#zeal

I just messaged Makeship and asked them to cancel my pre-order with the explanation that I do not wish to support Zeal after it's come to light what he's done.

I highly encourage everyone else who's pre-ordered the Sebastian figure to do the same! I don't know if Makeship even does refunds but that's not what matters here. What matters is sending a message, to let them know that people do not wish to support sexual assaulters like Zeal and neither should they!

Hopefully it'll make Makeship take down their Pressure products and cut all ties with the Pressure devs!

Fuck Zeal! Fuck sexual assaulters!

EDIT:

They cancelled my order and decided to end the campaign!

If anything they just saved more people. Especially pressure fans who don't want to support someone like that. It revealed more writing choices were actually just discrimination. It showed us Sebastian was stolen.

Most importantly, it let people support Ren so people like Zeal can't silence them again.

Pressure was inevitably going to go down with Zeal. He's too selfish and would never actually pass it to good people anyway. I think people need to stop getting mad at Ren for making it public.

They even said they didn't mind if you still enjoyed the game. That was never the focus. Would you have rathered the voice actors not know who they're working for?

Especially since Zerum fetishized Sebastian- and potentially even Gianni as him.

I just saw a post about how "an innocent game was brought down with it". That's why I'm making this post. They stated they hated Ren for it though "not as much as zeal".

If the game was truly free of the sin of its creator it would not fall with him.

Besides the assets got leaked. Instead of hating on the fucking victim, go make it yourself, hm?

As much as I loved pressure- it needs to fall. It needs to burn down. We cannot leave Zeal any support, especially not pressure, not the game Ren worked on and became a victim to the creators of it.

I'm genuinely fucking disgusted by the victimblaming over a video game. I know pressure was important. I literally based a fuckton of my life on pressure and was continuing to. But is it Ren's fault that pressure is falling with the rapist who created it? No. That is ALL on Zeal.

More victims of either manipulations or serious scams have spoken up because of Ren too. Ren opened the gates for affected people to speak safely.

If anything, I'm grateful to know and to choose to quit pressure. I am grateful that I did not live with no idea for another year.

Sexual assault is serious. A video game may be important to you but Ren is a human being who was scarred by Zeal.

Day 4, Desperation and Hope. I've drawn the inside of the prison dungeon, before and now I finally draw the outside! Also I'm slowly developing my original story more, so here's some of the new cast!

I feel so lost

Pressure was everything to me. I was basing my life around it. My gender was connected, my very soul, even when I didn't play as much.

I hate knowing that when people ask me if I have a favorite topic or favorite game I won't be able to go on for an hour about it. I hate knowing that I'll never play the game again. Never see Seb's shop myself again, or get jumpscared by a node.

I was so excited for more updates. I feel like I'll never have that spark again. I know this sounds really stupid, it's a Roblox game whatever right?

I guess it was the only thing I had that people didn't actively harass me for too. Being a hellaverse fan gets people pissed at me every other day, and I have a love-hate relationship with dandy's world, and writing is just... So difficult now.

I hate knowing pressure was a lie. They never intended to make the lore good for the fans. They did things to stop fans from having good things.

I don't know that I'll ever be as excited to wake up as I have been over pressure updates. I don't know that I'll ever look forward to a package so much as I did all of my pressure plushies. I don't know how to listen to the music again (Ren/NoLongerNull's music, it was my favorite..) without knowing what they did. What they're doing now. How much hate and evil they've carefully hidden for years.

Doors was never the thing for me. But pressure I just...

It's like waking up and half your heart is missing. You don't know where it is. All that fills that spot is dread and pale vines that seem to wrap you in a numbing chokehold.

Pressure was never the thing I praised it to be. It was all lies. I went on about the writing and potential lore aspects and most of it meant nothing. I defended that game with so much of me when people thought one of the characters was weird.

Our pressure fictives don't really seem to know how to feel either. They don't seem overly concerned about moving on themselves but they're worried they'll be harassed for their names and profile pictures like Val is.

Everything feels like it's crashing down all because of a silly little Roblox game going down in the flames of justice.

I'm going to miss how I perceived it. I'm glad to know the truth, I'm glad I could stop supporting and quit but.

Will project solace ever really do what pressure did for me or is it another piece of writing to desperately cling to the last of my sanity?

All I can focus on now is providing a safe space for others and a safe hyperfixation I guess. I love seeing how it's started to inspire people, how it's changing some of the community.

Though a part of me I don't, I don't know that I'll ever be the same again.

just making sure we are on the same page here

im NOT saying Zeal is a perfect saint but im still taking his side here

edit: mb 4 not linking doc 😭😭

Greetings, fellow vertebrates, I have something to say regarding the pressure situation knowing that my opinion does not matter to anyone and I may get a lot of hate for this.

