Shane Dawson loves all these crazy, wacky theories of his, he's really made it his "thing" over the years. Today I'll be talking about some of the most dangerous theories he's ever brought up in his videos, and why I have a big problem with them, should be fun!

Pinely doing more research in one video than Shane has ever done in his entire career
Not exactly difficult to achieve but we respect Pinely’s research regardless
@@genericname8727 the whole point of my comment tbf 😉 shit on Dawson and praise Pinely who genuinely does a great job with his vids
hello😭 I'm having financial difficulties this month, can you send me some money just for once?
@@blt812 stop trying to scam people.
For real! I can’t believe I ever used to watch that crap. I didn’t believe any of it, I just thought it was entertaining. But now that I know how some of those « theories » hurt people, I’m disgusted
Shane Dawson: *talking about a spooooky conspiracy about "leaders controlling the media/society"*
Me, a Jew: I think I've seen this one before
me too............it doesn't end up well for you tbh.
As Taylor swift said “I’ve seen this movie before and I didn’t like the ending”
Same with Polish people

This BS

It’s spooky how much I want to see more of Pinely debunking Shane’s nonsensical, fear mongering theories
Theory’s aren’t facts you know.
@@Tensolin01 he treats it as such though
@@Birdyboys So it’s a “fact” because of how he says it? Interesting way of seeing facts if you are stupid.
@@Tensolin01 Sadly there are people who present that kinda stuff as fact and viewers take it seriously, like back when MatPat made the "Link is dead" theory and people started spreading it as canon
same
Shane was constantly changing himself whenever people got sick of him so he can find new fans.
Yikes 😬
I mean to be fair he's been around for a while and since his old sketch comedy days sketch comedy has become a niche in TH-cam and its kind of hard to become popular unless you're really good or have a really distinct style like Gus Johnson or Joel Haver so it is understandable he'd change up his content. I much prefer that over Onision who is now like 35 and still makes content like he's a 20 something year old on youtube in 2005.
@@greentaigo2552 agreed. It is sometimes necessary to remain relevant
Ikr, he had multiple phases: The "dark humor" phase, the food videos phase, the conspiracy theory phase, the vlog phase and the """documentary""" phase
@@Gugunet26 Right. Hard to figure who's the "real" Shane Dawson.
I like how Shane tried to change his voice to make it sound more spooky and exciting but then the camera angle ruins any possible affect
like, why is he so close to the camera-
Ikrrr like he’s such a big TH-camr he should know how to create these effects
idk man shane dawson staring into your souls with his huge big eyes is pretty scary ngl
@@crouchingidiot maybe if you’re a kid (and I mean children should be genuinely afraid of this guy.
@@angelman906 i’m not a minor and it was a joke but children should definitely be afraid of this man
i know it is trivial out of everything he's ever done, but something about the fact that sh*ne tried outing dan and phil YEARS before they were ready when he himself knew what it was like being in the public eye and also being closeted just really doesn't sit well with me. also when he basically went "uwu maybe 9/11 was fake lol" and just moved on. that one also doesnt sit right
When did he try outing them?
@@kzzbtt once with the psychic twins I think
jai kussrow he also read a ton of graphic fanfiction of them on his channel and overall was pretty open about the fact that he shipped them. if he was some random small niche channel maybe that’d be one thing, but he’s one of the largest channels on youtube who’s met them personally which makes it super weird and invasive of their privacy.
what REALLY doesn’t sit w me is his seemingly compulsive need to diagnose people with socio/psychopathy/narcissism. In reality these diseases are quite rare and it takes a true professional to accurately diagnose someone with those MEDICAL DIAGNOSIS’S
@@annie3423 It's okay because he's an empath.

9 hours ago
CLOWN SMASH
Yes 9 hours before the video came out
Boy, it sure is spooky how little Shane thinks of the consequences before opening his mouth.
that's how he got caught being a i can't say but it rhymes with schmedomile.
The only consequence he had in mind was making money off of impressionable teenagers lol
@@rotting.remains true now we all hate him
"They put this into cartoons, so people get used to the idea, and wouldn't lose their minds when it actually happened"
Me: Well, then I wouldn't say it was very effective now, was it?
CONSPIRACY THEORY: mr youtuber is actually pinely 😳
That makes no fucking sense.
Thats spooky
... unless? ☺️
Proof?
