Damien Haas

I just think it’s crazy that Damien implied she tried to make him look bad to her 19k-ish followers, yet he easily has an audience like 10 times larger. He knows how parasocial his fans are, and now a large chunk of them have been sending that poor girl slurs and death threats. But *he’s* the one that had to step away from social media… alright.
You mean Damien messed up AGAIN??? I am so completely shocked.
 
Wait are there other instances of him messing up? I’ll be honest, I stopped paying attention to him outside of being in Smosh videos and coming here to see his shirtless pics lmao
Well, I more so was talking about how in recent years it seems like he keeps putting his foot in his mouth. The queer "controversy" was a big one for me. Plus alot of people (at least on this site) are quite confused to his style changing up every few months. It just feels like noone knows who the real Damien, maybe even not Damien himself.

Maybe he's finding himself, maybe he is just feeling himself, maybe he's just an independent woman who don't need no man. But yeah, only he knows

I mean she literally said she did a "call out post for the zionist in the cast" and that's straight-up Tumblr vocabulary for someone who posts to make as much cancelation noise as possible. imo she knew what she was doing and Damien was caught calling it out albeit tactlessly.

That controversy is entirely your making. It's been discussed here in the past relentlessly but you're dredging it up again in an attempt to make him seem worse.

As for his "style changing every few months" that's just a straight up lie? Like just a literal lie. He's been wearing cybergoth clothes for a few years. Your biggest argument could be that he's dyed his a hair a few times and even that's tenuous.

Regardless of what happened, I’m sure that she and Damien would both like to move on. Though I do just want to say that for somebody that constantly preaches about acceptance and allyship, he at the very least should tell his crazed fans not to send people death threats on his behalf.
 
Its just insane to me. Damien is like...Ally Supreme. He seems to typically go out of his way to be as inclusive and non-offensive as possible. Like he's even teased about this often on Smosh by his castmates/friends.

It just astounds me that someone who makes his life revolve around being extremely I guess "Woke" is the quickest way to explain, is getting all this crap (well on Twitter anyway) Like damn you really have to be the most perfect person to exist and never make a mistake in your life, lest you be shamed. He made a mistake 5 YEARS AGO. Like I went back and saw it and it was the briefest mention of the situation ever. Didn't even make like one side was right kinda thing, just acknowledged its existence. Again, 5 years ago. A whole ass president ago.

And yeah I guess maybe Damien wasn't super mature in the situation, but like he had a point. She can't sit there and act like she didn't know what she was doing. She publicly called him out for everyone to see. I just feel bad for him because like out of 100 good things he's done, this one bad thing stands out and he gets shit on for it. She can't act like a victim when she publicly called him out, so he publicly defended himself.

And don't get me twisted, I'm honestly not much of a Damien fan. While I do agree with most of his views, I just never like people who make most of their identity about politics and constantly talk about it. Like Shayne, Courtney, Arasha, Amanda, Tommy, Spencer etc most likely have very similar progressive views as Damien, but they don't make it their whole thing, well maybe Courtney to an extent but thats usually just Pro Gay sweaters. I just think Damien is hot and would totally smash. But yeah while I don't personally like him too much, this BS he's getting is just flabbergasting.
 
Honestly all that stuff doesn't bother me, it was the "straight not straight" whole thing for me, I'm not in high school anymore that stuff ain't it.
 
After reading through everything, I agree that while the joke wasn't necessarily the problem, his reaction on twitter was wrong. Expecting the tweets to be deleted after he "apologized". And after, basically being like "I need a social media break, my fans will deal with you".

I would also try taking a break if I was getting hate because of a JOKE that happened 5 YEARS AGO. Like the wording was giving "trying to cancel" instead of actually opening a discussion and asking about a lame joke that happened so long ago.

I understand that he could maybe have handled it better but I don't see why it's unfair to ask to delete a tweet after apologizing, especially if it affects someone livehood.

Again I don't really care about Damien, I think he has let himself go a lot and also don't like the whole wholesome persona he has been shoehorned into (I don't even know why I'm getting notificacions from this thread) but I just think people are either trolling or just trying to cancel him because they don't have anything better to do in their lives.

If I was Damien, and I was truly sorry/apologetic, I would want the tweets to remain up so that people would know the topic was already addressed and dealed with. I know the hate can get exhausting after a while though.
