Daniel Larson: Difference between revisions

{{CW}}{{Videos Need Archiving}}{{Credibility|reason=Compulsive lying, Delusional}}{{Quote|Hello, this is Daniel Larson.|author=Daniel, in almost all of his videos.}}{{Infobox

In 2020, Daniel gained a sizeable following due to his strange Latuda-fueled content. Upon discovery, people sought to [[Trolls|troll]] him for amusement, due to him resembling controversial internet personalities such as [https://sonichu.com/cwcki/Christian_Weston_Chandler Chris Chan] or [[wikipedia:Terry_A._Davis|Terry A. Davis.]] In an attempt to get Daniel to notice them, individuals often pretended to be teams of [[Management|managers]] who stroked his delusions of fame and fortune. Daniel fell for this, unsurprisingly, and this would eventually turn Daniel from simply an odd fellow, into someone with genuine problems, regularly posting controversial and even deranged content.   

Daniel would consider himself a celebrity, specifically, a world-famous musician (despite him not selling a multi-platinum album, and the glaring fact that he is a [[Homeless Era|homeless vagrant]].) Despite this, he is the creator of the smash-hit songs [[Discography|Roaring Thunder and Something More]], as well as being the mind behind several violent and/or disturbing meltdowns and [[incidents]], making him (if anything) more infamous than famous.   

The primary reason behind his behavior is attributed to Daniel having several [[Daniel Larson's health|mental disorders]], and his unwillingness to receive help for them. The specific disorders are not known, although Daniel (and additionally, his parents) has mentioned that he is [[Daniel Larson's health|autistic]][[Daniel Larson's health|,]] suffers from/has<ref>https://archive.org/details/download_20240113</ref> [[Daniel Larson's health|ADHD, bipolar disorder, and, most notably, schizophrenia]]. Confirmation of any medical diagnoses is unclear, but he has resided in a specialized educational environment for individuals with diverse needs, and disability housing, suggesting some professional assessment.

Daniel's content is regularly hosted on many [[Social Media Accounts|TikTok and YouTube accounts]], even though he is widely banned off all mainstream platforms, as well as many [[List of places that have banned Daniel|real-world locations]], often for his extreme and inappropriate actions such as [[The May 6th Incident|exposing his genitals on a live stream]], his [[Pedophilia|pedophilic tendencies]], and [[November 10th Incident|assaulting]] [[College Arc|multiple]] [[December 10th Incident|people]] in real life, namely his [[December 10th Incident|elderly mentor]], [[Bob Proctor]].

From 2021 onwards, Daniel's life would continue in a downward spiral, as he'd move from house to house, before eventually becoming [[Homeless Era|homeless]], contracting [[scabies]], proclaiming himself to be in a relationship with [[Grace VanderWaal]], being exposed for [[Pinterest|pedophilic behaviour]], hopping from manager to manager, [[Dog Arc|adopting a dog]], defrauding a taxi driver, [[Bodega Incident|assaulting a bodega employee]], attempting to enroll in [[College Arc|college]], pulling a fire alarm at an [[Olive Garden Incident|Olive Garden]], [[Jail (Disambiguation)|facing multiple arrests]], having his [[Bob Proctor|mentor]] cut ties with him, making several terroristic threats against the government (along with being charged for it), and becoming significantly more mentally ill than when he first started posting onto the internet.  

There has truly been no internet personality such as Daniel Larson, with his story being described by many as "same shit, different day". Even after years of people trying to help him, Daniel shows no signs of stopping his incredibly dangerous behaviour, to a point where [[Jail Arc 2|police intervention]] was required to get him to cease his activities.   

In short, Daniel's story is one that is most likely fated not to have a happy ending, leaving his life as a tale of bad parenting, the effects of untreated mental illness, guilibility, narcissism, sexual deviancy, criminal activity, and, most importantly, a tale of the world slowly (or quickly, depending on how you see it) watching a man deteriorate through each and every day.  

Daniel Robert Larson was born on November 15, 1998 in [[wikipedia:Lancaster,_California|Lancaster, California,]] to parents [[Elisabeth Shimer|Elisabeth Lee Shimer]] and [[Travis Larson|James Travis Larson]]. His parents were fairly young when they gave birth to him. While Elisabeth's age is not known, Travis was only 20 (and 19 at the start of his Elisabeth's pregnancy) at the time of his son's birth. Daniel's genesis could have been spurred by claims of his father being "obsessed with sex", <ref>[[:File:Elisabeths post about Travis.png]]</ref> however, this cannot be confirmed. In 2001, Daniel's mother would also give birth to his late siblings, [[Family|Joyetta and Olivia]], who would pass away due to RH incompatibility not long after birth.<ref>https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fdannybob98%2Fposts%2Fpfbid0MnyaEcaQ2RWSmKDwvt26jKSZw7xEZRMYiBkFQAV3EENY8vvYHxxfFuLFWcn8FYual</ref>  

When Daniel was a toddler, Daniel was said to have been playmates with his neighbors [[Dog Arc|dog]]. Despite this, In one of his TikToks, Daniel indicates that he murdered this dog. As he chased the dog around, it jumped over a spiked fence to which it eventually impaled itself due to not being able to jump over it in time.<ref>https://www.tiktok.com/@averagelarsonian/video/7196410748418018606</ref> While Daniel obviously was not the one who killed the animal, this small anecdote was most likely the starting point of his violent tendencies.

Daniel's childhood was wrought with tenuous claims of neglect and ''alleged'' [[Pedophilia#Daniel's Sexual Deviance and Possible Sexual Trauma|sexual abuse]], which, if true, may have left him with childhood trauma which exacerbated his already chaotic behavior, and may have contributed to his later [[Pedophilia|pedophilic tendencies]]. A worker who has claimed to have helped him during childhood went on to say Daniel had a "history of child sexual abuse (to him and by him)"<ref>[[:File:Daniel Sexual Abuse claims.png|File:Daniel Sexual Abuse claims.png]]</ref> although what this means is unknown. It has not been confirmed if that worker actually helped Daniel.  

However, claims of Daniel being neglected is confirmed by multiple people, even by his own [[Katie Elise|classmates]]. And allegedly, Daniel's father forced him to smoke cigarettes as punishment.<ref>[[Spiddlekick Interview]]</ref>

This is evidenced by the fact that, at about age 13 to 14 (or presumably at a younger age), Daniel was taken away from his mother by the State of Colorado due to being neglected and facing alleged abuse,<ref name=":0">https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/16juf15/discussing_his_childhood/</ref><ref name=":1">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PsAGVvnzbms&t=1298s</ref> which Daniel and a later news report affirm. Due to this, Daniel claims that he bounced between 10-15 foster homes. This is also evidenced by leaked documents the DDRC sent to potential fosters families/host homes. These documents warns families that Daniel, "has a history of [[7/11 incident|property damage]], [[Dog Arc|kicking animals]], [[August 29th Meltdown|self-injurious]] behavior, and verbally threatening or [[December 10th Incident|hitting providers]] when he's upset" which corroborates claims of Daniel being extremely violent, even in childhood.   

Elisabeth has claimed that Nancy, her adopted mother and Daniel's grandmother, spread lies about her abusing her son,<ref name=":4" /> but the validity of these claims has yet to be substantiated. However, It is ''extremely'' likely that Elisabeth was unable to take care of Daniel due to being disabled and functioning solely in a wheelchair, difficulty only added by the separation of her and his father. Because of her disability, Elisabeth went into assisted living in 2015 when Daniel was 17.