Sounds like fake news
People's willingness to just believe whatever kinda is spoooky. I would definitely like to see this become a series!
Did you just say the racial slur spook? Racist.
I’m just kidding! I wanted to mess with you when you said that because you are right!
Kids dude, kids. 14 year olds are the worst about it too.
@@Hiikaa69 Hmmm....funny are we? Eh?!
@@hayleycakes3435 I really wish that were true, but more and more adults have been exposing their ignorance. The last US election and pandemic have shown us just how many people can so easily be convinced of actual insanity.
@@hayleycakes3435 it's of all ages, anyone can be filled with ignorant bliss. We already know it's not impossible for grown ups do be dumb
I'm so glad people are talking about this now. When I was a teenager I used to be a fan of Shane's conspiracy videos and, even though I didn't realise it at the time, it definitely affected my thinking and I went down a bit of a rabbit hole, which I only escaped after I stopped watching his content. It gave me such a warped view of the world that wasn't based in reality at all, and like you said, I'm certain that if I didn't get out of that mindset I would've gone down a much darker path
The videos are like not even three years old? So you’re still a teenager? Or at least it can’t be that long ago that you believed in that stuff
@@nothnkyou a lot can change in 3 years, especially when you're a teenager and still learning and growing and figuring out who you are.
Imagine how much you changed from say 13-18. It's a huge difference.
i used to always watch his theory videos but i thankfully have a super skeptical outlook on theories n stuff so i wasnt heavily affected by the content. sucks that you went through that though.
@@nothnkyou I was like 13 when I started watching him and I believed everything he did and that he could do no wrong. I was so stupid back then, I’m so glad I don’t support him now and that I’m old enough to know that he was manipulating his fans. Like yeah, I go back and watch his videos, not out of enjoyment but to see when he was a shitty person and wonder why I supported him
Nothing wrong with being inquisitive or skeptical, it's healthy to to look into whatever you're worried about. It's when you believe it and become obsessed, damning anyone who is too 'stupid' to see the 'truth'
I bet you... Shane is one of the people who think that the Simpsons predicted the future....
As someone who used to watch these you would be right
Yes... yes he is
But they do predict the future, maybe not completely accurately, but they have predicted some things
@@StrangerOnTheWeb what things have they predicted?
@@ashikjaman1940 trump becoming president, higgs boson particle theory
ONe thing I can't stand is how out of context all the "predicting 9/11" crap is. The Towers were targets of a bombing attack in the early 1990s, so it made sense that things at the time would reference that attack. The fact that another attack happened was not predicting anything >_
Hmm 🤔 I actually didn’t know that put just the 9/11 part but it makes more sense that the shit Shane was rambling about 😅
The weird part I think is the morning of bush is at that school and the kids before he reads are made to repeat words on the board such as “plane “ “hit” etc 😅
@@ElinWinblad Can I see the video?
@@sarahlaurent62 kite steel hit plane th-cam.com/video/Rg5NvKpJfKE/w-d-xo.html
@@ElinWinblad They're saying playing kite steel must" (the words written on the board) not plane or hit. How are you worst at reading than six year olds?
I think my comment may have been automatically deleted because it was assumed I was promoting ideas I was actually against. Basically, Shane has a history of getting his conspiracy theories from dangerous sources that promote dangerous ideas except he’d use more dog whistles within his own content. Dangerous for anyone who looked further into the topics he promoted. There’s a particular example that comes to mind but I don’t think I’ll be allowed to describe it in the TH-cam comment section.
He also made multiple “conspiracy theory” videos apparently trying to out Dan and Phil, which he’d conclude by accusing them of qu*erbaiting (they’ve both since come out). So there’s that..
I used to actually believe Shane when I was a kid, its so embarrassing to look back on
i just know that if shane dawson was making videos now he’d have made a covid vaccine conspiracy
agreed
The whole thing doesn't even make sense in itself, since when "The Event" happened, nobody was prepared for it or took it lightly. It makes more sense to argue that all the war movies that exist primed the public to be willing to go to war at any given time.
It's even backed by evidence, the DOD isnt just funding movies like Captain America and The Avengers for fun.
@@stardoogalaxie9314 the messages of the MCU films are pretty anti-war and anti-government, there's just a legal cause where you can't snow anything military in Hollywood without getting funding from them
@Dilbot Okay, but the messaging of the movies are still anti-war so I'm not sure what your point is.
