How the CULTS of Personality around JonTron, Scott Cawthon and David Dobrik Prevent Accountability
1,322YouTubers and online creators are no strangers to drama. David Dobrik and Five Nights at Freddy's Creator Scott Cawthon have recently been involved in high profile controversy. Scott had maxed out his donations to some of the worst hard-right GOP politicians including Mitch McConnell and Donald Trump while David has been accused of treating mutliple employees badly. JonTron had his own controversy back in 2017, where he outlined his extremely reactionary right-wing politics.
David Dobrik has just made his comeback - his audience has forgiven him. JonTron has been back for years with an audience who do not care about his political views, while Scott has recently retired but still has the overwhelming love of his community. What links Scott and JonTron is that while they acknowledged the controversy, they only offered tepid non-apologies for what they had done. Dobrik squeaked out a first attempt at an apology on his second channel, before bawling his eyes out on his main channel grovelling for forgiveness on his main channel days later after more allegations came out against him.
In the video we break down how the relationship between online creator and audience has created multiple cults of personality which allow these creators to all get off the hook for their various controveries.
