I found it in his subreddit, which linked to the tweet in question. This is all very recent.
There we go. Wasn’t looking everywhere.

From what the people there are saying, it appears to be one sided for now (and confined to one post), specifically one sided to make Emile look like the antagonist. I think the best thing to do is wait and see what happens and if any sort of statement is made.

Like Male Happiny, Chancey and Blissys should ****ing exsist.
Fun fact: According to the Pokedex book from 1996, male Kangaskhan is supposed to be a thing.

They need to retcon the whole line's deal already. Males and females with significant differences have been a thing since Gen 6 (arguably 1 with Nidoran, but you know what I mean), and the baby in its pouch should've been an obvious choice when...uh...baby Pokemon were introduced.

Yeah, I haven't seen much information on the Chuggaaconroy situation outside of here, but this is way too early to be calling it.

We've had a lot of big Youtubers who turned out to be ****ty people, but a lot of big people on Youtube have been hit with false accusations as well. I need to see more information on this, but going off of previous situations like this, I still think we're gonna need to hear from both sides before the truth becomes apparent.

I have seen this before; there is that Youtuber, JonTron, who was said to be a good Youtuber until he said racist things. That said, it turned some away from him, but yet some people still defend him and would watch his videos, saying things like he is not racist.

Either way, it goes to show one thing. Not to insult, but some fans do not have a will of their own or they ability to think on their own. They just follow others without question. It is so sad.

I don't think it's that as much as they are simply too attached to those creators to really let go of them. Admitting that they're problenatic would be equivalent to admitting that them enjoying their videos a moral failure and they're too proud for that.

I watched Jontron for a few years even after the racism debacle because he was my favorite YouTuber. I don't watch him anymore and I'm against supporting him, but I can understand why it's hard to let go.

I forgot about that. Thanks for the explanation. It is hard to let go, but in the end, the reality must be faced, and if it is not faced, well...it is complicated, but it won't end well for the person not letting go.

The same can be said for Tara Strong, who we all should know about by now. That said, she has said terrible things. She even got a kid with Covid killed by telling the kid's mother to use alternative medicine other than the Covid vaccine. Yet fans still cling onto her like she did nothing wrong. It can be amazing how much people can't let go. Either way, not letting go and all, I can't say it is going to be good for them if they don't, mentally speaking.

I say always believe victims, but also wait for both sides to tell their story.

Call me jaded, but as someone who feels like they've been though this rodeo time and time again, it doesn't even phase me when "YouTuber outed for creepy ****".

It's almost expected eventually.

I mean I get it, especially with Nintendotubers and getting their nonconsenting fanbase involved with their fetish, a story as old as time.

Oh and more details are coming out too so that better be a state of the union Chugga's making.

Honestly same, I feel absolutely nothing. Even when we got The Completionist drama recently I felt very little, I just unsubscribed from his channel. And as I alluded to before, he was the last pillar of my younger years' YouTube heroes, so it's not nothing.

With Chugaacornroy I never really got into his videos, so I feel even less on that situation.

Will say it suck quite badly to come back to...this.

I have seen situation where youtuber were proven to be awful human being and others were they were proven innocents, but I won't lie when the former as proven to be more likely than the latter.

I want more info on the situation before I make a call on what I do about chugga. I stopped watching his videos for a while, mostly cuz his current LP wasn't for me, so I feel I shouldn't be affected very much by this....but it's sadly not that simple as he's still someone who helped discover plenty of games and his stories about his early life resonated more or less with me as I am autistic (more precisely I have dyspraxia). What he has done is pretty damn bad, and I don't want to make excuses for him. Being on the spectrum or having stories of abuse doesn't mean you can't do bad things period. There's a part of responsibility on you when you treat other badly, especially when you are a adult and even more when you have a BIG, long-lasting fanbase that you can't deny.

Really, I just need more time to process all of this, both mentally and feeling wise.

I am also a bit jaded when it comes to people on the internet being horrible people, at this point I just get disappointed, unsubscribe, unfollow or whatever and remain numb

But also expecting people to do bad things or wanting people to do bad things isn't a healthy mindset either

I wish we lived in a better world where images like this weren't so common when stuff like this happen.

At this point, if someone who is considered “famous” in some way is trending, always assume something not good is coming out of it.

How many times have we gone through this song and dance?
I understand this mindset but I feel it's important to have faith in humanity. Just don't put people on pedestals

Yeah that is true. It just feels like any time news of someone comes out it is always negative.

I agree that putting people on pedestals is not a good idea. Especially since if news comes out it can hit harder.

I mean there's no reason to call out someone if they're a good, well adjusted person unless they did something awesome that deserves recognition. And most Youtubers are just that; good, well adjusted people with normal lives.

He’s about to sell his son to Freeza like he did to Cell after getting his ass beat in the last arc
I wouldn’t be surprised if Goku had Gohan finish the job

Before I go to sleep and on a different note. If you're a Doom nerd who's super into the franchise, especially the classic. Then I recommend checking out this gameplay mod that just got a update. Take lots of elements from what's know as the Doom Bible (yes it's name is real), which contained various ideas for the game story and world before they were scrapped to the much, much simpler lore/story that we got. Alongside reusing other beta elements like lost soul first design. All on top of new weapons, 4 differents classes with their own strength & weakness and alot more that you should look for yourself by watching the trailer and then go on the website in the description. Trust me, if you love Doom, ya gotta love this.

Whatever it is, those newer to the world and at a younger age will probably add to us going through this song and dance, since those people always keep coming.

I got plenty of faith in humanity

It's just that this kinda thing keeps happening. People either get too big for their own good or the people who shouldn't have an audience get one, and they let it get to their head thinking they're invincible.


After awhile, the shock of "Youtuber was actually a creep for years" dulls on ya.

Doom Bible (yes it's name is real)
"Pitch Bible" is already a common term in the entertainment industry anyway, regardless if a work contains biblical locations.

Might check it out, but I rarely touch GZDoom except for maps that require it, like Doom 64 ports

That is true - the Sonic Bible come to mind - but it's just really funny to see/hear "Doom Bible" in particular.

Also the website has a few wads to recommend trying the mod with. If you give it a shot, hope you have lots of fun with both mods!

I have one thought about My Life as a Teenage Robot so far. Can she grow up? Like, will her AI mature into adult stages and will her body be able to be enhanced into “older” forms? Cause being stuck as a teenager until your parts give out like an old refrigerator sounds like hell.

She's clearly an AI capable of learning, growing, feeling, and experiencing. I bet she'd achieve a level of maturity on her own.

As for her body, she can probably ask her mom for a post-adolescence upgrade.
