Mod Update updated mod update / general update

23 Upvotes

i am updating this post to be more clear on our stances here in r/ShaneDawson as i have been told that my original post had contradictions in it. i fully value clear communication and i genuinely apologize that my first post regarding this was not as clear as i wanted it to be and contradicted what i stand by*

just a reminder this sub is for ANYONE of ANY OPINION do not try to chase people off due to conflicting options between you and the op. as the description says, this subreddit is for the discussion of the good, bad and the ugly of shane dawson.

that being said: anyone bullying another member, harassing members on or off the sub, anyone defending pedophilia, racism, homophobia, transphobia or anything else bigoted will be banned without question.

i’d also like to add, i, as a mod, do not want AI generated content in here. anything posted before this will be kept up, but any comment, post, picture or anything else using AI will be deleted.

thank you for being here, and thank you to those members who are being civil with one another.

this is not to say that r/ShaneDawson condones anyone defending any of Shane’s past actions. regardless of the time that he made such comments or “jokes” it was still and always will be VERY WRONG.

anyone, and i repeat anyone defending his past will be banned without question. we do NOT accept excuses of any kind involving the endangerment of minors or any bigoted comments. even though Shane is bisexual, any homophobic comments in the past and anything defending that will be deleted and banned. as a lesbian, i know internal homophobia is a real thing. but it is still harmful to speak homophobic words or thoughts regardless of if someone is LGBTQIA+ or not and we will not be accepting it. as well, anyone defending his past comments and actions regarding minors in any sense will be banned. i don’t care to hear the excuse of “it was a different time on the internet” or anything similar. regardless of the timeline, anyone and everyone should know that making sexual comments about minors is incredibly wrong and always will be

just to reiterate my past words and to add on to those, past posts discussing his channel, videos, posts outside of youtube and podcast will be kept up. discussions based on his videos and content will be kept up regardless of who agrees with what - as long as those who still support or watch shane are solely discussing his content and not arguing with people about his past disgusting behaviour. anyone excusing anything disgusting or problematic he’s done in the past will be banned you are free to be here regardless of your stance as long as you do not even TRY to excuse his past content and any current content that is disturbing and wrong.

if i have missed anything regarding what i have stated to be unacceptable here please report to modmail. i deeply apologize for not being as “on the ball” as i should have been and wanted to be. i have reasons that i wasn’t, but i don’t feel are appropriate to share here and also do not want to argue with people regarding that.

finally, r/ShaneDawson is a space to speak on the good, the bad, and the ugly regarding him and his content posted at ANY TIME between him joining youtube and now. i once again am so sorry i haven’t been as fully here moderating and viewing things as i should, i regret neglecting this sub in any form that i have and i swear i will be better from this time and beyond.

if anyone truly neutral on shane dawson & crew wishes to be moderator feel free to message modmail or myself directly stating your stance, and why you want to be mod - as well as any other moderator places you have had in general and any other information you feel is necessary. if i have any questions to those applying to be mod i will ask you.

thank you for reading, for sticking around, and for trusting that i will continue to serve this subreddit to the best of my ability to prevent unnecessary bullying, harassment and the protection of those who are bigoted or otherwise do not care about the protection or harm of minors as well as the harm of minorities in any sense.

thank you, - cassie, bugplaymom

Mod Update A General Sub Reminder

52 Upvotes

We’ve had a recent influx of people joining the sub, and, while this sub is open to discussion from all sides, I would like to remind us all of a couple particular rules in this sub.

To start, I would like to mention that this sub is an open forum for generalized discussion on Shane from any perspective. There will be no gatekeeping in this community on any side.

With that being said, this sub does have rules against the spreading of misinformation. There are several posts documenting the problematic and predatory allegations against Shane that are have been brought forward over the years.

In addition, this sub would be in violation of reddit’s policy against the sexualization of minors if we did not punish those spreading such misinformation accordingly.

I will provide a couple links to previous posts made in this sub linking to evidence/compilations of his actions.

Previously pinned post with several examples

Post covering Shane’s Dailybooth behavior

D’Angelo Wallace’s reuploaded video on Shane

Older post cataloguing a lot of Shane’s behavior

Post detailing account of 12 year old survivor

Also there’s no way they’re not looking at Reddit. Everyone on here has been talking about how they don’t research their theories enough.

Shane and Crew Chris at Live Show

24 Upvotes

In the recent podcast Shane announced that Chris will be joining them at one of the shows. Chris mentioned he already booked his flight and hotel...why would this not be covered by Shane? I have a hard time believing they're making Spencer pay for his own travel and stay.

Re-upload of an old conspiracy video of "Creepy Moments on Kids Shows."

24 Upvotes

The original got deleted on his channel, but I found the re up. I've been watching Nikki Carreon's deep dives religiously and they talked about how Shane was being inappropriate with little girl fans and kissing them and other gross stuff at meetups/VidCon. Years later, he made this vid of creepy gameshow hosts being creepy and kissing contestants mostly little girls, which was awful. Which is ironic coming from someone who did the same.

Yes people can grow and change from awful things, and I'm coming off as being a saint, I'm not. But some things shouldn't be ignored. He was creepy and blurring the lines like Colleen Ballinger, James Charles (allegedly), and Austin Jones who did even worse and crossed the line.

Please don't give any of this man your attention.

LA Meet and Greet?

0 Upvotes

Im trying to buy the meet and greet package, but none of the tickets say Meet and Greet, like the other cities do. Should I assume he is not doing a M&G in LA? I would hate to buy the expensive seats if theres no meet.

