I would recommend watching the VODs of DingDong’s most recent streams where he divulges some of his personal and professional fallouts. I don’t recommend watching the BowBlax video, which is 1) largely a compilation of the aforementioned streams and 2) sensationalist and drama-stirring to the point where it was partly the reason for DingDong’s retirement from YT and Twitch.
@@WheresPoochie yeah I saw blowback video and at first I was angry at the grumps but I found out it was very manipulative and he would not respond to Julian wishes and just tried to monetized misinformation and drama
@@ImmaLittlePip Thats how it sounds to me. Its not like you hear Arin or Dan talking about this. They accused them of homophobia, it's ridiculous. I'm not saying Ding Dong is wrong for feeling how he feels but he keeps complaining about digging holes while he's holding the shovel.
Update: In a stream that ended a couple of hours ago, Dingdong said that people approached him to apologize and that it has helped him find closure. He is streaming again. :)
@bellusdaisy maybe it matters because this entire ordeal is about his former coworkers sweeping things under the rug, lying, using him, fabricating false stories and only maintaining positive relationships with him for convenience?
It’s always the funniest guy that goes through the worst shit. Ding Dong made me laugh my ass off both on oney plays and later on when I started watching his content. I’ll miss this guy a lot.
Same, hope him and Julian are doing better, I was there watching the streams where the dude needed to let off a lot of steam. I can't really blame him for what he went through.
@The Meme Man for real, these guys are entertainers but at the end of the day they’re still normal people and parasocial relationships aren’t healthy for either party involved.
i don't care that he isn't streaming anymore. i don't care that he won't be active in the twitch and youtube world, i'm just so happy that he's going to keep creating. I do truly hope both him and julian are able to be successful with their passion in the future and i will be waiting for whatever it is they put out
@@AlzMarioWolfe he's done similar things before. Even if it takes a while, even until Tough Bippy is done, we'll definitely see him again. I'm sure finishing this project will absolutely lift his spirits enough to return, even just for a while.
@@AlzMarioWolfehey it looks like dd's channel is back up and has recently posted a new video, maybe he's making a comeback? And it looks like his twitter account may be active again I hope we can hear from him again
@@hannibal_burgz9164 I don’t see a single thing you’re talking about, his Twitter’s still doing nothing and I can’t find his RUclips channel. That one retweet he has there was always there too
Watching Chris, DD & Julian discuss games & critique them has taught me how to appreciate media better. My analysis of media is so much more nuanced today thanks to watching these funni guys on repeat constantly. Watching DD & Julian be a couple also gave me incredibly confidence about my own sexuality. Media is full of stereotypical gay couples. DD & Julian were so important to me to understand that gay couples can act in a multitude of ways, and that love for a person can be shown in many different ways. Like when DD got upset at Julian for saying something along the lines of: "I'll probably die by the time I'm 35." That's DD expressing his love & appreciation for Julian. Julian's ghost hypothetical during the Pikmin playthrough; His reasoning to stay alive longer was so he could make more cartoons. I think about that a lot. Julian's reason to be on this Earth is to create things; I want to be like that. DD's stance on calling out people's bad behavior, even if "its the internet what do you expect?" DD's stance on cringe culture, and how we should enjoy their content and laugh *with* them, not at them. DD's urge to create anonymously; creating is what's important, not the popularity or clout it gives you. These two have influenced my life in so many positive ways, so much more than just the stereotypical: "You made me laugh when I was depressed!" They've taught me to critique, they've taught me what gay love can look like, they've taught me the importance that creating things has on my life. They've taught me to be kind. I appreciate the time DD & Julian has given to us, and will forever be grateful for them being so honest & real. I do not miss them because they've never left me; their lessons live on in my heart.
Words can not express how much this comment hits home for me. Especially the confidence in my sexuality and learning to appreciate media. What DD said about looking back at what excites you or gives you passion to motivate you is some great advice, especially when you are feeling unmotivated to create. He really has lots of great advice on things that really help out.
I hope BowBlax is very proud of himself. “Helping” a victim by parading him through the street against his will, while collecting a pay check from his distress. What a great guy.
@@TwitterVS Heavily edited to suit your agenda, in addition to ignoring his desire to leave it be, because it caused more harm and stress than good. Justify it all you want, the facts are clear and your true colours are on display forever.
@@nolsee1176 Heavily edited because the original stream itself was lost because of DD himself. If he never wanted any of what he talked about to be public then why did he make a 15 hour stream making it all public ontop of scrubbing the stream so theres only like and hour of footage of it, then complain that people are only posting the hour of footage because of a narrative even though hes the one he deleted the original stream himself?
@@nolsee1176 check my twitter. i made a short thread explaining my side. if you don't believe me after reading that so be it think im evil if it makes you feel better
@@bagamnan9170 Bowblax made a video heavily condensing Ding Dong's stream, cherry picking moments from the stream, to weaponize against Game Grumps. Ding Dong asked him to take down the video (seeing as other content creators on the platform obliged), but Bowblax declined. He think's he's above respecting the wishes of the victims he covers
What work? What have they put out into the world other than being funny on OneyPlays years ago? They've made so much money from their patreon by doing nothing. I don't get it
The worst part about this all is that this dream daddy bullshit meant absolutely nothing and no one even talks about it anymore. These people dragged dingdong and Julian into stupid drama and threw them under the bus. I wish them both the best. I hope people leave them alone from now on Edit: thank you grammar people for correcting my RUclips comment lol.
"Drug" is not a past tense of drag. The word you are looking for is "dragged." I read your comment and thought you said that people gave Dingdong and Julian drugs LOL.
I fucking hate the modern internet. I'm sick and fucking tired of legitimate grievances being blown up by "content" creators trying to hit a metric into some world shaking drama that will destroy whoever I don't like forever. Social media is a disease making all of us mean, terrible human beings in search of a constant drip of dopamine.
Dingdong spread allegations of doxxing, harassment, homophobia, and workplace abuse. But yeah we shouldn’t mention it cause the game grumps studios need to abuse more employees
"Hey these people treated me like shit and I don't support that" *RUclipsR MENTALLY TORTURED BY OTHER RUclipsRS AND PUSHED TO THE LIMIT!! MARKIPLIER RESPONDS?!*
It doesn’t have to be like this though. More people telling things like they are and plainly speaking out about stuff and calling stuff out while not sensationalizing it can help make the internet a bit better
Same, man. I've been a bystander to a lot at this point. It kind of reminds me of how despite everything people kept bringing up Jenna Marbles' old stuff years after the fact, after so many times of her saying she regrets her old content and never once backstepping. But anyway, people just... didn't shut up about it and she decided she was done. I feel like that's the main problem. The internet makes it way too easy for people to not let things go because the information is always accessible, things that *should* be let go.
I had no idea any of this stuff was happening or ever happened. And I still don't care. Thank God Ding Dong took a step back. May these dudes get some peace and quiet. Just imagine the sheer lack of social awareness or colossal level of ineptitude it takes to dig up old shit and constantly remind people of all the trauma they've endured. Ding Dong made the right call, some people just breed and thrive on toxicity. I'm genuinely happy he made this decision. It's hard to make changes and do new things when all you're met with online are, reminders of bad times and the bad situations you made it out of. God speed Ding Dong
That’s the problem the only people who know of the situation are trolls and people trying to get a rise of the situation. Ding Dong seems to be in a double edge sword situation, at least that how he perceives it. Also, people will spin that because he not being upfront about it, so he must not be completely in the right either, even if it’s not a factual indicator. It’s ironic, his vagueness kind planted more seeds of drama then he ever wanted. 😢
The hardest part is feeling like he never got justice, that there was no closure, but that's the thing... Ding Dong doesn't want justice and the ultimate closure will be for Ding Dong and Julian to move on and live their best lives separated from all of this and leaving it in the past. I hope tomorrow Ding Dong wakes up and has a happy day being disconnected from all of this and not having it shoved in his face. I'll have a happy day by not engaging Game Grumps at all or putting this at their feet, in the end they know what they did and so do the people that matter in all of this. I will however indulge myself a bit and join in the chorus of "Fuck Bowblax."
You know. Bowblax started out as a good person who was reporting on stuff that wasn’t getting light on the topics… Now it seems bowblax is trying to be a bigger douche than keemstar and now bowblax hides behind his self diagnosed mental conditions as a shield.
@@gabusdeux oh yes, that's a good clarification. Most large youtube channels like Game Grumps these days are a brand with a team behind them. When I say Game Grumps I refer to the brand and team, I have no malicious will towards Arin or Dan despite not being a very big fan of theirs
I know DD called this stream bleak but the last 15 minutes was the best advocation for being a creator. Making things to show people to make them happy that inspires them to make other stuff that they then share. His vision for this community made me break down. As a musician who also had a close run with suicide a week ago his words ring so true. Lose yourself in your passions. Motivate others' passions. What an absolute pillar of integrity, selflessness, and spirit of the artist. Best of luck and whatever you make will be amazing, because your heart is in the right place.
