I can't get on board with some of the meaner (and fucked up, imo) things that people say about Shane's condition on this board, but I keep coming back here because I can't deny that these two weird me tf out, and really it has nothing to do with the disability for me.
I was actually really excited when I first found their channel. I thought, wow this couple is really taking on people's misconceptions about disability and relationships. How cool! Then after watching them for a while I realized how truly bleeping ANNOYING and immature Shane is. He clearly never matured emotionally past the age of like 12/13. He's totally self centered and his sense of humor is extremely grating to me. Plus the way he expresses his "gratitude" seems totally fake to me. Sooo cheesy, and honestly kind of insulting to other disabled people. They mock "inspiration porn" but Shane makes it on purpose ALL THE TIME.
Once I realized that I don't like Shane as a person, I started really thinking that something must be up with Hannah. I don't think she's a "sick pervert" or whatever some people here say, because unlike some of you I do think it's possible that interabled relationships can be based on normal healthy feelings, but I do think she definitely feels unsafe around able bodied adult men. After reading her instagram post about being sexualized from a young age a lot of things clicked for me.
Shane clearly annoys her, how could he not. She puts up with it because she is more comfortable in a relationship where all of the physical power is in her hands. I also think she has the attitude of a crusader for justice (so does her mom) so it suits her to be going around pointing out how inaccessible the world is. The sad thing is she could definitely do that without being saddled with an asshole like Shane for a husband. I'm sure she feels that she could never leave him because it would look bad for their brand. He would make her look like an abandoner like he did with all his ex gfs. Tbh I would also not be surprised at all if Shane talks to other girls online. He seems really bored with Hannah sometimes, and he seems like the type (narcissistic nerd with low self esteem) to be stacking back ups online.
