#Dreamisafreak has been trending on Twitter after a user named Anastasia alleged Minecraft star Clay "Dream" tried to groom her via various social media platforms when she was a minor. Grooming describes an adult trying to coax a minor into establishing a s*xual relationship, usually via online texts.
Anastasia released several screenshots which allegedly showed Dream on Snapchat and Twitter attempting to make s*xual advances on the then 17-year-old girl. For context, the Minecraft YouTuber was 20 at the time and would be considered to be of legal age.
