Projared, a game review channel on youtube was falsely accused of being a child predator by a bunch of kids who coordinated to destroy him on discord. Those kids provided fabricated "evidence" and managed to destroy Projared's growth, get their channel booted of their network, and destroyed their business relationships with their sponsors and other partners. All this because of the mentality that multiple parties can't lie. The poor host was branded a pedophile by everyone and looked like he aged 10 years in a couple of months.

Projared was fortunate enough to posses the mental fortitude and evidence needed to clear his name. Others in a similar position might not be as lucky.




Every example provided so far has been kids/teenagers who were part of a group (high school, discord, etc..)

These are grown intelligent women with no connection.

I'm not saying it's impossible they are lying, just improbable.


Adults are obviously better at lying than kids are, due to having more experience.
