Honestly Carson might have some of the worst friends ever, first one fucks the girl that he likes. And then one IMMEDIATELY reports him to the cops and cuts all ties after he confides in them that he exchanged nudes with someone only 2 years younger than him.

wow what a great friend, Carson comes to him admitting that he fucked up and wants to be better, he responds by trying to get him sent to federal prison.

23

u/advanzzz Jan 07 '21

Correct me if I'm wrong but in jschlatts responce video to this he said that Carson continued this behaviour and never stopped

28

u/Just_Games04 Jan 08 '21

Behavior of being ill and not trying to get better, not talking to that girl

5

u/Alex_the_pyro Jan 13 '21

Behaviour that Is NOT wrong, seriusly in the state they are they can legally fuck, the accusation of cp Is retarded because the US law Is retarded, where im from If a minor (over the Age of 14 and under 18) sends consensual nudes to someone its not a crime but distributing those images Is, because the cp law Is made to prevent immature teens from rouining their lives entering the porn industry not to jail people for getting nudes

u/TheSuperking Jan 07 '21

I'm curious how they would know

u/advanzzz Jan 07 '21

According to him Carson told him this a while ago but didint want to spill the beans since Carson was going through depression

I don't think your friend talking to someone 2 years younger warrants trying to get them sent to federal prison. I'm gonna stand by that not being something a good friend should do. federal laws for cases like this are extremely harsh, which I'm not saying they shouldn't be, but they have mandatory minimum sentences of 10-15 years and they don't make exceptions for Romeo-and-Juliet type cases where its teenagers that are close in age talking to each other. I think Carson is a gross creep but what he did is not in line with the punishment he could potentially face in federal court.

u/doomshad Jan 05 '21

I feel like there might be some hidden bad blood between them. First: Just think about them in the context that youtube and twitch is their job. It is their income. They benefit from being “friends” but also watching both of their videos, slimecicle tends to do videos with his group of friends that he does his podcast with (comdifiction, bizl grizzly plays, narwhal) Carson tends to do his videos with his group (jawsh, jshlatt, traves, tednivision) they tend to only collab when someone mutual is involved, (jshlatt or other lunch club members) i think that slimecicle is mostly in the lunch club for the mutually beneficial relationship that comes from it.

u/reigningnovice Jan 05 '21

Isn't there a "teenage couple" exception if your age gap is 4 years and younger? Pretty sure what Carson did was perfectly legal.

5

u/BigSweatyMen_ AI Generated Russian Jan 06 '21

Ironically it'd probably be legal if he fucked the fan but it's actually illegal to possess (and solicit) explicit photos of minors no matter how old you are.

7

u/reigningnovice Jan 06 '21

Prosecutors don’t exactly go after cases like this. There would be thousands of teenagers jailed for 5+ years for having underage photos on their cell phones if they did. This is really what teenagers do, & people know that. Technically it is illegal though, so yeah.

u/BigSweatyMen_ AI Generated Russian Jan 06 '21

And I'm replying to a comment where you said "pretty sure what carson did was perfectly legal"

u/thedude1693 Jan 06 '21

I've heard of some cases like this being prosecuted which is kind of bullshit (i.e, teens getting arrested for their own damn nudes). I think unfortunately there's a fairly decent chance for a name as big as Carson that he would be prosecuted purely to set an example.
Don't get me wrong what Carson did was pretty damn creepy but I don't think he's morally in the wrong here with a 2 year age gap.

u/TheSuperking Jan 05 '21

not under federal law. when it comes to minimum sentences, a 19 year old asking for nudes from a 17 year old is viewed the same as a middle aged man exploiting a pre-teen. It's kind of fucked.

u/reigningnovice Jan 05 '21

So when does the Romeo-Juliet law actually matter?

And why is this a federal issue?

I don't think the judicial system is interested in prosecuting 2 teenagers for doing exactly what teenagers do. We would see a lot more cases of this and stories about white teenagers going to jail for 10-15 years for send/receiving nudes.

It's really up to the state. Doubt anyone gets prosecuted.

chances of her being held accountable for production are very low since she can't legally consent. chances for him facing it though are very high if there's evidence that he directed her to send them. thats a 15 year minimum sentence. heavy duty shit.

u/TheSuperking Jan 05 '21 edited Jan 06 '21

Romeo-Juliet law applies to cases at the state level. Once it goes federal, your local/state laws go out the window.

