In July 2019, Nancy passed away from cancer. Daniel was 19. Before her death, she sent Daniel to a state-run group home program for the disabled, where he remained for about two years before alternating between living with other individuals and [[Homeless Arc|living on the streets]]. Daniel's mental health began to deteriorate significantly due to a confluence of challenging circumstances. These circumstances include living on the streets, geographical isolation from family/friends, and limited access to mental healthcare. | In July 2019, Nancy passed away from cancer. Daniel was 19.

In | In late 2019, Daniel would start using social media, creating the account [[Social Media Accounts|@daniellars20]] on [[TikTok]], however this account was hardly used. He then made the @daniellarsonfans account in early 2020, which quickly gained a large following due to Daniel's odd looks and behavior. Daniel's first video to gain attention was called "Good night everyone," in which he stiltedly wished his fans good luck while his phone buzzes in the background. | ||

The Reverse Mohawk arc would end once Daniel's hair grew back out. In early December 2023, there would be severe community backlash towards new management, as there was a noticeable lack of trolling. However, towards the end of the month Daniel would be constantly kicked out of businesses in Colorado. | |||

Strong evidence came about through the content leaks of his [[Quora]] and [[Daniel's pinterest account|Pinterest]] accounts. In any case, Daniel has admitted to being a pedophile multiple times. | ||
=== Obsession with Grace Vanderwaal === | |||
''Main article: [[Grace VanderWaal]]'' | |||
Daniel has an unhealthy obsession with Grace VanderWaal, and consistently references her in his ramblings and meltdowns, partially due to trolls fueling the fire by pretending to be her or her family. This is despite Grace never interacting with Daniel at all, and in fact, has even denounced him via a message with her mother and Daniel. It should be noted that Daniel's obsession with Grace dates back to her appearance as a 12-year-old on America's Got Talent, which would be when Daniel was already 18 years old. | |||
===Rage and Meltdowns=== | ===Rage and Meltdowns=== | ||
''Main article: [[Meltdowns]]'' | ''Main article: [[Meltdowns]]'' | ||
Daniel has repeatedly demonstrated a propensity for volatility and abrupt outbursts of anger. These episodes are often captured on video. His reactions manifest in various forms and come from many triggers. While most of these outbursts are verbal, they occasionally escalate to physical aggression, involving instances where he has struck individuals, including Jonas and Bob Proctor, as | Daniel has repeatedly demonstrated a propensity for volatility and abrupt outbursts of anger. These episodes are often captured on video, being dubbed "[[incidents]]" by the community. His reactions manifest in various forms and come from many triggers. While most of these outbursts are verbal, they occasionally escalate to physical aggression, involving instances where he has struck individuals, including Jonas and Bob Proctor. Daniel also commonly harms himself during these meltdowns, such as repeatedly hitting himself in the face until he begins bleeding.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/wf91p6/daniel_just_broke_the_tv_in_his_hotel_room/</ref><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/x3n78y/hole_in_wall_already/</ref> | ||

The video was supposedly filmed by [[Brink]]. | A rare external video of one of Daniel's meltdowns was uploaded to Reddit on September 30, 2022.

=== | === Elder abuse === | ||
Daniel has been accused of elder abuse, as he has taken advantage of and even assaulted his mentor and friend [[Bob Proctor]]. In [[December 10th Incident|one particular instance]], Daniel had a meltdown in Bob's car. | |||
=== Dine and dash === | |||
Daniel constantly [[wikipedia:Dine_and_dash|dine-and-dashes]] from sit-down restaurants if he is unable (or unwilling) to pay the bill. The amount of times a restaurant has gone after him for doing so are far and few between. | |||
==Trolls, | === Untreated scabies === | ||
''Main article: [[Scabies]]'' | |||
Daniel had untreated scabies while in Los Angeles, while wearing the same clothes, not taking showers, and sleeping in porta-potties at night. What really made this controversial was the fact that he did not seek treatment for the scabies, and would even go to Disneyland with this highly spreadable disease. The symptoms would eventually reach a point to where Daniel was forced to seek medial attention, and the symptoms would die down. | |||
===Rejecting help=== | |||
Although there are people genuinely willing to help improve Daniel's quality of life, he consistently rejects help or takes advantage of it. In many cases, he chooses to spend money from supporters on extravagant hotel rooms, indulgences at Dave and Busters (which he doesn't even eat most of the time) and other non-essentials. As such, Daniel remains homeless and financially unstable. | |||
=== Tormenting caretakers === | |||
''See also: [[Jonas]], [[Miss P]]'' | |||
Daniel, being a mentally disabled adult without family to take care of him, was moved to housing services after his grandmother's death. However, there have been multiple instances of Daniel mistreating his caretakers as well as organizations and individuals who have been assigned to help him, leading him to be banned from these services and left without support. This also includes actions done by trolls/weens such as sending sex toys to Daniel's home. | |||
=== Racism === | |||
Daniel Larson is clearly racist. He constantly uses the [[N-word]] when in anger, even being dubbed "the tactical slur" by the community as he "deploys" it in distressing situations, such as meltdowns. Additionally, Daniel has shown [[Goldberg Shacklestein|antisemitic tendencies]]. | |||
==Trolls, weens, and manipulation== | |||
<blockquote>''Trolling. Trolling never changes.'' ''The end of the troll happened exactly as we predicted;'' ''too many trolls, not enough lolcows or bandwidth.<sup>[Citation Needed]</sup>''</blockquote>Trolling is a constant element of the internet and is likely to affect almost anyone who uses it. In various ways, trolls provoke reactions from their victims or targets. In Daniel Larson's life trolls play a significant role by either directly or indirectly influencing events. Their reasons for interacting with Daniel vary, from positive intentions like those of [[Ox]], to negative ones like [[Flexburger]], or even extremely negative ones like [[Quacko]]. Despite their differing motives, a commonality between trolls is that their actions often harm Daniel. | <blockquote>''Trolling. Trolling never changes.''

Daniel's phone number is easily leaked; in fact, he has inadvertently revealed it himself multiple times.

With no straightforward method to change it, he frequently receives calls from trolls, a situation evident during his live streams—and previously in many of his TikTok videos—where his ringtone and vibrations frequently interrupt the audio. | Daniel's phone number is easily leaked; in fact, he has inadvertently revealed it himself multiple times.
