We are coming close to 350k subscribers - thank you for all the support. Glad so many of you love the videos! ❤
Congrats, but your videos look exactly like SunnyV2's. Would be cool to see some stuff that showed some sense of identity.
Congrats!
Cool
Let's goo
Ok but who is your favorite anarchist?
To be fair, he wasn't taught what laws there are.
Dude was just a narcissist who was unhappy with his parents.
Oof, that line didn't age well. Actually age has apparently been an issue for him for a while
yeah idk about that
and never got the facts on domestic ab*se

In what world do we live in that we have to censor words like "sexual", "anorexia" or "depression"?
A world where RUclips and advertisers have far too much power.
@@p5eudo883 Internet Anarchist is Anarchist until advertisers come
Neo marxist fascist America.
RUclipsrs would rather self-censor anything they can think of, than risk losing even a single dollar. It's what YT has taught them.
Rtt
If the reason for censoring out words such as "anorexia" and "bulimia" is due to RUclips guidelines, then the guidelines are fundamentally flawed. Creators shouldn't feel forced to keep such important topics out of their discussions in fear of being less favorable in the eyes of potential sponsors or the risk of being demonetized. These are serious topics that we need to confront, and the idea of censorship - which is also done across literally every social media - is deeply troubling. Life-altering experiences such as EDs, mental illnesses or sexual assault shouldn't be something we need to stay silent about.
Yes, we know. Advertisers still don't care.
@@SteveDice21 That's why we need to talk about it. They won't start caring if we try to kill taboos with silence. Marketing is honestly really easy to understand, as at the bottom of it all, the advertisers will always go with the flow, meaning that if the majority of online users express a desire to talk about these subjects, then advertisers will follow in quick succession as they want as many eyeballs looking at their ads as possible. So the problem isn't really advertisers, but Google, Meta, Microsoft & Apple
@@Arterexius the point is that if they don't want their brands associated with these themes at all, no amount of "desire" by online users will change that
@@reezlaw That depends on the amount of money there is to be made. Remember that it is rarely the brands themselves that do the advertising on RUclips. Instead it's usually specific advertising companies who get hired by different brands to promote their products through ads. This means that we won't have to target the brands themselves, but instead the advertising companies that are hired by the brands.
Of course, if we just give up before actually trying for longer than the lifespan of a viral subject, then we will never succeed with anything, but the internet have already shown, time and time again, that it can absolutely change things.
As for brands not wanting to be associated with these themes, I find that hard to believe. Another aspect of marketing is a rather crucial aspect. Analyze your target audience, what do they like/dislike. Content like this isn't exactly the type that conservative leaning people will watch and a good chunk of the people who use the internet most frequently, are young people and one of the leading subjects among young people have for the past many years been mental and physical health.
Having your brand associated with wanting to promote physical and mental health is a pretty solid way of getting eyeballs on your products, hence why I don't think that brands will choose to ignore a literal golden opportunity to potentially earn more money and faster than if they just ignored the topics all together.
@@Arterexius this sounds like a rather optimistic take, so I want to believe it. The past few years have been discouraging.
Sad thing is, we live in an age where allegations such as this wind up leading to accused being “Guilty until proven innocent”
Now its more like guilty, period. Even if the person turns out to be innocent.
as it should be. believe victims. i do think that people do go too hard on the witch hunts, and i wish people would not make false accusations that make it harder for victims to be believed and result in this sort of mentality - but seriously, believe victims.
@@irrelevancyiskey9992You really just contradicted yourself. You know that right?
It is supposed to be that someone is innocent if proven beyond reasonable doubt, so like 51% or more likely innocent but it seems like now everyone believes the person is guilty unless the accuser states multiple times that it was false.
@@irrelevancyiskey9992 Here's the thing though. You should absolutely believe victims. But never trust them, not until you have all the facts.
People lie, people misunderstand, people make mistakes. The human memory is extremely maliable, this is why they say never speak to the interrigation officer without an attourney.
Never dismiss these allegations, but never blindly trust them either.
Because when you don't you ruin an innocent human beings life for good.
If those allegations weren't real, with how his mental health was, I feel like that'd be enough to push him away from everything and solidify his disappearance.
I can't even find any actual evidence besides someone on reddit claiming something was said. I mean, it COULD be true, but I've seen more harsh fakes.
@@CrittingOut I don't think there's really reason to give an accuser the benefit of the doubt when they're not even willing to properly come forward, much less provide evidence. If an anonymous reddit post is as far as you're willing to stick your neck out then you can't expect people to take you on your word and ruin an entire person's life based upon sheer rumor. In serious cases, victims put everything on the line just for the chance of justice. This is likely just some vindictive ex.
by p-word addiction do they mean porn addiction or something else
@@EdyimePorn addiction yeah
@@CrittingOut ofc its not true. Just like the majority of accusations. The accusation is all you need to destroy someone.
Those accusations should be addressed by court not by reddit posts and comments. Today we can fabricate anything, and we as content consumers we don't have any means to discern and resolve that matter.
False Accusations Happen To Famous People As Well.
This! In this era of deep fakes, AI, and data manipulation, it is extremely difficult to know what’s real or not. These allegations need to be addressed in official civil proceedings if the plaintiffs want to gain any kind of retribution or compensation. I’m not sure why this wasn’t done if they have evidence of wrongdoing.
I don’t understand why people feel the need to comment on people and situations they know nothing about, have nothing factual to contribute, or have any special expertise in handling.
You know, when you bring up Reddit, that explains a lot
14:06 wasn't fabricated..
@@Todo776Well, Reddit is also a major social site. It's no different than bringing up Twitter, Facebook, RUclips, etc. Any well known place massively full of opinions and echo chambers unfortunately.
I remember when those accusations came out, the accusers had a very "youre either with us or against us" attitude. A pinned comment even said something along tge lines that "not taking a stance is still a stance, so please stop replying thqt youre neutral" and it kinda pissed me off. This combined with them being uidden in anonymity and providing very little evidence has lead me to believe that its a lie
