no hate to your comment but friendly reminder that booktok has been incredibly generalized for being a platform of (mostly) women promoting books with smut when this is literally just surface level of *actual* booktok. People mostly get recommended these types of booktok videos because they might have interacted with them to hate on the video or out of curiosity! There's actually a very large demographic of booktokers recommending books that aren't just straight up p0rn, it all depends on what book videos you choose to interact with :P (Side note, lots of people on booktube, booktwt, and bookstagram (LMAO) also promote the same smut books that booktok gets flamed for yet people would argue the exact same thing I just mentioned here. food for thought idk)
@@hiemyiyou tore😌 BookTok’s reputation is one of the most bizarre things to have happened in the 21st century, and will be studied by internet theorists in 500 years… if you have BookTokker recommendations I’d love to check out their pages!! because I’m still getting ts on my fyp😭
As someone who cosplays Ghost, this was so funny to watch omg And about masktok, there are usually cod cosplayers, characters from scarymovies and so on. Anything with mask really. You would be surprised how many of them are women, it's just usually men who go to viral I think. This video was awesome, I can see your editing skills improving, keep up with the good work!
Well, at least there's a story idea here. A parody book where a booktok girl is caught between a masktok boy and a bikertok boy, and Biker and Mask have stronger tension with each other than they do with Book but will obviously deny it and compete for her. Would it age poorly in maybe 60 years? Maybe. But now? It would be amazing.
I can imagine telling someone you’re into masks would be like Charlie from It’s Always Sunny when he says he’s into magnets and ghouls on his dating profile 💀💀💀
OMG SHAWN CONGRATS ON 100K!!!! But seriously I’ve been here since 5k and to see you grow has been so amazing! You’re probably the best TH-camr to ever do it (besides Trisha Paytas of course) and you deserve all the success you have found and will continue to find! WOOHOO!
00:27 Maybe my soulmate died, I don't know 🎶 I'm glad I found your channel again after a long time, because yt didn't send me notifications for your new videos at all...
This is why I never even go on tiktok, only if a friend sends me a meme from there, I will use the website to look at it, but otherwise, that's a no from me.
Tangentially related but imo Sarah J Maas is to the "romantasy" genre what suzanne collins was to the dystopia books genre. She changed the game in terms of fantasy books where most of it is smut XD
No offense, but every time I see this take I shake my head. I feel like many of y’all who say this either don’t read a lot of fantasy or only started reading fantasy books after the rise of SJM. SJM did make romantasy more popular, more books in this genre are getting published than ever before, but fantasy books, at least adult fantasy books, have actually always been pretty smutty. Epic fantasy books especially can have a lot of smut in them, I once read about one with an 80 page long bondage scene! The only real difference is that the smut isn’t part of the plot and was usually completely gratuitous, unlike romantasy where it is supposed to keep the story moving forward. Smut is definitely being more heavily marketed than it has been in the past, but it’s always been there Edit: for clarity
@afroqueen698 Sorry to come at you with an 'offense taken' ass reply but i want to explain myself XD I actually say this because i *have* read a whole buncha the other ones before hers; I'm not an expert but fantasy is my favorite genre, and when you're going through the available books in there you do encounter the romance and smut ones. 12-cocked sex gods, distractingly long romantic subplots stopping the fantasy WWI story dead in its tracks, you know what i mean. I wasn't saying she invented the whole romantasy thing or romance and smut in fantasy, just like how collins didn't invent the whole dystopian government setting thing, she just has influence in the genre now that her use of romantasy got popularized by chance and people liked something about what she did (not because she did something entirely new). Maybe the collins comparison is an exaggeration, but she's the name I put to some parts of the growing romantasy thing because this recent popularity means her particular book elements are going to stick around until the next sjm, through direct copycats or just natural diffusion. In my opinion.
what’s really rucking creepy is that u can tell by the bike/mask tok peoples sense of humour that they are middle aged, and u can tell from the comments that the viewers are under 10
This should've been the Halloween video. You could have summoned Amelia Earhart from beyond the grave and it would still he less scary than men on booktok.
raise your hand if you too have voluntarily signed up for , and subsequently paid for, a college class online, and then proceed to not do it at all until the last week. Raise your other hand if it also was an anthropologie class.
If shawn has 100 fans, im one of them. If shawn has 5 fans im one of them. If shawn has 1 fan, that is me. If shawn has 0 fans then rest in peace to me bc im dead
I believe the word he’s looking for is closeted bisexual/gay with a ton of internalized homophobia who likes to touch other men’s private parts but still pretends to be „straight“

Enemies to lovers, 50k words. /J

The Halloween video was so good Shawn
They 100% are.
Booktok is supposed to encourage good books but instead of that it's js recommending cheap p0rn books😭

