Overview
The website dng65.com hosted 87 pages with approximately 800 primarily negative, racist, and anti-foreigner comments discussing Daniel's video titled Why I Hate Living in Japan.
Forum commenters criticized Daniel's complaints regarding Japanese bacon, questioned his British identity due to race, speculated that he and his girlfriend are Korean, and claimed to have reported him to immigration and police for illegal work and a sham marriage.
Daniel rejected the accusations, stating that uploading YouTube videos as a tourist does not constitute illegal work, his sham marriage comments were livestream jokes, and he pays half of all living expenses with funds brought from England.
