When I first saw the title of Stephenās video I couldnāt believe it. ,,He has to be joking, right?ā. I wish it was a joke. Some dumb clickbait we will be angry about for a few minutes.
I respect Stephenās decision and Iām sure it wasnāt easy for him to make it. Iām heartbroken it went that far, but Iām happy that he isnāt forcing himself to drag this out. Iām glad heās doing what is best for him and his mental health.
Stephen contributed so much to this channel and without him itāll never be the same. Heās much more than just an employee. Heās part of Danplan. Heās amazing and fun. His personality was so unique, he had put so much effort in his persona. He had never failed to make me laugh even at my worst days. Heās so nice at his streams. Iāve been fortunate enough to ask him a question! (I canāt describe how relieved I was when he didnāt make fun of my English and my accent).
DONāT HARASS DANIEL! We donāt know the whole story, but even if we did, heās still a person with feelings. Heās a human. And humans make mistakes. We can just hope that Daniel releases his before itās too late. Yes, he said and did a lot of hurtful things. Iām disappointed in him like all of the fandom. But harassing him wonāt do anyone any good. Especially not him. Iām waiting for his video and explanation.
I feel sorry for Hosuh, who tried so hard to hold everything together and animators, who got caught by the crossfire.
I love Danplan. Iām not sure when I started watching them, but I remember watching one of their videos where Stephen was talking about going to the Disneyland and I hoped that it would be possible. They had about 850 thousand subscribers then, if Iām not wrong. I loved it so much that I recommended them to everyone I know. (Or more like annoyed them with it until they gave up and watched at least one video). Danplan was always and escape for me, when I had bad day. I watched all of their videos at least a few times.
It was Danplan that inspired me to draw. (Like seriously, I had drawn so much of them⦠I canāt even count how many pages I filled up with them). I wouldnāt be here, on tumblr, drawing fanarts if it werenāt for them. They were the ones who gave me the final āpushā I needed to actually draw and post that stuff. I even wanted to do animation. I have a few ideas already and storyboards for three of them, but after everything that happened⦠I donāt know if Iāll ever do it. Maybe if Stephen will be okay with us still doing fanart with him and the guys. If not then⦠wellā¦
Also, I love Fanplan. Iām so glad Iām part of it. Itās one of the most welcoming, warm communities Iāve ever come across.
ā¦At least part of it. I tend to ignore the disrespectful brats, whose comments I sometimes see, but now itās worse. Because they donāt give Daniel a chance to explain himself. I get it ā youāre hurt and confused. We all are. But donāt we own to Daniel to at least hear his side of the story? And be DECENT HUMAN BEINGS? AND NOT MONKEYS THROWING CRAP AT ANOTHER MONKEYS?
I feel hurt and upset. I never wouldāve guessed something like that will happen. That Daniel would do something like this. I feel like Iāve been betrayed. I canāt imagine what Stephen felt all this time and even now.
Nothing will be the same anymore. And I canāt stop crying when I think about it.
I stand by and fully support Stephen, and Iām so proud that he made choice what was right for him. But after all this time I owe Daniel the benefit of the doubt. I owe him a chance to explain himself.Ā