I'm not Jewish, but rather autistic, and I can also attest to conspiracy theories being harmful to our community as well.
Wait I’m autistic too what do you mean by that?
Not saying your wrong btw I’m just curious bc iv never really heard that before !
@@ollieno971 when I wrote this comment I was primarily thinking about anti vaxxers (who often demonize those with autism) as well as mental health conspiracy theories, in particular ones about how autism "doesn't exist" or it's "an epidemic"
@@ollieno971 I actually know people who are effected by such conspiracy theories.
a lot of the awful views held by anti-vaxxers and medical conspiracy theorists paint having mental/ physical disabilities as something which a) doctors can somehow create and alter as if many aren't the result of just how people are born and b) the absolute worst case scenario. Becky from Alabama would rather her kid dies of meningitis than risk the vaccine somehow melting her sons brain and make him autistic, DUH!
Couldn’t the poster in “Johnny Bravo” be an homage to movies like “Towering Inferno” or “Die Hard”
Wtf
@@mattguy1773 What don't you understand?
The conspiracy theories were what really put me off Shane, the way he constantly took things at face value and treated the wildest things as truth while having such a loyal impressionable audience was so concerning, especially when he was talking about real life deaths. The irony of him talking about how there are powers trying to brainwash people while actively spreading poorly researched misinformation has only become more tragic now that we've seen the impact of misinformation with regards to things like the Covid pandemic and white nationalism and the millions of lives that suffer as a result
But at the same time, when did he ever present any “Theory” (important word btw) as a fact? Theory’s aren’t facts. You don’t need to believe it, if you aren’t stupid. Stupid people deserve to think stupid things are real. It’s part of natural selection.
There are companies trying to manipulate us; we call them advertisers and the tech giants are spending a lot of money researching how to get us to respond positively to internet ads.
@@Tensolin01 yeah but when those "stupid people" are just kids who haven't developed proper skills in critical thinking and would be inclined to believe someone they idolize, i.e. his entire audience... then yeah it becomes dangerous to spread this kind of misinformation like it's fact. As was said in this video, 9/11 "trutherism" is often a gateway into much more dangerous conspiracy thinking, with much realer consequences - like white nationalism for example. Giving young kids essentially the tools to start down a rabbit hole of conspiracy theories isn't a responsible use of a platform of Shane's size.
@@doperagu8471 Still not sure how it magically makes a theory a fact. Because it doesn’t, regardless of who believes it.
As an old Shane fan, I hate how stupid and naive I was and believed everything he said. I supported him through everything up until the Breaking My Silence video came out. I’m 16 now and it’s a slap in the face that I believed everything he said. I believed a lot of his conspiracies because I trusted him and now I feel stupid. Obviously as a young teen when I supported him I didn’t see the need to look things up and check his facts cause I believed he wouldn’t lie. I’m glad I don’t support him anymore and I hate that I bought his makeup pallet. If he comes back (and let’s hope he doesn’t), I’m not going to support him anymore
I used to binge watch the theory videos
Same, I was young but thankfully stopped watching his content :)
me too💀
My favorite part about 9/11 "predictions" is all these people who apparently don't know that the Twin Towers got bombed in the early 90s, I believe it was, so some of these show's "predictions" are actually just referencing that thing that already happened. (Related, some of the "Simpsons predicted Trump running for president! :O" shit is a reference to him ALREADY running for president in like 2000)
I doubt they know or remember the OKC bombing either.
I used to love Shane's conspiracy videos when I was, like 15. I guess I just loved the spooooky tales.
I think that was his goal. Don't know why people are taking it seriously.
@@3arthandsky i agree
I think you just had good enough media reading skills to not get affected by them. I knew all the theories were ridiculous, I just loved entertaining the thought of how easily you can make them sound logical. I didn't realize how many actually believed them.
@@Piaapo a ridiculous amount of shane theories were about celebrities.
I was a young teen when I watched his yt videos and was a huge fan of the conspiracy ones. I suffer from an anxiety disorder so the videos started to make me even more anxious and borderline paranoid about everything. I stopped drinking water that wasn't from water bottles for years. Literal years because he one time mentioned a fluoride conspiracy theory. I was going through other stuff that just ran up my paranoia and I do think that those videos contributed to why I take meds now. I am absolutely serious when I say that I never want to see this man on this platform ever again.