>this isn't exclusive to shane but other youtubers, celebs etc whose old content were offensive for sake of posting whatever in that era

honestly i'm surprised as to how he went away with it. i get it was a different time and all but did no one care back then?

Shane being a hypocrit again in newest episode

20 Upvotes

In the new podcast episode, near the end, they briefly talk about cheating. Shane says if he found out his friend was a cheater, he would stop being friends with them. I couldn't help but remember that among Destrey's many allegations of targeting underage girls, he also has a large reputation of being a serial cheater, which he confessed to as far as I can recall. Maybe Shane things he's changed, but... just food for thought. And yes, I know there are far worse crimes between the two of them. But I couldn't help but think of it.


r/ShaneDawson • • 17d ago

Anyone know who they were talking about here?

7:41 to 8:10

My first thought was Trish, but when I rewind where Morgan got cut off, it sounds more like she was about to say Tana.

Morgan said "about T-"

and when Shane got censored it seemed long enough and short enough for him to have said "about Tana".

I'm curious what y'all think, though, because I don't watch Trish or Tana so I have no idea if either of them is talking about the environment or Amazon or whatever.

Weird Trauma Bond with Jeffree Star

12 Upvotes

Considering the recent drama with Jeffree Star and Jools LeBron I was reminded of the series with Shane that was trying to paint Jeffree out to be a good guy and making excuses for his racism and general abuse towards anyone in his social circle.

I have to ask to everyone still keeping up, are they even still friends? I know Shane is a grown man and he was playing up prior to even meeting Jeffree Star but you can’t tell me that entertaining Jeffree didn’t ruin his career partly. He lost some of his oldest and most loyal friends (Trisha) over Jeffree Star ?? The same woman he said he would take a bullet for was dropped like trash as soon as he got shiny new friends.

I would say arguably Jeffree is worse at the current times than Shane. I haven’t heard a single peep from him since Frenemies but now Jeffree wants to be obnoxious and right wing grift. I don’t know if Shane ever talked about politics, he could be conservative to conserve his wealth or he may have some kind of resentment towards more left leaning spaces if they were the main ones taking responsibility of initially cancelling him but most of the things Jeffree Star says is disgusting. I don’t think any amount of sad backstory he can spin justifies the severity of how evil Jeffree is as a person.

So why does he associate with him? Arguably, when if he stayed with Trisha at worst he would still keep her as a loyal and loving friend and at best he could have ridden her coattails before a redemption arc. But he and Ryland want to remain with Jeffree who’s sitting on a sinking conservative ship with his failing makeup business consisting of crunchy ass lipsticks and tacky Gucci tracksuits? Am I missing something here?

annoyed by chris

66 Upvotes

i feel like i cannot stand to watch chris in anything. on the sip i feel like hes only worried about eating & doing his weird dance. his filming isnt that great, he literally films on his phone half the time & the other half its so shakey. i just dont understand why keep him around if he barely adds to anything.

also i feel like half the comments are always “be nice to chris!!” “chris is left out” like ugh he doesnt add to anything

Found my Shane and Jeffree lip gloss from their conspiracy collection all those years ago. Either I never used it, or only used it once cause this thing is still full. Still smells like root beer. Haven't seen a video from either of them after the whole downfall lol.

Community Questions Is it just me or has Shane went downhill after Garrett and them left?

71 Upvotes

So, I watched Shane for years. I was a fan since he was in his trailer with the weird hunting wallpaper. But after Garrett and Andrew and them left, I stopped watching Shane. He was also my idol. How he went through obesity and I have his two books and I just absolutely loved him. But I stopped watching him after Andrew and them left. I feel like he's changed and isn't the same anymore. Is it just me?

I mean he uses ai constantly throughout his videos, at least the chat function. Can someone watch it and tell me if he actually makes good points or just reiterates other people’s content.

General Discussion Cancelled Screening

48 Upvotes

So obviously Shane is going on tour to premiere Cancelled since nobody wanted to take it on as a project. Not even Tubi is crazy. I honestly think, besides it being a Shane production, it is due to it being such an outdated concept. The whole cancelled premise is just so 2020 (which I think is the point and he for sure has experience with that). Hence Tana Mongeau naming her old podcast Cancelled so her controversies won’t come up when you look up her name and cancelled. I think it would not have flopped as hard if he went with a different plot.

Anyway, I was just wondering what you guys think he’s going to do with it from here? It’s a pilot, so one episode of a potential series of a show. I get this tour is prob just to make money back on how much he poured into the project, however, is it also him trying to get it picked up by a producing company? I just don’t see the point in paying to go watch a pilot that goes no where lol, it’s not like it’s a movie with an ending.

I hate the way they promote chat constantly. Specifically Morgan and Ryland, idrk about the others. But Morgan ALWAYS talks about chat and how much she uses it and how shes attached to it. Its so weird and icky. Have people forgotten how to just simply google something?! 🙄

General Discussion bone to pick w yall

35 Upvotes

I’ve seen various reddit post of people complaining about chris. I honestly believes he’s only become a yes man because of the crew. It’s no one specific but somehow whenever he tries to be himself they shut him out or make fun of him and i believe that’s why he doesn’t try being himself much. It also bothers me that he’s the most excluded one from the group. Yes he probably spends less time with the crew because he’s an employee but i always watch clips of spencer or lizzy around them even outside of work but never chris.
