Dan, Phil, if you are lurking, DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT respond. He is totally trying to get a rise (sorry, not sorry) response from you. There is nothing you can say or do that will deter someone like him (stalker), short of getting a restraining order.
For the first time ever, I hope the twitter/tumblr defense squad does their thing.
I know you mean well, but do you really think Dan and Phil don't know this already? They haven't responded to anything Onion Man has done in the past, don't you think that's because they
know what he's trying to do? Do you really think they aren't aware?
And like let's say they are lurking here and they were planning on responding, do you think this would change their mind?? I don't want this to come across the wrong way, again I know you mean well, but you have to remember Dan and Phil are both perfectly capable of making smart decisions like not responding to an attention-seeking asswipe.
I fully expect Dan and Phil to ignore it all to be honest

Or maybe Dan will just strategically answer another vague question in a liveshow, like the 'why are other youtubers obsessed with you' one to get the message across. But onion doesn't deserve to have his name come out of either of their mouths in public BECAUSE THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT HE WANTS. He wants senpai to notice him. But not because he actually gives a shit about their attention, he wants the attention of their fans. He's disgusting.
I actually watched his biromantic video with an open mind, but he has shat upon any good will that may have stirred up, like 'oh maybe some of his disgusting history could be explained by being repressed' or whatever. But he made the video itself weird by including actual people to name-drop... and now this bullshit. I just want to throw it out there in case anybody forgot: when Shane Dawson came out, onion released two videos, TWO, parodying it and mocking it, and then called him a f** in a livestream. Mocking somebody for coming out as bisexual when his actual wife is bisexual. He literally has no respect for other human beings and he doesn't care about anything other than attention, positive or negative. He is a living troll and wasting any amount of time or breath on him is giving him what he wants. So I hope Dan doesn't bother unless lawyers are involved.
I initially thought it was awkward as hell to mention Dan by name in his biromantic video, but now I realize it was just classic Onision. He's probably sat around calculating how he can manipulate his fans into shipping him and Dan because he thinks this will bring him more popularity on YouTube and he can become the next Phil Lester or something.
Dan didn't consent to being drawn 'being sexy' with Onision, but consent doesn't matter to Onision. If it gets him what he wants then he doesn't give a damn. And then he's offering an expensive computer as a prize as if it's just a casual art competition, which just shows he sees it all as a joke.
But there's nothing funny about a competition built on a known abuser in a position of power and influence over young fangirls, encouraging them to draw him in sexually explicit positions with a guy he's never even met who hasn't given consent for this to happen - just because he feels entitled to sexualise a colleague he finds attractive in some way.
I actually wish Dan would say something to the phandom about how horrible this guy is, because I really think some of Onision's fans don't know and don't realize this - he deletes a lot of critical comments from his comment section.
I think this is different from phandom fanfiction/artwork drawn spontaneously, because I'm pretty sure both Dan and Phil have said they are okay with that.
