i think shane dawson is way more sinister than just being problematic or having bad judgement.. we know about him normalizing racist (etc) behavior and making excuses for all those shitty youtubers but then on the other side of his channel he totally made conspiracy theories as a genre legitimate in the minds of teenagers... like all the shane dawson fans at my school literally formed a conspiracy club in which they discussed all the antisemitic / right wing theories.. we talk about how pewdiepie is harmful for the same reasons but shane dawson is such a gift to fascists
