Dan & Phil Part 37: A better way to live

[alittledizzy]

Random:

idk and I were discussing this on Twitter yesterday, but I thought I’d post it here too, for posterity’s sake:

I deciphered the blurred message in this picture (tweeted by Dan on 29 January 2012):

[link to Twitpic]

It says:

• Sounds good to
  Me! Also we should maybe
  mention that we may be
  free on the 11th if al
  cancels and we’l hopefully
  find that out tomorrow

Presumably they were talking about March 11th, 2012, and the "Al" in question was Phil’s cousin Al, whose March birthday Phil once referenced in a tweet saying "HAPPY BIRTHDAY COUSIN AL."

According to another one of his tweets, Phil did hang out with Martyn and Cornelia on the 11th, so presumably Al didn’t cancel.

Anyway, this is related to nothing, but I wanted to have a record of this transcription somewhere haha.

Oh, interesting. So do we know/think that Dan hung out with Phil and his cousin too?

I hadn't actually thought about it from that angle, but now that you mention it, it does seem likely that Dan hung out with them too, given the way Phil says "we may be free" and "we'l hopefully find that out"! Aww.

Awww...the text messages pages in tabinof was my favorite part

Unpopular opinion

soda in a can is better than any other container. Love that metallic taste.

Has anyone looked at the tumblr account @phangate? It's pretty lolzor and clearly someone just looking to wind the phandom up but I did find it pretty hilarious.

I'm on my phone so will put some of the posts under a spoiler as they'll end up massive.

If Dan did go with, that would be cute.

Wow that is some real fanfiction they have got over there.
Do feel sorry for Phil's wife. Left behind while her man with on his dream holiday to Japan with his bro.

Thanks, I needed the lolz!

As though Deppy would contract any management without a long-term non-disclosure agreement (or any actual, reputable, management firm would not have that as matter of course).

Phangate is probably the funniest thing for a long time. I usually really hate things like this but this is grade a shitposting. Proper gave me a laugh tonight, just what I needed.

YESYESYES!

i know a lot of people find these kinds of trolls annoying, but tbh, i find this to be absolutely amazing. i'm actually looking forward to their next update bc this is hilarious

[missemma]

This phandom troll is much funnier than the 'lololol we hacked dan and have sooooo much information guise'
It made me laugh because it is completely ridiculous, I've seen so many funny posts about it on twitter too. It's times like this when the phandom pull together and just make a huge joke of it that I find it funny. Sometimes I wish Dan and Phil would secretly join in with the LOL and tweet something stupid hinting at it.

[quote="palpable"]A few thoughts on the Felix/pewdiepie situation under the spoiler, because I got some things on my mind I cannot leave unsaid.

[spoiler]Moral nuance,people. Of course it isabsolutely vital for a society to have discussions about morality and it is completely fair to speak up when somebody says or does something that is plain out shite (like the thing felix did)

But I really cannot stand the whole "person did a problematic thing now they are irredeemably bad" kind of thinking. How are we to progress as a society if we just discount someone completely because of something they said in the past? You call someone's mistake out (rightfully so) and demand they apologize but then never forgive.
How does that make any sense? You are not morally pure either, and each and everyone of us has done something morally questionable or will do something morally questionable at some point in their lives.

A callout should move someone to genuinely change their behavior and thoughts and not something to make you feel morally superior and super smug. And then demand that deppy publically ostracize a person because you passed a judgement over the goodness of a person. Ew.[/spoiler][/quote]

[quote="gnostic"][spoiler]Why are y'all convinced Felix is a big bad Youtube King who is using his unofficial power to shut down any potential callouts (intentional or not). All around the world in that infamous *Real Life TM* people remain friends with people who exhibit shitty traits, including lack of PC (in the best sense of that word) and even give them public support. Because they value the friendship (family relationship etc.) sometimes to the extent that their backbone disappears and / or they don't think it's a hill to die on. It's the same as loyal people who have serial cheater friends. It happens all the bloody time[/spoiler][/quote]

