anyways yeah Tana Mongeau just did an interview with paper magazine and it
really got me thinking all right so let me catch you up to speed let's talk
about what's going on TanaCon I'm sure a lot of you know but let's recap it so
Tana Mongeau she used to attend VidCon and she wasn't treated with the respect she
felt she deserved right and a lot of other creators felt the same way but
Tana mojo made a video saying F VidCon I kind of set this thing in motion and
just talked about how she wasn't going to VidCon in 2018 and how they screwed
her over and this got a bunch of people riled up a bunch of other creators
started making videos saying how they've been screwed over by VidCon and the seed
got planted in tannaz head that she should start her own convention and call
it TanaCon right and this is gonna be just this amazing event with all these
creators who felt like they were controversial we didn't get the respect
and attention they deserved from VidCon so she was gonna throw Tanic on it she
paired up with this dude named Michael Wiese who was a young CEO of
organisation that was you know putting on events and
things like that called good times right so they end up doing this event and it
failed miserably all right like thousands of people showed up a lot of
them from California but there are also many people who showed up from different
parts of the world and yeah they they over booked the venue just a lot of
things went very bad a lot of people were stuck outside in the Sun everything
like that and yeah basically they had to cancel the whole event and some people
got refunds a lot of people got refunds but there was a lot of people who were
still kind of left to the wayside who spent money on travel and everything
like that a lot of parents were really upset - well anyways after that Michael
Weiss made a little short documentary of the whole event from his point of view
and everything and Shane Dawson did his series prior to that and yeah it was a
bunch of finger-pointing and blamed but anyways paper magazine just sat down
with tanah mojo to discuss what's it been like a year later and just so you
know like if you want I'm linking the article down below but trust me there's
there's nothing new there's nothing new about Tana Khan in that article there's
some interesting things but nothing new if you watch the Shane Dawson series if
you've watched the Michael Weiss talk you're gonna read that came out like you
did not miss anything alright so in the article Tana mojo
still too says that she takes full responsibility which is kind of if you
like whenever we're saying that we take responsibility for something but then
still shuck some blame somewhere else like we're not taking full
responsibility and when you put your name on something like panic on like it
is full responsibility right before sitting down to record this video I was
actually thinking about the parallels between like Tana mojo and tannic on and
then jacqueline hill and what happened with her lipstick and how she was
putting the blame on the lab it's like when you put your name on something like
you must take 1000% ownership of it all right but anyways there were a few
interesting things in this article though because something that I'm always
thinking about like I mentioned I'm a recovering drug addict and alcoholic and
my question is is like do people change can people change because I'm a huge
advocate that people can change and I watching you know news about ten emoji
oh I don't like subscribe to her channel watch like all of her stuff well
obviously like I know everything that's gone on with her and I'm sitting here
and I'm watching it like I'm asked myself like has Tana mojo changed
because I think that everybody can change but the question is do they put
the work in do they put the effort in so like I've looked back at like tannaz
past and she's done a lot of things aside from Tana con like I made a video
a long time ago about how she was driving while high and apparently she
didn't even have a license but she was high she ended up wrecking the car there
was the video of her filming a body in a bathroom of somebody who overdosed and
everything and a lot of people were like no that was that was Logan Poe
well Tanimoto did the same thing but anyway is she she is a very young woman
and she she seems to be growing so one part of this article was when she talks
about like her story time and how she kind of grew her channel and she shares
her stories because she lives as crazy life and she says something I'll put it
up on the screen right here but she said something along the lines of like I
attract the craziest stuff right and here's the thing for anybody out there
cuz I used to be the same way I used to be the same way I was why do the
craziest things always happened to me I'm just trying to have a normal life
and do my normal things but the reality was I was getting into a lot of crazy
situations I was hanging out with a lot of crazy people I was doing a lot of
crazy things and when you do those things statistically it increases your
chances of crazy things to happen right like a lot of us want to sit there and
just be like I don't know things just magically happen to me
right but when we see what we're doing the choices we make
you know the behaviors that we have it pulls that type of stuff into happening
now something somebody brought up the other day was like Tana mojo has learned
