For anyone who's not aware, some of the "other shit" is an extensive series of screenshots of texts where he's soliciting sexual interactions with teenage girls. Such excerpts include:
- “Why are you such jailbait? What’s wrong with you in that regard? You should just grow older you dumb b*ch.”
- "Is it cool being a jailbait?"
- “Does the FBI follow you around arresting all the men you sleep with?”
Just so we're clear that this isn't a "petty jealous ex" kind of situation.

Cartoon abuse had always been funny. All the way back to loony toons. Abuse IRL has been unacceptable for the past few decades.
