YouTuber Carson King, also known as CallMeCarson, has been accused of grooming and inappropriately texting with fans, as King's former Lunch Club collaborators claim that King told them that he had been messaging with underaged girls.
Twitter user @miniborb has alleged that King, who is now 21-years-old, groomed her when she was 17 and he was 19. The Twitter user, named Sam, posted screenshots and videos that appear to show messages between herself and King that include messages of a sexual nature.
Sam said that the messages began when she jokingly tweeted "be my boyfriend" at King, who she says then messaged her privately.
The combination of thread title and op username is very dangerous
But in all seriousness, Carson always seemed like a weirdo.
Dont want to make it sound like im defending him cause im not, f*** that dude for being a creep and possibly ruining an innocent woman's life, but how is that considered pedophilia lol. A 19 year old and a 17 year old hanging out (on normal occasions, not like this one!) is something you see quite frequently
Boiling it down to "he was 19 and she was 17" is way too simple and I think if you're doing that you're being willfully ignorant tbh. I don't really see anything wrong with an everyday, "normal" 19 yr old talking to a 17 yr old, but Carson is not that.
Carson and his friends have millions of subs and a cult like fan base. There's a huge gap in power, money, influence, etc between Carson and a normal 17 yr old. The fact that he bragged to his friends about talking to minors tells you that he knew it was wrong and he didn't care.
Is he a pedo? No. But it's clear that he has no problem abusing his power and influence and probably shouldn't have a platform that allows him to do that.
I mean... the guy looks like he probably has some skeletons in his closet, but this ain’t it

Nah, unless you’re on some Harvey Weinstein s***, using your position as a bargaining chip, and like threatening someone ain’t nothing wrong with using your fame to get hoes.
Rockstar lifestyle might don’t make it

Yeah this is what im saying. He aint a pedo but hes still a trash human being

it’s only right to date someone if they don’t find you desirable whatsoever

he told his friends and in the convo w/ the girl was discussing his mixed feelings on the matter, to call it "bragging" is ur own spin on the story. if it turns out he was telling his friends in a bragging way while showing that kind of conflictedness with the girl, then yeah it's reasonable that he may have been faking his internal conflict w/ the girl and thus manipulating her, but none of that has been demonstrated so far
also all that power dynamics stuff is overblown. groupie s*** happens all the time and no amount of complaining is gonna stop people with cultural significance from using it or stop people from being attracted to those with cultural significance
he wasn't leveraging it over her head from what the convos show. it was hardly acknowledged by either of them at all, so to invoke it is to just look for a reason to say "but it's clear that he has no problem abusing his power and influence and probably shouldn't have a platform that allows him to do that."
He look all types of trashy but idk I had some senior friends that were 19 and dated 17 yr old seniors
lmao at this clickbait s***
Nothing wrong with a 19 year old and a 17 year old. Literally nothing wrong at all.
twitter couldn’t find anybody else to cancel today ig

Yeah he’s a piece of s*** and I’m not defending his grooming and getting underaged nudes but i can’t call him a pedophile like some other folk are from a two age gap