a little bit throughout this process because she's not really doing the story
times like she used to and that's what kind of grew her audience but something
that was pointed out in content cop is that Tana mojo does have a flaw where
she kind of blows up and exaggerated stories
might even call it lying and things like that and lately she's been just filming
more of her like actual life and that makes me wonder if she's grown a bit too
because like I don't know if you can relate to this maybe let me know down in
the comments if you can but I know I can like back in the day like I used to lie
about everything for no reason for no good reason some of it though was to try
to impress people and I would inflate stories and I would you know make things
crazier than they were and it was because I was insecure and what I wonder
what Tana mojo is if she's growing as a young woman and she's starting to
understand that people actually like her or enjoy being around her without her
having the craziest stories and things like that like she's friends with Shane
Dawson obviously and Shane Dawson has had a lot of controversy from his
podcast where he kind of like made this kind of like shock humour and I made up
these stories and everything like that to get lost and he's talked about many
times how he's not that old Shane Dawson anymore and he's more comfortable with
who he is and I wonder if that's happening with Tana mojo as well now
something else that I found interesting in this article was they asked her about
her little Sam story right and she talked about how she shared that story
and one thing was that she did take some responsibility like what did I expect
but she said something along the lines of like what did I expect
dating a SoundCloud robber I'm like yes yes because like that's something that
all of us need to learn from right like we we have a type right we have a type a
certain guy or a certain girl whoever it is and then we're surprised when certain
things happen like my type used to be crazy women right and then I was
absolutely blown away when crazy stuff would happen so it is awesome that 10
about Jo was like yeah what do I expect anyways she talked about how she got a
lot of feedback from her audience and a lot of people said they can relate to
that so that got me thinking a little bit more because one of my main issues
with Tana mojo for a long time was she has such a young audience right so by
the way if you watched any mojo let me know how old you are down in the
comments or if you're a parent let me know if your kids watch Tana mojo
because it was just I think about so those of you who don't
know I'm the father of a ten year old boy and yeah like I think it is up to us
as parents to take the responsibility of knowing who our children are watching on
YouTube or TV or whatever it is right and I ask myself like you know is Tana
moto a good or a bad influence on kids right and I'll always say that parents
need to take the full accountability for that like would I let my son watched
Anna mojo hmm yes and no the the thing that's tricky with people like Tana mojo
and even sometimes Shane Dawson because my son loves watching like old Shane
Dawson videos but he recently got into like Shane's old conspiracy videos is
that you never know what you're gonna get like sometimes like a video might be
totally like PG or pg-13 right I think next thing you know like when they were
doing their Chili's mukbang they were talking about buffa a lot right you
never know what you're gonna get but like now Tana mojo for the most part I
haven't seen her talking about the abuse of like prescription medications like
she used to talk a lot about like adderall and xanax and things like that
and now like every other five minutes she's talking about getting high smoking
weed right and I sit there I'm like is this a terrible influence cuz even
though I'm a recovering drug addict I have no problems against weed right I
don't smoke weed because it always led me back to like sniffing pills but I
don't think it's bad for anybody else smoke weed hell it's a lot safer than
alcohol right so I look at that I'm like huh like I don't think Tana is as bad as
she used to be and if you are more of a Tanabata fan than I am and you know some
crazy stuff she's doing that I don't know let me know down in the comments
below but as somebody who makes videos to try to get the audience to learn from
the people that were watching like it feels like she is growing and she is
maturing like you know I wouldn't say she is like the role model of YouTube
right but if you watch some of these behaviors in their ashes like we always
have to ask yourself like are they changing are they growing because too
many of us hold onto resentments against people we believe that they can't change
or they'll never change but it's a process like growing takes a long time
notice these kind of subtle things and I was reading this article like huh hey
Tana has changed just a little bit but her new MTV shows coming out of stuff
like that and only time will tell and she's gonna be at VidCon this year by
the way if you're going to VidCon VidCon to come say hi to me alright but let me
know your thoughts in the comments down below like a year later do you think
Tana mojo has grown has changed or has you grown or changed as a person do you
think that's important to give people the opportunity to grow and change let's
have a discussion down in the comments below alright anyways that's all I got
