* WhyFandomCantHaveNiceThings: Lenny was forced to blur out the name of the guy who made the guide videos in "[[VideoGame/DarkSouls1 Dark Souls]] BUT with the IGN guide" after some of his fans started harassing the small [=YouTuber=] "Doritokllr", who made a brief appearance in the ''VideoGame/{{Bloodborne}}'' IGN guide video explaining [[CheeseStrategy how to quickly kill Rom, the Vacuous Spider with the Flamesprayer]]. He specifically said that him getting all worked up by the guide is an act and that no one from his fanbase should be sending harassment to anyone because of his videos, and blurred the guy's name out to prevent the situation from reoccurring.
