@Baldamort You've never been out of line, IMO. It reminds me of this conversation I had with my High School Wrestling Coach. I still keep in touch with him, years later. I was sending our wrestler to a prestigious Wrestling Academy (Purler Wrestling). Our wrestler is a girl and she was new at the time. She had no girls to practice with and was being paired up with boys who were far more experienced. Needless to say, she was getting her ass kicked every day and it was not fun for her. I wanted to tell the owner of the Academy that I didn't think it was fair partnering her up with these experienced boys given all of their advantages, and that it would be better for her if she partnered with boys who were a bit smaller than her so that she would at least have a weight advantage to even out her disadvantages. The problem was that I didn't think it was my place to go to the owner and say, "Hey, this isn't fair. Change who she partners with." I reached out to my HS Wrestling Coach and told him about this and asked what he thought. His answer was, "YOU are paying HIM. You have every right to voice a concern." The point of that quick story is that you are a paying customer for Dasha's product (reactions). If there is something that you feel needs to be addressed you are NOT out of line by letting her know. There are ways that you could be out of line, such as if you were being a dick to her or something, but you never did that. You were always polite when you raised your concerns. You're a paying client and as such you have a voice and you are not wrong to raise it. Dasha doesn't have to listen to your concern if she doesn't want to, but then again, you don't have to continue being a patron either. That's how business works. It's up to you and to her to choose how you want to do business. To finish my story above... I did raise my objection to the owner of the Wrestling Academy. I told him that my wrestler was just getting creamed every second of practice and I was worried that she would be discouraged and want to quit. I asked if she could stop wrestling the boys her size and instead go against boys who were 20 lbs smaller than her. He listened and he agreed. After that, she only got paired with the smaller boys. They still beat her because they had experience on her, but she at least put up a fight and that helped tremendously. Had he not listened to what I had to say, I may have pulled her out of there to save her interest in the sport and enrolled her somewhere else, even if the next place wasn't as prestigious.

2025-01-12 22:42:53 +0000 UTCI have to admit, I get nervous when I give some critical feedback sometimes. ITs all meant to be respectful and comes from how much I love her content but there is some people who think they come off as personal attacks against Dasha sometimes and that is what confuses me. Im not the only one who has given feeback that has been met with the same response., which to be fair ive seen this happen in every community ive seen. So I understand why a lot people dont speak up when people ask about something to be fixed or something we would like to see changed or done better. We genuinly love it here and enjoy everything Dasha puts on screen for us. Extra community points when she does respond and like comments when she finds the time :)
Thats MR. Baldamort
2025-01-12 19:10:17 +0000 UTCThe patrons here have a lot of kind words for you, but I'm going to give the patrons themselves some nice words: I've participated in many different groups, from sports to gaming to entertainment to politics to science and more. Drawing from that experience I can say that you have a pretty good group of people here as your patrons. I'm not going to blow smoke up people's asses and say it's the best group I've ever experienced, but I can say that from what I've seen it *IS* a good group. I personally would like to see more participation from everyone as I believe it would add more fun to it, but it doesn't have to have that because it's already a good group. I haven't seen anyone being inappropriate or vulgar, and I have seen a lot of kindness and support, both for you and among the patrons themselves. The worst I've seen here are maybe tiny spats among members, but even those are quick and trivial. Overall I have seen mostly camaraderie and politeness. Maybe it's because everyone here shares an interest in movies, I don't know. It's worth saying though. Props to this group! ๐

Thats MR. Baldamort
2025-01-12 03:24:12 +0000 UTCthank you guys very much for your kind words!
Dasha
2025-01-11 22:40:43 +0000 UTCSo sorry you were going through that. But I am glad things are better now.
Stuart Guthrie Jr.
2025-01-10 14:40:31 +0000 UTCGlad to hear things are beginning to get better. After reading what youโve been going through I just wanted to say thank you for sharing your reactions with us. I appreciate being able to come here and put on a movie reaction whenever I want to. Itโs honestly a really fun way of watching movies that I donโt want to take for granted.

2025-01-10 13:03:04 +0000 UTCNo matter what I'll always pay my subscription. Just be safe Dasha.

