There is nothing to being a mentally ill 14 year old fan of shane dawson in the 2015-2018 era. That man travelled to a town absolutely devastated by the 2018 forest fire, people who lost absolutely everything, and just turned to the camera and was like “a laser in space is the reason for this. The government did it.” And you would just be like yep. Checks out.

#to be fair I remember watching this one and knowing it was stupid but it was funny so I watched it #btw this is a real video that has probably 20+ million views #conspiracy era Shane Dawson is a cultural phenomena #I could talk for hours about the impact he had on young teens 2015-2018 #don’t be mistaken that an entire other essay can be written about his impact on young teens with his videos from 2008-2015 #two very different (and equally awful) people were involved there #I could talk about shane dawson and what his ‘cancellation’ did to me #I hate to use the word cancelation because what happened was so much more than that and what he’s done is way worse #but it’s the best word to use #a micro internet celeb youtuber Jake Dolottle will hate watch his newest videos every now and then and I watch every single one #I will have a physical reaction if I head the name Shane Dawson #the impact on my psyche when it was revealed how awful he is #and the livestream #it makes me genuinely upset #blah blah blah it’s your fault for being parasocial blah blah blah #girl I was 14 and wanted to kill myself #I had no good adult figures and this was a person I thought understood me shut up #I wasn’t even going to write in the tags I just can’t help myself #I know people joke about ___ is my Roman Empire but shane Dawson’s impact on young teens 2015-2018 including his past is my Roman Empire #by a lot too #I’m getting a degree in history at college and I am more interested in that topic #rae’s rambles