They completely deleted the post not long after too. It's all very sus imo.
It's definitely a lie, especially with those kinds of people and mindsets
Whenever someone presents me with "you're either with us or against us" I immediately inform that I'm against them on principle. Fuck anyone who says that shit.
Yep. Vindictive exes who want him to have a lifetime of misery for a failed relationship. They seem totally reputable 😂
@@JayneAFKApparently was deleted when the OP didn't actually have permission to post those photos or reveal the name. The mods removed all traces of her name and photos off the subreddit after she threatened legal action.
Kinda sad how this guy's entire life was ruined by one single post as "proof", that was posted by someone who got straight up hostile if anyone questioned the truth she preached, and that one post even ended up removed. Not suspicious at all.
What a shock that people are defensive over painful situations they have experienced
@@realbadform Or over a lie they are trying to portray as the truth with no evidence. Those people are indistinguishable from each other.
Or, in other words, "Hello, one of the many reasons for judges and the court system."
Stop pretending that acting like a child is a valid reason to be upset about the adult world.
@@realbadform "Painful situations" lmao more like baseless accusations
@@realbadform The problem is, nobody actually came forward and identified themselves as one of his victims. If he had such a high victim count you'd think that at least one of them would've used the opportunity to come forward, now that people were being doubtful of him. It's just odd. Again I'm not saying it can't be true, but I'm sure the victims, if they existed, would've had proof of the abuse or at least proof of a personal history with him. It just makes no sense to me that noone would come forward, especially with such a good opportunity to speak up and actually be heard. Idk we'll never know the truth, I fear...
Just because someone's mentally ill doesn't mean they have to be an abusive attention seeking narcissist guys, until given proper proof allegations are just that, allegations, we live in the 21st century dammit, practically anyone can frame anyone else for anything
These are all serious allegations and being that there's no way to prove if it's true or false, we get nothing but to see how a career is completely destroyed by it.
I do hope they're false, tho. Not cause of Dave himself (which would still be cool if he was actually innocent, but no way to actually find out), but because if these were all true, it means there were abused victims which only were at fault for idolizing someone too much.
So many careers have been destroyed off of false allegations. Even if proven innocent, the mental trauma and struggle someone still has to go through afterwards can be very mentally draining. Serioues allegations shouldn't be treated lightly, but you also shouldn't ALWAYS assume the person alleging is the innocent one. @@NightmareZV
yup. the vast majority of mentally ill people aren’t pieces of shit
Just look at Rosanna lied and later apologized when backfired
After the Slazo shitshow I refuse to believe any allegations without definitive proof, allegations are all you need to destroy careers even when proven to be bullshit like with Slazo's situation but the people making them rarely face any repercussions at all or else the liars who made those claims would also have left RUclips.
You didn't mention that the poster had deleted the accusations and never provided the proof they said they would. The reddit account was a throw away and has been inactive since.
He did have one very vindictive ex that could have been behind this. You got some major information wrong as well, such as the Ricegum Apology. That was a skit where he apologized to ....casey neistat.
You gotta get your research right my friend! Especially when you're signal boosting accusations that have a significant amount of controversy about their authenticity.
id a friend in my hometown whose ex hated him so much she tried to murder him, people nowadays forget that women can also be utter bastards
its cause he was never taught what laws there are
@@kevinmorrice lmao my ex called the cops on me and said I threatened to burn her house down and kill her dog after I broke up with her... She didn't have a dog.
@@Badger_Knight as my friend said ever since that incident "having a vagina shouldnt be an alibi"
This channel is known to be extremely manipulative, careful what information you allow yourself to learn from. There are much better channels out there, unsub this and find better out there
The fact that the accusations were made on social media instead of being brought to the authorities and the accusers still remain anonymous to this day says everything you need to know as far as I'm concerned.
I swear you kids really aren’t that bright😅
@@WiinterKitten shes bright enough to know if someone commits a crime against you then you go to the fucking authorities not Reddit.
@@WiinterKittenno one who is actually telling the truth about what they went through would post it all on social media instead of going to the police who are the only people that can actually get something done about the issue, Reddit doesn’t give a shit nor can they do anything to help your situation so that makes me think that anyone who posts there is just doing it for attention and don’t actually have any problems going on in their life that should be that concerning
@@AliceInChains. first of all im very skeptical of the accusations because they just dont make a lot of sense and it does come across as a way to get attention and start drama, but if you're an adult you have to know by now the police arent reliable at all in any form of abusive scenario. its so hard to be believed and even with tonnes of evidence they just dont care and perpetrators get off lightly even if accused. sometimes the only form of justice available is from the public.
@irrelevancyiskey9992 I'm skeptical of it all too considering it was one post on Reddit and then nothing else. BIAB mental state is probably fucked from all this.
Sometimes i really, REALLY hate the internet. And this whole issue with Boyinaband is a classic example of that.
I was a huge fan of Dave and his videos - he came across as incredibly likeable, ridiculously intelligent and self-aware and very empathetic. However, it was clear very soon that he had some deep-rooted mental health issues, that often plunged him into spirals of depression and self-loathing. Whenever he went on a hiatus from RUclips, I guessed it was due to those mental health problems. And when the allegations about him surfaced, my immediate thought was "Oh my god, whether it's true or not, this is going to DESTROY him. We may never see him again on social media - and god knows what it's going to do to him mentally." I wasn't at all surprised to see him disappear completely.
