friendly reminder it’s October so legally you have to watch Over The Garden Wall once a day sorry I don’t make the rules
In case you were unaware of what white privilege looks like, this is what the security looked like for Black Lives Matter protests this past summer.
so just to be clear. shane dawson has:
mocked trayvon martin’s death
shared a GRAPHIC fantasy about mutilating and killing a black woman who called him out on racism and misogynoir
defending pedophilia on his podcast
gave multiple racist influencers platforms
one of which he made jokes about their racist scandals the whole time
the other he sympathized with when he whined about getting called a cracker in response to calling 2 of his latino employees b**ners
made a parody of nicki minaj in black face, in which he was mostly making fun of her for having plastic surgery and having a fat ass, literally a modern day minstrel show
made a song where 2 characters were at a club and the joke was that they saw a trans woman and thought she was hot, saying the t slur in said song (only source i could find)
made a video where he jacked off to a poster of willow smith (who was ELEVEN. 11 at the time)
profited off of a character who’s literally based on black stereotypes for years
done blackface in other instances i don’t even know the context of
shouted the n word
there’s a bit in another of his old videos where he literally masquerades as an immigrant who doesn’t know much english- this hasn’t been called out yet, but i remember seeing it in 6th grade (in the same video he asks a character that’s supposed to be his mom- but just him in a wig, as usual, if white people or latin people are better, and the mom character refers to as a trick question)
refers to himself as poor in his videos to this day, even though we all know he damn well isn’t.
these are 13 instances that i alone know of. if this man doesn’t face repercussions, he will continue getting away with this shit. nothing will fucking change, this will happen every 6 months.
Reminder that this likely wouldn’t have been the verdict without that video.
Reminder that this likely wouldn’t have been the verdict without people voting for the right people.
Reminder that this likely wouldn’t have been the verdict without the protests or BLM
Remember your power
Protesting is a FELONY in Tennessee now…Facism at it’s finest (x)
