you ever gonna address why you have all this information on David in the first place?
Oh dear, where do I even begin here?
In order to answer your question, I will have to explain what even got me into Creepypasta in the first place. In my case, we have to go back all the way to the Summer of 2022.
Disclaimer: I could write an entire book on how this came to be. But I am going to try my best and keep this as brief as possible.
In the Summer of 2022, I rediscovered a childhood channel of mine called "Draw The Life TikTak". They made videos on various Creepypasta characters, including the Slender Brothers. I was interested enough by the thumbnails to click on them, and – to make an extreme long story short – I became hyperfixated on the Slender Brothers, which is what got me into the Creepypasta fandom.
Into the early days of the hyperfixation, I used to watch a certain video over and over again: That being the video "Diamondbolt" made on the Slenderman fanbase ("The WEIRD Slenderman Fanbase"). This video has a heavy focus on Offenderman. When showing examples of "Offenderman ASMR", he showed two seperate clips from two of David Near's Offenderman videos, and that is where I got hooked.
That is where I started watching David Near. I would not have described myself as a "fan", but I did enjoy his content for a while for how simple yet effective it was. I was impressed by how he is able to do multiple different voices for several different characters. He was pretty much always in-character too. It was really entertaining for a while.
Though from the very beginning, I have always had an "off" feeling about David Near.
I have always asked myself the question: Why did he make Offenderman impressions? Does he not know how controversial the character is? And that is where I got interested.
His Offenderman videos always struck me the wrong way. At the time, I have hated Offenderman because he made me so uncomfortable, and David Near's videos on him definitely did not make me feel any better: It was the complete opposite. It also made me feel weird what kind of comments he would heart under these videos.
But I brushed it all aside for a while. I thought maybe I was overreacting. After all, he is just playing a character. Offenderman is literally a rapist, of course the videos involving him are going to be unpleasant.
That was until a year later in the Summer of 2023, where I discovered a reaction video on a Offenderman video of his I have never heard of before: "Valentine Memories". Because "memories" was in the title, I thought maybe this was about Offenderman's backstory? I did not think too much of it. It seemed to be a deleted video of his as well, which got me even more interested.
Honestly, I do not know why I ever watched that video fully until the end. I genuinely wish I never did, because that were the most vile and traumatizing 5 minutes I have ever had to sit through in my life. This may sound overdramatic, but I genuinely cannot describe it any other way. I was shaking.
If you have read Part 1 of my exposé on David Near, you know what this video was ACTUALLY about…
That is where I lost my respect for David Near. Why would he ever make such a video like this? This went WAY too far, and people were seemingly telling him this in the comment section. Like I said, this was a reaction video. At the end of that video, the two girls who were reacting briefly scrolled down into the comment section, where you could read David Near's "statement" for a few seconds.
Again, if you have read Part 1, you know how he reacted to the backlash he got from that video.
After that "incident", I could never see David Near the same way ever again. I tried avoiding him as much as possible, but my curiosity always got the better of me.
I have watched all Morgue Files cases, and I noticed many misogynistic "easter eggs" in it. I have seen his DeviantArt favourites, the first images you literally saw were half-naked women. I watched all of his Offenderman videos, and they always had this heavy focus on what he did or would do to his victims, which were always women.
I got the impression that David Near had misogynistic tendencies.
That brings us to last year, 2025. I wondered if anyone had ever said something negatively about David Near online, and I found nothing.
Except for a certain TikToker who exposed David Near for being a right-leaning Trump supporter.
And that did it for me: I no longer wanted to remain silent about this. I was silent for way too long. I wanted to spread awareness about who David Near actually was.
And this year I finally did it: I gathered all the evidence and courage I needed for this blog. I did it all in a single night: The night of February the 14th, where David Near would have usually uploaded an Offenderman Valentine's day special.
