David Dobrik continues to find himself ensnared in the fiery aftermath of Seth Francois's sexual assault allegations, with a former fan recently calling for his mass boycott.
The YouTuber has been under fire ever since former Vlog Squad member Seth Francois alleged sexual assault at Dobrik and Jason Nash's hands.
The deafening silence and lack of a concrete response on the part of David Dobrik and The Vlog Squad has only worsened the situation, with public sentiment increasingly teetering towards the edge of cancelation.
The raging scandal was recently explored in detail by a former fan, Yvonne Tang, in a powerful opinion piece which she wrote for Boston University's student newspaper, The Daily Free Press:
In a brutally honest and thought-provoking article, Tang proceeded to recount her own illusionary experience of being an ardent David Dobrik fan once upon a time.
From highlighting his string of questionable actions to slamming his lack of accountability, she proceeded to take a strong stand against the popularity and duplicitous charm of the 24-year old:
"As long as Dobrik refuses to hold himself accountable for his harmful actions, not only to his friends but also to his fanbase, we should not be engaging with any of his content, including his merchandise, phone apps, videos, podcasts, and other business ventures."
She added:
"There needs to be consequences for his actions, and he won't feel those consequences unless he has stopped profiting off his abusive behavior. It's time to make it clear to Dobrik that his popularity does not justify emotional, physical, or sexual abuse."
Yvonne Tang's rousing opinion piece led to quite a few reactions online, as a section of Twitter users seemed to agree with her idea of boycotting David Dobrik and The Vlog Squad.
David Dobrik is on the verge of being canceled online as sexual assault scandal rages on
Before Seth Francois's incendiary allegations, it was former Vlog Squad member Nick "BigNik" Keswani who first accused David Dobrik and The Vlog Squad of several misdemeanors.
From making him feel worthless to exhibiting "demonic, cult vibes," BigNik's revelations served as the initial spark which triggered the anti-David Dobrik crusade online.
BigNik and Seth Francois's statements eventually led to a former producer of The Vlog Squad coming forward to share his own story of harassment at the hands of David Dobrik and The Vlog Squad.
Scotty Sire's recent defense of Dobrik further exacerbated things, with dissent continuing to reach flammable proportions.
Yvonne Tang's recent plea seems to have found quite a few takers online, as Twitter users began to issue a clarion call for David Dobrik's cancelation:
As dissent continues to mount online, it appears that the air of illusion surrounding David Dobrik's perceived "nice guy persona" gradually seems to be crumbling under the weight of a sexual assault scandal that refuses to simmer down.
