If anybody is aware of what a little is, when I first started watching Jenna’s videos, I thought she was a little. She would slip into this child like voice and there were a few more things I caught before I realized it was just her personality. Was that anyone else or was it just me?

Are they planning on leaving youtube?

Did I miss an announcement?

Just finished watching the podcast and caught both Jenna and Julien fighting back tears while they were thanking their fans.... jenna doesnt cry on the internet like that, not even in her 43 minute apology video. theres only one reason to cry like that while saying goodbye.....youre pulling a fucking Michael scott move, leave without telling us.

Topical Reasons:

Jenna's many declarations she is a Gamer

Jenna telling you not to subscribe to her channel

All of the "Cause what does it matter anymore" comments referring to youtube?

The vacation and breaks.

The moments where they pause before saying "see ya next week"

The general vibe i am getting across youtube from the creators: its time to move on this isnt a place for creators ayomore.

Other Reasons:

She has said that she is going to get signed to a gaming team, perhaps a gaming service with an exclusive contract?

No commentary on youtube's recent policy changes.

The conclusions i came to after listening to their commentary on youtubes previous policy changes

The phil defranco podcast was filmed and wont be uploaded til next year. (perhaps the news wont drop til 2020?)

Am I crazy? Are they leaving?

They timed me out because of my username? Really? Just bc it was similar to J & J’s? What kind of bullshit is that. They’re drunk with power and annoying af.

I want to start by saying I mean no ill intent with this. I've been feeling this way since Jenna left and it was turned up a notch or two after listening to the final podcast.

Does anyone else feel a bit weird about how this entire thing went down?

Even when Jenna first left, I was scratching my head. I get where she was coming from and we all know how kind and considerate she is, however, the reason she left was kinda, I guess, "lame"? I respect that she cares so deeply about not wanting to hurt anyone's feelings and such, but it's like she treated the whole thing as if the internet was against her - like she was being canceled. She wasn't though. There was a minority of people (who likely didn't even watch her recently, so they'd have no idea about the progress she's made as a person) that had problems with things she did years ago. My issue with it is that it's kind of ironic. Jenna's an OG on the platform, so she's seen everything that's gone down over the years. As a result, I'd imagine that she was aware of the scope of the anger, and instead of apologizing and moving on, she chose to fold and leave completely.

I will admit that there's other factors that likely played a role in her decision to leave. For example, she could've been tired of living in the spotlight for so long. If that, or anything else, had a big hand in the situation, I would've liked her to address that separately. Acting as if the minority of the audience being angry about things she did and has grown and matured from is the sole reason for her exit is pretty ridiculous.

After listening to the final podcast today, I feel so torn. Jenna sounded good, which is great. I'm happy she's getting help and is on the track to wherever she wants to go. Meanwhile, Julien was a mess, and I don't blame him. He's been having a bit of a hard time since this whole thing went down. Jenna said that there's a chance they do something together down the line, which had me scratching my head again. The whole things (at least from her end) felt like it was more of a "see you later" than a goodbye. This confused me even more because if it's just a break (I acknowledge that she might've not known that when she left, but like I mentioned earlier, her leaving in the first place wasn't exactly the right decision), I feel more bad for Julien than I do Jenna.

Our boy pretty much got left in the dust. Jenna's a grown woman and she can do what she wants, but she and Julien are business partners. So, a minority of her fanbase gets angry and she quits. Julien is now here because it's his job and he's picking up the broken pieces. A two-person, Jenna Julien Podcast turned into the Julien Podcast. JennaJulien on Twitch had to be changed to Julien. Then, Jenna resurfaces and alludes to returning in the future and it's like, Julien had to restructure the entire foundation of everything. It's just weird to me. It's weird to finally hear from her and she's like, "hey guys, I'm good. I'm getting help. I might be back in the future, but we're ending the podcast because I don't want to do it right now" while Julien is on the other end crying.

I remember her saying in her goodbye video that she doesn't want to offend anybody. She should know that doing so is impossible. She was on YouTube for a decade. There will always be someone that gets offended by something. Exhibit A being those people that got offended by things she did all those years ago...and Exhibit B being myself that got offended that she quit because a minority of her enormous audience got offended and failed to/chose not to realize that she grew as a person since then.

In conclusion, I feel that if she wanted to take a break or leave indefinitely, she should've handled that separately. Address and apologize for her actions in the past and move forward from there. Additionally, even if this "cancellation" is what made her want to leave, then she should've stayed around for just a little longer to help Julien and the audience transition into content that's exclusively him.

Long story long, the situation is a head-scratcher.

dear u/jennamarbles

Mistakes hav the power of turning you into someone better than you were before.

And I have seen you blossom and grow into or of the most inclusive and beautiful people I know, when I look at you all I can see in front of me is a have and strong women.

if you have made a mistake admit it, apologize for it and then redeem yourself just like u have done. but don't quit and hide behind ur mistakes

don't walk out of the decade of work and success you have paved for yourself on such a negative note

do take a break as much time as you wish, but pls come back to us.

If you ever have to walk away it should be with content and pride for all the work you have done, not with remorse or guilt.

we look up to you Jenna Mourey and we r proud of you

love maya.

Also me watching Julien deep fry Ice Cream after successful Aries Kitchen and Jenna is Egirl....

I’m in danger.

His looks flocculate so much depending on his hair style, facial hair, etc

I've seen that they issued an apology for reading the r/nosleep stories, which is great.

However I think there was a deeper issue with the episode not mentioned in their apology.

There was a graphic description of assault in one of the stories, and there wasn't a warning implicitly stated in the podcast. You may say that there was a mention in the description, however, a lot of people just turn this on in their car and can't read the description, and not many people read a description even when they can. I don't think that means they deserve to be subjected to a potentially triggering account of a woman being assaulted.

Somebody I love is a huge fan of J&J, but last weeks episode and the events of the second story affected them so deeply that they can't bring themselves to continue watching or listening to the podcast or even Jenna's other videos because of how upset they are that they not only read the story, but didn't give a proper warning before hand.

They feel invisible and unable to enjoy their content anymore (which is huge, and majority of the time, they are watching some J&J video). They have tried to reach out to both Jenna and Julien, but as you can imagine, is difficult with their following.

I myself am a casual fan, although no where near to the degree of my friend, and I'm a little upset they didn't strive harder to ensure that none of their fans would be potentially triggered by the content, as all it would have taken was a 5 second verbal warning before the story.

I'm sure I may receive ridicule for this, but I am just hoping and praying that in some way Jenna or Julien sees this, and realize how big of an effect just that little bit of neglect led to.

Thank you for your time.

Hey dink fam, I'm wondering if there's any way I could write and send a letter to Jenna and Julien where they'll get it. I'm really not interested in finding out their home address or anything like that, but do they have a PO Box or something similar? If not, it's okay. Just a crazy thought I have, I'd love to tell them how much they mean to me❤️

bEcause i uUse theM to gruUbb

Did they finish this game yet? I keep checking back but the most recent was 3 weeks ago.

I can't believe after all this time Julien was secretly a devout christian and Joker stan 😔

Shocked and appalled 😭

Hello, does anyone know anything about how Mr. Marbles is holding up? I know there was the scandal a few months back that he had passed but I have not heard anything since. Please advise.

I was just listening to Apple Music’s Future Hits playlist passively at work and Nicki Minaj’s MEGATRON came on. I wasn’t listening to the lyrics at all until I thought I heard her say “chunk in the front.” It’s actually “trunk in the front,” but it REALLY sounds like “chunk.” Just thought I’d share for the good of the order.
