Trolls

There are largely 2 types of trolls in the Daniel Larson community. Successful trolls, and Weens (a term borrowed from the CWC community)

Successful Trolls

Successful trolls of Daniel tend to take a more long-term approach. The build-up to a successful trolling of Dan often takes weeks, if not months, of preparation. The below are examples of trolls who have successfully manipulated Dan long term.

Weens

Weens tend to act more on impulse. While a ween might be able to get Dan to do something, or troll him, for a moment - They're ultimately short lived, misguided, and often very unfunny.

Dan is manipulated by "Grace Vanderwaal" who later goes on to be one of the important members of the "DLR" discord (Chuck).

DLR discord

Created in the aftermath of the original DLR discord ran by Jix a new discord is created. The new DLR discord immediately begin trying to troll Dan having one of their insiders pretend to be Grace and have a nude video supposedly created. This video, if real, ultimately does not become widespread as of the writing of this (1/18/23). Pure conjecture, it's possible that Dan didn't actually create the video at all and was simply trying to manipulate the two trolls into playing along with his strange sexual fantasies.

The DLR discord then spends the next day attempting to get Dan in there. They reach out to him via his old discord (and are ignored as he's deleted discord), email (and are presumably ignored), stream (and are ignored); Ultimately, they never get Dan into the discord and begin claiming that getting Dan in there was never the purpose of it in the first place. They delete their discord stage and then begin a collaborative process of finding Dan's location wherever he goes.

Throughout the entire existence of this discord, the chat is incredibly toxic. People are making fun of the owners of this discord, maligning their attempts to get Dan into there - this is what leads to their pivot to claiming that they never wanted Dan in there. The discord started as a place where you generally couldn't get banned (outside of spreading doxes which was common at this time). However, as the criticism laid on the DLR discord owners they began banning more and more people finishing with a blanket ban of anyone in the Daniel Larson Live (Ox's) discord.

The Dan-tracking lasts for a night or two where they try to call every business he ends up at to let them know the general notes about Dan and attempt to get him kicked out. They're arguably successful at this and cause Dan to become frustrated as he's unable to stay at any one place for an extended period of time (Although, this is fairly common for Dan). The Dan tracking finally ends once Dan starts hanging out at Downtown Disney.

Dan is unable to give the video to the trolls as he claims it's too large. The trolls give him various phone numbers and emails to attempt to get a hold of it. It is unknown if they did.

DLR immediately pivoted - "What if we could troll Dan at Disney?!" they thought. And on 01/17/23, planned on going to Disney Land, buying Dan a ticket, and hanging out with him for a while.

The subreddit's reaction to these two buying Dan a ticket to Disney is overwhelmingly negative. Accusations fly of enabling pedophiles, excusing pedophiles, and in general being nice to pedophiles - The Reddit community quickly turns against this new discord.