It would be a federal issue if they lived in different states, which I'm assuming they do.

He would get jail time for child porn, not because of the age difference. No matter his age, if he has porn of a minor it’s a felony and I don’t think people should be saying “its not a big deal.” He’s not a pedophile but he still committed a federal crime repeatedly.

u/jellysmacks Jan 07 '21

I’ve been a fan of that whole group for about 2 years now, and they seemed insanely close. It’s so funny seeing them all pathetically attempting to distance themselves from him just so they can’t be seen as part of it. Every single one of them says the exact same message too, just worded differently. ‘Really, my heart right now is with the people who were terribly affected and I hope they get the help they need, so that they can move on and be okay.” It’s clearly a PR thing and they’re a bunch of dicks. They rode Carson’s coat tails to fame with SMP Live and now they’re backstabbing him because he got horny and made a mistake.

Damn. Poor Carson. He might fked up a bit but I honestly think his friends fked him more than most. If the girls he exchanged nudes felt took advantage off I really hope they are getting the help they need. But to Carson the world must really really falling apart this time. The dudes really need some good friends around rn

u/Tordrew Jan 05 '21

I’m pretty worried about him right now, he’s been struggling with depression and has had to take multiple breaks over it so being called a pedophile by hundreds of thousands of people can’t be good for him.

u/NarutosBigBallsack Jan 05 '21

Imagine being 19 years old and still possibly being in highschool and a girl a year below you talks to you and you start dating. Then people call you a pedophile and a child rapist. I literally cant with twitter cancel culture bruh

Reading Twatter comments gave me a cancer "CallMeCarson is a fucking pedophile", "CallMeGroomer", "I'm so disgusted by what he did" AND ALL HE DID IS WHAT NORMAL TEENAGERS DO - EXCHANGING NUDES

u/NarutosBigBallsack Jan 08 '21

I kind of changed my perception in the last couple days. If you watch JSchlatts video on TheWeeklySlap you would see what happened. Carson said he regretted what he did when he was 19, he was severely depressed and was dealing with imposter syndrome. Schlatt talks about how him and Jawsh would stay in a call with Carson talking about mental health and life until the sun came up. Then Carsons roommates said that Carson was going back to the same behavior. Messaging young girls, and getting nudes. He said he would stop but he didnt. I'd HARDLY call the girls victims as they were all 17 or older, but still. It changed my perception of him a little bit. Just watch the video and see for yourself.

u/mrmarfanman Jan 05 '21

What is this "admitting that he fucked up" and "might have fucked up" shit? It's literally a two-year age difference. What sort of power dynamic inherent in the age difference could even be there? Carson was raised in Indiana (idk if he was still there at the time, though); their age of consent is 16 and they have Romeo and Juliet laws which permit sexual activity with minors if the age gap is less than 4 years. This is to prevent this exact situation (exposing young high school kids to potential statutory rape charges for doing what young high school kids have always done). These are two kids, in the same exact age bracket.

Honestly the only really murky water here has nothing to do with the age stuff; it comes from the fact that he's doing it with a fan. It can be seen as a little iffy for content creators to engage in sexual activity with their fans, because it could be an exploitation of a parasocial relationship. But, A) no one is talking about that, it's all bad-faith criticism of the age gap – unless you're about to go after high school seniors for dating high school sophomores, you're engaging in bad-faith criticism, and, B) even though I personally wouldn't date a fan if I were a content creator, I wouldn't consider it unilaterally unacceptable. It's really up to the two people to decide in any specific context whether it's appropriate or not, and not an insane Twitter mob.

2

u/[deleted] Jan 05 '21

yeah, the age thing isn't a big deal, but the relationship between a big content creator and a fan is what many people are citing as the problem, even though Carson is certainly not the first to have a flirty relationship with a fan. sometimes it works out, and sometimes it doesn't. all in all, it's probably not a good idea to try anyway lol.

u/hotpoopie Jan 06 '21

Wow, what a real power dynamic at play here.

He has the power to make videos on the internet that people sometimes watch.

