Quick synopsis: Daftworld is scum, donât ever associate with him.
Daftworld is basically a crazy fanboy who is about 30-40 years old. He has a wife and family Iâm pretty sure (God bless their poor souls), and he devotes pretty much every waking hour of his life to stalking and creeping on Daft Punk. He claims to be âDaft Punks Biggest Fanâ just because he has an insane amount of Daft Punk merch, like pretty much every single piece of Daft Punk merchandise, no matter how rare or exclusive. Which isnât bad, merch is a cool thing to have, but the amount of stuff he has just skyrockets his obsessive fan status. He also takes the words âcreepyâ and âdisrespectfulâ to a whole new level. There are countless examples of the wrongs heâs committed, so Iâll just make it into a nice little list so we can all understand just a little bit more:
He steals art. He will take anything and everything Daft Punk related and rip it away from the people that made it. He will repost art, take credit for photographs and edits, download videos from other people, remove the watermarks and upload it on his channel. He pretty much just snatches up everything that mentions Daft Punk and claims it as his own.
He disrespects Daft Punkâs wishes to remain anonymous. He is a complete hypocrite and gets âangryâ at the paparazzi for taking photos of Daft Punk, and then he turns around and does the exact same thing! He probably just wants to be the only one doing it so he âgets them all to himselfâ or something. Not to mention that a lot of the time the media glorifies and holds him high for all this information he digs up about Daft Punk. Iâve heard that heâs been interviewed a few times by the media because of how much knowledge he has about Daft Punk.
He stalks Daft Punk. And I donât mean the internetâs form of âstalkingâ where you just google someone a few times and look at the first few pictures. I mean real life hardcore stalking.
One time he somehow found out Thomasâ LA address (I think I heard someone say later that it was not actually his house, phew), but he distributed this address on Twitter with pictures, too.
He also stalked Thomas and his wife and took pictures of one of Thomasâ children, Roxan, as a newborn and while they were still at the hospital where his wife just gave birth. I have no idea how he managed that, and I do not want to know because that is just so disgustingly creepy.
The most well-known incident is the most gut-wrenching video in the history of the planet. Iâm very very sorry, but I will not be linking it in this post because just thinking about is literally making my blood boil. But all you need to know is itâs a video where he stalked Guy-Man, approached him and pretty much smothered him while taking pictures and touching him without his consent. You can tell poor Guy is extremely uncomfortable, but Daftworld does not respect his personal space and continues anyways. When I first watched the video, I legitimately started to tear up within the first five seconds because itâs so extremely painful to watch how visibly uncomfortable Guy-Man is.
I also heard that Guy-Manâs brother Paul has actually contacted Daftworld once asking him to please stop stalking and tearing apart Daft Punkâs personal lives, to which he pretty much just went âahahahahaâ and ignored him, which is also his preferred method of response when someone calls him out for stealing art and videos.
Basically, he is one of the worst people I have had the misfortune to hear and know about. I try my best to be accepting and forgive people, but I will never forgive Daftworld for all the damage heâs done. I am so upset that Thomas and Guy-Man have to deal with his obsessive stalking, and I feel so sorry for all the countless artists that he stole from. There is absolutely no excuse for his deplorable behavior because if you are a true fan to someone you wonât cause visible pain to them and continue to do so. If you are a true fan, you will respect your idols and their wishes. If you are a true fan you wonât stalk your idol to the point where they need a restraining order to get away from you.
So, friends, I leave you with advice to please avoid Daftworld and his stolen art, rude comments, and disrespectful pictures. Hopefully someday we can bring down Daftworld, because Daft Punk is an international treasure and we must protect them at all costs.
And I will tell you now that no matter how much merch Daftworld hoards in his rat hole, he will never be as big of a fan as you are because fans arenât ranked on how much stuff you steal from others or how much merch you can bury yourself with. Fans are ranked by how much you love and respect the thing you are a fan of! So stay strong, Daft Punk fandom. I know you are so much more than he will ever be and I love you all very much. âĽă˝(.â˘Ě ᴠâ˘Ě .)
