Kind of a trend, the amount of youtubers who i had loved but their content became generic after gaining popularity is quite a bit, most drastic one being mrwhosetheboss, his uniqueness went down faster than ~~MH27~~ MH17

Andrew Callaghan sad to say because I was a huge fan and I guess there's been actual rape allegations come out although he hasn't been charged with anything so who knows. That style of journalism I just love so much and he is so good at it so it's a shame.

He went from looking like he was going to have his own HBO series, to almost completely disappearing, also the allegations were by underage girls and he acknowledged the allegations as true from what I remember.

From what I understand he was a freshman or close to it as well. Wouldn't surprise me though.

In case you're wondering, it's called "Gonzo Journalism". He's following in the footsteps of Hunter S Thompson.

Yeah, this one hits home. Recently he tried to put out a few videos, haven't watched them, kind of waiting for someone else to dissect it for me because yeah...

I watched them and they were alright. It's disturbing how serious the allegations are yet no legal actions are being taken against him. It's like he's in this place of irredeemable limbo. I've volunteered with inmates and believe people can be redeemed but not if they can't face their wrongdoings.

2 women said he tried to have sex with them and made them uncomfortable. There are allegations of sexual assault, however I'm withholding judgment. Dude seems to drink a lot.
