Former YouTuber Shane Dawson says his career is \u201cover\u201d YouTube: Ryland AdamsDuring a surprise appearance in fianc\u00e9 Ryland Adams\u2019 vlog, Shane Dawson made reference to his troubled year following the resurfacing of some of his old YouTube content. Appearing towards the end of Ryland\u2019s video, the two can be seen out on a shopping trip. Eyeing up a large plastic red horse, Shane quipped: \u201cI know that I\u2019m weird, and I know that my career\u2019s over and I know I\u2019m that crazy guy who buys weird toys.\u201d Several fans were unimpressed with Dawson\u2019s blas\u00e9 attitude toward his past controversies. As one former fan on Twitter put it: \u201cThe sh*t he\u2019s done is really serious. And yet\u2026 He\u2019s essentially just laughing it off. I used to be a big fan of him. Now I feel kinda\u2026 Shamed almost.\u201d Agreeing with these sentiments, a second Twitter user added: \u201cWhy is he acting like what he did was quirky and funny. He did some seriously f***ed up stuff\u2026\u201d Another fan questioned Shane\u2019s intentions with this comment, accusing him of seeking pity: \u201cMaybe it\u2019s just me, but this feels EXTREMELY manipulative. I can picture him writing out these pity talking points, & then, writing a list of possible responses that he thinks his words with illicit from actual empathetic people.\u201d Shane Dawson\u2019s lucrative YouTube empire came crumbling down in July 2020, where the backlash to an apology video he posted led to some of his old skits resurfacing, which included content like blackface, racial stereotyping, and other topics that don\u2019t fly as comedy in 2021. Although he has posted sporadically on his Instagram since the backlash, he has largely remained silent on other social media. Shane has most recently been called out by Trisha Paytas, a fellow YouTuber and his former friend of twelve years. Recounting a trip to Las Vegas with \u201cmean girls\u201d Jeffree Star and HairByJay, Paytas revealed in a YouTube video that she was body-shamed and ridiculed throughout the trip. With Dawson staying predictably silent on the drama, Paytas criticized him for constantly \u201cpromoting\u201d Star and, allegedly, speaking poorly about Trisha himself. \u201cThis is someone I\u2019ve never lied to and never said one bad word about for twelve years,\u201d she said. \u201cI find out every day, more and more nasty s**t he said about me.\u201d She added: \u201cIt just goes to show what horrible human beings they are. They think that if they don\u2019t address stuff, it just goes away. And that is the truth because a lot of people won\u2019t have to take accountability for their actions and for being a s**tty person because the internet forgets stuff and the drama moves on.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
