Teenagers

Beware of this Youtuber

(I have already posted this thread in "Internet Safety", but I think it belongs here as well. If HQ disagrees, please, remove.)

This is directed at the parents of teenagers and pre-teens, but whether you have children of that age or not, please, read through - you could potentially prevent the child(ren) of a family member, or a friend from putting themselves in a potentially dangerous position!

This 31 year old YouTuber, Onision, has for a very long time been exploiting teenage girls for his own profit in his YouTube videos. Young girls (some of them looking frighteningly young) post pictures (many of them very sparingly dressed) of their bodies to his website, for him to rate publicly on his channels.
He has on numerous occasions belittled, bullied and sexualized these girls, again, publicly!

That aside, his content is extremely inappropriate, and he will often give very detailed, graphic stories about his sex life with his current wife and their 19 year old girlfriend. He ridicules serious issues like anorexia, depression, and other mental problems, and publicly shames his viewers, if they disagree. He has a 16 year old girl (who's supposedly his wife's friend) living with him as well.

Throughout his YouTube carrier, he has been with two minors, one of which he drove into a suicidal state, and the other which he married (his current wife). Both were fans of his.

A huge part of his audience are girls in their early to mid teens. He's very manipulative, and seems to have a very tight grasp on many of them.

Please, beware of this guy!

I don't have teenagers yet but bloody hell, this is vile. How has this man not been stopped already???

l4dybug · 22/12/2016 08:07

Apparently there are people who have tried for years. The public just haven't noticed.

DeleteOrDecay · 22/12/2016 08:24

I am truly shocked, he is predatory and disgusting. I hate the DM but it would be great if they did run a story on this just to raise awareness. Hopefully other news outlets will pick up on it too.

DeleteOrDecay · 22/12/2016 08:25

It would also be good to have so!Etching to share on social media too.

DeleteOrDecay · 22/12/2016 08:25

*to have something

There's an article here you could share!

Unfortunately the Daily Mail is also known for inappropriate comments about underage girls.

Thanks l4dybug I have shared.

BertrandRussell · 22/12/2016 09:09

Is there any reason you think the Daily Mail is the most appropriate paper to run this?

Allofaflumble · 22/12/2016 09:10

What a whiny unattractive drip he is! The voice stopped me watching more than a few seconds.

sijjy · 22/12/2016 09:20

Thank you for the warning about this as I've never heard of it. I have a dd 16 that I will be talking to to make sure she doesn't have anything to do with this person. I also have a 10yr old ds that is YouTube mad so will be checking his history and talking to him as I think it's also important that he doesn't think it's ok to treat girls in this way.

DeleteOrDecay · 22/12/2016 09:28

I wonder if mnhq could share this post on Fb/Twitter too to help spread the word.

bowchikkawowwow · 22/12/2016 09:39

Bert because they have a huge amount of readers?

BertrandRussell · 22/12/2016 09:51

But an abysmal record on the sexualization of young girls......

Puddington · 22/12/2016 16:21

I honestly think I hate Onision more than pretty much anyone in the world. He's been married twice with a string of young girlfriends in between and has abused them ALL methodically and horrifically, yet somehow the fact he is vaguely famous online enables him to keep ensnaring these young girls, convincing them to visit him and do whatever he says :( I don't know why their parents even allow them to travel to this stranger's house in the first place, nobody seems to care for their wellbeing. He also apparently has two children with his current wife (the thought of him as a father to anyone is horrifying) and has forced her into a polyamorous setup which she has explicitly stated she did not want, and which in practice turned into simply a way for him to be able to sleep with her friends and pretend it was fine.

He is an absolute sociopath, one of the most abusive people I have ever seen, and yet he still has thousands and thousands of fans who think he can do no wrong. His behaviour escalates constantly.

There have been many many groups actively campaigning against his behaviour and trying to inform and warn people about him for many years but it seems to make no difference. He is scum.

DeleteOrDecay · 22/12/2016 17:01

He is essentially abusing young women and girls in plain sight for all to see. I can't believe he is allowed to get away with this. I am sickened.

LuluLovesFruitcakes · 22/12/2016 17:26

That is both disturbing and horrific in equal measure. How is he allowed to continue this??

l4dybug · 22/12/2016 17:41

@LuLuLovesFruitcakes

Apparently it's not entirely illegal. And he's making YouTube money, so they don't care.

OP posts:

LuluLovesFruitcakes · 22/12/2016 17:44

That's just so so wrong :(

l4dybug · 22/12/2016 17:57

@LuLuFruitcakes It is. Several news outlets have been emailed now, but they don't seem to care much either..

OP posts:

DeleteOrDecay · 22/12/2016 18:16

So shocking that no one seems to care, have we gone back in time to the 1970's??

l4dybug · 22/12/2016 18:27

@DeleteOrDecay it's very sad.

OP posts:

itsbetterthanabox · 22/12/2016 18:28

I agree he's an objectionable man who seems to have some serious issues but he's not doing anything illegal.
His real personal life is not really known a lot of the stories and drama are made up for views. And it works!
He doesn't ask anyone underage to send explicit or half clothed shots to him to show on videos and he only shows ones that are half clothed of people over the age of consent.
He is a knob but he's not a threat, particularly to people in the UK.

YouTube have just made YouTube kids a family friendly version of the app that limits more adult content.
