NovaOnline has, unfortunately, been subjected to a protracted Truman Show-like harassment campaign online. Usually billed as 'trolling', Nova has unwittingly been categorized as a lolcow, and for several years (as of November 2024) has been receiving continuous bouts of harassment, both online and in real life. This goes from petty internet trolling to some people online contacting his places of employment to get him fired.
Origins
Nova, due to his mannerisms and appearance which is different compared to many individuals, first started being harassed in 2020, around the time when he began being a content creator on TikTok. Originally, this was annoying, but controllable and ignorable. As 2020 continued into 2021, the harassment grew, with photographs of a vulnerable Gabriel in the midst of an age regression bout being leaked and lauded as pedophilic ageplay.
2022
2022 was a 'steady' year. The harassment during this year remained relatively on the same level, with weens (a term hereon borrowed from the CWCsphere to refer to people who try and fail to annoy Nova) usually flooding his public livestreams and Discord servers to try and get him riled up, more often than not failing.
2023: escalation
In 2023, the harassment escalated massively. During this year, several individuals contacted his place of employment, getting him fired from there. More photographs of him were leaked onto Discord as well, with several YouTubers defaming him by covering the harassment campaign against him from the perspective of the 'trolls'.
2024: present-day
As of 2024, the harassment seems to be never-ending for Nova. Podcasts such as 2 High 4 Stupid and YouTubers like Kiwitapes and SmokeyMcC continue to fuel the flames of harassment by uploading more videos about him and accusing him of being a pedophile (usually with troll-provided pseudo-evidence).
