sponsoring today's video now let's talk about shane dawson over the years shane has experimented with a lot of different types of content and it only makes sense since he's been around for over NUMBER_TOKEN years an amount of time which most creators haven't managed to stick around for for the most part the only ones who have been able to are the ones who've been able to adapt their content and change what they do in order to stay relevant and keep their audience interested as it stands now shane is known as somebody who makes documentary style videos as well as videos about the paranormal and conspiracy theories before this though he made things like skits and challenge videos and even had a series that he wasn't actually in this was a sort of news series where other people would be the ones reporting but it was on shane's channel i wasn't very successful and it was a very weird period of time so let's just move on from that now at first glance most of these things seem pretty harmless but several years into shane's online career people started to notice some things that were off about his earliest videos mainly people noticed that a lot of his older videos and skits relied heavily on edgy humor edgy in this case meaning it relied a lot on homophobia sexism violence and being inappropriate towards children now clearly when people began picking up on this shane received a lot of backlash for his previous videos which resulted in him deleting them and making an apology some accepted this but many still weren't happy saying that either his apology was insincere or it wasn't good enough and every so often another wave of hate would hit shane in the end though most people would either forget or choose to forgive and shane would move on with making his videos about whatever it was he was making that day be it him creating a makeup line with jeffree star talking about chuck e cheese conspiracies or just eating weird food at home however more recently shane has been involved with so much controversy that it's been almost impossible for him to move past the backlash of his previous videos as shane was involved with dramageddon something that we will talk about more later he was put at the center of drama and as a result more and more people learned about his older videos and were appalled by them and then he was cancelled this begs the question why did his cancellation happen so many years after these videos were actually made maybe it has something to do with shane's ever-changing content there have been so many years of shame that people have found him at specific points of his career thinking those were the kind of videos he only ever made many didn't know about his previous problematic content until much later but eventually something odd would always come up about his content either past or present that would change their opinions on him shane dawson's an interesting one because i didn't watch his content when he first started out on youtube like i wasn't one of his fans then i i actually found him around the time he started doing like his conspiracy theory videos and stuff like that and i just thought they were like a really silly bit of fun and i had absolutely no idea about his past at all so i had no idea about any of the like
