Okay so… On the list of things I didn’t expect to write about today, this one is pretty high up there. But apparently, controversial YouTuber Shane Dawson said he humped and jizzed on his cat.
In a series of tweets released by Dawson earlier today, he acknowledged that on a 2015 episode of his podcast Shane And Friends, he told a story about dry humping and jizzing on his cat. Rather eye-catchingly, the apology thread starts off with “I didn’t fuck my cat”. Okay, cool. Let’s read on.
i didnt fuck my cat. i didnt cum on my cat. i didnt put my dick anywhere near my cat. Ive never done anything weird with my cats. I promised myself i wasnt going to make apology videos after last years thing so im just trying to be as short and honest with this as possible. (1/?)

You can catch the clip in the tweet below, but it’s pretty graphic and not super nice to hear. Also, NSFW so, headphones.

Shane Dawson is known for being shocking and OTT and often offensive in order to get a reaction, so there are plenty of people who are using that as a means to support him, but… look.
He goes on to say that the whole thing was based off a sketch idea he had that was never made. But honestly I’m struggling to find the comedy in it all. Like, what’s funny about that?
that story was fake and was based on a dumb awful sketch idea I had years ago that i never made (THANK GOD) and when the opportunity came up for a funny moment in the podcast I told it as if it was a real story which was DISGUSTING and VERY VERY DUMB (3/?)

my goal with the podcast and with my videos years ago was to tell shocking stories that would make people laugh and scream “OMG NO U DIDNT!!” and think i was “soooo crazy”. its embarrassing and i fucking hate myself for it. (4/?)

theres so many things im so proud of. but all of my offensive jokes, over the top stories, and insensitive jokes are something that still haunt me and something I have to be faced with everyday on the internet. and it never gets easier. (6/?)

Shane Dawson has come under fire for a lot of his old content, and rightfully so. He’s had multiple characters which involved blackface and racist stereotypes. This is his latest in a string of apologies the YouTuber has had to make regarding old content.
