' | === The Beginning === | ||
The Classic Era began in March 2020 with the creation of Daniel's notable TikTok account, @daniellarsonfans, where his unorthodox appearance and strange mannerisms quickly gained him a cult following. His content ranged from showcasing his disability housing to expressing his aspirations to be a singer-songwriter and celebrity. During the COVID-19 stay-at-home orders, Daniel's social media activity increased, and one of his popular videos, where he thanked his followers in a green shirt, marked a significant rise in his popularity. In May 2020, he voiced opinions on the George Floyd protests and continued to post popular videos. In July, he announced his 2020 presidential candidacy, gaining ironic support. By August, trolls under the guise of "[[management]]" companies and record labels began exploiting his desire for fame, manipulating him and leading to increasingly offensive and questionable actions. Despite this, Daniel continued to amass followers, released his first song, "Fake News," in October 2020. | |||
=== Pinterest and the Dark Age === | |||
On November 17, 2020, Daniel's Pinterest account was found and subsequently leaked. The account had albums filled with images of children, and celebrities such as [[Grace VanderWaal]] and [[Darci Lynne|Darci Lynne Farmer]], who were both 16 at the time of it being found, yet younger in the saved photos. This wasn't the only thing found in the pinterest accounts, with various other items suggesting that Daniel had a sexual interest in little girls. This was clearly not a good look for Daniel, who immediately attempted damage control with claiming that the account wasn't his, even suggesting he had no idea what Pinterest was. Despite these claims, the account was found to have been created way before Daniel's TikTok fame and the subsequent appearance of management.<ref>https://archive.org/details/daniel-larsons-pinterest</ref> At some point, Daniel would admit ownership of the account, then immediately return to denying its existence. He was confronted by multiple parties about the account, including then-management [[Roach Records]], and various fans. Subsequently, Daniel would delete the Pinterest account by Novemeber 21, and admit that he masturbated to said pictures, then locking down his TikTok account until December. Upon returning, he was interviewed by "The Delegation Podcast", who reported Daniel to the FBI under the belief that Daniel was in possession of CSEM, based on more evidence which included Instagram searches on Daniel's account of concerningly young girls. <ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WYU_gkE83Mo</ref> | |||
On December 17, 2020, Daniel made his final post, claiming to be auditioning for America's Got Talent and asking his audience to "Please stay tuned," despite this assurance, he did not post again after this.<ref>https://www.tiktok.com/@moe_lesterrecords/video/6909565297334832390</ref> The circumstances surrounding his disappearance are unclear. Some theories claim several calls to the FBI resulted in him losing access to social media. Others claim his case manager, [[Reva]], took away his phone for six months. Regardless, Daniel remained absent for several months. | |||

While there are foggy videos from all the way in November of 2020,<ref>https://www.tiktok.com/@daniellarsonfueckme/video/6895224419585740037</ref> the fog would begin appearing regularly in his videos, reaching its apex around July. Following the instructions of his management, he covered his camera with tape, resulting in a hazy, fog-like visual effect over his recordings for several months. This arc coincided the peak of [https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/the-fog-is-coming "the Fog" meme], which was a meme warned viewers of an ominous, Lovecraftian fog. Many comments on Daniel's videos referenced this meme, with phrases such as "The fog is coming." It's probable that Daniel didn't fully grasp the meaning behind these comments. Daniel released [[Music Career|Roaring Thunder]] on July 15, which became his most well-known song. It was around this time that The Fog started appearing in his videos. | |||
During this period, he shared various notable videos featuring this "unique visual style." One of the most memorable videos he posted was on TikTok, in which he said, "Rest in Peace George Floyd, the police should be terminated."<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qpy-ee9F-AA&list=PLru94IaNy8vbgMzjtIiLFnyQ2FwBPCtQL&index=22</ref> In addition to these more serious videos, Daniel continued posting, with videos such as him rubbing his nipples to [[Darci Lynne]] and Grace VanderWaal,{{Citation Needed}} apologizing to "Penus Ajun Grill,"{{Citation Needed}} and a three-minute altercation with his caretaker Jonas.{{Citation Needed}} | During this period, he shared various notable videos featuring this "unique visual style."
