RIP the internet, Fam. Date of death: Sometime in January 2020 when William White joined up! It started out innocent enough: some cute guy making lip-sync videos to 80s songs that made the ladies of a certain age swoon. But because we can't have anything nice, it all quickly went to hell. Fan groups formed, the bullying started, and the doxing, of course. And thennnnnnn William made a bunch of questionable choices. And we're gonna scream about it all. Join us, won't you?
