Why YouTube Star Shane Dawson Now Says He's 'So Grateful' After Being 'Canceled' for Past Actions
The vlogger posted his first YouTube video in more than a year on Thursday, Oct. 7.
He explained that prior to the controversy, he'd already felt he had "learned a lot" and grown past the person in the controversial clips. "I think part of me was upset because I was like, I made so much growth and now I'm being canceled over things from the past," Dawson reflected, "and that's not me anymore."However, the controversy helped him realize he "can't focus on what other people think of me.
Dawson also acknowledged that some of his jokes were not appropriate, saying, "Yeah, there was bad stuff in those videos, but like the good stuff connected with people and I can't just throw that away, that's weird.". "I'm not going to run from my past, but I'm also not going to stay in it," he shared. "I feel like it would be unhealthy for me to just constantly think about it.
