Tbh that was my first thought when I saw that we are the unicorns bs as well...kindofatrashcan wrote: Fri Oct 13, 2017 10:55 pm Hey peeps, i have a question...
Do you think that from now on the phandom is going to be a little extra regarding Dan's mental health? I mean, i can fully picture a ls where the chat is constantly asking if he had a depressive episode that week or something like that and I feel bad because he explicitly said that he don't want to be indentified by it and i think MAYBE is what the phandom is going to do?
I don't know maybe i'm being pessimistic or something.
(boy english verbs are weird and i don't know how to use punctuation marks)
I think it's going to be a blessing and a curse type of situation, because the flip side of it is now that if Dan were to say "Hey, no video this week. I know I said so, but it's a rough week." people will not hound him and (dear god, I hope) we also won't see that endless cycle of 'he's lazy, he takes his fans for granted, they're coasting on the fanbase, he's just not hard working like [insert youtuber who uploads twice a day].'tigertatze wrote: Fri Oct 13, 2017 11:03 pmTbh that was my first thought when I saw that we are the unicorns bs as well...kindofatrashcan wrote: Fri Oct 13, 2017 10:55 pm Hey peeps, i have a question...

Im a little worried as well. I saw a post telling everyone to be nice to Dan in the chat tomorrow and I was internally like “No!! Call him a rat!” because I don’t think Dan would want to be babied or treated differently because of it. I mean stuff like people pointing out his weight gain a few years ago and stuff like that was too far but I don’t think the teasing should stop because Dan said may times that he loves that he has this type of relationship with his audience.tigertatze wrote: Fri Oct 13, 2017 11:03 pmTbh that was my first thought when I saw that we are the unicorns bs as well...kindofatrashcan wrote: Fri Oct 13, 2017 10:55 pm Hey peeps, i have a question...

Yeah, that's a definite possibility. Hopefully people won't feel too much of a need to baby him, as secretagentphan said, he's stated that he likes his dynamic with his audience.kindofatrashcan wrote: Fri Oct 13, 2017 10:55 pm Hey peeps, i have a question...

Basically just this, I hate the thought of people changing the way they interact with Dan, even if it's with good intent. The relationship between Dan and his fans wouldn't be benefitted by constantly trying to treat him "gently", like he can't handle things.alittledizzy wrote: Fri Oct 13, 2017 11:13 pmI think it's going to be a blessing and a curse type of situation, because the flip side of it is now that if Dan were to say "Hey, no video this week.

But I'm also on team 'please don't coddle him.'
They might play overcooked since the poll last time was 50/50? I wouldn't complain if they did, although of course it would be nice for them to play something new
I hope it's not Mario Kart - Overcooked would be great or something new
Whatever they play, I hope it's something they can play together, as opposed to doing individual rounds on Mario Kart. Although I do love their MK videos/livestreams, I feel like since one of them is focused on the game, the bants are a bit less entertaining. Gimme co-op games and deppy bickering but eventually coming together to beat the game any day of the week (aka crash bandicoot pt.2. please, my crops are dying).
I second this. their crash bandicoot letsplay is one of my absolute favourite gaming vids. they should totally play it againrealeyesrealize wrote: Sat Oct 14, 2017 3:45 pm Whatever they play, I hope it's something they can play together, as opposed to doing individual rounds on Mario Kart.

also, this might be selfish of me but I wish they would focus on the chat less because I just want their unfiltered bickering, the ultimate wish is for them to forget they have an audience for a moment.... but yeah lol as if, they're too professional 
I agree, I don't think it sounds horrible at all. I'm most interested in their interactions and banter. The chat moves so damn fast and there's no way in hell that I would personally spend money on a premium message, so I don't really care too much about their interacting with the chat. Just personal preference really.goingbackto505 wrote: Sat Oct 14, 2017 4:33 pm I second this. their crash bandicoot letsplay is one of my absolute favourite gaming vids. they should totally play it again
same here, plus it might just be my personal pet peeve or whatever, but I get second-hand embarrassment when they give shout outs to groupchats with sexual manes lmao like the "phil's monster coke" thing, it kinda bothers me because Dan and Phil are adults and those fans are most likely a bunch of kids and it's weird how they sexualize DnP like that, idk :/Ewok wrote: Sat Oct 14, 2017 5:33 pm I agree, I don't think it sounds horrible at all.

I would love for more unfiltered gameplay. I just wanna watch them hanging out honestly
My biggest wish is they'd stream for longer than 30-45 minutes. That's the dream.
