Recently there has been infighting in Beg Bears cave which has caused an exodus of some longtime bears. I don't want this to be a list of literal who's, that being said, I don't think my post would make sense without some background information. Here we go:
Singalong Bear and Nathaniel Slattery Bear
Owen likes to keep around Bears that have talents he can exploit for free. Singalong Bear seems to be relatively well liked within the community and does parody songs
like this one about lemons on DLive to Coldplays "Yellow." Nate does long-winded, boring ass streams about the Bible that are chock-full of Owenisms. Obviously, Singalongs content is much more accessible and popular which made Nate jealous and desperate to draw the attention of Big Bear...
All of the bears are sycophants so it's hard to draw attention that way. What's a bear to do? Pick up a tambourine and play alongside Singalong? No, too beta. So he did the next best thing: picked fights with his fellow bears by calling them whores, predators and livestreaming their children!
Ty Richards
This guy made a tour poster for Owen and it seems like the attention he got for that made Nate a little jealous of him as well. So Nate decided to act like a huge creep about it and do a livestream where he looked at photos of Ty's young daughters and called them whores for ... some reason? Anyway, Ty put him and Owen on blast:
Which caused some of the bears to act fucking psychotic. Ty covered this in an AMA (
Archive) and showed some of the threats he has been receiving, such as the following from Heterodoxy Bear:
Interestingly, Ty claims he brought his screenshots and videos of Owen talking about bears killing people to the police. There is some speculation that the "swatting" Vox and Owen keep harping on about was actually in reference to this matter. However, I have yet to find any but concrete evidence of this.
Saucen Bear and Semper Bear
Saucen was a longtime bear that Nate said, "acts like a whore." During one of Owens livestreams he talking about Nate and Singalong so, she brought it up. Ever the mature leader, he responded by screaming "WHORE" at her multiple times. This video gives a pretty concise rundown of what happened:
After this she cut ties with the group, as did her friend Semper Bear who made a
long video explaining his frustrations with Owen.
Eventually, Nate did apologize for his behavior, not in reference to the creepy kid shit or to the people he insulted,
but to Big Bear. I'm having trouble finding the video of Owen reading the letter Nate sent apologizing to him, but I remember it happening because it gave me such strong secondhand embarrassment. This has been way too long but I'll end on an uplifting note:
They got married a few months ago. I would bet dollars to donuts they have some sort of
arrangement in case Singalong gets the opportunity to be the new Dolev and share a romantic evening with Beg Bear at Epcot. Nate won't have any problem, as long as he can watch.
