this blog is so inactive but just wanted to be clear in case anybody I know stumbles across this blog:
I have talked about this a little in tags previously but I no longer support and condemn the actions of sjin, turps, and caff, and I have not supported them since learning of their actions as manipulative abusers
there is abuse rampant in the gaming/entertainment industry and it is sickening to learn but Important
though it may be hard to learn a favourite content creator is a terrible person, liking their content is not a reason or excuse to be suspicious of victims stories
Take Victims Seriously.
no matter how ‘likeable’ on screen someone is, as a community we should not be supporting such heinous acts, and I hope people who are still defending abusers or are ‘on the fence’ realise that
Educate Yourself About The People You Support.
wilful ignorance is not an excuse.
as for why I decided to make this post: I have posted in the past in support of these individuals PLEASE KNOW that is (what I hope is evidently) not my stance anymore. and if similar actions were/are taken by yogs in the future, I would not/do not support them either.
turps and sjin in particular were members of the yogscast I loved, which is evident in the amount I posted as well as the nature of the posts about them, please do not construe these posts as current support if they appear on any yog-related tags
additionally I have recently seen some evidence on reddit of madcat’s character (namely sexist and creepy behaviour in discord) and defense (of sjin especially) which I am deeply unsettled by and have discontinued by support for his channel - I cannot recall if I’ve ever mentioned madcat on this blog but goes without saying, if I have previously promoted his videos, I no longer stand by that support
I know that most likely nobody will read this since my blog is so dead but I just wanted to make my opinions abundantly clear to anybody who may find this sideblog
thank you for reading and I cannot stress enough how much I feel for the countless victims (spoken and unspoken) in these circumstances
I hope everyone affected can find peace and happiness despite all that people have gone through
