Josh, more commonly known by his alias Flexburger,<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/ojlkti/who_is_josh_i_know_hes_daniels_manager_but_is/</ref> was Daniel Larson's first [[Management|manager]]. Flexburger heavily manipulated Daniel, and was the cause of the [[May 6th]] incident. According to Flexburger, he was Daniel's manager from March 2021 until August 2021 when he was cut off. Following this, Daniel made several videos about him.

== Manipulation ==
'''Josh Wells''', also known as '''Flexburger''', was one of the original, and most influential, [[management|managers]] of Daniel Larson.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/139sc49/comment/jj3nmf3/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3</ref> In the beginning of his management, Flexburger heavily manipulated Daniel, leading to the [[May 6th]] incident.
Flexburger, along with several other [[Management|managers]], manipulated Daniel into doing extremely degrading acts, such as the [[May 6th]] incident, over the course of a couple of months. Flexburger manipulated Daniel into doing things such as promoting his [[Presidential Campaign|presidential campaign]], despite Daniel not being old enough to be president.


He also leaked Daniel's disturbing [[Daniel's pinterest account|Pinterest account]] and catfished him while pretending to be a minor.
== Prologue ==
{{Stub}}
Flexburger became aware of Daniel in 2020. His first known mention of Daniel was on Halloween of 2020, when he posted an edit of Daniel to his TikTok account during the time Daniel first began gaining notoriety on TikTok.<ref>https://www.tiktok.com/@flexburgerrrr/video/6889841276955495686</ref> It is most likely that he was the first one to gain knowledge of his [[Pedophilia|pedophilic tendencies]], as on November 5th, 2020, he would document inappropriate [[Social Media Accounts#X (Twitter)|tweets]] Daniel had made about a [[Breanna|young girl he lived with]].<ref>https://www.tiktok.com/@flexburgerrrr/video/6891836517187128582</ref> Like many other fans of Daniel, he would post edits of him, wish him a happy birthday, and making videos encouraging his [[Presidential Campaign|run for presidency]].  


=== Possible Manipulation of the Daniel Larson Community ===
== Personas ==
Flexburger has been accused of not only manipulating Daniel Larson, but the community as well.
{{Stub}}


Flexburger leaked a [[Daniel's pinterest account|Pinterest account]] of Daniel's, which was, to put it lightly, extremely disturbing. It had collections, likes, and pins of little girls (especially [[Grace VanderWaal]]), age of consent maps, and other disturbing videos.
=== Partyhouse Records/Interscope Records ===


The leak was controversial however, as Flexburger, for a short period of time, was in control of Daniel's leaked Pinterest, as well as his [[Social Media Accounts|other accounts]]. Many speculate that Flexburger was the one to like and pin the videos to frame Daniel as a [[Pedophilia|pedophile]].
=== Josh ===


These accusations of manipulation are questionable at best. Flexburger only had the Pinterest account for a brief time. This brevity makes it unlikely that Flexburger could have liked all of the controversial content in such a short amount of time. Some say that pins from 2019 debunked the leak, but Daniel could have simply just been recommended older content.
=== [[Larsonleak|LarsonLeak]] ===


Also, even if the Pinterest account was fake, it does very little to counter the claim that Daniel is a pedophile, as Daniel's obsession with [[Grace VanderWaal]] proves that he at least shows some of the characteristics.
== May 6th ==
{{Stub}}
On [[May 6th|May 6th, 2021]], Daniel would strip naked on a TikTok live stream.


=== War and Doxxing ===
== Post-Management Activities ==
Daniel, as revenge for Flexburger exposing him, [[The Flexburger War|declared war on him]]. Flexburger was already an enemy of the [[r/Daniellarson]] subreddit, and following this declaration, was doxxed and stopped communicating with Daniel in August of 2021.


=== Known post-war encounters ===
=== Reddit AMA ===
In late September 2023 during the college arc, Daniel and a friend appeared to encounter Flexburger near the campus. Daniel begins filming saying "So this is Flexburger..." causing Flex to turn around and flip Daniel the bird, saying "fuck you daniel! Fuck you".
On May 6, 2023, to celebrate the anniversary of the [[May 6th|May 6th Incident]], Flexburger returned and hosted a Reddit AMA under the username "[https://www.reddit.com/user/smokesomuch2 smokesomuch2."] To kick off this 'celebration,' Flexburger leaked some [[May 2023 Flexburger Leaks|never-before-seen lore]], and also promoted his new X account, [[@flexburgerr]].

I’m not sure exactly how much they paid, but I know it was a lot and way too fucking much [''sic'']. Thousands of dollars are not worth it for a couple songs like that 😭 [''sic'']</blockquote><references />
