It seems like it's going to be essentially everyone except his girlfriend and kind of Tim to an extent that are out his life.

Nintendo Youtuber Chuggaaconroy accused of sexual harassment & grooming
- Thread starter --R
- Start date
I want to ask, can I have a link to where you learn about this? I originally asked in my "His career is over post" but, when I saw WatchTower's reddit link, I thought it was about that and so I quickly edited it out of the message I just sent. So, if it can't be posted here, can you send me a link (or more) via PM? Cheers.
Anyway, while his career is over and that I definitely against everything Chuggaa has done to his victims, I don't think his life should end because of that. It'd definitely be hard to build his life again though, no doubt. But suicide is never an option.
EDIT: Yes, I read NCS' reaction and small twitter thread. I feel that development came after that.
EDIT 2: corrected terminology.

Really hope Tim can get the fuck out of this situation cleanly.

This is freaking wild. This is so so clearly an open and shut case to imho, but I saw this trending on Twitter, and I just cannot fathom how people can defend the most abhorrent things in a parasocial relationship.
There seems to be a significant cacophony of victim blaming/shaming/denial.

No matter what happens, there's always some assholes who will take the worst possible position, if for no other reason than because of contrarianism.This is freaking wild.

Also a whole bunch of people on Twitter are openly pedophiles. Like I barely use Twitter myself except to follow updates on a gacha game I play or check out things that people post, but I still saw a user a day or two ago when looking at some Palworld misinformation whose whole account was about hating socialism and also how he was a lolicon.
I mean, that's who Elon has been courting. The worst dregs of society. That includes open pedos.
Yeah I mean it's clearly not worth reporting anything. And most of these people have blue checkmarks, they aren't going to mess with their awful subscriber base.
Still though, Chuggaaconroy's defenders are really fired up in the grossest way.
I love these guys are so obsessed with not holdding him accountable to anything that they're ignoring his requests not to bother/disparage Emily.This is freaking wild.

He mentions he had a "pedocrush" on her and he sarts talking about her being lolli.
People will stand up and swear loyalty to a guy behind a screen who the majority have never met, because they can't possibly fathom the motion that the beloved internet celebrity they idolise isn't a good person.This is freaking wild.

It's the same shit with Vic Mignogna having a defense force. It doesn't matter to their diehard fans how many victims come forward, or the nature of the allegations, in their mind they MUST be a good person with zero flaws, because admitting otherwise would mean admitting they are wrong. And no one likes to admit that they're wrong.
That is gross, you can't defend that. like ain't no way

And yet here we are.
After reading the above I don't think I can associate with anybody who still wants to support him or use that hash tag, that is beyond the pale.

Jesus christ, that hashtag.
100 percent agree
It's not even like Chugga has denied anything, how is there a defense force at this point in the story?
Take your pick:
1. Fans who really can't shake it out of their heads that the guy they watch in videos is not the true side of the guy they never even met in real life. That or they just want their entertainment back.
2. Kids/Teens who haven't learned yet why all these things are bad.
3. Blue checkmarks that are the kind of people Musk wants to cultivate on Twitter, enabling the lowest of the low to stand for a harasser/groomer with their visibility reaching the top.
So... I actually read the entire chatlog and I do regret saying this. I admit I only skimmed the logs the first time and I only saw Chugga not being able to respond to a weird sexual minor fan he just wanted to be friends with. Actually reading the chat logs and...wow. He initiates explicit erp with her several times, like it's impossible to deny he had some sexual fantasies over this frienship, and it's incredibly fucked up.
I retract what I said. As someone who never liked his videos, I do still hope Chugga manages to solve his issues interacting with women and fans, but he really shouldn't have a platform to interact with children after having this come out.
Way back in 1998, when I co-ran a gaming news and reviews site with an active IRC channel and forum attached to it, writers from our friendly rival site gathered to attend E3. One of the writers from that site met up with and ended up in a secret relationship with the 14 year old sister of another of their writers, they had frequently interacted in our IRC channel, and kept that secret until she turned 18 and they married. He must have been at least 20 when they met. We were all shocked when we found out. I don't know what happened with them in the end, since I've been out of that whole circle for 20+ years now.
To add onto that, her brother became a registered sex offender a few years later for crossing state lines to interact with a minor.
These parasocial relationships in the gaming sphere have always been a shitfest. :/
At this point anybody who's still defending Chugga despite everything is just against men being held accountable period.
It's a scooby doo villain mask away from admitting that the victims are lesser than their abuser and thus not worth having a voice.
Been a part of communities where this kinda stuff has happened with site mods, admins, etc. Even users dating or talking to underaged users in...gross ways. The most I seen these spaces do were let that mod/admin go, and then ban them from the community for safety. Same with users who do this kinda stuff. So common in gaming and even anime, manga, and similar spheres.
An update from Tim/NCS.
It wasn't a suicide attempt, though it sounds like he called the hotline.
He's removing various videos featuring him, and removing Twitch alerts featuring Emile.

