True, I'm just sometimes still surprised by the level of detail we go into

So Phil is back at Isle of Man for no reason, can we deduce the reason Dan post that tweet yesterday because of not wanting Phandom to catch them at the airport?

Also the emoji (undertale spoiler)
does this mean they are going to go back and have a date with undyne or??? (because undyne is a fish, her house looks like a fish skull for some reason and fire because SPOILER sometg gonna go on fire at the end of the date

I really wanted a live show from him today, because I wanted to hear him talk about Dan's cereal tweet. :cry:

I am happy about the new undertale video tomorrow though.

Who knows, they can certainly be sneaky enough for that to have happened, although I don't know if Dan is with him.

Off course no ls :sideeye: so no reaction to the roast video, to the fraud but yes we can assume they are visiting the family as dan doubted if he was gonna be there for the ls, at the begging I assumed it was because they were gonna leave for australia.

Your link is broken, but I checked the gg thread and found it:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/mor ... own-death/

I don't think it's well-known in the phandom, though. :( I couldn't find the bit in the article which mentions D&P, but I found this on her fb:
Hi guys -I am sooo thankful for everyone being so nice to me. I will be opening a PO box soon so you can send me things if you like. I am not good at trying to contact famous people but something that would make my life crazy is if at my prom or even if I got to skype them I would love to talk to Social Repose -real name Ritchie and he has a YouTube channel, Melanie Martinez, Dan and Phil or Dan TDM the diamond mine cart or Joey Graceffa. It would make my day if one of them I could meet but I don't know how to contact them so if anybody could help me it would be amazing!!!! Love you!
It was posted on the 18th, and she's going off her ventilator at the end of August, so there's not much time left. There is this tumblr post, but it doesn't have many notes yet. It would be lovely if she did get to chat with D&P; such a brave girl.

This is agonizingly true.



I'm sorry for this post.

I wish Dan would stop with th furry jokes. It's becoming a part of his brand just like placenta and llamas did. If he's actually a furry he should probably keep it to himself- that's also the main reason why I don't think he is a furry. Idk I just don't find the joke funny, mostly just weird

Completely agree, I find it distasteful and it's unnecessary. Although, who mentioned it first? Dan or the fans? I definitely think that if he actually was, he wouldn't have encouraged the jokes like he has.

Thirded. For me the likelihood of there being any truth to it and him actually being a furry is so remote. If the boy has no interest in disclosing his sexuality (and a one-liner about it in a diss track has us all fucked up) I seriously doubt he'd make jokes alluding to an actual fetish on the regs. (Apologies if 'fetish' is offensive - I know its not always sexual but the way Dan plays up to it is always in a sexual way so I'm running with it).

And following that line of thought, the joke needs to die, because its just kind of cheap to take something which has a strong online presence and make it a running joke as part of your branding cos you're ~so internet~

Not to mention, we're talking here about the dude that felt the need to preface his Punk Edits vid with a speech about cultural appropriation. BOY. Check yoself.

edit just a quick edit to say I don't necessarily agree he should keep it to himself if he is a furry. There's nothing wrong with being a furry, I just find it incredibly unlikely that he is one.

Thanks was in hurry and managed to mess it up, the only way imo that they would notice would be to contact flipside, a popular twitter account or dan in his next ls but

Furry: Like you have said his constant mention of it means for me that they are not furries, probably dan found it on the internet, on his wiki searches, and now thinks it's funny :sideeye: :roll:

Didn't that all start with what Dan was wearing for the Halloween Gathering? (correct me if I am wrong...)

I thought it was because Phil was watching furry competitions/dances/gatherings on YouTube, and kept showing Dan?

Wasn't there a furry timeline or #phurry proof thread on GG? Take your asses on over there (if the servers don't crash on your way there). The phurry proof dates back to the beginning of time.

