My thoughts, internet drama. If you use the internet, you might end up talking to someone that is underage (in this example, by 1 full year). It happens. If you are of high profile, you should probably not talk directly to fans, but have someone look over your messages first. But even so, drama is drama. It will eventually happen, because, internet is internet.

I have no words... this is just absolutely shocking.

Damn.

I will always say innocent until proven guilty, but if this is true it's seriously messed up. There's been several high profile cases of this kind of thing on YouTube in the last year or so.

There are tons of predators out there, but I always say innocent until proven guilty, especially after what happened with ProJared and James Charles turning out to be innocent despite how big both those accusations were. I don't care for either Dan or Arin, everyone tells me about how far Game Grumps has fallen, but I won't make the same mistake I made with throwing shade on ProJared before all the facts came out.

Personally, I am sick of this atmosphere on the internet where all someone has to do is make allegations and they can instantly destroy someone's career. It is bullshit. "Innocent until proven guilty" is the phrase, but most people don't care. Just make an allegation of this nature and the internet blindly believes it like a bunch of brain dead sheep. ProJared's career was almost completely wiped out all because his psycho ex wife made a couple of allegations with absolutely no evidence at all and what did everyone do? Everyone instantly believed her and instantly hated Jared with the utmost extreme spite. That was certainly the point that assured me to never trust the stupid as shit masses when it comes to this stuff. It sincerely bothers me. ProJared is someone who genuinely makes me happy and I was devasted when that garbage happened to him. I was convinced that he was ruined and I cannot stand seeing that happen to people who do not deserve it. I have no history with the Grump dudes, but I will believe no allegations unless there is evidence brought forth.

Nailed it right there. I think of all the allegations that have previously happened, the saddest being Bill Cosby, which to this day, no one ever mentions that name. I see how much a false allegation could completely ruin someone...all that they have worked for...everything that they poured their heart out into...all gone because someone out there either wants money, attention or both. 

As for me, I hope that all of this is false and if it is, I hope that person doesn't get away with making up these evil lies.
