Dream gained attention through his Minecraft videos and has an enormous following, with over 31 million subscribers just on YouTube. About a year ago, dream uploaded his much-awaited face reveal titled ‘Hi, I’m Dream’. Furthermore, the video amassed over 60 million views on YouTube.
On December 20, 2023, Dream uploaded a video on his YouTube channel. The footage mainly featured him addressing all the allegations against him. He started the video with light topics, like his childhood face leak picture and the Minecraft speedrun cheating scandal. Furthermore, he also got into his ‘cringe thirst trap’ videos and why people perceive him as a creep or a weirdo.
The dream also explains why he responds to his fans. He mentioned that he started responding to his fans when he was tiny, and the response kept getting less and less after his channel’s growth. Furthermore, he also claimed that he has had his fans turn into his friends, and it’s just the stans who take things too far.
Dream denies all the allegations about him talking to minors
In his hour-and-a-half video, Dream went into depth about all of his allegations. He claimed that people make up lies about him because they ‘obsessively hate’ him. He blames all the parasocial aspects of his online empire. Furthermore, he adds that all the people now hating on him once loved him and were his fans. He also somewhat blames himself for all of the things that happened to him.
“I think it’s incredibly unhealthy to be obsessive with someone and I also think that it’s clear to anyone that’s stepping back and looking at these situations – that people obsessively hate me and are making up lies about me. Which is, also, because of parasocialness. Parasocial love turned to parasocial hate. And, I have no doubt that the anonymous people making these fake allegations were once big fans of mine.”

After blaming himself for the situation he’s in right now, he also adds that the ‘stan’ culture is not healthy, and he shouldn’t have been a part of promoting it. He explains that he only recognized people’s j healthy obsession with him after his face was revealed. Furthermore, Dream also added that he was being doxxed heavily by people calling his 80-year-old grandmother pretending to be him.
“First of all, I just want to recognize that I’m probably in this position because of myself. The people that made these claims, undoubtedly, had unhealthy parasocial relationships with me and that’s why it has gotten to this point. I want to and will do anything I can to denounce this. My view on fans has shifted slowly, over time, jumping massively when I face revealed and actually got to meet fans in person – which made things much more real, and massively changed my perspective.”

Apart from this, Dream also addressed his viral ‘moaning’ moment. In the clip, it was alleged that Dream was s*xting and sending moaning videos to minors. He explains that this only went viral with no questions asked because people were having fun hating him. Furthermore, he clarifies that all the allegations were untrue and that the girl they were referring to as the grooming victim was his friend before his fame.
Dream concludes the video by blaming himself, explaining that it’s hard to realize how serious things get with the parasociality of online fame. He explained that he doesn’t view stans the same way he did before. Furthermore, he had a message for his minor fans and asked them not to engage in any s*xual content as it was ‘gross and unsafe’.
