Made to inform and clear online tensions. I, Tab, do not agree with any of the actions in this document. I was asked to write about this not knowing what the anonymous people would claim. I feel as if I should have not written on this, especially since I was not personally involved. I am deeply sorry for writing about it without understanding anyone's actions.

This is not a document made to incriminate or “cancel” @birdydogs. This is made to defend and share why Rory’s behavior online should be addressed. He has been constantly calling out and trying to ruin other creators’ image so he looks better - so he’s the hero. His past and recent actions show that he will villainize someone’s actions just to put himself in a better light.
Rory has been repeatedly posting and bashing a content creator, blowing up the severity of a situation. He has claimed to be accused of being called a p3dophile or a pr3dator, which is untrue. We are not calling Rory a p3dophile in any way; we are calling him immature, inconsiderate, manipulative, and a creep.
“This doc took too long to come out! You should’ve posted the evidence sooner!” As the one and only person writing this document, I apologize. The reason this took so long is that I am in college and have just finished my final week(s), as well as keeping up on orders/commissions for my mask business. Rory has made a situation where our side is being pressured to post evidence, claiming everything we’re saying is BS if we don’t post it now. This is a form of gaslighting, used to make others (the viewers and his fans) question whether or not we have solid evidence.
It is also not as extreme as it seems. The pressure to post a document is due to the severity of the accusation, but again, there is no accusation being made. People have been commenting, saying “Solar is so disgusting for this, accusations like that can and will ruin someone’s life. Keep being you Rory, you’re not doing a single thing wrong!” - yet we’re still not accusing him of doing anything illegal. Rory has twisted the situation to make it seem that way; to get people on his side.

ᯓ Backstory with Rory’s behavior ::
[ANONYMOUS #3]’s experience with Rory (@birdydogs) ::
“I was one of the folks to help out a bit with the Ollie document (a doc that should’ve NEVER been made but that’s a different story). I had personal experiences with Ollie as at the time we were close friends that I felt needed to be included. It’s also important to include I specifically asked for my name to NOT be in the doc. The document was overseen by [ANONYMOUS #1] and written by Rory. No one other that [ANONYMOUS #1] was really able to contact Rory during this which was sorta fishy, all information was funneled through him. A few times other people working on the doc would reach out and he would refuse to work with them and would act cold.
One of the things we were including in the document was that Ollie was in possession of CP, since he had nudes of his then-boyfriend, both minors/early teens at the time. I disagreed with this idea, I thought that the bigger issue was the fact Ollie had manipulated and forced his partner to send them, not that it was CP. At the time I was unaware that it was CP since it was sent to another minor (stupid thinking I know, I was young and didn’t know better). Me and [ANONYMOUS #1] got into an argument, which then led to him proving me incorrect and me apologizing. Unbeknownst to me, [ANONYMOUS #1] had sent screenshots of our conversation to Rory, who then put them into the document labeling me as someone who “waters down CP”. In the screenshots provided, you can clearly see that I apologized and admitted I was incorrect. I was freshly 15 at the time the doc came out, I was not warned or told I would be in the document this way.
I was horrified, I didn’t know what to do I was terrified of being labeled as some sort of terrible person like that. I knew and [ANONYMOUS #1] knew that wasn’t what I meant. I immediately contacted [ANONYMOUS #1] and asked him to take it down, explaining my feelings. He instantly apologized and said he’d tell Rory to take it out. Rory refused to take it out after [ANONYMOUS #1] told him to, saying I needed to “learn my lesson”. Even after others working on the doc told him to take it out he still wouldn’t, as he was the only person with access to editing the document. Since then, about a year and a half ago, I have faced backlash. I nearly lost friends that night, I had to desperately contact everyone who I knew would read it to tell them what actually happened. That document is public, a permanent mark on my digital footprint. My family, friends, and future employers can find it.
Even though I was only labeled as someone who waters down CP in the doc, I have been called a CP defender by folks online. It’s extremely distressing. For over a year I was afraid of Rory, he was an adult and I was a kid, he had power over me; until a few months ago when I contacted him. He claimed to have a memory disorder and didn’t know who I was, going back and forth with me, making me repeat myself, until finally admitting he put me in the doc. Only to say he couldn’t change it because he didn’t have the password to the account he used, he gave me a half-assed apology after I asked for one and told me “I hope you’ve learned your lesson.”
