everything is little monkey and nothing hurts

I like Louise, but she's truly an airhead sometimes. How the hell do you lose an SD card with footage on it, when it's your JOB.

We're still getting one video, but I'm usually not really about Phil's collabs and and this one makes me ab bit nervous considering it's with Louise and Dan. In the Not Worth Watching video, the chemistry between Louise and Phil wasn't there while the chemistry between Louise and Dan was through the roof. It was awkward. I hope Phil manages to get 'between' them, because it'd suck for him to get taken over by those two again, this time on his own channel. :/

Off topic but does anyone follow We The Unicorns it's kind of like buzzfeed but for youtuber news. Anyways, my friend sent me this link to this article morning. It mentions other youtubers such as Pewds, zoella, etc. However, there's a lot of it was focused on specifically.
Here is the article - http://www.wetheunicorns.com/debate/you ... pewdiepie/
To shorten it for you, it basically is concerning privacy of YouTubers and how they would call out their own fans when they are behaving badly. Honestly I think the Phandom could use this GREATLY.
Giggled at the part, "The Phandom boasts a level of strength and devotion that rivals fans of mainstream acts like like One Direction, Twenty One Pilots, or Benedict Cumberbatch. " Even though it's true.
Thoughts?

This is in fact a very interesting read, thanks!

I definetely agree phandom could use some guidance and reality checks, but I don't think Dan and Phil are gonna risk it. Gotta make those five million teenage girls think you are on their side, pissing them off might damage the bottom line

Plus, as far as I can tell Deppy exist in little bubble and are quite happy ignoring everything outside of it

This ^ and also I don't think that there are that many "bad" fans in the Phandom - but it may look like that because the majority of the Phandom starts apologizing big time, when in reality only few people were spreading the hate or something.
What I mean is, that all drama looks bigger because there are more than twice as many people apologizing for the few immature/asshole fans.

Yup! I really think that there is really small portion of the Phandom that needs to be reprimanded. But their actions are hyped up by the drama caused by the majority. What I mean is that the reaction to anything is exaggerated. I hate to admit it but most of them (us) are drama queens. Case and point, the boobgate girl during a m&g. I think this is the reason why Deppy seldom address them. Dan might waffle about it during his liveshow to show his disappointment or something. But if it's serious business, you know Phil will relay the message.

You are me, dammit. I'm only hard on Louise because besides Deppy, she's the only vlogger I actually subscribe to and like.

But now I can't even do that because "little monkeys" fml Phil.

It's true that a great majority of the Phandom exhibits behavior I would call ''excruciatingly embarrassing,'' but not actually problematic enough to be called out for. I would however, love to see them call out their fans a bit more, but I know that's not going to happen. They won't even voice their opinions about things that are the least bit controversial. This cowardly stance irritates me sometimes, but then again the last time Dan tried to directly call out people, it didn't exactly work out so well. At the end of the day I think they just want to avoid drama as much as they can while making bank. Why would they start mouthing off when this is a win-win situation for them?

Yep, this.

And I think there would be even more unnecessary apologizing and overblown drama if Dan and Phil addressed it. Anyway it seems like they prefer the 'let's keep quiet and let it die out' way of dealing with many things concerning the phandom. Though I'd like to believe if there was something really bad happening, they would get involved.

I'm excited about the new video coming soon! But 'two little monkeys'?? Okay, Phil...

but Phil truly is a secret Slytherin god, isn't he? Because there was totally a shitstorm breaking out on Twitter against Louise & now everyone's high on little monkey fumes and has no idea why they were angry to begin with.

Well, another thing they could do was at least no ENCOURAGE phandom's more hysterical behaviour. Remember Dan's protip tweet? Ugh, if i was a youtuber id slap him (tbf i am just off watchinf Pewds and Jack slap Mark, I may be on some slapping fumes)

Shit blows over so damned fast, why should they waste their breath addressing it? Just throw around some monkeys, take a moist boat ride, whatever...
And, Louise. Come on.

Wanna form a club of people who believe he tweeted it that way intentionally to do some lite damage control?

Exactly what I meant! They know how to play us.

gnostic wrote:Wanna form a club of people who believe he tweeted it that way intentionally to do some lite damage control?

Yup. Yup yup. He's *so* good at pulling our strings. I would be upset, except apparently I love having my strings pulled. Lose some more footage, Louise, maybe he'll sit in Dan's lap & post a selfie of it.

(but yeah, super intentional. it distracts really well & it's also affectionate towards Louise, which subtly shows that he's not upset with her at all, and that's a good guideline to follow)

I'm in the club too. I think he's rushing to edit his video now because he might have not planned to release it today. That's why it's taking so long to release. He had to act fast or Louise would be dragged so he did a cute little tweet with animals/dan and everyones attention diverted. Hopefully that means he isn't an anal little shit and leaves some "dirty phil" moments in

I'm also a little worried about DP and Louise being together in one vid because it leads to chaos. hopefully phil joins in with the chaos and leaves the houseplants and rubber chickens to rest

I'm all down to be in the club, but we should have a snazzy name for the club! Someone needs to parole around the bad eggs.

I also hope the video isn't edited to roughly, you'd think he and Louise would have better communication, oh dear.

Y'know what would take less time and energy than rush-edit and upload of a video?

A live show. Just sayin'....

I don't think he is rushing to upload this video, they both agree to upload the video today. And then Louise found she didn't know where the memory card was. But Phil is only following the schedule.

I'll be more than happy to have a live show. I just need them to seat there and talk a lot. PLEASE, universe. Hear my plea.

At this point, however excited I am for the new video (and trying sooo hard not to be disappointed with Louise!!), I'd be even more thrilled if we could get a live show. I want to know how they're doing, hear some tales from their adventures and just have them sit down and chat for an hour. I haven't realized how much I like their live shows prior to them going on tour.

I do truly believe that the Phandom would benefit a lot from some guidance from but as @PolarFox said I don't think they will try something like this, or not soon anyway. While there aren't many "bad" fans in the Phandom, their existence and behavior is having a big impact on a lot of people, thus creating the constant drama (and yes, while I agree that we are all drama quuens, we could also use a little more chill in this enormous community).

Also, again, as @gnostic said could at least try to not encourage the "over the top" behaviour of the Phandom (things such as Pro tip, Don't cry. Craft and such). I know that Dan likes it when we all come together as this big family that could take over the internet in a matter of seconds but some things went a little too far sometimes aka the pro tip that can be seen everywhere on the internet and is still going strong one month later. There is a thin line in the Phandom between using a meme or phrase for that matter in a funny way and spamming the internet and other YouTubers comment section with that meme/phrase, that a lot of fans seem to cross at every chance they get.
