16xOrion

16xOrion is an American YouTuber who makes different types of content, often in the vain of AI Covers and the like.
==History==
16xOrion was born on August 17, 2004 to two parents, Anna and Chauncey. He grew up in a toxic environment. He had unrestricted access to the internet at age 9 which explains a lot about him. Around in early 2017, he created his first channel, at the time named GeminiWoman (Which is now named AshzieReads). This content was GoAnimate Videos and the series that was on there sparked the trend of Sonic Gets Grounded.
==Controversies==
===Sonic Gets Grounded===
In 2017, Orion made Sonic Gets Grounded series, a series in which involved the titular character getting grounded. This was met with hateful comments, mostly consisting of rabid fanboys calling for the videos deletion. As an act of damage control, Orion made a quick video stating that it was the "Sonic Boom" Sonic and not the actual Sonic which led to even more backlash, Orion later deleted the videos and hasn't addressed it since.
===Grooming allegations===
From 2017-2020, 2021-2021 and 2023-2024, there's been allegations of grooming by several parties, one of which is named MIGHTYFIGHTER20XX. He alluded that Orion had groomed him multiple times, the issue with this is that there was next to no evidence and the allegations at the time were spearheaded by people who hated Orion. This was later brought into play with the numerous videos (now deleted at the hest of Orion's therapist urging him to delete them) where Orion will have mental breakdowns at the issue and even threatening suicide. It doesn't matter since MIGHTYFIGHTER20XX has been vilified for the false allegations since then, thus marking any allegations as untrue.https://youtu.be/4qUDBFsVIU4
Another incident occurred when in a server, Orion had a mental breakdown and left the server, he made a video on RoseyPup his alt channel detailing the lies and shit he went through. This was met with hate and scrutiny by the old members in that server he was in, with most of them alleging he was a pedophile/groomer for next to no reason. It was later revealed by Orion in a Document that the owner allowed minors unrestricted access to the NSFW channels and he alleged that the owner was projecting his grooming tendencies onto Orion. Since then there was no noise from either side since both had stopped talking to one another.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L3D3TzG1TiQ
The last allegation was against Orion to his ex boyfriend, YourLocalActor. Actor alleged by screenshots that Orion was a Pedophile and Groomer, and Actor called Orion out on Twitter involving screenshots that were out of context. In those screenshots Actor painted a picture that Orion did Loli/Shota RPs when in reality these Screenshots didn't showcase what he claimed, there was allegations of a Smash or Pass involving Lolis/Shots which were just Adopt or Punt which showcased these characters, he tried to claim this was under NSFW Category when it was under the Text Category. These allegations ended up being a waste of time, and Orion publicly stated that "Actor was my ex, and anything that he says is to be treated as Bad Faith". Orion came out with allegations of his own, stating Actor was a racist, anti-semitic, cheating, lying-scumbag that cheated on him with his now boyfriend JJD, Orion alleged that according to his boyfriend and numerous testimonies that Actor had actively stated how much he wanted to SA JJD, and Orion stated if Actor continued with this bullshit he'll call the cops. And called the cops he did. According to Orion he filed a warning to the Cops that his ex was trying to find out where he lives and will try any attempt to put his family in harm, he then admitted to the roleplays that happened, it turns out Orion did those when he was underage, and the cops asked if they were fictional to which he said they were, no arrests were made, ever since then. Actor has quieted down after this incident which marked the last of the false grooming allegations sent towards Orion.
===HarleyTBS===
In mid 2023, Orion was involved in the HarleyTBS drama alongside 3 smaller YouTubers named Moomin, Grimskulls and Foxton. All of them ended up making videos involving HarleyTBS calling him out, to which Orion later apologized for on his FictiousColbat (Now named RoseyPup) channel. Most of his videos on HarleyTBS were parroted from Moomin, Foxton and Grimskulls, and later in Orion's Senate Call video described it as "wanting to fit in." This ended up becoming his downfall as he sent the link of Harley's server in Moomin's and this led to someone joining and sending gore.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wu8M-uYlLNI
In the leaked DMs provided by Artsy. It revealed that they were planning on Gayopping Harley's server, to which, Orion said the "4-Chan Involvement" was a stupid edgy joke. Orion was later excommunicated by Foxton and Grimskulls after a "Sending His Nudes" joke was made, they clarified they weren't calling him a groomer but it was for their own safety.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4wHesoA0OGQ
According to LioConvoy, Grimskulls was aware of the NSFW done in Moomin's server (Due to Orion's statement, which he later claimed on KaiWeiss' video about Lio that he "Wasn't aware Grimskulls talked to Moomin about it. Just that he said he couldn't do anything about it, since he wasn't his father.") Orion has since apologized to the both of them which led into quiet static from the two of them.
