Have you seen the gigantic list of Josh's "crimes" that gets spammed all over the internet? It has dozens of bullet points alleging serious crimes, all nicely paired with citations so you know it's true. There's truly horrific stuff in there -- multiple accusations of ongoing, current stalking; allegations that Josh threatened to rape his girlfriend Stephanie; that he forced himself on his girlfriend Summer; that he has sent unsolicited pictures of his dick to minors and much, much more. Only problem is that many of the accusations are baseless, with irrelevant citations attached or are wildly misrepresented.
Here's the link, conveniently posted on the alog's personal subreddit (lol)
I want to be clear, before I make a giant effort post refuting a lot of these bullet points that I don't think Josh is a good guy. There are a handful of things on the Shit List that are both true AND accurately described. I'm not going to try and defend him at all in these cases. However, and here's the truth of it dood, it's a handful of things. Out of dozens of serious, evil allegations only a few are true. 2024 Josh doesn't really deserve someone to go through and pick this list apart and again, I don't think Josh is a good guy, but I'm doing this for the goofy old Josh we all once knew and loved and in the hope that there's SOMETHING to refute the blatant lies that get spread on the subreddit.
If anything I post is wrong, please let me know, I don't want to unintentionally be as bad as these reddit creeps.
Channeling the spirit of Oprah through my ouji board in the Casper cemetery, here goes:
Admitted to sexually assaulting a female special needs student in middle school. He admits he grabbed her breasts, tried to kiss her, and masturbated in front of her without warning or consent. The girl was so ignorant to what was happening, and to what sex was in general, that her only response to Josh's actions was, “Make that white stuff come out again.” The girl's specific disability is unknown, but per Josh's own words, “She was special needs enough for people to notice” [
1,
2].
Starting from the top, this is a serious and disturbing one, I'm not going to lie. I don't doubt Cobra on his word on what happened but I do think the author is deliberately obfuscating the fact that Josh was also in middle school at the time. This is not an example of sexual abuse, it's two special needs kids that hit puberty fooling around in the woods. Only an extremely autistic and socially unaware person would share something like this but hey, that's Josh for you.

- Is currently stalking a woman codenamed “LN”. LN has an active stalking order of protection against Josh [3]. Despite the order forbidding Josh from interacting with LN's immediate family [4], he has somehow managed to become good friends with LN's parents and regularly makes trips to their home in the hopes of catching LN by surprise [5, 6].
- Is currently stalking a female classmate from high school named Alicia. The stalking briefly ended when Josh was told by his father that Alicia passed away, but this turned out to be a lie that Clint perpetrated in an effort to curb Josh's behavior. A paypig would eventually disclose the truth to Josh years later, reigniting the stalking [7]. Josh once discussed a hallucination he had suffered where Alicia, walking hand in hand with her boyfriend, loudly proclaimed, “I feel bad about rejecting Josh in high school” [8, 9].
- Is currently stalking a woman named Felicia, whom he briefly interacted with in 2015 while she was working at Piercing Pagoda [10]. Josh purchased a pair of earrings from Felicia without saying a word while she was working the cash register. He still wears those earrings, “Every time I squeeze it [his earring], I can still picture her face” [11]. Josh has named two sex dolls after Felicia: full-size Felicia and fun-size Felicia. He eventually destroyed both sex dolls in two separate and unrelated instances of violent “sexual frustration” [12].
These are all pretty much the same, so can be addressed all at the same time. Josh isn't "currently stalking" any of these women. That's totally false. Ellen never had an order of protection against Josh, as alleged in citations [3] and [4]. In fact, citation [4] is literally a link to the form you would fill out with nothing related to Josh or Ellen at all. Josh hasn't been to Walt and Angies in about a year. In addition, Ellen hasn't lived at that house in years.
Similarly, he hasn't actively stalked Alicia since HIGH SCHOOL, more than ten years ago. His behavior was absolutely bad and inappropriate, but he was also a minor. He has mentioned her name about a dozen times in the past year, only in reply to trolls that bring her up. There's no evidence of active stalking at all.
From what I remember Josh never really even stalked Felicia. He absolutely mentioned her a bunch, and pined after her but he never went out of his way to contact her or meet her again, and as creepy as it is to name a sex doll after a person you had a random interaction with, he didn't name both dolls after her. His first doll was called "Queen Cobra." This doesn't matter, but is a good example of the original author's fact checking and lack of actual knowldge of Josh's past actions.
Overall,
Truth Rating: 10%
- Stalked a female coworker named Dani. They worked at The Office Bar together. Years after being fired from The Office, Josh was caught using a photo of Dani, on which he had drawn hearts, as his computer wallpaper [13].
