after being gaslit, doxed and abused while working for gamegrumps.

He's kind of vague in not wanting to outright call specific people out, but it really shines a light on what a shitbag Arin Hanson is

Never forget that the Grumps doxxed some guy because they didn't like that their guide for Sanic Adventure didn't take into account every possible location of the emerald shards into account and that Arin admitted in some animation stream that he needed to privately scream the N word at the top of his lungs after meeting a black person so he could "get it out of his system".

The allegation that they were underaged was forced, but he was still fucking fans left and right, I guess.

If I remember he was talking to a teenage fan for a couple years online, after she turned 18 he banged her then ghosted her. Maybe that's been debunked, but not that I've seen

An approx 37 year old adult having sex with some College Freshman aged girls because they know who he is and personally like him, so he angles a meet up while telling them he likes them, has sex and never talks to them again like a pure radiant angel. Even while maybe seeing his now current girlfriend.

He is married now.

I just want to understand something about the sanctimonious reaction from some people. If an athlete, musician, or anyone else who does a lot of traveling has sex with a lot of people who are of age, are they all bad people?

Danny is a musician, spends a lot of time on the road. I kinda expect the single people who are living that lifestyle to maybe have a lot of flings with consenting adults?

Is it the fact that he is a nice guy make it seem terrible he would live a touring musician lifestyle?

It probably would have helped if they addressed it the FIRST time and talked about the staff member vaguely involved, but they never did.

Yeah, they call Arin the boss but he probably has a management team to guide the company.

Still though, he should be responsible for what's going on in the company if he's considered the boss.

I'll do my best. Like he said in the video a lot of these details have been covered up and I guess they are under some kind of contract not to disclose the information.

To start he went off on this rant initially when Matt from Supermega, former grumps editor, gifted him 150 subs on twitch. It pissed him off because he saw it as a publicity stunt when Matt has basically cut ties with him after the drama from the dream daddy incident when they used to be good friends.

So the stuff that happened at grumps was like 5 years ago when game grumps was publishing the Dream Daddy game where you play a gay dad that dates other gay dads. Several people under grumps employ found the game to exploitative of LGBT people. Dingdong was pushed to say something about these concerns and when he did the people that were to back him up said nothing and he was left to deal with the fallout.

Here's where we don't have a lot of details but the higher ups in the grumps office took this very personally and it led to dingdong and his partner being grossly mistreated for the duration of their contract. DD was very private despite being in the public eye for a couple years. Someone in the office doxed his personal information on reddit or 4chan leading to his homophobic family being told he was gay while he was still in the closet. Things were so bad that he attempted suicide. Towards the end of the video he says someone in the office said, yeah but if you had succeeded and left a note it would have ruined Arin and Suzy.

Now I'm not a part of the LBGTQ+ community but I am an ally. How does Dream Daddy exploit the community?

I thought it was fairly inoffensive and just kinda a fun dating Sim game?

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]


I would need to know more about their particular grievances to form a really strong, informed opinion.

Again, from my own personal lens (straight white middle aged man) I thought the game was fun and a different lens than I would typically play a dating Sim. I don't think it ever was trying to be deep, thought provoking, or even advertised itself as BEING anything more than a silly dating Sim where you are a gay man.

Can media not be silly and fun if it is part of the LBGTQ+ community? Why is it problematic for this game to be in that community but then in the same breath you have Hunie Pop being a huge success with no backlash?

I won't discredit the feelings of anyone, I'm more intrigued on that particular part of the issue now.

It goes without saying that nobody should have their job and livelihood threatened for speaking their mind about a project... but I would understand getting angry and defensive if I was being accused of exploiting LBGTQ+ people when all I was doing was making a silly dating Sim.

That was just Ding Dong and Julian's opinion on the game. Naturally this rather benign opinion set the Game Grumps fan base into an insane fervor

Heh. I said something similar when ProJared was konfirmed not a pedo, but still getting heat for his relationship with fans, and the only answer I got was "A youtuber is not a rockstar". Then the youtuber who is a rockstar (literally stage named Sexbang) does it and it's still not the same.

Yeah, it's kinda bizarre.

You don't really think about the power dynamic of Fandom and you hook up with a fan? Fuck you terrible person!

You relish in the power dynamic and get cheered for your sexual exploits? Yay Gene Simmons!

Pretty much.

And also the whole stream with Arin saying the N word was almost a decade ago, if not more. I'm not sure how he truly is off the camera these days, but he seems to genuinely be a different person nowadays. I only throw someone into the fire like that if they continue to act like that.

The drawing stream was a year before GameGrumps, the instance of him saying it while playing Zelda was a year later. No instance of anyone saying that word on his own channel or on GameGrumps was ever removed until George Floyd, AFTER he asked his twitter if it would be okay for him to say Black Lives Matter in support. But he still left up Awesome the Hedgehog unedited for some reason.

...don't the OneyPlays people say slurs all the time? And much more recently? This n-word stuff feels like a weird thing for people to be mad about in a thread about supporting OneyPlays guys.

Yes Chris used to say the n word. Though only in the early days. He now avoids it. Chris has improved with time. Arin has not. I think Chris actually understands now that it's not good to say that word. Arin just doesn't say it because he doesn't want to get in trouble

All I know is when asked to pick a side between someone who almost drove a man to suicide, and the guy who stood by that victim and stayed his friend, I'm going to assume the friend is the better person

Plus, Arin grew up in America. He has no excuse to not understanding why the n word is bad. Chris grew up in Ireland where they might not all understand culturally why the n word is bad, when they don't have as much interaction with black people
