who are now suffering the repercussions of the world around them changing uh was it tasteless jokes all of them were across the board but is it do i see a little bit of a hypocritical moment going on when we all knew that this was going on for so many years and we're pinpointing the white content creators or people who have a closer proximity to why i don't know it's true that at the time when shane made these more controversial videos they weren't really considered controversial many creators were doing similar things and viewers loved it few people were calling out this kind of behavior because many didn't see an issue with it and therefore creators are being rewarded for making these kinds of jokes with likes views and engagement this is not to say that it is the viewer's fault nor is it to say that we should excuse anybody for making problematic content simply because they didn't see a problem with it at the time or because they were encouraged to do it but as unfortunate as it is this was the ecosystem of youtube at the time even jenna marbles a creator who has held up as the golden standard of a youtuber somebody who's unproblematic was making similar videos at the time making offensive jokes and skits it's nicki minaj nikki magic you smash obviously when i think like some of those videos um were being made and some of like the more you know um i guess like some of the more stuff that like people are like criticizing and all that um it's kind of like at like at the time like you know about like NUMBER_TOKEN years ago um or whatever that was um it's just kind of like the internet was so different then and like of course it doesn't make like those kind of things like right to say or whatever but it's kind of like you know at the time when you're seeing so many other people making similar kind of content and at the time there's a lot of people even in like your own audience that are saying like they love the content and they think it's funny and they don't seem to seem a problem with it then um i just kind of think it's like important to remember that um for that person like they probably also just don't really see um anything like that that they're doing because at the time that's just kind of how the world was and you know obviously like like now i guess like the world is um you know i guess kind of like realizing certain certain things and how certain things could feel like offensive to a lot of people but um i think like with time when like so many people like weren't really realizing that stuff and so many people were making those kind of jokes like a lot of people kind of did just like view it as like funny even though like you know maybe it wasn't but um it's just kind of like you know at the time so many people are like almost encouraging that kind of content and aren't saying it shouldn't be a thing so that's another reason i definitely don't think that that kind of thing should be used against somebody forever so if so many creators were making similar content then why is shane the one who's receiving the most backlash there are many different perspectives on this question some would say that although many creators were making offensive jokes on youtube that shane's were at a different level they would say
