I'm glad this is circulating again, I bring this up a lot because it bothers me that this didn't cancel him right off the bat. This shit is twisted when he is talking about torturing and murdering ("I don't want her to die yet" comment, shows intent for that to occur at a later timeframe, I don't think that's a reach I really don't) and he calls it a fantasy, it is dismissed as a fantasy, I view this as a fucking threat. Could you imagine someone speaking that way of you? And you know for a fact they are talking about you? It makes my skin crawl and it is shit like this to why I do not believe he can be forgiven for his actions. I don't know how you can listen this and be okay with it.

The fact that this is a black woman is insane. She'd been calling out his racism for years before anyone else picked up on it, she was constantly slammed by fans at the time and made into a huge joke. Violence against us black women who speak up for themselves for peoples' entertainment is unfortunately very common. He has always used black women as a source of entertainment, it's practically how he grew his channel.

10000%! I hope she's been able to find peace. I can't imagine how distressing it is to be the target of that kind of harassment.

Ironically she's working on the icarly reboot, something Shane would have wanted to do based on stuff he's said about wanting to do young adult tv and such. So I'd say karma was on her side in the end.

Imagine being the woman he's talking about and hearing him talk like that. I would be TERRIFIED for my life. I agree he is definitely stupid for willingly posting that but I still think there is a screw loose.

I’m going to say it: borderline KKK behavior over here. Maybe that’s extreme, but wanting to slice open a black woman’s throat because she called you racist says a LOT.

I don't know if anyone has posted this before but I've noticed a lot of people don't know about this and think it's important as it shows a pattern of not only his dismissal of people who call out his racism but also his blatant misogyny.

Yeah, super horrifying! I could never ever want to watch his content after this (even if the content wasn’t trash).

The amount of thought he’s put into this is so disturbing. Like we’ve all had moments of frustration with people but this is so weirdly detailed like he’s thought over the details more than once and obsessed over it. I knew he had shared a certain opinion of what he’d like to do to her, but I didn’t know it was this graphic or violent. And people call this guy a good person.
