as a person of color myself, my heart hurts especially for the people of color that will never feel safe in the watcher fandom again.

for any poc that need to hear this: i fucking LOVE YOU. i’m sorry you were made to feel like you were less or worse than. you are NOT.

#watcher #watcher entertainment #ryan bergara #shane madej #steven lim #we are watcher #i’ve been silent just to not overwhelm people with my thoughts #but i hope some of you guys think about the very real people and communities you have made feel unsafe through your racial hatred! #i have already delt with enough racially charged comments in my lifetime #and to hear the fandom that i love think shane is pure and kind JUST cause he’s white? #like wtf guys…

On Steven Lim, Making Watcher

"Every day I thank God for Steven Lim" - Shane Madej, 2024

#watcher #watcher entertainment #steven lim #ryan bergara #shane madej

“That was a good apology, I’m glad they made changes” and “I’ve lost a lot of trust in them and that will be hard to repair” are statements that can coexist, and are both valid!

so the only mention of any of The Drama was when they were talking about going to the warren museum, and how they were told not to touch annabelle’s glass case. they were warned someone who did tap it later died in a car accident. so shane said he did fully tap on it but that got cut out of the final episode so people wouldn’t be encouraged to copy him lol

anyway he said he was like, ‘how long after doing it did they die?’ and joked that it was like six years. ryan was poking fun at him saying like oh so how long do you have left and shane pretended to think about it and said, ‘you know, i have a feeling it was exactly six years ago on friday’ and that was literally the only mention of the whole thing lmao

#i think it flew under the radar but yeah #watcher #watcher entertainment #shane madej #ryan bergara #ghost files #��

Ghost Files Live Update:

The first ever Live Too Many Spirits was great, the audience chanted for Ryan to chug his beer…he managed a sip😂

The tried the Estes method live on stage and the ghost was definitely English, he said thank you when Ryan called him a p*ick

We saw a sneak peek of new season where they have given Ryan and Shane heart monitors which was really cool to see

There was some pretty good evidence in the new episode too, but everyone was laughing too much to tell!

The Q&A was really good but no one brought up the stream app and controversy

Ryan and Shane seemed really nervous at first but I think once they saw the vibe of the audience was good they relaxed

The audience called out a lot which was hilarious, I don’t think they were expecting such an active audience

Overall, it was a great show! And they played Bring Me to Life as the outro song!

As today is the first day of the Ghost Files Live UK Tour, this is a friendly reminder to act accordingly at the event:

Do NOT boo them.

Do NOT throwing things at the guys.

Do NOT ask/make ridiculous and uncalled for statements during the q&a portion.

And in general:

Do NOT ruin the fun for others at the show and for the future.

We all understand why people are upset, and feelings are valid after everything that happened. But please remember that the boys are people too. They are human and make mistakes AND have feelings.

Anywho, to all that are going this week I hope you have a fun time and enjoy the show!!

We need to talk about the Watcher "fans".

These are the top comments on Shane’s IG post. Just look at the number of likes.

“Steven Lim is a greedy, manipulative evil CEO that twists his white co-founder's hands and forces the said co-founder into his will!!!” – this narrative is being prevalent in this fandom since April 19. People harassed him all across social media on every platform. People wrote nasty comments not only to his social media accounts but also to his wife and friends.

People made a Change.org hilariously dumb petitions to have him leave the CEO post.

People gleefully demonize and tear down his reputation. Twist his words out of context in to something vile. Weaponize the years old inside jokes his friends made on camera.

“This is not racism!!!” they say. “These are just the facts!!!”

No they aren’t. And here’s why:

because this

is the same as this:

Covert racism in language, or coded racism, is the deployment of common stereotypes or tropes to elucidate a racially charged idea. Rather than expressly perpetuating racist tropes, covert linguistic racism is seen as rational or "common sense", and many are not aware of its impact.

Racial stereotypes. Racial or cultural stereotyping refers to generalizing a group based on a simplified set of norms, behaviors, or characteristics.