I feel like I don't want to just dismiss the allegations as lies outright (I'm an SA survivor myself,) but I'm not prepared to just believe them either, without more substantial proof than just a bunch of screen-grabbed messages that could easily have been faked. Also the 'letter to his family from all of his ex-girlfriends' seems... a weird way of going about 'fixing' him. Who DOES that? What group of wronged exes gets together and thinks "I know how we can hold this guy accountable - we'll write a letter to his parents, signed by all of us - but we'll post a copy of it to social media!" Surely a better strategy, if you're all supporting each other, would be to go through actual criminal/legal channels? I don't know, it just doesn't add up for me. And I'm not surprised Dave hasn't said anything in response. Unfortunately, I fear this has completely broken him, and nothing and no-one will ever persuade him to go anywhere near a public platform again.
I ain’t reading all that
how is see it is fake and I have a few reasons there was no full proof so for all we know it could just be a bunch of alts they had AND they made sure to wait and make sure he didn't post for a while so he cant defend himself as he stopped posting on social media for a while
Nah. The actions of his exes make perfect sense. Take away his platform and inform the public of predatory behaviour which will severely limit his access to naive underage fans.
Informing his parents means they can keep an eye on him to make sure he doesn’t re-offend using other avenues
@@0Meganewguy Taking away his public platform wouldn't stop him doing it away from the public eye - you don't need to be famous to be a predator. And he's a grown man, living away from home - what are his parents supposed to do? Ground him? No, it makes no sense to me that they'd write a letter to his parents and then let that letter be posted on social media for the world to see - how are his parents supposed to feel about such alllegations being made about their own son, publicly? It reflects badly on them as well, so it's an invasion of THEIR privacy when they've done nothing wrong. (Also seems pretty calculuating of the exes that they'd even make a copy of that letter to post on social media - a letter that SHOULD'VE stayed a private matter between them and the people they addressed it to. Heck, do we even know the parents DID get the letter, and that the only 'version' of it they saw WAS the one posted to social media? That would be pretty disgusting.) But even taking all of that into account, if their true goal WAS to 'stop him harming other girls,' then their first port of call should've been the police and other relevant authorities. If you think you've got enough evidence to plaster all over social media and ruin a peson's life and career, then you've got enough to go through the proper legal channels and REALLY prevent them from doing any more harm. And since there's no evidence of them ever doing THAT... that's when I'd start taking anything they claimed seriously.
@@0Meganewguyyou aren’t the sharpest tool in the shed are you?
This reminds me of the time when the second singer of Lorna Shore was accused of similar things by his ex-girlfriend. After he got kicked out of the band and had his reputation ruined, it turned out that his ex-girlfriend lied about the entire thing. I'll never believe these types of accusations unless I'm provided with valid and complete supporting evidence.
Yep CJ McCreery, I heard about those allegations too, I even went as far was to question said allegations on Twitter, that was the biggest shitshow I ever seen.. people automatically jumping on the bandwagon and literally being harassed for questioning the authenticity of the allegations. As stuff can be easily faked now a days I don't believe anything unless there is hard solid proof to those allegations and listening to both sides.
Edit: he made and or is now with Immortal Disfigurement I still listen to his music.
Just a year ago, we had the case of Johnny Depp with Amber Heard.
She pretty much ruined his career and then we found out they just had a toxic relationship through and through, but still Johnny Depp wasn't the worst one there.
@@NightmareZV Johnny was a raging alcoholic who lost his mother, he has since gotten clean and sober. He was clean and sober when he got with Amber but she drove him to drinking even more and doing more drugs. She wanted to live that lifestyle. Johnny thought he was in love, but it turns out it was just lust and he realized quickly that he didn't want to be with this woman anymore. Unfortunately it brought upon the whole court case.
Someone speaks logic
I mean, even if he didn't do anything to his ex, CJ is still an asshole
Correction for what was said at 11 minutes, Boyinaband never apologized to Ricegum for the diss track. The "apology" video was a gag about how he apologized to Casey Neistat about "not having nice tats" considering one of the lines in the original song. The reason why the song isn't up on his channel is most likely because Boyinaband usually has his songs go on their creators respective channels, you can see this with every channel he's collaborated with on a song.
Love your videos Internet Anarchist, but I do wanna see you get things right!
Yeah, I was going to say… I definitely think there were some questionable lyrics in later collaboration songs, but that content cop song was pretty mild compared to the rest of the content cop material at that time.
This comment needs to be higher because this is significant. That was the entire point of the video's title lol - to clown on ricegum again
@@GhostofGriever yeah i just made the same comment then noticed it had been pointed out lol
He also missed the bizarre diss track by an ex partner of Dave's, who painted themselves out to be a victim, but seemed quite controlling in what they expected out of Dave, while Dave's "crime" was being too distant while depressed.
@@JayneAFK oh yeah, that manipulative prick YT rapper with hearing problems who was very envious of Dave collaborating with Pewdiepie and idubz and tried to make Dave collab with him more. Complete asshole
"He's gone, right? No chance to defend himself or disprove anything we'll say about him? Great, time for some of our favourite allegations."
that's exactly my thoughts why wait until 2022 when there was proof he was off social media and there was no hard proof and for all we know the accounts saying stuff could just be alts
I appreciate that you didn't just stack on the bandwagon for saying he's a terrible person, and viewing him as innocent until proven guilty. You are helping to make the world a better place. I would love for him to be proven innocent, because he did have a very loving and caring personality on RUclips, however we may never know if he was actually this terrible person he is alleged to be. My best wishes for the friends, family, and anyone else in Dave's life.
At the same time he's making comments in here clowning on the guy.... uploader is an asshole.
its cause he was never taught what laws there are
@@dai6419lmap
seen plenty comments here talking about how the post was deleted and there was never any concrete proof and how the OP is actually some DJ trying to get revenge on Dave by making up false accusations
