Maybe if you didn't HIDE all the damn time you wouldn't get CALLED that-!

won't lie, most of what i've seen on tumblr is memes. Instagram tho??? horrid.

also, someone yell @ me next time there's a controversy to not sort by "newest comments" lol

I guess they realized it's weird if they're called Watcher and don't let anyone watch them

OH and quick reminder before I forget!

Companies are not your friends, even Content Creators that put up the parasocial mask to make you feel comfortable. Their aim is to make money off of you above all else. Remember that in the wake of this. Watcher is a company

Ryan and Shane and Steven are business people

Money will always be the thing that binds them to fans.

They are not the exception, they just showed VERY CLEARLY that they are the rule.

Continue consuming their content. I know I will be if anything piques my interest. But remember they are a Company and this is how they have to survive.

What people should be learning from the last three days; be careful who you support financially and emotionally, YouTubers/celebrities are not your friends, ignorance and arrogance can destroy you faster than a landslide, your faves are not exempt from criticism, don’t have racist and homophobic friends, don’t comment on the problematic nature of your husband’s business decision before he does, and listening to criticism is important

Now that this whole Watcher debacle has had some resolution, can we discuss the blatant racism that runs RAMPANT in this fanbase? The way so many of you were throwing solely Steven Lim under the bus is DEPLORABLE. And it was clear to see you guys were also quicker to blame Ryan than ever let even a hint of the blame fall on Shane's shoulders. Shane isn't your poor little white boy who can do no wrong. He's a fully grown man. In the video, it's Shane who specifically says that the THREE of them had made the decision to switch to streaming, and I bet it's because they saw your horrible comments about Steven "seizing total control of the company" and "poor Shane he looks like he didn't want a single part of this." Yall can act like you think it's because Steven's the CEO that caused you to lash out this way even though you yourself know that they don't operate in the traditional dynamics of the company. They all founded the company. You can pretend it's because of that, when we KNOW why you guys threw Steven (as well as Ryan) under the bus while you glorified Shane. I'm disgusted.

Remember. the only reason they walked it back is because they lost money and subscribers. Not because they care about you UwU

So, fandom, have we learned our lesson about parasocial relationships??

Have we learned that the quirky lil white boy(s) can do wrong??

hm?? have we???

watcher backtracking and making their content free again

If I had a nickel for every time three Youtube guys sat on a couch after a scandal, I'd have two nickels.

so are watcher fans going to apologize for the unreal amounts of racism they projected toward steven or are we going to pretend that was totally normal behavior?

Plenty of y'all fans in the Watcher fandom really gonna just gloss over the fact that you were vile to these people just a few days ago.

if you really think they made this decision because of their fans and the (extremely valid) criticism and not because they realized they'd lose a lot of money you need to take a step back and think about the relationship you have towards content creators and celebrities* in general. don't let them fool you. it's always about money and it's about money ONLY. they do not care what you think as long as you get the numbers in their bank accounts up. do not ever forget that.

me after listening to the most emotionally devastating song I have ever heard because an even more upsetting one is about to start

If I had a nickel for every time someone made the exact same "Oh to be a fly on the office walls" joke about the Watcher situation, I'd have probably like at least 120 nickels. Which. Is a lot. That's a whole 6 dollars

The people trying to say Shane was forced into this and would never do this are so psrasocial and also just weird. Shut up. You don't know how he's going to feel about every decision. I highly doubt he was forced into this, he is part of the decision making process.
