I think sometimes the youtuber gets their “redemption arc” because the audience doesn’t really think that what they did was bad, or at least That Bad. They call it a redemption arc, but they treat it more like a Victory Over Cancel Culture. They just don’t want to get Canceled (tm) too
-
people tend to view celebrities and influencers as characters, not people, and a redemption arc is much easier to expect and want from a character than it is a person.
-
Can we just stop calling them documentaries? They are glorified vlogs. I sae the entire JS series, and not ever once did i think it was anything other than a vlog
-
I think we forgive youtubers to preserve our own emotions as well. We want to believe that we invested our time and emotions into good people and forgiving them in a way let’s us forgive ourselves for liking someone who did something so bad.
-
I’ve been having my own redemption arc. I’m two years sober, just paid off my warrant, and I got promoted to assistant manager at work. I’m also working on being a better mother.
-
I love that transition of angry Hannah back to the calm Hannah from the scene she put in
-
I haven’t checked in on tana in forever but hearing she’s starting a talent agency is not surprising. She always finds a way to get her bag
-
This is a repeat of the 2000's Whenever a celebrity got into controversy TLC or MTV would give them a reality show to "show a new side of them" Then it bombs, everyone forgets the controversy and moves onto the next thing
-
Gabbie was almost handed a redemption arc after videos of the Vlog Squad mocking her appearance came out and people were sympathetic towards her, but she ruined the opportunity to "take advantage" of that sympathy and gain trust back with her recent antics.
-
Alternative: take a sip of water every time Hannah says “redemption” bc we deserved to be hydrated and feeling good! 💕
-
The thing with Shane Dawson and his "documentaries" that kills me is that all of Shane's b/s was out in the wild. Black people had been calling out Shane FOR YEARS for the violent anti-Blackness he displayed in his earlier videos, but it was only after he and Skeletor's gay cousin tried to frame James Charles that he had to answer for that shit.
-
If their redemption arc is not as good as Zukos I don't want it 🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️
-
i was so suspicious when after ONE video, everyone was back to being a fan of jeff. like, ONE video. he's definitely a victim, but he was also an active participant in a lot of gross stuff.
-
The only acceptable redemption arc is Hannah getting her candle of the day out at the start after she used to always forget lmao
-
Okay, I love this video. The sentiment... I AM HERE FOR IT. But also, can you not pretend like your hair doesn't look INCREDIBLE? Okay thanks. You're my fav. Bye.
-
“The helpless leasing the clueless” I ALMOST SPAT OUT THE WATER I WAS DRINKING
-
omg when you said "you don't know me, this is a parasocial relationship" it was a very weird snapping back to reality, which is absolutely the point. it felt very odd to be addressed personally.
-
the only part of Shane's Tanacon "documentary" i can remember is Tana pretending to cry on the couch while Shane tried not to laugh...
-
Manny MUA has done a great job of salvaging his career after a scandal.
-
Every time hannah says "i could make a whole video on that" im like, i would like to see it
