2020: Difference between revisions

In the fall, Daniel moved in with a caretaker named Dawn, who had two children: Breanna and her brother. He would often post videos with them during this time. This period marked the beginning of what would later become a long series of disturbing incidents. The [[October 27th Incident|first Daniel Larson Incident]] came during a Zoom call, where Daniel was seen fondling himself in front of 25 people. In November, his Pinterest account was leaked, exposing deeply personal and pedophilic content. Daniel vanished from the internet shortly afterward, remaining offline until his return in March the following year.

Daniel continued to post regularly on both TikTok and Twitter, with much of his content focused on his delusional [[Delusions|claims]] of being a model for IMG Models. These posts often included selfies, vague updates about his “career,” and declarations about his supposed success in the fashion industry. He also posted about his desire to be a singer-songwriter and a famous celebrity.

In June 2020, Daniel continued to post regularly, although with not many notable posts, while living in the green bedroom. However, he posted the jumping jacks video again, and often talked about "The Riots".  

Daniel announced that he would be running for [[Presidential Campaign|president]] in the 2020 elections, marking a turning point. This announcement led to him gaining the infamous nickname "Mr. President," which would become a recurring part of his identity. Throughout the month, he began explaining what he would do as president, blending delusional political statements with his usual content, further boosting his online notoriety and attention.

Daniel had amassed tens of thousands of followers and was living in housing provided by a woman named Dawn, who had two children, including one named [[Breanna]]. He frequently went live with the children and posted videos involving them, which quickly raised concerns within the online community. Most notably, this month marked the [[Zoom Incident|'''very first major Daniel Larson incident''']], in which he stripped nude and touched himself during a Zoom meeting, setting a precedent for the disturbing behavior that would follow months later. In response to growing public attention and concern, the [[R/Daniellarson|subreddit]] '''r/Daniellarson''' was created. He released his first song, "[[Fake News]]," on the 31st.

Daniel’s situation began to take a darker turn. Individuals claiming to be his “management” began manipulating him, coercing him into saying offensive [[Daniel and Race|slurs]] and dueting videos of underage girls on TikTok. His bizarre “fog” videos also continued throughout the month. However, the most significant event came when Daniel’s [[Pinterest]] account was discovered, which was filled with pedophilic images of underage girls. The community reacted with immediate concern and outrage. A [[Post-Pinterest Leak Live Stream|Zoom meeting]] was held to confront Daniel about the Pinterest account, during which he denied ownership, though the account was taken down shortly after. Following this incident, Daniel's content output began to noticeably decline.

Following the fallout from the leaked Pinterest account, Daniel was interviewed by [[The Delegation Podcast]] to address the growing controversy. During this time, he was also reported to the FBI due to the pedophilic content discovered on his Pinterest. Facing mounting backlash and growing scrutiny, Daniel went completely offline this month, marking the beginning of a prolonged absence that would last until March of the following year.
