Male Comedy YoutubersAmerican Comedy YouTubersTired of making spoofs of music albums, he made his own song video, ‘SUPERLUV!’ in 2012 which reached the 28th spot in US iTunes Pop Chart and held a top position of 16 in the UK Indie charts and since then has continued to be popular.Beyond FameShane Dawson’s comedy has not always been well received. He is perceived by most as a racist for his comments about the ABC wanting to represent America more completely by including the Hispanics. Shane tweeted “first blackish, now ABC is “fresh off the boat”, which had tweeters calling him a white-centric American whose view of his nation does not include other races. He defended himself saying that ABC was making a very desperate attempt which made it look in bad taste.Dawson had also previously made videos and comedies of ‘blackfaces’ and according to fellow YouTuber Franchesca Ramsey, Dawson had made comedies in which ‘blackfaces’ were ‘portrayed as stupid, aggressive and over-sexual to influence how people perceived all black people’. Dawson removed his controversial videos and apologized for his obnoxious and insolent manner.Dawson made a spoof of Taylor Swift’s single ‘Blank Space’ which had her record label citing copyright issues and asked Shane to remove it. Dawson retaliated that since it’s a parody, it was no infringement at all. The record label removed it but Shane persisted and the video was put back on YouTube after a long wait.Family & Personal Life
