i used to think alex only wore the same merch in every video to promote it but him getting that One Gucci Shirt has shown that he is, in fact, a gremlin who wears his favorite clothes until he dies
i’m gonna shut up now, i guess i’ve learned that to the cc a stan is a stan is a stan and our opinions don’t matter, even when alex asked for criticism
remember when anthony padilla wanted to make a video with dan and phil fans and when we expressed our concerns with that idea (being generalized and reduced to a villainized stereotype played up just for comedy) he actually listened to us and changed his mind? good moment
@fffffmg @ImAllexx i agree with that, honestly. i think that’s how alex wants to be seen: like he’s independent. but dan and phil branded themselves as a unit, Dan and Phil(tm). they own a company together and toured twice under the Dan and Phil brand. they wouldn’t have done so if it bothered them
@mangospeachs @ImAllexx this is the problem i had with alex’s video, though. none of this has happened in over six years. dan was talking in past tense about a young fandom that grew out of it quickly. i agree it was a huge issue but it’s not one that still exists, and any research would show that.
@ImAllexx additionally, demonizing a mostly queer fandom from outdated information is a kind of bad move. many people like them because they give them hope that they can find a relationship like that, and that’s not anywhere near fetishising them.
@ImAllexx dude,,, i love your videos but please research more thoroughly. most of your evidence is from 2012 and dan has said multiple times he appreciates fanfic/art
@ImAllexx basically how they’ve framed their opinions on fanfic is that it’s fine as long as no one shoves it in their face, which many don’t do out of the respect that a lot of their fandom has for them
