“People hate being called racist bud don’t hate racism” THE VOLUME INSIDE OF THIS BUS IS ASTRONOMICAL

“People hate being called racist but don’t hate hate racism.” Could not have said it better.👏🏾

I love how its always "cancel culture is toxic" and never "stan culture creates false idols and gives people immunity to being problematic"

It's so funny to me how Shane copied everything about Jenna's video except for the actual taking responsibility part...like, sis, you stole the answer key and still got a C-

the thing about miss jenna is that i did NOT see anybody bringing up her racist past, she did it on her own accord without hiding it or just acting like it didn’t exist. she didn’t apologize because she got caught up, and that just seems more genuine.

Jenna didn’t play the victim herself so her fans are doing it for her 😩

Tana mongeau literally made cancelled merch. She continuously is profiting off of being problematic. That’s why none of these people actually care anymore when people say they are canceled.

Jenna’s life is not ruined, she lives in a mansion and can afford to stop making content. She set an example of how we should take accountability and deplatform ourselves to elevate marginalized voices.

People acted so weird about Jenna, she was a grown women who made a choice. She didn’t ‘cancel’ herself nor did anyone ‘cancel’ her she took accountability and left because she made an adult decision. I hate that terminology so much it had nothing to do with cancel culture!

sidenote: this hair is a serve.

Jenna is still 500% better than Shane, but they decided to make her the fragile white woman so they can be mad at "cancel culture". I watched her apology but didn't even bother with Shane, cause he didn't even mention the shit he does now.

The fact that Jenna was trying to hold herself accountable and white people are mad at us is insane. I am so tired of black people and minorities being the joke and white people look at us like WE are wrong. 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄 TIRED. Also you hair is gorgeous!!!

No one is cancelling Jenna. She is just holding herself accountable, which is what a lot of these influencers lack. People need start taking responsibility and stop blaming everything on cancel culture.

You have to be so privileged and oblivious to claim Jenna's leaving youtube is the worst thing of 2020

I actually love Jenna Marbles but what she did was NOT an over-reaction. Her apology was taking accountability for a racist past, and then taking action. It was completely acceptable and not “cancel culture” “ruining” her career. she took responsibility!!!!!!! stop trying to reverse it!!!!

every1 wants to talk about how much cancel culture ruins bigots’ lives but not how BIGOTRY ruins ppls lives 😭

So if Jenna didn’t leave his “apology” would be nonexistent...

People act like a gun was put to her head and forced her to take a break. She went out of her way to take accountability in that video and take a break. People need to stop coddling grown people like they are babies.

So many comments on Jenna’s video said “you did nothing wrong” or “there’s nothing to apologize for” like what?? She’s literally saying hey I was horrible, here’s why, and her stans are telling her she’s wrong. What they’re really saying is “I did or still do the same things, so that would make me horrible too.” Also, most of these fans who are angry about stank dolphin and jester stockholm still having a career are only mad about it because Jenna is leaving. They would definitely be willing to ignore the situation as long as their fav stays.

"She hasn't been racist for YEARS" why was she racist to begin with???

they claim to be defending her integrity but then don’t even respect her enough to believe that she made the decision herself.

*Notice how since shane dawson is getting all this hate his supposed friend jeffree is no where to be seen*

Even if you love Jenna and you’re upset about her leaving, you need to listen to Amanda and other black women and what they have to say.

I'm truly whiter than sour cream and didn't have a phase of thinking "racist jokes are cool" like???? Why are so many people saying "it was a different time" ???? Like.... no. It wasn't ok then, isn't now. It's never been ok. There's no excuse for those things. None. Period

the fact that jenna herself said she didn’t like people calling her “an unproblematic queen” and no one forced her to do this, it was her decision to apologise and leave AND PEOPLE STILL IN THE COMMENTS WERE TALKING ABOUT CANCEL CULTURE DROVING HER OFF THE PLATFORM SMH no one was cancelling her she was just too embarrassed about her past and CHOSE to leave

Jenna, in her apology video: it makes me uncomfortable when people call me unproblematic because it’s not true All of the comments: ugh cancel culture took away my unproblematic queen away from me!

do NOT feel bad for those being held accountable for their actions. feel bad for the victims of their actions.