Indeed, haven't started on the things DD mentioned there. But I am drawing since I enjoy it, and helps me wanna get better at it. Hell, I've been taking commissions on the side so I can bring in some income. Art has been a life saver for me the more I think about it, dunno where I'd be if I didn't.
@@LeudieBlues I found that when I started drawing the literal skeletons of what I was drawing first, that helped me understand and draw anatomy much better. I've moved on to simplified bone sketches now but it was still a huge help.
I've been working on one for five years and I have to say, do it, but unless your art is incredibly good or nsfw to some degree, twitter is the worst place to post it. I feel like I partially wasted five years.
It's honestly disgusting what Bowblax did to Ding Dong, forcing a victim of abuse off of the internet while claiming to be "helping" them. Vile and greedy behavior. Here's to holding z-tier TMZ accountable for his action
@@tevineleven11yeah but yet youtube won’t do jack about it cause their report system is sht and its a hassle to find their contact info (especially if you don’t use platforms such as twitter, insta, etc) But yeah it sucks the video isn’t taken down.
You guys have wayyy too much sympathy for ding dong. He went on a stream and vented about workplace abuse, bowblax reported on it, he gets mad that someone amplified his signal. Guys if i was bowblax i would’ve done the exact same, if you listen to the shit ding dong was saying you would report it too if you genuinely cared about ding dong. just cause ding dong regrets his decision for going on a PUBLIC PLATFORM and told a story for EVERYONE TO HEAR, doesn’t make him a piece of shit for reporting on it. idgaf if ding dong said not too, if he didn’t want it reported he should’ve never spoke on it. idk why you think victims still can’t get held acccountable for their own actions
I appreciate you DD. I first learned of you and Julian from OneyPlays and was ecstatic when y'all did OneyStays. Y'all got me through some wild times. Somewhere along the way, years ago, I heard murmurs of the Dream Daddy situation and I only learned the full story a few weeks ago. I made the mistake a few weeks ago of trying to turn a bad situation (e.g., a drama channel uploading clips of your livestream out of context) into some kind of justice-seeking crusade by educating others not in-the-know that "GG are scum", and for that I am sorry. I will never bring up those stories or trying to "seek justice" from here on if it means that you get to spend the rest of your life (and Julian's life, too) doing what you love, in peace. You've done more than enough. God bless and God speed to both of you. I wish you well. Thank you.
Like many other ding dong fans, I had no idea any of this was going on and it really is heartbreaking to hear. Obviously I don't know the guy personally, but he has always struck me as such an honest and genuine dude and it really does seem like people like him always have to deal with the hardest bullshit in life. I wish him and Julian the very best in life and hope they have many years of creating things they enjoy in the future ❤
For real, i had a vague idea that there was some kind of "drama" going on like, 4 years ago. Its shitty to know it somehow remained drama, and has cause dingdong and Julian so much trouble. I still don't even understand exactly what happened.
@@xXRickTrolledXx very true, what hurts the most to here is "if justice is what you wanted that ship has sailed" and him talking about how sketchy it is that people only care now. A lot of people only know now. A lot of people want justice bc to them this is the first time it's brought to light. I understand his feelings and I respect his wishes but it hurts to be forced into passivity.
1:10:55 I feel like people need this link more than anything else This injection of inspiration, to just try and do something you are passionate about Thank you Ding Dong, it feels so good to write again and to just create, and if it can help just one person, than it’s all worth it
@@callofthehackfraud3427 I think at this point, the answer is will it even be worth it to “come back” id rather this be something they willingly want to engage in rather than begrudgingly returning and being even slightly as uncomfortable as they were now if it doesn’t positively benefit them mentally, id rather not see them back there are other mentally disheveled content creators that refuse to leave their respective sites, we don’t need another 1-2
Probably my two favorite YT personalities of all - time. Listening to the old Oneyplays with those two and Chris seriously got me through one of the worst years of my life. Stupid funny, and its been a pleasure following their creative pursuits ever since. Hate that they went through all of this, but it might be a blessing in disguise. The internet, social media, its absolute misery.
The Oneyplays YIIK letsplay is the most significant piece of media that has been made this millennium. Would have been impossible without DingDong and Julian. I'd like to thank them for that, for countless other hours of entertainment, and sincerely wish them the very best.
hearing that dingdong wanted to end his life is so heartbreaking. this whole situation just shows how shitty some people can be and that you can't put your trust in just anyone. also hearing him say that people came to visit only to ask about drama is also so sad...its just all people think about. i really hope he and julian will be okay. this whole situation sucks ass.
I know people will focus on the negative, which I can't blame cause it's a shitty situation, but it's sweet that at the end of it DingDong's promoting creativity and for everyone to follow their passions, to try to bolster some positivity on the internet. I'll strive to be more creative this year.
DD sounded like we was at the verge of tears at the end. I genuinely do feel terrible for both him and Julian, and what they had to go through. I'm super glad that they're moving on from this drama and are both working on Bippy which looks really good. I don't think they'll ever read this, but I say to them good luck with your future endeavors to both of you people.
Tbh I didn't even know the vast majority of this stuff was going on or how deep the rabbit hole goes until somewhat recently, but while I'll miss him as Ding Dong I know that he'll be in a healthier situation that can improve over time. I wanna give my sympathies to both Ding Dong and Julian, as well as... I'm not sure how to put this - congratulations or thank you - to Julian for keeping him going in life and being supportive and all, especially when it got to a dangerous point. It especially means a lot to me for someone to do that because I myself have been to that point [a couple times actually] but I'm glad that there were people that kept me alive and just were there for me even when they had their own problems. I wish you both the best and hope that you can live both healthier and happier lives.
I love Ding Dong and Julian. The genuineness and passion they share is beyond anyone I've seen in the industry and they are way too good for that shit hole. I hope this is finally the end of this and I hope they'll be comfortable to come back into the public light some day. Their views and positivity is a nice contrast to whatever else you see on the internet. I don't know how they are doing now since I've also been detoxing from internet, but I hope they are doing well. I hope this is the year we get better, all of us.
When you're just a common guy browsing the internet and come across a video like this out of nowhere and start feeling bad for some figures that you enjoyed watching
I’ve been a fan of ding dong and Julian since 2018. I remember back in 2019 when they finished the entire KH2 play through with Oney they mentioned that DD and Julian were moving to Canada. I felt sad because they weren’t going to be on the channel anymore but I was happy for them. They genuinely made me laugh so hard and they helped me get through a lot because of their humor. 4 years later seeing this livestream of DD really breaks my heart. Both him and Julian deserve so much love and support in the world. Despite everything they went through together you can tell they’re trying to keep themselves positive despite everything and they’re very respectful, sincere and discreet individuals even to the people that screwed them over.
I wish only success and happiness for both DD and Julian. I'm sure that when Bippy (or any other project from them) comes out, it'll do well, and I'll be there to see it.
This honestly is the most defeated man I've ever seen, and it truly is heartbreaking. A man speaks his qualms and some scumbag comes in and exploits and bastardize his wish for money. These people have no standards or morals.
Hope Ding Dong and Julian are doing well, its unfortunate all this had happened over the years but glad that they're moving on. Enjoyed these two alongside Oney a while back, and they helped me get through some tough times.
You may do. I’m sure at some point we will all be in a similar position of Julian or Ding Ding (meaning someone being harassed or you being harassed yourself). I have a few times in both sides, and what really tests my own character and the character of my “friends” or real friends is how they act.
When I hear stuff like this it makes me wish I had a stupid amount of money so I could just fund their project and send them on a vacation to just get away from it all and not have to be stressed about all this
Idk if DD will see this, but his advice to make 2023 your year I took and still am taking to heart, honestly. I'm going to make this the year I finally do something for myself and get out of retail and fast food for good, or for at least for a good while. A show I watch and has inspired me to get into animation has recently asked for character designers (I'm sure anyone who follows OP knows it's Smiling Friends) and I applied to it to finally get my feet wet in the animation industry. I also recently got a Stratocaster from my grandfather and am finally gonna learn how to play. My biggest dream is to direct a TV show and form a band, so I'm making my first steps here and now. Even if I don't get accepted into the character designer team, nor if I barely learn a single note on guitar this year, DD's words have inspired me to still make it my year regardless, to still do whatever I can to make my dreams come true. I won't share my opinions on the matter - I have my own thoughts, but it's clear he doesn't want anything more to come out of it and wants to leave this situation behind for good (and I'm probably not too informed anyways and I'm only working with what I have) - but I will say it just hurts seeing good people getting hurt. I hope things can settle down for him and Julian moving forward and they can focus on what they're passionate about. Thank you for all the laughs and happiness DD. While I wish I had seen more of you and followed you on Twitch, I can tell you from both OP and watching Julian's streams you've made a more positive mark on the internet that you might think. Don't let that be pity to go back to these things though, use your fair judgement and give yourself what you want.
