Speaking of. Do you remember phandom's reaction to DnP coming to Moscow? And DnP themselves feeling the need to go on "social media detox"? I can maybe understand DnP being paranoid.

But I remember seeing posts where russian fans (mainly teenagers at that point) were desperately trying to convince others that we also had lgbtq people and DnP weren't going to get hurt here. Like some people were actually mad they were coming here. Still makes me angry every time I think about it. Because in Moscow it really was fine. I realise that now, that back then it was fine. Phandom's reaction was cruel and uncalled for.

But then DnP were also probably the first ever western youtubers to come here. And even though I didn't go to the show, just the fact of them visiting still makes today's nightmare a bit more bearable and for that I will be forever grateful.

LATAM fans deserve to have something to look back to, it's simply unfair. I think we really should try and pressure DnP into adding more dates or at the very least addressing it. And for the love of god, people, at the very least you can stop being such assholes to others

detox, Dan taking his hoop earring off... it was all very.. strange and intense in a way that people expected something bad to happen, i guess. also, there were phannies who found out where dnp were staying in moscow (it wasn't hard tbh, so i'm not surprised at all), and also that meetup at the red square. and then on top of it all, some idiot brought ussr flag to m&g. ohh, and the venue's photographer took professional photos of the show and posted them before the tour was over. moscow was the only place that did that, if i remember correctly. it was such a huge no-no, lmao.

like, overall, moscow had a lot of questionable stuff going on, so i understand people's scepticism now and understood it back then. nothing really bad happened, but people were wired, and it wasn't based on nothing. it was before anti-lgbt laws became even worse, i think, but it wasn't perfect even back then.

looking at it now, we should have been questioning russia in 2018 as well. god, the world was stupid as fuck. 2008, 2014... right there, in front of our eyes. even i don't have a fucking excuse. ugh, anyway. they came, they took some pics, they fucked off. i'm glad it's over.

i'm sure it's not the answer you hoped for. i remember the concerns, i think i even answered a few of them back then. do i remember people being actually rude to those who went to the show in moscow? honestly, no. i could totally forget, though. those times, and especially that week, were crazy! i was trying to multitask with work, uni and phandom, AND travelling. never a good idea.

you know why it could be double fine in moscow during summer 2018? the World Cup and a lot of tourists. like, hundreds of thousands. even russian gov wouldn't oppress foreigners during the World Cup. not in 2018. when so much money was at stake.

Latam, Asia and, ideally, Africa deserve at least an acknowledgement. because realistically, almost any Latam or Asian country where dnp could actually go to has a bigger dnp audience than russia. like, i'm sorry (i'm not), but it's true, especially right now.

You don't have to post this because it's not necessarily the right time but I wanna chuck my input into the ring on the lack of inclusivity with dnp.

These guys apparently cannot be bothered to hire a captioning service for their videos. They can definitely afford it, I think that is abundantly clear. But they don't appear to do it??? At least not for every video. Imo it really is the absolute bare minimum to caption your content but they apparently don't care enough to do it.

I realise this might not be appropriate to share rn because this discussion is about racism and the exclusion of poc, but I thought it was fair to chuck it into the ring as this is also exclusion, but of a different grouo. Also intersectionality. Fyi that I'm white so you're more than welcome not to elevate my voice rn for obvious reasons but this is another example of them being not great from a disability perspective.

I realise that reading all these asks must take so much emotional energy so thank you so much for dedicating the time and energy to facilitate discussion with the care and empathy that you are.

No no no, anon. This should be raised awareness as well. I will not speak on their behalf, because I don’t know if this issue has been raised to them before. But this space should be inclusive to all kinds of people. Thank you for stopping by and being a part of our voice <33

Auto-message: This ask’s purpose is to acknowledge dnp’s past/present exclusivity, not to cancel them! But to embrace mistakes that they’ve made so that 1. we won’t exclude people in need in this community, and 2. we can normalize bringing up exclusivity so that improvement can happen. Hopefully this will one day help dnp realize that this is a safe space for them to talk about their mistakes, so that this space can become safe for people of all kinds too <3

*If you don’t understand what is happening, scroll through my blog for context. And I’ll be taking time to answer my asks, so don’t think I’m ignoring youuu*

i haven't really been engaging in discourse because i've been sick but i do have a few things to say now that some dust has settled and im not sleeping 16 hours a day.

the phandom is not a radical space. i dont think it ever will be. thats not saying we cant fight for fair treatment and community care within it, but as long as it is orbiting around two privileged white men it will not be a radical space. the only thing radical about this space and the only real tool we have in our toolkit is how we treat each other.

its disgraceful seeing that there are phannies out there throwing out racial slurs in inboxes. its disgraceful seeing us fracture over what is honestly kindergarten shit.

like rudy said, we need to remember that dan and phil are just some white guys from england. and honestly their biggest crime probably is not knowing many if any poc. theyre privileged people who unfortunately as time goes on and their wealth increases and they stabilize, they will share less and less in common with their fans. theyre going to become more unreachable than they currently are no matter how down-to-earth they remain.

so forget dan and phil. sure, theyve done shitty things in the past and will continue to do so. but insofar as we are fans of them, no matter how much they tell us that they listen to us and care for us, we will never have their ear to change in the ways that we want them to. and honestly? years after the fact apologies done out of fear of a hit to their reputation is not an effective means of repairing anything. it is a bandaid over a deeper problem we need to admit we do not have the means or the leverage to fix (at least while maintaining a space recognizable to us). not to say we can and should not hold dan and phil accountable, but we need to be realistic about what is really important to us. is it celebrities doing and saying the right things or is it us taking it upon ourselves to be better people?

so how are we going to hold people accountable for the things they do in the moment? how are we gonna call people in? how are we going to turn to the people on our dash and at our live shows and treat them? how are we going to log off and show up in our communities?

there is a conversation to be had here about fan culture and how it can/cannot coexist with the idolization of white figures, but that's a different post.

the phandom is not a radical space, but we can be radical people within it. rich white men will always disappoint you, so how can you show up for the people actually accessible to you? and really in the end if it comes down to it, do you have the capability to walk away?

