Don't know why the Reddit thread doesn't go more into it besides a bullet point but Julian and Ding Dong went on a big tangent about Shadman in that stream.
(Starts at 1:14:02 in

They outright claimed that five members of the Newgrounds clique were also pedophiles (or "doing harm to real children" in Julian/DD's words) and bragged that no "internet sleuths" would ever find out who they were (1:22:11). Some of the stream is pretty unhinged and it becomes obvious that they were willing to put up with the guy when it benefitted them. Especially when they went on a big rant about Newgrounds trying to rebrand itself as more family friendly and how fucked it is because Shad was still around.
You would think they would expose the identity of the pedos if they really cared about potential victims but they only used it as a way to make a point that trans people aren't pedophiles since these conservatives are (even though half of that Newgrounds clique is full of people with Twitter friendly opinions nowadays but that's neither here or there). I already have some guesses on the identity of these five but more digging is needed.
