Shane Dawson was forced to apologise on twitter for his docuseries on Jake Paul, where in
the second episode, he sits down with a therapist to discuss the possibility of Jake Paul being
a sociopath.
But the video didn’t exactly sit well with a lot of people, and shane had to respond
to the criticism he was getting in a tweet.

What do you guys think of shanes series on jake paul so far?
Let me know in those comments.
So for those who haven’t been following along, In the second episode of shane dawsons
documentary series on jake paul, shane sits down with therapist and Youtuber Kati Morgan,
and they break down the symptoms of a sociopath, and they sort of attempt to figure out whether
or not jake paul is one.
A sociopath, as defined by the diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders,
is someone with antisocial personality disorder.
So you know that little voice inside you that tells you when something you’re doing is
wrong?
Yeah That’s your conscience.
Most people have one.
But around 1 in 25 people do not.
Around 1 in 25 people are sociopaths.
A sociopath is someone with a weak conscience, meaning they might know that something is
wrong, but they do it anyway.
It means they lack empathy.
Sociopaths are manipulative, often really likeable, charismatic people which makes it
really hard to tell if someone is a sociopath, its often the person you least expect.
A psychopath on the other hand, also has antisocial personality disorder, but does not have a
conscience, and they have even less empathy for other people than a sociopath.
A sociopath is not a psychopath, and I think a lot of people are getting the two confused
after watching shane’s documentary series.
And to make matters worse, people are literally taking the talking points from shanes discussion
with the therapist and they are starting to diagnose other people, their friends, and
even youtubers that they have never met in real life.
Guys, Don’t do that.
Unless you are a professional, you shouldn’t diagnose other people or yourself.
So the second episode of shanes docuseries on jake paul has been getting a lot of criticism
from people who say that it was not sympathetic toward people with mental disorders.
The entire talk was pretty dramatic, it had scary music and it sorta sounded like a horror
film.
The therapist, kati morgan, even seemed a bit judgemental at times toward people with
mental disorders.
Jesse Saint John said on twitter.
Ok I stan shanedawson but this new series creates a dangerous dynamic of unqualified
people wrongly diagnosing mental disorders and dehumanizing and stigmatizing people with
mental disorders.
Take this as entertainment and nothing more.
Tweet is in the comnents folder.
While going through every symptom, different youtubers that display personality traits
similar to a sociopath were cut in to the video, as if sort of prompting the viewers
to think, ok wow this person must be a sociopath because they acted this way or did something
sociopathic.
Shane did say in a disclaimer that he was quote 100 percent not insinuating that any
of the people shown were sociopaths, but his message didn’t seem to get through to his
audience.
So shane was forced to apologise in a long snapchat video.
He said ‘ Tessa show part of the video, 4:40 – 4:46 the link its on the board.
But in his apology video shane also makes the point that its impossible for sociopaths
to be offended, sociopaths, people with antisocial personality disorder don’t have empathy
and don’t care.
so if a sociopath claims to be offended about his video, that means they aren’t a sociopath,
and they don’t have a reason to be offended in the first place.
So shane is an empath, it’s the opposite of a sociopath.
Empaths feel a lot, often too much, and they bring on other people’s problems as their
own.
Shane does take responsibility for his mistakes and that’s what he’s trying to do, which
is why he refilmed part 3 4 and 5 of his series in order to address the concerns of part 2.
I feel for shane.
The series on jake paul was bound to be controversial, it was controversial before it was even uploaded.
But on the other hand, jake paul fans are upset over one reason, shane dawson fans are
upset for another, its gonna be impossible to please everyone.
As it stands right now, people haven’t really talked about what a sociopath really is on
youtube, but its not uncommon for someone to call someone a sociopath without actually
knowing what it means.
Its important that you don’t jump the gun on that.
Anyways guys, that’s all I have for you on that, I have a feeling we will be chatting
a lot about this topic in the coming days so I hope you find it interesting, but for
now its time to do some comment repies.
