As a known Daniel enjoyer I feel like I need so speak on that podcast clip. Seeing the tone of shock humour of the podcast (or at least that's what seems to be their thing per the replies to the clip) which is the kind of humour I thought we had all moved past, I think the downfall already started by simply going and appearing on it. The jokes and expressions used are absolutely disgusting and I truly wish Daniel had the backbone to had said something at the time instead of just awkwardly trying to laugh it off and deflect. We all know Daniel has this "chill vibes, always happy" persona going on, he has already said stuff in the past I do not support and honestly shame on him.
At the same time, are we really surprised? I know at least half the grid would have reacted the same way, or even worse, if it was them. This is another reminder that at the end of the day they're not perfect and that we should not put them on a pedestal and even less have them as role models.
And I am NOT defending him, he should get out there and apologize for his involvement in something like this, he should really stand out there and go "that was wrong, it's bad and I need to educate myself so it doesn't happen again". And if you don't want to keep supporting him, that's cool! I will try to tag my posts of him always so that filters work.