I hate when I read comments and they're like "Well I'm black and I didn't find this offensive". Like you don't speak for all of us go to bed!

My only problem with cancel culture is that it tends to work only when it comes to women and people of color. White men get to thrive no matter what.

The man that never showers was like “I gOt InSpIrEd By JeNnA mArBlEs” but never took any responsibility or accountability like she did🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️

As kids we watched comedians make offensive jokes, and went out thinking it was fine. As an influencer you are leaving an impression on the viewers. Now I am an adult, and I regret the jokes I made at my peers. I have to admit I had racist tendencies, and my humor was impacted by who I watched. Now we can learn what is not okay to say, and that is why cancel culture is valid.

Why can’t the mean black people leave the poor innocent racists alone 😢

“And aren’t the people they traumatized... children?” THIS. JESUS CHRIST THIS IS SO DAMN IMPORTANT

There were literally people who were saying "Jenna should've kept the racist videos up so people can see how she grew" like are you kidding me? What's not clicking?

I swear the phrase “cancel culture” is so annoying at this point. Overused and everyone thinks they’re so w👁ke for saying it.

After reading people’s opinions saying cancel culture is toxic and we should allow people room to grow, I supported that. However, when someone continues to be problematic again and again that is telling of a larger issue. When it comes to racism, subtle or passing remarks, it’s funny to see the general public (mainly white with few POC who turn a blind eye) actively pass off that behaviour as “okay”. It is not okay. I don’t believe we should ‘bully’ someone so far they could potentially end their life. What I think cancel culture should be is the individual consumer becoming more conscious of who or what they are giving attention and money to. Just actively avoid problematic people who have proven to be untrustworthy. That is why I refuse to watch Tana, Trisha, Shane, Jeffree, Manny, etc etc etc. Imagine how much more time and self-development you can make by just changing the people you follow and the voices you listen to.

people are all like "yall made us lose Jenna" nah no one canceled her except herself like 👀 her fans are literally belittling her ability to decide for herself

Jenna said herself in her video she was tired of her fans calling her “unproblematic queen”. That’s probably what lead her to make the video rather then (like you said) a #JennaIsOverParty.

I HATE how ppl responded to jenna video. As a fan of hers, she was not getting canceled. She decided to take down of bunch of old content and explained what she did wrong. No one had to call on the apologize she did it her self because she clearly felt bad. Only fucking reason shane said "sorry" was because he was called out on his shit. Also, I do think jenna is truly sorry, why would she make that video if she did not want to say sorry. Jenna could of ignored it and went on but she didn't because she has grown as a person. edit: I also think you should of watch the entire jenna video first. She also apologized for other things like Sl*t shamming and gender stereotypes so white people who were offended by that can still accept her apology for that stuff.

if cancel culture was real all the racist youtubers wouldn't still have a career and be millionaires lmao

Jenna CHOSE to leave so why who’s fault is that? Hers no one cancelled

Here's the kicker - Jenna called herself out because of those very comments about her being an unproblematic queen. She said it made her uncomfortable everytime she saw those comments because it wasn't true. THEY (her subs) literally helped her pack her bags to leave KZfaq and they don't even realize it.

Jenna literally cancelled HERSELF by saying “here are the things I’ve done wrong” but people want to still scream about how she’s never done anything wrong. Like didn’t they listen to her video? She listed things she did... and they’re still saying she did nothing... It just shows those people don’t think there’s anything wrong with racism and that speaks volumes.

The people who are complaining about cancel culture and saying Jenna was unproblematic obviously didn't watch the video in the first place because the whole point she was making was that she knew she had done bad things in the past and wanted to bring them up herself. Also she left of her own free will so idk why people are acting like she was bullied off youtube

In the beginning of Jenna’s video she said herself that when people call her an unproblematic KZfaqr makes her uncomfortable because she knows that she isn’t unproblematic and that is why she made her video without people actually canceling her. She saw people getting cancelled for their racist pasts and decided to call herself out instead of waiting to get cancelled. She decided to take accountability for her past actions and even said herself she knows her past was very racist. Cancel culture didn’t call Jenna out. Jenna called Jenna out!

“ your blaming black and Asian people at being upset with racism” you said it best. They hate when we try to make them be held accountability to their horrible actions. And the stans are just so mindless EDIT- and skai Jackson was really doing gods work.