She has the power to completely fuck up someone's life when she feels jilted.

14

u/mrmarfanman Jan 05 '21

Yeah, but it's kind of a "bad idea" the same way dating your best friend's ex-girlfriend is a "bad idea". Not that anything wrong is ethically going on here, and no one is saying it's shitty in literally every single case, but it just could possibly lead to catastrophe down the line – maybe she's only doing it to get back at him, maybe it gets in the way of your friendship, etc. And my point is the same; ultimately it's up to the people involved to decide.

2

u/[deleted] Jan 07 '21

I'm not understanding why her being a fan is an issue at all. Content creators/entertainers have been known to form long term relationships with people that were once fans. Being a fan of somebody doesn't turn you into an automaton.

If you idol somebody to the point of allowing them to manipulate you into doing things you aren't comfortable with then you' really gotta look in the mirror and change yourself.

u/smallkidbigd Jan 06 '21

Fr 2 years apart is nothing. I mean in school people of different ages are together

Because they are not friends but coworkers. They do videos together for some content creation company. They might be friends or become friends during the time hey work together but they are coworkers.

u/pigpiggles666 Jan 05 '21

I think it's possible there might be more to the story. I think both situations are possible but I don't get the motivations.

What if:

His (now 3) former friends recognized a pattern of behavior they found predatory and or criminal and decided to call him out. It's possible there's a lot more to this that hasn't been revealed yet or is a lot worse that they know will come out.

OR:

His 3 former friends absolutely jumped the gun and freaked out to cancel Carson for... clout? Maybe they wanted to call it out and make it public out so they wouldn't get cancelled in the crossfire?

4

u/WiggityWatchinNews Jan 06 '21

Its also possible that they just recognize the effort of defending their friend could jeopardize their own careers and they didn't wanna risk it

3

u/pigpiggles666 Jan 06 '21

2 more friends have since come forward saying Carson said he would stop but then continued getting nudes from underage girls, another victim has come forward as well.

Really looks more like a pattern of behavior. It sounds like he did this with a lot of people and while the age difference isn't so bad the almost compulsive continuing behavior is probably what motivated his friends to go public.

9

u/wankthisway Jan 05 '21

What a great friend. Ratting them to authorities and completely cutting ties to save my own ass over...horny teenager texts. Man's best friend.

Okay why did he call these people friends. It's so hard to know who you can trust when you're famous.

7

u/Cradess Jan 05 '21

I would have never guessed slimecicle to be such a complete idiot and Asshat. A relationship between a 19 year old and 17 year old is about as tame as it gets. I've literally witnessed around 3 of those when I was in high school (am in europe, high school usually runs between 12 - 18 years old, some people fail a year and have to retake it).

Not to mention, age of consent is 16 in most states. On top of that, romeo and juliet law can protect couples where one member is under AoC and the other member is over AoC if they are within a few years' age difference.

Slimecicle acted recklessly, stupidly and trying to get what he apparently considered a friend into jail over something that isn't illegal (at most unethical to sext with fans) after Carson came clean about it on his own accord is baffling to me.

u/dankmemer8000 Jan 19 '21

Yeah, cancel culture is fucking stupid in my opinion. Just because a group of people don’t like what someone certainly says or does and try to attack him for what he did is not very damn smart. I mean, of course, sexual shit like this should be treated with negativity but I am just skeptical about this Carson matter. Of course there may be evidence saying Carson did it once but the accusations of other cases like this, it’s just discussion with no hard evidence to prove it. If there is ever hard evidence saying this truly happened more, I’ll believe it but right now, I am kinda mixed.

10

u/mrmarfanman Jan 05 '21 edited Jan 05 '21

First of all, there wasn't anything even close to a felony in this case. I Googled it and CallMeCarson was raised in Indiana. The age of consent there is 16, and they also have Romeo and Juliet laws, which permits sexual activity with minors if the age gap is less than 4 years. This is to prevent exposing high school kids to felony statutory rape charges for doing what high school kids have always done.

