[Offtopic]I tried to watch SocialRepose's response to PDP and ended up rage-quitting and unsubscribing due to him saying "well,

If anyone else watched the video, was I too hasty? It sounded like a defence of Felix's use of the n-word but maybe he opposed it later? Though there were a load of white people in the comments saying "yeah, it's only a word, people are so sensitive wow" and I was pretty disgusted, so so far I feel just in my unsubscribing.

[Offtopic]I just watched it and he barely addresses the issue of racism at all - the whole video is about how this is going to affect him personally and how he will lose money talk about missing the point.
He talks a tiny bit about how he thinks PDP is wrong but then seems to excuse him by saying 'well we all accidentally say things we regret' [/Offtopic]

I think we can all agree that people hold different opinions on here (or anything really) because we have different reasons/motives why we want to discuss various topics in the first place.

My personal interest in their interior layout: like I've mentioned, I'm just a nerd when it comes to architecture and creating floors plans via sims. i have sincere curiosity when it comes to it even with tv shows and movies I watch. I create floor plans in my head too when I read books. I'm just a sucker for HGTV and shows like fixer upper and property brothers lol. And sure, others may have different reasons for why they want to figure out their floor plan too and that's fine as long as (like someone mentioned before) we aren't envasive of their privacy like leaking actual addresses, location, neighborhood, anything that can harm these two, etc.. I think wanting to know what's inside their home is harmless and again (someone else has mentioned), we are discussing from physical images what dan and phil have shown us. They're feeding us a 1,000 piece puzzle and most of us here like solving puzzles lol. we may never solve this but I'll for sure love them regardless

Whatever the topic it may be, whats currently being discussed or what will be discussed in the near future, I think it's ok to (harmlessly) bant and share our opinions and our reasons for doing so!

Social Repose is garbage anyway regardless of whether or not he defends felix. he collabs frequently with yt's cancer that is onision and a couple months back he did a whole video "justifying" using a headdress despite people calling him out for cultural appropriation. so it wouldn't be a surprise if he thinks throwing around the n word isn't a big deal. i'm sure he's done more and i'm just not aware of it. i'm glad you unsubscribed tbh and no i don't think you were being hasty at all, i would've done the same thing.

pewdiepie update: he just made an "apology" video. https://youtu.be/cLdxuaxaQwc

what do you guys think about it?

i think it's the biggest pile of bullshit i've ever seen. it's just a minute and a half of him looking somber and saying "he'll be a better person" - like bruh, your entire career is built on rape jokes and putting boobs on the thumbnail i doubt after all these years and all the millions you've made you're suddenly going to transform into a saint. I love how he didn't once address the racist aspect of the whole thing, how that word has such a dark and oppressive history behind it and how it is justified that people called him out for it. he "apologized" as if it was just another swear word and not something that is inherently racist. I'm sure he sincerely regrets what he's done but not because he understands why what he did was wrong but rather that he doesn't want to deal with all the negative backlash he's about to get.
the comments were awful as well, couldn't read more than three of them. just white person after white person commenting about either "how he is a good person and needs to be forgiven" or "how it's just a word". I'm really looking forward to all the mental gymnastics other youtubers have to do to justify this one - last time they had the media to blame it all on, this time it's all him, no one forced the word out of him.

edit: can anyone help me out with why the video i linked won't show up as a thumbnail?

re : house plan

I personally have chosen not to participate in this discussion because it makes me uncomfortable but I will put something out there. Why is everyone so obsessed with the idea of multiple apartments etc, like think outside the box but honestly occam's razor and all that so personally I think they just have one.

Yeah, I haven't been subscribed for long, only since his response to Dan's emo video, and I haven't watched every video since so I was unaware of the cultural appropriation comments. Anyway, yeah, consider myself unsubscribed. OT but doesn't he condemn Onision? Whatever, he uses him for views and doesn't seem much better than him.

Oooh we should we getting a gaming video today right?

I am guessing it should be DD if they want to keep the series going. Tbh though, since they read it so rushed, it's not that much fun to watch for me, so I am not that excited about it.
I feel similar about the golf video, that laggy mess that they chopped together to be more entertaining wasn't the sweet and relaxed entertainment I was hoping for :/ The golf hype is dead for me (and I guess for other people too - it hasnt gotten that many views yet?)

Who knows, maybe they'll blow us out of the water and play the Life is Strange prequel.

Yeah, Dream Daddy hasn't been that fun for me to watch either. I hate how they rush through it and this is just a small pet peeve but as someone else said I'd have preferred if Dan played Dilddy and Phil did the voices for all the other dads. Dan's dad voices aren't very distinguishable. (Also I wanted to hear Phil's flirting voice, hehe.) I've only watched the most recent DD once.
I also agree the last golfing video wasn't as relaxing but I still like it as a series and will hopefully enjoy the next one!

