So Dan from Game Grumps (aged 42) is getting cancelled for supposed grooming. I don’t want to say he’s not a groomer, because theres stuff about other alleged behavior that isnt detailed at all in it.

But like the story presented is that a 17 year old fan started messaging him. He thanks her for her support and wishes her a happy birthday when she turns 18 about a month later. Then nothing is shown until the fans 22 and they exchange some cringey sexts. Then apparently they fuck and he breaks things off. And everyone’s calling this grooming, but like, that’s not what grooming is? I donno, it just feels like people really have been stretching definitions of things for the last year like with that Alex Morse thing to take advantage of cancel culture. And it seems like it only causes people to ignore victims who are actually groomed.

One problem lately is everyone feels like they have to have an opinion about everything.

Not just an opinion. A “hot” take.

As far as I can tell, he fucked everyone when they were of age, and the evidence of “grooming” is flimsy at best, so idgaf.

As long as everyone’s legal and consenting, I personally don’t really care if a 100 year-old fucks a 19 year-old or whatever.

Is it for me? Probably not. But I’m not gonna cancel someone over it.

Fandoms of online personalities are obsessive and awful in general, I believe some weirdos on 4chan believed they’d found out that Mike and Jessi from RedLetterMedia had a kid from snooping Milwaukee area hospital records

Yeah, RLM is one of the few YouTube groups that doesn’t fuck around with fans. They hate their fans more than Chapo does lol

Fuck, I really did not want to know that and I miss Jessi being on the show, especially cause she had to leave over that

Being visible online is bad, but being visible and a woman is exponentially worse

I love how when Jontron left they just made shit up about how he slapped Suzy. But then he had to one-up that by being a Nazi dipshit.