Edit because I realized I forgot to add this: PLEASE SUPPORT VICTIMS, I really hope both Ren and Zeal are doing ok, and if I'm on the wrong side, I hope that comes to my attention as soon as possible. If Ren is lying, do not use her as an example of a victim, victims need more support, so please, support victims. I'm just giving my personal opinion on the matter, I may be wrong.

Edit 2: I also forgot to mention that I know Zeal is not 100% innocent and neither is Ren, they both seem to be unstable and have their own problems. From what I can tell, Zeal is a terrible boss and is very unprofessional when it comes to his co-workers and other stuff, he's also just a weird guy in general, and Ren is also a mess in this situation. Another thing I've noticed is that the two other documents made by Will and the other person are a bit suspicious, they seem more like they are trying to save their own image rather than actually helping Ren, I believe Will's doc also says things against Ren's case while posing as a Ren defense doc.

Let me just start with I read Ren's document, I saw the screenshots and I saw the photos, I know most of the story from Ren's side that she stated.

I also know Zeal's side, I saw his video, I watched videos, and I have stayed neutral until now.

I am on Zeal's side. I think Ren is lying, and noticed the subtle signs even in her document from the screenshots she was showing and all of the redundant and repeated information. I understand that she may have been stressed by this situation, and she did say not to send death threats or hate towards him, but she proceeded to encourage people who were sending hate and death threats, and she has been awfully quiet since Zeal posted his doc. She avoids talking about the situation in her discord now, and blocks anyone that tries to address the elephant in the room from what I heard.

Obviously everything here is alleged, but even when I was reading Ren's doc, I saw that what she was saying in there and the screenshots didn't exactly line up. She seemed to keep wanting to go along with what they were talking about and doing, and she wasn't really showing any signs of saying no, if she was, I wasn't able to catch it without here screaming "I WASH TEACHING THE MAN WHO ASSAULTED ME HOW TO DO IT AGAIN" Or something like that below the screenshot for the 50th tine. Her signs were so subtle, if they were there at all, and knowing that Zeal has autism, that wouldn't be very easy to notice. I know what the fawning response is, but at some point it stops being a response and starts becoming something that you should be responsible for, otherwise it's not the other person's fault. In Zeal's doc, he showed screenshots that would be pretty hard to fake, she kept asking to do it all again and kept saying how much she enjoyed it, and everything. I was unable to get a hold of his doc, but from I have pieced together from those talking about it that everything was consensual on both sides and this may have been started over a breakup because Ren was being a not great person to Zeal's friends and just unprofessional in the workplace.

Not to mention the attempts on both sides (when Zeal heard about Ren's attempt, he was very supportive and wanted to make sure she was ok), and EVERYBODY was laughing and making fun of Zeal When he attempted, even making memes about it.

Obviously, we have no idea who is in the wrong yet, but I am on Zeal's side for now.

OH forgot to mention, if I got any info wrong, please tell me! I was very sleep deprived when I wrote this, still am, and I may have forgotten something or misinformed, that was never my intention, so if you have anything to add or correct, please do so POLITELY.

To the Pressure community, you people DISGUST ME. The fact you guys were so willing to tear a game you oh so love to bits within the click of a fucking button is insane behavior. We could’ve had so much more from this game if you had just FUCKING WAITED.

Ren, specifically, I have to give her a big, fat, FUCK YOU, because she never wanted to take this to court. She never cared about taking legal action. She just wanted to stir shit up and take away what Zeal had.

Especially the side of the community threatening people who dared to say anything that wasn’t in full, dick and ball cock-slobbering support of Ren. That is EXACTLY why blue didn’t come out with the evidence earlier. Oh, and, the people that LEAKED THE FUCKING GAME FILES. THAT IS YEARS. FUCKING YEARS OF HARD WORK DOWN THE FUCKING DRAIN.

Zeal didn’t fight back at all because by the time he could, the damage was done. Gianni left, so many of the game devs left, all of them left him to fucking rot without even waiting.

How can you guys call yourself fans of this game if you’re willing to rip it to pieces the second someone says anything?

All of you disgusting, dick up the ass pricks, can go fuck yourself.

Oh, and the people that acted like they always waited, knowing damn well they retracted support for Zeal the second anything came out, get the fucking larp of the year rewards holy SHIT.

Fuck all of you.

Their post makes no sense to me.

When you uncomfortable, when you feel weird out by someone, you talk to them and say exactly how you feel and if they don't listen then it's completely other story really, it could be a valid drama and conflict if Zeal actually didn't listen to others comfort preference, but no.

Wil didn't said anything to Zeal privately nor that they actually gave any angry comments regardless of Zeal "pet stuff"

There is nothing that makes Zeal even Slightly look bad in this document, the only bad thing is that he acts not professional to his workers which is actually bad thing to do.

That not how it works at all.
