The video is a recording of Daniel using one of his many sex toys- a fleshlight. Daniel uses it for over a minute while staring into the camera.
The video was likely filmed somewhat recently as a few weeks before, Daniel had posted photos on his YouTube community tab showing boxes of various fleshlight-type sex toys that he had purchased on a trip to the sex store "Adam and Eve".
Reaction
The reaction from the community was immediate and powerful- disgusted, intrigued, and eager to discuss. Some were even exhausted of seeing the same thing- one commenter remarked "Can we just get more freak out videos? I'm tired of seeing his slong".
Others discussed his hygiene- noting "Thought that was his dick, but nope, that's his crusty ass dildo!"
Some even stated that they had watched the entire thing, or that Daniel doesn't even clean "it".
Within hours, it had even been memed- videos like this quickly originated online.
Origin
The video is speculated to have originated on August 27, 2023, when Daniel claimed to have "done something nice" for Grace VanderWaal but sent it to the "wrong person". A comment suggesting this quickly became one of the most upvoted on the original R/daniellarson post.