2025-01-10 04:26:48 +0000 UTCI don't think Dasha ever has to apologize either but I also dont think its fair to ask paying patrons to apologise for expressing their concerns and doubt of a couple bad uncut reactions and wondering if they will be updated or not since nobody knew what was going on behind the scenes, why there was no response and that she was afk for a while. The transparency she just gave is great and it answers all the questions lots of us had. No harm no foul.
JokesterHollywood
2025-01-10 02:05:21 +0000 UTCSorry to hear about all of this, Dasha! Take care of yourself first and foremost. Donโt worry about us. But just know that weโre always here to help, even if itโs just to lend an ear if you need someone to talk to or a shoulder to cry on. โNo man is a failure who has friends. โ ๐
Bill Bowron
2025-01-10 01:54:20 +0000 UTCSorry to hear what's been going on with you Dasha. I'm glad you have Hugo and Natalia to help you through it. You don't need to apologize for anything, although I feel some people here should be apologizing to you. If you ever feel the need to take a break though I, and I'm sure others here, will understand and still be waiting here for when you're ready to start up again. I hope things get better soon and you stay safe.

2025-01-10 01:06:53 +0000 UTCHey, Mr b, Edward Woodward played a pretty darn good Equalizer on television (I dated a woman for about a year who had the hots for him, as a matter of fact. I'm always playing second fiddle!). ๐

2025-01-10 00:52:04 +0000 UTCSpeaking of stalking, by the way, you wouldn't think a guy like me would have ever had a stalker, but I actually did one time. There was a kid in one of my creative writing classes who was a fan of my work, and suddenly he started following me everywhere, and I even found him talking to members of my family. It was creep-tastic...๐ณ
Troy Hickman
2025-01-10 00:41:46 +0000 UTCYou never need to apologize if real life puts pressure on this reaction channel. This is just folks having fun. We will always make allowances for whatever is going on, because we love you, you crazy banana...
Troy Hickman
2025-01-10 00:35:58 +0000 UTCOh yeah I do remember that fake patreon channel as well, that was very VERY odd because from what we know, you are a very private person in general from the internet. I also agree, seems like an Equalizer would of been very handy, but only if its Danzel Washington. xD
Thats MR. Baldamort
2025-01-09 23:43:57 +0000 UTCI don't know how bad it was, but if you need an Equalizer... lol
Michael@GetFitwithDogs
2025-01-09 23:41:58 +0000 UTCI only echo what everybody else said. Hugo is truely the best man in your life. We all need a Hugo. Im glad to know that this has been taken care of. I don't know if you can can mention if this had anything to do with the same person who made that fake "DashaLife" patreon channle a while back that we all reported on and has since been deleted. Its clear that person knew you. which gave me second hand anxiety. Reading your update here about harassment and stalking made me rememebr that.
JokesterHollywood
2025-01-09 23:40:01 +0000 UTCFunny enough , this has not been related to my reaction channel whatsoever. The story is old as time , and I always thought that it is not that big of the deal up until I had to face it myself
Dasha
2025-01-09 23:38:36 +0000 UTCYeah that is some serious stuff. Im glad that you got it taken care of. Its sad to say that you are only one of several female content creators that I follow thats had stalkers. Not sure if your stalker was related to your work as a Youtuber or not and thats not our business but it still sucks to know that you went through that. Its also Amazing to know how much of an impact Battlstar Galactica has had on you so far. Like every time you post a reaction to it and I watch it. You can juse see the pure joy in your eyes when watching it. You only deserve to be happy and we see that you absolutely love watching movies with us. Also yes to Hugo being truly the best support.
Thats MR. Baldamort
2025-01-09 23:30:37 +0000 UTCHahahah Hugo for sure made me feel safe
Dasha
2025-01-09 23:24:14 +0000 UTCDamn, I am sorry to hear about that. Time to train up Hugo to do some guard dog work!
Michael@GetFitwithDogs
2025-01-09 23:23:21 +0000 UTCDon't worry Mr. Baldamort. She will be fine. She's Russian, and they're a hardy people. Doce, you are correct. No one knows what the hardship has been. There have been some things she said in recent reactions that seem to suggest what the issue may be, but no one knows and she has not asked that it be talked about here. You are right about that.
Michael@GetFitwithDogs
2025-01-09 23:20:09 +0000 UTCYou bring good point. We dont know whats going on, but yeah the sentiment is still the same regardless just knowing there is some hurdles going on.
Thats MR. Baldamort
2025-01-09 23:15:47 +0000 UTCHey guys thank you very much!!! Honestly I realized I donโt want to stop the channel when I was watching one of the episodes of battle star galactica and it made me feel so much better, however , taking a small break from the world did help me. I honestly canโt appreciate enough you offering to help financially , but the issue was not with the money, I just had a terrible case of a crazy harassment and stalking in real life and it did take a bigger toll on me than I thought. Thankfully, it is all over now , and I am getting back in shape emotionally. I am not saying that to make you feel bad for me , i just felt terrible about ignoring your comments and not fixing the issues, so i thought you deserve to know what was happening with me and I why I disappeared and left you on read for so long because it is not fair for you, my patrons. One thing I took from all of this, life sucks sometimes but watching Starbuck saving the galactica over and over again does make it better lol
Dasha
2025-01-09 23:14:11 +0000 UTCItโs commendable that you guys offer her support this way; I echo some of your sentiments. But I would again just suggest people not start speculating on what she is dealing with. I assume itโs not for public conversations.
Doce
2025-01-09 23:11:56 +0000 UTCOh shit, I mean okay now that you said that, i understand. Sorry to hear that there is some stuff going on in your personal life. If you want help from any of us here Dasah, don't hesitate to ask us. You are a good person with a good heart. I just want to see you succeed and be happy โค๏ธ
JokesterHollywood
2025-01-09 23:11:13 +0000 UTCIs it odd that I genuinely am worrying a bit, and that I feel a bit helpless? I mean like knowing somebody you admire is in a tough situation with life and you want to help but cant. So much wish I could reach through this screen and give Dasha a hug you know?
Thats MR. Baldamort
2025-01-09 23:03:57 +0000 UTC100% Being a kind and joyful person has a power of its own. That power shows itself when the kind and joyful person needs help, because they get it. Because of how they made other people feel good, it makes those people want to return the favor by showing up to lend a hand when it is needed. Look at how quickly the patrons are offering help and support. Not everyone gets that kind of support, but the good ones do. Dasha is a good one.
Michael@GetFitwithDogs
2025-01-09 22:57:30 +0000 UTCIf you need to take time off or slow down, we will understand. Take care of yourself first, we appreciate the effort you put into your reactions.

