Sup you Beautiful bastards, hope having a fantastic Monday
Welcome back to the philip defranco show and let's just jump into and the first thing we're to talk about today is a little bit
Of a it's a smorgasbord of people under fire redemption story cancel cultures story
First of which you actually may have seen this morning JK Rowling has come under fire
Reportedly in a feature that's included on the DVD and blu-ray of fantastic beasts the crimes of Grindelwald
She says speaking of Dumbledore and Grindelwald their relationship was incredibly intense
It was passionate and it was a love relationship
but as happens in any
relationship gay or straight or whatever label we want to put on it one never knows really what the other person is feeling and you
Can't know you can believe you know, reportedly saying so I'm less interested in the sexual side
I believe there is a sexual dimension to this
Relationship and I am in the sense of the emotions
They felt for each other which ultimately is the most fascinating thing about all human relationships
And the reason you have JK Rowling getting a ton of backlash is you have a lot of people saying that this is false
Elijah right in the books and the movie certain characters
they don't they don't have their sexuality explored or explained in any way, but then you know
She kind of after the fact in interviews or on Twitter is like oh hey, by the way
this was a this-- that's why we saw viral tweets like JK Rowling confirmed some characters in her books and movies are gay everywhere except
in the books or the movie JK Rowling
Reappearing every two months to say something literally no one asked about is me adding more random details to my essay to up my word
Count the thing that bothers me most about Rowling going into the quote intense sexual relationship of Dumbledore and Grindelwald. Is that after being
Criticized for glossing over queer characters except in interviews your reduced calls for real queer wrap to quote
Give us kinky sex detail like way to miss the point undermine everything you could have done to rectify the mistake of leaving
Dumbledore's orientation out of Canon this further reduces queer relationships and queer characters just to sex in media commentary
Which is the last thing we need it and there are a lot more
some even more passionate but you get the idea personally my takeaway from this story is I'm actually
Inspired JK Rowling has inspired me to let you know that the chimpanzee and my old intro BEC chimpanzee was bisexual
I know I know thank Mike
Thank you. I am a hero. Thank you so much. What's that? Inspirational Ally? Oh my god, please
Please please feel free to subscribe to this channel to reward me for being just so amazed
Oh my god, something else an award now. It's beautiful bastard, which you got a beautiful bastard calm
Allied you get literally nothing off because that code is as hollow as this Center and scene
Okay, as far as my takeaway
I mean technically JK Rowling made everything so she can kind of just canonize anything but it does feel hollow if you're doing it retroactively
Li and it's not something that you actually explored in the book that said understand I'm saying I'm from a point of I've never read
The books I'm a normal only ever watch the movies
So yeah, there was that then we had celebrity director James Gunn in the news before the weekend James Gunn
Of course the director of guardians of the galaxy Volume one and two as you might remember he famously was fired by Walt Disney
Studios after tweets from 2008 to 2012
Resurfaced there was it seemed like there was this whole campaign?
But there was this public outrage no sweets in questions seem like these for the lack of a better term these kind of edge Lorde
Shot chop jokes about rape and pedophilia gun apologized, isn't he still fired him?
There were a lot of fans calling for him to be reinstated you had actors from the movie
Standing by him honestly some more or at least more transparently than others. Although there really wasn't any movement
It seemed that Walt Disney Studios was standing by this decision James Gunn ends up getting picked up by
DC to do the new Suicide Squad side notice our reports today saying that it is a total reboot
But the point of this story is that going into this last weekend
it was announced that James Gunn is being reinstated as the director of guardians of the galaxy 3 along with these reports coming out we
Saw James Gunn tweet. I am tremendously grateful to every person out there who has supported me over the past few months
I'm always learning and will continue to work at being the best human being I can be
I deeply appreciate
Disney's decision and I am excited to continue making films that investigate the ties of love that bind us all I have been and continue
To be incredibly humbled by your love and support from the bottom of my heart. Thank you
Love to you all and all of that brings us to the third of our opening trifecta, and that is Shane Dawson
Shane Dawson is of course a massive creator on the YouTube platform has been for over a decade has really blown up over the past
Year, we haven't seen a blow-up like this that have stayed in the digital space
I think ever but with all that said when you have massive success you get this very big spotlight put on you when you come
under greater scrutiny and so yesterday if you didn't see it Shane Dawson was trending and he was trending for a different version of the
Same thing we've talked about before his past you also for transparency sake before moving forward. I've known Shane for a long time
Although I don't want to exaggerate it's not like we're friend friends. We're just friendly with one another we've worked with one another
