I don't think it deserves his own thread because over the past few years he's mentally gone down hill, but Twomad has died and some MORE serious allegations have dropped about him.

Never heard of the guy before today, but in the last hour I've already seen more of his online conduct than I am comfortable with. What an unpleasant individual.

I'm trying not to praise him because the last few years he was insanely unwell, but his early content (while not my liking) was genuinely creative and he had a knack for editing. Think of ADHD on speed.

I honestly forgot he existed until his controversy last year. Just an insane free fall from grace.

Talk bout a disgraced..sorry a pos Youtuber..

Former YouTuber Ruby Franke sentenced to 4-60 years in prison

Franke and business partner Jodi Hildebrandt pleaded guilty to child abuse

Two of Franke's children were found malnourished in Hildebrandt's home

Franke admitted to torturing her children in a plea agreement

Former YouTube mom Ruby Franke and her business partner Jodi Hildebrandt were sentenced Tuesday on child abuse charges, with both women receiving sentences of four to 60 years in prison.

The women were each given four 1-15 year sentences to be served consecutively. While that could result in imprisonment as long as 60 years, the Utah Board of Pardons and Parole will determine the exact length each woman will serve.

Speaking in court, Franke was emotional, thanking the court for the opportunity to be held accountable and saying she was willing to spend as much time in prison as it would take for her to unlearn the “misinformation” she believed and promoted.

“I’m sorry for twisting God’s word and distorting his doctrines,” she said.

Both women will have 30 days to appeal their sentences.

The women were each charged with six counts of felony child abuse after two of Franke’s six children were found malnourished in the basement of Hildebrandt’s home. Each pleaded guilty to four counts of second-degree child abuse.

In her plea agreement, Franke admitted to torturing her son, including depriving him of food and water and subjecting him to physical labor, isolating him from others and depriving him of any entertainment.

She also admitted to kicking him, holding his head underwater and cutting off his oxygen by putting her hands over his mouth and nose, as well as binding him after he attempted to run away.

While her daughter was not subject to the same physical attacks as her brother, Franke admitted to also denying her food and water and subjecting her to long hours of physical labor in the summer heat without any protection from the sun.

Franke told her daughter she was evil and needed to repent, forcing her to run barefoot outside in the heat.

Franke became famous for the “8 Passengers” YouTube channel she ran with her husband, documenting her family life and offering parenting advice.

But the channel came under criticism for Franke’s harsh parenting tactics, including taking away a child’s bed as punishment and refusing to bring her 6-year-old child lunch at school after she forgot it.

When “8 Passengers” ended, Franke teamed up with Hildebrandt, a licensed counselor, to start a new counseling-focused channel called ConneXions Classroom. Hildebrandt surrendered her license when she pleaded guilty to the child abuse charges.

At some point, Franke and two of the children moved in with Hildebrandt. Kevin Franke, her husband, was not living with the family at the time.

Franke and Hildebrandt were arrested after Franke’s son ran to a neighbor’s house, who called police when she noticed the child was malnourished and appeared to have tape on his wrists and ankles. When they responded, authorities found Franke’s daughter in Hildebrandt’s home, in similar condition.

Police took all of the minor children into custody. The oldest daughter had already cut ties with her family and is attending Brigham Young University, while the whereabouts of Franke’s 18-year-old son are unknown.

Here's a pretty good sum-up of the Ruby Franke stuff. Language warning.

Honestly the craziest thing about this story is how f***ing long it took for something to actually be done about it, because she'd previously done stuff well before that like punishing one of her kids for a prank by not allowing him to use a bed for seven months, and that was before she fell into a weird child abuse cult.

I never even heard of this Twomad guy before this. A quick google search shows me what a real piece of shit he is.

Good riddance.

yeah never heard of him... and of course people are saying "WHY ARE YOU BRINGING THIS UP NOW THAT HE'S DEAD" ignoring the words "Ongoing police investigations" which mean you generally can't say things in public.

It shouldn't be legal to put photos or videos of your kids online. It just shouldn't be. The kids don't get a say, and that shit is out there forever, and they can change their minds later or become legally accountable for themselves and it's just... too late.

I'm not entirely sure I'd go that far (though I do agree in spirit, it's mostly a practicality matter), but I do definitely think this family channel shit should be harshly banned. No clue both who would want every waking moment of their family's lives on Youtube or why someone else would ever want to watch that and time after time after time I keep hearing completely f***ed up stories coming from that sphere.

I just found out that Angry reactions guy got arrested for an alleged domestic violence incident. He seems like a good guy, so I’m gonna wait until more info comes out, but it seems his reputation gonna take a huge hit. The Instagram reels/tiktoker already making their videos an out him as you would expect. Apparently the woman didn’t even want him arrested, but the da going staying him hard.

Also my answer to "Don't disrespect the dead" is always "don't be a Piece of shit when you're alive"

So I was watching this woman because she was following the iiluminaughtii stuff, and now it seems like internet turned on her.

I don’t think she did anything wrong, but it’s crazy how the tables turn. One day, you’re the one covering the drama, and then one day, you become the drama

[The Dark Order Inferno]

If you build a career built on monetising the drama of others you better be certain you're squeaky clean as your fellow drama scavengers will turn on you the first chance they get like Hyenas on Scar at the end of the Lion king. Just ask people like Vaush how it's going for them.

Worlds collide as Ronda and Dwayne are becoming subjects of these rise and fall YouTubers

Rock has always been the corporate Rock for real.

[unc40]

I am no fan of The Rock or Ronda Rousey but people are finding the stupidest things to find fault on the two.

The entire drama sphere is self cannibalizing by its very nature. You can't train an audience to point and laugh at someone else and not expect them to do it to you. It doesn't help that thanks to YouTube monitozation so many of these people are incentived to make a living out of it, so the retread the same people over and over again.

And even the strategy of being squeaky clean doesn’t work. If you’re squeaky clean then sooner or later someone will just exaggerate something trivial to the point of absurdity. Or just make something up.

I mean just look at The Rock video above. He’s not the best example as the dude is hardly squeaky clean, but one of the first examples in this downfall video is he lied about *GASP* eating In-N-Out for the first time. The bastard!

Hell, look at the second thumbnail. "Anything for money" coming from someone making money covering shit of no importance.

Okay who is Dr disrespect and what did he do? I know this name because of Irate Gamer oddly made a weird commentary video about him out of character. Chris Bores seems like an odd dude, going on about Ghosts, a “spiritual level”, hinting about some dark YouTube hierarchy that’s going to come out. Also, hinting at some weird stuff with Mr Beast.

He's kind of an old face in the Let's Play community, kind of stands out for playing a big over the top character. He's also kind of just a general dipshit controversy magnet, most notable for the time he filmed people in the bathroom at E3 and getting banned abruptly mid-stream on Twitch for nebulous reasons that according to a former higher up were for sexting a minor but no actual confirmation ever came out. He's also one of those, "Keep politics out of games, by the way I f***ing hate trans people," assholes so yeah, just in general the dude sucks.

And said Twtich accusation came out recently, with many people thinking that whatever NDA was keeping that info from getting out had expired.
