Mini Manson 🦇

Mini Manson is a man on YouTube who is obsessed with Marilyn Manson. He performs cover songs in his home (not just Marilyn Manson).

I'll give you the run-down:

  • He has pictures of Marilyn Manson and licks them on camera.

  • He admits to having a bladder fetish.

  • He claims to have once pooped on his partner's sofa. He then hid behind the sofa, waited for his lover to come home, then proceeded to use the soiled sofa as a puppet to communicate with said partner.

  • He was used by Jesse P.S. of Pod Awful to troll the Highland Park mass shooting (which Mini Manson now "kinda" regrets).