I am really sorry about what happened to you. Just goes to show that creatures need to be more considered about the things that they post. I used to love Shane and this kind of content but if there are resulting in people in you situation I think this more that enough reason to be stopped or at least be given more serious disclaimers
@@rkthecharacter4649 he did give disclaimers at the beginning of his videos because he didn't want to be sued plus the water that comes from the city isn't as clean as you think thats why you need a really good filter. What i didn't like is that some of the theories were old news. Wish he covered newer ones or less heard of.
shane really cited a guy who believes in those antisemitic reptilian overlord theories and didn't think he was making a mistake at any point, huh?
the "theories" in his videos aren't spooky; he's just repeating misinformation with no hint of skepticism or critical thinking.
@@crystal-sky are u joking?
So I used to watch him as mindless entertainment to play in the background. At the time, it was all too stupid to believe, so I never thought critically about anything.
But 2020 opened my eyes to how vulnerable people can become to dangerous conspiracies. With the right conditions, people can believe anything.
At the end of the day, the dude can post whatever he wants. But I'm glad the wider consciousness around him has changed. I'm glad his audience has either left him as I did, or now consume his shit way more critically
Honestky I think 2020 and 2021 has really brought into the light how dangerous conspiracy theories can be from the coronavirus to vaccines to the attack on the American capital which was essentially an attempted coup
Very well said. I lost a friend to covid conspiracy theories because I got vaccinated. She reposts conspiracy based stuff nearly every 30 minutes, I’m so worried about her
Yep, with the *RIGHT* conditions.
Doesn't help that most of his viewers, esp now, ARE CHILDREN.
The problem is people don’t understand that theories aren’t facts.
As a Jew, I agree with the statement that believing in dumb nonsense can lead to dangerous results. Especially when an authority figure is telling you about it. “spooooooky”
i've been waiting SO LONG for this to get called out. the only other person was bobby burns, and shane destroyed his career.
the comments in his theory videos are very worrying, especially the flat earth conspiracy video. kids legit thanking shane for waking them up. i think that's one of the incidents bobby brought up but i can't 100% remember.
shane's conspiracy theories are misinformed _at best._ debunking them should have been shane's goal in those videos.
Plus, kids cartoons do help us deal with tough subjects (most of them anyways) so they address them so that if they do happen we can be prepared or know how to deal with the subject at hand. Fucking Sesame Street did an episode after 9/11
Also, I can't believe how many people were ok with these BLATANTLY ANTI-SEMITIC theories. Any theory insinuating that there is a "secret elite" (IE, Illuminati, lizard people) is just coding for "Jewish elite". The man who introduced the lizard people theory was a through and through Holocaust denier. It's so sickening how Shane would spread these vile theories to children, who of course can't see the subtext.
yes, I remember when his sociopath video came out when I was still in high school. I was 16 years old at the time and the majority of the people I knew watched the video. Everyone was talking about how like "1 in 10 people are a sociopath" or some shit like that and kept saying I wonder how many sociopaths are in this room. His videos did so much damage to impressionable teenagers such as myself. I'm a bit older now, 19, so I am more are on his bs. It's ridiculous.
Bro I literally had to argue with my friend on why the titanic isnt an elaborate scheme for insurance fraud.
I was the teenager who was watching this. I was 13 when I started watching his conspiracy videos and did for a few years. Nearly everyone in the comments took his words at face value. And me, a skeptic by nature, even beloved in some of this bull shit because I was dumb and impressionable and while I knew the internet lied, I thought I could trust Shane most of the time because I didn’t understand how parasocial relationships work/should work.
TV: shows the twin towers because they’re a big thing in a very culturally important city in America
The people who did the 11th of the 9th incident: deliberately targeted big things in culturally important places to make a statement

Na... NAAAAANIIIIII?!
How he was, and even now after all the dispicable shit is still popular that he remains having a large fanbase will never cease to amaze and mostly disgust me 😐
I havent seen anyone say..."I love Shane" Not anyone.
@@europianbob look at his Insta comments section, full of people begging him to come back and telling him they love & miss him..
They probably either do the same dispicable things Shane did or they are under age children that don't know any better / understand
I feel like if all that stuff about him never resurfaced, Shane would have probably made one of those conspiracy theories videos about Q-Anon.
