Recently @danisnotonfire uploaded a video called âDan Reacts to Childhood Videosâ . It was a great video - I, amongst many others, loved it. But there are people making these absolutely ridiculous assumptions that are kind of pissing me off.
First, people are going crazy about a comment Dan made where he said âwell that explains a lotâ when he saw a clip of fetus Dan singing along to âBarbie Girlâ by Aqua. People are getting crazy, saying that Dan has come out on camera, taking it way too literally for my, and many othersâ, liking. It might have been just a small remark that Dan didnât even think about when he said it. It might have no meaning whatsoever. Or maybe it WAS a slip of the tongue where he accidentally hinted that he was gay (/bi/pan/demi etc.) Either way, so what? Sure, itâs great to be supportive and enthusiastic about his supposed âcoming outâ but people are openly FORCING THE IDEA ONTO HIM. This is NOT okay. He probably already has loads on his mind right now and doesnât want this kind of rude behavior plastered everywhere. The thing is WE DONâT KNOW about his love life. We shouldnât feel that we have the need to. Itâs HIS life, and only his.
Second of all, people keep talking shit about Danâs parents, and how his grandparents are âthe only parental figures he hasâ etc. DAN DOESNâT NEED TO TALK ABOUT HIS PARENTS AND/OR FAMILY. Phil talks about his mum and brother loads, but THAT DOESNâT MEAN DAN HAS TO. For all we know, Dan has great parents who he absolutely loves. Or maybe they really were shit parents. Or maybe he doesnât have any parents at all. The thing is, we shouldnât have the need to know this type of personal stuff. Itâs his choice on whether or not he wants to share. HIS and HIS ONLY.
And finally, Danâs jumper in the video. Itâs a fuckload of pounds (in my mind anyway) but THATS OKAY. Dan is allowed to wear expensive stuff. Heâs a youtuber with over 5 million subscribers, heâs bound to make a lot of money. Itâs his style, his fashion choices, and everyoneâs going batshit about how expensive it is. Surely Danâs starting to feel a bit self conscious about it. Just STOP BUGGING HIM ABOUT EVERY TINY THING HE SAYS OR DOES.
This happened ages ago with Danâs brother Adrian where Adrian was harassed on tumblr because of his brotherâs subscriber count. Maybe thatâs why he doesnât mention anyone of immediate family anymore. Thatâs how far itâs gone.
The phandom is a wonderful place where phans get to meet, become friends and unite in their love of Dan and Phil. But it is also a horrible place of assault, violation and harassment.
Sorry to anyone not interested or unaware of the topic who had to read that. I just wanted to get my views across.
