The CallMeCarson Grooming Allegations refers to the January 2021 controversy involving YouTuber Carson King, who was accused of grooming a minor. While the situation was serious, the internet's reaction often centered on using King's own iconic 'crying face'—originally from a 2019 video where he reacted to a Joe Swanson image—to comment on the drama. The meme captures the collapse of one of the internet's most beloved personality-driven communities and is used to discuss accountability, YouTuber 'apology' culture, and the fallout of social media cancellations. It remains a stark example of how internet culture processes heavy news through the lens of existing meme templates.