@@shawnmccombhis name is Shawn Mccomb but idk
men will dress up as monsters as ghouls just to avoid professing their undying love to each other
The reason he stops posting is the reason I delete this app, everyone say thank you Shawn.
thank you shaaaawn for keeping this random guy on youtube, you've done us all such a service!
@@NIGHTBLOODUSAGIyesss a TH-cam without sharfaashameem5835 is a TH-cam I don’t wanna live in✋🏻💔
❤️🔥
Thank You Shawn!😝
Thanks Shawn u are so brave
everytime “masks” was mentioned my brain kept thinking “mascs” and i was very confused where the lesbian where at
LITERALLY SAMEE
i can’t wait to learn how to lip sync with my neck with today’s sponsor Skillshare💜
you got this queen😽👑
I wanna tell a trusted adult about this
REAL OMFG
😭😭😭😭
A Shawn upload, hit 100k subs and another sponsor? Girl you’re on a rollll
My sigma role model is finally back. Never do that again, Shawn.
I missed you this app is boring without you
The world is crumbling but at least Shawn reached a 100k congrats King👅👁
when I needed you the most you returned, thank you mother
And just when I thought I was going to kms, Shawn Mccomb dropped a TH-cam video😊☝🏽
r u okay ? /gen
on a srs note, dont joke abt sucide.
As someone who cosplays Ghost, this was so funny to watch omg
And about masktok, there are usually cod cosplayers, characters from scarymovies and so on. Anything with mask really. You would be surprised how many of them are women, it's just usually men who go to viral I think.
This video was awesome, I can see your editing skills improving, keep up with the good work!

…why is it wet and smell like that? THANK YOU THOOO🫶🏻
0:19 the way I immediately turned down my volume- ☠️

"When I was 11, I was watching Isis beheadings." Made my jaw drop but yeah that sums up the early internet experience lmao
Omg my favorite parasocial bestie just posted!
Also, the snail trail comment is insane.
everytime you say masks my brain automatically translates it to mascs as in masculine lesbians,, somehow made this video even funnier
every day, lust-induced psychosis surpasses my expectations.
your unhinged intros and sounds(?) always deeply resonate with me, like yessss exactlyyy i totally get it
imagine watching this at 12 year old, i wouldve ended up so insane i cant WHAT IS GOING ON 😭😭
the weird threeway that masktok, booktok, and bikertok have makes me want to delete tiktok and live off the grid.
The picture of the car in the ditch😭

THE WARNING ON THE BALD MAN VIDEO I'M SCREAMING

7:46 i love this bit cause it sounds like he’s saying i love mascs
9:20 i laughed so much at this stupid face my stomach hurts omg why did it get me so much
I can imagine telling someone you’re into masks would be like Charlie from It’s Always Sunny when he says he’s into magnets and ghouls on his dating profile 💀💀💀
school is causing me to be on the verge of a panic attack rn and seeing this notification made me feel better
Congratsss shawn on 100k! I have been here since 4. I am so proud of you 🥹
3:02 TH-cam has been gatekeeping Shawn from me lately. I'm jumping on this halloween video right after watching this one !!

because yt didn't send me notifications for your new videos at all...
Wow, 100k. Congratulations, Shawn. Your channel has grown so much. But dw, you haven't (you're still a menace)💖.
This is why I never even go on tiktok, only if a friend sends me a meme from there, I will use the website to look at it, but otherwise, that's a no from me.
Best segue into a video sponsor, ever
19:21 omg rAw TiMe mentioned. Nah Istg it is a DISGRACE that these people decided to use an audio from this beautiful amazing show 🙏😔

I am here to declare shawn as my favourite TH-camr , No one on TH-cam makes me laugh except Shawn 😭
literally snorting in the staff room on lunch break at the new job-hope they don’t think i’m insane 😁
Congrats on your new job!!
as a book girlie who hates spice, booktok is so over glamoured it pisses me off 😭😭
9:21 almost bust out laughing in the middle of class. This is criminal
men will literally kiss each other with masks on before they admit they gay like 😭⁉
what’s really rucking creepy is that u can tell by the bike/mask tok peoples sense of humour that they are middle aged, and u can tell from the comments that the viewers are under 10
Omg I could not stop laughing, why did this channel not get recommended earlier to me
New Shawn video!!! Thank goodness I've been famished
I’m so glad I deleted TikTok. Best decision EVER
5:05 Grimley B. Savage 😭
HAPPY 100K!!!! IM SO PROUD OF YOU 😭
Ah yes, the classic high fantasy biker guy and masked menace slow burn enemies to lovers trope.
This should've been the Halloween video. You could have summoned Amelia Earhart from beyond the grave and it would still he less scary than men on booktok.
FINALLY 🗣️💯 also congrats for the 100k 💥
you’re my new fav youtuber
I have a friend who is into bikes, masks, and books, so I assume their FYP is 90% this. But now I'm scared to ask 😬