Maha Hussaini  ...  @MahaGaza  Israeli aircrafts bombed a home in my area of refuge in Deir al-Balah central #Gaza a while ago. At least 5 Palestinians, apparently from the same family, were killed.  7:23 AM 7/2/24 From Earth

55s ago (16:15 GMT) Gaza Health Ministry says 25 Palestinians killed in latest 24-hour reporting period Israeli attacks in Gaza have also injured 81 people in the latest 24-hour reporting period, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry.  The ministry added there is still “a number” of Palestinians who are stuck under the rubble and civil defence teams are unable to reach them.
3h ago (13:00 GMT) Israeli army ‘determined’ to continue Gaza war, dismisses NYT report The Israeli forces say in a statement on X that they “will continue to fight Hamas everywhere in the Gaza Strip” and prepare for a war with Lebanon’s Hezbollah armed group in the north.  The army said the Gaza war would continue until all Israeli captives are free, and the residents of northern and southern Israel can return safely to their homes.  The announcement comes hours after a New York Times report, quoting security sources, claimed the army leadership wants a Gaza truce even if it keeps the Palestinian group in power for the time being.  The report also said senior military officers believe that a ceasefire is the “swiftest way” to free the remaining Israeli captives in Gaza.  “At least some tanks in Gaza are not loaded with the full capacity of the shells that they usually carry, as the military tries to conserve its stocks in case a bigger war with Hezbollah does break out, according to two officers,” the report said, with sources adding the army needs to restock ahead of a potential war with Hezbollah in Lebanon.
3h ago (12:30 GMT) Update on people trapped in Gaza City’s Shujayea neighbourhood The UNRWA planning director, Sam Rose, also gave an update on the situation in Gaza City’s Shujayea neighbourhood where civilians are trapped by continuing intense battles between Palestinian fighters and Israeli forces.  He said that those trapped did not follow the previous Israeli evacuation order because they are either too old, sick or unwilling to move because “they had enough and prefer to die where they are rather than face another round of uncertainty”, he said.  “The expectation when it started was that this would be over quite quickly but it’s carrying on – we are now, I believe, in day six,” he added.
 ago (11:30 GMT) Israeli army justifies restoration of electricity supply to Gaza’s desalination plant We have reported earlier that Israeli far-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich criticised the Israeli government’s decision to supply electricity to a sewage and water desalination plant in Gaza.  The Israeli military responded by saying the move was critical for the fighting and prevention of diseases that may threaten Israeli captives and soldiers.  It said the desalination plant would provide drinking water to Deir el-Balah and Khan Younis, where most of the population of Gaza now lives.  The military added that it received permission to restore the electricity supply from the political leadership of Israel.  It also reminded the public that “the eyes of the world and certainly the eyes of the United States were directed to the question of how we will handle the humanitarian and civil issue in preparation for the operation in Rafah”.
5h ago (10:39 GMT) Breaking Gaza death toll increases At least 37,925 people have been killed and 87,141 wounded in Israeli attacks on Gaza since October 7, the enclave’s Health Ministry says.  Of those, 25 Palestinians were killed and 81 wounded in the past 24-hour reporting period, the ministry added.
6h ago (09:45 GMT) Israeli forces arrest 22 in occupied West Bank At least 22 Palestinians have been arrested in areas across the occupied West Bank in the past 24 hours, the Palestinian Prisoners Affairs Authority says.  Israeli raids in the Palestinian territory have become a nearly daily occurrence since the war started last October. More than 9,400 Palestinians have been arrested in the West Bank and occupied East Jerusalem since October 7, according to the prisoners’ watchdog.  Reporting from Ramallah in the West Bank, Al Jazeera’s Nida Ibrahim said the raids have been used “as a way to intimidate Palestinians”, including torture and beating.  “They are blindfolded for hours, even 16 hours in the cold or in the heat, and then they are told ‘We have nothing on you’,” she added.
8h ago (07:45 GMT) Intense Israeli attacks continue across Gaza Here is the latest on the battles across Gaza:  Israeli drones have shot at residents in Gaza City’s Shujayea neighbourhood. The area is also witnessing intense artillery shelling for the sixth consecutive day. In the central Gaza Strip, Israeli warplanes and artillery are targeting the northern areas of the Nuseirat refugee camp. Israel’s air attacks destroyed two houses there, killing two Palestinians, including a child. In southern Gaza’s Khan Younis, Israeli artillery continues to shell the eastern neighbourhoods of the city. At least eight Palestinians were killed in Israel’s air raids targeting several houses sheltering displaced people in the al-Fukhari, Qizan Abu Rashwan and Khuza’a areas. In Rafah, Israel’s warplanes bombed houses in the western neighbourhoods of the city, with artillery shelling continuing to pound most of the eastern and western areas.