Nothing Josh did toward Dani could be considered stalking. He was kept on a pretty short leash at the Office and frankly that computer wallpaper is so childlike as to be ridiculous. This entire allegation of "stalking" comes from a few contemporary mentions of a hot goth chick at his work and a harmless wallpaper picture.
Truth Rating: 10% (he did have the wallpaper, that's true)
- Admitted to stalking and sexually harassing several women in high school [14].
This is true and he's repeatedly expressed regret for this. He was also a severely bullied, autistic minor when this happened.
Truth Rating: 100%
- Commanded his “cult” to gang cyberstalk the YouTuber Gothic Dee until she permanently deleted her account [15].
Josh actively apologized for his troll's behavior and the original author would know this if they ever actually watched the video linked, notably it's not a timestamp of Josh saying "gang cybertalk Gothic Dee" because he never said or even implied that. Bitesize has covered this incident repeatedly and it was truly an example of Josh's trolls instigating drama between two extremely autsitic adults. Also, Gothic Dee "permanently deletes" her various accounts multiple times a year.

- Cyberstalked and harassed his ex-girlfriend Stephanie until she permanently deleted her YouTube account [16, 17].
One of the most ridiculous accusations here and the easist to disprove; one of the citations is a video explicitly telling people to leave her alone. In addition, Stephanie is back on Youtube and never "permanently deleted" her account.
Truth Rating: 0%
- Has flashed viewers on YouTube and Facebook without warning, masturbated while video chatting with fans without warning, and sent unsolicited dick pics to fans as young as sixteen [18, 19, 20].
This is the sneakiest entry on the list, imo. Cobes has definitely whipped his dick out on stream and has been appropriately punished for it; but that second bit is a serious, major, prison time allegation and the original author states is like a fact. There's literally no evidence of it in any of the citations listed aside from a "donate to talk shit" in the first link. Random DTTS are not evidence, especially of serious crimes. This is a psycotic thing to allege about someone and would legally be considered libel.
Truth Rating: 5%
- Doxxed the names and addresses of over 70 donators in one sitting [21, 22].
Only the second citation shows him actually doxing, and that's a single person, not 70. IIRC he inadvertendly doxxed a bunch of people not out of malice but because he is metally regarded.
Truth Factor: 0.01%
- Doxxed a classmate he used to bully in high school while talking shit and laughing maniacally after hearing that the classmate's mother had just passed away [23].
This one is true and was a really vile thing for Cobra to do.
Truth Factor: 100%
- Admitted that he often intentionally gets an erection in public and shows it to random women [24, 25].
I don't doubt that Cobes has done this, and it's very bad but the citations provided are about the opposite of what the OP claims. In the videos Cobra is talking about women checking his boner out while it's in his pants. Very distorted portrayal of reality with this one.
Truth Factor: 5%
- Admitted that he does not wear underwear at bars because it makes flaunting his erect penis easier. He also implied that he brushes his erect penis against unsuspecting women's asses as he walks by them at bars [26].
Real Cobra Heads know he always goes commando. Another thing I totally believe Cobra has done, but the citation has no mention of it and is simply a link to a 30 minute video. I bet there's specific proof of him talking about this out there too, OP is just terrible.
Truth Rating: 5%
- Admitted to peeing and farting on a wounded antelope before attempting (unsuccessfully) to slaughter it with a “samurai sword” [27].
Another misrepresentation of the facts, whether intentional or unintentional. If OP actually watched the video they'd know that the peeing and farting happened after the antelope had already been slaughtered and dumped on someone's lawn. Again, still gross and weird but very different from pissing on a dying animal and then trying to kill it. Josh states very clearly that they called some friends who dressed the antelope. Also, I feel like this is one of the less-weird things I've heard of drunk men doing to dead game animals.
Truth Rating: 5%
- Admitted to crushing a small bird to death with his bicycle in a premeditated and intentional manner [28].
Disgusting and probably true but I'm lolling about the word "premeditated" here. Like Josh woke up one day and was like "I'm gonna crush a baby bird with my chopper bike tire today, hell yeah!"
Truth Rating: 90%
- Admitted to poisoning his three family dogs with THC (dozens of times) and fed Mountain Dew to LN's parents' dog on camera [29, 30].
- Admitted to poisoning Puff with THC by blowing smoke into his enclosure (multiple times) [31]
- Poisoned and killed his pet praying mantis on camera with nicotine (an insecticide) and an alcoholic drink combo, then tried to profit off of the killing by selling the corpse for $666 [32].
