One of the huge topics on reddit right now is the fact that UberDanger, along with a bunch of other You­Tube content creators, are applying malicious tactics to their reddit posts in order to increase their popu­lar­ity.

Supposedly, there is a massive group on Skype of League of Legends content creators on YouTube who post links to their reddit submissions and upvote each other in order to ensure everyone in the group reaches the front page and receives maximum visibility.

Just this is enough to get all associated content creators banned from reddit, as long as the reddit mod­er­ators and administrators are able to verify that it actually happened.

Unfortunately, the validity and severity of this is being diminished by people who are going for more – not just removing immoral content creators from reddit, but also trying to ruin their lives.

An example of this is UberDanger.

UberDanger posted a vlog on YouTube stating that he did, in fact, participate in these unethical practices on reddit in the past. This should be sufficient evidence to ban UberDanger’s content from reddit and move on, never seeing him again.

But people keep bringing up the fact that there is a rumor going around claiming he performed statutory rape on a fifteen-year-old girl in the United States when he visited Boston to attend PAX East.

The validity of the rumor is unproven, as the girl in question has not personally come forward claiming it happened (as far as I’m aware). Thus, there is absolutely no reason to bring a random rumor into a dis­cus­sion regarding a more serious topic about vote manipulation.

Those who keep mentioning the statutory rape accusations are only hurting their own case. It’s common for people to attack the individual if they feel as if their argument in the original debate is lacking.

The argument (UberDanger and his content should be banned from reddit) in the original debate (YouTube content creators, including UberDanger, are abusing reddit and breaking its terms of service) is not lacking.

So stop taking this too far, and keep UberDanger’s personal life out of it.

If he did in fact commit statutory rape, that’s a job for his local justice system, not a job for the “reddit detectives.”