The Yellow Peril (also the Yellow Terror, the Yellow Menace and the Yellow Specter) is a racist color metaphor that depicts the peoples of East and Southeast Asia[a] as an existential danger to the Western world.

Fu Manchu is a fictional character created by Arthur Ward, a music hall writer and journalist in London in the early 1900s. Writing under the pseudonym Sax Rohmer, Ward had absolutely no knowledge of Chinese culture or Chinese people – but his invention of a Chinese supervillain struck a chord in Victorian Britain and became a smash hit.

Fu Manchu was the original fictional Asian villain, a trope which became embedded in popular culture and Western psyche spawning spin-offs, spoofs, pop songs, video games and even consumer goods. But how damaging is Fu Manchu and how much can he tell us about modern Asian racism?

Ward wrote Fu Manchu as the personification of the so-called Yellow Peril threat: exotic, alien and inhuman, a mastermind boasting degrees from top universities. Using sinister powers to control minds, he aimed to undermine Western civilisation.

"This led to the idea that the Chinese were deceiving – they weren't being honest, they weren't revealing who they really are as people. This spawned into stories of Chinese as cheats and liars and deceitful – never giving you the truth, always fabricating."

Seven Lim being labeled as “greedy” “evil” and “manipulative” (of his white co-founder) is rooted in Anti-Asian racism. Whether people admit it or not.

Racism is not always derogatory slurs or white hoods. Racism is also casual micro-aggressions and putting people of color in the metaphorical boxes of harmful stereotypes. Racism is twisting the narrative and shaping it into a vile stereotype straight from the 19th century.

Also, let's not forget that people are happy to jump on Ryan in the similar way for the same reasons.

everyone who absolutely fucking VILIFIED and demonized Steven Lim, and reacted to Ryan (and Steven) with such visceral racism don’t deserve to watch their new content btw 🥰🥰🥰

#watcher entertainment #watcher #steven lim #ryan bergara #shane madej #ghost files #worth it #sometimes I forget how much I hate mob mentality and then stuff like this happens and I’m reminded #people on the internet should like actually just not sometimes #jesus christ #didn’t know how many toxic people were in the watcher community #btw this isn’t me saying there wasn’t valid criticism #bcuz there definitely was #but my point still stands

My favourite underrated moment from ghost files live last night was right at the start of the Q&A shane whipped out his chapstick and I heard someone behind me murmur "burts bees" to themself

I cant stop thinking about the fact that

this was a weird way to announce to the world they're bad with money.

So many creators who know how the game works have come out and stated that there is no reason they should be struggling financially. Successful patreons, sponsors for every video, YT ads, sold out tours and merch.

Now admitting (in the update video) that if they didn't do this they'd have to close the company.

You guys. What. Is. Up?

Watcher TV Update

For anyone who missed Watcher's update yesterday, they've made some changes and this is how the Watcher TV platform will now function:

Moving forward, shows will premiere on Watcher TV and be viewable there for subscribers, ad-free, for a month.

Shows will then be posted to their regular YouTube channel to be seen for free.

If you purchased a Watcher TV subscription and would now like a refund, you can request one.

All past episodes and series will remain on YouTube.

Current Watcher Patreon members will be given free subscription codes for the new platform, and may contact Watcher for refunds if they've already purchased a subscription.

Moving Forward

The Wiki mods are keeping their platform subscription and will be aware of episode spoilers, but will not post any here nor on the main blog.

Until the episodes premiere on YouTube any blog details will be kept vague (episode numbers and titles only). No trivia, easter eggs, or lore will be discussed until it's been posted to YouTube.

Ryan, Shane, and some of the crew are currently in the UK for Ghost Files Live shows and filming more content, so please be patient when reaching out to Watcher staff with your questions/refund requests.

Apologies for not posting yesterday. Mod illness & tech failures. Basically it was a busy day. Thank you to all our followers for being patient through this.
