[yt/drama] all the people claiming that jenna was bullied off youtube makes me wonder if they actually watched her video or are just jumping on the bandwagon
ruthgaroux โ™ก
right

i'm just.........
๐—๐—ˆ๐—ˆ ๐—‚๐—†๐—‰ ๐—๐—ˆ ๐—Œ๐—‚๐—†๐—‰
one of my fb friends just went on a huge spiel about and started going off on how people are such snowflakes and blah blah blah and forgiveness
๐—๐—ˆ๐—ˆ ๐—‚๐—†๐—‰ ๐—๐—ˆ ๐—Œ๐—‚๐—†๐—‰
no, she wasn't cancelled. she made some mistakes and came clean about them, choosing to leave the platform of her own decision is what i got from it
ruthgaroux โ™ก
jenna: please don't put me on a pedestal
everyone: proceeds to put her on a pedestal
๐—๐—ˆ๐—ˆ ๐—‚๐—†๐—‰ ๐—๐—ˆ ๐—Œ๐—‚๐—†๐—‰
literally she says she's uncomfortable about the title of "unproblematic queen" but half the comments i see on twitter are calling her that
ruthgaroux โ™ก
y e p
๐—๐—ˆ๐—ˆ ๐—‚๐—†๐—‰ ๐—๐—ˆ ๐—Œ๐—‚๐—†๐—‰
also she was criticised for said actions but like, that's not hate? people are allowed to be critical
๐—๐—ˆ๐—ˆ ๐—‚๐—†๐—‰ ๐—๐—ˆ ๐—Œ๐—‚๐—†๐—‰
stan culture has really made it so we cant even do that without being called a hater huh
ruthgaroux โ™ก
i think it's a lot of younger ppl who don't remember.... 2011/2012 and can't reconcile shit from back then with the person they "know" now
ruthgaroux โ™ก
parasocial relationships etc
ruthgaroux โ™ก
idk i just made that up
ruthgaroux โ™ก
but yeah ppl acting like she was bullied off youtube when it was her decision like takes agency away from her like....
ruthgaroux โ™ก
right
๐ญ๐ฌ๐ฏ๐ข๐ž๐ญ
the only real snowflakes are the people who are bemoaning cancel culture like.their reaction. was more THAN THE ACTUAL HATE JENNA GOT
ruthgaroux โ™ก
i mean personally i hate cancel culture but this was.... not that
๐ญ๐ฌ๐ฏ๐ข๐ž๐ญ
yeah it's misdirected anger
๐—๐—ˆ๐—ˆ ๐—‚๐—†๐—‰ ๐—๐—ˆ ๐—Œ๐—‚๐—†๐—‰
i hate it too but there is a difference between holding someone accountable and outright cancelling them which i think a lot of people dont see
ruthgaroux โ™ก
exactly
๐—๐—ˆ๐—ˆ ๐—‚๐—†๐—‰ ๐—๐—ˆ ๐—Œ๐—‚๐—†๐—‰
(see these twitter cancel parties that happen every other day)
ruthgaroux โ™ก
there's a thing called..... nuance
๐—๐—ˆ๐—ˆ ๐—‚๐—†๐—‰ ๐—๐—ˆ ๐—Œ๐—‚๐—†๐—‰
but people always want to jump to one extreme or the other lmao nuance we dont know her
๐ญ๐ฌ๐ฏ๐ข๐ž๐ญ
she's probably not coming back and i'm gonna guess it'll be the fan reaction, not the 'cancelling' they were trying to protect her from.
๐—๐—ˆ๐—ˆ ๐—‚๐—†๐—‰ ๐—๐—ˆ ๐—Œ๐—‚๐—†๐—‰
yeah, i wouldn't want to if i saw that mess
๐—๐—ˆ๐—ˆ ๐—‚๐—†๐—‰ ๐—๐—ˆ ๐—Œ๐—‚๐—†๐—‰
anyways she's a big girl who owned up to her shit and i'm proud of her ... i may not have watched her all that often but she seemed like a fun creator. i wish her luck in whatever she en devours in next.
๐ญ๐ฌ๐ฏ๐ข๐ž๐ญ
she's got connections. or she can probably just chill on her savings.
๐—๐—ˆ๐—ˆ ๐—‚๐—†๐—‰ ๐—๐—ˆ ๐—Œ๐—‚๐—†๐—‰
yea that she was a prominent name and does have some famous friends, i think she'll be fine
brave vesperia
also damn she's been doing this for ten years and she's seemed not very into it for a while now
ruthgaroux โ™ก
i've watched her all this time and i love her dearly lmao. i'm pretty sure she's not pressed for money
brave vesperia
let her leave lmfao
ruthgaroux โ™ก
yeah i think she's been burnt out
๐ญ๐ฌ๐ฏ๐ข๐ž๐ญ
i think she wanted out of the spotlight and then the dramageddon stuff started happening again and people were trying to pull her into it, and that was enough for her.
ruthgaroux โ™ก
she also does side stuff like twitch and a podcast and etc which i don't think she's leaving but her s/o says are in the air
ruthgaroux โ™ก
yeah
๐—๐—ˆ๐—ˆ ๐—‚๐—†๐—‰ ๐—๐—ˆ ๐—Œ๐—‚๐—†๐—‰
she didnt make as many videos as she used to these days
ruthgaroux โ™ก
i mean she's never stopped making 1 vid per week for like years
ruthgaroux โ™ก
except for around christmas and this past year or year before she actually took a vacation????? for the first time????