I hate comments like: it was a different time back then, everyone told jokes like that! RED FLAG!

I will say this once: non blacks should not be accepting apologies for racism towards black people.

And they’re on twitter calling like “unproblematic queen of KZfaq”. Did we watch the same video?! Or did they skip the part where she said she doesn’t wanna be called unproblematic.....

shane dawson's apology wasn't genuine at all. He isn't a changed man because he was still selling his shanaynay merch. I called him out on his apology and my comment was deleted. He was deleting comments coming at him.

“people show you who they are by who they support” LORD.. the raw power of this observation is enough to level a city

“racism seems to become part of everyone’s coming of age story” that itself speaks VOLUMES.

white stans: BLM Us: but didn’t your fav say ni- white stans: CAnCeL cULtuRE IS sOoO tOXiC!1!1!!1

I f****** love this video! This is exactly how I feel. It's really interesting to hear people complain about Jenna being canceled when she closed her channel on her own terms. I don't think she needed to do that but when people complain about cancel culture I literally can only hear them saying that people shouldn't stand up against racism. Now granted, I think that there was a minority of people calling her out and I agree that she was already on her way out but either way I don't think that it's irrational for somebody to be upset about racism. What's so wild to me about all of this is that they're literally asking us to just look at racism and do it and get over it so they can have their fun and that's really f***** up. Most people if they saw a person on the street walking around wearing black face would assume that person probably is a piece of racist s***. They wouldn't sit for months and years figuring out whether or not their interpretation of that person was wrong they would dismiss them immediately and move on. Instead we've had to sit here for years justifying why certain racism is okay if the person has a parent we change. I personally think that Jenna has probably changed and I think that she's really the only person in the conversation who has, but that being said no one owes you forgiveness. And people disengaging from creators who have done racist content are not weak. I think that's what people are always trying to communicate. But if I don't sit there and listen to somebody say the n word I'm just a weakling who isn't strong enough to take it. It takes actually a lot more strength to look at something that you loved and to walk away from it than it does to sit with it and justify why you still engage with it even though it's problematic. That just doesn't really make a ton of sense. So yeah, I really appreciate you making this video. I'm going to make a similar one actually lol

Quite a few gamer KZfaqrs need to hear this.

Jenna literally said to stop calling her unproblematic and that what she did was racist and hurt people and that she feels terrible about what she did, but 95% of the comments were like “why could they bully her like this?? End cancel culture this is just the way the internet was 1 years ago!!” And it’s like bruh... it was still racist and hurt ppl 10 years ago?? respect jenna’s message and don’t accept the apology when it’s clearly not for you.

Cancel culture is only "toxic" when their fav gets exposed, but when it's someone they don't like, they're the ones doing the canceling.

"y'all are sad that Jenna is leaving youtube so you're blaming it on black and asian people'" the truth will set you free but first it will piss you off!!!! Whew!!!!!

I'm sad that Jenna is leaving, because I love her recent content, but she needed to make that video. She wasn't cancelled, she took responsibility for her actions like an adult and apologized for blatantly racist actions, AS SHE SHOULD HAVE. She needed to do what she did. I'm proud that she's grown from that and it's obvious that she has, but I think her taking a step back is necessary and sets a new precedent for other creators (*cough* jeffree and shane *cough*) to grow tf up and respond in a similar manner. My fellow yts need to keep their mouths SHUT on this issue because it's not our apology to accept or deny. Also shane's "apology". . . it wasn't it. . .

why doesn't this have 20 million views

cancel culture is not ruining lives, people are ruining their own

"She's done nothing wrong" If she said it herself than yes. She did.

Finally someone called out the "we were all problematic as kids" bs 🤮

Too many people are talking about how people shouldn’t be so offended and all that bullshit without even knowing or researching the history behind black face, using the n word and other racist behaviour. Like no, get on GOOGLE and SEARCH the history behind racism because until then you can’t say nothing about cancel culture or victimising

Honestly "stan culture" is worse than "cancel culture" at this point.

Shame Dawson saying he was inspired by jennas apology. Shows how fake his apology was

This is the smartest woman EVER I’m serious

“Cancel culture” does not exist. It’s called consequences, they either affect you or they don’t. Side note, the hair is SO CUTE sis. ❤️

“Everyone is able to excuse racism when it comes to something that they love” THIS!

