The fact that not only did dream make a song/music video about how not taking your meds is good and will make you happier (terrible message for anyone let alone a young fan base), but also forced an animation team that basically only had experience animating Minecraft to animate something completely different from their usual style in a few weeks with NO pay and there are still people who think he’s not a complete asshole is astounding to me
you wanna know the best part?
i looked into one of the people who is sort of the face of “Phyre Productions”… well, guess what? they’re a 16 year old dream fan!
dream not only DID NOT PAY the people who made the video, FORCE THEM TO WORK ON A SHORT DEADLINE, he also used UNDERAGE FAN LABOR. ON A DEADLINE. TO MAKE A MUSIC VIDEO THAT HE PROFITS FROM.
haha! haha! totally cool!
oh, addendum to this, too: a friend and I also looked into the person who produced the music for him, and guess what? we’re pretty sure he’s underage as well! i’m not sure if he’s a fan, and there’s nothing inherently wrong with him hiring young people to do work for him if he likes their work, but this REEKS of taking advantage of teenagers because they will work for cheap or FREE because they are fans :/
