THE HAT STAYS ON

They went about the hiatus in the completely wrong way imo. I believed them when they said the gaming channel was coming back, so when time passed, and it became evident that it most likely wasn't, it felt like a betrayal. If they had just told us their intentions from the beginning, we would have been sad, but we would have gotten over it eventually and moved on. I feel like they intentionally strung us along so people would stick around for Phil's videos and Dan's solo projects and I really didn't appreciate having my emotions manipulated like that. It soured my feelings about Dan especially and made me distrustful of dnp. It's all water under the bridge now, but there is still a sour taste in my mouth whenever they talk about it.

yeah, exactly anon. I share very similar feelings about the whole hiatus mess too. I maintain that the biggest problem was communication (or lack of). we're still learning that we were most likely deceived, plain and simple. they knew, they did a whole tour about it and couldn't actually tell us when it came to it.

I feel the same way re: the hiatus because I remember that infamous liveshow they did when they announced the hiatus and god I would love for them to talk about it now because while yes, they announced dapg was going on a break, they also said nothing would be changing, they talked about doing mukbangs, baking, etc (yes, I remember that liveshow word for word, it was that traumatic) which was a weird thing to say knowing they never intended to come back? Like, why did they even say that? That’s something I don’t think they’ll ever address, but it has always perplexed me. I guess they didn’t want to upset their audience too much? Not that it worked, but still

Right?! And we held on to the idea that things weren't really changing, it was just the gaming channel, Dan would appear in Phil's videos! And turns out they were lying? Or did they actually think they'd get around to it but just rarely did? Not to be dramatic or anything but the more they talk about it the more I feel that pang in my heart for my past self - for all of us actually. Because I went back and reread some asks calming people down in the aftermath. People were really anxious and worried after the liveshow and we really came together and talked each other through it, reaffirming that it would be fine because nothing was changing. And it wouldn't, at least then they had no plan to. That's crazy to think about.

I have a love/hate relationship with the whole hiatus talk because I feel so deceived when they talk about it. I went back on my blog to december 2018, read the discourse we were having at the time and it was pretty clear how hopeful for the future we were and how we had calming words to keep going because they LIED (in the liveshow where they announced the hiatus). I know we are on the other side and everything is so much better and all that, but I still remember how bittersweet it felt to click on the dapg announcement vid and how long it took me to trust them again. So yeah, I'm glad we're talking but the lies and lack of communication still make my chest tighten a bit. Apparently. Oh well.