All of these are essentially the same allegation. Not going to debate it, I'm sure Josh did this and is proud of it. However, the sheer absurdity of giving a praying mantis weed and a drink combo is so incredibly funny to me I'd give him a pass on that one. It's a bug...
- Often wields a loaded shotgun when drunk [33].
Says "often" and provides a single example. Again, this is bad and Cobes shouldn't have done it but this isn't regular behavior and hasn't happend since.
Truth Rating: 50%
- Was obsessed with necrophilia in the past [34].
Mentally ill child has gross obsessions, breaking news. The video linked as evidence for this is literally about him regretting this btw. Neverthless;
Truth Rating: 100%
- Threatened to stab his best friend's sister Carolyn and was convinced that he'd get away with it if he told the police he was autistic and acting in self defense. He also made several jokes about Carolyn's recent double miscarriage and said that he was glad her babies had died [35].
Before the alogs invaded from Tik Tok and ip2 this was the strongest and most often posted evidence of Josh being a total piece of shit and I can't disagree. In my book the worst thing Josh has ever done by a wide margin.
Truth Rating: 100%
- Said he wanted to rape Stephanie (as a joke) when they lived together [36].
This event is pretty murky--I don't believe we know the truth absolutely but in Steph's own words it was a "rape joke" that Josh said that disturbed her. Very different from a rape threat as a joke. Sort of a CNN style misinterpretation with this one. OP ought to have a cable news show...but I digress.

- Was accused of “forcing sex” on his ex-girlfriend Summer [37].
Lyle Dutch Dragon is the secondhand source of this accusation. Disregard everything he says. I doubt OP even knows who he is.
Truth Rating: 0%
- Fantasizes about sexual assault while masturbating [38, 39], and beating women to death for sexual gratification [40].
Sure, whatever. Josh is a sicko, I'm not going to debate that.

Might as well just say "Is highly regarded and from Casper, WY." For what it's worth Josh has "queer" family members and has almost certainly never met a Jewish person in his life. Maybe one black guy. Still;
Truth Rating: 100%
- Identifies as MGTOW—Men Going Their Own Way—an anti-feminist, misogynistic, mostly-online community advocating for men to separate themselves from women and from a society which they believe has been corrupted by feminism [52].
OP conveniently glosses over the fact that Josh calls himself a MGTOW-
Feminist in this clip, which as hilarious as that is directly contradicts the first point OP made. Again, Josh is not smart, he's definitely misogynistic, but he also really loves his gender studies professor step mom and genuinely does try to be a feminist.
Truth Rating: 50%
- Constantly objectifies women, speaks down to women, has extremely violent sexual fantasies about women, refers to women as “of-age pussy”, cunts and bitches [53], and is generally sexist in every regard [54, 55, 56, 57, 58].
Yeah this one it pretty on point. Like I said, Josh is a misogynist and has boomer-like ideas about men and women, still, portraying this as something unique or exceptional is crazy. This is true of many men.
Truth Rating: 100%
This is gross and weird but is this really a moral questionable? Like, is this really evil, harmful behavior? It's juvenile and gross for sure but who cares? OP is really reaching at this point.
- Does not understand or agree with the basic principles of consent [62, 63, 64].
Josh has said the opposite of everything he's said in this video multiple times. I don't think he has a particularly correct or progressive view of consent, to be sure, but this is another reach.
Truth Rating: 25%
- Was arrested for public intoxication and homicidal threats towards his dad [65].
True and fair, very bad behavior on the part of this Boglim. This one and the Caroline one are probably the most accurately portrayed, terrible things Cobes has done.
Truth Rating: 100%
- Has told viewers to commit suicide and has celebrated after hearing viewers have [66, 67].
Two sources from the Boglim subreddit where redditors text Josh really sick shit day and night when he reacts post about it triumphantly for praise from their loser friends. Who cares? Fuck these people.
- Constantly yells at delivery drivers, does not tip them, and gives them 1-star reviews for restaurant errors [68, 69, 70].
None of these links show Josh yelling at delivery drivers, in general Josh is pretty polite to worker even though he is autistic as fuck. Not tipping and leaving 1-star reviews sucks but is not some "gotcha" that OP thinks it is.
Truth Rating: 30%
- Constantly attempts to weaponize his disability to garner sympathy, pity, or special treatment from his fans, and to avoid accountability for his actions [71, 72, 73, 74, 75]. For the record, there are countless examples of individuals with autism who act nothing like Josh [76].
This is another of those moral judgements made by OP that don't mean anything. Josh is dumb and mentally ill, we know. That's great some other random person with autism isn't a boglim.
Truth Rating: 0% what does this point even mean?
That's everything. Hope this ridiculous post is worth it to someone.
