Revision as of 04:16, 27 September 2013
Josh Macedo, also known as confusedtree, joshishollywood, badcgijosh, and potatoblade, is a 24-year-old resident of Ontario, Canada and was a member of the popular blogging site tumblr, where he reigned as Quirk-God of the Social Justice Realm, gathering thousands of notes and taking many concubines in his wake. Unfortunately, most of them weren't legal. Whoops!
—Josh, being oh so quirky and adorable. | ||

His claim to fame was his skinny stature, sophisticated nature, bowties, and silly poses. Thanks to his gratuitous self-photography, his face is widely known across the tumblrverse. His Canada Day antics have enjoyed massive popularity, and in 2012 he inadvertently started a meme that gained tens of thousands of reblogs and was imitated hundreds of times in the span of a few hours. The meme was declared dead the following afternoon, making it open season for other websites. If being a skinny, POC pretty boy wasn't enough to garner all of tumblr's affection, he was also an outspoken feminist and regularly called out the sexism that ran rampant on both real life and the internet. He quickly became a positive part of the social justice front of tumblr.
—Josh, telling those racists what-for. | ||
More recently he became many tumblr users' "headcanon" face for Cecil, the narrator of the podcast Welcome to Night Vale. It's undetermined why they took such a liking to him but reliable sources say it's because he's thin and non-white. As everyone on tumblr knows, if you assume a character with no description is white, you are racist. Fans jumped at the chance of creating Cecil fanart using Josh's image to represent him.
But Everything Changed When the Pedo Nation Attacked
On September 13, 2013 tumblr user 
sweet-bitsy posted her chatlogs with Josh from earlier in the year when she was still 15 years old. Not long after bitsy's reveal of Josh's creepy actions, other women began to come forward with similar stories of Josh's unwanted advances, the majority being under 18. Several other chatlogs/text screencaps were posted that showed even more of Josh's extremely awkward and unrelenting flirting techniques, one of which was just sending pictures of himself masturbating without warning.

Somehow Josh failed to realize that though the age of consent in Canada was 14 prior to 2008, it has since been raised to 16. Or maybe he did know and just wanted some sweet jailbait nudes. I mean she posted a picture of her bare legs on her personal blog. She was totally asking for it.

The heart-warming story of her relationship with Josh.

[+]envenime, the new ex
Josh, not content to be a simple child-harassing pedophile, decided to open up shop for infidelity and abuse of a rape victim as well.
envenime had been dating Josh until September 13, 2013 (your guess as to what happened) and decided to join the rest of us in reporting on his bullshit in shocked disgust.
Release the Nudes
Shortly following the bombshell confessions, tumblr user aubrophonia, recognizing peak shitstorm conditions, decided to leak the nudes he had been saving for just such an occasion, presumably not before fapping to them one last time.

The Fallout
Though the fact that a few of these women were over 18 only makes him pedophile-esque, Josh's diehard feminist persona has been shattered and people have begun to question whether or not it was a front for getting pussy all along. Many of his fans abandoned him while a select few stayed on Josh's side to blame all those dirty whores for leading Josh on and ruining his good name.
His blog went without updates for several days before word came from people close to Josh that he had checked into a clinic for suicidal thoughts. Less than a day later he was released.

Upon his return to the internet he deleted his blog and put a placeholder up that was nothing but the words "Stay neat"... along with his AdSense ad. (Hey, if you're getting attention for preying on young girls, you may as well profit from it!) Josh was heavily criticized for this by both his own friends and tumblr at large. Fortunately for him, the majority of tumblr is too goddamn stupid to use AdBlock. Everything has since been deleted but it seems to have been wiped by envenime, not Josh himself.
Josh Apologists
After the initial wave of "Josh is a creepy sexually-harassing underage-girl-using cheater pervert", a backlash formed against the backlash with the goal of standing up for him and calling his victims out as the terrible people they are. The defense force ranged from fangirls bitter that they weren't deemed worthy of Josh's cockshots to victims of rape and sexual assault jealous that they weren't getting as much attention as women whose harassment they deemed superficial. If we've learned anything from our Lord and Savior Chris Hansen it's that victim-blaming is a real thing usually done by sexual predators and jealous bitches.
Yes, why didn't every single one of the dozen or so women Josh harassed just block him? This would have solved everything!
—allixee, who should be the REAL focus of attention | ||
—unremarkablehappenings, the craziest apologist found to date | ||
unremarkablehappenings does bring up a good point. It's entirely possible that Josh has been so shaken by this scandal that he will no longer bother keep up his fake feminist facade. What a damn shame. We should all start dialogs with each other about why sending pictures of your dick to a minor nine years your junior isn't a good idea. Together think of all the headaches we can prevent if we just understand that exposing yourself to children is frowned upon.