It's sad how people are just outright blaming Dave and condemning him without any actual proof. There has been only 1 legitimate female in the case and she came forward saying that they were never together, he helped her make a song and they collaborated on it. People kept saying it was "weird and creepy" how he was helping an underage girl, meanwhile Mr. Beast literally helps children all the time but his career is booming and most of his fan base are literal children. The entire thread was made by a DJ who "knew" Dave, he pretended they were BFFs on Instagram when he posted a picture of him and Dave with others in the picture...but the picture was him sitting on a couch with someone else and Dave was standing up talking to someone else, it was a get-together they were at and he'd only met Dave a few times altogether. He literally admitted to ALL of this on his own social media account before removing the Reddit thread because people found his Social Media from his Reddit (which is how I found him because he literally had his social media all over his Reddit account pretending he was a famous DJ) and he said he had received "threats" while he was actively telling people to go threaten Dave and his family. I'm sorry but there's been 0 evidence to backup or support the claims and the "joke" of him not knowing what laws there are is just outdone and outplayed especially when you're doing it just because you know it'll bring you attention and shows that you're supporting the outrageous witch hunt despite the fact that Innocent Until Proven Guilty is literally a thing in the law.
The thing is though, Unless a parent is involved. No grown adult should be "helping someone underage". Especially when it's not a life or death situation.
Mr Beast has been heavily criticized for his type of content and what he makes for children. And what his "helping" actually looks like behind closed doors and sensational videos. Recently got outed for treating other creators like garbage
So this is comparing apples to oranges imo
I understand you like Dave and his content. But it Really sounds like your bias is clouding your judgement. Alot of this comment is jumbled defensive mess about a separate irrelevant situation that didn't matter.
No one is using a "joke for attention" Internet Anarchist already Has attention.
@@annim7907 The 'underage girl' mentioned in this vid was 17. Which is a legal adult, so not underage. Mr Beast also hasn't been outed for treating other creators like garbage, one internet thot accused him of editing her out of a vid. Again without any proof, it's about as reliable as this chicks allegations.
@@annim7907no adult should be helping people underage? first that just makes no sense oriole do that so the time is not creepy unto itself, also the “accusation” are like one person and baseless, looks like someone trying to hit his career. sounds like you lack critical thinking or the ability to actually look into a situation
@@annim7907 Your first sentence makes no sense at all.
Should teachers not help their students, what about a private instructor? Dance classes, summer camp, all of these things happen without parental supervision.
The whole stranger danger thing is so vastly overstated that it has ruined generations of children where 99.99 percent of the time abuse comes from within their own family. It also implies that all contact between children and adults are somehow sexual in nature, it isn't. Throughout my life i've dealt with a lot of kids, from babysitting to helping my own mom who worked with abused children, to running one of the largest wow private servers, and having to desperately search for a child's address and name because they made a threat of imminent self harm, in order to get emergancy professionals to them. At the same time having to keeping them talking about the things in their life that have led them to the point that they were saying goodbye to the community.
Not all contact between children and adults is nefarious, and it's dangerous and foolhardy to imply it. It causes things like a father walking with his daughter being assaulted by a group of people thinking he was a pedo, because his daughter was having a temper tantrum ....because she was a kid.
Well constantly hanging around underage girls PLUS allegations does sound a little fishy. What are the odds that this guy hasn't done anything creepy? Pretty low I'd say.
I only really glanced at it once and didn't read too much into it, but if I remember correctly the accusations were really contradictory. There was no effort in linking any of the screenshots to Dave, the OP said she'd keep the victims identities a secret to protect them, but then shared the face and name of the then-17 year old girl without her consent, the only girl who was linked to actual proper evidence, this struck most people as an odd thing to do. She also took down her post, whatever reason behind it is up to debate but it didn't help the authenticity behind her claims, it only made it all seem more suspicious.
My stance is basically, it could be true, I don't know, it doesn't seem impossible for it to be true, but I'm on the side of innocent until proven guilty, cuz evidence isn't really evidence if it's so full of holes that a child could fake it on the same level.
Yeah all this video did was spread ask again "did he do it? Who knows?"
After what recently happened with Inquisitore3, it's scary to think how easily false allegations can be made online and how quickly up in arms people like Keegan's Mask could swallow it up and push for wrong justice. Also waiting for actual evidence and/or actual involvement of the authorities before making any judgment on Dave, but I just hope that we don't get a repeat of Inquisitore3's tragedy 😢
@@neila128 There are vindictive people who get all up in arms for those Dave might have ridiculed in his songs, then there are those who are spiteful simply because they don't like Dave for who he is, be it his thin body, long hair, hair color, being British, or simply because he likes rock and rap. Those sort of people do not mind ruining a person's life, just because they don't like said person.
Then there are the virtue signalers, they'll jump at any mistreatment and injustice be it true or false, not because they care about it, but because they want to place themselves on a pedestal in order to further their career or reputation. Dave's moderators and some of his old collaborators fall in that category. When the allegations hit a high, Dave's moderators were quick to say, "he isn't a good friend, he barely keeps contact with you and we slave away to manage his communities, he would totally do all of those things in the allegations!" and the collaborators would go, "yeah man, he ghosted me and won't do more collaborations with me, he also stole some of my collaboration opportunities! I bet you he did those things in the allegations." None of their claims support the allegations, it's simply virtue signaling.
When the post was deleted due to skepticism of the lack of evidence, and the OP's refusal to drop any identities for newly submitted "evidence" for their safety, but not bat an eye to the safety of the girls people were already criticizing Dave for, the moderators and collaborators went quiet. If they really felt so strongly about it all, why would they need OP's post in order to continue? Now they've already come forth, there's no reason to back out of it unless they were just virtue signalers without proper substance to their claims.
I'm sure if Dave was fine prior to the allegations, he will be fine now. By the way, I'm not saying that the allegations aren't true, I'm just saying that OP did not do a good job of converting me, so I will stick to innocent until "properly" proven guilty.