It really is a little horrifying how people think they know these people enough to defend their character. You dont know these people. They are not your friends.

Finally someone said it! I don't like the new "wave" of people who try to silence accountability and valid criticism by calling it "toxic cancel culture."

Ew the shane dawson stans are disliking Amanda's videos

Jenna literally brings up examples in which no one asked her to speak on. She did it of her own volition. People love to not listen. And you’re right. She was on the way out. You could tell. She seemed tired.

What I think was pretty mature of Jenna in her video, was that she didn’t try to hide the evidence. She showed the clips that were offensive and owned up to them being wrong. She also cut out any parts that were of her crying (you can tell because there are jump cuts) which I appreciated because it’s a KZfaq video so you have time to reign in your emotions. She also brought up her internalised misogyny videos, because she was ashamed of them and wanted to apologise. I think that something Jenna marbles fans have been doing since her video came out is infantilise her. Treating her like she can do no wrong and not actually allowing her to own up to the things she’s done in her past that weren’t okay. She needed to apologise, it’s important. I am sad that she’s leaving, but if this is what she wants than it should be supported. Clearly she wanted to talk about the racism and the internalised misogyny, she wanted to take accountability. Let’s not treat grown adults like children.

Ive gotten the impression that jenna marbles has wanted to be off youtube for a while and she took this apology as a chance to distance herself from a platform and a persona that she no longer identifies with. She chose to leave. She offered a genuine apology for things she feels sickened by and she left. Shes not a victim or a byproduct. She committed racist acts and she gabe herself consequences that NO ONE ELSE gave her.

That’s why I follow BIPOC content creators. Because I’m not a BIPOC. And I need their opinions. Because as much as I don’t see myself as racist, I still can be racist either passively or actively. Even though you’re not « nice » about it, it doesn’t matter, I NEED TO HEAR IT.

Jenna is a rare case of a public figure holding herself accountable. I honestly think her response was perfect. The fact that she can see that her own channel has caused harm and react appropriately and other people can't speaks volumes

Jenna literally chose to leave KZfaq and she WILLINGLY addressed her problematic videos so idk why people are saying cancel culture made her leave

Jenna cancelled herself. Thats why people are mad. Because one of thier favs showed up in solidarity with this so called ~cancel culture and took accountability instead of quietly leaning into thier privledge - all anyone is asking for. She showed support to this movement of deplatforming racist, sexist etc., behaviour by using herself as an example; deplatforming herself for having benefited from it. As everyone who has, should. Not to make a hero out of her though. All she did was the right thing. Its just so rare it seems monumental... But it shouldn't, so we shouldnt treat it like that. They want to do what they always do, support the the guilty and blame the victim, but you can taste the cognitive dissonance in this one. It will be no time before theyre turning on her for daring to go against the grain, to ensure no one else feels obliged to do the same. So many will imitate her but i doubt many, if any at all, will truly follow her lead. They can blame cancel culture all they want but they damn well know she didnt have to because cancel culture isnt real. And they know they dont have to either.

“Cancel Culture” is filled with yt people who literally chooses who’s going to get cancelled or not.... sickening

The people who say Jenna was “driven to quit” are the same people that said she was “so unproblematic” when jenna clearly expressed that she’s human like everyone else and messes up plenty of times

To be fair Jenna didn’t cry in her video. I wish she didn’t wait until after blacklivesmatter was a trend to make the video. I wish she had directly apologized to the Asian and black community. I feel like she’s grown from where she was in those videos, but I still want to see more change over time.Jenna handled the situation very well, and I wish her the best in her future endeavors.

"go sign up for the school musical if you want your time to shine" I SCREAMED

*"if it didn't apply to you it wouldn't sting"* SAY IT LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE B A C K

“Ugh cancel culture is so toxic” they say as they’re referring to a person who’s being called out for their racism/homophobia/ predatory behavior. People on Twitter be having peas for brains

I still dont understand why white people are accepting the apology... like sis... the apology wasnt for you to accept...tf? As an asian, I appreciate Jenna's apology video and I have genuinely thought of her as a 'good person'. Unlike Jebediah Starfish, Jenna doesn't have a pattern of disgusting behaviour. With that being said , whoever she has offended, it is your choice whether to accept her apology or not.

