Dax Flame: Real or Fake?

[Black Ranger RX]

Okay. For those who are unfamiliar, Dax Flame is a video blogger on YouTube. His channel can be found here..

http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=Daxflame

Dax Flame is pretty much noteable for the weird things he does such as gurgling chocolate syrup, sticking tape all over his face and ripping it off, saying mean things about his mom, and other stuff. He gets bullied alot on YouTube, mostly from people posting comments in his videos and sending him PMs, which lead him to post his infamous video where he announces that he'll be ending his blog. He later changes his mind and continues making blogs, only later he made an unfortunate appearance on public television. Despite this he's still not given up blogging and is currently still doing it today.

Anyway, to get to the point, lately there's been some controversy on YouTube over Dax Flame being fake. People are spreading the word that Dax Flame is actually an actor portraying Dax Flame and making up stories. There are many YouTubers trying to prove that Dax Flame is fake. Trouble is, to me none of which seems to be convincing that Dax Flame is fake. One YouTube tried to use the fact that Dax Flame only subscribed to one other YouTube channel, but I'm pretty sure not even that's enough, I'm sure plenty of other YouTubers only subscribed to one channel, some even subscribed to none. What else, another YouTuber showed how in Dax's earlier videos he seemed calmer and in his more recent videos he's more hyperactive, but to me that just seems more like Dax getting more used to blogging.

And what else? There's stuff speading around on YouTube about Dax Flame being portrayed by somebody called "Madison Patrello".



Er... right. :rolleyes2:

So... how can a girl actually portray a boy? Yeah, sure Dax Flame's house looks similar to Madison's, but judging from the look of this picture, Dax Flame looks a lot skinnier than Madison. Or maybe it's vice versa, Madison Patrello is actually portrayed by a male.

Or maybe it's just a simple case of Dax Flame and Madison Patrello are 2 seperate actors who just live in the same house. Maybe they're students living in an apartment.

And Dax Flame isn't the only YouTuber getting accused of being fake. Many other YouTubers get it too. For example, LisaNova (who I recieve bulletins from but never really watch her videos). But WHY? Why would people make fake blogs? What would be the point?

And to be honest, if YouTube is going to be overloaded with fake blogs, then I think that's sad, because I prefer to watch real video blogs, such as Nuodai, and HakkaUnico (who by the way hasn't made any new blogs for a LONG time, maybe she's busy but I still love the CareBear video). I like to watch "real" people's video blogs, because that's what's part of the fun of video blogs, and if it's all acted out then that just takes all the fun out of it.

But anyway, back on topic, do you think Dax Flame is real or fake, and why?

Very insteresting. It looks like that pic was taken in the same house, maybe he has a sister or friend who lives with him? Maybe takes pics in his house?

I thought he was real, but I WANTED to think he's fake, I do think that there’re kids just as "messed up" as he is. Because a lot of those comments he gets on his video are mostly insults that are degrading and telling him to kill himself is just sad, and it sucks to be someone who can't really get a clue and just wants to be accepted. And watching his vids do kinda make me feel guilty because its more like I’m laughing at him more than with him.

Reason why I think he's fake now:

That’s enough proof to convince me

Either way, He's still entertaining, lots of people find it obvious that he's fake.

if the guy's for real and i pray for society's safety that he isn't, then the guy really needs to get some help, some therapy and a few ass beatings,

what kind of asshole purposely throws chocolate syrup all over his mother and doesn't feel bad about it?

or what about his random acts and temper tantrums for seemingly little things...........

i'm just trying to say the if the guy's for real, then he needs to get some help, before he does something really stupid that ends with a lot of people getting hurt.

btw video blogs are for loserz.


also, if you're smart enough, you can use the IP addressee I caught in that video and use it to track some one's location down.

You know you're a YouTube junkie when...

Okay. I personally think he's fake BUT:

1) I know a boy who is 'slow' like him. Slow is not a word I want to use, because it makes him sound retarded but....I dont have another word for it. My friend who is 'slow' has the same mannerisms and speech as Dax. So that makes me want to believe he's real.

2) The reason I DON'T believe he's real is when Jacob came over. Dax is an amazing actor....Jacob however, is NOT. And it felt like Jacob was simply reciting lines.

Even if Dax is fake, I think he's entertaining.

what kind of asshole purposely throws chocolate syrup all over his mother and doesn't feel bad about it?

What video is that???

I tried watching it...I really did. I watched it for 4 minutes, and I seriously wish I could take those 4 minutes back.