Man I’m gonna miss ding dong and Julian, I found them through oneyplays and loved catching their streams every so often. I didn’t know any of this happened until recently. They didn’t deserve any of the stuff that happens to them. I hope their game goes well and I hope they can live their lives in peace from now on. Much love to Ding Dong and Julian
Even if we don't know all the details, we know and love DingDong. He is funny, smart, level-headed, and stable. The reason why people have been so angry about this is because we know it would take a lot to push him to nearly end his own life. I really like DingDong and Julian and hope they both can find the peace they deserve.
Listening to this all and how they were treated from people who backed them and everything was an actual shock, I haven't caught up with the these two since they left cause I always assumed "they're doing their own thing all good best of luck" then I got the video in my recommendations about all this and listening to this about they were treated and been through all this was a massive shock and do hope they take as long as they need to get everything together and heal from all this. Im sure I got some things wrong in my comment but still the same thing, I hope the two of them take as long as they need to from all of this. God speed to these two great guys.
This whole situation made me realize just how toxic the drama community can be. It really made me reevaluate how I respond to the welfare of others and to think more critically about why drama youtubers do what they do especially when they claim to be doing so out of the goodness of their heart. I really do believe the drama blew up only recently because there was no risk in outing the Game Grumps since their public image has deteriorated drastically since 2017. It's the whole situation of "OOH NOW I HAVE A VALID REASON TO HATE THIS GUY." Now that DD is calling that out, those same people who claimed to be helping him are now villainizing him for denying their cheap attempts to be good Samaritans without thinking critically about the situation beforehand. These people saw an opportunity to capitalize on someone else's suffering they each wanted to be the first do do so. To them, DD is not a human, he is capital to be exploited. I've since learned to ask "if there was no chance of making money off of this, would these people still be 'helping out of the goodness of their heart'?"
The whole commentary community in general is awful. They never cared for the "truth" or anything. They just tell half truths and plausible lies than (un)intentionally send their viewers to harass others for the "truth" or send them on a crusade.
The way people get so mad at Arin over petty shit like not liking a video game that they use someone else's suffering just to rant more at him instead of feeling bad for the victim is also gross.
I wish Ding Dong and Julian could see some of these messages. I totally understand the need to step away and I fully support their decision to do so. I genuinely hope they find happiness.
Yknow what I’ve learned listening to this? Audiences are really REALLY unhealthy. I’m sorry but when I watch someone online, I’m not supposed to know their relationship status. I’m not supposed to know their sexual preference or the friends they like or the friends they hate or them cheating on their spouse or other creators they beef with. The separation between creator and watcher has become so crazily thin the past few decades, and it’s a real problem. Young people thinking they have a connection to cartoonists or let’s players or anyone who makes things on their internet screens? I hope I don’t sound like an old fogey or anything here. But damn are people in the world so unhappy with themselves that they choose to live their lives obsessing over some youtuber and their personal business? Maybe an oversimplification but… damn. Why can’t people just watch creators and move on?
Be they indie or big name, there are tons of creators who like to foster a "family" with their audience, and who speak to them like they're friends, exposing all sorts of sensitive details of their life, relationships, and personal struggles. I think, for some audiences, that sets an expectation of how they'll interact with everyone. That's just one reason, though, there are plenty more out there.
Keep in mind million subscriber corporate channels like Game Grumps know this thinning line and exploit it ever so much for profit and keeping a squeaky clean image that they can deflect any criticism with, especially since they attract a younger crowd.
“If you wanna persue the cartoon, go ahead. But let the human being step away.” We’ll miss you DD. But thank you for the memories and I pray you and Julian have happy times from here out.
I hate that such an interesting and good person like Ding Dong had to go through all this shit. I loved all his takes and retro game trivia. I will miss that, but I'm glad he's stepping away from the internet and hopefully him and Julian can get some peace. Some people are truly terrible and mentally unwell, and just hate to see others succeed. Misery loves company.
I just hope and pray that Ding Dong and Juilen will be happy. To those who are potentially begging them to come back or hating on them for God only knows why, just leave them alone. They don't want this internet stuff anymore, they just wanna live their lives and that's it.
Was always excited when I was free and saw DD streaming. Loved to chill and hear him and Joolian talk. Disappointed it went this way, but "reality is what it is." If I knew them, I could help more, but even so I pray that they'll find more peace with this decision. Godspeed, Wan Wan.
DD really inspires me when he talks. Its so easy to get stuck in that mire of drama YT and sensationalism that you forget that the people behind it are people. I also really like that bit at the end where he encourages people to create a work of art get into the things they wanna do. I'm going to try this year to make something special 😌
i hope things get better for both of them, they really deserve it. i hope they can find peace and continue to make video games and do things that make them happy, and i hope they know that we understand the decision to separate themselves from this stuff. they genuinely deserve nothing but the best
If Ding Dong and Julian somehow ever see this comment: I love you guys. You're good dudes and one of the most adorable couples. The videos you were in really helped me througg some very, very dark times that I almost didn't make it through. I hope you're doing better and having a better life. You two deserve happiness so much.
I remember looking into this stuff years ago, not long after dream daddy came out. It's crazy to me that even after basically exiling themselves from anything that wasn't Blippy related, they were still dealing with the drama. All just because they felt like their community was being fethishied by people who were not part of that community, and they felt like they should say something instead of staying silent. They deserve nothing but a happy and quiet life, hopefully they can get that soon. Shoutout to Ding Dong and Julian!
I genuinely hope DD sees the support that I’ve been seeing and reading because we are here for him! like I want him to go out knowing he’s still got some randos that appreciated his presence and hope things get better o7
It really does suck. Dingdong was always my favourite member of Oneyplays. Heck, probably one of my favourite people on the internet. But in retrospect I kinda wish he never was on Oneyplays, and instead just making games
I empathize with this quite a lot. Having gone through a few traumatic events myself in the past few years, all I want to do is focus on making things. And I haven't been able to. It's an endless chase for stability. I'm currently unable to do what I love and it fucking sucks. Godspeed, DingDong.
I went through a similar situation with a group of ex-friends around the same time frame. Working for people who were covert narcissist for many years drove me mad in many ways where it broke me as well. Watching lets plays did help me get through those times and ngl, was really into the Julian and DD era. It pains me to know they went through all this and I really wish the best for the both of you. It truly is good that you are moving on, because I get it. Los Angeles is just... this brand of toxicity that permeates all throughout. Stay strong, be positive, and love life despite for what it is.
It sucks that nobody really got the justice they deserved, but that’s already happened long ago for DD and Julian when they just wanna have a good life now. It’s already happened and nothing fixes that so the real only option is to move on. I hope to see the both of them and the people they put their faith in continue to make the world a better place
As someone said on another video: No heroes. Even Oney as implied by DingDong to have contributed negatively to the situations mentioned. It's so weird how people are making up narratives to create sides because of their dislike for others.
It’s a shame things had to go the way they did in the past and even now but I’m glad DD and Julien aren’t letting this controversy cloud their lives anymore and are taking the steps that are best for themselves to recover and move forward. I wish the best for them going forward, it may not be perfect and most likely there will be bumps along the way but at least they have each other and it’s a start for retaking their lives. Until then I’ll be sharpening my tomahawks until Tough Bippy or anything they’re working on drops.
Sometimes I wonder if people like DD can understand how much joy they are able to bring to people. Honestly, DD garners much more joy than negativity. I discovered him and Julian on OneyPlays when I was a freshman and going through a very bad abusive situation with my church, but I could always rely on him, Chris, and Julian to have me rolling in my bed laughing despite it all. I just wish there was a way he could understand that. But I get it. Coming from a childhood background similar to what he talks about, I completely understand the borderline emotional masochism mixed with this feeling of wanting to hide, become nothing, never be perceived again.
Man I would catch ding dong streams every once in a blue moon but I only discovered him around 2019 2020. Such fond memories watching ding dong and Julian on oneyplays during lockdown. I hope the best for him, whatever happened. There are a lot of evil people sometimes I don't even think they are the same type of human as myself. but I have a feeling he dealt with some scuffed ass people. I'll say it again though out of all the let's play people I find oneyplays to be the most genuine and it was always a treat when ding dong & julian were on an episode.. I started watching game grumps in 2016 and I'll still watch their stuff they had some really good let's plays and I also around the same time of finding oneyplays I found super-mega but super-mega is the only one that change to the point I'm not into their vibes as much as I was during 2019.