@@DemocracyOfficer2485 And maybe if you've stayed in school, you would've learned not to accuse people without evidence.
I reckon he will come back in 5 years time and make a comeback video either ignoring the allegations or refuting them. the fact that there was a shady reddit post seems like it was someone Dave wronged years ago and it was half-arsed attempt of ruining Dave. The fact theres been no police investigations or British media reporting on these allegations is heavy. British media would latch onto this as it did with the BBC presenter Hue Edwards and Russell Brand.
British media only latched onto Russell Brand because he's a massive celebrity and is insanely popular, and he has the nerve to question the narrative. He's someone who has lived and worked among TV personalities and he knows exactly how vile and corrupt those people are. Nobody has ever heard of BoyInABand in the real world, he's a literal who.
Guilty untill proven innocent is the internet
@FreePigeon Dave is famous. Everyone in the UK has heard of the #Dontstayinschool song so you're on crack.
he will come back as "trans" and use the trans community as a way to force people to not say anything about his true nature.
@@FALslayer maybe they did, but it was almost 10 years ago, and not sure if people would really care in media nowadays with about some not huge youtuber case, maybe some local news
I don't believe these allegations at all. Supposedly dozens of victims and not even one screenshot of a conversation between any of them and Dave? No, I think the whole thing was made up wholesale by one person with the intent to destroy this guy. On that note, we've got to stop with the idea that people like this are just doing it for attention; you don't make up allegations this serious against a person unless your motivations are outright vindictive.
its cause he was never taught what laws there are
I'm guessing it's was Shonalika, she made a whole diss track on him from when they were dating.
In this day and age, I must take such mysterious allegations like these with several grains of salt. It's so very easy to manufacture controversies and false stories about people either for kicks, clout or just to watch the world burn. With so many people he collabed with on RUclips, you'd think at least one would collaborate these allegations if this truly was a pattern of behavior Dave had. It seems to be the opposite where everyone seemingly getting along well with him with no apparent red flags. For me, it's innocent until proven guilty, and I'm going to maintain that principle with Dave.
yeah, the post was deleted and the account had zero activity since, clearly a burner just to accuse dave
its cause he was never taught what laws there are
@@dai6419 never taught how to write a decent song either
The fact that it was on Reddit and there was no legal procedures involved is one of the biggest red flags for me.
Here's something people keep forgetting - the Reddit post was made by someone who knows Dave, or well rather he pretended he was best friends with Dave even though they met like a few times at get-togethers. He tried to get famous for making a fake Reddit post about Dave - per his own Instagram where he was trying to promote his sets even though he was literally paying people to let him play in public places. The entire Reddit thread was created by a guy who is much older than Dave and had a grudge against him for being famous and not promoting him.
I don't know exactly what the allegations were, but the fact that law was never involved is not a make or break for me. There are many cases and situations where, even though laws are broken, no one actually contacts the law over what happened or the law itself refuses to take action. It would be even worse in a he-said-she-said situation or if it happened in multiple jurisdictions.
Also, Reddit is a hub for information and conversation. If you are looking to stay anonymous, but still get the word out, it would be exactly the right place to do it. Problem is, because there is no legal trail and no trail to follow on Reddit, the allegations are unprovable from the jump.
@@Queen_Nyxie as it was mentioned in the video - Dave was not active online at that point. So it even wasn't "he said-she said" situation. Only "trust me bro".