๐—๐—ˆ๐—ˆ ๐—‚๐—†๐—‰ ๐—๐—ˆ ๐—Œ๐—‚๐—†๐—‰
maybe i just didnt see her content pop up in my subscriptions as much
๐—๐—ˆ๐—ˆ ๐—‚๐—†๐—‰ ๐—๐—ˆ ๐—Œ๐—‚๐—†๐—‰
or youtube unfollowed her for me as it does
ruthgaroux โ™ก
yeah her output has never changed but i think you can tell in her vids she's like... tired
๐—๐—ˆ๐—ˆ ๐—‚๐—†๐—‰ ๐—๐—ˆ ๐—Œ๐—‚๐—†๐—‰
honestly kudos to the creators that create more than one video a week for years
ruthgaroux โ™ก
she adopted a rescue dog abt a year ago and i think that was largely stressful plus recent events
๐—๐—ˆ๐—ˆ ๐—‚๐—†๐—‰ ๐—๐—ˆ ๐—Œ๐—‚๐—†๐—‰
honestly let her live her life she doesnt have to be tied to youtube forever if she has other things going on
ruthgaroux โ™ก
right... it sounds like she's taking a break from everything for now but she does have other outlets besides the jenna marbles channel when/if she feels like going back to them
proั‚oะฒadger
Tbh I think more than โ€œbullying off the platform,โ€ jenna has some serious mental health concerns that she hopefully can address now
proั‚oะฒadger
Because she takes a lot of things waaaay too personally. Owning up is good but โ€œI donโ€™t want to make content that could possibly offend someoneโ€ is some next level paranoia when she just films her dogs
proั‚oะฒadger
I think a break or just ending it is good for her with that and how just disinterested she seemed in the past year anyway
antler queen
there's more behind the scenes than is evident here
๐—๐—ˆ๐—ˆ ๐—‚๐—†๐—‰ ๐—๐—ˆ ๐—Œ๐—‚๐—†๐—‰
remember she made an hour long apology for buying the wrong fish tank that one time so like, that kinda checks
proั‚oะฒadger
I never saw any "hate" or anything toward her though, which is the part that makes me ???? like, where did this come from
proั‚oะฒadger
but because she mentioned people asking how could you follow xyz, I think it's all part of the shane dawson backlash now
๐—๐—ˆ๐—ˆ ๐—‚๐—†๐—‰ ๐—๐—ˆ ๐—Œ๐—‚๐—†๐—‰
i kinda think its her covering her tracks on it
๐—๐—ˆ๐—ˆ ๐—‚๐—†๐—‰ ๐—๐—ˆ ๐—Œ๐—‚๐—†๐—‰
if she's getting hate it's not the cause of her leaving, at least that's what i'm seeing, but like people taking this and running too far
๐—๐—ˆ๐—ˆ ๐—‚๐—†๐—‰ ๐—๐—ˆ ๐—Œ๐—‚๐—†๐—‰
opposite of the people who are taking it too far in the "unproblematic queeeeeen" area and yelling about her getting cancelled
๐ญ๐ฌ๐ฏ๐ข๐ž๐ญ
nah. on twitter people were coming for her because of her friendship with shane and jeffree, and they were bringing up that she also contributed to how racist and toxic early youtube was by being deliberately offensive. i think it was enough to warrant a video, not quitting the platform, and now he stans are ignoring her wishes.
proั‚oะฒadger
honestly when I saw the video title the first time, I was worried it was about something bad happening to her dogs. so if she feels that quitting the platform is what she needed to do, I hope it helps her get the mental help she pretty obviously needs right now
proั‚oะฒadger
though not having to get up and do things on a schedule could just make things worse but ehh. hopefully julian can be there for her
brave vesperia
i am still baffled that all these big youtubers are buddy buddy with jeffree
brave vesperia
and shane sucks
ruthgaroux โ™ก
I dont think Jenna is actually friends w jeffree, she's friends w Shane and got pr from j* either bc of Shane or bc jeffree just enjoys sending pr to everyone under the sun
brave vesperia
ahh okay
ruthgaroux โ™ก
She posted an insta story being surprised /thankful about receiving pr and people lost their shit
brave vesperia
i will be honest and say i wish influencers would be more careful about the airtime they give to certain brands
proั‚oะฒadger
I know she got the ugly conspiracy pr because of shane, I'd bet that she just was never removed from the list because jeffree knows she's got big youtube reach
brave vesperia
i don't think she deserves to be cancelled for that or whatever but
ruthgaroux โ™ก
She deleted the story like right after she posted it bc of ppls reactions but now everyone is like I can't believe Jenna is best friends w Jefferson starship
proั‚oะฒadger
I do know some people tried to also start that same argument with simply nailogical because she got pr or something from him like 3 years ago, too
ruthgaroux โ™ก
YEP
ruthgaroux โ™ก
And cristine had to fucking make a video like "I've never met jeffree star in my life????"
๐ญ๐ฌ๐ฏ๐ข๐ž๐ญ
jada and jaden smith have made statements about shane now. iii think he's done.
๐ญ๐ฌ๐ฏ๐ข๐ž๐ญ
but yeah i think that people overestimate how much youtubers like hang out and know each other behind the scenes?
๐—๐—ˆ๐—ˆ ๐—‚๐—†๐—‰ ๐—๐—ˆ ๐—Œ๐—‚๐—†๐—‰
