Gabbie Hanna apologizes after being slammed for \u201cableist\u201d comments YouTube: Gabbie HannaYouTuber and singer Gabbie Hanna has apologized to fans after she came under fire for \u201cableist\u201d comments regarding tone indicators on Twitter. Gabbie Hanna first found success on viral-video app Vine, but after the platform shut down in 2016, the content creator moved onto YouTube where she now has over six million subscribers on her main channel. She\u2019s also gone on to release two poetry books and pursue a singing career, releasing several singles, however, the star has been widely criticized online on apps like TikTok for previous controversial behavior. This time, the controversy surrounded comments she made online regarding tone indicators. Tone indicators are letters and symbols that some people put at the end of their tweets to clarify the individual\u2019s emotion and intent, and are widely used among neurodivergent people online. In response to a Twitter user\u2019s explanation and list of useful tone indicators, Gabbie replied: \u201cy\u2019all be doing way too f***ing much,\u201d and when the user asked, \u201csis, where\u2019s your tone indicator?\u201d the YouTuber replied, \u201cmy tone is y\u2019all doing way too f***ing much.\u201d However, she was immediately met with backlash, many people calling her comments \u201cableist.\u201d This then lead to the influencer posting an apology on Twitter. \u201cSorry to any of my neurodivergent fans who were hurt by that,\u201d she wrote. \u201cI hope you know that\u2019s never my intention. Today is the first day I heard the term tone indicators, I thought my fans were f***ing with me for being sensitive. Ironically, this could have been avoided with a tone indicator\u201d https:\/\/twitter.com\/GabbieHanna\/status\/1365847532903952384 The poster of the original tone indicators list then explained some more background information behind the tweets. She clarified that: \u201cmy tweet about tone indicators DID stem from a Patreon livestream that had JUST ended. When Gabbie said \u2018ya\u2019ll be doin too much\u2019 she meant us, her patrons.\u201d She went on to say that \u201cit was an inside joke taken out of context, not a dig at people who need tone indicators.\u201d https:\/\/twitter.com\/GabbieHanna\/status\/1365875203998289921 Gabbie then quote-tweeted that comment and added: \u201cI deadass thought Rachel made that list for me as a joke because I was butthurt on Patreon about them roasting me for starting my album over.\u201d People\u2019s response to the situation was mixed, but the conversation around her comments eventually ended up getting Gabbie Hanna to trend on Twitter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