[spoiler]I very much agree with these 2 posts, people seemed disappointed with Dan and Phil for their so called 'endorsement' of Pewdiepie's behavior. As much as I am beginning to see the real problem with his behavior, I would never expect dan and phil to call him out, and I'm not surprised that dan made the 'problematic dad' joke. Felix's friends are much more prone to see and acknowledge his point of view in this situation ( even if it is skewed) because they know him and his personality, and can perhaps assume that his intentions are not harmful.
It does seem to me that pewdiepie is being turned into some kind of evil figure in this situation, to the point where it is seen as wrong for him to be mentioned in a favorable way. I personally don't see why people have to be so completely shunned over their actions ( unless they are actually irredeemable ie. murder) I guess calling them out might be important in order to get someone to see the harm in what they are doing, but I don't think making them out to be the villain really accomplishes anything in that aspect.
btw gnostic welcome back
tldr; I agree with these posts[/spoiler]

i honestly fail to see where in this discussion people jumped to the conclusion that (in this case) dan and phil are irredeemably bad people because they didn't call out pewdiepie, though. being disappointed with specific actions of your faves doesn't equal that. i feel like the consensus was more on the "i understand why they don't call him out, but i was disappointed with badly timed mention / because i felt the way they mentioned him served to trivialize the issue" side. it's a plain fact that pewdiepie has not even just made an antisemitic """""joke""""", but also failed to acknowledge why people would be upset by it, let aside apologize for it. which other line is he supposed to cross before it's enough to shun him? this has nothing to do with saying he's an evil person, but he has a large audience, and """""jokes""""" like these take part in normalizing this sort of language, and it's important to criticize the use of it.

it's similar with dan reblogging that barron trump post on tumblr -- it doesn't make him a bad person (i doubt he thought much about it), yes it's 2012 9gag edgelord humor, but it's also legitimate to comment that one doesn't approve of it, or is disappointed that he put it on his blog. i understand that people might be sensitized to discussions about "problematics" due to certain manifestations of call-out / witch hunt culture, but i feel like the discussion on this board has been nuanced with respect to this.

unrelated to this, phangate actually made me laugh out loud. i kind of wish deppy would make an allusion to it at some point, too, just to mess with everyone.
dan has also liked some cute fanart of him with a shibe on tumblr. if they actually get a dog this year all the puzzle pieces will suddenly fall together.

[tylerrjoseph]

I saw these gifs on Tumblr and Dan and Phil's faces are so perfect that I just had to share.




(gif source / link to post: wallflowerchronicles)

The first two gifs seriously give me life. What a great response (from both of them) to a bs heteronormative claim like "girls like hot boys and hot boys like pretty girls"

Just look at the disdain on Phil's face. Glorious. I think this counts as Phil priss face.



And then Dan is just like "r u kidding me wtf"



It's from the "A Guide to Vlogging Panel" from Vidcon 2014, at 7:26:

how have i never noticed this before??? i love dan's dramatic expressions

[psychicmoth]

Dan also liked this and now is 10x better

This kind of trolling isn't usually that amusing to me but I will fully agree with you there - this is at least way funnier than some of the recent attention-grabbing troll antics phandom has seen!

[papierklemmen]

Dan also liked this and now is 10x better

lmao A+

Has anyone looked at the tumblr account @phangate? It's pretty lolzor and clearly someone just looking to wind the phandom up but I did find it pretty hilarious.

I'm on my phone so will put some of the posts under a spoiler as they'll end up massive.

I quite happily dismissed this Tumblr as an amusing shit post. Then I remembered phil's "world's best dad" mug and now I'm all
How long has he had that again?

... there is no way that what that tumblr is saying has any piece of thruth, like no. So just drop the far away and join the fun

[sweetmm]

Phil is a family man and Dan is a

slut???

I know that really. I was making dinner when I thought of it though and it distracted me long enough for me to burn stuff. (That's my excuse for burning stuff anyway. The truth is I'm almost as accident prone as Phil)

No no, he was, now he is in a stable relationship with his partner (no gender confirm yet)

[secretagentphan]

phangate is my new favorite tumblr account, bye!!

But seriously for some reason I thoroughly enjoy reading these posts that are clearly fake. It's like anti-phanfiction au I'm living
