Hi everyone. there have been a lot of people still asking me about where i stand on the supermega situation after i deleted my initial statement. i followed that video up at the intro of a video from 3 weeks ago, but a lot of people didn’t see it, and i want to further clarify how i feel after taking some time to reflect on it.
i initially responded with anger when concerns were raised about my coverage of the story because i believed that these criticisms were coming in bad faith from audiences of creators that have harassed me in the past. after reading messages from people in my community who have legitimate and valid concerns about my stance on the situation, i now realize that there are a lot of real criticisms about the videos i made that are sincere and point out where i seriously mishandled my coverage and reaction to the story. my responses minimized and discredited a lot of my viewers’ concerns, and i was immature with how i reacted.
given the seriousness of these topics, i should have taken much more care with the titles, the content, and even the way i edited these videos. i regret the eagerness i had to insult matt and ryan in the story in ways that were unnecessary and careless, and for including details about them that were unrelated to lex’s assault. regardless of whether or not these details were talked about in lex’s video, i should have been much more careful about the way i presented them, and i am sorry for that.
i was trying to help a friend, but i was stubborn and emotional instead of taking the proper time to hear how i could have done better from people who were rightfully concerned. i wrongfully gave more value to the opinions of those who agreed with me over those who were holding me accountable for valid reasons and that is something that i deeply regret. i should have supported the victim without getting directly involved. but instead, by choosing to cover a sensitive story that involved people that i was close to, the outcome of my actions hurt all of the parties involved.
i regret the way i approached reporting on such a serious topic, and i apologize to any victims of sexual assault that i’ve disappointed. i also want to apologize to those who support me and watch my content for how this has been handled. this experience has opened my eyes to what my priorities are as a content creator and i am dedicated to thinking more deeply about how i use my platform and the way i communicate with my audience. i have a lot of growth that needs to be done as a content creator and person.
lastly, i want to apologize for how this has affected those who are not involved at all in this situation, but have associated with me and made content with me. I feel awful that my actions have caused people to stop supporting people who have absolutely nothing to do with the situation, solely because they are my friends or loved ones. please don’t let how I handled this situation reflect those who are in my personal life.
