We need to talk about the Watcher "fans".

These are the top comments on Shane’s IG post. Just look at the number of likes.

“Steven Lim is a greedy, manipulative evil CEO that twists his white co-founder's hands and forces the said co-founder into his will!!!” – this narrative is being prevalent in this fandom since April 19. People harassed him all across social media on every platform. People wrote nasty comments not only to his social media accounts but also to his wife and friends.

People made a Change.org hilariously dumb petitions to have him leave the CEO post.

People gleefully demonize and tear down his reputation. Twist his words out of context in to something vile. Weaponize the years old inside jokes his friends made on camera.

“This is not racism!!!” they say. “These are just the facts!!!”

No they aren’t. And here’s why:

because this

is the same as this:

Covert racism in language, or coded racism, is the deployment of common stereotypes or tropes to elucidate a racially charged idea. Rather than expressly perpetuating racist tropes, covert linguistic racism is seen as rational or "common sense", and many are not aware of its impact.

Racial stereotypes. Racial or cultural stereotyping refers to generalizing a group based on a simplified set of norms, behaviors, or characteristics.

The Yellow Peril (also the Yellow Terror, the Yellow Menace and the Yellow Specter) is a racist color metaphor that depicts the peoples of East and Southeast Asia[a] as an existential danger to the Western world.

Fu Manchu is a fictional character created by Arthur Ward, a music hall writer and journalist in London in the early 1900s. Writing under the pseudonym Sax Rohmer, Ward had absolutely no knowledge of Chinese culture or Chinese people – but his invention of a Chinese supervillain struck a chord in Victorian Britain and became a smash hit.

Fu Manchu was the original fictional Asian villain, a trope which became embedded in popular culture and Western psyche spawning spin-offs, spoofs, pop songs, video games and even consumer goods. But how damaging is Fu Manchu and how much can he tell us about modern Asian racism?

Ward wrote Fu Manchu as the personification of the so-called Yellow Peril threat: exotic, alien and inhuman, a mastermind boasting degrees from top universities. Using sinister powers to control minds, he aimed to undermine Western civilisation.

"This led to the idea that the Chinese were deceiving – they weren't being honest, they weren't revealing who they really are as people. This spawned into stories of Chinese as cheats and liars and deceitful – never giving you the truth, always fabricating."

Seven Lim being labeled as “greedy” “evil” and “manipulative” (of his white co-founder) is rooted in Anti-Asian racism. Whether people admit it or not.

Racism is not always derogatory slurs or white hoods. Racism is also casual micro-aggressions and putting people of color in the metaphorical boxes of harmful stereotypes. Racism is twisting the narrative and shaping it into a vile stereotype straight from the 19th century.

Also, let's not forget that people are happy to jump on Ryan in the similar way for the same reasons.

I’m just imagining Ryan, Shane and Steven in a three way call (like in Mean Girls) trying to do serious damage control after seeing the uproar.

(I’m glad they decided to keep the free content but damn that was an experience.)

Guys guys hear me out!

I have a theory that one of the major factors of their decision is how their sponsorships are compromising their content (which they emphasized twice now).

An example: In their renewed Winchester video, they have sponsorship from a game, and maybe even from the Winchester house tourism business itself.

There are newer information about Sarah Winchester and the house; about how it's not commissioned for ghosts but just Sarah helping to keep townspeople life afloat by hiring them to continuously build, and that the stairs leading to nowhere were previously rooms that were destroyed during earthquakes and had to be removed and sealed.

Knowing Ryan and Shane, they would put into the spotlight these information and debunk the haunted theme; an act they occasionally do. However, because they are heavily sponsored, there maybe guidelines on limiting what they can talk about. If they do debunk, the sponsor worries interest will be lessened because instead of luring people into visiting the mansion to hunt ghosts, it will just be a plain historical house, hence, decreased revenue for them.

Maybe their team wanted to deviate from depending on sponsorships that affect their content, and they'd rather depend on their patrons and be true to their videos, hence the decision.

The Toymaker with his little puppet show: Amy? Dead! Clara? Dead! Bill? Dead!

The Toymaker, under his breath: They're all happy and alive, we'll skip them, uhhhhh

Витю из Рожденной луной я вижу так, на достоверность и сходство с оригиналом не претендую, но моё видение такого 🌚 На мысль об этом фотосете навела @vikomdynasty ✨ Процесс был интересным, мне понравилось. Даже пару приколов старший и младший из троицы выдали ��
