The justice system works pretty slowly, so I wouldn't be surprised.Its probable the police are conducting their own investigation and thats why he hasn't been arrested yet.

Can you use hooktube or mirror the whole thing onto mixtape? Direct embeds (especially now that we have insane google people breathing down nulls neck) for this situation are a bad idea. Or for any lolcow situation, really.

just swap "youtube" with hooktube in a videos URL and put the new url into the post. it can't embed but clicking a link is worth the two seconds of inconvienience.Whoops! Okay I'll try to do...that. I've never had to do that before so I just removed the video from my post.
Editorial: How Can We Protect Young Fans?
by MarvelandPonder
![]()
Two weeks ago, the fandom at large was made aware that a prominent member of the analyst community allegedly engaged in predatory, pedophilic behaviours with young girls. I'm sure you're aware.
In the aftermath of this, we find ourselves trying to deal with our disgust, hurt, fear, disappointment, and anger in any number of ways towards ToonKriticY2K, which is necessary and pertinent.
But one question we all want addressed is how we can better protect the younger fans in and around this community.
As we slowly move on from our initial feelings, I think this is a vital part of constructively dealing with not only any grief and anger in the moment, but preventing these incidents from happening again as much as we can.
I'm going to continue this conversation others have started in the hopes that we'll find some realistic, workable solutions.

I wanted to make a note of this because I think we really need to make a distinction. If you haven't seen Dr. Wolf's statement on ToonKritic, he explains his feelings and says it's better to forgive for our own sake in order to move on.
Which may be helpful for those who felt betrayed by someone they thought was a friend, but not to the victims themselves.
When it comes to sexual abuse, which pedophilia of this nature would classify as easily (even if it was online/not physical), forgiving the abuser isn't a goal of clinical therapy. In fact, having dealt with loved ones who've been abused myself, I know how important it can be to recognize abuse as what it is: something terrible, so the victim knows they're not imagining it, or making a bigger deal of it than necessary.

Suri's terrible, Coco. It's okay to acknowledge that.
For the victims' sake, even as we deal with our own feelings on the matter, I think we should focus on the existence of pedophiles within the fandom as a real problem.
And it is a problem. This silly pony show we've all found something special in is for all ages, and that's always going to mean young fans will be vulnerable to the predators hiding in the masses of well-meaning, harmless older fans.
The next question that reflexively pops up is: Is that an issue for us to handle?
The "The Parents Should Do It" Argument
![]()
In the internet-age (to use a dated term), parents have a lot more to protect their children from than ever before.
So I think the knee-jerk reaction to something like this is to say the parents should've done more, or should somehow police who their kids and teenagers talk to on their internet.
And, look, while I absolutely hold parents accountable, being a 2000s kid myself born and raised on the internet I know it's impossible for parents to protect against everything, especially when their kids become teenagers. I doubt teenagers are going to have parental blocks on their Skype and Discord chats.
Parents do hold a lot of responsibility to protect their kids, but can't do everything, and we're not the younger fans' parents, nor should we try to be.

All the same, in this case, saying we don't have a role in protecting them is also saying we don't care to try. So, what can we do?
Well, I thought about injecting my own opinions here on things like censorship, but at this point, I think I should pass this question onto you. Even if we make the fandom a safer place for kids and kick the pedophiles where it hurts, we can't control for everything, so what do you think we can do about it?
Standing together on the issue of pedophilia is still hugely important, especially when we have victims currently in the fandom who've suffered at the hands of someone famous, perhaps at one time even beloved in the fandom. Not to mention countless others unrelated to the alleged ToonKritic situation (I say "alleged" for legal reasons, not because I don't believe the proof).
If we care, as a fandom, about protecting young fans, we should do something to show we care, which starts at the very least with a conversation.

This is a complex issue, and has been for years, but I have to believe we need to start somewhere. So let's talk about it openly. And, of course, urge everyone to report any behaviour of this nature they know about when it arises.
That way, hopefully we can use this horrible case as motivation to prevent others like it.
All of it the disgusting sewage run off from furry and other sex obsessed fandoms.
Even if there weren't pedos involved, these people can't tolerate ACTUAL children in their fandom and events, because they THEY can't be the 'big fun-loving kid.'
If you're going to tell us your or friends' abuse stories, maybe put away the cartoon horse gif for a bit.
What makes it worse is bronies are a fringe fandom. And they should stay that way. Foalcon, Autism, various avenues of degeneracy plague this fandom. All of it the disgusting sewage run off from furry and other sex obsessed fandoms. Nothing can be done. Children were never welcome. The entire point of being a brony is the idea that it is acceptable for ADULTS to like little girl things. Not Adults and children liking little girl things. Children were NEVER part of the brony equation. On top of that bronies will scream at you for trying to change them. Scream like ape babies if you try to take away their kiddy horse porn. That shows how strongly they care about kids and want to change....0 percent.
Yeah, this fandom can be fucking toxic (which is one of the reasons why I jumped ship about 2 years ago, even though I do still like earlier seasons) and yeah, there were way too many furries coming in with their more disgusting behaviors. But in the end, many of us just wanted to enjoy the show in peace.
Exactly. There's a time where you have to take that stupid 'persona/fursona/OC' mask off and just BE WHO YOU REALLY ARE, especially when it's something serious as this.

Alright. I am making a serious rant right now. so if you don't know. as according to http://www.horse-news.net/2018/01/toonkriticy2k-solicits-sexual-rp-from-minor.html
"ToonKriticY2K, a self-described pedophile (as seen in screenshots in this article), was recently caught apparently grooming a 14 year old girl in a series of erotic role plays. "
This is not a joke right now. Toon has became a PEDOPHILE! And here's why before i resume with this rant: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zrTdiotuS2Y
But like yours truly is a brony. And bronies. But what we do? Love and TOLERATE. Not be a pedo. But no. it's happening right now. I had dealed with those brony drama and i have enough. Enough is enough!
And i am really not happy about that.
I want to stay away from the brony drama and i want to talk about this. Brony drama needs to stop like this one. I love being in a brony fandom and all that drama happened. This is beyond cyberbullying. I am not joking.
But this needs to stop, but i am sorry i need to talk about ToonKriticY2K's pedo incident. I am really sorry. ENOUGH WITH THE BRONY DRAMA!!
