Shane Dawson created a weird sexual tension between himself and his VERY young female audience. This is why asking him for a kiss ever came to mind for me, because he had opened the door for that kind of thinking and behavior. (1/4)
Not only did he make me think that asking him for a kiss was okay, he agreed to it when he absolutely knew it was not okay. The first time I met him at Vidcon 2011, I sobbed as I told him how much he meant to me and gave him sole credit for saving my life. (2/4)
October of that same year, after having recorded the kiss at another meet and greet, he asked me to tweet him the video of it, as he wanted to put it in one of his own videos. I did try, and he either never got it or he realized how bad it was and never posted it. (3/4)
I was in love with him as much as a suicidal 12 year old could be, and he took advantage of me and my loyalty as a fan for the sake of being a predatory, online creep, convincing a lot of people that this was just “dark humor.” (4/4)
I also see a lot of people saying my dad was filming, which is untrue. My dad was not present at all. My mom attended the movie premiere with me, and then sat on the side as I waited in line bc of a physical disability that makes it hard for her to stand long.
Tony Valenzuela of the Youtube channel BlackBoxTV was filming and taking photos for fans that night.
TO CLARIFY: The kiss did NOT occur at Vidcon 2011. There is a video of me "proposing" to Shane at Vidcon that year, but the kiss happened in NYC at a film premiere for "Archie& #39;s Final Project."
Shane heavily promoted the film at the time, and that& #39;s why he was there for a meet and greet.
