How many times has the internet’s least favorite cockroach Shane Dawson crawled back from the nuclear war in his Twitter mentions to relative Youtube notoriety? I was in seventh grade in 2008, when I first encountered this un-killable internet gremlin, and he’s been cancelled at least once a year since. So at least that many times! Perhaps this next go-around will stick?
YouTube moderators and executives have perhaps come to some important realizations in recent weeks, but I’m struggling to find the grace within myself to trust it. Not unlike the recent crop of white actors suddenly swearing off voicing roles for characters of color when they have long collected royalty checks—or NBC’s decision to scrub’s numerous blackface episodes from the internet—YouTube’s decision feels more like legacy management than significant progress.
Regardless, it will be nice to know that Shane Dawson can’t continue to harvest the rewards of YouTube notoriety, especially when his only real contributions to the internet—besides an underground nuclear waste facility’s worth of blackface and pedophilia jokes—is simping in the back of Jeffree Star’s Bentley. Good luck, bitch, and good fucking riddance.