The censorship on words for this video just to please RUclips is just ridiculous!
I wouldn’t censor it if I didn’t have to, believe me. I was recently demonetized for apparently “providing instructions on creating drugs” on a video that didn’t even mention drugs. Another video was demonetized for something along the lines of promoting terrorism when it was on a gamer… I need to be super careful to avoid having my channel wiped off the site.

Stuff like this is so fascinating to me because if he is innocent of all the crazy accusations his reputation is completely destroyed there needs to be a law made that if it is found out that is all lies then the accuses goes to prison or pays fines to the person that you try to destroy. There was a guy recently killed him self over false accusations need to stop and the perpetrator jailed.
A lot of people have ended their lives over false accusations unfortunately, or attempted to. False allegations ruin the lives of innocent people, but also cast doubt on actual victims of abuse who already have to deal with the aftermath of said abuse along with being accused of lying for attention or vindictive purposes.

I remember loving don’t stay in school as a high schooler because everyone decided it was saying that students shouldn’t stay in school, when in reality it directly said certain stupid subjects shouldn’t stay in school- and that was a fun gotcha for a teen :P
i shared that song with a few classmates back in highschool and they ended up getting a parenting class back in the school. It was to teach teens about safety and stuff related to parenting so that when they were resposible adults they could use what they learned. They taught students how to do the hymlic on babies in that class as well. they already had the teacher who used to teach it and all the suplies for it but just needed people to convince the ones in charge of what classes the school gets to have to bring it back. the teacher loved teaching it as well so when a bunch of students got together and made it something that they could teach again it was great. one of my classmates got to have that class and they eventaully used what they learned in the class to help out with their baby cousin. i love that the song reached some people like a few of my classmates who thought the parenting class was important enough to bring back. Some at my school did think it was about not staying in school and dropping out but not everyone did.
we'll probably never see him again, there is 0 reason for him to address these allegations unless he ever did want to come back, which I doubt now. Personally I think he's innocent cause the "evidence" is just so flimsy.
While I will have to say I haven't looked a whole lot into the accusations, it still concerns me that - when I did actually search for information on it - the only thing that showed up was posts, comments and tweets from people who have no connection to David or the potential victims whatsoever. I couldn't even find the original post made by the person(s) claimed to have experienced these things. Shouldn't there be a police report somewhere? A news report? Or, at the very least, shouldn't the accusations themselves be easier to find, as opposed to hundreds of third-parties who are merely relaying what they have heard from someone else?
I don't know if David is guilty of any of this, but it scares the shit out of me that the "entire" internet knows about all the crap he has supposedly done despite the fact that finding some reliable sources on the matter is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
She deleted it (the alleged victim, that is)
That's because they no longer exist on the internet, with the exception of potential screenshots floating around. I think the reason for the post's deletion is quite clear. They got what they wanted and therefore, didn't need to post any proof. The community on Twitter was, and still is to a degree, if you're being accused of a serious crime and you're silent about it, you're guilty. No need to venture deeper into the allegations, the people who posted them, or who the allegations were targeting. His absence is all they really wanted. It's very similar, at least theoretically, to Tobuscus's situation. Someone made a false allegation, he remained silent, and it destroyed his career. He uploads now to varying degrees of success, but he's never going to retain the same level of viewership he once enjoyed. The difference is, no one, to my knowledge so I could be wrong, defended Dave, while some people did involve themselves in Toby's accusations.
@@AllThingsEntertainingThere's an archive of it somewhere on someones computer, trust me. The internet never forgets.
Also IA exists and stuff like uneddit.
She deleted it after it went viral and went into hiding for personal reasons. Some says she wanted to hide because of Dave's fans sending her death threats but Dave has no fans, just supporters from other youtubers who are their fans. It was also proof for their slander on the internet considering if it blows up, they can just use the words I DELETED THE POST AND APOLOGIZES TO THE VICTIM as their ploy if they ever went to court, and just get a misdemeanor charge which is not crucial. It is always cooked like this in Reddit and Twitter. Nothing new.
Dude, holy crap this takes me back.
Until any of accusers filed a police complain all this is just a baseless slander.
You should be ashamed of yourself.

The apology video BiaB made in response to Ricegum’s diss track was a joke, and wasn’t to Ricegum or his audience. The apology was meant for a person he “joked” about in the diss track, and is actually a parody of Ricegum’s apology to the person he said, “Did it feel good though?” to
Yeah, I guess Internet Anarchist just skimmed through that video 😅
He was apologizing to Casey Neistat lmao. For roasting his tattoos.
These allegations remind me on the situation of "Inquisitor" an Italian cosplay TikToker who took his life after cropped and out of context screenshots were shared by a minor who edited videos for him even though he repeatedly told her that he had no ronantic interest in her. And given Boyinaband's mental status it wouldn't surprise me if all of this made him be on the verge of ending it all as well. For as long as there is no fundamental proof or actual witness testimonies or a court case. I will wholeheartedly disregard the allegations as false and untrue and anyone who will tell me otherwise I will consider harmful and predatory until further evidence has been brought to the table

I’m not sure if you were making a joke, but Dave never posted a real apology to the ricegum video. That apology video was a fake out in which he met up with Casey Neistat to apologize for the line “when I found out Casey Neistat didn’t have nice tats.”
Zero, the pro Smash player, had to face the same accusations, but he stood his ground, brought the case in court, the judges realized there were no proof, case solved and he is finally back on RUclips and improved himself.
Dave should do the same, just settle the matter then tell us what happened.
This sounds almost identical to what happened to Tobuscus back in the day. Of course, Toby's battle was a lot more explosive and volatile with there being a court case and everything, as well as his ex actually admitting that it was all fake allegations, but it ruined Toby's career and mental health, and he never recovered, fell down some really bad spirals as a result.

These videos seem to pop up everywhere and are so dumb. It's still nothing more than dubious allegations, yet people keep making videos about this topic as if this ruined his career, which will only further solidify those allegations as truth in the community's eyes, even if it's not. The guy hadn't been online way before the accusations, which already caused a decline anyway. He certainly wouldn't want to come back now, after multiple creators regurgitate the same dated and shady information, over and over again.
At this point, it almost seems like some sort of smear campaign. Stop spreading shit you don't know anything about as if it's truth. Only a small addendum that this might all be false in a 15 minute long video is not enough.