Your commitment to analyzing literally Shane Dawson’s entire career is so commendable. I always love your Shane videos.
"The mountain comes to Manhatten" combined with the visuals is actually a p good ad. the whispy clouds around the towers and the plane flying nearby indicates that these buildings would be as tall as mountains, which would've been a wild concept to have in the heart of Manhattan at the time. good ad, bad take by Shane.
Man you shouldn’t be afraid to say exactly what you’re thinking when it comes to this stuff because it is serious - I know what you mean when you say ‘another stupid thing, and another’, but some people might not, and it’s better if you just say that yes, some of these theories reach the ‘anti-Semitic point of no return’ quite quickly
There are some interesting articles out there that talk about the actual danger of conspiracy theories, particularly right wing ones, which tend to focus on the idea that there is a group of hyper-competent individuals running things behind the scenes
Idk I just have seen people reach dangerous places with this kind of stuff and it definitely never sat right with me that Shane just dabbled in it like it was just an interesting little side thing rather than a huge thing that actually ruins people’s lives
Yeah its just my fear of getting demonetized lol
@@Pinely ah fair enough one has to appease the TH-cam algorithm gods
my biggest flex was that I was never a fan or even watched any of his videos
Lucky
Does making himself look and sound like he’s going to cry when he says “children’s TV show” make him think he’ll be believed more? 😆
@@liina1028 both are very punchable imo
Don't make fun of him he is an 🌠 *empath* 🌠 . In all seriousness though, Shane is soo manipulative and I can't believe I used to fall for that sh*t.
Yes. Yes it does.
Even though I didn’t believe a word he said, it was soooo entertaining to watch.
Does making himself look and sound like he’s going to cry when he says “children’s TV show” make him think he’ll be believed more? 😆
Mmm maybe HE thinks that🤷♀️ we will never know
If we got so desenceticed to towers exploding, how come I remember sitting in Norway crying at school because of World Trade Center? Stuff like Shanes videos make me so angry
pinely single handedly keeping down Shane Dawson's return
He already came back
@@doraeguyakaneddie6586 Huh? I havent seen him anywhere.
thanks, pinely.
I’d say Nick Diramio is helping as well! He’s very funny and has the best clap backs at Shane lol.
Here's my explanation for why cartoons seem to "predict" the future:
The real world is running out of ideas and just imitates fiction.
The thing is, that in those kind of videos (about conspiracies) people will often shove as much arguments in your face as they can. So you dont have time to think about each of them individually so you just end up with the feeling that a video, with _so much arguments_ cannot possibly be wrong. Mix that with some cognitive bias and you might end up "in the rabbit hole".
So its great that you took the time to demolish those argunents individually.
I hate conspiracy theories like there’s this bad one that says Mr. TH-camr and pinely are the same smh
yes that is the wor......... *remembers all those ant1s3m1t1c ones* .........ok one of the worst ones but not as bad as those ones.
I'm sure Shane thinks "The Towering Inferno" is a movie predicting the 9/11.
I'm sure Shane thinks a toddler carelessly knocking over a tower of blocks predicted 9/11.
"How do you know the name of my prophetic dream?" ~ Homer Simpson
I love how he even used the popular spanish children's comic at 13:10 to prove his point, ah yes someone is also going to cook a giant sausage on the statue of liberty soon...
I mean, I am so he's not wrong.
I want more spooky Shane Dawson telling us about spooky theories being watched by a not so spooky Pinely.
pinely, your brain was beautiful before it broke it half
when i was young i heard so many other people parrot these sorts of things and didnt think too much about it until i got a bit older then i saw all the horrible ways of thinking it can drag you down into.
im so glad i never fell down that hole bc the type of rhetorics that get spread around are so dangerous
I guess he felt like he had to change his content because people started to hate him.
I never watched any of Shanes stuff so I thought his conspiracy vids were all just stuff like the chuck e cheese pizza thing, were people really just fine seeing him do 9/11 truther shit lmao?? wonder if he would have progressed into uploading quirky holocaust denial vids in the alternate timeline where he didn't get "cancelled"
he says it was to make people more comfortable with 911 like the nation didnt freak out and we didnt start a global war on terror because of that
Not even going into how legitimately dangerous people putting real faith in conspiracy theories has become recently (as you rightly pointed out) --many of these conspiracy are just _boring._
The Nazis stealing the Ark of the Covenant or the Holy Grail, the Spear of Destiny being used to bring about the Apocalypse, the Necronomicon summoning Cthulhu, those are at least *fun* ideas that make for enjoyable stories. But these ones about kids cartoons and recycled pizza and Bigfoot? They're lame, pointless, and uninteresting. "Ooooo, some hairy guy in the woods, ooooo maybe they had a _naughty joke_ in one frame of a cartoon, oooooo pizza slices look funny!"
