Ox: Difference between revisions

'''Ox''', also known as '''Oxis''', or '''Ivan''', Daniel Larson's former manager, and one of the more controversial figures in the Daniel Larson community. Ox ran the [[Social Media Accounts|Daniel Larson Twitch account]] and the subsequent links that branch off from it. He also began assisting Daniel by actively trying to dox and find former [[Management|managers]], most of which children, who had trolled Daniel in the past. He currently lives in a RV by himself.  

'''Character:''' Ox is often heavily criticized for how he acts towards Daniel and others in the community. Many in the community claim that Ox seems to ignore Daniel's troubled past and instead blames Daniel's actions on either manipulation or mental illness, and never holds Daniel accountable for himself. Similar to [[Papa Gut]], many people also claim that Ox is uneducated on who Daniel is as a person or the current situation he's in. u/BrianTheLarsonist, a longtime moderator of the r/daniellarson subreddit, came out in a [https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/war230/to_address_the_current_situation_regarding/ post] stating that Ox had blocked all communication with him shortly before the attempted mass flagging campaign on the sub, in which Ox had insulted him numerous times and refused to listen to him regarding Daniel's SSI, and how Ox providing a certain amount over his income threshold could risk Daniel losing his SSI. It was later found this was actually never a problem because everything was in Ox’s name.

Other complaints with Ox include him having some form of hero complex in "saving" Daniel from trolls, in which he makes 3-minute long Tiktok videos threatening action and stating he is gathering evidence against them. Some  dub him a "clout chaser" but these claims are disputable.

None the less, Ox provided majority of Daniel’s food and dozens of hotels sept-august, got him his new Colorado state  ID, monitored Daniel’s socials for trolls and is currently attempting to assist Daniel in California, which seems to not be going well.  

'''Twitch Streams:''' Ox has been the subject of scrutiny for his handling of the Daniel Larson Twitch live streams, in which numerous incidents occurred such as Daniel's phone number being leaked to hundreds on air. Ox also seems to have heavily monetized the Twitch page itself by providing multiple donation links and a fully-fledged merch store all based on Daniel's image, but Ox states that all of the profits earned through these means go to assist Daniel and not himself. A large array of screenshots were provided in Daniel’s official twitch discord to prove these claims. This is a large point of contention in the community however as the merch website features Daniel only by name and does not depict any images of him in either the modeling photos or on the merch itself, as well as the DaniellarsonTv twitch streams being mostly comprised of facecam video of Oxis himself.

'''r/daniellarson Subreddit Raid:''' In late July of 2022, Ox amassed his Twitch and Tiktok audience to instigate a mass flagging campaign against the r/daniellarson subreddit, claiming that the usage of NSFW content of Daniel was the reasoning behind the attack. While proving to be unsuccessful in banning the sub, it caused many in the sub to immediately dislike him and cause a fury storm of posts expressing their disdain for him.

'''Doxxing:''' There are numerous instances of Ox threatening to dox people who he deems to be harassing and abusing mentally disabled creators online. Ox claims to have already amassed a lot of information. One of Ox's prime targets is a user by the name of murk, the suspected troll behind Dave Vanderwaal. [[Grace VanderWaal|VanderWaal]].

As with a lot of fans who try and help Daniel. Daniel ends up having a hard time seeing any good that may have helped him. On July 30rd 2022 Daniel uploaded a video saying that ox was a bitch, Ox then stitched the video from the same account responding to the attack referencing a famous Daniel video about [[Quandale Dingle]]

On August 2nd, 2022 Ox made a donation goal to prank Daniel with a fake [[Nuclear Attack]] video. Causing more tension between the two.