Rory repeatedly doesn’t take accountability for his own actions and will twist the words of innocent people, in my case a minor, for attention and validation, even after being told to take it out by the leader of the project he volunteered to work on. He has shown me and others he doesn’t care about who he could harm as long as he gets validation from it. He sees himself as a savior, a white knight, protecting people, mainly minors, from dangerous monsters. But the truth is the dangerous monsters he’s fighting are fabricated to make him look better.”
- Screenshots of Rory’s “apology”, straight up saying he didn’t believe I was facing backlash from it, and a screenshot of [ANONYMOUS #1] telling me that Rory would’ve taken it out if I DMed him (funny he says that because he suddenly doesn’t know who I am when I did).
- What Rory said about me, proof [ANONYMOUS #1] asked him to take it out, and proof another one of the people working on it asked him to take it out and was ignored. Others also asked but I don’t have screenshots I think.

ᯓ Rory’s videos about [ANONYMOUS #2] ::
[ANONYMOUS #2]’s experience with Rory (@birdydogs) ::
“Rory has wrongly accused me of grooming. I will be the first to admit that what I did wasn’t right but it - and I cannot stress this enough - was NOT grooming in any way whatsoever and the relationship was legal under our states’ laws, despite Rory’s claims that it wasn’t - NO I’m not saying this made it ok.
For context, an actual definition is posted further down on what grooming is. While it is true that I was dating this individual for a time, it is extremely important to understand before reading further that the relationship was almost exclusively platonic. We had a few sleepovers and sometimes said “ily” to each other. The most affectionate we were at any point was cuddling (which to the extent of my memory, only happened twice), and aside from that, the most we did was occasional hand-holding. We did not even kiss in any way. Given the almost entirely platonic nature of the relationship (it was more of a friendship with a label than anything else - especially physically so) as well as my own autism, I didn’t understand at the time quite why it was inappropriate, despite the age gap, which I was originally misled.
No, this is NOT me trying to excuse my behavior or imply that I did not make a significant mistake, but it is an explanation for it. In full truth and honesty, yes, at the end of our relationship, I was eighteen, and they were fifteen. Again I hasten to clarify, that context is important before making assumptions:
Despite accusations of the contrary, I was also a minor when we started dating. At the time, I was 17, and under the mistaken impression that the other person was 15, which I was barely comfortable with, but I was impulsive and in a bad headspace as I had just left an abusive relationship.
AGAIN, I am not excusing my decisions, but explaining the full context and reasoning. When I was later told by the person they were 14 and not 15, I continued the relationship despite my immediate apprehension, because I was worried about their mental state and I didn’t want them to hurt themself. I have only been in 2 serious relationships, both times I was broken up with, and both times I was suicidal in the aftermath, and was admitted to a mental facility the first time because of how severe it was. I didn’t and don’t believe that romantic relationships should have that large of an age gap, but I value my friends’ well-being and safety too.
I personally struggle immensely with turning down/saying no to people, and I didn’t want to force them to suffer that kind of rejection, especially with the memories of having been broken up with myself being so recent. This was also why I hardcore defended myself in my DMs with Rory. I felt stuck, and I doubled down when in hindsight I see that I should have let it go. I shouldn’t have initiated the relationship in the first place and I know that. I made mistakes, I chose poorly, and I take full responsibility for my actions, but I am NOT a groomer.
Grooming definition - Grooming is when a person builds a relationship with a child, young person, or an adult who’s at risk so they can abuse them and manipulate them into doing things. The abuse is usually sexual or financial, but it can also include other illegal acts.’
This is not what I did. I did not use the other person or attempt to manipulate them for my benefit. I wasn’t trying to get anything from them, get them to do anything, take use or have power or influence over them, or have any ulterior motives whatsoever.
[ANONYMOUS #1] and I have also talked things out, here is screenshot evidence of them admitting they weren’t uncomfortable with me in the relationship and so on. And in case anyone says, “Well they could just be saying that to make you feel better!” They admitted it to another user (who would like to remain anonymous) in DMs.”

ᯓ Thoughts on [ANONYMOUS #2]
Let’s be absolutely clear:
It is not okay for an 18-year-old to date a 15-year-old.