Yeah, I've been watching some of the Vinesauce crew on my end. So far they've been pretty much pretty fun to watch, life is stressful enough so I need something to help relax to.
Man just a few days ago I was thinking about how much I missed DD and Julian. And now I find this a little too late since I rarely log into twitch. They'll always be my favorite boys, I hope I get to hear from them again, but it's probably a selfish wish...
I’m so frightened of how I’m gonna make it in the art world when stuff like this happens. I wish games and art and creative work can just exist and be enjoyed and made without needless hurt. I adore dd and Julian’s work and I hope they’re able to do what they enjoy
The thing is game grumps or a company like that is corporate, like a lot of million plus subscriber channels. The “artistry” and fun behind it is completely gone because the whole reason this issue happened to DD was because of money and the fear of tarnishing a creators brand. The people that were silencing and gaslighting them were only concerned about their profits. They are not artists they are businessmen looking to make the most money off RUclips.
Still kinda wanna hug ding dong. I really wish them nothing but the best going foreward, and not even more bullshit happens. See ya around, ding dong. ❤
Chris and Julian are definitely still friends, it just seems like DD just wants to be left alone. Julian will probably come back to oneys, but DD....I hope he just finds peace.
@@caleviwin From what I know Julian is much more hesitant than DD. Julian has said being in the public eye was a horrible experience for him and he only appeared on Oneyplays to support DD.
If DD & J ever read this. Aside from all drama, please remember. I do love you (you know, not in the creepy way). You have been there in some dark times of mine. I love your humor and your realness. 58:54 This moment hit me hard (I don't know if you have been listening to The Bends hehe), but ironically I've been saying this for a while myself. I just started therapy, turns out I have social anxiety, but in these awful times, I get glimmers of hope. Deeply thank you. Hopefully you can come back to the internet someday in better times and just blog away, just share life. Enjoying life is better than being in the limelight.
When I heard Ding Dong say on stream that everyone uploading vods was doing it in bad faith, it made me incredibly sad, and really soured me on him. Not all of us have the chance to catch everything live, and a lot of great streams from many creators are simply lost to the ether. But unless you're hosting a private or paid stream, someone uploading it is not necessarily in bad faith. I realized then he's kind of been stuck in a weird, pseudo-terminally online headspace. I know part of his issues come from people like those on drama RUclips (more recently) and folks at places like rantgrumps, but there's been long stretches where, other than I guess his stream audience, the drama has been quiet. On that same stream I realized how many word filters and what not they had in place, and by that I mean I mentioned yiik (because literally the game character was having an Alex yiik moment), and both that and the aforementioned shit really made me stop trying to catch his streams. Guy really shouldn't be streaming at all, except maybe privately to his patreons, or in subscriber mode. A long time ago I asked him if he minded people uploading streams onto archive, and be said he did, and gave a weak reason, but it was his reason, and I respected it and haven't ever done so. But almost all of the streams I've seen of his have been re-uploads, since he terminally deletes shit or doesnt keep vods. It all just comes off as someone who feels compelled to stream despite the fact it seems to hurt them mentally. Like sure, they may enjoy some of the discussion in the moment, but it feels like they regret doing it, and don't want to be a streamer, rather someone just hanging out, playing games, and talking. But that's not how the internet works. Frankly it's really never been that way since the mass inception of streaming in the mid 00s.
I understand it's frustrating to miss a stream, I've felt the same way, but it's honestly not that deep either, and it's not cool that you're writing paragraphs like these, projecting a lot with "it comes off as" and "it seems like". He talked about this and his stance on streams and "media preservation". These streams are supposed to be a thing of the moment, like when you're hanging out with a person. You wouldn't say "Hey, let's record this meet-up so other folks can watch it again and again." And yeah, him saying "Everyone uploading VODs is doing it in bad faith" is a bit harsh, but then again not really, as he went on record several times telling people that he doesn't want people to do that. Maybe it's not "bad faith", but it's at least a disrespectful thing to do. When you tell people to not do something, and they do it anyway and start saying that YOU are in the wrong for getting annoyed by it... that's pretty backwards. Plus, see 31:13 I know you don't mean harm, but this is just some dude that doesn't even know you exist, and you really shouldn't put this much thought and effort into the situation.
im sad i never got to be around as much when ding dong was making content cuz now a lot of stuff's been wiped and i really liked what i did get to see but id miss out on the full experience a thousand times over if it meant him and julian got to live the life they wanted. i just hope theyre in a better place financially, emotionally, etc etc. even if we never see the face behind the games again, it makes me happy knowing hes come out the other side of all of it still cherishing whats really important: the people who truely care for him, and his passion to create. godspeed dd 🙏
It's 3:23AM (3:44AM upon posting) where I'm at, I've been watching OneyPlays comps all day. I enjoy the long ones and the short ones. I watched DingDong and Julian's pumpkin carving streams and Halloween stream where Julian beat Luigi's Mansion and watched commercials. That's my favorite game. I've spent a lot of time listening to them for many years and I sure as hell don't see myself ditching them. I do see certain things about DingDong and Julian that I can relate with to a degree, but I could not EVEN imagine what kind of anxiety whatever happened brought upon. My heart sunk when I saw this videos thumbnail. I'm too scared to go past the 6 second mark on this VOD. Maybe another time, but the thing I want to emphasize above everything is that I have a lot of anxiety and I have for a long time. My goto guys were always around one way or another. They make me happy. And now i'm sad. But maybe when I go to bed, and wake up, and start up a VOD or LP at 11 AM, I'll be happy again. Because that's how it usually goes And it goes without saying; Thank you Ding Dong and Julian.
I cry because of how much I genuinely empathize. Keep yourselves safe and healthy, From one man in a relationship to another, I would protect my partner at all costs. That's just how it goes.
Genuinely hoping for you to find ways to get better soon and either beat anxiety or learn to cope with it better! I absolutely understand what you mean and I've been there too but it's precisely because of that that I know that listening to VODs and compilations can be like a drug to "run away from it all". That won't work forever, especially in cases like these when real life problems hit the people in those videos. Easier said than done, I know and I'm sure you tried already. Life's a bitch. But sincerely, from the bottom of my heart, I hope you keep trying and that you will get better. And that watching videos is going to become an occassional fun time, not something you do all day...
DingDong's request got to me, he may never get justice but I do hope his dream of people playing a game and giving their genuine opinion on it. He is right about RUclips, its not all about drama its a weird set up where it pushes videos that you "commonly watch" "So many people have been trying to tear things down that I hope we can start building new things" me too, funni scream alien.
This honestly makes me so sad for Ding Dong and Julian, like i want to cry. He's made me laugh so much, it really does hurt hearing him like this. I hope DingDong can find a way to make his games and content and be content and happy with his life i really do. I know he probably wont see this but if you do DingDong i'm sorry for all the bullshit you had to put up with, and i truly wish you all the best.
@@jounshon whats the big deal? he’s choosing to stream on his own volition, it’s not like people are forcing him to. maybe he just wants to stream again, silly
@@jounshon brother hes the one that came back, if he wanted to go away forever he very easily could have, he said his piece and people respected it and supported him, now we get to support him all over again
Seeing dingdong and Julian being hurt by the internet again and again is so sad, they’re so nice and funny but it’s understandable that they want to go again, I hope there’s a way to keep up with anything they’re willing to put up in the future
Man, this sucks. Dingdong and Julien are fun to see/listen too. I'm still gonna enjoy all their oneyplays stuff. I don't even care about Gamegrumps or anything, I just hope these two are ok. Even if they're not around anymore.
The best thing people can do for DD and Julian is to drop the drama and investigations. DD and Julian are very private people and they hate drama. If no one talked about DD and Julian again they both would be very happy.
@Iron Man if they are private people who hate drama, why do they keep engaging with drama and divulging "what went on behind the scenes"? would be better to just drop it altogether if you don't want people talking about
@@teriyaki_chicken I never said DD and Julian were smart. They kinda self-sabotage themselves, but we love them so it's best to respect their wishes to not continue drama.
@@RealLifeIronMan I've seen a million content creators put out this holier than though attitude only for it to be revealed years later that they tried to keep it under wraps because they somehow twisted the situation to suit their narrative or they did stuff that was far worse.
@@teriyaki_chicken they tried and yet people talk about it to them anyway and they try to explain factually without it wanting to be drama and then others spin it into drama anyway, that was something they were perhaps too naive about with the internet but learned that now.

