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.

    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

      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

          I found out Garret Gilchrist, the guy from Gorilla Interrupted that was never seen again and it seems annoyed the rest on a Simpsons shitpost group I'm in. He commented something about the Planet of the Apes Musical, I replied with something like "Well you DO know about apes." I later realised that probably may not have be well recieved since he's gotten harassed before. I just wanted to make a joke

              I personally meant it like "hey you're that guy from that movie" and then realised people probably tried to track him down and then looked into it and yeeeah they did, I was using normal brain instead of internet brain.

      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
