The Tale of Amos Yee, the first dramatard

Context:

For those unaware, Singapore is a little dot on the south on Malaysia. Because it's surrounded by pirate-ridden shitholes, it was widely expected that upon independence from Britain, it would sinkie to their level and be yet another Third-World shithole. However, Singapore went on to the be a rich and relatively powerful nation, which many credit to its mostly-benevolent quasi-dictator Lee Kuan Yew, who got Nicaragua-tier vote tallies in his time as a politician and had a devoted fanbase, to put it mildly. His timely death at 91 years of age in 2015 caused an outpouring of grief among his many supporters. In comes Amos...

Biography of a dramatard

The 17-year-old called Amos Moses Yee was a former tradcath turned atheist, who was terminally online before being terminally online was a thing, and seemed to think he was an American as a result of his only social interactions consisting of ranting for americans on Youtube.

This culminated on his publishing of a video titled... Lee Kuan Yew is Finally Dead! (I can't be bothered to find the original, this should be enough for you to get an idea):

After posting this video, Amos was remanded directly to jail, and while he wasn't at risk of being caned, he did find out the universal truth of talk shit, get hit:

He was found guilty of talking shit and went to jail a bunch of times, until in 2016 he fled to the US. For many years, he was the face of those oppressed by the PAP (Lee Kuan Yew's party) and continued to rant against the government until... his arrest over pedophilia charges. Yep.

In October 2020, Yee was arrested in Illinois on state charges of solicitation and possession of child pornography, after he allegedly exchanged nude photos and "thousands" of messages with a 14-year-old girl from Texas while he was living in Chicago via WhatsApp from February 1, 2019, to June 30, 2019.[29][30] His bail was set at US$1 million and he was banned from internet usage while awaiting trial.[204][205] After initially pleading not guilty to the charges in November 2020, Yee accepted a plea agreement in late 2021 where he pled guilty to two charges of child grooming and child pornography in exchange for a sentence of six years in prison, and having 16 other charges against him dropped. Yee was also warned that he may be deported back to Singapore and may be denied entry to the US in future, as well as potentially being denied naturalization as a U.S. citizen.[206][6][31][32] The sentence was backdated to when he was arrested, with him projected to be released on 8 October 2026.[207]
