Dragonlord: Correction — Youtuber seeks help from Hateaid and is turned away

After Rainer Winkler moved to Dortmund, things didn’t calm down for the Youtuber. Instead, he is besieged at his new place of residence and police operations are taking place there too. The Youtuber sought help from the organization HateAid. He was rejected. However, the reasons he gives differ massively from the reasons that HateAid itself provides.

Unfortunately, an error has crept into the news. So we wrote: “According to HateAid, it is one of the principles of the organization not to advise people who themselves use digital violence. However, this is exactly the behavior that was observed in Rainer Winkler’s case and that is why his request for help was rejected.” This representation was wrong. We received an email from the organization HateAid asking for corrections. The correspondingly modified part is marked in bold. Please excuse the mistake.

We recently reported that Youtuber Rainer Winkler from Emskirchen has now moved to Dortmund. He is said to live there with his girlfriend, to whom he proposed on April 1st. Since the dragon lord is still uploading YouTube videos, there was no peace in his life even after his move.

Shortly after it became known that the dragon lord now lives in Dortmund, his resourceful pursuers found out his address, ordered pizzas to his new place of residence and besieged him. In short: The events in Emskirchen have now simply shifted to Dortmund and the police had to move in there too.

In a new video, Rainer Winkler now stated that in his distress he had turned to the aid organization HateAid to get help there so that peace could finally return. HateAid is a non-profit aid organization against digital violence. But she refused the dragonlord’s request. According to the YouTube video, they also gave a reason for this. The hate and bullying surrounding the dragon lord is too great and the topic is too hot for them.

But is that true? Probably not. The site ingame.de asked the aid organization and got a different answer. According to HateAid, one of the organization’s principles is not to advise people who use digital violence themselves. Exactly this behavior was observed with Rainer Winkler. In addition, analogous cases of physical violence or stalking are not part of the statutory subject matter. However, HateAid tries to do its part to ensure that Rainer Winkler is given professional advice elsewhere. The accusation that HateAid ignored the Drachenlord case and Rainer Winkler’s inquiries is therefore wrong.
