Yup. Got it. Well, I still stand by what I said with them acting this way on twitter (attacking others and what not) but that about sums things up.
He appears to be grooming younger boys who are not sure about their sexuality.... Has he only dated 16 year olds?? Yikes...
I guess I have nothing more to question here. I feel bad for them and I hope they learned from it not to trust people online. I know Shady Penguin has "shady" in his name but maybe Nappy should have coined that first.
Thanks for pointing this out to me because I didn't actually see this one and it has the most proof.
I think differently about the victims coming out. From what I can tell, it has taken a toll on a lot of them in the years since it had happened and realistically, trying to solve it privately would not have got anywhere. If anything, it's sort of empowered other people like Gabe to speak out and as Nappy's done that behaviour, not once, but multiple times and consistently, it is maybe the only way which will get him to stop and his fans should know because they are helping support him and that kind of behaviour. Maybe they were a bit more vicious than they should be, but it's been years of fear bottled up and putting myself in their shoes, if I'd experience what they did, I would have possibly done the same. Plus I think this finally gives the people he manipulated/took advantage of the support and stress relief they need to have closure.
I'm subbed to GameboyLuke on Twitch, I watched his stuff before this. I watched Nappy, and I watched a lot of people's content at one point or another of those involved. I know who I'll watch and continue to watch, but in the end, we all have our opinions and thoughts. I've talked to a friend who is a Pokemon Fan over the past few days and we kind of agree. For me, seeing that Nappy really... didn't have a proper defence and Luke, Callum, TrickyWii (she also had a lot of evidence posted online, well as much as she could dig up from an old computer and Skype from 2015), and now Gabe, found as much evidence as they could when called out on lying to try to say their experiences happened... I can tell that they did their damndest to get what they saw as the truth out... Maybe caught up in the moment, but after what they experienced, I don't blame them.
But, while this may have shaken the Pokemon Community to its knees, it'll come out stronger than before. A lot of PokeTubers seem closer now either through experiencing something similar with Nappy or elsewhere in their lives, or just realizing we all are humans. Plus by the time SwSh (pronounced Swish) come out, we'll all be in the hype just enjoying the game we love again.