Boyinabands Apology to Ricegum was satirical. It was actually an apology to Casey Nicetat because one of Daves Lines was "I was more dissapointed, that when I found out Casey Nicetat didnt have Nice Tats". He didnt apologize to Ricegum, nor did he need to
Is his life actually ruined though? Looks like he doesn't care. Doesn't look like he broke laws, but if you're mad then go be mad at the UK's age of consent and all the US states where the age of consent is 16
10:56 Wait... it's been a while since I watched Boyinaband's Ricegum diss track apology video, but I'm pretty sure it was a fake out. He didn't actually apologize to Ricegum in it at all, it was just a joke.
There are stories where someone is PROVEN to be falsely accused and yet people keep attacking them as if they were guilty. There is no win in cases like this and just leaving it all behind is just the most sane thing to do.
Im sorry not trying to victim blame or anything but if something like this really happened you should go to the police not your local internet thread, and for anyone who would say they were scared id say it takes more bravery to publically announce it then to silently go to the police with your evidence. Its for that reason that i struggle to believe anyone who posts allegations to the internet its just too easy people have been wrongfully accusing others they know in real life of horrible things cause they dont like them you really dont think theyll do it online?
Veela was actually how I even learned about Dave. Sucks where this all went down too. It’s terrible to see how people ran along with a Reddit post that could have been posted by anyone; if these allegations were true, why not bring it to justice? Why hide? Why be anonymous? Go to the police. If the original Reddit user who posted the evidence was so concerned about Dave and his actions, wanting to stop it from happening to other young women, why was it not brought straight to the authorities attention? Smells suspicious to me.
The problem with this comment is
It could be said about dave

@@acorn9134 because the internet tends to side with women. Would a man easily win this?

It seems kinda weird to go and post accusations about someone who isn’t even active on social media anymore. "What about other girls in the future", WHAT future? This is very much an offline issue now because he's an offline individual right now. I'm usually on the side of believing victims (while giving the accused the benefit of the doubt), but since there isn’t really a "victim" who has been identified, this seems like a really sad reach for attention using someone who isn't likely to show up and defend himself. Get all the victim points without actually facing the person you're accusing.
Innocent until proven guilty for sure, but i wouldn't be confident if i had to bet on it, mostly because of the ''Take me without my consent'' lyrics. What kind of person would first write those lyrics, than have an underage girl sing that on camera, and post it on youtube.

I dunno, I wanna give him the benefit of the doubt, but I dont wanna support him if he's doing things like that.

This situation genuinely makes me sick to my fucking stomach. To see a random post, on REDDIT, BY THE WAY, with not a single shred of evidence get so much attention and people falling for it and believing it is just so disheartening.
I have remained subscribed to both Dave's youtube channel and his spotify in case he ever returns. I doubt he will at this point. With how bad his mental health was/is, compounded with all these allegations, I don't think I'd be willing or able to return to a space that was a large source of mental health issues, either. I think his silence on the matter is telling, but in a way that a lot of people might disagree with me on. I believe in "innocent until proven guilty." There is no verifiable evidence at this point. The "telling-ness" of his silence, to me, is that he has completely and permanently put that part of his life behind him. The internet is too much stress on his mental health, even before those allegations. He'd left long before them. He does not, and should not need to come back to the internet and fight to defend himself from allegations to the internet at large when he's done what's best for his mental health. If these allegations impacted his life offline, the only place he needed to defend himself is, indeed, offline. Which he's probably done at this point.
Honestly, the allegations coming out long after he left the internet feels more like bitter fans trying to force his hand to return. Only it hasn't worked out the way these anons have hoped. Their one thread of "real evidence", R, didn't even want to get involved in the first place and asked to have her name removed from the doc. She was involved against her will. If something actually happened there, she also wanted it put behind her and not dragged out in the open for the masses. It wasn't right for the anons to drag her into what I believe is petty, bitter fans being mad that their former favourite content creator has chosen to prioritize his own mental health over the enjoyment of parasocial fans.
It also isn't right for so many people to name drop her when covering this when she didn't want her name involved in the first place. I wish people would stop.
Honestly i really hate how overplayed the title and the start of this video were. Just a few weeks ago you called out SunnyV2 on doing something similar and now ur doing the exact same thing. The Downfall wasnt massive, the allegations werent proven and were questionable themselves, but you only clarify these things in the last 2 mins. This manner of story telling is purely for your own benefit and doesnt help either the people involved or the people watching.
idk what you expected lol, there's no such thing as a good drama channel. The incentives point strongly in the same direction every time
Honestly, I'm not going to take this at face value and immediately assume the worst. If this is really true then there needs to be a more thorough look to make the evidence undeniable. The Internet is full of malicious and jealous people so i wouldn't be surprised if this turned out to be false.
I am always confused when these allegation’s are made, people take them to Reddit and not the police or local authorities. If he did these things, then take it to someone who can personally deal with him. However, it’s the internet, and they just posted random compilations of texts with nobody responding, how can we verify that? No phone numbers associated with Dave, nor anything to connect him. I’d imagine with his mental health struggles, he never responded because of awful these made him look and feel like. As I said, if he did horrible stuff, shame on him. But we can’t believe random people who don’t even show actual evidence to link Dave.
Its easy to put false claims on someone who has no online presence anymore. I'm going to withhold any judgment till i hear his side of the story or see solid proof that cant be faked online.
I've been waiting for some clarity on whether or not the allegations are true and I'm still not getting it anywhere. There are only three possibilities: 1. he's guilty; 2. he's innocent but is in no state to figure out how to dispute the allegations at the moment; 3. he's innocent and is going the legal route about this, so he's not sharing any info with outsiders.
Innocent until proven guilty.
I actually never watched boyinaband when he wasn't singing, so he always came off as edgy to me especially when theodd1'sout sound came out, he was so moody in that video I thought that was his personality irl, this is me discovering he was actually a likeable funny guy.

