i will always defend alex day/nerimon and i dont care what anyone says. literally what are the accusations? being sort of an annoying twat? being kinda bad in bed? sleeping around? (yeah, that last one is bad but cmon. thats what idiot teenagers do. he didnt need his life ruined over it.)

literally, if you know the name alex day you probably think 'that one time british youtube star? yeah i kinda remember but idk actually, i think he was a rapist or something? probably a pedophile rapist predator. thats what everyone says. idk but everyone hates him and he doesnt have an online presence anymore because idk actually i think hes buddhist now or smth? idc fucking rapist scum'

like, i understand completely how it happened (dont forget to be awesome!) there were soo many dirty fucking scumbags around in that era of youtube (and still are! more so, infact!) and like... seriously, im not trying to undermine the fact that there were (and are) actual predators on these platforms, or that he was close to them (dont forget to be awesome!) but so was LITERALLY EVERYONE ELSE. it was fucking shameful how charlie, the vlogbrothers, everyone else just shunned him like that. youtube literally died that day, and if you dont believe me, try to find videos from that time. theyre gone. theyre all gone. they all want to forget about it.

i dont deny it was fucking scummy of him how he broke carries heart, or how he used his fame to get girls but... cmon. these were girls who were literally singing 'i want to be mrs nerimon' (iykyk) and flying from america to meet up with him. what 19yo dude who wants to be a famous musician wouldnt jump at that oppurtunity? im not saying he was/is a good musician btw. hes fucking awful.

but i actually beg everyone (who was there, digitally atleast, during the nerdfighter era and who remember those times. you know who you are. you guys who grew up with harry potter and loved it and hate yourselves for it today) ESPECIALLY those who hate him, to read his book 'living and dying on the internet' and try to hear it from his point of view. like, yes, obviously youre hearing the perspective of the annoying narcissistic twat we all know and love/hate, but also one who was one of the first vloggers in that wildwest era of youtube, who has a lot of insight, and who i believe really didnt do anything all that wrong, and even if he did has clearly fully repented in giving up his youtube career and everything. you can find it easily for free online, the book that is. its a good read.

i will say though that it was pretty scummy of him to publish the book having it detail his relationship with carrie (not explicitly, like) when she specifically asked him not to, and using pseudonyms to get around it, that was fucked up; but at the same time i cant fucking blame him! having all your friends suddenly turn on you to save their own reputations, everyone treating you as some evil monster for the smallest of human failings. i dont blame him for wanting to atleast give his side of the story.

idk, it really is a good example of the childish backbiting nature of the fandom-left i think, which WILL ultimately be its doom; and we all know it. and if you disagree with me, well, feel free leave a comment in the doobly-doo, and Dont Forget To Be Awesome!

Anyway ouugh the overwhelming urge to make shippy little Doctor/Master The End of Time Part 2 gifsets set to Chameleon Circuit’s Exterminate Regenerate like it’s 2009 and DW is still relatively unknown to a US market

i had this dream last night, totally out of nowhere. that Tom Milsom released new music. i mean, i guess he could’ve, i wouldn’t know, i’m not keeping tabs. Tom Milsom? oh he was like one of the original tumblr seapunks, infamously did a cover of 212 where he said the word, got cancelled for sex crimes. it was around the same time as the Nerimon thing. they were close friends actually. Nerimon? yeah they were both british youtubers, both got cancelled for sex crimes in similar circumstances. they were in the same circle as this trans girl who goes by Charlotte now, she’s cool though. this was pre-transition. ah you’re not familiar? her and Nerimon were in this trock band called Chameleon Circuit together. oh trock? it stands for time rock, uh, it’s rock music about the show Doctor Who. you know, cause he’s the time lord. a lot of trock artists were on DFTBA Records together. you know DFTBA right? it stands for “don’t forget to be awesome,” it was started by the Vlogbrothers. ahh so, the Vlogbrothers kinda originally got famous for this long-running vlog series where they’d trade off each week addressing their video to the other brother, but then they each independently got famous. one did a lot of science education stuff, and the other wrote some really popular YA novels, but then had the whole “cock is one of my favorite tastes” thing happen,

my first ship was bella and edward my first gay ship was charlieissocoollike and nerimon (💀) and then i got tumblr and it was over for me. spent so long in those youtuber rpf and bandom mines. all while shipping kurtofsky AND klaine. i literally wrote klaine mpreg in a notebook at middle school. Stony was unfortunately formative in many ways

