Parlo’s Allegations Against Pyrocynical: A Deep Dive
Recently, renowned UK YouTuber Parlo, who boasts a subscriber count of 523K, stirred controversy by announcing on his Discord server that he is preparing to launch a new video targeting prominent content creator Niall “Pyrocynical”, who has amassed 4.82 million subscribers. Parlo, well-known for his exposé videos, has a history of engaging in feuds with fellow YouTubers, often sparking heated debates within the community.
In his message on Discord, Parlo levied serious accusations against Pyrocynical, alleging that the latter had shared explicit content with a minor. Specifically, he claimed that Pyrocynical sent inappropriate messages to a young individual.
“He got away with sending porn to a 16 year old boy which he knew his date of birth and age [it was a 4 year age gap], Pyro was 20 [this is illegal]. He sexted this boy up until he was 17 in 2018, Pyrocynical was 21.”
Further intensifying the allegations, Parlo accused Pyrocynical of attempting to cultivate a “proper relationship”with another minor.
“Pyrocynical also dated a 14 year old when he was 18, and was planning to initiate a ‘proper relationship’ with her when she was 16. Waiting for a child to become legal is indicative of grooming.”
The controversy gained traction when X user Saammuel (@Saammuel) tweeted a screenshot of Parlo’s Discord message, suggesting that Parlo plans to accompany his video with a “100-page document”aimed at “correcting the record”surrounding Pyrocynical.
“It seems Parlo is dropping a video and a 100-page document on Pyrocynical. He’s claimed that he’s going to ‘correct the record’ around him.”
The 2020 Pyrocynical Grooming Controversy
This latest controversy comes on the heels of a similar incident in 2020 that involved Pyrocynical. In that instance, a user named Ivory Rasmus accused him of grooming when they were 15, while he was 19. The allegations included claims that Pyrocynical had sent explicit material, including fetish-related content.
Although Ivory shared what appeared to be supportive screenshots, the messages originated from an account identified as a “Deleted User,”prompting skepticism regarding their authenticity.
In December 2020, Pyrocynical publicly refuted the accusations, labeling them as baseless.
“I want to set the record straight with you all and share the truth. This accusation is 100% false and incredibly irresponsible.”
Despite his denial of the allegations, he confessed to having engaged in conversations that some might perceive as “weird and distasteful.”
“I am not denying that in the past, I took part in conversations with others that many of you will understandably consider to be weird and distasteful (probably an understatement). It was careless of me not to consider who was behind the role-play/art sharing, and I take full accountability.”

The situation further escalated later that month when another YouTuber, Turkey Tom, released a lengthy document purporting to contain evidence corroborating Ivory’s allegations. In response, Pyrocynical reiterated his innocence, claiming:
“I just want to be clear- I have never lied at any point, this document is disingenuous, manipulative and it fails to include so much of my original statement.”

As of now, Parlo has not disclosed a specific release date for his upcoming video or accompanying documents, and Pyrocynical has not issued any statements regarding these latest allegations.
