Anyways, the liveshow today was really cute.

I can say that they are bad people, because someone I know met them and they weren't nice to them.
Source: My aunt.
Like that doesn't prove anything.
There are only a few things in the entire post that we haven't heard before. Everything in the post that we haven't heard before has sources that are either unnamed and ambiguous (such as "a friend") or a blog (such as updatedphan) that is equally as ambiguous because how does updatedphan know any better than any of us?lilMango wrote:The sources are definitely questionable, but to be honest this doesn't add much to the discussion anyway if we don't have any specific details. Broad events outlined like this are just to start drama, otherwise they would be more intricate and pose questions, etc.
I just find it funny that these people "aren't trying to start drama" and then post things like this to "expose" people without giving any detail that would actually prove anything.
Don't feed the trolls, guys. It ultimately only hurts them
What I would say to this, and to anyone else who believes them or thinks they have any credibility: they are masters of manipulation. They would do very well in advertising or marketing or sales. From reading their blog, it's clear that they know how to construct sentences and choose words that build hype and add to their credibility. They made everyone on their blog believe that they had some huge secret that no one's heard before and that they had credible sources. What came out is neither of those things. They basically posted a phan timeline with a few details peppered in here and there that make dan and phil look bad, once again, with no sources.bear wrote:Apparently they posted their sources so take a look at them and decide for yourself.

Not to mention that the people they apparently went to school with are grown men/women who probably don't know all that much about the phandom. I doubt they keep tabs/have this grudge against people they went to school with so long ago.anathema wrote:All the "people in the same school year as them" sources don't sound legit to me. If I was someone who went to the same school at the same time as one of them, no way would I respond to someone who was a fan of their's. The fact that they would have had to stalk them/me to find my account, and then have the audacity to message me? No way would I reply. Also, I'm sure all of the "facts" from other phandom members were told to him with "I have no proof of this" and he just "accidentally" didn't include that part.
And A+ post eevee
Most likely trolling is understating things. Even (in the unlikely event) that person has solid and legit sources they are still trolling with the information and have been for months.bear wrote: I never said it wasn't trolling. It most likely is. I'm just saying it in a unopinionated way.
TBH, I think about the last place to look for actual drama would be an old married couple two people like who seem quite happily settled into whatever relationship they have.lurkizzle wrote:Not to mention that the people they apparently went to school with are grown men/women who probably don't know all that much about the phandom.

I kinda wish there was something of substance though. Just cause I wanted to see some drama.

updatedphan are 3 chill people who aren't into dumb drama or spreading harmful rumours, those attention-seekers just dragged that name into things to appear more legit and take advantage of somebody trying to be kind. These people don't deserve the benefit of the doubt based on past actions and continued shit-stirring. What they consider to be valuable sources is laughable and I hope they go away now that they've dropped their tween-drama-inspired retelling of info and a timeline everybody already has. Or people realize paying them any attention is a waste of everybody's time. Obviously what they really want to do is write fanfiction, as that's all they've done here. I just find it all very embarrassing for them.bluewho wrote: Is UpdatedPhan aware that they have been cited as supporting these rumors? I would very much doubt it. Even if they are it's a fan run account, we have no more reason to believe rumors from them than we do from Mr Joe Bloggs and Mr Joe King.