There is a significant difference in maturity, power dynamics, and legal standing between a legal adult and a minor. Even if the relationship is non-sexual or “platonic,” the imbalance of experience and autonomy is undeniable, and the potential for manipulation - intentional or not - is high. The age gap crosses a critical boundary: one person has entered adulthood, while the other is still legally and developmentally a child. No amount of personal context, emotional reasoning, or “state laws” change the fact that it is fundamentally inappropriate.
That said, this document is not an attempt to excuse, justify, or defend that kind of relationship in any way. [ANONYMOUS #2] even said to themselves that this was not okay and they wished they acted better. But this situation did happen, and we can’t change that. I, in no way, support [ANONYMOUS #2] for these actions. Yes, that kind of age gap can be concerning, the relationship between them had ended less than a year after [ANONYMOUS #2] had turned 18, due to them both being uncomfortable. The point isn’t to accuse Rory of being a predator, but to call out the double standard. This is about the hypocrisy and the harm caused by that kind of selective judgment. This document was created for one reason only: To highlight Rory’s blatant hypocrisy.
Rory has publicly condemned and attempted to "cancel" others for age gap situations - labeling someone as a groomer over a relationship involving a three-year difference - while at the same time permitting or turning a blind eye to his own adult partner maintaining a close relationship with a 15-year-old. If Rory genuinely believed that a three-year age difference in a teen relationship was grounds for public shaming, then he should have had equal or greater concern about the adult he’s in a relationship with communicating intimately with a minor.
What this document exposes is not just poor judgment - but selective outrage. Rory has positioned himself as an advocate for minors and online safety, yet when it comes to his own circle, the same standards don’t seem to apply. Worse, he has used his past trauma as a shield to deflect fair criticism, weaponizing his platform against minors who dared to speak up or call him out, while falsely claiming to be under attack.
Once again, this isn’t about defending anyone’s actions in dating minors. That behavior is inappropriate, full stop. Solar and Tab do not support this. This is about holding Rory accountable for the double standards he enforces - where he condemns others publicly for things he seems willing to tolerate (or excuse) when it benefits him. If you're going to act as a moral authority on the internet, you should be consistent. Rory hasn’t been.

ᯓ [ANONYMOUS #1] states they’re talking with Rory’s bf ::
The person in white is [ANONYMOUS #1], the person in blue is [ANONYMOUS #2].
This shows that [ANONYMOUS #1], a minor, was talking with an adult man. Rory tried canceling [ANONYMOUS #2] because of an age gap of 3-4 years, yet he let his partner talk to the same minor [ANONYMOUS #1]? That is the reason this document is being made - not because of Rory’s actions, but his inaction towards his boyfriend's relationship with said minor.
The whole reason Solar is involved in this discussion is because he wishes Rory would give an apology to [ANONYMOUS #2]. Rory then took this comment and made it seem like Solar was calling him a p3dophile or a gr00mer, which is untrue. He is using his past trauma with gr00ming to make people feel bad for him - claiming Solar is calling him a pr3dator just to make people take his side.
No document was ever going to come out about Rory’s inaction with his boyfriend, but after he repeatedly posted about Solar and begged for evidence, here it is. Although it’s not evidence of him being a gr00mer, it is evidence that he has been actively seeking drama on the internet for quite some time.

ᯓ Situation with Solar ::
ᯓ Backstory :: Solar commented on one of Rory’s posts calling him out. In this YouTube Short, Rory claims he was called a gr00mer and a p3dophile for creating safety content for kids. In this video, he is very clearly talking about [ANONYMOUS #2] and how he “was doing my best to prevent what happened to me from happening ever again.” He mentions how he was gr00med as a child and is trying to spread online awareness so the cycle doesn’t continue. (video :: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Dta20YAX8sU) Although I appreciate content like this, that is not what Rory is doing. Instead, he pushed himself into a minor’s relationship and tried to cancel one of them - posting multiple videos about the situation.
I’m also very intrigued as to who claimed he is a gr00mer/ p3dophile and what context this was in. In this Short, Rory states they called him this because he spreads online safety for minors. In my opinion, this quote was either said to Rory for a reason, or Rory exaggerated a comment about some situation.
