Trolls

There are largely two types of trolls in the Daniel Larson community. Successful trolls, and Weens (a term borrowed from the CWC community),

Successful Trolls

Successful trolls of Daniel tend to take a more long-term approach. The build-up to a successful trolling of Dan often takes weeks, if not months, of preparation. The below are examples of trolls who have successfully manipulated Dan long term.

Res2b

Res2b Is a renowned troll, who was known to send fake "pipe bombs" to Daniel Larson's mail. This subsequently followed, of which where Daniel filed a restraining order on Res2b, where the two have since yet to communicate in person. However, due to a recent 1v1 wager on the popular game "Rainbow Six Siege", Daniel Larson was forced to de-abolish the restraining order, meaning that Res2b could now send fake pipe bombs again. Shortly after this altercation, the now popularly known pencil incident was brought to light due to Res2b's shenanigans.

Aiden2b

Aiden2b is a companion of the previously mentioned, Res2b, and is allegedly a 40 year old male who's identity is unknown. He has been known to harass Daniel Larson, by DM'ing him on his now deleted social media, where he would "rage bait" Daniel Larson for hours on end. Aiden2b is also allegedly tied to Flexburger, and was recently found to be a key part to his Doxxing during August of 2021 after he was denounced as an enemy on r/Daniellarson.

Murk

Murk is a teenage troll and potential friend of Textkill who trolled and manipulated Daniel by impersonating people like Grace VanderWaal, and is allegedly the holder for the pencil incident video. He gave up trolling around the same time as Jix.

Jix

Jix, also known as Jasper, is an underage former troll of Daniel who was doxxed after fighting for control over Daniel. Jasper created the second DLR Discord, which was a discord dedicated to trolling Daniel. The discord went heads-up after mounting criticism for being intensely toxic and excessive, and he eventually quit trolling.

Flexburger

In March of 2021, Flexburger began his operation posing as a manager for Daniel under the name of "Zift". Flexburger was able to convince and persuade Daniel to comply with many crazy requests, such as the May 6th incident. Through working with Daniel, however, Flexburger discovered Daniel’s attraction to underage girls via his Pinterest account. Flexburger began to catfish Daniel, posting as an underage minor, and soon leaked this account.

Flexburger was doxxed in August of 2021 after he was denounced as an enemy by Daniel on the subreddit, r/Daniellarson, and soon ceased communication with Daniel.

While Flexburger has not communicated with Daniel ever since quitting his manager role, he is still a prominent figure in the Daniel Larson history, such as operating Larsonleak.

Ox

Ox (also known as Oxis or Ivan) is a troll and former manager of Daniel who managed to get the ire of the entire Daniel Larson community for the nuclear attack prank, raiding r/Daniellarson, doxxing children, exploiting Daniel for money, and attempting to monopolize Daniel.

IWishIHadADad

Main Article: IWishIHadADad

IWishIHadADad was known for operating a discord server, “Daniel Larson QnA”, which would be where Daniel would participate in a Q&A. The discord server was advertised on r/Daniellarson and other Daniel Larson related servers. IWishIHadADad’s server would be taken down on April 3rd.

On April 2nd, IWishIHadADad would be doxxed and subsequently revealed to be a convicted felon, having being charged with “Corporal Injury To Child”. According to him, the mother of the child was sexually and physically abusive, and he had only been thrown under the bus— a claim that was disputed with a Facebook post from said mother.

Clark

Main article: Clark

Clark was one of Daniel’s managers and will most likely be the last manager he ever has, considering Daniel is looking at a possible 65 years in federal prison. Clark was a financial enabler of Daniel, giving him money and gift cards, as well as fueling his delusions with Grace VanderWaal among other things. He was doxxed on December 17th, 2023, by Flexburger, yet remained as his manager. When Daniel had been arrested on April 30th, 2024, Clark dropped the façade and revealed to Daniel that everything had been faked— everything from the VanderWaal family to his own identity.

Clark has been deemed one of the most, if not the most, controversial manager Daniel has ever had.

TwentyTwoDope

TikTok user and Phi Kappa Tau member TwentyTwoDope (also known as Nathan) is a troll who may or may not be responsible for convincing Daniel that he was enrolled at CU Boulder, and certainly responsible for keeping Daniel on campus. On September 12th, 2023, videos were first posted to both Nathan and Daniel's TikTok accounts, as well as Daniel's YouTube channel, showing some of their activities.

Weens

Weening or failtrolling is the act of attempting to troll someone, but ultimately failing at it the whole way through, and not receiving any significant results, typically due to inexperience or just plain stupidity. Many Weens have popped up in Daniel's online experience, to the effect of doing almost nothing. Weens tend to act more on impulse. While a ween might be able to get Daniel to do something, or troll him, for a moment - they're ultimately short lived, misguided, and often very unfunny.

Dan is manipulated by "Grace Vanderwaal" who later goes on to be one of the important members of the "DLR" discord (Chuck).

The subreddit's reaction to the two buying Daniel a ticket to Disney was overwhelmingly negative. Accusations were levied of enabling Daniel's pedophilia through access to a large child population, as well as generally excusing Daniel's well-known pedophilloic tendencies and endangering the public health; at this time, Daniel was still an active carrier of scabies. The Reddit community quickly turned against the DLR Discord. The next day, multiple admins of the Discord - specifically, "President Zelensky" (seen in above picture) were doxed. Reports indicate that the leaders of the Discord were unprepared for mass-doxxing and immediately began to panic. "Threats of mother calling are flung" [unknown what this statement references] and by 4:00 PM CST, the DLR discord was gone, a victim to the cycle of trolling and doxing in the DLR community.

USSR

Extremely little is known about USSR, as they were doxxed less than 48 hours after appearing. They were a friend of Jix.

Combotter

Combotter was an underage troll of Daniel Larson and was one of Daniel's earliest trolls between 2020-2021. Many of his acts included making Daniel commit suicide as well as making him get naked and record himself. He was considered to be a de-facto manager, and had tried to maintain his presence within the community through the creation of alternative accounts under new aliases. During his time as a troll, he had attempted to expose Daniel for his Pedophilia through numerous reddit posts. Since then, he has been doxxed and ceased all his activity on the internet, including deletion of numerous accounts.
