Hey guys

so it’s been long enough and I do feel like kinda summarizing everything afterwards and my thoughts on everything, because it’s still been on my mind a little bit and I wanna talk about it. This is my blog, so there will be a lot more bias here since its my thoughts lol. keep that in mind please

First, I wanted to address some criticisms. No, I did not talk about vade just to “get views”, and I had absolutely every intention of letting him and me part peacefully until I was informed he was still doing this stuff and I learned more about what happened. As I stated in the video, I had absolutely no idea he cheated or some of the ages of the girls he was going after. Some stuff I did know, and I was complicit in at the time, since I thought he had just “made a mistake” and “was young and immature” which I dont think anymore, and was wrong of me at the time. A few people in the comments said that what I presented wasn’t worthy of criticizing him as a person, and people are free to feel that way. As stated, draw your own conclusions. 

if you haven’t seen what I’m referring to, take a look here: 

Vade is not making a response video, nor
do I think he ever will. I guess I have to be satisfied with that, but
personally I feel its just hiding from the controversy since it’ll hurt your
bottom line to put it on the channel, which I think is a cowardly thing to do. 

There are a few things i didn’t really go over in the video,
that I kinda wanted to get my thoughts on out here. Vade would repeatedly
slander me to other people in public discords, and would trash me anywhere he
got the opportunity to. He was very bitter about me not allowing him back on
the channel, which I suppose I understand, but he quit in the first place so I
don’t really know why he couldn’t let it go. After all, he’s doing just fine
now. He would tell people that I was a horrible person who oppressed his
creativity, and ran the channel like a czar. I dont think that could be further
from the truth. I really don’t wanna dig for screenshots for proof, but I always prided myself on my usage of the term partnership, and he had full upload privileges, and I entertained most if not all of his ideas, as he did with mine. He used to be an incredibly good friend of mine after all, and we would bounce ideas off of each other and enjoy creating together. It really hurt me a lot to see the way he would talk about me in messages some people sent to me. I wanna clarify though, that that didn’t affect my decision to make the video. I wasn’t trying to get back at him in any petty way or anything like that, I just wanted to address the toxic stuff he’d been doing.

He has this whole habit of flirting with girls and artists to get free artwork afterall. I think thats worth people knowing about. I also learned the girls he was flirting with in his discord were 12 and 14. I think that’s a bit of a problem. I can’t really understand if you don’t think that. Some people took issue with me posting the information privately and not confronting him, but what you guys missed was the repeated times I told him he can’t keep doing this stuff. He would make excuses, wouldn’t listen, would gaslight me into thinking there wasn’t a problem. 

The Undertale fandom really seems to have a problem with these kind of people, and I really don’t know why that is. I guess it’s just a product of having a large fandom about a game that draws in people. 

Now, why did I make this post? I just really felt like I needed to talk about it in a more personal matter. It’s been bothering me a lot after I learned all this stuff, and weighing on my psyche pretty heavily, and I guess I just felt like sharing it with you guys. making the video completely CONSUMED me for a week, and I felt awful the entire week. When I put the video up, I had my first panic attack that I’ve ever had. woohoo. It’s incredibly painful to see someone you wanted to resolve things peacefully with lie and absolutely degrade you in comments, even when to your face hes begging to be allowed back on the channel, as well as lie to me all those years about his actual behavior. Overall, it is something that I think shouldn’t be ignored. I guess its his choice to not make any form of a response, since hes raking in cash doing undertale dubs and he doesn’t want that to be hurt. (Did I mention that he hates undertale? Cuz he told me that multiple times, and that he only wants to do it for the cash. He also told me he had no passion for videos anymore, and just did them for money and because of our friendship). 

Bleh. Long post, i know. If you guys want to continue watching him, it’s not like I can stop you, nor do I even really want to. I’m just a little tired of seeing people excuse his behavior in comments, and I’m sure hes still using artists work without them knowing about it.  

I’m open to talking more about this if you guys want to send asks. Unlike Vade, I’m not afraid of the truth. 

I’d love to send this as an ask, or reply to the post.  But I don’t think you’d appreciate about 7 or 8 different notifications from the same person LMFAO. Anyways, I really do hope you take the time to read. If not? Oh well! Your choice, my dude. (Cut for my poor followers that have to see this akdkdmgnksm)

So. I distinctly remember watching this video at around 2am, a day after it was posted, as I was very quickly succumbing to the hellfire of sleep. And you know what? My only thought at the time was “What the fuck is this.” And being so ready to believe what the video said. You had your points, you had your receipts. But… seeing it come back now, in the form of an afterthought post, just leaves me asking: Why? Why put THIS MUCH EFFORT into ruining someone’s life online when, with all the evidence you have, you could get him jailed and removed? Quick, quiet, no fuss no muss. (1/4ish)

The thing I think people don’t realize is, you don’t NEED to kick up a hornet’s nest to get disgusting people like that off the internet. Which is why I’m left wondering… how true your statements are, in that video. I’m all for keeping people safe from pedophilic behaviour, and for exposing people that are harmful to minors, but you don’t… NEED an afterthought post prefaced with “now this is my personal opinion, don’t get pissy lol.” or more specifically: “This is my blog, so there will be a lot more bias here since it’s my thoughts lol”

This right here. This alone begins to discredits every single thing you said in your video. There’s someone else I watch on YouTube a lot, she gets called a pedophile a LOT, but not for accusations of it. She’s a trans woman. People are calling her a pedophile because she is a trans woman. That’s their only basis. And your only basis is that Vade is a pedophile because he was flirting with people who may or may not be minors. I didn’t see any real proof of age anywhere. I still don’t. And while I’d LOVE to just sit here and watch the drama unfold while staying out of it…

… It’s way too painful watching someone who did a fantastic job dubbing Handplates, one of my favourite webcomics, someone I enjoy rewatching dubs from sometimes… stoop to the level of the same shitheads that try to tear down people’s lives for fun. Vade might be a shithead for what he’s allegedly done, I will not disagree. I’m also wholeheartedly behind getting child predators off the internet and out of the public. But you’re proving to be the bigger shithead for trying so so hard to get traction on this when you can… do the better thing and report him, have him jailed, and watch as he vanishes into the aether, with nobody remembering his name.

I think that’s all. Thanks for reading, anyways.
