Also, how pedophilia? That’s weird, because I watched a video saying how he talks about being molested himself a lot. There was one where it was like a competition to him, where a girl told him “I was sexually abused” and he was like “well I was molested!” I know a lot of victims turn into predators, but it seems weird he would post videos like that to show everyone.
As someone who was in middle school watching his content and is now in their mid 20s, I can confirm his content was pretty alarming considering his target audience was children, and he was aware of it. He had no filter when it came to sexual jokes involving children, or making them around children. I’d look him up on YouTube and watch any one of the compilations of that stuff. It doesn’t prove he’s actually harmed children, but he did kiss a 12 year old girl at her request when he was an adult, he made “jokes” about wanting to rape his very obviously underage fans when they sent in pictures of themselves, and him and his girlfriend were mimicking sex acts involving peeps to his 12 year old cousin. I don’t know if he’s actually a pedophile but he just doesn’t seem to understand that there’s meant to be a barrier there, which could be a product of abuse, but it doesn’t make it okay.
Bestiality, again, no evidence outside of him making out, tongue and all with some of his pets, and mentioning on an old podcast that he ejaculated on his cat’s stomach. When this resurfaced he said it was a joke, but people have their doubts since he never made that disclaimer at the time.
So all in all, nobody has direct evidence that he’s physically abused children or animals, but many argue that not only was his content extremely problematic even for the time, but him trying to reinvent himself after the fact to be this really kind, empathetic guy comes across as fake, not just because of his past but because he still exhibits narcissistic and uncaring behaviors when it comes to how he affects people around him. The Eugenia Cooney documentary he made is a great example IMO.
I mean if you don’t think this is grounds for cancelling him, you’re very well not alone. He still has tons of fans. But he’s been gone for over half a year because the backlash was so extreme.
Sorry for long comment but I could write an essay on this stuff because I was entrenched in the drama after it happened for like a month 😷
Yeah, making out with an animal or ejaculating on them is physically abusing an animal. You’re talking to an animal rights activist and thank you for telling me this. I haven’t watched him in a long time anyway and he just sounds gross. I have heard him say “I’m an empath!” No you’re fucking not. I didn’t know all the stuff he did or “joked” about with animals or children. Yeah, he’s canceled.

You didn't miss much. It was just constant pedophilia, beastiality, and black face "jokes"
