On the Dan height thing, I could see it just being him being self-conscious about it, but it seems like a lot of work to work around something fairly insignificant (though it's insignificance is just in my own opinion. But also, he points out how tall he is a lot? Though it could be done as a self-depreciative joke.) There was one liveshow where Phil was talking about how everyone always freaks out about their height when they meet them, and he said he doesn't know how to react/doesn't actually like hearing it much (I don't know if he might have added a "Please don't just call me tall when you meet me" or if I'm getting too far ahead of myself.
) This could all totally play into that.

Wait, what? Actually? Has anyone reliable hinted on this? Like is this actually a thing?
I'm aware of (most) everything else she's said/tweeted, but... As someone who normally stays pretty in-the-middle/tries to give the benefit of the doubt/all of that stuff, that's like an entirely new level of screwed-up, assuming they would all watch it just to laugh/make-fun-of/mock. Geez.

I feel like I see that a lot from other youtubers? It's probably just my but that's PewDiePie as well. His mentions of D&P have increased exponentially since spending time with them. Aside from everyone pointing out that he may enjoy the Phandom's response, I think it's also a double-bluff. "Oh hey. I know them. Look at me casually joking about their relationship. Because there... uh... isn't one."
(Assuming the relationship for this) I can both see PewDiePie doing it this way, or I see it in a different way where he knows about them and he's making jokes about how he knows but the jokes are playful enough where people can't tell if he's joking or not, and he's playing with that level of power/ambiguity. And just in case that made no sense,
(because when I typed it it sure didn't feel like it didn't,) let me try again. If Pewds has recently discovered their relationship, he could be making jabs about their relationship as a sort-of inside joke with himself (+ whoever else may know about them) where he knows what he's saying has certain aspects reality to it, but the viewers don't know that, but the way he delivers the "jokes" is so playful but also serious that as an outsider, knowing whether he's actually joking or not becomes a guessing game, and he could be getting a kick out of making people question it when he knows the truth.
(I don't think the second explanation helped, LOL. Whatever, this post is insubstantial and I'm tired.)
I don't have anything more to say about that guy