I think we'll be getting something new today, or so Dan alluded in his liveshow if I remember correctly... maybe he was referring to the livestream. Either way I hope it's good

I agree! Which makes me sad as I've enjoyed all the other playthroughs of that game that I've watched (and also I love the Game Grumps). I think you're right that they just completely rush it and I confuse all the voices! Also, they don't seem that into it. I wouldn't mind if they stopped playing it tbh!

I'm in the we're-getting-something-new camp for the moment

I'm still enjoying Dream Daddy, but I'm also unspoiled for the game (mostly) and I think that makes me way less critical than someone who is comparing their playthrough to other playthroughs.

Today is apparently the third anniversary of the first DAPG video. Bets on if they actually remembered that and coordinated some kind of intro that acknowledges it, or whether they totally forgot?

I also haven't seen a Let's Play and only read minor spoilers. Maybe I should just give up and watch Mark instead of waiting 1.5 years on Deppy?

Also, you need to remember they actually managed to coordinate Dan to wear the weed sweater in a video that was published on 4/20. Sometimes they surprise us

same, I have not seen a single other playthrough (except for 5 minutes of Markiplier and then I went 'meh' and shut the tab) so to me it's still very enjoyable because I'm unspoiled for the game. (Mostly.)

My bet is on 'they totally forgot'.

I caved and watched Mark's playthrough about a week or so before they started, and I don't watch many of Mark's videos but I personally really enjoyed it! His dadsona voice was really funny and it didn't feel rushed to me (I even ended up watching a 5-hours-or-so livestream where he played through every single date except Joseph, I think he said at the end that he forgot).

I'm also mostly unspoiled for DD and still enjoying it. Also I disagree that they're not into it. I mean, it's definitely not one of their favorite games, but I think they're interested in the way the story is going to unfold. I think the only problem is that all that reading tires them out (phil especially), even more so because they rush it. And I still stand by the fact that they should've just played it all in one go and upload an episode every day/two days, so people wouldn't lose interest, OR they could've played it in a longer livestream, but that's just unrealistic for them, isn't it? *sighs*

I would like to see them continue DD, because I had a lot of fun playing it myself. I feel like the game gets more fun once you start dating around lol, so I hope D&P -and- D&P's audience aren't spooked off from it yet. It's very reading heavy, and I think it would benefit them to cut it up into shorter chunks so it's not as much as a drag for them to film/edit it, and not as much as a drag for the audience to watch it... idk.

idk - it's strange to me that discussions of their apartment would be more invasive than discussions of the nature/ intimacies of their relationship... or their mental health. i would much rather people speculate about my home than my personal flaws/ relationships.

as Katka said, it isn't done out of the spirit of stalking. from my understanding, there is absolutely zero intent of locating their apartment, but for the purpose of understanding them in "space".

Just wanted to say I agree with this! I think speculation about houseplans is fine as long as we're using info deppy themselves have shown us.
And it does seem strange people are willing to discuss in-depth someone's mental health and personal relationships, but not the aspects of their home that they are literally showing us?

Agree with both of the above posts but I can see why people are uncomfortable with discussing their flat. i feel that as long as we are only analysing things that they have shown us (be it direct or in the background) then I don't see harm in that. Of course we wouldn't allow people to post information on their location or anything that could easily identify their location as we don't want to encourage stalking at all.
I remember when they moved, I found it so weird not being able to imagine them doing a liveshow from a place I felt like I knew. It feels different now because we've seen areas of the flat, but discussing one or two flats doesn't mean I am interested in knowing where abouts they live - I'm just nosey and would love to know how the place is laid out seeing as they keep saying it's complicated. I definitely don't mean any harm by it.

The good thing about forums is that the subject literally changes quite quickly and more than one subject can be discussed. The MH discussion and discussions about their relationship make me uncomfortable so I check to make sure no rules are broken but I don't participate.

Edit: can't believe the gaming channel is 3 years old - I've wasted so much time on these two haha!

People were right it is Dream Daddy.

30 seconds in and Dan says 'ready to get some D' and Phil says his collar is loose for some dating. I love this series.

just starting but the first thing that sticks out to me is that their last save file was from august 4th...the day after they uploaded the FIRST dream daddy installmen. and then it wasn't uploaded until the 18th. they don't usually film that far in advance....do they? i can't remember if there was something going on recently that would mean they'd have to prefilm that far in advance but it is curious to me.

Five minutes in and I don't think I can wait another 30 minutes to say holy crap, Phil looks hot. That shirt suits him so well, but even so

I enjoyed that Good bants.

I loved it, but I think I am biased because they picked my favorite Dad~ The bants were so relaxed and fun. Good video!

And I'm really glad they didn't call any attention to the binders comment, that or it flew over their heads, but still!

this was filmed pre-dan's self-trim of the sides of his hair.

that's the original and thoughtful commentary i add to the discourse, i guess lolz