And as for the 9/11 "truther" theories and reptilians ruling the world, well it's basically a precursor to all the violent QAnoners we're now dealing with and a lot of times is just a mask for other racial/ethnic/national/religious hatred.
I honestly love cryptids videos even if I know they're fake, the idea of monsters haunting places is cool :) and the bad quality pictures add a lot to it. Plus stuff like Cthulhu and the Necronomicon are not theories, it's dark fantasy narrative
Edit: stupid typo
"violent QAnoners" Could you please show examples of these violent people doing violent things?
I have seen very few Qanons doing anything other than sit online or where clothing showing "qanon", I dont follow the mindless bunch but you cant just label a group of people violent without repeated actions that are violent....even if you disagree with them and despise them.
@@Raymo2u There was a Qanon believer that murdered his own children because he claimed they had serpentine DNA. His name is Matthew Taylor Coleman if you want to learn more.
@@Raymo2u didnt those Qanoners try to overthrow the Government??? With the express purpose of hurting and executing people in the senate? That happened in January, of this year.
@@yourdad6236 i mean cops were hurt and died and property was destoryed … there was also like a whole noose/gallows set up in front of the capitol so i wouldn’t put it past the rioters
The only thing that actually made me feel creeped out was when he said that Johnny Bravo episode came out a few months before 9/11, but like, that doesn’t mean anything. It’s only one building anyway.
predictive programming is a real thing in psychology (like when you get a bird to hit a button to get food, itll do it loads of times) of course "predictive programming" isnt the real term, however similar, and shane is WAY off.
He is playing into the stuff more which could make it more believable to other ppl. If he just reported on them and said like "wow, could you imagine if that was true??" then it wouldnt have been so bad..
He did that in the beginning, I think. Or just covered old events and creepy things on TV. Then things took a turn.
Those conspiracy videos make me feel the same irrational anger as clickbait articles that use a nebulous term such as "scientist" implying literally EVERY scientists are agreeing about some new whackass thing. "Scientists Say Drinking Orange Juice Will Not Just Prevent Cancer, But utterly Destroy It in 1-on-1 Arena Combat"
also I feel an irrational discomfort with how close Shane sits to the camera.
Another example would be those "Don't eat this fruit to lose weight" ads. Like you show a fruit that has a lot of things that a lot of people may need and you're demonizing it?
fun fact: these videos are INCREDIBLY dangerous for mentally ill people, i struggle with psychosis bc of various mental illnesses and i found shanes conspiracy videos maybe a year or two before i was diagnosed and put on meds, the period that came afterwards was a blur, i was so paranoid and scared people were watching me, every song and tv show had secret subliminal messages, the government was gonna get me for knowing these things, etc. It was extremely damaging on my overall life
Yeah intrusive thoughts also suck with things like that. Sorry you went through what you did
how are you now?
When he said predictive programming in the beginning, I was shocked that Shane was aware of surveillance capitalism and wondered why you had a problem with it. I’m far less shocked now, but more certain that TH-cam’s board of directors belong in prison for crimes against humanity.
To add, the Twin Towers were attacked in 1993 too. I doubt the animators of that cartoon had enough psychic powers to predict the 2nd attack in 2001.
As someone who watched the Tick growing up, I must inform you that the city the show takes place in is not New York but is actually called The City. Check Make Athiest.
Some of the old folks, like me, may remember that the X-Files had a spin-off comedy series (I am completely serious, this was a real thing) following the adventures of Langly, Frohike, and Byers from the original series. In March 2001 they aired an episode that depicted very similar happenings to "the Event" and I am always pissed when no one references it in their "predictive programming" compilations (because it was a great series that deserved more attention, not because I believe in pp).
I don't remember this at all and I have no idea why.
Too late, conspiracy theorists have already included the episode in their "predictive programming" compilations.
