Thanks for the feedback. I went back through and added links to all my examples so you can get the context.

The point of view was kind of already answered by one of their mods but I'll expand on it.

Ice Poseidon has been a live streamer for about 4 years now, he gained fame by having an edgy community on Twitch until he was ultimately banned for not controlling the racist donations on his stream and being swatted. He then moved to Youtube where he indulged in degenerate content such as using homeless people for his stream, allowing more racist donations to play, and pushing the bar on how edgy he could make his stream.

His community grew so toxic from being unchecked for so long that he could no longer control it. They started attacking everyone around him and it was becoming a huge problem. He closed his reddit because he couldn't deal with it anymore and this caused a huge backlash. This is where the majority of IP2 came from, they are disgruntled fans of his.

So now he had what was left of his community and an opposing faction to deal with (IP2). He decided that he didn't want to do degenerate content anymore because it lead him to that awful point. So he set out to rebrand himself, clean up his act and try something new. He started streaming on Mixer and more importantly he followed a strict set of rules enforced by Mixer.

IP2 was eventually banned off reddit since they continued to harass him and other streamers and arrived here. By that point Ice had a new following on Mixer and stopped talking about IP2 all together. However, IP2 had a deep grudge and couldn't stand seeing him try to reform himself. So they once again went after everyone around him by sending them compilations of things he did years ago. They also went around any place that had mention of him and pushed a false narrative that he was a pedophile or that he ran a ponzi scheme. Ice Poseidon was investigated by the FBI already at this point and cleared. There has also never been any criminal charges brought against him other than sneaking into a convention in a trojan horse/llama. So it was all baseless accusations.

So we are here now, where once again they are trying to harass everyone around Ice Poseidon because he has a big event coming up and they want to do anything they can to stop him from continuing his progress in reforming his brand.

Allowing more racist donations to play

You're really downplaying his content.

His community grew so toxic from being unchecked for so long that he could no longer control it.

You make it out as if he didn't encourage it. Towards the end of his YouTube career, he was still doing things to promote this sort of behavior. For example, comparing black people to literal "shit" to be flushed down a toilet. This was only a few months back. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1_y9JK0ADU

I think you need to check your calendar buddy, that video is a year old now.

I think you need to learn the basics of communication. A few months can constitute any number of months. "How many bacterial cells did you observe today?" "Not as much as yesterday, but still quite a few!" Plus, that video is 10 months old and a few days old, totally within the standard usage. That was just an example, clearly in contrary to "allowing more racist donations to play".