Solar commented stating that Rory needed to own up to his actions (trying to cancel a content creator while also letting his partner talk to a 15-year-old). Solar wanted to call out Rory for his hypocritical behavior, yet he replied with a pitiful (paraphrased) comment: “It’s really hurtful you commented something like this on a video where I was opening up :(“
Solar replied saying Rory owes an apology to [ANONYMOUS #2] for trying to cancel him, yet when Rory pinned this comment to the top of the video (to gain attention and bash Solar), Solar decided to take down the comment to not start drama. Rory took this and decided to publicly call out Solar on his community posts.
I’m still confused as to what accusation Rory is talking about. Nowhere did Solar mention p3dophilia of any sort. All he was trying to call out is the fact Rory is actively letting his 20+ year-old partner talk to a 15-year-old. Rory then commented on Solar’s community post (shown above) saying what Solar commented was an “inappropriate and accusatory message,” which is untrue. He then goes on a rant about how if he was doing something wrong, there would be evidence. This has been his main defense since this whole thing started. He’s been constantly posting and reposting things about what Solar has supposedly said without even telling the truth. Rory is not a p3dophile or gr00mer - no one has called him that. The arguments made against Solar are invalid because they do not even accurately portray the situation. BirdyDog’s whole defense is that “there is no proof” - well here is the document with proof.
Rory is constantly posting guilt-trippy content in the form of YouTube Shorts, as well as paragraphs on his community page. He is specifically stretching the situation to make it seem like Solar is calling him a gr00mer on a post where he opened up about being gr00med as a child. He is putting on a victimized, caring role, saying he’s grateful for everyone’s support and that surely he’s not in the wrong because there is no proof of him being a gr00mer. Of course, there is no proof of him being a gr00mer, that was never the argument. He tries coming off as a hero of the internet who was randomly attacked and accused, yet he specifically has done the same things in the past.
Not to mention, Rory threatened legal action against Solar. I don’t understand why he would say this - no one is accusing him of anything illegal. He has made up a scenario in his head about what Solar had commented, and it’s gotten out of hand.
This next Short shows Rory's response to a story Solar created (video :: https://youtube.com/shorts/MdqxgOhu56A?si=cLnjNOrGnipA_6Fa). He claims that Solar never mentioned anything about an apology in the comment, yet it was Solar’s second comment, not the first, that said this. He then brings up how the original video he posted was talking about how he was being harassed for making the content he does, which again, I do not think Rory is getting harassed for no reason. There is no proof of him getting harassed or any hateful comments about the content he posts. We can see in the previous situation with [ANONYMOUS #3] that Rory tends to exaggerate moments of miscommunication and then act oblivious to how it affects other people. I wouldn’t be surprised if Rory says he never saw any comment about apologizing to [ANONYMOUS #2], or even claiming he doesn’t know who that is.
Rory then quotes Solar, saying “What actions? You never once mentioned what I’ve allegedly done, at all, ever. In fact, you also say in the beginning of this video that you don’t think I’m a pr3dator or p3dophile. So what have I done?”
That’s correct, we never once have accused him of that. Instead, we have told him that his partner is a creep for consistently messaging a minor, even in cases where the minor goes to the adult for comfort. Any close relationship between a 15-year-old and a 20-something-year-old over the internet is inappropriate. For Rory to not only be allowing that, but defending it is hypocritical and creepy behavior. The claim that his partner, Frank, has “never once posted online” is irrelevant. Why would that matter? Adults are still able to get into contact with minors without posting.
Rory goes on another angry rant about how Solar has not given any reason to dislike him. “As the accuser, you have a responsibility to provide evidence of what has happened.” I do agree with this - that’s why we’re making a document. Solar has deleted comments and posts because he did not want to be involved in drama again, but here we still see plenty of evidence of Rory’s behavior. He claims people have no right to be scared of him, a loud adult with over 60k subscribers on YouTube alone, and that he is scared of his accusers because they have been trying to find his address. As someone who is searching through his comments, looking at his reposts, and talking to others in group chats, there is no mention of anyone looking for his address. I’m deeply sorry if this has been happening to Rory, and I’m sorry if I haven’t caught it; no one deserves to be scared their life will be in jeopardy because of their community.
Another reason people have to be afraid of him is because he’s proved over and over again that he’s willing to create documents and post about situations to ruin someone’s online reputation.
