On April 13, 2021 MCToon had Flatter Day Saints on his channel for a debate. During the debate, FDS claimed that rainbows were caused by the firmament and that “You cannot recreate a rainbow in a house without a concave mirror.”[1]
To debunk this, Toon queued up a video by Jimbo Science called “Indoor Rainbow, Flat Earth Debunk”, where a father and his children spray water to create a rainbow inside their garage. As Toon brought it onscreen, the video was paused, showing a child sitting on the floor with his hand on a water valve.
Before Toon had a chance to explain anything or play the video, FDS began making filthy, unwarranted accusations that the child was imprisoned by Toon, possibly a victim of kidnapping or molestation:
FDS: Is that a picture live from your basement, Micktoon?
Toon: No.