Why is no one talking about dan trying to make phil upset by saying he wants to replace him with nerimon / alex day ???? What was that about ??? Does anyone have the lore ??? It looked like it actually worked and annoyed phil that he had a serious face and tone and said "take that back." ???

i don’t think anyone brings that up because that man was revealed to have sexually assaulted multiple women and abused one of their friends

Right, so there I am at work today, avoiding actual work like a pro, when my brain decides to go "Oi, remember that book you forgot to add to your Literal list when you ditched Goodreads?" Living and Dying on the Internet, yeah? So I pop over there to sort it, only to find some proper sanctimonious cow's left a review that screams "I've read the back cover and decided to be offended." Why this got right up my nose, I couldn't tell you, but it proper did.

Maybe because it reminded me of this whole mess back in 2009. I'm twenty-something and dating this half-Irish bloke I'll call 'x' (lowercase intended, trust me). One day, like the absolute muppet I was, I cycle SIX BLOODY MILES on my day off to bring him a homemade lunch at work. Already sounds pathetic, doesn't it? Gets better.

So I rock up to find him, and his mate goes "Oh, he's by his car." Now, when someone says that, you don't exactly expect to find your boyfriend shagging the department manager in the back of his hideous yellow Buick Regal, do you? But there they were, going at it like rabbits on Red Bull. And she's ginger! Because of course she is! I proper dropped that lunch like it was on fire and legged it to my bike. Meanwhile, x is chasing after me with his tackle hanging out, begging to drive me home. Romance isn't dead, ladies and gentlemen!

Back at mine, this absolute weapon starts banging on about how SAD he is that his mate's got a baby and he hasn't. Rich, considering when I crashed said mate's girlfriend's BMW while trying to be helpful with baby-related grocery runs, he couldn't even be bothered to pick up the hospital phone. Too busy playing God of War - that game I queued until midnight to buy him on his birthday, while my lovingly crafted scrapbook ended up in the bin. Should've seen that red flag waving, shouldn't I? Proper massive, that one. Like a communist parade.

When I pointed out that maybe fatherhood wasn't his calling (understatement of the century), he calls me "too mature and stuck up" - because obviously that's the worst thing you can be - and dumps ME! Then, because the universe was clearly having a laugh, I got sacked the next day. No explanation, just "Off you pop!"

But wait! The circus isn't over! Few weeks later, his mom rings MY mom saying he's topped himself. Except he hadn't, had he? Just faked his own death like you do. As you do. Totally normal behavior.

My mom, bless her newly unemployed heart, decides retail therapy via Europe is the answer. Drags me to Shakespeare & Co where I find this poem by @nerimon. Family's all "You should reach out!" Like some sort of cosmic joke, he actually sends me his music CD later. Turns out to be a proper decent mate through all the relationship car crashes that followed.

Years later, the internet explodes with accusations about x being a sexual abuser. His mates are all "Pick a side!" like we're choosing teams for rounders. My mom, suddenly channeling wisdom, goes "Don't believe everything you read online." So I kept my gob shut, didn't I? Lost those friends faster than a tenner in a washing machine.

Read his book after all that kicked off and felt like the world's worst friend. Guilt's a proper bastard like that. Looking back, his exes were textbook narcissists - sweet as pie in public, proper nasty pieces of work behind closed doors.

These days, I've mostly moved on. Hope he's alright and all that. But bloody hell, the drama of it all. Makes me wonder if I should write my own book. Could call it "How Not to Date: A Comprehensive Guide to Spotting Yellow Buick Red Flags."

And here I am getting wound up about some random review on Literal. Perspective, innit?

It is possible that my first Youtuber experience was watching a future sexual predator (or just future-caught) make fun of Twilight and I’m not gonna revisit that asshole to compare. But I would like to replace that memory with this.

I’ve been feeling really sad ever since the news about Noel Clarke dropped. It’s a very upsetting article, but very important. Somehow it’s still shocking to learn that powerful, seemingly charming men can be monsters.
