Guys, we’ve gotta fix this.

Onision, a prominent Youtuber, has been put back on the guest speakers list for Vidcon. Those who follow my tumblr will know that I am most emphatically not a fan of him. He’s done several unbelievably awful things that make him irrevocably unacceptable as a Vidcon guest. Among these things are:

Driving to other states to have sex with an underage girl “legally”
Started smear campaign against his ex-wife, who in no way provoked it
Started a smear campaign against his ex-girlfriend, who has completely moved on
Encouraged his subscribers to harass both of these woman, which has resulted in one getting told she deserved to be raped
Devoted several videos to detailed sexual subjects, claiming it wasn’t his responsibility to protect or cater to his younger viewers
Claimed that a person who has had 20 or more sexual partners was incapable of being raped, then denied he said this.

Now, I’m not passionately involved with these goings-on, but I was thrilled when I heard he wasn’t going to be at Vidcon, because he is the antithesis of everything the Vlogbrothers stand for. He’s back on the list, though, for some reason, and gloating about it. Hank, John, Nerdfighteria, and everybody else who cares, please, don’t let this glib sociopath into one of the greatest annual events in the USA.
