I think that if D&P get "too big" the conventions should just get bigger to match them. It's a shame that bigger youtubers aren't going to these conventions because of the sheer amount of fans and that ties back to my original point that YT conventions are going downhill. I don't think it's just the youtuber's faults for not going, I now see after all you lovely people responded that part of it is the conventions' faults for not being able to accommodate or organize so many people. I think it's possible to hold a bigger convention and organize it, isn't that what comic con does?

who knows though, maybe someday D&P will have their own convention

Agreed that conventions should get bigger and borrow some organizing tips from comiccon bc for now what some people said before is very true that the pandom is starting to annoy too many youtubers and staff with the screaming at panels and these kind of behaviors. rabid fan behaviors

yep. A friend of mine who used to be in the phandom volunteered at sitc in 2014 and according to her everyone dreaded doing the D&P meetup because their fans were renowned for being difficult to deal with. The organisers are probably glad they won't be there.

+ maybe if bigger YouTubers stop going it'll give exposure to smaller content creators and help them grow. We can dream.

Phil looks adorable and fun-loving and silly and Dan...Dan has a stiff pose, a white-knuckled fist clench, hand pose, and doge face? Seriously Dan? You're leaping in the air in front of a giant goddamn rainbow. Lighten up.

maybe he's a little sore...from all the birthday se...celebrating.

At Playlist this year, their screeching exuberant (young) fans weren't too bad - but then again, D&P were not on a panel - just their shows and the M&G.

The new security measures that will be enforced at VidCon - although necessary to deter copycats - sound like they won't be too much fun for the attendees. I considered going at the last minute, but now I don't feel like spending a ton of money just to be held behind riot fencing, and not being able to talk to youtubers after the panels are over (which you could do at Playlist.) Part of the charm of these conventions is to get up close and personal with the youtubers, and that experience sadly has become a victim of the zealots and psychopaths...

Dan's eyes look totally red.

They certainly do, and it's like that in all the pics so far. Looks like they had a good time.

It looks like just one of Dan's eyes are red I hope he isn't getting an infection ):

[offtopic]Reminds me of the time this happened to my eye and I actually thought that I was dying. [/offtopic]

I get the high jokes but I'm legit worried for his eye ):

Hmm yeah this pic shows the difference between his eyes. Lol it's hopefully/probably just pink eye (or he rubbed it too much), not a big deal.

I get zombie eyes like that sometimes, but that's because I'm a garbage human who gets drunk and sleeps in her contacts constantly.

Most likely it's either
a) lack of sleep (you know, from the turbosex, not from the crazy touring schedule or anything.)
b) Allergies
c) Infections from being in close proximity to germ bags for hours every day.
d) #phandivorce

Yep,let's hope it's nothing too serious. Btw:small,tall,BALL?

messed up on a tequila shot, too drunk already, got the order wrong and threw salt in his eye? it happens

You just reminded me of another reason he could have only one irritated eye. Bad Aim.

(Thank you for beating me to that joke, I feel like that is all I have been adding to the conversation lately... innuendos galore.)

it probably is b or c, but I vote discussing a or d, much more interesting.
