How shane dawson basically ruined Avril Lavigne's reputation, a thread:

First off Hello Kitty,

For some reason a lot of non asains like to get offended by the Hello Kitty song and video calling it racist. This is largely due to Shane's idiotic parody which couldn't be more racist

Do mind that only americans were offended by the mv when the video was almost entirely Japanese Directed

Pls you guys know damn well if this was released by a main pop girl you guys would eat it up

But yes, Shane's parody is largely the reason Avril got called racist and go so much backlash when her Japanese fans loved it. Keep in mind she's huge there and the single was a gift to her Japanese fans

Now moving on perhaps the most detrimental thing he's done, resurrecting that theory...

In 2017, Shane uploaded a video talking about the theory...

For starters, this theory is 100% false and makes no sense https://twitter.com/SoContgs/status/1281970209306415107?s=19

Now I'll give him credit, he didn't make the theory & did put a disclaimer and probably didn't anticipate the theory to blow the way it did but still

Ever since that video there have been countless comments talking about it and Avril and her fans alike never hear the end of it