That's also not a very unique situation
Shane is kind of friends or friendly with everyone, but that said old clip Shane Dawson
resurfaced over the weekend one clip was from a 2013 episode of the Shane & Friends podcast were Shane jokes about pedophilia you might even
remember
This is a clip that
Resurfaced last year turned into this huge controversy for Shane at that time Shane responded with an apology video where he explained that he used
To make these outrageous edgy jokes, and now he's actually ashamed of them
So when he saw that same clip being shared again over the weekend he tweeted for those who missed this a year ago
Here you go
Hey going back to editing now and there he linked back to his old apology and explanation video
But that wasn't the end for Shane because there was also another clip from his podcast that started spreading and this one was from 2015
And he talks about this the story involving a cat
About it, I don't think
Little chicken legs like, you know spread open or whatever
I was like if I just like hump but like honor his tummy like that's not weird like
Whatever and then I humped it I hunted I haven't kept going
No, you get whatever sexual experience no
Ultimately, we saw Shane respond to the spreading of this clip the backlash from this clip in a series of tweets where he said and
No, I didn't think this is how my Monday was gonna start. He wrote. I didn't fuck my cat
I didn't come on my cat. I didn't put my dick anywhere near my cat. I've never done anything weird with my cats
I promised myself. I wasn't going to make apology videos after last year's thing
So I'm just trying to be as short and honest with this as possible. I've apologized many times for all the dumb shit
I've said in videos and podcasts over the years
I've learned my lesson over and over again and I'm more confident now in my ability to be entertaining by just being myself and not
Being so shocking for laughs that story was faked and was based on a dumb awful sketch idea
I had years ago that I never made thank God when the opportunity came up for a funny moment in the podcast
I told it as if it was a real story which was
Disgusting and very very dumb I go with the podcast with my videos years ago was to tell shocking stories
That would make people laugh and scream. Oh my god. No, you didn't and think I was so crazy
It's embarrassing and I fucking hate myself for it
And he goes on to say that he doesn't hate everything in his past
But all of my offensive jokes over the top stories and insensitive jokes
There's something that still haunt me and something I have to be faced with every day on the internet and it never gets easier
So, I'm sorry about what I said about my cat
I'm sorry for what I said about anything or anyone that was offensive and I'm sorry for being someone who thought being super offensive and
Shot and all the time was funny. I'm sorry for my past
But I'm really trying to make it right and I feel like without my past I wouldn't be Who I am today
And I wouldn't be able to grow and spend my energy on things that actually mean something
this has been the best two years of my life and it's because I've been able to drop the act and be myself and I'm
Sorry for not doing it sooner as far as my personal reaction to this
And once again, I'm probably really biased here having known Shane having watched his content for over a decade
I think that it's exactly what he said. It was it was this ridiculous made up fake shock story
I don't think there's any validity to it and I think it's it's once again where we need to look at canceled culture because I
Will say I respect that everyone has their own
Reception to whatever has happened. If I don't get to decide how you receive my past how you receive his past
How how you think about people evolving past that or if they're always that thing?
I do think we need a question cancel culture pile on because if if we're always just saying hey this person's over
Look at this thing from this person's past
That's who they are forever not allowing people to grow past their past allow
someone's we evolve become what they find to be a better version of
Themselves and when we crack down and we cancel them when we say you're done forever
Especially when it's a person saying I hate who I was when you push people away into that corner
You make it more likely that there's gonna double down on the back rate that I understand
It's not your job or responsibility to have to forgive someone but that said that's the story
My person will take away and of course it passed the question off to you
What are your thoughts on this one as well as either of the first two?
I know I just kind of lunched all of these together. Yeah, I'd love know your thoughts
But from that I want to share some stuff I loved today and today and awesome and the first bit of Awesome they may not
Have paid me a million dollars to stream it on launch day. Damn. Do they make an amazing game?
I'm talking about apex legends, which I've said this on Twitter in the past
I have not had this much fun with a multiplayer experience since probably halo 2 or modern warfare 2
But the awesome is that after constant pestering. Apex. Legends is launching the season one battle patch tomorrow at 10:00 a.m
Pacific and I only care to see what goodies they have for lifeline
Then we had Guy Fieri's sneaker shopping got an in a nutshell on consciousness in cinema wins taking on The Incredibles to wait say Frank
Giving us true facts about the bolas spider and the final bit of Awesome is last week
We got the news that Lilly Singh is getting a late night show on TV
I know with our audience are a good number of people that are not a fan of Lilly
What I would say is anytime there is any online?
