'''Joshua Block''' (born August 7, 2001), | '''Joshua Block''' (born August 7, 2001), known online as '''World of T-Shirts''', is a TikTok star who gained popularity in 2020 for his eccentric personality caused by his autism. This would lead to more funny videos/live streams in New York in 2021, and more recently, rampant alcoholism while terrorizing the streets of New York City and refusing to get help. Throughout his TikTok career, Joshua has had several online interactions with Daniel Larson. Joshua’s manager, [[Michael Quinn]], is another notable figure in the [[Glossary#Larsonverse|Larsonverse]]. | ||
After Daniel met up with Joshua and Quinn in May 2023, Joshua mostly fell out of relevancy in the Larsonverse, though he still maintains his own following and is considered a [[lolcow]]. | |||
==Daniel | == Personal life == | ||
In May 2021, Daniel posted a [https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/nj73dy/daniel_shouts_out_joshua_block_aka_worldoftshirts/ TikTok] in which he responded to a viral video of World of T-Shirts screaming the lyrics to "Empire State of Mind" by Jay-Z. In his post, Daniel says, "This message is to World of T-Shirts. In New York."[[File:Joshua.jpeg|thumb| | Joshua was born on August 7, 2001. His high-functioning autism is clearly shown through his hyperfixations (such as the New York subway system,) speech patterns and lack of social awareness / empathy.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/160bcgz/comment/jxlmls6/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button</ref> In June 2015, Joshua's mother passed away from cancer. Josh has said that his father is a drug addict (ironically). After his mother's death, Joshua's older brother with [[Daniel Larson's health#Schizophrenia/Schizoaffective|schizophrenia]] was sent to a group home, and Josh would live with his grandfather in Long Island.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/145lxgo/comment/joe35ix/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button</ref> | ||
==Daniel Larson Records collaboration== | |||
In May 2021, Joshua [https://www.tiktok.com/@daniellarsonrecords/video/6959726072116071686 announced] that he would sign a record deal with "Daniel Larson Records" and collaborating with him to make a new song, however Joshua [https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/n7gchb/breaking_news_joshua_aka_worldoftshirts_has/ canceled the deal] shortly after he discovered Daniel's past. Joshua warned viewers to avoid Daniel at all costs and that he needed to be canceled. It is unknown how Joshua was made aware of Daniel Larson, however it is likely that trolls reached out to him and claimed to be part of "Daniel Larson Records." | |||
==Daniel shouts out World of T-Shirts== | |||
In May 2021, Daniel posted a [https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/nj73dy/daniel_shouts_out_joshua_block_aka_worldoftshirts/ TikTok] in which he responded to a viral video of World of T-Shirts screaming the lyrics to "Empire State of Mind" by Jay-Z. In his post, Daniel says, "This message is to World of T-Shirts. In New York."[[File:Joshua.jpeg|thumb|A very old picture of Joshua, likely taken in 2019 or earlier.]]On January 3, 2023 Daniel posted another video in which he says, "This message goes out to Joshua, World of T-shirts. You need to go back to selling t-shirts because you are not ready for this industry." | |||
On April 27, 2023, Daniel posted another TikTok ominously requesting that his fans, "...stop talking about Josh from past management,"<ref>[https://archive.org/details/joshisbanned]</ref> due to the fact that, "...he is banned," with no further clarification. | On April 27, 2023, Daniel posted another TikTok ominously requesting that his fans, "...stop talking about Josh from past management,"<ref>[https://archive.org/details/joshisbanned]</ref> due to the fact that, "...he is banned," with no further clarification. | ||

== Controversies == | |||
Being a lolcow, and due to the way he acts, Joshua has had his own controversies on social media throughout the years. Joshua is similar to Daniel in which he has some white knights / [[enablers]] who try to defend his actions, using his autism as an excuse for everything. However Joshua has also been shown to exhibit this behavior as well.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/13k762l/fish_incident/</ref> | |||
=== Fish Incident === | |||
In June 2021, Joshua would be given a live fish by a fan (who was fishing,) only to proceed to repeatedly throw it on the floor and stomp on it while laughing.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/NoahGetTheBoat/comments/nty1mt/guy_gleefully_stomps_on_a_live_fish_until_it_dies/</ref> Joshua claimed the fish was dead but this was clearly false as the fan was shown to be fishing. This psychotic incident caused Joshua to lose tens or hundreds of thousands of followers. | |||
=== Meltdowns === | |||
Like Daniel, Joshua is prone to autistic meltdowns. These became significantly more common after his alcoholism would begin. Joshua has been spotted having drunk, autistic meltdowns in the streets of New York City (or other cities he's traveled to such as Chicago, or Reykjavik) usually about his hat being stolen or being "poor". | |||
=== Racism === | |||
''Unlike'' Daniel, Joshua has not used the [[N-word|tactical slur]] (or at least, there is no surviving footage of it)<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/134ak20/joshua_is_racist/</ref>. He does, however, exhibit racist tendencies, or pure ignorance about the topics, such as when he "unknowingly" said "porch monkey" and "knee grow" on a Cameo. Not to mention that he does not have a good track record of saying other slurs.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/17c25xx/is_he_gonna_blame_this_on_his_autism_too/</ref><references /> | |||
