Dean Withers is going viral for allegedly crossing a major line on stream,
00:04
encouraging his audience to report a father he was debating to Child Protective Services.
00:09
Now the backlash is growing and Dean's trying to explain himself.
00:13
It all started when a clip of progressive American live streamer Dean Withers surfaced,
00:17
showing him in a tense debate with a caller who identified himself as a dedicated parent.
00:22
The conversation, which was already a heated exchange over the age of consent,
00:26
took a sharp left turn when Dean turned to his chat and dropped this bombshell.
00:30
So here's what we're going to do.
00:32
I think that you don't deserve to have any custodial rights of your child.
00:37
The 20-year-old streamer then shifted his focus to the viewers watching live,
00:41
publicly sharing the father's TikTok handle and continued,
00:44
It's going to be their handle. If there happens to be anybody in here that's good,
00:48
it has like facial recognition software.
00:50
But before he could finish the sentence, the father cut him off sharply.
00:53
Oh, you can find me. It's fine. Nothing I said was wrong.
00:58
And why are you trying to dox people, dude? That's weird.
01:00
Because I want to find who you are so I could call CPS and have them take your child away from you.
01:04
The video has since been re-shared across multiple platforms,
01:06
most notably by TikTok user FatherRoman27,
01:10
whose audience is not okay with what they see as an emerging doxing scandal.
01:15
One of the most repeated takes, quote,
01:17
Dean thinks kids can consent, someone check his laptop.
01:20
This isn't the first time Dean Withers has used this parent call-in style format
01:25
or made controversial comments during it.
01:28
In fact, the resurfaced video shows Dean wearing a tan shirt when speaking with the father.
01:32
He is now accused of trying to dox.
01:34
While in the streamer's most recent TikTok,
01:37
he's now wearing a black shirt,
01:38
addressing the current backlash while still speaking to a different set of parents,
01:43
once again, steering the conversation into legal territory
01:46
and crowdsourcing judgment from his chat.
01:48
And around the three and a half minute mark of the video,
01:51
after a back and forth discussion of who gets to consent for minors under 18,
01:55
And what was your first response to that?
01:58
Did the parents give consent?
02:00
Did they allow it?
02:02
Precisely.
02:02
The 20-year-old creator explained the accusations of doxing are false,
02:06
as he directed his viewers to take the parents' public information
02:09
and privately send it to local CPS authorities.
02:13
Even explicitly stating to not post it on the internet.
02:16
But continued his statement apologizing for his actions,
02:19
as he stated,
02:20
I shouldn't have directed my fanbase to do that.
02:23
For that I take accountability.
02:24
There was around a billion and one ways to better respond to that,
02:28
and I dropped the ball.
02:28
Withers' comment section shows more support for the young streamer.
02:32
One fan wrote,
02:33
The right has tried so hard to cancel Dean for months now,
02:36
they'll twist anything to make him seem like a bad person.
02:39
And another explained,
02:41
They're all doing, quote,
02:42
clearly kids can't consent,
02:44
when the point is that parents shouldn't be able to consent to exploiting their children either.
02:49
But while Dean attempts to share his narrative in his latest video,
02:52
the real-world consequences for the father at the center of the original stream
02:56
are starting to escalate.
02:58
The man who goes by GoatMan91096 on TikTok
03:02
has now launched a GoFundMe campaign,
03:04
stating he's preparing to take legal action.
03:07
In the GoFundMe description,
03:09
the TikToker,
03:09
goes by the name Thomas,
03:11
wrote,
03:11
I'm not one to ask for help,
03:13
I'd much rather just handle this myself.
03:15
But as a father,
03:16
it's my responsibility to protect my family,
03:19
and Dean's actions put my family in danger.
03:22
But while Dean's fans are standing by him,
03:24
arguing this is another attempt to cancel a rising progressive voice,
03:28
the GoFundMe signals the line between debate and doxing has clearly been crossed.
03:33
But what's your take?
