You can be a shitty, racist person with a successful career. How does the success of his movie change anything about his character? Or lack there of?

elgcrts answered:

Okay first of all he is not racist, he is a performer. If you knew anything about him you would know at least. It’s like Shane said, there is stuff similar ( or even worse ) than his videos all over television The Simpsons, South Park, Family Guy , etc but nobody makes a big deal out of it because it’s for the sake of comedy. From the arguments that I’ve seen on tumblr, people are hating on him because of “black face” and one of the screencaps that was used for said argument was a picture of him dressed up as Wendy Williams. SHANE DAWSON IS A COMEDIAN, HE WAS IMITATING ANOTHER PERSON AND DRESSED UP FOR THE PART, that doesn’t make him a racist, and nowhere in his video did he make fun of her for being black. He made fun of the entire show because it was supposed to be a parody.

You all need to educate yourself on what being a performer is before you go around insulting the strategy of someone so successful.

If you feel the need to talk about Shane Dawson why don’t you talk about all of his videos?

Like ” Why was I born” a video about a man who wanted to commit suicide but didn’t because he realized the world wouldn’t be better off without him.

Or the one where he addresses all the teens who are thinking about taking their own lives and encourages them to stay alive because the world has a lot to offer.

There’s also “High School Drama” where he talks about eating disorders in high school and all the pressure that the media puts on people to look perfect and teaches the viewers not to take shit from anyone and to love who you are.

You can’t judge someone’s character based on what you want to see. I understand people not agreeing with some of the things Shane does, but that doesn’t give them the right to make an assumption about who he is and spread it all over the internet just because they’re too pissy and close minded to understand what being a performer is.

And yes, I said I was I laughing at all the haters because while they’re too busy spreading their bias opinions on the tags, Shane’s dream of being an actor/director are finally coming true. He is a hardworking, caring man and deserves all the success in the world.

I woke up today and did my usual “just woke up” routine. I turned on the television for noise, grabbed my phone to check text messages, and walked to the bathroom. I checked Twitter, and I saw a tweet.

Today, instead of continuing my daily “get ready” rituals, I couldn’t help but need to rant.

Let’s talk about the Young and Menace music video for a second

Can we talk about the music video for a second? Because it tackles domestic violence and that’s so important. When you first see the video you think oh the girl literally lives with monsters and the magazine shows her what humans are, and she runs away because she thinks they’ve lied to her all her life. But when she gets to the beach, people don’t listen because she speaks in a monster-language, and then the human world scares her because she isn’t used to it and it overwhelmed her…but by the time you get to the end of the video you realise that actually her parents are humans and are only monsters metaphorically because of their abusive behaviour…and the little girl doesn’t discover humans with the magazine but discovers a happy family…and that’s not what she’s ever experienced in her life so she runs away, but when she gets to the outside world she realises people are unkind and aren’t always willing to help, to the point where she gets so overwhelmed and scared she goes back to the same routine of an abusive home, because she doesn’t know anything else. It’s such a clever and important video and I think we need to show some love for that too

If I was in charge of the Batman movie, I’d make the trailer go like this:

We see Gotham City. Dramatic music plays as the camera pans over the city. You see Wayne Manor, the Batmobile. You see Wonder Woman, Flash, Cyborg, and Superman, standing in a line as Batman walks away. Diana asks, “Have you ever had a team before?” and Bruce doesn’t respond.

Then the music changes to something sadder, nostalgic on Bruce’s face as he turns away from the JL and walks out of the room. A booming voice-over says “Ladies and Gentlemen, the Flying Graysons!”

A little boy’s voice says, “Try and catch me, you big boob!”

Ryan Potter says, “Batman needs a Robin, Bruce.”

A girl, “I missed this.”

A cheerful girl says, “Enemy of crime and people who don’t like purple.”

Another girl says, “I’d like to see you try and stop me from being Batgirl.”

And a boy says “Tt. You’re shorter than I expected.”

Bruce says, as he is almost completely covered in shadows, “I work alone.”

There is then a montage of someone pulling on purple gloves, pushing on glasses, pulling on a cowl, blue and black fingers grabbing an eskrima stick, a yellow cape being put on, someone’s black mask over her black hair, a gun being loaded.

Then it shows the six of them standing on a roof, just a quick shot, then it goes to the title card.

BATMAN, BATGIRL AND ROBIN: THE LEGACY

then it shows Bruce in civilian clothes, pushing open a door while he’s calling someone on his phone. He freezes, and it shows Dick doing a handstand with Damian balanced on his feet while Tim and Cass are filming it. Bruce sighs.

“You know what, Selina, I’m gonna have to call you back.”

I composed a symphony of explanations;
Music notes danced upon apologies,
A whirlwind of ways I could let you go,
Forget you ever existed,

But you tend to linger, don’t you?
Your gangly figure obscured by sturdy oak trees,
Never reaching out, never speaking,
Watching, waiting, aching.

No words,
Only silence.

And if I am being honest, my deafened ears
Would hurt less if this music hadn’t stopped,
If you spoke, screamed,
For I can no longer hear melodies.

You have snapped strings,
And this remaining silence echoes,
It always echoes.
Louder than thunder.
