Fanclubs and Gossip mags often don't have a direct connection or ability to interact with the person they support/talk about (paparazzi reporting comes to mind), and often are merely based around the "idealized version" of the person or group (aka that which they believe the person to be) and in the case of Fanclubs support them, and with Gossip mags, take them down a notch.

I am by no means against content creators having this ease of ability to interact, in a lot of cases it's a good thing. In some cases though... it really isn't.

Do you need me to link to social media accounts of actual celebrities before you address the point that there's no difference between YouTube creators and any other public figure as everyone can just go create a social media account?

Well most comments i saw on this post is '' I don't care that he is a cheating pedophile as long as he makes good content''. You should all be very proud of yourselves

Oh c'mon this is really uncalled for. The OP doesn't mention anything about the child pornography thing, that information is scattered throughout the thread, do you really expect everyone to have read every single post?

That contradicts me how? Read the complete sentence not just the part about the OP.
what are you fucking even talking about ? Again my comment was at all the people basically saying '''' I don't care that he is a cheating pedophile as long as he makes good content'' and purely directed at them and NOT a single thing about the OP but you quoted my that i'm saying something about the OP. Wtf dude ???

Show me one post that says this!
Most people are saying something akin to "what people do in their bedrooms is none of my business", that includes cheating. The information that he may have solicited nudes from underage fans (pedophilia / child pornography) is neither in the OP nor even on the first page.

On Page two there's even an exchange where someone says that they don't care but say police should be called when made aware of the pedo accusations. You're virtue signaling because you assume people have read the entire thread instead of just responding to the information laid out in the OP.

Why are you twisting my words. Did i say everyone on here ? No i did not. I'm am not talking about what the OP said but what is KNOWN AT THIS TIME. Did he give underage teenagers nudes ? Yes he did ! Did he ask for nudes from underage teenagers ? Yes he did !!! And despite that information some people are still defending him. Plus this has NOTHING TO DO WITH WHAT THE OP SAID so stop fucking twisting claiming like i did say that. I DID NOT ! My comment is directed at the people saying they don't care what information is factual but they only care about the good content he makes. That's what my comment was directed at and nothing else stop please stop your twisting and bullshit already

Here's the problem: Not everyone may be aware of what is generally known at the time, you're just twisting their words to say "I don't care that he's a pedophile".
Most people do know. There are already a thousand videos, tweets and posts about this.Quite sure most of them know ;). Now let me be since my comment was not meant for you but for the people who still defend his sorry ass

You are doing this internet lark wrong.

Upon the merest hint or accusation of a vague suspicion then you are supposed to assume that have been arrested, tried and convicted of the worst possible scenario. Seen as the person in question is now undoubtedly the worst in all of history, never mind those still breathing, then for anybody to do anything other than utter condemnation of them and all they stand for (possibly their associates too, though rules there are a bit more complex) is tantamount to condoning their actions.

I'm really at a loss for words here. People say they don't give a shit but the default assumption is that there's enough interest to keep reading about the story to know everything.
At least we know there's one person YouTube doesn't serve extremist content to because apparently there's been videos about ProJared.

With videos I was referring to you saying everyone has to know because there's been videos about it.

I'm aware of the DMs, I'm just not assuming everyone else is. I guess life is easier if you can just assume everyone is a piece of shit.

I dont see anything wrong with talking about family to a certain extent.(i guess it depends on what your definition of "private" is) @Chary blogs about family stuff and quite frankly i find it compelling and interesting. It also can be sobering to realize that others around us have the same issues as everyone else. Its stuff such as the topic itself which in itself is dealing with the negative sides of being social media to bring masses of drama to ones life that is unnecesary .
The ones Chary makes are fine. I’m more so talking about negative family issues, I think it’s best to keep the public out of it. Imagine telling your sister hey I’m going to complain about you online for lots of people to see. I think that’s messed up.



It’s good to know other people are going through the same problems so you can relate. But at the same time you have to talk bad about your family members in the process. Sometimes we say things in the heat of the moment we regret later on. I shouldn’t have said this and this about this person. And that is going to be on public display, like I made my mom look bad when she isn’t a horrible person. I can’t believe I said that about her, that’s messed up to my mom.


If social media wasn’t such a drama place then I would be a little more ok with personal issue on public display. It’s more be carful what you post. There are people that do want to help and not dramatize issues, but you get a lots of people that don’t care to help out and see drama as a fun entertainment to exploit. And I wouldn’t want my family to be dragged down into that.

So it’s more then just cheating on wife. It’s also sending nudes. Wow, double dumb choices just piled on one after the other. Why would you send nudes of yourself? That’s dumb. I’m glad i’m fortunate enough not to see any of them that are circulating.

The wife cheating part is bad but it’s none of my business that I don’t care much about, him loosing his wife for doing something dumb is his problem he’ll suffer for, and that’s for him and his wife to deal with. But the nudes part, what on earth was he thinking?

Solicit nudes from others or send unsolicited nudes to others? Most people seemed to be concerned with the former, or accusations thereof. Didn't see mention of the latter, or is it a new development?

You are unlikely to catch me doing either (this is the internet and for now at least there is plenty of access to far higher quality and more titillating versions of both than either such thing is likely to yield), and if his sponsors and colleagues want to drop him then so be it, but consenting people and all that.

He was asking for nudes. That much we know. But he was also sending d**k pics of himself with his face in the picture so it’s undeniable it’s him, or so I’ve heard, and boy, people sure love to explain those pics they saw floating around online in great detail. I don’t want to know, no need to go into detail.

Where? There's only ONE person who said they didn't care as long as he makes funny content and he said his "sex-life" not "being a pedophile".

I don't give a flying fuck about his sex-life, as long as he doing funny videos.
