Danisnotonfire and AmazingPhil have recently been interviewed by a Sunday Times reporter.
We believe that the interview was biased against YouTubers, and did not show the true Dan and Phil we all know and love.
We feel like the interviewer invaded privacy, by questioning rumors about their sexuality, when they were obviously uncomfortable. He also downgraded a show that many people, of all age, genders, and cultures, have been looking forward to, and that Dan and Phil have worked hard on for months to make it the best show for the fans.

Join us in our mission to show how much we support both Dan and Phil.
We also want to express our appreciation and gratefulness for them spending so much time making amazing things for us (book, tour, radio show, app, etc.) and to show them that we love them for all they do.

The article made me really angry because the interviewer was out of line. Dan and Phil have inspired so many people in the world. And the fandom really isn't made up of 12 year olds, I'm 19. "Sex icons" my butt. We all know Dan and Phil, it's time others know too.
I totally agree and I felt like Dan and Phil weren't comfortable and him telling all of us that we are a bunch of twelve years old and that we listen to Justin bieber and One direction like hold up mate, like about most of us we listen to alternative rock or heavy metal, idk that's just my opinion
Honestly, I'm just really disappointed that this happened in the first place. Dan was answering the questions because he most likely knows that Phil gets nervous in situations like that and judging an entire fandom on one person just doesn't work.
The interview was obviously biased against youtubers. Dan and Phil have worked so hard on everything they do for us and this interview seemed very disrespectful. He questioned rumors about their sexuality when they were evidently uncomfortable.
We do not love Dan and Phil because they are "hot." We love them for their personalities and how much they care for us. And why would you ask a star(s) where they live? Do you want fangirls breaking into your house? Same with how much Dan makes. That is personal and we didn't need to know that.
I also want to sign a petition to kick John in his not-so-hot spot.
They're too kind to have this happen to them!

I think that the Sunday Times should apologize for their actions. They wouldn't say things like that about Kim Kardashian or Katy Perry, would they? They shouldn't treat others differently, no matter what. =|