I just wanted to see a guy who made me laugh make things he cared about and share it on the internet. :( I didn't need a window into his life I just wanted to appreciate him as a creator. Im so sad this is how he was treated.
bless Julian, if one thing I can take from this is saving one human is like saving all of humanity. and ding dong bless you for being the bigger being.
Can i get a TL;DR on the situation?
No Marquez, to do so would go against the whole point of the stream. You should really listen to the whole thing, even if it's not in one sitting.
@@BradRLee chill out, you act like this dude did something
I would recommend watching the VODs of DingDong’s most recent streams where he divulges some of his personal and professional fallouts.
I don’t recommend watching the BowBlax video, which is 1) largely a compilation of the aforementioned streams and 2) sensationalist and drama-stirring to the point where it was partly the reason for DingDong’s retirement from YT and Twitch.
@@WheresPoochie yeah I saw blowback video and at first I was angry at the grumps but I found out it was very manipulative and he would not respond to Julian wishes and just tried to monetized misinformation and drama
@@ImmaLittlePip Thats how it sounds to me. Its not like you hear Arin or Dan talking about this. They accused them of homophobia, it's ridiculous.
I'm not saying Ding Dong is wrong for feeling how he feels but he keeps complaining about digging holes while he's holding the shovel.
Update: In a stream that ended a couple of hours ago, Dingdong said that people approached him to apologize and that it has helped him find closure. He is streaming again. :)
This was 6 months ago and I apologize for replying just now but do you know who apologized? If not it's alright I just want DD okay :(
@@poolsidelake3467 why does it matter to you? you knowing does not making him okay. the best thing to do honestly is not prod and pry for information
@bellusdaisy maybe it matters because this entire ordeal is about his former coworkers sweeping things under the rug, lying, using him, fabricating false stories and only maintaining positive relationships with him for convenience?
@@poolsidelake3467Im going to make a wide assumption and say given context clues and timing, i think it's probably Matt and Ryan from supermega
It’s always the funniest guy that goes through the worst shit. Ding Dong made me laugh my ass off both on oney plays and later on when I started watching his content. I’ll miss this guy a lot.
Perfectly put
Same, hope him and Julian are doing better, I was there watching the streams where the dude needed to let off a lot of steam. I can't really blame him for what he went through.
@The Meme Man for real, these guys are entertainers but at the end of the day they’re still normal people and parasocial relationships aren’t healthy for either party involved.
For real he was one of the funniest for sure he doesn’t deserve this :(
Yeah... He was honestly why I watched Oneyplays
i don't care that he isn't streaming anymore. i don't care that he won't be active in the twitch and youtube world, i'm just so happy that he's going to keep creating. I do truly hope both him and julian are able to be successful with their passion in the future and i will be waiting for whatever it is they put out

Watching Chris, DD & Julian discuss games & critique them has taught me how to appreciate media better. My analysis of media is so much more nuanced today thanks to watching these funni guys on repeat constantly.
Watching DD & Julian be a couple also gave me incredibly confidence about my own sexuality. Media is full of stereotypical gay couples. DD & Julian were so important to me to understand that gay couples can act in a multitude of ways, and that love for a person can be shown in many different ways. Like when DD got upset at Julian for saying something along the lines of: "I'll probably die by the time I'm 35." That's DD expressing his love & appreciation for Julian.
Julian's ghost hypothetical during the Pikmin playthrough; His reasoning to stay alive longer was so he could make more cartoons. I think about that a lot. Julian's reason to be on this Earth is to create things; I want to be like that.
DD's stance on calling out people's bad behavior, even if "its the internet what do you expect?"
DD's stance on cringe culture, and how we should enjoy their content and laugh *with* them, not at them.
DD's urge to create anonymously; creating is what's important, not the popularity or clout it gives you.
These two have influenced my life in so many positive ways, so much more than just the stereotypical: "You made me laugh when I was depressed!"
They've taught me to critique, they've taught me what gay love can look like, they've taught me the importance that creating things has on my life.
They've taught me to be kind.
I appreciate the time DD & Julian has given to us, and will forever be grateful for them being so honest & real.
I do not miss them because they've never left me; their lessons live on in my heart.
that was beautiful man
Words can not express how much this comment hits home for me. Especially the confidence in my sexuality and learning to appreciate media. What DD said about looking back at what excites you or gives you passion to motivate you is some great advice, especially when you are feeling unmotivated to create. He really has lots of great advice on things that really help out.
@@VelvaPandy he is a smart man
@@nachosNipples He really is. That's why I hope he knows that he has inspired lots of people with what he has said.

Wait what happened?

@@nolsee1176 Heavily edited because the original stream itself was lost because of DD himself. If he never wanted any of what he talked about to be public then why did he make a 15 hour stream making it all public ontop of scrubbing the stream so theres only like and hour of footage of it, then complain that people are only posting the hour of footage because of a narrative even though hes the one he deleted the original stream himself?

Never heard of dream daddy. Sounds stupid and gay.
I fucking hate the modern internet. I'm sick and fucking tired of legitimate grievances being blown up by "content" creators trying to hit a metric into some world shaking drama that will destroy whoever I don't like forever. Social media is a disease making all of us mean, terrible human beings in search of a constant drip of dopamine.
sucks to see it tbh. people now just want drama 24/7 and want someone to put the blame on which would be GG as a whole.
Dingdong spread allegations of doxxing, harassment, homophobia, and workplace abuse. But yeah we shouldn’t mention it cause the game grumps studios need to abuse more employees
"Hey these people treated me like shit and I don't support that"
*RUclipsR MENTALLY TORTURED BY OTHER RUclipsRS AND PUSHED TO THE LIMIT!! MARKIPLIER RESPONDS?!*
It doesn’t have to be like this though. More people telling things like they are and plainly speaking out about stuff and calling stuff out while not sensationalizing it can help make the internet a bit better
Same, man. I've been a bystander to a lot at this point. It kind of reminds me of how despite everything people kept bringing up Jenna Marbles' old stuff years after the fact, after so many times of her saying she regrets her old content and never once backstepping. But anyway, people just... didn't shut up about it and she decided she was done.
I feel like that's the main problem. The internet makes it way too easy for people to not let things go because the information is always accessible, things that *should* be let go.
I had no idea any of this stuff was happening or ever happened. And I still don't care. Thank God Ding Dong took a step back. May these dudes get some peace and quiet. Just imagine the sheer lack of social awareness or colossal level of ineptitude it takes to dig up old shit and constantly remind people of all the trauma they've endured. Ding Dong made the right call, some people just breed and thrive on toxicity. I'm genuinely happy he made this decision. It's hard to make changes and do new things when all you're met with online are, reminders of bad times and the bad situations you made it out of. God speed Ding Dong
That’s the problem the only people who know of the situation are trolls and people trying to get a rise of the situation. Ding Dong seems to be in a double edge sword situation, at least that how he perceives it. Also, people will spin that because he not being upfront about it, so he must not be completely in the right either, even if it’s not a factual indicator. It’s ironic, his vagueness kind planted more seeds of drama then he ever wanted. 😢
Yeah I can't blame him. Especially since he stated years ago he wasn't in the best of health or headspace. Man had trauma and that does shit to you.
The hardest part is feeling like he never got justice, that there was no closure, but that's the thing... Ding Dong doesn't want justice and the ultimate closure will be for Ding Dong and Julian to move on and live their best lives separated from all of this and leaving it in the past.
I hope tomorrow Ding Dong wakes up and has a happy day being disconnected from all of this and not having it shoved in his face.
I'll have a happy day by not engaging Game Grumps at all or putting this at their feet, in the end they know what they did and so do the people that matter in all of this.
I will however indulge myself a bit and join in the chorus of "Fuck Bowblax."
You know. Bowblax started out as a good person who was reporting on stuff that wasn’t getting light on the topics…
Now it seems bowblax is trying to be a bigger douche than keemstar and now bowblax hides behind his self diagnosed mental conditions as a shield.

I know DD called this stream bleak but the last 15 minutes was the best advocation for being a creator. Making things to show people to make them happy that inspires them to make other stuff that they then share. His vision for this community made me break down. As a musician who also had a close run with suicide a week ago his words ring so true. Lose yourself in your passions. Motivate others' passions. What an absolute pillar of integrity, selflessness, and spirit of the artist. Best of luck and whatever you make will be amazing, because your heart is in the right place.

Indeed, haven't started on the things DD mentioned there. But I am drawing since I enjoy it, and helps me wanna get better at it. Hell, I've been taking commissions on the side so I can bring in some income. Art has been a life saver for me the more I think about it, dunno where I'd be if I didn't.

You guys have wayyy too much sympathy for ding dong. He went on a stream and vented about workplace abuse, bowblax reported on it, he gets mad that someone amplified his signal.
