Maybe I interpreted this part wrong but I don't see what was wrong with what Dan said? I thought he was basically saying "why shouldn't a woman be around a dangerous area?", like why should it be her responsibility to stay away from dangerous areas? The narrative was being condescending toward women by saying that the area was too dangerous for women, and Dan was disputing that. Obviously certain areas are dangerous for women, but it's not the responsibility of women to avoid them. But maybe I just interpreted that wrong idk? also i'm laughing at myself for being so deep about my horse prince omg what am i doing with my lifeSusanisnotafish wrote:Why is this grating?alittledizzy wrote: 4:15 - Dan makes a remark that is kind of grating to me, responding to the in-game narration saying that Susankun shouldn't be around a dangerous area.

It seems to be a grocery store, and Phil doesn't have a backpack or something with him, so maybe he just went there to get some snacks (or whatever) and Dan was too lazy to come with him.auri wrote:I actually...... liked the Horse Prince..... sometimes I just really need something as stupid as that is and D&P just makes it better. I wouldn't have watched it if someone else did it but yeaa, thanks deppy for that one. Also, I'm such a sucker for longer videos, under 15 minutes gaming videos just leave me kind of unsatisfied (probably because I'm so into them right now and I feel like all that I have in my life is D&P tbqh so yeaaah, iamsad.)
Maybe Phil being spotted alone doesn't mean Dan's back in the UK, maybe they're just not always together? Or maybe I just want to believe
This could mean Dan is back home, or he could've just been at the hotel. Doesn't answer any of my questions!!RiriPandaHeart2 wrote:Philly's been spotted. I have no idea where it is and if Dan was with him (but probably not cause the girl would have mentioned it if Dan were there). So maybe Dan's gone back to the UK?
Edit: oh yay! I'm a cheeky spon now.
I definitely interpreted this as the game was basically all "Women need to be kept safe and protected!" and Dan was like, "Yo, if a man can be in there, then a woman can be in there." Looking back on it, I see it didn't actually say that women shouldn't be there, rather he had called her a "young lady" and then told her she should leave because it's dangerous. But it's easy enough to misinterpret as they move so quickly through it. I don't blame him for that interpretation, and if that was how he was thinking I'd rather he speak up about how odd that is to say rather than just deal with it.captainspacecoat wrote:Maybe I interpreted this part wrong but I don't see what was wrong with what Dan said?

Like, it would be different if they were saying civilians should stay out because they're not wearing a hard-hat. But they didn't. They specified women. I was happy Dan commented on that because the game made me cringe in the not-so-fun way at that.captainspacecoat wrote:Maybe I interpreted this part wrong but I don't see what was wrong with what Dan said?

Turns out the English version is not even quite so definitive as I'd thought, on review. So I've edited my original post.gnostic wrote:Interestingly, Japanese version is not gender specificAshling Rae wrote:I definitely interpreted this as the game was basically all "Women need to be kept safe and protected!" and Dan was like, "Yo, if a man can be in there, then a woman can be in there."

The words he said are fine - the tone he used seemed patronizing to me. I don't think he meant it badly, which is why I didn't use a stronger word than "grating" - I just have a kneejerk response of associating that tone with sentences that start with "uhh" as as sarcastic/patronizing. I think Dan just doesn't judge his own tone well sometimes.Susanisnotafish wrote:Why is this grating?alittledizzy wrote:4:15 - Dan makes a remark that is kind of grating to me, responding to the in-game narration saying that Susankun shouldn't be around a dangerous area.

The phrase is definitely throes, but Phil said throngs so that's what I quoted. (Or had a very weird pronunciation of throes that changed the sound of the 'o' and added an 'n' sound.) I think 'throes' is what Phil meant either way but I didn't want to change what I was hearing.Susanisnotafish wrote:23:31 - Phil (staring at Dan as he talks): "I think he looks like he's in the throngs of passion."
After someone on here said this was a romantic way to look at it, I googled the phrase "throngs of passion" and found out it's actually "throes of passion". Throngs are multitudes of people.
Oh, now I see what you mean. Thanks for explaining.alittledizzy wrote:The words he said are fine - the tone he used seemed patronizing to me.

Yeah, I was correcting Phil, not you. I should have been more clear in my post. Thanks for your awesome timestamps btw!The phrase is definitely throes, but Phil said throngs so that's what I quoted.

ikr!! especially when you realise it, and then see that they low-key relate it to themselves but attempt to not make it obvious lmaoElyanie wrote:I felt the same way!

Yes to all of this. Thanks for the time stamps dizzy. Definitely the Simpsons theme. I get what you mean about Dan's tone in the women in dangerous places comment. (My husband thinks they are a tad misogynistic *cough*Tabitha*cough*)Elyanie wrote:I felt the same way!

I thought this too! It was like asking for a bedtime story and the parent rushing through it/skipping parts.autumnhearth wrote:Finally got to watch MHP! While the video felt rushed (particularly the reading) that's okay, it kind of added to the absurdity and I do appreciate them powering through it.
I agree they were defo passing the childcare off to Tabs, but is that what you mean by misogynistic or do you have other examples, cause I would call what I'm referring to playing into gender role stereotyping.autumnhearth wrote:I get what you mean about Dan's tone in the women in dangerous places comment.

No, I wasn't referring to child care, except when they say she's not pulling her weight. They have also said she was a hard working woman so that's okay. I was referring more to constantly calling her T-Bag and the episode when she was pregnant, calling her a whale and just the overall feels there. They clearly had no concept of how pregnancy worked and seems unsympathetic (which whatever it's just the Sims) but their doting over Dab made me feel better. They have also focused on her for one or two episodes, so that's nice.

Sorry, but that's quite a statement to make that they are misogynistic, and I don't think that's fair. It's the wrong use of the word? It's not what deppy do at all. Arguably, some of what they can say at times can be considered *sexist* but I wouldn't just "call them out" on mistakes or slip ups as indicating that they're out to hate women. I know they aren't exempt from criticism, of course, but sometimes gender roles, no matter how much Dan tries to "break down", are still there, and sometimes people still make the mistake-that doesn't mean people should take out the pitchforks. For one, they are mistakes, and second, I think people could be misinterpreting them. I never considered them calling her "T-bag" as bad, but I guess that's up to interpretationautumnhearth wrote:No, I wasn't referring to child care, except when they say she's not pulling her weight.