Honestly it would be cool to see you cover more of his crazy conspiracies 🤷♀️
i agree
You know it’s a good day when pinely uploads
I’d highly recommend Captain Disillusion’s video “The Undebunkable” to anyone in the comments here! The moral of it is basically “trusting everything you see if dangerous, but so is being too skeptical”. Also CD’s channel in general is just incredible
I remember avgn saying something about this that reason the two towers get destroyed in media so often is because it seemed absurd that that can happen
when my mom was a kid in the early 70s, she and my grandma would go into manhattan to shop all the time and my mom would look at the towers and go "mom, what would happen if they fell?" did my mom predict this event, shane? or did she have a thought about a big fixture falling over, like any other weirdo 5 year old would?
also, that programming clearly didn't work bc people still lost their collective minds when it happened so i don't understand why he's trying to give this example as a "checkmate" like???? wow shane so spoooooooky, the CIA is quaking
Im just waiting for another conspiracy theorist to come along and claim Pinely "the jew" is only trying to protect the illuminati after Shane had exposed them.
Why would you say something so brave yet controversial?
@@hevil93 Im mocking conspiracy theorists!!!
@@alunoodalmheiri7028 not very spooky of you breh
This was the most stupid theory I have ever heard in my life, and I read through the whole conspiracy theory iceberg, so yeah... I'd love to see more about these weird theory videos he made! :)
**Sobs in I was a younger teen, fresh out of identifying as a right winger and went right into believing in conspiracies again because of Shane**
I always found those spoooky theory videos fun to watch when I was younger, and it's still fun to think what if these theories were real, but the way Shane portrays as if it's hidden knowledge and not a crack theory always kinda weirded me out
So that's how he knew, they are true for the most part but don't go seeking for hidden knowledge, he was in the know, he's one of them like alex jones and such that's how they got to "gain access" to their secrets they didn't do investigations or research like some have
I remember I saw a fairly odd parents theory from him that said he was apart of the illumaniti
His "evendince" was that "his author ego was timmy triangle" even though that was one episode
What kills me is that he acts as if those towers hadnt been attacked before 11/09, like its sone crazy government hoax, also that johnny bravo poster??... Towering inferno reference?!
They're not even 'his' theories and he never adds his own perspectives or research. He literally steals them from online. Yet people were so in love with his series and didn't want it to stop?? I don't get it.
His k-pop theory in this video was so infuriating! He could have talked about actual idols being mistreated but instead took videos of BTS laughing and said they were fainting. Or choking on some smoke when they got too close to pyrotechnics and said they were throwing up from being over worked. They are so many idols ACTUALLY being mistreated and fucked over but he chose to straight up lie for clicks! Or he showed Krystal fainting on stage without adding the important information that she is anemic. He just fucking lied!!!
This makes me so upset because as a kid I definitely believed the 9/11 conspiracy theories. Having seen a big TH-camr like Shane Dawson basically echoing my already held beliefs would have just solidified that as a kid 😭
Even though sometimes I watch some conspiracy theories videos, I completely agree that they can be dangerous and some are completely rooted in hateful ideas but people seem to not realize.
Also I remember years ago watching Shane talk about the headless woman trope in one of his videos. Which how so many ads and movie posters have the body of a woman, generally a sexy one and they don't show her head/face and sometimes the lady is not even relevant. I thought he was going to talk about objectification or something like that, but he implied that maybe the Illuminati or whatever will cut the head off of women 🤠
Shane’s face makes me so upset
Oh my God, this reminds me of "psychics" that act like they're spirit mediums who can talk to your late loved ones by saying the most generic, vague things that could apply to anyone or anything. If your evidence is vague enough, of course you're going to see a connection. That doesn't mean a vague connection between two things makes them related. Buildings collapsing and exploding is just a generic trope used in action movies/shows to display the high stakes and danger of the plot.
Also, isn't another part of this "predictive conditioning" or whatever saying they're putting these things in media to make us become okay with them? Because I think a vast majority of people can differentiate between fiction and reality. Just because we see a building exploding on a fictional tv show or in a movie doesn't mean we'd be fine with it happening in real life. I think most people would still be terrified of anything, especially a building, suddenly exploding or collapsing. There's no sound psychological basis for this "predictive conditioning." You put it perfectly, it's just some fear-mongering bullshit.
