This is my thought on the Daniel situation. His posts and views are vile. Is a 16/17 year old old enough to know better? Absolutely. Does that mean a 16/17 will know better? Of course not. If age was the only factor in the views people held, we wouldn’t have a lot of the problems we do have. Just because anecdotally we all know some kids that age who don’t hold these beliefs and are switched on to social issues, doesn’t change the mentality of teens like Daniel. All you have to do is have the misfortune to be sat on a bus with a group of teenage lads to hear some horrendous things. It’s that group mentality. Daniel most likely posts that kind of stuff because it’s what’s considered ‘cool’ and funny’ in his friend group and because it’s the kind of thing that gets likes. It doesn’t excuse it but let’s not pretend 16 year old lads as a whole aren’t like that. Hopefully most will grow out of it, I know most of the lads I went to school with aren’t walking around now 10 years later saying the kinds of things they did back then. But then fair enough some still are, and if Daniel is just a nasty, hateful person who deep down believes the things he posts then that is another matter entirely. And I do believe that could be the case, I’m not in any way excusing him, my point is just that unfortunately I think Daniel is the rule and not the exception when it comes to this kind of stuff and lads his age.
I don’t think his views have anything to do with Lucille and I do wish she had have just come out with a post saying ‘these are not my views and I don’t support them but I can’t change the attitude of anyone wont talk about him on my channel anymore’ or something like that. But it’s really pissed me off that she has tried to play the victim here and cried ‘hate’.
Throwing around world like bullying and hate just cheapen they meaning for those who actually receive it. And as has been said here, Lucille doesn’t speak much about her views or things going on in the news so naturally people are going to wonder.
Telling people who don’t correctly assume her position on everything to not watch her videos is the youtuber equivalent of a child saying ‘You guys are mean, I’m taking the ball and going home’
Can almost guarantee there will be a mention in a video about the ‘haters’ twisted of course. And how ‘people who watch my vlogs should know I’m not like that’. Actually no, you have to actually state your views and opinions for people to know them.
Don’t get me wrong I don’t think she shares the views of Daniel, I do think she is a good person but I don’t think she knows her arse from her elbow when it comes to actually understanding any of these issues.
TL;DR I’m pissed she’s trying to play the victim.