Which has always been stupid to me, because where the fuck does he think punks (and other alternative subcultures) got their mohawks, piercings etc. from in the first place? If he really wants to talk about cultural appropriation. Dan will occasionally make these succinct, socially conscious statements, but the sentiment usually stops short of addressing the root of it. Like I'm still irked by his BlackLivesMatter vs AllLivesMatter explanation on Younow. Yeah yeah there's only so much he can say in 5 to 30 seconds, and sure, he's never claimed to be an expert, and I guess he means well, but lord... when you can tell he's just throwing around terms and blurbs he read on tumblr, and he says it so matter-of-factly? That's what he needs to check himself on.

Sorry to disagree, but I can't see any issue whatsoever with his socially conscious statements? He may or may not be 100% accurate, sure, but a) I don't think many of us here have a PhD in social justice / history / the absolute truth and rightfulness in our twenties, and b) the complete opposite, which is him not saying anything at all, would be unbearably self absorbed.

To me the furry thing seems like a huge metaphor (or analogy? I'm not very good with language) for his sexuality and/or his relationship with Phil (or even other things maybe). Especially after his Diss Track. Like this way he can "address" his ambiguity or elephant in the room without actually having to. An also by mentioning something that's 'out there' (not that it necessarily is, but you know) he can misdirect attention too.

Or, he does it to seem quirky and - so internet - like Lurktacularr said. Or both.

This is not a response anyone bothered by him using this as a joke. Because I can understand being bothered by it.

I'm just curious as to why he keeps bringing it up.

/edit: also, could still be a furry, who knows, and he's just being blatant and not caring about it or something.

The thing with furry 'proof' (and I know nobody's being deadly serious using that term, dw) is that surely its so subjective? I bet half the confusion for us is that none of us (that I'm aware of) have much experience with furridom and so would struggle to tell the difference between what may point to him actually being a furry, and what's no different to me dressing up as a dalmatian last halloween.

On an aside, have we got any thoughts on whether Dan's accompanied Phil to IoM? My first read of his tweet was that Dan was there ("we're working on") but I suppose they could be doing that from different locations.

That "we" can also be seen as "Dan is not doing all the editing (in London)" or "I am not doing all the editing (in IoM)". Anyway, I think we will end up knowing, one way or another, if Dan is with him

yeah true. At least I'm probably ignorant about what it exactly is (and hadn't even heard the term before hearing it from )

He also did that for the lad video :roll: :lol:
Both those were total jokes tho, weren't they? As in he wasn't in any way serious and I don't get why everyone seems to think that he was.

You can tell by his tone, or just generally by how absurd those statements are. Way I see it he's being knowingly ridiculous, in order to low-key make fun of the kind of people who are quick to yell "cultural appropriation!!!" even in cases when it isn't really applicable (few punks or lads cry themselves to sleep over other people trying out their style; lad appropriation is not a thing).

Want another example of Dan rolling his eyes over stupid claims of cultural appropriation, try his diss track from less than a week ago:

Image

#Disclaimer
I don't know if it needs to be said, but making fun of people who are taking something too far is not the same thing as shitting on people with legitimate concerns, and it doesn't mean Dan doesn't take actual cultural appropriation seriously. From what I have seen he tries very hard to understand these things (from his white boy perspective, r.i.p. manged), and not cause offense. An example I remember of this in action is when the term "spirit animal" was popular on tumblr and Dan asked the chat in a liveshow whether it was a problematic thing to say or not. He got mixed answers and ended up saying he'd look into it. A few liveshows later someone claimed that Dan was their spirit animal and Dan told them that's problematic and something you probably shouldn't say. Guess he looked into it.
Edit: Btw manged, silly anecdote but I just watched the #blacklivesmatter liveshow yesterday and timestamped it, and you know what I've written for that particular timestamp? It just says: - 49:43 "#blacklivesmatter vs. #alllivesmatter (obvious Dan opinion + explanation can’t be bothered to type it out) :roll:

Edit 2: Oh look, Onision's back.
