So I heard about this drama like a week or so ago, I was mostly indifferent to it. This video comes out, I think "Hey, cool, a new iDubbbz video, this is gonna be fun" and instead of getting something silly I get him failing miserably at trying to defend his girlfriend's actions. I don't think less of him for this, frankly. He's just like any other man with oneitis, unable to see his girlfriend's faults because he loves her too much and would do anything for her. But making this video to inform basically all of the audience of his insecurity over his girlfriend and her actions was a huge mistake.
I think this video is a sign of something far larger, though, an issue that spreads beyond iDubbbz or anybody else. I think this is ultimately iDubbbz having a particularly bad case of troll's remorse and him refusing to come to terms with it because of his girlfriend. Almost everybody on the internet who's done something edgy like Ian has gone through it at some point because a person like Anisa has tried to make him "take it back", and it's ultimately to be seen whether he'll back off and realize he should stick by his own, initial principles or if he'll double down. If he chooses to stick to his guns after she dumps him or he dumps her (which is definately happening within the next couple months), he may be able to reclaim his fame to a degree. But if he chooses to double down, then, oh boy, is this ride down to obscurity going to be a long and bumpy one.
