Youtube sleuth Bernievidz did some digging into the infamous urban legend surrounding alleged early internet stalkers who were rumored to have influenced Warner Bros. cancellation of Tiny Toon Adventures.
Bernievidz begins by placing his investigation into the larger context of an examination of the cultural phenomenon of “internet fandom.” The primary source for his investigation was a 20-year-old online article titled “Terror From The Year 1994” posted on the website Crush! Yiff! Destroy!, a forum for furries. Bernievidz quickly debunks the article as largely false and loaded with unsubstantiated rumors, although there is some truth to the piece which he follows up on and clarifies.
That article’s primary claim was that fan-fic writer Dennis “Quozl” Falk was an internet stalker whose obsession with voice actor Tress MacNeille (Babs Bunny) got so out of line that Warner Bros. was eventually forced to cancel Tiny Toons. After digging through years of archived internet message boards, it quickly becomes clear that Tiny Toons’ cancellation had nothing to do with any internet stalker, and it gets even murkier about whether or not a stalker even existed. What’s more, in the video Bernievidz gets Falk on the phone for a call that seems to cast even more doubt on the “Terror From The Year 1994” article, which Falk describes as a “hit piece.”