100% agree. Petition to starting calling 'cancel culture' what is really is, ACCOUNTABILITY CULTURE! I think that emphasises the fact that cancel culture isn't just a form of online bullying in most cases, its holding people accountable for their actions, something we should all be! When we start elevating people above being accountable for their actions, oh boy do we have a problem.

I love this video. A lot of people were saying that “it’s just a bad tan” when she literally had a dark face mask on and impersonating Nicki who’s a black woman

You can see the misogyny when Jafar wasn’t cancelled when Tati was. They both deserved it but only one got away and please let this be the last time he does

People have used "cancel culture" as an excuse to dodge accountability so much that it's getting REAL played out now. Like.... If cancel culture really existed, y'alls faves wouldn't even have the chance to drop a new apology video every other month.

"Some idiots on Twitter said some stuff." Pretty much sums up 2020.

i love how her voice starts off so soft at the beginning and then once she starts ranting she doesn’t hold back i applaud

Jenna did the right thing and made the right move. Claiming Cancel culture came for Jenna is a slap in the face not just to black folks and asians, but Jenna herself. It denies Jenna her agency in addition to infantilizing the people she harmed. I’m not POC, so I can’t accept or reject her apology.

Jenna's video was basically her saying "hey, don't call me unproblematic it makes me uncomfortable, here's why" showed the old privated videos (that got privated long before she did the video) said "this was wrong. there's no excuse, i'm sorry for what i did" shellfish dawney's video was him saying "i was inspired by jenna" and repeating the phrases "i would never do that" "i wasn't myself" "that is not me" not taking responsability, not addressing half of the other shit he did, blaming his cHiLhOoD tRaUmA and deleted comments

*Jenna* : has made a handful of ignorant jokes ten years ago, privated them and changed her content, and apologized while owning up to all of her past. Then leaves the platform because she does not want to live with the guilt of profiting off the oppression of others. She did all this WITHOUT being cancelled. . *Shane* : has made hundreds (at least) of hateful jokes and comments, continues to associate with and platform known racists, and jokes about being "cancelled" and having scandals, all while giving lame apologies for it. Then sees how people treated Jenna for her apology and copies it beat for beat, except for the whole "taking ownership" stuff. Then continues to advertise merch and profit off of his KZfaq channel, despite conning children out of millions of dollars. . While neither of them should have perpetuated racism on their channels, it is clear that the degree they relied on this oppression is very different, and the differences in their apologies speaks volumes to how remorseful they actually are. . (Also, cancel culture shouldn't even be part of this discussion. If they had really played a major part here, then Jenna would still be on KZfaq and Shane would have lost his posting privilege YEARS ago.)

I'm white so obviously take this comment with the smallest grain of salt: I acknowlege Jenna's mistakes, as I acknowledge my own. She was not canceled, but I wish she could have stayed and continued to show what it means to grow and make efforts to rectify those mistakes. She is not unproblematic at all. What she did was racist and wrong. Jenna has grown and learned from her mistakes and realized what she did was wrong and hurt people. So, I wish she felt she could take a break and come back to showcase what it means to take ownership and make efforts to rectify their past racist behavior. I hope she does eventually come back and do this. I don't want her to come back and just ignore all this, but I also dont think she will. If she does not come back, I wish her all the best. If she does, I hope she does it right. I can't accept her apology or tell people to accept it. That's not my place or my intent. It is also not my intent to change anyone's mind. This is just my hope for this situation, to show what it means to truly take responsibility and attempt to really make efforts to recifty past racist behavior. With this example, hopefully more realize the right way to do it rather than just getting defensive or pop out some fake tears and try to move on with their careers. On the other hand, Shane can go fuck himself. He still, to this day, promotes only problematic white people while playing up his "im poor and fat" persona. He hasn't really learned a damn thing as much as he claims otherwise. I hope he does actually get canceled permanently.

the tea is piping hot today

Have you ever thought that if social problems such as racism, homophobia, sexism were never taken as a joke and people really took it seriously, the “cancel culture” would never have existed?

"what were you doing when you were 13? I was a one direction stan" LITERALLY SAME

I'm a white kid from a conservative state and the most problematic thing I did when I was 13 was pick my nose