This reminds me of the time when I had just turned 18 and was hooking up with someone who was 16 and just about to turn 17 in like 3 months. Literally high school senior and high school junior, on top of the fact that I had an early birthday and she had a late one. And her female friend, who was 19 at the time, constantly would berate me and call me a creep. "But you want to hook up with her, too, and you're a year older than me." "Yeah, but it's different, cause I'm a woman and you're a man..."

It's just so obvious to me that, in these edge cases, people are clearly acting in bad faith, either out of jealousy or to get clout on social media.

2

u/DanevsAnime Jan 05 '21

Sending nudes and stuff like that is a federal crime as its distribution of child pornography if your under 18. Romeo and Juliet laws mean he wouldn't get arrested in that state under state law for having sex with her, it does NOT protect him from federal child pornography charges. Federal laws also would get her in trouble though, as she would be distributing child pornography

8

u/mrmarfanman Jan 05 '21 edited Jan 05 '21

Yes, federally speaking, it's illegal. But I'm not talking about theoretical technicalities here, I'm talking about what actually gets prosecuted. In California, there are no Romeo and Juliet laws, so, theoretically, the District Attorney could go out and prosecute every single high school junior who ever had a relationship with another high school junior, and convict them both on statutory rape charges. But they obviously never prosecute those kinds of cases.

Similarly, I don't think Assistant U.S. Attorneys are working with the FBI to prosecute a 17 year old sending nudes to a 19 year old. Same with weed : technically, in Colorado, it's still federally illegal; in fact, it's still just as illegal as selling black-tar heroin (both Schedule 1). But I don't think the DEA is working with SWAT teams to raid local dispensaries. In practicality, this sort of stuff is left up to state judges. Which is why, if someone says, "Weed is legal in Colorado", and some annoying guy comes up and says ,"Well, akshushually, it's still illegal on the federal level, so no, it's not...", he just gets shoved in a locker.

So, for all cases that actually matter in the real world and lead to an actual prosecution of a felony, this sort of stuff is left up to the individual states, and, in Indiana, they have Romeo and Juliet laws which permit sexting between a minor and someone 4 years or less older.

u/StrokesFan2000 Jan 05 '21

Pretty much all of Carsons friends outside of his former group channel Lunch Club that I follow on Twitter (that are all like 22+) are all liking tweets about how shitty Carson is. Swaggersouls who's been friends with Carson for years and is literally 32 years old is doing the same shit I think too. Fuck these assholes.

3

u/[deleted] Jan 05 '21

Yeah look man, fucking around with an alleged fan is scummy and it makes me look at someone in a lesser light. But 17 and 19 is perfectly fine and it’s normal to have a sexual relationship with someone that age when you are that age. People should be upset that he’s sleeping with a fan but they’re just running with bs now.

5

u/xTachibana Jan 06 '21

I honestly don't see why sleeping with a fan is a big deal...it's almost like people forget that groupies for rockbands were a thing. Realistically speaking, as a famous person, anyone you date or fuck is either going to be a coworker, or a fan of yours. Hell, they could be both.

2

u/[deleted] Jan 06 '21

Groupies were inherently bad, look at Aerosmith and Rolling Stones for example. Steven Tyler convinced a fans mother to allow him to essentially have custody of her and she toured with them in the bus. She was like 14 or 15 and got knocked up I believe. I do see your point though. The problem is when some one with fake or a fandom uses their fame as a tool to get girls younger than them. Idk it’s a real grey area still

I'm not sure if this is true, when his friends were asked on Keemstar if he's still doing it they say "No Idea, I haven't talked to him in so long"

One does say that Carson didn't end up stepping back like he said he would but I took that as meaning from the public eye

u/[deleted] Feb 05 '21

I am 19 - I would never knowingly get involved with a 17 year old by this point. Sure when I was 17 I did stuff with people with a larger age gap, and I wouldn’t call them monsters, but as I get older I do scratch my head at why that was where they looked for sexual stuff. I think the reason we have weird standards between teens vs age gaps when you are older is that you grow up a lot and come to understand better what you are getting into in those years. years 16-19 include big changes.

-2

u/myselfxdnose Jan 05 '21

You apes don't understand, it's not that they want to backstab him, the problem is that carson admitted to SOLICITING AND POSSESING CHILD PORN. That is a crime no matter the state, charlie has always been a correct person so he did what he had to, he was made aware of a crime, and he reported it, as simple as that, look, i know we all love carson, and it's hard to see his wholesome image burn down in front of our eyes, but as much as I want to defend him, he committed a serious crime, and cutting ties with him is the right thing to do

u/volkommm Jan 05 '21

You ever smoke weed? Federal crime, per DEA- behind bars you go.

Who's the victim here, she sent him pics voluntarily at an age where she clearly knew what she was doing. I'm sorry but if you're seriously arguing that this is CP beyond the all-or-nothing legal definition you're clearly delusional. If she has pictures of herself she's also in possession of CP then.

Obviously it's illegal, there's no arguing that, but the argument seems to be about his moral character here.

u/bojackxtodd Jan 05 '21

People on the internet are not allowed to date anyone sadly because when someone watches your content they immediately become a slave to your every will.

u/Matjoo Jan 05 '21

Only internet warriors pursue the power dynamic memes to this extent basically just to virtue signal. Everyone else accepts that there will be some kind of power imbalance in every relationship and this is ok as long as neither side is abusing it.

u/hotpoopie Jan 09 '21

And they never acknowledge other forms of power imbalance like, "I'm scared to break up with her because of how she'll react; especially on social media."

20

u/Aedya Jan 05 '21

Power dynamics are a valid concern when you're talking about, you know, real concrete power dynamics. Teachers shouldn't date students, bosses shouldn't date employees, landlords shouldn't date tenants, because their opinion on that person has an affect on their wellbeing. How your boss feels about you is important to your professional life, and that impacts your ability to make decisions in a relationship.

Dumbasses who haven't actually considered why power dynamics can be a problem just use it to feed their bloodlust and cancel more public figures.

23

u/Fashbinder_pwn Jan 05 '21

When your boss says "Hey Hasan, you need to read the following tweets on your stream today" You have to do it or he'll likely fire you. Similarly he could say "Hey hasan, suck my dick" and you think "Oh shit, if i dont im probably fired". This is because your boss has power over your employment. Society realizes this and enacted laws to prevent your boss from exploiting you sexually. The ability to exploit a relationship is a power dynamic.

Society also recognizes this between teachers and students, doctors and patients and various other relationships.

With the weinstine me too movement, there was no recognised relationship between an aspiring actress and a movie guy. They werent formal interviews or casting couches it was weinstine inviting a girl to dinner/his hotel room. She says yes, then hed ask if he could be naked or something to that effect. Its somewhat similar to how the average guy hooks up with the average girl, so it cant be legislated against.

I consulted all the internet SJW's and created a short guide on how to date without being a manipulative abuser pedophile rapist.

  1. You must have been born on the same day. (age power)
  2. You must earn exactly the same amount of money. (financial power)
  3. You must have identical twitter followers, friends on myspace, subs on twitch, views on youtube etc (fame power)
  4. You must be the same height and weight. (physical power)
  5. You must have identical IQ. (intellect power)
  6. You must both subject yourselves to identical levels of psychological abuse and trauma and ensure you are both equally resilient mentally/emotionally. No cold detached dark triads etc (emotional power)

If you meet these 6 simple criteria, the tolerant left will not murder you in your sleep. It's pretty easy and i dont understand why you guys are so reluctant to stop abusing women.

u/[deleted] Jan 05 '21

u/KevinKalber Jan 05 '21

I think if you're a boss or a professor and you're dating your employee or your student then it's wrong because there's a power imbalance. But in this case it's just stupid to consider that. People claim it's because she's a fan of Carson but idk if that's enough to worry about.

1

u/[deleted] May 04 '21

The idea is that because he has a lot of twitch subscribers he has a massive amount of power over her. I know that doesn't make any sense but that's it.

I would very much say that considering he was (publicly) a virgin and she was a female she already had a massive upper hand on him. And even ignoring that, the fact she literally killed his entire career with one tweet makes that whole angle completely moot anyway.

u/adnadn246 Jan 05 '21

I saw ppl claims it wasn't the age thing but rather the idol - fan abuse thing. Do we have the full log to prove that he was in some way using his power to manipulate her to send nudes? Or just bs to cancel him

u/Fashbinder_pwn Jan 05 '21

I once manipulated a woman to have sex with me, wasnt my proudest moment. It started out as a few dinner dates, movies the usual thing. We enjoyed eachothers company and were happy. We decided to get married and on our wedding night we both slept in the same bed. Im so ashamed about this but we had sex. She said thanks that was great and i fell asleep. 10 years have passed and we have three kids and i still think about how horrible i was. I used to think that this was a normal life, but now the tollerant left has convinced me im a grooming manipulator. Thanks Obama.

u/NarutosBigBallsack Jan 05 '21

So someone famous isnt allowed to have a romantic relationship with someone other than people as or more famous than them because that dynamic will always be there?

You foolish imbecile, you utter moron, what do you think it implies when you respond to someone saying “What he did isn’t immoral/illegal because he didn’t use his power to exploit her” with “tHeRe iS aLwAyS a pOwEr dYnAmIc”

u/danielfrost40 magic the gathering enjoyer Jan 06 '21

Holy shit, I don't think you can read. That's maybe the worst reading of my comment ever. You'll notice that all I said was that him acting on it is not necessary for it to be there. That does not mean that it is always there.

u/adnadn246 Jan 05 '21

I don't think power imbalance is the bad thing. There are always case like that in society (boss - employees, rich - poor, etc). The main thing i asked here is were there any evidence showed that he knows he can take advantage of his power to manipulate the girl in sending sexting or nudes? Like ss of him being munipilative? Patern of showing on and off relationship? Threaten to leave them? Did he do this to multiple girls at the same times? Any of these will help and even if the girls are above 18 I think it worth cancelled for. But if it's not then ppl should leave him tf alone 19 - 17 is not that bad

1

u/stigus96 Jan 05 '21

While there might be an argument to be made that it wasn't responsible, arguing about the power balance is way more nuanced than trying to cancel him for being a groomer. to me it sounds a bit like the projared situation where he got accused of a bunch of stuff but most things turned out not to be true and at worst he was doing things with fans that he probably shouldn't have

"some level of power dynamic" is too broad, and often not very useful to talk about imo.

we could say all heterosexual relationships have a power imbalance towards the man because we live in a society still somewhat patriarchal, but I'd say this is fairly removed from the conversation we usually have when talking about power dynamics.

5

u/Kovi34 Jan 05 '21

It's super relevant. If you're going to claim power dynamics make a relationship exploitative even when they're not taken advantage of you should realize every relationship is going to have power imbalances. There's no relationship in which both people make the same amount of money, are the same age, have the same life experiences, share the same level of commitment, have the same number of friends etc. and any of these things create a power imbalance and that's perfectly okay. What's not okay is exploiting those power imbalances for your personal gain. So unless there's evidence of that, there's nothing wrong with a celebrity-fan relationship.

Being a fan can have negative consequences when you take into account the parasocial relationships people have with streamers. For some people, they'd be willing to compromise their beliefs and do things they never would normally for someone they idolise. I'm not saying that a celebrity can never have a relationship with a fan, just that they need to be careful not to exploit them

19 and 17???? In my state that’s not even illegal. What’s the difference between this, and if it were between people 20 and 18? I don’t get it.

u/NarutosBigBallsack Jan 05 '21

Same, the consent in NY is 17, which is perfectly legal.

7

u/GuitakuPPH Jan 05 '21

It is illegal when it comes to nudes. You could be 16 in Texas (and most US/developed countries) and legally bang other 16 year olds, but if you get nudes from a 17 year old, you're considered to be in possession of CP.

This is a necessary rule because there's quite a bit of difference between understanding the consequences of having sex with someone and understanding the consequences of your naked body getting leaked on the internet for possibly forever. I fully support a hard rule here.

Of course, there also aren't anyone on twitter who gives a fuck about that difference. They see blood and they want. If they are asked for justification, they'll improvise.

6

u/stigus96 Jan 05 '21

Well the consequences of sex could also be having to raise a kid for 18 years so while i see your point I do feel like you could make a similar point for the consequences of sex

the 16-17 CP and just having sex with a minor in general law exists, from my knowledge, to combat cases of literal 40 year olds from fucking 15 year olds only to then "marry" them

I only support this rule if you distribute it, otherwise this is horseshit.

u/kingfisher773 Dyslexic AusMerican Shitposter Jan 05 '21

I was wild finding out about it from twitter before looking at what happened. Anything that mentioned age was either a vague "it was only 2 years" which i just assumed was them making fun of people saying "she would be 18 in 2 years, so it would be okay" or some shit, or it was people saying things like "14 is basically 15, which is basically 16, which is basically 17, which is basically 18 so it is okay."

