== Manipulation ==
'''Josh Wells''', also known as '''Flexburger''', was one of the original, and most influential, [[management|managers]] of Daniel Larson.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/139sc49/comment/jj3nmf3/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3</ref> In the beginning of his management, Flexburger heavily manipulated Daniel, leading to the [[May 6th]] incident.
Flexburger and potentially other [[Management|managers]] manipulated Daniel into doing extremely degrading acts, such as the [[May 6th]] incident, over the course of a couple of months. He also manipulated Daniel into doing things like furthering his [[Presidential Campaign|presidential campaign]].


He also leaked Daniel's creepy [[Daniel's pinterest account|Pinterest account]] and catfished him while pretending to be a minor.
== Prologue ==
{{Stub}}
Flexburger became aware of Daniel in 2020. His first known mention of Daniel was on Halloween of 2020, when he posted an edit of Daniel to his TikTok account during the time Daniel first began gaining notoriety on TikTok.<ref>https://www.tiktok.com/@flexburgerrrr/video/6889841276955495686</ref> It is most likely that he was the first one to gain knowledge of his [[Pedophilia|pedophilic tendencies]], as on November 5th, 2020, he would document inappropriate [[Social Media Accounts#X (Twitter)|tweets]] Daniel had made about a [[Breanna|young girl he lived with]].<ref>https://www.tiktok.com/@flexburgerrrr/video/6891836517187128582</ref> Like many other fans of Daniel, he would post edits of him, wish him a happy birthday, and making videos encouraging his [[Presidential Campaign|run for presidency]].  


=== Possible manipulation of the Daniel Larson community ===
== Personas ==
Flexburger has been accused of not only manipulating Daniel Larson, but the community as well.
{{Stub}}


Flexburger leaked a [[Daniel's pinterest account|Pinterest account]] of Daniel's, which was, to put it lightly, extremely creepy. It had collections, likes, and pins of little girls (especially [[Grace VanderWaal]]), age of consent maps, and other creepy videos.
=== Partyhouse Records/Interscope Records ===


This leak is controversial, however, as Flexburger, for a short period of time, was in control of Daniel's leaked Pinterest, as well as his [[Social Media Accounts|other accounts]]. Many speculate that Flexburger was the one to like and pin the videos to label Daniel as a [[Pedophilia|pedophile]].
=== Josh ===


But these accusations of manipulation are sketchy at best. Flexburger only had the Pinterest account for a very short period, so short that it seems unlikely that Flex could've liked all that content in such a short amount of time. People also say that pins from 2019 debunked the leak, but Daniel could've simply just been recommended and liked old content.
=== [[Larsonleak|LarsonLeak]] ===


Plus, even if the Pinterest account was fake, it does very little to counter the claim that Daniel is a pedophile, as Daniel is known to both have an obsession with [[Grace VanderWaal]], an at the time underage (and still young) girl.
== May 6th ==
{{Stub}}
On [[May 6th|May 6th, 2021]], Daniel would strip naked on a TikTok live stream.


=== War and Doxxing ===
== Post-Management Activities ==
Daniel, in revenge for Flexburger exposing him, [[The Flexburger War|declared war on Flexburger]]. Flexburger was already an enemy of the [[r/Daniellarson]] subreddit, and with this new war surfacing, was doxxed and stopped communicating with Daniel in August of 2021.

On May 6th, 2023, to celebrate the anniversary of the [[May 6th|May 6th Incident]], Flexburger returned and hosted a Reddit AMA under the username "[https://www.reddit.com/user/smokesomuch2 smokesomuch2]".

Josh Wells, also known as Flexburger, was one of the original, and most influential, managers of Daniel Larson.[1] In the beginning of his management, Flexburger heavily manipulated Daniel, leading to the May 6th incident.

Prologue

Flexburger became aware of Daniel in 2020. His first known mention of Daniel was on Halloween of 2020, when he posted an edit of Daniel to his TikTok account during the time Daniel first began gaining notoriety on TikTok.[2] It is most likely that he was the first one to gain knowledge of his pedophilic tendencies, as on November 5th, 2020, he would document inappropriate tweets Daniel had made about a young girl he lived with.[3] Like many other fans of Daniel, he would post edits of him, wish him a happy birthday, and making videos encouraging his run for presidency.

Post-Management Activities

Reddit AMA

On May 6, 2023, to celebrate the anniversary of the May 6th Incident, Flexburger returned and hosted a Reddit AMA under the username "smokesomuch2." To kick off this 'celebration,' Flexburger leaked some never-before-seen lore, and also promoted his new X account, @flexburgerr.

Below are some excerpts from the AMA.

How did you manage to get him to do the "May 6th" AFTER he declared war on you? Did you go by another name [in order to conceal your identity]? - Grodbert

I went by the name “Josh” as his manager. I told him that Flexburger was this evil guy hacking all of his accounts [and] exposing him. He had no clue that it was me. When he was making all of those videos with the headset on talking about me, I was on the phone with him. He had no clue that [I was Flexburger] the whole time, pretty funny stuff.

based [sic] on your communications with Daniel, do you think he could potentially be LGBTQ+? - mikey2exclusive

100%. I think most people are forgetting that he was thinking about becoming transgender. He posted many videos like this explaining.

That whole era where he was interested in becoming transgender got shut down after he called his dad, Travis. Travis said he was not supportive and would never talk to Daniel again if he transitioned.

He’d also seem interested in some guys that were celebrities and said he’d be interested in having sex with them. At least when I was his manager, he seemed very bi-curious

What’s your opinion on people like ox that overlook [Daniel's] pedo tendencies[?] - Few_Replacement_4860

[I'm not going to comment on] Ox.

As for the people on TikTok that defend him constantly it drives me insane. I’m not sure if a lot of people know this, but this subreddit was actually mostly pro-daniel around up until about a year ago or so.

When I was [Daniel's] manager, I tried telling everyone that Daniel was a horrible person but no one believed me. People like Papa Gut would defend him just because he has a mental disability.

Never seen someone get away with this much. I’m glad the majority of the general public is finally coming to an agreement that Daniel’s [sic] a creep. Took far too long.

Do you think the “Ryan ruhruhruhraped me” was real or he just had gay sex with another retard in services. [sic] What’s your take? - tawnypunani

No, daniels [sic] never had sex or been raped before. I remember the day he made that lie up was the day he made all those holes in the walls in the pink room.

He all of a sudden started lying to me trying to make me feel bad and said he was a victim of “sexual salt”. [sic] I asked more about the story, since he had never told me it before, and things were not lining up at all and you could clearly tell he was lying.

Let’s as a community stop drawing attention to that lie [sic]. Him lying about being sexually assaulted for attention pisses me off so bad [sic]

How often would Daniel text you through out [sic] the day - lanetrain71

24/7, never ending. I [would be sitting in class, and Daniel would just be] spamming me saying there was an “emergency” and if I didn’t answer he would fire me.

The “emergency” was that Big Bank Records called him the N-word [sic] and was “harassing him”. [sic]

Daniel ended up calling 911 and the police showed up. As expected, police [sic] were confused and didn’t give two shits [sic]

[Does Daniel have any unreleased music]? Who produced these songs? How much did it cost? - BigBonesMilk

Not much. He’s a liar when he says “lots of new music coming soon in 2023”. [sic] I don’t actually believe there’s anymore full, completed songs left.
