xcx 1,213 Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 I don’t like Shane Dawson and Jeffree Star, and I think they’ve done some pretty horrible things. Obviously, everyone knows about their racist pasts, them using the N word, and Shane doing blackface and building a career off of it; however, I want to make light of the James Charles drama instead because a lot of people don’t care about their racism for some reason. It’s disgusting how they ganged up on him and tried to make him out to be a predator even after all of the allegations turned out to be lies. Jeffree even said that he had receipts and that James is a “danger to society,” but then he made a video saying he was going to be the better person and not continue the drama. If you have proof of someone being a predator and a danger society, then you have a duty to share that information. If you don’t share that information, it means that you’re an accomplice to their crimes. Him saying he’s being the “bigger person” is just code for him not having any receipts and the fact that he was lying about someone being a predator in order to destroy their career. Shane still works with him after all that, and even supported him throughout the “drama.” It’s also impossible to ignore that this entire docuseries being made is basically an advertisement for their new palette; it’s just disguised as a documentary. The only reason they’ve come together to make this palette is for money. Shane Dawson doesn’t have anything to do with make up, and he knows nothing about it. After it’s released, you all know he won’t be wearing it. This is just a cash grab, and it’s sad to see so many people supporting this friendship that’s built on money. People always rant about “cancel culture,” but if it was really effective at all then these two wouldn’t be two of the most popular influencers in the world.

Delusional 9,221 Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 This person clearly hasn’t seen the documentary and yes obviously it’s an advertisement for the palette as mentioned by Shane, Jeffree and even Morphe. This is advertisement in the beauty industry like never done before. They’ve opened doors, exposed lies, uncovered the truth. People like you are why cancel culture thrives because you base yourselves off of silly little mistakes people made 10 YEARS AGO. ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️BANNED TILL SEPTEMBER‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryusei 61,110 Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 I‘ve been kind of hate-watching this latest series and 2 things in particular stood out to me: 1. Shane couldn‘t care less about makeup and only cares about the money, like they are trying so hard to make it look like: oh look he‘s so into makeup. Obviously a marketing ploy. Whenever money is mentioned his eyes light up and he‘s REEEAAALLLY interested and 2. The blatant lies like: I have never sold thousands of anything or had merch in a store etc, when he had shirts at hot topic before any other youtuber + 2 books on top of the new york times bestseller lists which sold thousands for sure. And then we‘re supposed to feel sorry for a man who lives in a huge house with a lot of land surrounding it as well who is a millionaire for sure because he doesn‘t have as many millions as some other youtubers? Like what? Like he blatantly complained about how he doesn‘t have as much money as other youtubers.... all this series is is a huuuuge cash grab (i mean we could see the merch he sold improptu sold out in 30 minutes and made over 500k$ in the first 20 so... CASH in big numbers) which is fine but then don‘t pretend to be so into what you‘re selling.. like... name it by name. Musery Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And having watched Shane for about a decade now, I can say with pretty good confidence it's not about the money for him. Sure, it's an excellent bonus and everyone loves money, but that wasn't his intentions here. Even if it was, so what? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you miss the part about what they did to James Charles? That was less than a year ago. Also, they aren’t just “silly little mistakes.” They did racist things. I do forgive people, but they were both adults when they did those things. It wasn’t them being ignorant kids. As grown people, they should’ve known better.

Gurl they havent shown sh*t i have watched all episodes and the whole toofaced nikkietutorials thing was STALE tea. EVEN HE knew about all that stuff already because jeffree told him about it on his podcast but then he pretended to be sooo shocked when they rehashed it for the series lol We have already seen the whole factory and how palettes are assembled etc. in the first jeffree star series which was interesting. This new one not really. It‘s really just shane‘s part in it which isn‘t particularly big considering jeffree steered him a lot into certain directions and him and his team did most of the work and shane wasnt involved in the whole entire process.. it could have been a good series but imo it lacks a lot of depth like what i really wanna know about the manufacturing of the makeup. Like we dont see anything about ingredients like what are they and where do they come from, what does anna like show her work process when she does the example boxes and her work with designers and manufacturers.

SEANGT 5,271 Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Okay 20 minutes of googling later, I can't find any reason to "cancel" jeffree star over racism. He said horrible racist things as a dumb myspace kid & learned better & apologized. That doesn't mean anyone has to like him or forgive him. But I think it's worth noting that the person he is today isn't out being a white supremacist. Shane....even more so, the stuff against him is....silly. You guys need to chill before you jump on the bandwagon and think people are absolutely evil. The series is absolutely a 6-hour ad campaign. But it was interesting. Shane is obviously very well-off, but like anyone, feels like he should be doing better when looking at his peers. This was a fun inside look at that process. I don't think it's all staged or inauthentic. Is he insecure and all "aw poor-me" when he shouldn't be? Absolutely. But that's how he really feels. There's no big drama or anything to hate on here that I can find. I watched the entire series so far. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have loved shane from like 2013-2015 and then he just started to sell out in my opinion and money became the only thing important to him. He just really turn me off to watching his content and it is really sad Pop Music and Lady Gaga forever! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes he started out poor but that is long ago... like he made that youtube buck. Otherwise he wouldn‘t live in the house he lives in now. I think his consistency (up until recently) with uploading and staying relevant is very admirable but this series just ain‘t it. So tell me about what else it‘s about? He literally did this because Jeffree told him about how much money his business makes in the first series and now in this series you see shane crying around how he doesn‘t have as much money as Tana Mongoose or David Dobrik or James Charles... like... he made it seem like: oh this is a documentary on the beauty industry and how to manufacture a palette etc. If that was the case they could have taken some makeup artist who has never had the chance to make a palette and show their process making a palette with jeffree star and his team. But Shane didn‘t care about makeup until he heard how much money it makes Jeffree... that stuff aside the editing is... something like we‘re jumping around from topic to topic in a matter of seconds sometimes.. which I get the intention behind but it doesn‘t get across the way it is meant.

I have seen others begin to mimic his recent style as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