I cannot stand that tone Dawson does in all his videos. It's very off-putting like he's trying to convince me he's a good person.
all of his theories are rooted in antisemitism, racism, misogyny and just bullshit. it’s actually dangerous his fans believed this then and now, i’m so glad u called this out
Ableism as well
when my cousins were toddlers they liked building tall towers using blocks and then smash them down either with their hands or because toy cars and planes crashed into them. did my cousins predict the attacks in september 2001? logically, no they didnt. but using shane logic they 100% did. so spooooky
11:50 actually the picture in the newspaper isn’t random 😆 you talk about him doing research but you didn’t even read the article. But yeah the article is talking about how they are building the two towers and that it’s going to be a risk for planes flying in the area since they are so tall. So it’s not just a picture someone put in the newspaper because it looks nice, it was out there to demonstrate how a plane could accidentally fly into the towers. Also I still don’t think it predicts 9/11 though
You're willing to do more videos on this? I appreiciate your sacrifice for the betterment of humankind
That was a genre, like horror stories at campfire, or creepy pasta it was quite entertaining. Let's not pretend that everyone was so sophisticated back then, and watched his videos with critical professoral eye, disapproval and superior. He was great entertainer. I really do not support videos like this, mocking someone else's work, on satirical tone, making money out of someone that supposedly was toxic to the platform. I hate this kind of hypocrisy. Unsubscribed!
I feel embarrassed to know that when I was younger in 2018, I really believed all this as a 12 year old because he seemed so serious.
I remember under his moonlanding conspiracy theory videos, some people tried to explain that the reason you can’t see stars in the landing photo is because it was day on the moon, and the moon was reflecting the sunlight which overwhelms the lights from the stars.
A bunch of his fans attacked them and said “wow you are so stupid, it’s always night in space”
Yea… that’s the audience he’s cultivating. Pretty sure you were supposed to learn how the sun, earth and moon works together in 1st grade. Unless his audience are all 5 he’s cultivating a really dumb audience.
as another jewish person, thank you for talking about the harmful connections between a lot of conspiracy theories and anti-semitism! it’s so annoying.
What makes Shane's claims even dumber is the examples he gives were released *after* the 1993 bombing of the WTC.
Why does he talk in that stupid breathy serious put on voice? And his face is too close to the camera.
Omg who cares everyone was BEGGING him for that kind of content. Can we stop kicking a dog while it’s down?
this might have been in one of the deleted videos but i very distinctly remember him talking about the suspicious death of a young girl, and him discussing the theories on it. i think it came out in november 2017? basically the girl was found in a freezer at some hotel, and the police investigation was questionable, shane discussed some of the theories to try and i guess raise awareness on the case but looking back the way he did it was really sketchy and some of the theories he discussed were really disrespectful
Sketchy and disrespectful for bringing light to a victim?
@@TheRealUnkn0wn_289 the way he talked about it was the sketchy part
I used to love Shane with all my heart when I was 14, and obsessed over his conspiracy videos and even used to spread these theories around to people at my school as if they were fact. I am now 18 and regret Everything, and I can’t believe I used to believe this manipulative bullsh^t. It really shows how absorbent and impressionable young minds truly are ,and how what the adults in this world tell them, sticks like glue. Be carful what you say to kids.
I don't particularly think you should become like a anti-conspiracy dunking channel, but I'm glad you uploaded this. It's important to highlight the disinformation Shane spread as "just a theory/joke."
Nearing a year ago I went into a crisis thinking that I was in a simulation and the world around me wasnt real. I never really understood where it came from but this video made me realise that this may have contributed to it. I'm doing much better now and fully resent the man for those videos.
I went through a similar thing and I'm glad you're doing better! I am too :)
Thank you for making this. I cannot stand Shane at all because of his bullshit theory videos. Goes way beyond his normal trash. Please keep making these.
Conspiracy theory: Pinely posts Mr TH-camr’s photos on Pinely’s Instagram because they’re identical twins with the same name versed
Dude you had an easy lay up of a transition into your sponsorship by commenting how poor Alan Watt's website looked and if there only was a place one could learn about web site building. Oh wait, there is and that place is Skillshare!
To be fair, he does call them Conspiracy Theories.
Yeah but he has nothing to help back it up
I always thought it’s entertainment and he is not really believing that stuff. It’s a genre and many used to do videos like that