But to point out, Rory has been begging for people to post a document and screenshots, so why isn’t he posting all this supposed harassment he’s been getting? The majority of comments I’ve seen are people supporting him because they’ve been fed lies by Rory himself. They see Solar as someone making a “serious accusation with no evidence” - which is true! We don’t have evidence of something we’re not accusing him of! His argument that we’ve been withholding evidence and that it makes us untrustworthy is just inconsiderate and childish. We are minors finishing up the last semester in school, of course, we’re busy. The fact he’s pressuring us to post the screenshots now without any context is manipulative. This whole story requires plenty of context, especially the situation with [ANONYMOUS #1] and Solar. It takes time to make a document. I have been working on it for five hours straight at this point. I’m sorry if I don’t have the motivation to work on this 24/7, but I’d like to think it’s not as urgent as you’re making it out to be since it’s not meant to accuse you of illegal activities. It is made to call you out on creepy, manipulative behavior, both past and present.
“Solar just loves drama - hes been in ot before ! Plus, him and his partner are almost adults, yet still friends with a 13-year-old !!.”
I’d like to address this comment as well. The drama Solar went through in June-July of 2024 was so stressful to the point where his physical health was affected (/srs). Solar does not enjoy drama - that’s the reason he deleted his comment in the first place. He wanted to avoid making himself the center of attention. He never accused Rory of being a p3dophile or pr3dator, Rory only made the situation seem like that so he could have the upper hand.
Another thing, Solar and his partner are almost legal adults. The friend this comment is referring to is 13 years old. The funny thing about this is Solar, his partner, and the 13-year-old have stated they won’t be in contact once they become adults. Here is a screenshot from December 27th, 2024 of them joking about it. Their name will not be mentioned due to them having nothing to do with the rest of this document. And again, the reason Solar (or anyone else) has not been posting evidence is that we have more important things to worry about. Again, this is not a priority because we are not making “life-ruining accusations.”

ᯓ Extra ::
Rory deleted a comment about the [ANONYMOUS #1] situation and he refused to acknowledge what [REDACTED #2] had to say - calling them a gr00mer anyway.
☄‧ ₊✩˚
ᯓ Summary ::
This situation centers around Rory (@birdydogs), a content creator who has repeatedly escalated online conflicts, misrepresented others, and used emotional manipulation to frame himself as a victim or hero. Despite claiming to advocate for online safety and accountability, Rory has distorted events to portray others - like Solar and [ANONYMOUS #2] - as malicious or dangerous, even when no such accusations were made. He amplified minor disputes into serious allegations, deflected criticism by guilt-tripping or citing trauma, and refused to take responsibility when confronted with the harm he caused, especially toward minors involved in past drama.
One of the key turning points was Rory misrepresenting Solar’s call for accountability as a baseless accusation of being a pr3dator, when in reality, Solar simply requested an apology for Rory’s unjust attacks on [ANONYMOUS #2]. Rory also failed to address his own partner’s inappropriate communication with a minor - something he criticized others for. The situation spiraled further due to Rory’s refusal to clarify, his pattern of dramatic callouts, and his tendency to play the victim when challenged. He is known to be loud and confident - trying to talk louder than the person he is against so he seems correct
This drama serves as a reminder that rumors and drama online can quickly spiral into falsehoods and damage real people. Rory was the one who inflated this situation - twisting comments, framing others unfairly, and pushing a narrative that served his ego. The more we rely on emotional storytelling and unverified claims to fuel online discourse, the more likely we are to cause irreversible harm. Online accountability must be rooted in honesty, context, and restraint - not manipulation, victimhood, or the need to "win" a narrative.
If BirdyDogs even mentions one of the [REDACTED] people by name, I will refuse to accept any other parts of his argument. The only person that matters in this document is Solar, and by mentioning the others that were too scared to even stand up for themselves, he will be using their past mistakes and current fear to gain leverage. I predict he will try to use their wrong doings to turn the blame onto them, claiming he is the victim and that people should focus on the minors’ mistakes. All I hope for is that he will either talk with his partner and apologize, or, at the very least, let this situation rest. I want nothing more than my community to feel safe and like they can trust their favorite content creators, but I will also defend someone I love when they are being told they’re disgusting by people online.