2025-01-09 22:55:47 +0000 UTCHey Dasha was reading your reply to JokesterHollywood and I want to say, I am sorry to hear that things are tough for you, like just by you possible needing to temporarily stop the channel due to how hard it is. I feel like a total ass from previous comments I made about criticising your communication, and that I hope what ever is going on that you can get through it and, when or if you choose to stop the channel for a little while to deal with whats going on, we will be here for when you come back and support you. If you want any help from us, weather its money or extra support Im sure there is plenty of us here that will help you if you need it. Just ask. You have impacted a lot of us here in a very positive way. We love having you around, but more importantly we love seeing you happy and loving watching movies with you, and we love Natalia too of course. You have expressed a lot that watching movies and shows takes you away from the real word but please with all my heart, take a break from making videos if it means you will have more time to deal with getting over this hurdle. We are always here in your corner with you Dasha :)
Thats MR. Baldamort
2025-01-09 22:41:02 +0000 UTCDasha, I think I speak for everyone here when I say that if there's anything that we can do to help you with whatever matters you are dealing with, just let us know. If it's money matters, we'll pass the hat. If it's someone being a jerk to you, we'll clean his clock...๐. Remember what they say in it's a Wonderful Life about having friends...
Troy Hickman
2025-01-09 22:16:08 +0000 UTCI am sorry to hear about unsettling things happening in your life. Your patrons already discussed on here that you may be going through tough times and that if you needed to step away that we would still support you. Take care of yourself first. That is most important. Oh, and don't put up with anyone's bullshit! That's just from me to you. Forgive me for assuming, but I am assuming that it's probably a relationship thing. Relationships shouldn't be causing too much trouble, and when they are it may be a sign to you that it's not the right one. If it's the right one, it shouldn't be that difficult. That comes from my experience, not just myself but from friends that have made successful relationships. The good ones simply don't have that many issues. The wrong ones do. Best wishes.
Michael@GetFitwithDogs
2025-01-09 21:53:04 +0000 UTCI read the comments to make sure that there are no broken videos , but sometimes I do miss it. I know that it has been a thing recently where I donโt react right away. I was honestly thinking to stop the channel for couple of months to figure out some unsettling things happening in my life first, but I thought that missing an edit here and there would still be better than completely shutting it down for some time. I will work tonight on fixing all issues with the previously posted videos, I apologize for the this
Dasha
2025-01-09 21:41:57 +0000 UTCI will fix it tonight , sorry
Dasha
2025-01-09 21:38:28 +0000 UTCTBH, I don't think she is ignoring these questions. I think she hasn't read the comments for 3 or 4 weeks. Just a guess. The holidays and whatever is going on in her life has probably interfered. Just my guess. Who knows for sure.
Michael@GetFitwithDogs
2025-01-09 21:22:43 +0000 UTCDasha, can you at least tell us if you will fix home alone 2 uncut or not? Would rather you at least let us know so we dont have to keep wondering. Thanks! Other than that, equalizer 2 is a fun movie will be watching this, this weekend!
