Of course he didn't, you think his videos have substance? They never really do lol. It's really clear he's just trying to hop onto this Jeffree Star & Shane Dawson stuff to get more subscribers (clout) even though he's really bringing nothing substansial or new to the discussion. Like said before, his content is lazy and he piggybacks off the numerous other people who put the leg work in to find information on these topics.Blaire made a video on Shane. She didn't really say anything of substance, but I was really hoping she would go in on him and denounce him completely.
(I'm apparently inept because I can't figure out how to embed it but... it can be found here.)
And why would he "denounce" him? They were never really friends. He only made like 2 video collabs with him and they weren't even in the same year. Just saying, they didn't have a close relationship so I wouldn't expect Blaire to denounce someone he wasn't really close with.
Teased about it on Instagram too, made it sound like more than it was:
At least Blaire is not making up excuses for Shane, I'll give Blaire that. I remember when Nyk/ContraPoints was making videos where he was making light of pedophilia and literally everyone was making excuses for Nyk. I mean, what's the difference between Shane making light of pedophilia in his videos and Nyk doing she same? The fact that Shane involved actual minors in his videos? I guess the only difference is that Shane's fans aren't pedophilia apologists the way Nyk's fans evidently are. I basically disagree with Blaire's claim that Youtube audiences are less tolerant of pedophilia jokes today than they were back when Shane was making those videos. A Youtuber's ability to get away with this kind of stuff is heavily dependant on the kind of audience a Youtuber has. Nyk could still come out with a video tomorrow making fun of pedophilia, claiming that his mom was molesting him as a kid (one of his "jokes" from the Psychiatry video, which he has since privated to cover up), and his fans would still find that funny and defend it just like they did back in 2017.
I feel like the reason Contrapoints can get away with it is because his audience are mostly fetish AGPs like himself while Shane's audience was mostly of regular people, mostly young teens and that is what makes it look worse on his part.