While he might have fans defending him (ugh)
His career is pretty much over. You can't come back from grooming children, ever. It's such a publicly toxic thing that anyone collaborating with him or associating with him risks hurting themselves so he'd be on his own, also his comments and socials are going to be fire pits from hell so no brand will ever want to do anything with him.
But yeah, he'll have gross fans defend him for a few days.

Yup, his career is done. He's done-zo, no more. No one can come back from grooming kids. I think he will end up doing a final send off video, and then leaving the Internet completely much like Cryaotic and similar.
Update from NCS aka Tim
Stomach ulcers are typically caused by H. pylori so it's not surprising they precede all this. Anyhow, I agree with Vonocourt, there is no need to go so indepth into his state, if he himself wants to let us know what happened, he can do so once he is feeling better later, but I don't think it's for his friend to tell. None of this changes the damage he caused and the possible consequences coming his way though.
Chugga (new) response
New
Mega response update, and he reveals that and him and Mesae were engaged and with eachother for a decade.

Agreed though i am not sure if this is going to ultimately fix his reputation or at the very least if he will go back to making lets plays again
Happy for this bump since I missed ProtonJon's statement before. Happy to here Colosseum is still continuing since as a charity event it raises lots of money for direct relief.
Based on what he said here, its going to be a while before he's willing to go play to LPs (maybe even years)
While I'm not doubting what Chugs is saying and do believe things are probably somewhat complex, I always trust women more than man in situations like these, and CHugs was asking for shoe pictures from his young fans which is at least engaging them in fetish stuff I should remind you.
What is it with people always caping for mediocre white guys

i do have some opinions on this, but i wouldn't recommend anyone who has trouble with heavy topics to read that statement.
as someone on the spectrum too, i empathize with many of the things he's addressing here. it seems they brought the issue to him, and he seemed to have worked on it before all this blew over. it's important to recognize that there a line was crossed and work had to be done, friends and professionals can help you do that when you miss the cues sometimes.
i wasn't aware of the other stuff cause i wasn't following but everyone was a mess 15 years ago.
it's complex stuff and it kinda sucks that it's all laid bare on the internet for everyone involved.
and sorry if i got any word wrong, i don't usually talk about this online, specially in english.

This strikes me the best statement I've seen so far after a public accusation; besides providing evidence against components of the accusation, he acknowledges where he had issues, and he does outline things he's doing different going forward. It does read to me as a little accusatory itself, but I can't expect him to be unemotional or to say everything perfectly, so I don't feel the urge to focus on it. Maybe that's just part of how he's feeling right now.
Ultimately it's not my place to forgive him since I'm not the one affected, but my gut inclination before seeing any responses to it is that it's genuine, and I don't feel the desire to pursue it any further. There's a visible shift in how he describes his roleplaying behaviour between this statement and how he was describing it previously, which seems particularly notable.
I don't think he's owed a full comeback and the way he describes it makes it feel like he may not want a comeback, but if he actually is serious about changing going forward and has taken action to do so, I hope that he's able to find some comfort in his future as well in whatever form that has to take.
Seems like a dude desperate to do better.
At the end of the day, people need the space to improve themselves.
Can't say I'll really watch his videos ever again, but it seems dude is really committed to doing better.

Lady Emily comes out looking really bad out of all of this. She deliberately lied, published misleadingly message histories with blatant omissions. I don't really understand it when he had the receipts to prove all of this.
I'm also having trouble understanding that a bit.
