Smosh Detectives as drawn by me. I recently got an iPad with procreate which means about a million pieces of fanart are now being drawn.
taking smosh reddit stories so seriously and being so mad about cast’s takes is really stupid. they are reacting based on the small piece of info they are given, they can’t really see the full picture and obviously they don’t know these people personally. they can only interpret a situation in their own way and speak theoretically or from their own experience.
also, guests don’t have the post itself in front of their eyes so they’re only relying on hearing it and this way of receiving information is hard for some people. thus, some context might (and does) get lost. they don’t have time to reread it, fully digest and form a solid opinion (about a story that could easily be a lie). but they still try. they still find ways to approach the situation from different perspectives and to see both sides.
keep in mind, we’re talking about entertainers, not counsellors. they are ordinary people with their own opinions which can (and maybe should) contradict with yours. they can’t take into account everyone’s feelings, povs, struggles etc. so they probably don’t mean any harm, just sometimes possibly could’ve known better. i think we have other and more important things to call smosh out for.
I think people's issues with Smosh Reddit Stories would be solved if they filmed it in a different way.
On most reddit videos, there is at least one story that there is a bad take to. And the comments always get on it and sometimes are put off of the person the take came from. (Personally, I'll usually disagree and have a rant in my head and then just move on). It has been pointed out though that these are their first impressions, and they are often filming reddit stories at the end of a shoot week or like first thing in the morning.
If that is truly the cause of the bad takes when they happen, then a different way of filling could theoretically fix it. Since we probably still want their first reactions, there could be a start point that is just them being read the stories. Then their takes could be filmed at a later time, either later in that day or later in the shoot week, thus giving them time to process and think instead of saying absolute first thoughts. This would also probably reduce the amount that they miss key details.
Idk it would probably be a lot harder to do this way, but it was fun to think about.
подруга, ну ты раскидала по фактам эту абвгдейку. и тэг хорош, беру на заметку 😭
Sex is why women are opressed
Gender is how
Oh I am about to eat up this Earn & Jamie pairing
so true. even in the recent games video he said posting colourful socks is for cringe middle aged white women or something. like… what? even this small remark gave me an ick, so don’t get me started on other stuff he says. also, smosh men actually love putting “white” in front of “women” just to get away with classic misogyny. i feel bad for angela.
Strangely, one member of the cast that truly stands out to me for their routine misogyny is Chanse. It may be that I'm queer, and I'm used to queer spaces where gay men expect to get away with it, so I could be projecting. But, it can be so offputting at times, because it doesn't even feel like a bit. It's just instinctive and sometimes spiteful. The more Smosh I watch, the more Angela's 'misandrist' outbursts feel like a cope.

hello smosh nation. welcome to love is blind gay
decided to color up my silly sketches…enjoy
men should be banned from using band names that imply there are women in the band and then having no (or only like. one) women. like. scissor sisters. queen. machine girl. black veil brides. sisters of mercy. all your sisters. women. queens of the stone age. she wants revenge. alice in chains. actually kind of crazy how many there are considering it's rare for women to do the inverse. like what is it with that. so annoying when i think i found a cool band with women in it and it's jsut another bunch of dudes.
and when they play women it’s almost always some stereotypical and misogynistic shit. also, you can disagree with me, but tommy building his yt channel around ‘serving cunt’ is disgusting and stupid. gays will say this as a compliment (i don’t see it as one btw) and in the same breath use c-word as an insult exclusively towards women. they’re too comfortable with misogynistic language and behaviour, because for some reason women let them get away with it. we have been their biggest allies (even hetero women) since day one and that’s how they treat us? have some fucking respect.
Gotta agree that Chanse’s misogyny really rubs me the wrong way and it’s extra disappointing that nobody seems to call him out on it. ATP I don’t watch any Reddit stories with him because I know he’ll get on my nerves but even in other videos a lot of his humor seems rooted in attacking women too. Tommy is also very guilty of this especially lately, so many of his bits r just ruthlessly attacking women in a simply nasty way. As a lesbian I’m sick of gay men getting a pass to be straight up vitriolic towards women, it’s not like the humor is satirical in a way that subverts misogyny rather it attacks women the same way any other sexist would.