Creator that all of a sudden you see crossing over into a mainstream sort of thing
It is it's excited are plenty of examples of it not working
There are examples of it working whether it works or it doesn't
I personally find it to be progress for me
as someone that has just been in love with and fascinated by the the MIRR of all these mediums this is gonna be such an
Educational experience if you want to see the full versions of everything
I just shared the secret link of the day really anything at all
Links is always there in the description down below the last thing I want to talk about today
And this is a big tone shift is I really do want to talk about what happened in New Zealand on Friday
You know this past Friday, we didn't have a regular Philip DeFranco show
We had a we had a live stream and and over the weekend
I was thinking of how I would cover this
You know
We already have a policy on this show where we don't show the faces or the names of these mass shooters
These these monsters who very much seem like they want to be in the limelight and when you look at this mass shooting
in New Zealand that feels like every part of this monsters plan was to make this a
viral shoot as a mass shooting that was live streamed with a small community trying to make sure if they
Downloaded and helped spread the video with social media post attached to it a whole manifesto attached to it
even even says a massive youtubers name in hopes that the news media will run with that name and it will spread everywhere and it
Happened shooter wanted to go viral the shooter wanted to divide and get the attention to the point
There's even news today that he plans on representing himself
so ultimately how I decided that I wanted to talk about this story is to talk about
Yes
The horrible impact but also to talk about and highlight the heroes with this store and so as far as what happens you had 50
People killed and 50 others injured after two shootings that took place at two different mosques in Christchurch four people were taken into custody
One of which has now been charged with murder who once again not going to show their face or their name?
The shooter has been identified as a white nationalist who held strong Islamophobic and anti-immigrant beliefs, but instead of talking about him further today
I want to talk about people like Jill Keith Jill Keats is one who's been applauded for pulling her car over to help victims?
Reportedly she was driving down the road when two bullets just missed her car and after stopping for a bit
She saw someone who had been shot near her and began to treat his wounds. I picked up my doors or my driver's door and
got out and the guy in the black Commodore whatever it was come up and said you were right and I said you I've got
a home being shot and and the poor bugger lying on the verge had been shot in the back and
We opened my passengers door and my driver's door and we pulled him round behind and opened up the back as well
give us some protection and
he had a food stay kept me crouched and run all the way back to get it and
He lifted up a chute
and he dressed it and I put the pressure on and then a nice Muslim guy come and give me some help as well because
You have to put quite a bit of pressure on and I was poor old hands were shaking me at heart
I was scared. I'd you know wouldn't be able to do a good job
We also have stories like that of Abdul Aziz
It was in one of the mosques that was targeted during the attacks according to reports when he realized there was a gunman
approaching he grabbed a credit card machine to use as a weapon when the gunman ran to his car to get ammunition as he's reportedly
Threw it at him and then picked up a gun at the shooter and dropped he tried to shoot it, but it was empty
So he threw it and many say that he saved limes by scaring the shooter away. I just caught that gun
and Truong is a window like a arrow and
Blasts his window and he thought of probably I shot him or something and the guns come back and just drive off
And I keep chasing him. There was also a BBC report about a 71 year old man by the name of Dawood, nabi
It's been reported that he threw himself in front of bullets to protect others
and of course
These are just some of the heroes and just some of the stories even as I'm recording this we're seeing reports of more stories
We've always seen many people in New Zealand honoring the victims and supporting their families and survivors
We've seen so many dropping off flowers and cards at the Royal Botanical Garden
Which is somewhat halfway in between the two places that were targeted on Sunday and Wellington over
12,000 people attended a vigil and more vigils are planned around the country
You've also seen people dropping off food to Hagley college
which is being used as community centre for the victims families also on the note of helping if you're watching this you're wondering how you
Can help the people in New Zealand there are several places taking donations
Eiland council of victims support groups made a crowdfunding page and give a little it's also a launch good page
It's taking crowdfunded donations and the funds from both of these will be given to support those affected including the victims families
You know, that's what I'm really going to leave this story for now because yes
I know that there are a lot of other things happening. Here's the Australian senator William Connelly aka egg boy situation
Who's the prime minister of New Zealand talking about even stricter gun laws understand? I'm not criticising people that are covering those things
It's just for me on this show that that information is out there already
I just want to take this moment to think about the victims and the heroes the unnecessary
Loss of life and those in the moment and in general who stand against it also to your everyday people because it starts with everyday
people as well as the news organizations out there that shows not to show his face show his name to show the video that he
To go viral. Thank you
There is a way to talk about this and cover this without inadvertently glorifying and incentivizing others moving forward
Yeah, that's what I'm gonna leave this one
There's a story if you want to help links, of course down below and of course
I'd love to hear any of your thoughts regarding this issue. That's where we're going to end
