So Dan from Game Grumps (aged 42) is getting cancelled for supposed grooming. I don't want to say he's not a groomer, because theres stuff about other alleged behavior that isnt detailed at all in it.

But like the story presented is that a 17 year old fan started messaging him. He thanks her for her support and wishes her a happy birthday when she turns 18 about a month later. Then nothing is shown until the fans 22 and they exchange some cringey sexts. Then apparently they fuck and he breaks things off. And everyone's calling this grooming, but like, that's not what grooming is? I donno, it just feels like people really have been stretching definitions of things for the last year like with that Alex Morse thing to take advantage of cancel culture. And it seems like it only causes people to ignore victims who are actually groomed.

      If you're thinking of Ryan from Roosterteeth then that was actually children not people over the age of consent. And at the same time Adam from funhaus got fired cause he did weird sex stuff at work and sent people videos of his wife iirc

        I'm prepared for another Ryan situation, but as OP pointed out, the evidence seems way more flimsy than what initially came out about Ryan Haywood which was way more believable, and that was before the first accusation came out. There could be more coming out in a few days.

      The Rooster Teeth situation is way worse than what Dan has on him right now.
