Smartschoolboy9 Documentary Creator Responds Perfectly to “Sick” Memes

Nick Crowley, the YouTube content creator who explored the smartschoolboy9 mystery, has finally spoken out regarding the memes circulating on social media.

Crowley’s video has garnered nearly eight million views. The chilling saga of “David Alter” (possibly an alter ego) has captivated and unsettled viewers across the globe, resulting in some ignoring the YouTuber’s warnings and attempting to reach out to the purported predator.

Online investigators have been scrutinizing every potential lead, including shocking references to the Salad Fingers creator, successfully pinning down the suspect’s location in the UK. While these investigations may carry their own risks, an unexpected phenomenon has arisen: an explosion of “fan art” and memes that have surfaced on TikTok and various other platforms.

It’s crucial to emphasize that these memes involve someone potentially operating a network of Instagram accounts that impersonate fake children, featuring explicit and troubling imagery, with allegations that he may even pursue real children in one of his videos.

Crowley had remained silent on his social media after the smartschoolboy9 documentary premiered, but he became aware of the humorous takes. “Just saw the smartschoolboy9 memes,” he tweeted, alongside an image of Cillian Murphy’s intense portrayal in Oppenheimer.

For those unfamiliar with Christopher Nolan’s film, Oppenheimer illustrates the potential cataclysmic ramifications of the nuclear bomb, particularly focusing on the ignition of the atmosphere.

The implication is clear: he doesn’t regret sharing the video, but he perhaps did not foresee this kind of reaction to the documentary.

“It’s actually sick that people are joking about something as serious as that topic. Like it isn’t even funny,” one follower commented. “I can’t believe people have taken such a serious matter and just exploited it for entertainment. It’s insane,” another stated.

What we know for sure is that smartschoolboy9 was an Instagram account managed by an adult male, featuring images of him dressed as a child in a snug school outfit. This account has since been removed, yet other alleged similar accounts have appeared (though they may be copycats).
