no. that video is all jokes taken out of context and has all the punchlines removed. it also is illegal to claim someone is a pedofile and use 6 year old jokes as “proof”.

Shane Dawson’s comments are repulsive. I don’t care if it’s taken out of context, or a joke, or whatever other bullshit excuse he wants to use. Pedophilia is never a joke. Hearing someone talk about it so casually makes me sick to my stomach

I grew up. I changed my content. I apologized countless times for my shitty offensive jokes. instead of dragging me down people should use me as an example of a creator who can CHANGE and better themselves and their content. i’m so proud of who i am today.

it’s interesting that the more i speak out about things the more people try to “expose” me. makes me wonder whose behind the “exposing”? 🧐
