Controversies

In 2018, many of their (Grayson and Ethan) fans who are people of color shared times when they received racist remarks from other people in the fandom and requested Dolan Twins to address the issue. After the news reached them, Ethan tweeted that they were all the same. The response of Ethan disappointed their fans and they called out to them (Dolan twins) as they (fans) believed that he was not addressing the issue directly but avoiding it. After the backlash, Ethan tweeted that they do not tolerate racism and that he was not avoiding the issue. He further stated that whoever was discriminating against the people on the bases of color, ethnicity, or race, should unfollow him. [2]

In 2020, some fans of Dolan Twins trended ‘#DolanTwinsAreOverParty’ after an old clip of them surfaced online in which they seemingly used homophobic language. In an old YouTube video, Grayson and Ethan were discussing the bullying that they faced during their high school. Grayson recollected things that people had posted about him online, which also included homophobic slurs. People took a short clip of Grayson saying homophobic slurs (from the video) and spread it around online, due to which, Grayson faced a huge backlash. [3]
