In January 2021, Carson was accused of grooming underage fans, and after he lost several friends and countless fans over the controversy, he quickly went silent on the internet, ceasing to post on all platforms. In the five months since the controversy, the streamer has \u2018unofficially\u2019 resurfaced online twice. In one instance in April, Ludwig revealed that Carson had messaged him while on stream during his subathon to request that he turn off a video featuring him that was auto-playing. Then in May he \u2018accidentally\u2019 posted an old political article, though many people believed the post to be a deliberate way of testing the waters for his return. Now, the streamer has caused uproar again after he posted a tweet on June 19 that read: \u201cGive me a little bit longer.\u201d The unexpected post immediately caught people\u2019s attention on social media, but not everyone agrees that he should make a comeback. Fans want Carson to return There were some fans who felt that the initial response to the allegations had been disproportionate, and some even went as far as to say they \u201ccan\u2019t wait\u201d for him to return fully to social media and content creation. https:\/\/twitter.com\/Lotad69\/status\/1406461718864220160 Original Tweet Others blamed Twitter for the huge controversy, and claimed that those who are still mad at him need to \u201cgrow the f**k up and get over it.\u201d Original Tweet Backlash against Carson\u2019s \u2018comeback\u2019 However, Twitter was also flooded with messages from those who still feel Carson should stay away from social media. Some pointed out the fact that even Carson\u2019s friends distanced themselves from him. don&#8217;t get me wrong i used to love carsons content but the fact that his friends aren&#8217;t even friends w him anymore says a lot \u2014 \u2606 (@p5ychonauts) June 20, 2021 So we gonna ignore the fact this dude got nudes from a minor? Now, I will not fight the age gap, but a minor is a minor, same way a crime is a crime.\u2014 Quar (@Quarant1ned) June 20, 2021 Carson compared to James Charles Beauty influencer James Charles issued an apology back in April after admitting to messaging underage boys inappropriately, claiming he believed them to be over the age of 18. His name started trending after Carson dropped his tweet, with many drawing comparisons between the two creators. People asked why the response to Carson\u2019s behavior hadn\u2019t been matched when it came to the allegations against James. https:\/\/twitter.com\/chelseamay214\/status\/1406490895042498561 Original Tweet How long Carson is planning to wait before making his return is unclear, and it\u2019s also not known whether he plans to make a video addressing the allegations or jump straight back into regular content creation. Regardless, his return will continue to divide opinion online.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Twitter reacts: CallMeCarson sparks controversy by returning to social media Twitch: CallMeCarsonStreamer and YouTuber CallMeCarson shocked many when he returned to social media after five months of silence following his scandal, but people are divided over whether it\u2019s right for the creator to return to posting.
