Shane Dawson catching heat for old blackface videos

The thing that bothers me about him is he never truly seems remorseful and always comes off selfish. The video where he wanted to make money off of Jeffree attests to this. Did he ever truly apologise for blackface?

does anyone remember that movie, "White Chicks"? Is anyone ever going to talk about that and the societal double standards?

True, the movie does have some tasteless jokes but imo the whole thing was a brilliant comment on white people doing black face. Plus, reverse racism is not a thing.

No, I don't believe she should have been CANCELLED for it. That's not to say I support it, because it was a racist and low brow not-funny joke.

We will just have to agree to disagree about that then. For me anyone who makes a racist statement deserves to be cancelled. However it’s not really up to me or you, assuming that’s you in your profile pic, because we are not POC. Only POC can truly decide to forgive or cancel those who make racist statements about their communities. We can have our own opinions about it but they really don’t matter at the end of the day.

I'm just so over the whole influencer/youtuber/tiktoker/instagrammer deal. It's unbelievable the amount of stupid stuff kids do these days to have their 5 minutes of fame. I'm so tired of it all. People need to be held accountable for their actions, and yet, cancel culture often seems to be oddly misused and blown out of proportion. As a society we should be having more conversations about what's ok and what isn't on social media.

This is so stupid. You cant hold someone accountable for something they did as a comedy skit like 10 years ago with the same standards people are held up to today. it was a MUCH different time back then and everyone was being as offensive as they could to get likes and attention because people thought it was funny!!

Shane Dawson is not a racist... its a comedy skit. Once everyone stops trying to cancel everyone for everything they have ever done or said the internet would be a much happier place like it used to be.

and im not saying people should go back to doing blackface for views and likes but its ridiculous how PC everyone is forced to be due to cancel culture and people who cant take a joke

An earlier version of myself may have wanted to drag Shane to filth for this stuff, but I’ve said some f*cked up stuff and am embarrassed I fell into such a hateful crowd. Do I think it was acceptable that Shane made those statements and got off scott free? Hell no. Your past is still yours and you should be held accountable for realizing how damaging your actions are and how you’ve changed. I’ve come to realize the idea of canceling just makes no sense, at all, and in most cases it doesn’t work or we go after the wrong people. We should quickly replace this toxic cancel culture with a culture of accountability and proving that you’ve changed and how your past doesn’t reflect who you are today, but is still something you did and you should apologize for. No one will change when an aggressive social media frenzy is ready to come for their neck at any moment.

The people in here saying forgive and forget because these videos are old are part of the problem, and why the most problematic celebrities are never cancelled and STILL here. Hold them accountable! 
 

They’re sitting in their mansions typing out forced, half-assed apologies while the people they offend/mock/culture-appropriate live the real-life everyday struggle and face injustice daily. The YouTube scene is nothing but problematic, racist trash and how they have so many supporters is beyond me.

 

People like Shane, Jeffree, hell even Kim K, 69, JB and plenty of other celebs should have been done for but people are dumb and prefer entertainment over doing the right thing. America in general is a joke because entertainment is valued over everything, hence why there is a clown in the White House. 

So what are you doing in a Lady gaga forum when she worked with two rapists and said on numerous interviews that the media was lying about them?

I don't support cancel culture at all unless it's a much more serious offense than some ill attempt at humor.

See: R. Kelly and Bill Cosby for examples of who should have be cancelled.

See: Roseanne Barr for an example of someone who shouldn't have been cancelled.

 No sis. Roseanne deserved to be cancelled in the 90s. She just exacerbated it with her tweet in 2017. She’s not good people. 

And Paula Abdul ain’t got [BLEEP] on me!

I LOVE GGD

I only know him for being the guy who wanted to be skinny and then got back to being obese.

(No body shaming but that's what I know him for)

The whole “let’s cancel Shane every year for something he did over a decade ago” thing is so tired. He has clearly grown since then and has apologized countless times. His whole thing back then was doing edgy jokes and he went too far and he seems to understand that now. So let the dude live. You wouldn’t like it if someone brought up something stupid you said or did ten years ago.

White people are the majority, therefor reverse racism does not exist. 
white face is not a thing, because white people didn’t have white face used to occupy white roles in media. Do y’all not realize how tone deaf these “if the roles were reversed” situations sound because reverse racism is literally that ridiculous?

Is someone promoting their Twitter account perhaps? This tweet - about a tired controversy - only has 50 likes. :laughga: This is not news.

Now sis, the New York Post article they linked to is :air: 

Have your opinion and all but don't just disregard it as "not news" when it's literally on a news site :sharon:
