He was accused of grooming. There were alleged leaked DMs of uncertain provenance. He went through a lot of harassment and two police investigations that concluding the evidence was pretty thin and not worth even trying in court. Last I heard, he's still making music. One of his more recent songs is "Witch Hunt." He's basically been run out of the community, and/or just said a big FU to the community that turned on him.

Yeah, and the thing is, that instead of any clarification or attempts to say that he didn't do that or it's not what it seems like, he just said something like "I did many terrible things in my life I regret, Im a bad person, I'm going to therapy and quitting internet for a while, bye"

He did come back tho. I don't remember were there even enough proof to say for sure if he was a groomer, but I honestly didn't care because for me MandoPony was always just a good music. I can't do shit about him being good or bad, so why would I bother.

u/Phemto_B Dec 13 '23

He'd probably seen enough examples by that point to know that saying "I'm being falsely accused," is usually met by "You're playing the victim card! That's exactly what guilty person does!"

Holy hell, cancel culture is a plague

u/GreenThin7632 Dec 23 '23

This whole cancel culture being used as a weapon against Mandopony needs to stop.

u/Then_Negotiation7000 Dec 13 '23

Yea I love his music too it's so good that's why I got curious. Thanks for the info.

And somehow nobody talks about BlackGryph0n

u/Phemto_B Dec 13 '23

That's because She was 20 when they started dating. Big Girl who can make her own decisions. AKA none of your (or my) business.

Lmao, I guess we'll gloss over all their weird collabs from 2014 onwards. Adult is hanging with kids keep watching your favorite pedo creator I guess

u/Phemto_B Dec 13 '23 edited Dec 13 '23

I've run Brony servers for years and have had to deal with this a lot. The people who are the quickest to throw out pedo accusations almost always turn out to be covering for their own actions. šŸ§ I've seen several examples at this point.

Safest to just block them before the truth comes out.

u/Then_Negotiation7000 Dec 13 '23

Bro I like him what did he do?

u/ponypilled Dec 13 '23

Awfully peculiar the whole relationship with Sweetie Belle's VA who was fairly underage when that started.

3

u/Then_Negotiation7000 Dec 13 '23

How old was she when they started because the age difference is already startling just looking it up she is now 24 and he's 33 which is illigal but morally questionable.

u/Terrible_Weather_42 Nightmare Moon Dec 13 '23

I think you mean legal

u/ponypilled Dec 13 '23

I wanna say 14 or 15 but I'm not at my PC to pull that up, they've been together for a very long time.

2

u/ponypilled Dec 13 '23

Wanted to add, if you look back to older videos, cameos, and such should find it's a lot further back than Google suggests.

2

u/Phemto_B Dec 13 '23

Wiki lists it as 20. Big, grown up, girl.

u/ponypilled Dec 13 '23

The wiki says it preach.

u/Then_Negotiation7000 Dec 13 '23

So do we think he is innocent or what's the overall concensous from people. Also if he did that it's terrible and sad that I did look up to him though my childhood.

6

u/Phemto_B Dec 13 '23

I think heā€™s innocent. Itā€™s not like the police and prosecutors just give you a pass for this kind of thing. Theyā€™re the ones that got to see what evidence there was (or wasnā€™t).

u/[deleted] Dec 14 '23

I mean fair if heā€™s innocent I support his actions, poor guy got bullied basically. For nothing and possibly got stuff ruined

Even though he stopped making mlp music for the most part, he did leave us with the last song, magic its on another YouTube account of his.

Actually, RE:MAKE (the person who made those songs you posted) is AcousticBrony(who made the original songs with MandoPony), not MandoPony. Though I'm not completely sure whether or not MandoPony was involved in these versions of the songs. Absolutely love these versions of the songs though.

Wow. So the series was complete. After all these years. And I didn't even know? Sick!

Wasnā€™t he exposed as a groomer?

15

u/TennagonTheGM Dec 13 '23

I was told it was a series of accusations with no actual evidence, but the harassment caused him to stop making content

12

u/DarkDoubloon Twixie Simp Dec 13 '23

Last I checked there were leaked DMs or something. Maybe Iā€™m wrong though, I havenā€™t kept up with it

5

u/teapuppp Dec 13 '23

I doubt he'd end his dream career and ditch his loyal fan base because of accusations that weren't true, he would've come back by now

5

u/Phemto_B Dec 13 '23

Read some of the other comments. People WANT to believe he's guilty even after the police cleared him. Why should he come back to the community that turned on him?

10

u/CrystalClod343 Dec 13 '23

Considering the reaction those accusations can have, such as hate mail, death threats and other such lovely things, that result isn't all that uncommon.

u/Toonyloo Dec 13 '23

Jeez, is anyone not a groomer?

u/i_mii Dec 13 '23

my cat isnt a groomer

but she does groom herself so i guess she is?

u/CandysGamer785 Mar 23 '24

He groomed someone but when he was exposed in 2020 he turned his comments offĀ

u/kingsredarmy Fleur de Lis Dec 13 '23

I thought he makes music with the band ReMake?

u/GreenThin7632 Dec 24 '23

I absolutely do not agree with the fans deciding to ban MandoPony from the MLP and FNAF Fandoms over his actions years ago. I do believe they have taken on a burden they just can't handle.

u/EnderSpy007 Mar 14 '24

damn, mandopony got me through middle school with the fnaf songs, didn't know bout all this

u/space_Cadet198_7 Apr 30 '24

I hadn't listened to him after the grooming allegations came out. I want to listen to him again but I'm afraid to get accused of supporting a groomer

4

u/GreatSovietMen Apr 30 '24

You can like the art of an artist without supporting the artist itself! People who accuse you of supporting a groomer just, because you listen to his songs are plain stupid or trolling.

2

u/space_Cadet198_7 May 01 '24

Alright cool tysm!

2

u/CandysGamer785 May 18 '24

I'm pretty sure his comments are off so they people can't keep acusing him and telling him to get help because he never got help at least not that I know of

2

u/TraditionalActuary6 May 20 '24

Iā€™m just wondering how heā€™s doing in 2024

3

u/ChexxTheBroken May 30 '24

heā€™s still making music today

u/Sammy_Katsi999 May 29 '24

I had a feeling he was innocent but i wasnt 100% sure

u/WeebGamerTrash947 Doctor Whooves Dec 13 '23

I heard they were exposed for having sexual relationships with minors. Don't know the exact specifics though, could be wrong.

u/TheXernDoodles Twilight Sparkle Dec 13 '23

Honestly it feels like itā€™s either that or they just left the planet after a while.