Guys if i was bowblax i would’ve done the exact same, if you listen to the shit ding dong was saying you would report it too if you genuinely cared about ding dong. just cause ding dong regrets his decision for going on a PUBLIC PLATFORM and told a story for EVERYONE TO HEAR, doesn’t make him a piece of shit for reporting on it. idgaf if ding dong said not too, if he didn’t want it reported he should’ve never spoke on it. idk why you think victims still can’t get held acccountable for their own actions
@@ulysses9745 LOL
At least Julian still streams from time to time and from him we know that DD is feeling better, still I don't blame him from not wanting to comeback.
I appreciate you DD. I first learned of you and Julian from OneyPlays and was ecstatic when y'all did OneyStays. Y'all got me through some wild times. Somewhere along the way, years ago, I heard murmurs of the Dream Daddy situation and I only learned the full story a few weeks ago.
I made the mistake a few weeks ago of trying to turn a bad situation (e.g., a drama channel uploading clips of your livestream out of context) into some kind of justice-seeking crusade by educating others not in-the-know that "GG are scum", and for that I am sorry.
I will never bring up those stories or trying to "seek justice" from here on if it means that you get to spend the rest of your life (and Julian's life, too) doing what you love, in peace. You've done more than enough.
God bless and God speed to both of you. I wish you well. Thank you.
Like many other ding dong fans, I had no idea any of this was going on and it really is heartbreaking to hear. Obviously I don't know the guy personally, but he has always struck me as such an honest and genuine dude and it really does seem like people like him always have to deal with the hardest bullshit in life. I wish him and Julian the very best in life and hope they have many years of creating things they enjoy in the future ❤
For real, i had a vague idea that there was some kind of "drama" going on like, 4 years ago. Its shitty to know it somehow remained drama, and has cause dingdong and Julian so much trouble. I still don't even understand exactly what happened.
@@xXRickTrolledXx very true, what hurts the most to here is "if justice is what you wanted that ship has sailed" and him talking about how sketchy it is that people only care now.

Hate that they went through all of this, but it might be a blessing in disguise. The internet, social media, its absolute misery.

The Oneyplays YIIK letsplay is the most significant piece of media that has been made this millennium. Would have been impossible without DingDong and Julian. I'd like to thank them for that, for countless other hours of entertainment, and sincerely wish them the very best.
DD and Julian genuinely deserve the world, wishing nothing but the very best for them going forward💖
hearing that dingdong wanted to end his life is so heartbreaking. this whole situation just shows how shitty some people can be and that you can't put your trust in just anyone. also hearing him say that people came to visit only to ask about drama is also so sad...its just all people think about.
i really hope he and julian will be okay. this whole situation sucks ass.
I know people will focus on the negative, which I can't blame cause it's a shitty situation, but it's sweet that at the end of it DingDong's promoting creativity and for everyone to follow their passions, to try to bolster some positivity on the internet. I'll strive to be more creative this year.
DD sounded like we was at the verge of tears at the end. I genuinely do feel terrible for both him and Julian, and what they had to go through. I'm super glad that they're moving on from this drama and are both working on Bippy which looks really good. I don't think they'll ever read this, but I say to them good luck with your future endeavors to both of you people.
Tbh I didn't even know the vast majority of this stuff was going on or how deep the rabbit hole goes until somewhat recently, but while I'll miss him as Ding Dong I know that he'll be in a healthier situation that can improve over time. I wanna give my sympathies to both Ding Dong and Julian, as well as... I'm not sure how to put this - congratulations or thank you - to Julian for keeping him going in life and being supportive and all, especially when it got to a dangerous point. It especially means a lot to me for someone to do that because I myself have been to that point [a couple times actually] but I'm glad that there were people that kept me alive and just were there for me even when they had their own problems.
I wish you both the best and hope that you can live both healthier and happier lives.
I love Ding Dong and Julian. The genuineness and passion they share is beyond anyone I've seen in the industry and they are way too good for that shit hole. I hope this is finally the end of this and I hope they'll be comfortable to come back into the public light some day. Their views and positivity is a nice contrast to whatever else you see on the internet. I don't know how they are doing now since I've also been detoxing from internet, but I hope they are doing well. I hope this is the year we get better, all of us.
When you're just a common guy browsing the internet and come across a video like this out of nowhere and start feeling bad for some figures that you enjoyed watching
I’ve been a fan of ding dong and Julian since 2018. I remember back in 2019 when they finished the entire KH2 play through with Oney they mentioned that DD and Julian were moving to Canada. I felt sad because they weren’t going to be on the channel anymore but I was happy for them. They genuinely made me laugh so hard and they helped me get through a lot because of their humor. 4 years later seeing this livestream of DD really breaks my heart. Both him and Julian deserve so much love and support in the world. Despite everything they went through together you can tell they’re trying to keep themselves positive despite everything and they’re very respectful, sincere and discreet individuals even to the people that screwed them over.
I wish only success and happiness for both DD and Julian. I'm sure that when Bippy (or any other project from them) comes out, it'll do well, and I'll be there to see it.
I just want DD and Julian to be happy, they are lovely people and this whole mess that's been going on plain sucks.
This honestly is the most defeated man I've ever seen, and it truly is heartbreaking. A man speaks his qualms and some scumbag comes in and exploits and bastardize his wish for money. These people have no standards or morals.
Hope Ding Dong and Julian are doing well, its unfortunate all this had happened over the years but glad that they're moving on. Enjoyed these two alongside Oney a while back, and they helped me get through some tough times.
I wish I had a friend like Ding Dong
You may do. I’m sure at some point we will all be in a similar position of Julian or Ding Ding (meaning someone being harassed or you being harassed yourself). I have a few times in both sides, and what really tests my own character and the character of my “friends” or real friends is how they act.
@@aquano1972 I feel for them because they are kind and honest people. I'm not so kind, if DD was my homie I'd reach out and touch a Grump
When I hear stuff like this it makes me wish I had a stupid amount of money so I could just fund their project and send them on a vacation to just get away from it all and not have to be stressed about all this
Funny thing about this comment is that DD and Julian wouldnt accept the money. They'll likely tell you to spend it on you
they would send the money back to you 100%
I've tried sending them money. They don't accept it.
Don't they have a Patreon...?
@@Ryan-op7yd That's just for their game company. I'm pretty sure all that money goes to development and nothing personal
Idk if DD will see this, but his advice to make 2023 your year I took and still am taking to heart, honestly. I'm going to make this the year I finally do something for myself and get out of retail and fast food for good, or for at least for a good while. A show I watch and has inspired me to get into animation has recently asked for character designers (I'm sure anyone who follows OP knows it's Smiling Friends) and I applied to it to finally get my feet wet in the animation industry. I also recently got a Stratocaster from my grandfather and am finally gonna learn how to play. My biggest dream is to direct a TV show and form a band, so I'm making my first steps here and now. Even if I don't get accepted into the character designer team, nor if I barely learn a single note on guitar this year, DD's words have inspired me to still make it my year regardless, to still do whatever I can to make my dreams come true.
I won't share my opinions on the matter - I have my own thoughts, but it's clear he doesn't want anything more to come out of it and wants to leave this situation behind for good (and I'm probably not too informed anyways and I'm only working with what I have) - but I will say it just hurts seeing good people getting hurt. I hope things can settle down for him and Julian moving forward and they can focus on what they're passionate about.
Thank you for all the laughs and happiness DD. While I wish I had seen more of you and followed you on Twitch, I can tell you from both OP and watching Julian's streams you've made a more positive mark on the internet that you might think. Don't let that be pity to go back to these things though, use your fair judgement and give yourself what you want.
Dude your cool, good luck m8!!
All we can truly do is let the two be, and once Bippy is complete, we show out support by playing it.
I hope they'll eventually finish Trigger Treat, sounds fun.
Man I’m gonna miss ding dong and Julian, I found them through oneyplays and loved catching their streams every so often. I didn’t know any of this happened until recently. They didn’t deserve any of the stuff that happens to them. I hope their game goes well and I hope they can live their lives in peace from now on. Much love to Ding Dong and Julian
Even if we don't know all the details, we know and love DingDong. He is funny, smart, level-headed, and stable. The reason why people have been so angry about this is because we know it would take a lot to push him to nearly end his own life. I really like DingDong and Julian and hope they both can find the peace they deserve.
We love you DingDong. We just want you to find happiness for yourself.
Listening to this all and how they were treated from people who backed them and everything was an actual shock, I haven't caught up with the these two since they left cause I always assumed "they're doing their own thing all good best of luck" then I got the video in my recommendations about all this and listening to this about they were treated and been through all this was a massive shock and do hope they take as long as they need to get everything together and heal from all this. Im sure I got some things wrong in my comment but still the same thing, I hope the two of them take as long as they need to from all of this. God speed to these two great guys.
