn't agree and sees nothing wrong with their aversion to the word or outright applauds it, so this is me saying my opinion once and then I'll leave it.It's a hill I'll climb like, halfway up and get tired of, not one I'll die on. I'm gonna go to mentally over-analyzing why exactly it's been a big year for them personally...
i dont recall where this is from....it looks like theyre wearing some kind of peaked cap and phil is holding something.......orangesugar wrote: ↑Sat May 26, 2018 11:49 pm a bit random but that other picture that we haven't seen the full version of reminded me of this, which is something i think about a lot and always forget to ask about here:

Honestly Dan can be extremely pessimistic at times but Phil balances that out so well, the joking Dan makes of wanting Phil to leave him alone are kind of rude tbh, but maybe thats their friendship. Or Dan’s just being a little shit
Am I the only one who likes Dan’s nails?

Phil has no concept of personal space, ehem, but we knew that already.
5:58- Phil pointing out that the little moan would be Dan’s attack personally stood out to me and kind of shocked me a little. Anyone else get this vibe? Those jumpcuts
8:09- Phil getting super excited over the friendship dragon melted my heart. Bonus points from Dan’s ultra fond eyes.
9:20- Failed Lestowell branding, guess it just wasn’t meant to be. (love how that was the first thing that popped into Phil’s head)
10:35- I love how Phil couldn’t wait to pick out Dan’s dragon persona as the complete opposite of what Dan was going for, makes me think Phil sees soft boy Dan more often than we do. Lose that branding awful edgy branding danny boy.
12:15- Golden moment of Phil thinking Dan’s drawing looked sexual, “I don’t know what it is” Its your kink lmao.
the only thing i don't like instastories is this is something we may have gotten on LessAmazingPhil in the past. can't complain though, cause i'll take these more often than 1 good video once a year. phil once again bringing out both their cheeky spontaneous sides, master of content.obsessivelymoody wrote: ↑Sat May 26, 2018 6:27 pm pringle

Can I just say, the summer leg of tatinof was only 2 months long, Interactive Introverts is FIVE months long, it doesn't finish until the end of September. They really need to step up their game if they think 1 video a week on the gaming channel is gonna cut it. It's already been almost 2 weeks since Phil uploaded and 6 weeks since Dan uploaded. You would think given that there was uproar back in 2016 they may have prepared a bit more. Back when they did tatinof they definitely tweeted a lot more than they are now. The Instagram stories are great but they are kinda few and far between now, somedays going with one story max. Also, what is a liveshow, does anyone remember those good old days!alittledizzy wrote: ↑Sat May 26, 2018 8:57 pm Also, can I say - it finally feels like Dan and Phil are really on tour, with people piling massive expectations onto every game because we only get them every 7-9 days and inevitably being disappointed. No shade, I fully understand that if you watch them because you like them playing games this would have totally been the worst kind of video and it sucks that we likely won't have another for at least a week. But reading IDB's reactions to this new video just gave me a whole flood of deja vu from summer of 2016!
Yes, Dan & Phil please stop doing this, it is actually turning into the new lolzllamas and seeing as
:thanks:
Ooh we haven't, but it was taken in Birmingham as I recognise the venue and can see my seat haha! Nicest venue of the tour so far. I wonder what they're doing when Mark is there to take photos, I hope they're going to put a behind the scenes video together again.
True, "lady door" does imply that the purpose is to enter it, whereas the word vagina simply refers to an organ. I mean, it's an inside joke and almost everyone will know the context/origins of the euphemism but it's not necessarily a more innocent-sounding term. I also remember Dan just saying vagina in some gaming video (anyone know which one?), so I don't understand why they're suddenly hesitant to use that word.mermaid blood wrote: ↑Sun May 27, 2018 8:55 am so a sustained joke involving multiple erotic innuendos centered on a euphemism for vaginas, "lady door'" is okay - because their audience is young, impressionable, and majority female; but saying the word vagina in a non-sexual context, is not?
stay woke, phandom.
your stamps are everything i wanted to say. 5.58 - i had it written down as 'expressive high pitched cry' (lol), not moan, but got the same vibe from that as phil saying dan would really be the colourful mojito rather than anything stormy and mysterious. phil is living dan's truth for him more than dan is, it seems (kidding, i do get the dichotomy and that darkness is still a big part of dan's tendencies, branding aside).rustysp00n wrote: ↑Sun May 27, 2018 6:23 am

people hyping up dan to give us more secrets and out-do the last thing he was honest about, particularly putting emphasis on his June video, makes me uncomfy. i can only see disappointment and then cynical derision as an outcome. it makes me frustrated at both dan and his audience.
did anyone else think the '2 minute' drawings were pre-done and they just sent them to each other in that speed-up clip? there's no way they could've done those on a track pad in that time and have them turn out that coherent, we've seen their skills in other time-based drawing games on the channel. not showing them drawing it, which presumably would've been funny and energetic to watch, also a give away. i liked that they did do them before-hand though, much more satisfying. they're both better at doodling than you would think they would be.
quick question: the people who are squicked by dan's nails, are you squicked by everyone with grown-out unpainted nails, or just dan? i'm just surprised because 'ew those lady's nails squick me out' is not something you really see that often, and dan's nails are the same length as a lot of average women's right now. i wouldn't even call less than half a centimetre of white showing 'long'.
I wonder when Dan does plan to film his June video? Is he working on it now, their last days at home for a while? Is he planning to make it in a hotel room on the go, or maybe after Sweden and before the US? Dan said it would be around his birthday (which is before Sweden), so if it's not on the go, he should be filming as we speak. He usually makes a few sketches, and that could be though in a hotel room... Or maybe we should start talking about his July video.
Ah yes that makes sense, unfortunately my son had school so that was impossible for us! I do think we should have trained it there though, not sure why we did coach really but still gave ourselves 3 hours, but apparently it still wasn't enough!Secretstanner wrote: ↑Sat May 26, 2018 10:55 amCame up from Bristol too and to make sure that didn’t happen to me I came down on the Thursday when I my coach was also delayed.

Not sure if this needs to be in a spoiler really but ...@missemma Completely agree about the screens! We were slightly to the right on the balcony and couldnt really see the right hand screen at all
Yes! Dan used three colors just on the hair. You know it took him at least 2 minutes to decide on the correct gradient.mermaid blood wrote: ↑Sun May 27, 2018 8:55 am did anyone else think the '2 minute' drawings were pre-done and they just sent them to each other in that speed-up clip? there's no way they could've done those on a track pad in that time and have them turn out that coherent, we've seen their skills in other time-based drawing games on the channel. not showing them drawing it, which presumably would've been funny and energetic to watch, also a give away. i liked that they did do them before-hand though, much more satisfying. they're both better at doodling than you would think they would be.