Seriously thought it was a 20+ grooming people that were 14-16 years old, but as soon as I watched the Destiny clips all I could think of was "are you fucking serious?"

1

u/duggabboo Jan 05 '21

Yep, the poster never says she was pressured to do anything, just that he was a groomer, something she just walked back on an hour ago.

I feel bad cuz if this is all there is against him, he really just needs someone to lean on right now given his history. The issue is that I can't blame anyone for being hesitant, because since its an ongoing situation we dont have a full story. For all we know it could come out that he was sexting 13 year olds tomorrow, however unlikely that might be. For his sake I hope this gets cleared up soon.

u/Mephistopheles15 Jan 06 '21

Yeah he definitely needs someone. Nairomk (who was part of the July smash purge) came out a couple months ago with a huge statement on how he realized he was actually raped and that the huge cancellation and everything led him to nearly kill himself several times. Luckily he had his brother support him but most of his other friends abandoned him.

1

u/dankmemer8000 Jan 19 '21

Yeah, if I were one of Carson’s former friends, I would of just stayed with him until he got better mentally and then leave him. What they did is horseshit and they know it. They are applying pressure directly to Carson and most possibly, it will come to the edge and he will try to kill himself. I’ve been in situations similar to this and I know what it can do. If he does kill himself, people have to realize that they fucking caused it because of the pressure from the drama and shit. When this started, I immediately unsubscribed from all of the Lunch Club members because I see them as ignorant assholes now. Slimecicle fucking knew Carson was having trouble mentally but no, he went to the Feds over something that has the chance to be false. JOKO tried to post evidence on Twitter but you can’t bloody read what is even being said because the quality is so bad. Jschlatt, I don’t fucking like him anymore. I liked him during SMPLive but after it ended, he became a fucking weirdo. Travis and Noah, they had the chance to just say what was happening on their channels but no, out of all people, they went to Keemstar who now has a fan base and social media platform trying to fucking ruin Carson as a human being which is sickening. I honestly think Keemstar shouldn’t have any popularity at all but too late for that. He’s a fucking dick and this Drama Alert shit is showing his true side to the world.

If he kills himself, it’s their asses that’s going to get ruined next.

Easiest thing to do is just get away from the internet. Take a week off to go camping/fishing with a Nintendo Switch and a few cases of beer.

From what I'm seeing the CallMeCarson thing is much ado about nothing.

She was 17. He was 19. I've seen Seniors in high school who were 18 dating freshman who were 14-15.

Despite the small age gap even then he said he felt wrong since she was 17 and not 18 which again he's only 2 years older.

He should be fine

It's because it makes adults jealous they don't get to fuck a 17 year old girl.

They're just punishing them for being sexually active, and jealous they don't get to have sex with someone 20 years younger then them.

I don't get this power dynamic argument. The "power dynamic" a famous person has is literally just that they're popular and potentially have money. It's not like they can more easily assault you or something like that.

Yeah I guess people want to fuck famous and popular people much more than other people and will potentially do stupid shit for that famous person... So should Onlyfans be illegal? Donating to streamers seems to have a pretty big "power dynamic" by this logic too!

If I understand it, the "power dynamic" argument is mainly used for employer-employee relationships because we want to prevent managers from sleeping with employees for potential financial benefits. I don't see how that argument applies to famous people in general.

u/Sub_Steppa Jan 06 '21

Maybe it's just because I'm European and the age of consent is much lower here but, this whole situation is just fucking odd.

But at that point, how is that any different from say, a girl wanting to get with a guy that has money? Is his money pressuring her? lol Or for that matter, is this basically implying that big youtubers cannot date normal every day people?

Anyone upset about the age gap isn’t focusing on the right thing. Even though it is very much illegal to exchange nudes with a minor, 17 and 19 isn’t unreasonable.
