Shane Dawson fires back at trolls for insulting his weight Shane Dawson, YouTubeYouTube star Shane Dawson took a hiatus from social media after revealing rude comments on his videos that insulted his weight \u2014 but now, he\u2019s firing back with a pointed response to the haters. Dawson opened up about his seemingly sporadic upload schedule in a soul-bearing Tweet on February 19, which included a screenshot of a hateful message that targeted his body. \u201cI love Shane, but it\u2019s a d**n shame to watch him putting all this weight back on while everyone around him laughs and enables it,\u201d the commenter wrote. Hey Shane why don\u2019t u post more? Why don\u2019t u upload more? Well\u2026 this \ud83d\ude43 you would think after 13 years on youtube comments wouldn\u2019t get to me but damn\u2026 they still feel like the very first time haha pic.twitter.com\/c1CfJIv1Lf\u2014 Shane Dawson (@shanedawson) February 19, 2020 The YouTuber admitted that comments like these prevent him from uploading on a regular basis, and announced that he would be taking a step back from social media due to the rude trolls and being in a \u201cweird headspace.\u201d Now, Dawson has made his return to YouTube with another video, where he gave an explicit message to any haters hoping to body-shame him in future uploads. Thanks for the nice tweets. I appreciate it a lot. Sorry I got sensitive and posted that. I usually just ignore stuff but I\u2019m just in a weird headspace lately :\/ I think I\u2019m gonna take a break from the internet for a bit. Thanks for being supportive and having my back \u2764\ufe0f \u2014 Shane Dawson (@shanedawson) February 19, 2020 His March 6 upload opened with a montage of celebrity news hosts discussing his Tweet, later panning to a shot of the star working out on a stationary bike alongside his personal trainer in a small gym. \u201cListen, my only response is gonna be \u2018f**k you,\u2019\u201d he said of the issue. \u201cPeople who make fun of people\u2019s weight, or attack people\u2019s weight, literally f**k you. You\u2019re gonna die soon. I know it. I can feel it. I\u2019m a psychic.\u201d That\u2019s not all: he went on to reveal that he will no longer be talking about his weight or joking about the matter, and even gave some well-intentioned advice to those suffering from fat-shaming comments online. \u201cDon\u2019t let things that people say on the internet bother you,\u201d he advised. \u201c\u2026whatever people are saying about you is just a projection of how they feel about themselves, or they just want attention.\u201d (Segment begins at 1:46 for mobile readers) It\u2019s no secret that social media can be toxic, especially towards those with a massive online following \u2014 but Dawson isn\u2019t going to give his haters the satisfaction of letting their words affect him any longer, and we\u2019re here for it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