This whole situation made me realize just how toxic the drama community can be. It really made me reevaluate how I respond to the welfare of others and to think more critically about why drama youtubers do what they do especially when they claim to be doing so out of the goodness of their heart. I really do believe the drama blew up only recently because there was no risk in outing the Game Grumps since their public image has deteriorated drastically since 2017. It's the whole situation of "OOH NOW I HAVE A VALID REASON TO HATE THIS GUY." Now that DD is calling that out, those same people who claimed to be helping him are now villainizing him for denying their cheap attempts to be good Samaritans without thinking critically about the situation beforehand. These people saw an opportunity to capitalize on someone else's suffering they each wanted to be the first do do so. To them, DD is not a human, he is capital to be exploited. I've since learned to ask "if there was no chance of making money off of this, would these people still be 'helping out of the goodness of their heart'?"
The whole commentary community in general is awful. They never cared for the "truth" or anything. They just tell half truths and plausible lies than (un)intentionally send their viewers to harass others for the "truth" or send them on a crusade.
Drama is all about toxicity.
Who would've thought that drama channels would start... Drama
The way people get so mad at Arin over petty shit like not liking a video game that they use someone else's suffering just to rant more at him instead of feeling bad for the victim is also gross.
Bowblax needs to read this.
Good luck DD, i will miss his streams so much.
He made the best decision, getting off the internet is one of the healthiest things anyone can do.
I wish Ding Dong and Julian could see some of these messages. I totally understand the need to step away and I fully support their decision to do so. I genuinely hope they find happiness.
give julian and dingdong their flowers while they are still here
Ding Dong if you’re reading this
Keep on shining, you’re a diamond in the rough
Keep pushing for what you want
without sounding weird -- i hope that dd/j are ok. i wish them both the best.
Yknow what I’ve learned listening to this? Audiences are really REALLY unhealthy. I’m sorry but when I watch someone online, I’m not supposed to know their relationship status. I’m not supposed to know their sexual preference or the friends they like or the friends they hate or them cheating on their spouse or other creators they beef with. The separation between creator and watcher has become so crazily thin the past few decades, and it’s a real problem. Young people thinking they have a connection to cartoonists or let’s players or anyone who makes things on their internet screens? I hope I don’t sound like an old fogey or anything here. But damn are people in the world so unhappy with themselves that they choose to live their lives obsessing over some youtuber and their personal business? Maybe an oversimplification but… damn. Why can’t people just watch creators and move on?
Be they indie or big name, there are tons of creators who like to foster a "family" with their audience, and who speak to them like they're friends, exposing all sorts of sensitive details of their life, relationships, and personal struggles. I think, for some audiences, that sets an expectation of how they'll interact with everyone. That's just one reason, though, there are plenty more out there.
It's completely unhealthy.
Keep in mind million subscriber corporate channels like Game Grumps know this thinning line and exploit it ever so much for profit and keeping a squeaky clean image that they can deflect any criticism with, especially since they attract a younger crowd.
“If you wanna persue the cartoon, go ahead. But let the human being step
away.”
We’ll miss you DD. But thank you for the memories and I pray you and Julian have happy times from here out.
I hate that such an interesting and good person like Ding Dong had to go through all this shit. I loved all his takes and retro game trivia. I will miss that, but I'm glad he's stepping away from the internet and hopefully him and Julian can get some peace. Some people are truly terrible and mentally unwell, and just hate to see others succeed. Misery loves company.
I'm gonna miss them so bad.
Thank bowblax he's the waste of oxygen that kept the ball rolling
@@imapicklemorty5107 yeah he blocked me when I mentioned that dingdong wanted it taken down.
I just hope and pray that Ding Dong and Juilen will be happy. To those who are potentially begging them to come back or hating on them for God only knows why, just leave them alone. They don't want this internet stuff anymore, they just wanna live their lives and that's it.
Was always excited when I was free and saw DD streaming. Loved to chill and hear him and Joolian talk. Disappointed it went this way, but "reality is what it is." If I knew them, I could help more, but even so I pray that they'll find more peace with this decision. Godspeed, Wan Wan.
DD really inspires me when he talks. Its so easy to get stuck in that mire of drama YT and sensationalism that you forget that the people behind it are people. I also really like that bit at the end where he encourages people to create a work of art get into the things they wanna do. I'm going to try this year to make something special 😌
i hope things get better for both of them, they really deserve it. i hope they can find peace and continue to make video games and do things that make them happy, and i hope they know that we understand the decision to separate themselves from this stuff. they genuinely deserve nothing but the best
3:35
Honestly ding dong talking about Julian that way is the sweetest fucking thing🥺
Hope ding dong gets better and is able to trust people again but I can understand the hesitation.
If Ding Dong and Julian somehow ever see this comment: I love you guys. You're good dudes and one of the most adorable couples. The videos you were in really helped me througg some very, very dark times that I almost didn't make it through. I hope you're doing better and having a better life. You two deserve happiness so much.
I remember looking into this stuff years ago, not long after dream daddy came out. It's crazy to me that even after basically exiling themselves from anything that wasn't Blippy related, they were still dealing with the drama. All just because they felt like their community was being fethishied by people who were not part of that community, and they felt like they should say something instead of staying silent. They deserve nothing but a happy and quiet life, hopefully they can get that soon. Shoutout to Ding Dong and Julian!
I genuinely hope DD sees the support that I’ve been seeing and reading because we are here for him! like I want him to go out knowing he’s still got some randos that appreciated his presence and hope things get better o7
It really does suck. Dingdong was always my favourite member of Oneyplays. Heck, probably one of my favourite people on the internet. But in retrospect I kinda wish he never was on Oneyplays, and instead just making games
I empathize with this quite a lot. Having gone through a few traumatic events myself in the past few years, all I want to do is focus on making things. And I haven't been able to. It's an endless chase for stability. I'm currently unable to do what I love and it fucking sucks. Godspeed, DingDong.
I went through a similar situation with a group of ex-friends around the same time frame. Working for people who were covert narcissist for many years drove me mad in many ways where it broke me as well. Watching lets plays did help me get through those times and ngl, was really into the Julian and DD era. It pains me to know they went through all this and I really wish the best for the both of you. It truly is good that you are moving on, because I get it.
Los Angeles is just... this brand of toxicity that permeates all throughout. Stay strong, be positive, and love life despite for what it is.
It sucks that nobody really got the justice they deserved, but that’s already happened long ago for DD and Julian when they just wanna have a good life now. It’s already happened and nothing fixes that so the real only option is to move on. I hope to see the both of them and the people they put their faith in continue to make the world a better place
As someone said on another video: No heroes. Even Oney as implied by DingDong to have contributed negatively to the situations mentioned. It's so weird
how people are making up narratives to create sides because of their dislike for others.
Hopefully Dingdong is doing better, Oneyplays is one of my favorite channels, and the dingdong julian era was probably my favorite
hope you know how many people you helped and care about you dingdong, find your happiness
We will all miss DingDong but I’m sure we all wish the best for him and Julian
It’s a shame things had to go the way they did in the past and even now but I’m glad DD and Julien aren’t letting this controversy cloud their lives anymore and are taking the steps that are best for themselves to recover and move forward. I wish the best for them going forward, it may not be perfect and most likely there will be bumps along the way but at least they have each other and it’s a start for retaking their lives. Until then I’ll be sharpening my tomahawks until Tough Bippy or anything they’re working on drops.
I have so much respect for him. He’ll always be one of my fav content creators and I wanna continue to support him and his work as much as possible
I’m sad but hopeful. Here’s to continuing making art and making something I can be proud of in 2023.
The best of luck to you.
Sometimes I wonder if people like DD can understand how much joy they are able to bring to people. Honestly, DD garners much more joy than negativity. I discovered him and Julian on OneyPlays when I was a freshman and going through a very bad abusive situation with my church, but I could always rely on him, Chris, and Julian to have me rolling in my bed laughing despite it all. I just wish there was a way he could understand that. But I get it. Coming from a childhood background similar to what he talks about, I completely understand the borderline emotional masochism mixed with this feeling of wanting to hide, become nothing, never be perceived again.
Man I would catch ding dong streams every once in a blue moon but I only discovered him around 2019 2020. Such fond memories watching ding dong and Julian on oneyplays during lockdown. I hope the best for him, whatever happened. There are a lot of evil people sometimes I don't even think they are the same type of human as myself. but I have a feeling he dealt with some scuffed ass people. I'll say it again though out of all the let's play people I find oneyplays to be the most genuine and it was always a treat when ding dong & julian were on an episode.. I started watching game grumps in 2016 and I'll still watch their stuff they had some really good let's plays and I also around the same time of finding oneyplays I found super-mega but super-mega is the only one that change to the point I'm not into their vibes as much as I was during 2019.
