Well that explains it. With Kpop stans the industry encourages obsessive behavior (and even stans brigading others, like what happened with the Minecraft speedrun community here) and treating the idols as fictional characters. He probably has the same motive as the industry—more popularity and money this way.Because people like Markiplier and Jack atleast sometimes reign in their fanbases, meanwhile Dream literally fucking encourages their weird ass shipping and shit, and it gets them even more obsessed with Dream and his group, since it feels like he's "validating" them.
It's also why Skeppy's fanbase is just as shit, and closely tied with Dream's fanbase.
EDIT: Also I should mention for Dream, It's almost definitely on purpose. Notice how he had his stans go and harass the guy who uploaded the video? He keeps his "stans" around at his beck and call, to do whatever he wants. He literally acts as some Minecraft dictator. It's really fucking weird and I hope he learns a lesson about that shit not being okay.
Plus it looks plain awful that he won't even shut down the shippers when they do shit like draw him and TommyInnit (16 years old) fucking, and making pornographic content of the underage Youtubers in that group in general.
Maybe getting alienated from the speedrunning community when that was his initial claim to fame will make him see what he's doing. Seems all these new Minecraft content creators are young people who grew up watching other let's players and have a poor concept of having boundaries.
