Pt 3: 2- The stigma of danger and violence in terms of mental health is being perpetuated. 3 - Assumptions about a person’s diagnosis were made without their consent and using subjective criteria and information.

The thing is that Shane is just about as informed about this topic as the general public. He doesn’t have any credentials, and he doesn’t owe us anything as far as education goes. He makes a disclaimer at the beginning of part 3 (he assumed that people would know automatically, which was the main problem of parts 1+2) to let us know that he is labeling this as pure entertainment. The disclaimer also states that he isn’t diagnosing anyone. He is using the tools that he has and the information he’s learning throughout each video to form his opinion, which most likely won’t be fully revealed until the final episode. We all clearly know that now, and it’s up to each person to decide if that’s content they are interested in or not. Remember that this series OVERALL isn’t about psychology or sociopathy. It’s about who the Paul family really is. Shane’s strongsuit is listening, learning, and helping. Jake said that he was willing to partake in that. We saw videos of him and learned a bit about the mental state he might be in, we saw videos of the family, and next we will see interviews with the people closest to him. It sounds entertaining and I am not offended by it. That’s all I want from a youtube series like this.

All Shane is doing is essentially click baiting with the “scary sociopath” If he was genuinely just interested as to why the Paul brothers act like such intolerable idiots, there are hundreds of ways to go about a documentary. But repeatedly saying “sociopath” in the first part.. it’s transparent what he’s doing. But also the scare tactics about sociopaths is so wrong. It’s telling the world that this is how they act, which isn’t the truth. Shane’s uneducated and shouldn’t be doing this.

Logan Paul was correct in his video when he said that sociopathy exists as a spectrum. This means that some people have more dangerous tendencies than others. In part 2, Shane lets us watch as he learns mostly about the more extreme side of this spectrum- the ones who actually ARE a danger to the people around them.

My opinion:

Shane and Andrew used the b-roll footage and scary effects to serve as a warning that dangerous sociopaths do exist. Is it over-dramatic? Of course. It’s entertainment and Shane has always been an over-dramatic person. But it doesn’t bother me because even though his reactions can be over-the-top, they still stem from the way he genuinely feels.

As someone who is currently going to school to for psychology, and has been consistently diagnosed since childhood with lower-end sociopathic tendencies, I am not offended by this series. From my perspective, Shane and the psychologist had a casual discussion about the spectrum of sociopathy where they both gave personal opinions as to how they felt about the most extreme cases. The video definitely could have been structured more clearly, because it left some people confused about what level of sociopathy they were discussing at certain points. A better way to do it would have been to start at the lower end of the spectrum and work their way up, all while being more clear about what are just their personal opinions. Fortunately, Part 3 was much more clear and organized, and you can see that Shane doesn’t have any hate in his heart for the people who lie on the spectrum.

Moving forward, we have been shown evidence that Greg, Logan, and Jake all currently exhibit dangerous behavior in their videos. The goal of this series is to figure out where it’s all coming from, and hopefully give everyone a better idea about what sort of content we can expect from the Pauls in the future.

Shane’s New Video

My opinion:

It seems legitimately possible that Jake Paul is an actual sociopath. And despite my dislike for Jake, I’m really looking forward to Shane and his interviewees views on the whole situation. I think lots of people are forgetting the importance of investigating potentially dangerous people, even if you don’t support them. I’m hoping Shane can showcase all the facts, good or bad, and we can all form our own opinions from there. From a psychological standpoint, this series looks to be incredibly fascinating and I can’t wait for part 2.

Part 2 Update:

Some people are upset that part 2 shows sociopaths in a creepy, negative light. In my opinion, the people that they’re referring to, (the ones who ARE extremely manipulative and a danger to the people around them) can rightfully be called creepy. And I personally don’t care if the psychologist was “acting professional” or not. She gave us the facts by reading them straight from a book. The fact is, there are creepy and dangerous sociopaths out there. This video was exaggerated to be entertaining but also a serious warning. Take it or leave it, but a true sociopath isn’t going to be offended. They just don’t care enough. Also feel free to watch Shane’s snapchat where he addresses this “issue”.

I’ve been seeing a lot of hate for Shadow of the Tomb Raider (Sept. 14 2018) and I just wanted to put my opinion out there.

So I jumped into the TR series with Tomb Raider 2013, and from an “outside” perspective, I can genuinely say that this new trilogy is incredibly entertaining. I know lots of people don’t want to take off their nostalgia glasses or would’ve rather just seen the series die, but for someone like me who was too young to get the chance to play the classic TR games in their heyday, I’m very appreciative that I can still experience a similar feeling of fun and empowerment. Even as a person who didn’t REALLY start playing video games like this until around 2008, I still grew up knowing that Lara Croft’s name was synonymous with a strong, beautiful, intelligent, YOUNG woman. And for a young woman like me, Lara’s more modern relatable characteristics are what really made me fall in love with this new franchise. Seeing her actually have internal emotional struggles and doubts about her future (rather than some 90’s badass who can basically just get through anything emotionally unscathed) is super important for modern character development in my opinion. I also love the amount of detail they’re adding to the civilization Lara gets to explore. For me, collectibles like documents, relics, and side-quests are super fun to find and read/learn about, because part of the reason I like to play the new TR games is for their (albeit fictitious) cultural and environmental depth. I can’t wait to explore and be educated about every inch of this untouched world, and for me, I can already tell this experience will be well worth the price I pre-ordered the croft edition for :D
