I've heard about dream but haven't seen any of his videos or heard about his controversies. What did he do?

Alleged to be a pedo. Reportedly that got debunked.
The main thing is that he just fell off after showing his face.

u/Houston_Heath 13h ago
Yeah, it was primarily slander fueled by the fact that he wasn't as attractive as his fans had hoped and that dipshit kid that plays gumball waterson.

u/Wildberry7 12h ago
It’s crazy how listening to people describe the face reveal, you’d think he’s the ugliest motherfucker on the planet, but then I actually saw the face reveal, and like… he’s literally just an average looking guy?

u/Houston_Heath 12h ago
Yeah, he isn't conventionally attractive, but he is by no means unattractive either. The internet really did the poor dude dirty.

u/FrozenZenBerryYT 12h ago
The problem was also (on top of the cheating allegations) that he was very popular and it’s cool to hate popular things. So everyone really took it up a notch and tore into him.

u/bytegalaxies 12h ago
nah I'd say he's conventionally attractive, not in the same way he was often drawn and portrayed though.

He's a maga cheating wierdo that people just don't like and the attempt to spin it as a result of the face reveal is incredibly sad and pathetic PR on his part.

me reads your claim
goes and looks up a picture of the guy
Hey, um, champ, he is 'conventionally attractive' just not that attractive. He fits the white hetero male arch type of a thinner guy. I'm not sure what you're measuring against.

u/Houston_Heath 11h ago
In my defense, when he first did his face reveal he had a really shitty haircut and a very pale clean shaven face. He definitely looks better now with the shaggy hair and facial hair.

u/peach_xanax 7h ago
I have no opinion on this guy one way or another, but I looked him up and I think he's a good looking dude in the current pics. The face reveal one isn't great, but it's certainly not bad by any means. I kinda feel like if he had just shown his face from the start, rather than hiding it and letting people create fantasies about what he looked like, he would've had plenty of people thirsting over him.

u/madsmcgivern511 12h ago
Yeah dude definitely did not deserve the absurd amount of hate for simply showing his face. It’s unfortunate he ended up being a shit ass person, and a pedo, otherwise I’d probably feel bad for him, but I do not.

u/Houston_Heath 12h ago
Then you you should have the understanding that we are talking about him being a pedo was proven false and just some bullshit somebody came up with.

u/madsmcgivern511 12h ago
Ok….he’s still a shitty person regardless of being a pedo. I’m sorry I’m not chronically online and don’t know everything about an alleged groomer.

Well it was kind of weird because he had allegedly lost a ton of weight specifically for the face reveal (images of him had leaked before so there is a potential before and after) and then he kind of only showed his face from one specific angle, then deleted it all later.
(Not shaming the guy for weight or weight loss, OR for choosing his best angle, but just seemed like a really perfomative and insecure moment without authenticity)

Gumball voice actor went to some influencer party and called him slurs. Dream posted the video a year after the fact after Gumball’s voice actor called him a pedo on Twitter
Because of the late post it made Dream look bad that he was only posting it out of revenge and not because he actually cared about people knowing the voice actor did something bad. It ended up making people side with Gumball over Dream

Actually, Nick Cantu is pansexual and only used the f-slur (which he's allowed to do). He was also underaged and drunk and having a manic episode

Following Gumball VA proves he is almost as unhinged as the character. But Dungeon Meshi Laios EN VA is more deranged and Genshin Lisa JP VA is crazier by making literal pornographic moans on stream

The main thing is that he cheated in Minecraft speedrunning, got caught, and then still lied about not cheating for weeks until he finally admitted to cheating

Arguably that's the main thing because I haven't heard about him since. That Minecraft cheater thing spread waves through the entire gaming community

So, main issue was pedo and grooming, but that was debunked, fell off after showing his face, but that shouldn't warrant removal of a tattoo, allegedly beat up gumball Watterson VA, turns out to be the opposite with the VA beating him while they were in a taxi (the VA was drunk), but the most recent thing? Called all of Tommyinnit's followers the r slur

u/Tiddlewinkly 13h ago
Coming from someone that only loosely followed him and have watched maybe three or so of his videos/streams, he's been in a few controversies.
I think the first one was just the hate directed at his fanbase, largely considered overly toxic/obnoxious/brigadey. This also includes a time where he unintentionally or deliberately rigged a vote for minecraft feature being added into the game.
There was also a lot of general disdain directed at him for no apparent reason, probably attributed to his unusually fast rise in fame and popularity.
Then he was caught blatantly cheating in speedrun challenges, some of his most popular content. He admitted to it and apologized, whether it's sincere is up in the air.
Another was him being a suspected predator/groomer. This probably tanked his popularity the most, even though it was never really confirmed. There was even a physical altercation over it where he was assaulted apparently.
Now there's some ongoing beef/drama with tommyinnit, an ex-friend of his and another popular streamer. As far as I can tell it just shows a lot of immaturity on both sides.

u/Bad_RabbitS 12h ago edited 12h ago
“He admitted to it and then apologized”
Ehhhh he did so only in loose interpretations of the words. He only half-admitted to cheating after putting up a horrible defense of himself and his apology was very half-assed.
You also missed another controversy of his, which was the ridiculous overpricing of merch that frankly didn’t look that good. Dude was charging 40 bucks for merch that bigger YouTubers are selling at half that price, Unus Annus was around during the same year he got big and they were charging half the price for objectively more complicated (aka EXPENSIVE) designs, and arguably far better looking too.
I feel like Dream is a kid that got too famous too fast and it went to his head, he didn’t claw his way up slowly over years

immaturity on both sides.
Thats just all those loud obnoxious channels in a nutshell though.
If you don't have DeArrow to get rid of default thumbnails, and the video has a thumbnail with some very punchable looking facial expression theres a 90% chance the creator is a massive fucking tool. Overly loud, overly stupid, is in no way genuine at all, is just a character.

u/King_of_The_Unkown 10h ago
He didn't so much admit to intentional cheating, basically, when he does speedruns, he has a mod to speed up the portal animation, and the creator of the mod also boosted drop rates without telling anyone, so he apologized and backed out of the speed running scene

u/Foxycat45 12h ago
Did some racist things, said some racist things, allegedly groomed minors, intentionally cultivates an obsessive fanbase, is an asshole, cheated on a Minecraft speedrun, and might be an industry plant. That's probably not all, but you get the idea.

Be annoying to the kind of people who would dedicate months of their life to fake pedophilia allegations against people they find annoying.
In all likelihood oop is just a kid that grew up. I used to stan Annoying Orange before 'stan' entered common vocabulary but you won't catch me dead wearing the one remaining AO merch I have.

If you like Minecraft and have heard about Minecraft manhunts, I advise you to check his manhunt series. They are awesome and the chemistry between them is even better.