There was a similar case with a RUclipsr called Samgladiator who I used to watch A LOT back in the day. He basically got burned out from making videos at one point and started uploading less and less until disappearing for a few good months. During those months out of nowhere came an accusation of similar stuff from a random girl after she firstly accused him of siding with children dying in the ukrainian war or something during a discussion they had on his discord server. Everyone all of a sudden started shitting on him as per usual until another person made a whole video basically bashing the accusations made against him and proving him innocent and thus embarrassing the accusor for trying to ruin his life just for getting upset fir the simplest thing. I'm definitely not telling the full story here and some things could even be inaccurate so if anyone's curious they can look it up. I just wanted to point out a "Guilty until innocent" situation that may very well be similar to Dave
So a guy who was well liked and had self hatred and depression stops uploading and after a while some anonymous people shared allegations of heinous crimes with little to no evidence?
plot twist, Dave's self-loathing hit a critical mass and he wants his own reputation ruined, therefore making that post of dubious reliability on himself
You’re right. He could be suffering from major self-sabotage in this case.

@@sackgesicht4371 I mean and intend to hurt people. I get thanked for it.
Bad things happen in life. Just don't pretend. Most people do. It's the "nice" people trying to claim a moral high ground that aren't being honest. When they hate. When they resent. When they push away because of that. That's beyond abuse at that point. It's cowardness. Very few people want to be a coward once they realize that.
It also helps that I teach people to fight back. People want to know they can do things themselves. Other key moves to make. Present options. etc. Most people drop the ball. Try to be a "nice" person when nice guys finish last. Think I'm going to coddle someone when they're making mistakes? Or thinking of offing themselves? That's not how I get them to see reason. If all you do is wallow and think of yourself then that's the problem. At the same time no one acts without self interest. Being selfish isn't the problem. Pretending to be a saint is.
Take mods that abuse power for example. RUclips cenership. There's "abuse" then there's "suffering in sielnce" and "hiding the truth". There's "Push people around" but then there's "teaching cowardness". People that are pushed can learn to do better. But they can't learn like this. Not wih cenership. Not with hiding the truth. This is much much worse then anything any honest bully would do. It's why people off themselves if anything. Any opinion that isn't "allowed" is silenced. So people don't get to have one. It's "wrong" to have a strong opinion.
I'm a sadistic monster, but even I'm taking issue with this. And people not only "allow" it, but worse, encourage and enable it. Where is peoples courage?
Wasnt there a similar situation - where a good ticktoker who used to act as a COD character(a imaginary character-forgot his name) he used to make tictok and a lot of people enjoyed it, but he was internet bullied to commit suc*de on live stream, with wrong allegation about grooming (the girl said that she was not underage and directly approached him , even when he said her he wasn't interested) finally when he started to accept her she and 2 other people started to leak their messages and basically told others that he was grooming her{she and the 2 other(3 in total) were planning this wayy before the girl even meet him, and then she became a editor for him, from there she started to approach him and finally it ended with the guy commiting suc*de live stream on tiktok )
I am not a fan of boyinaband, but trusting reddit messages is like trusting the devil{ even when you know who the devil is}
Yup that happened
Ive seen quite a few bad trends pop up and disappear. The trend of randomly accusing people of being abusive and predatory has certainly been one of the worst. Definitely hope that one's gonna end soon.
Great recap! I only heard about BIAB during the fallout and I appreciate that this is an objective summary rather than part of the pile-on. Since their stated goal was to stop the guy, I'd understand if they posted the allegations during his channel's growth or when he was active--but posting it a year after he already went offline and quiet is incredibly suspect.
Innocent until proven guilty > Guilty until proven innocent. Everything that is a violation of the law and has not been processed through the appropriate legal channels automatically appears very suspicious and dubious to me. There is no need to make an online post about it; one should simply go through the proper legal channel.
Original title: How one Reddit post ruined his career (I think)
he is still right about the school system my high school still teaches us mostly useless info
All do😂😂
It teaches you how to learn, if you actually pay attention. If you analyse current events within the framework that you used to learn about history, that's when you begin to think critically. You have all the knowledge of the world in your pocket, if you know how to learn and what questions to ask, you can learn anything. It isn't communicated well to students, but it is about giving you transferable skills, so that you can adapt them in this ever changing world.
Spoken like a man who does not go to my high school it has been proven time and time again the American education system is outdated and most of it is useless info
They all do tbh
No Proof = No Truth 90% of the time
as i like to say about people who accuse but never provide proof "all talk no walk"
Can't anyone on reddit say anything about anyone.... why are we taking some random anon so seriously
You are really underrated, deserve more subs
Thanks!
honestly, if I found that success on this platform, I'd ride the wave for a few years, make my money and get the hell off before I screw myself
agreed
agreed.
The thing that ticks me off is that people have been memeing the hell of Dave being the bad guy before these reports were even confirmed.
So much of RUclips controversy is a they did/they didn’t argue fest, and it’s almost always stupid because issues like these should have been handled in real life, in an actual court, and not spread over the internet where a bunch of people can make assumptions off of evidence that isn’t supported.
They say, “We didn’t want to have to do this” to try and draw sympathy, but what evidence is there that they actually had that conflict? We don’t know these people, their evidence, nor the other side of the story and yet millions of people are taking a stance.
Honestly, this is just reminding me about what I hate about RUclips: *Unsupported allegations, controversy without a purpose, and bringing people’s private lives and reputations to the hands of people who aren’t trained in law nor looking at evidence fairly on how to handle this.*
So thank you for giving a non-biased analysis that doesn’t make assumptions, and unless Boyinaband ever returns to address this, stop sending me memes on controversy that is unfounded and unresolved.
This is not only an issue on youtube. This happens IRL too. It is what it is. Men are second class citizens.
@@ymx7947 lol, lmao even
They wanted too. Or they wouldn't have. They lied.
basically we have a guy with major depression issues, so depressed that he was "killing" his carreer when was in his pick, someone posted an highly faked post on reddit (the post and account when inactive after a short time) and the internet started to point fingers on him without any proof or evidence... and what's happend? He disappeard, what a surprise from an already depressed person
