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!

I am a man of simple pleasures. I drink coffee, I like post-modern literature, wearing suits, attractive people and beers after work and more than anything in this world I want to adopt a guinea pig and name it SPEED METAL
Josh celebrating Canada Day in style. 174,900 notesWhat a perfect representation of a character that has never been given a canon description. 8,700 notes
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.

Hello friends! In celebration of Lady Gaga’s new track Aura, dubbed “Burqa” by many of her fans, a lot of white people are showing their enthusiasm by fashioning burqas out of scarves, towels and blankets! I thought now would be a opportune time to make a quick tutorial if you are one of those white people and are planning on rocking some… er… “burqa swag” of your own. Accuracy and proper execution is the key. Here’s a step by step guide!
Step 1.) Find something solid and sturdy
Step 2.) Strike yourself very hard in the face with the broad side

—Josh, telling those racists what-for. 11,900 notes
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.
I’d like to rehash the fact that I am a legal adult, so in that regard he did nothing wrong. What was wrong were the situations in which he disregarded my obvious discomfort in seeking out his own sexual gratification, as well as the unsolicited and unwanted sexual pictures he sent me.
Also, a disturbing thought has crossed my mind, in that although I am 21 years old I’ve often been mistaken for 15 or 16. It’s disturbing to me that he seems to continually go after girls who are either underage or who look like they are.
oh all this stuff about josh macedo is coming out cool he was like that with me when i was barely 17 and thought it was really cool that an Internet Celebrity was coming onto me so i didnt like. tell anyone that i was uncomfortable i guess and i like consented and whatever but yeah he was very uh sexual without any prompting whatsoever with me soooo lols :)
I posted this originally under a read more but decided that, with the direction this is all taking, I would post it for more people to see in full. I know some of his apologisers are still out in their bowtie wearing ranks so I’ve taken a preemptive measure and shut down my ask box. As a disclaimer: I’m not claiming I was sexually harassed by Josh Macedo, I am not saying I am a victim, especially in comparison to the girls coming out in the tag, but I am posting this to support the evidence that he creeps on underage girls knowing that they are underage and that he makes people feel uncomfortable.
My age was on my blog, my evident minor status very clear. I was pretty naive about that stuff last year and once I became more aware, I also became more uncomfortable with it. He rarely reblogged from me, or even liked my posts, but the posts he did like were always sexual in nature.
This is so weird. I had a very similar exchange with josh, he sent me the same photo of him semi naked that this person has here. I suppose he’s sent it to loads of people, he’s said similar sexually charged things to me in the past which I never thought twice about cos it’s the internet and it didn’t mean anything to me? Plus I have a bf so it wasn’t reciprocate obvi.
The heart-warming story of her relationship with Josh.

i have talked to 3 girls today who told me about bad experiences they had with josh macedo (who want to remain anonymous and well one look at bitsys blog will tell you fucking why lol) and another person he approached when they were 16 years old (deerhoof) is also posting saying that he sent unsolicited nudes to them and a ton of his friends are expressing that they had seen warning signs for this kind of behavior in him and had been too worried to say anything about it and are now no longer friends with him after bitsys story and all this other information came out today so i dont know how you could possibly be continuing to defend this trashbag but thats rape culture for you
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.
“
he definitely cheated and attempted to cheat on me multiple times with different people (at least seven different people, as far as i’m aware right now) throughout our entire relationship
last year i spent a while in therapy in an effort to be a better, healthier person and so that i could trust him and he took all of that for granted, lied to me, and made me feel like my bad, jealous feelings were irrational and unfounded when they apparently really weren’t and i don’t know how to come to terms with that
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
It's funnier if you think of this as a timelapse of his day.Mmm. Look at that shitty lighting and vague facial expression. So hot.
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.
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.
“
um i just got off the phone with the regional police in his area and it looks like joshua is in the hospital right now. i called a little over an hour ago because he was seriously suicidal and i don’t know if i did the right thing because i know so many people think he deserves that but i can’t bring myself to not still care about him and want him to be okay
hi you guys, i guess this post is just to inform you all that joshua has been released from the hospital and is safe at home and resting. i’ve been talking with him throughout the morning as well as with his sister, and to some lesser extent his parents as well. naturally he deserves to feel guilty and should be punished for wrongdoings but not until he is in a less precarious psychiatric state and can rationally process things
A message to all the girls he's sexually harassed.
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.
“
i understand ‘stay neat’ has been interpreted as……..passive-aggressive and i hadn’t even thought of it that way. he has a tendency to be awful with goodbyes and tries to keep it relatively “positive” so i had interpreted it as genuine. it’s reasonable for others to disagree. he’s given me full access to…..pretty much everything that requires login information so i’m going to go change it now