Yeah, I've been watching some of the Vinesauce crew on my end. So far they've been pretty much pretty fun to watch, life is stressful enough so I need something to help relax to.
Man just a few days ago I was thinking about how much I missed DD and Julian. And now I find this a little too late since I rarely log into twitch. They'll always be my favorite boys, I hope I get to hear from them again, but it's probably a selfish wish...
I’m so frightened of how I’m gonna make it in the art world when stuff like this happens. I wish games and art and creative work can just exist and be enjoyed and made without needless hurt. I adore dd and Julian’s work and I hope they’re able to do what they enjoy
The thing is game grumps or a company like that is corporate, like a lot of million plus subscriber channels. The “artistry” and fun behind it is completely gone because the whole reason this issue happened to DD was because of money and the fear of tarnishing a creators brand. The people that were silencing and gaslighting them were only concerned about their profits. They are not artists they are businessmen looking to make the most money off RUclips.
Still kinda wanna hug ding dong.
I really wish them nothing but the best going foreward, and not even more bullshit happens.
See ya around, ding dong. ❤
I Hope Dingdong Julian and Chris Are still Friends, they had (at least i think) really good chemistry
I think they are
Back in 2021 they returned to oneyplays for a while
Chris and Julian are definitely still friends, it just seems like DD just wants to be left alone. Julian will probably come back to oneys, but DD....I hope he just finds peace.
@@caleviwin From what I know Julian is much more hesitant than DD. Julian has said being in the public eye was a horrible experience for him and he only appeared on Oneyplays to support DD.
man this vod is about abuse bro chris and DD have good chemistry yea but again stop bringing oney into this
@@souljaboy.6668 what? No need to get all upset about it.
If DD & J ever read this.
Aside from all drama, please remember.
I do love you (you know, not in the creepy way). You have been there in some dark times of mine. I love your humor and your realness.
58:54 This moment hit me hard (I don't know if you have been listening to The Bends hehe), but ironically I've been saying this for a while myself. I just started therapy, turns out I have social anxiety, but in these awful times, I get glimmers of hope.
Deeply thank you. Hopefully you can come back to the internet someday in better times and just blog away, just share life.
Enjoying life is better than being in the limelight.
When I heard Ding Dong say on stream that everyone uploading vods was doing it in bad faith, it made me incredibly sad, and really soured me on him. Not all of us have the chance to catch everything live, and a lot of great streams from many creators are simply lost to the ether. But unless you're hosting a private or paid stream, someone uploading it is not necessarily in bad faith. I realized then he's kind of been stuck in a weird, pseudo-terminally online headspace. I know part of his issues come from people like those on drama RUclips (more recently) and folks at places like rantgrumps, but there's been long stretches where, other than I guess his stream audience, the drama has been quiet.
On that same stream I realized how many word filters and what not they had in place, and by that I mean I mentioned yiik (because literally the game character was having an Alex yiik moment), and both that and the aforementioned shit really made me stop trying to catch his streams. Guy really shouldn't be streaming at all, except maybe privately to his patreons, or in subscriber mode.
A long time ago I asked him if he minded people uploading streams onto archive, and be said he did, and gave a weak reason, but it was his reason, and I respected it and haven't ever done so. But almost all of the streams I've seen of his have been re-uploads, since he terminally deletes shit or doesnt keep vods.
It all just comes off as someone who feels compelled to stream despite the fact it seems to hurt them mentally. Like sure, they may enjoy some of the discussion in the moment, but it feels like they regret doing it, and don't want to be a streamer, rather someone just hanging out, playing games, and talking. But that's not how the internet works. Frankly it's really never been that way since the mass inception of streaming in the mid 00s.
I understand it's frustrating to miss a stream, I've felt the same way, but it's honestly not that deep either, and it's not cool that you're writing paragraphs like these, projecting a lot with "it comes off as" and "it seems like". He talked about this and his stance on streams and "media preservation". These streams are supposed to be a thing of the moment, like when you're hanging out with a person. You wouldn't say "Hey, let's record this meet-up so other folks can watch it again and again."
And yeah, him saying "Everyone uploading VODs is doing it in bad faith" is a bit harsh, but then again not really, as he went on record several times telling people that he doesn't want people to do that. Maybe it's not "bad faith", but it's at least a disrespectful thing to do. When you tell people to not do something, and they do it anyway and start saying that YOU are in the wrong for getting annoyed by it... that's pretty backwards. Plus, see 31:13
I know you don't mean harm, but this is just some dude that doesn't even know you exist, and you really shouldn't put this much thought and effort into the situation.
@MrFoxInc the irony is not lost on anyone with your 3 paragraph response lmao
@@JammerAma my main issue was not the length of his comment bucko
Maybe, the OneyPlays were the friends we made along the way. Godspeed, DingDong and Julian...

i love ding dong and i’m glad he’s prioritizing his life. he’s given me so much joy over the years
im sad i never got to be around as much when ding dong was making content cuz now a lot of stuff's been wiped and i really liked what i did get to see but id miss out on the full experience a thousand times over if it meant him and julian got to live the life they wanted. i just hope theyre in a better place financially, emotionally, etc etc. even if we never see the face behind the games again, it makes me happy knowing hes come out the other side of all of it still cherishing whats really important: the people who truely care for him, and his passion to create. godspeed dd 🙏
It's 3:23AM (3:44AM upon posting) where I'm at, I've been watching OneyPlays comps all day. I enjoy the long ones and the short ones. I watched DingDong and Julian's pumpkin carving streams and Halloween stream where Julian beat Luigi's Mansion and watched commercials. That's my favorite game.
I've spent a lot of time listening to them for many years and I sure as hell don't see myself ditching them.
I do see certain things about DingDong and Julian that I can relate with to a degree, but I could not EVEN imagine what kind of anxiety whatever happened brought upon. My heart sunk when I saw this videos thumbnail. I'm too scared to go past the 6 second mark on this VOD. Maybe another time, but the thing I want to emphasize above everything is that I have a lot of anxiety and I have for a long time. My goto guys were always around one way or another. They make me happy. And now i'm sad.
But maybe when I go to bed, and wake up, and start up a VOD or LP at 11 AM, I'll be happy again. Because that's how it usually goes
And it goes without saying; Thank you Ding Dong and Julian.
I cry because of how much I genuinely empathize. Keep yourselves safe and healthy, From one man in a relationship to another, I would protect my partner at all costs. That's just how it goes.
Genuinely hoping for you to find ways to get better soon and either beat anxiety or learn to cope with it better! I absolutely understand what you mean and I've been there too but it's precisely because of that that I know that listening to VODs and compilations can be like a drug to "run away from it all". That won't work forever, especially in cases like these when real life problems hit the people in those videos.
Easier said than done, I know and I'm sure you tried already. Life's a bitch. But sincerely, from the bottom of my heart, I hope you keep trying and that you will get better. And that watching videos is going to become an occassional fun time, not something you do all day...
DingDong's request got to me, he may never get justice but I do hope his dream of people playing a game and giving their genuine opinion on it.
He is right about RUclips, its not all about drama its a weird set up where it pushes videos that you "commonly watch"
"So many people have been trying to tear things down that I hope we can start building new things" me too, funni scream alien.
This honestly makes me so sad for Ding Dong and Julian, like i want to cry. He's made me laugh so much, it really does hurt hearing him like this.
I hope DingDong can find a way to make his games and content and be content and happy with his life i really do. I know he probably wont see this but if you do DingDong i'm sorry for all the bullshit you had to put up with, and i truly wish you all the best.
he’s back! he’s streaming right now : )
Don’t do this. Let them go in peace.

God I feel so bad for ding Dong and Julian. I really hope the best for them
Man, this sucks. Dingdong and Julien are fun to see/listen too. I'm still gonna enjoy all their oneyplays stuff. I don't even care about Gamegrumps or anything, I just hope these two are ok. Even if they're not around anymore.
The best thing people can do for DD and Julian is to drop the drama and investigations. DD and Julian are very private people and they hate drama. If no one talked about DD and Julian again they both would be very happy.
@Iron Man if they are private people who hate drama, why do they keep engaging with drama and divulging "what went on behind the scenes"? would be better to just drop it altogether if you don't want people talking about

It confused the shit out of me that Bowblax says IN THE VIDEO that DD and Julian wouldn’t want the video made and then posted it anyway.
Yeah. But I think we shouldn't let this go any further, for DD and Julian's sake.
bless Julian, if one thing I can take from this is saving one human is like saving all of humanity. and ding dong bless you for being the bigger being.
