Shane Dawson's 8 Part Series About Jake Paul Deserves A Chance

Just because you don't like Jake Paul, don't automatically assume what it is going to be about

So, if you have been living under a rock for the past ten years, let me fill you in. Shane Dawson is one of YouTube's Biggest, and oldest content creators. He has been a YouTube presence since around 2008, and a good majority of people my age grew up watching his many earlier videos. He's well known for his many different "characters", his Vlogs, and his music.

Lately, he's been doing these series where he tries to get behind or really understand some of YouTube's most controversial creators. He's done a series about Jeffrey Star who is one of YouTube's most well-known beauty gurus and one about the most failed attempt at getting back at Vidcon, Tanacon. Both series explore what really went on or what is going on behind the scenes of the videos, and news reports. So, Shane has become more of a journalist/detective type channel over the years.

I personally have always loved Shane's Content, and I was a bit reluctant when he came out saying that his next eight-part series was going to be about one of the most talked about YouTubers who most ten-year old's idolize, Jake Paul.

He has had a ton of backlash where people are saying that they refuse to watch the series because of Jake being in it, and at the beginning of the video Shane shows a clip of a voicemail Jake left him basically saying that it was going to get rough because of how many people genuinely dislike him (Jake). I myself am no Jake Paul fan, but I am excited to see how Shane gets his point across and how this series is really going to end.

I have been waiting to watch the first part for what feels like forever and when I watched it, it ended up making me want more. The interview Shane has with a YouTuber who goes by the YouTube handle of iNabber, goes into some basic questions that Shane really wants to get some answers on, and just get the "why" out of why Jake does what he does. Shane ends up even asking himself if Jake is doing the whole thing just for views. So, unlike the other series, Shane isn't going in this trying to give Jake the benefit of the doubt.

Granted Jake wouldn't be okay with this series if he didn't want this to air, so at least both parties are understanding of each other, but it still isn't going to be painting Jake Paul as a saint like everyone thinks Shane will do. It's obvious by the first episode that Shane is genuinely curious and even nervous to get to do this whole series.

Also, you can tell by the way the trailer and first episode really speak for themselves, and a big portion of it is because his editor and cameraman, Andrew, is super good at editing everything together to make things work. Regardless, Shane is going to be bringing a masterpiece of a series and it will be what he refers to as a "Roller-coaster". So, I guess let's buckle up, sit back and enjoy.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
