Yep, just a case of people purposely misusing a strong word to further excuse harassment.

I agree...he should not have responded.This is weird right? Like this interaction specifically? This feels too public? Idk how to put it. Maybe i'm reading something that isn't there.
Specifically the reply, it just feels off. I woulda said things were seeming genuine until this.
"We do not want to be associated with each other."This is weird right? Like this interaction specifically? This feels too public? Idk how to put it. Maybe i'm reading something that isn't there.

Yeah exactly, ok it's not just me that was seeing that was really a weird thing to do."We do not want to be associated with each other."
He proceeds to quote tweet her to bring attention to her.
Also, the stuff with Lawley. He says he didn't groom her and was surprised when she admitted sexual feelings towards him. I don't know, maybe because he groomed a young impressionable teen through puberty? Might not have been intentionally, but "playing" like that will cause things.
Spot on. That's exactly what I was thinking. I don't understand the point of providing more context besides making himself look not as bad because he's upset things were omitted. Like you said, it's understandable but if you're trying to take responsibility and want the focus to be on that, leave that shit out, apologize, and move on.Like even if certain stuff is out of context or you didn't pick up on social cues because you're autistic or you feel betrayed because she came out with this publicly when she said she wouldn't, you don't really need to mention all those things if you're trying to own up to what you did. I understand that it sucks feeling like people are going to judge you without having the full context but sometimes you just gotta own up to what you did wrong and move the fuck on. If you want people leaving the others involved alone, don't try discrediting or downplaying anything they say and don't fucking respond to them publicly in a way that's going to direct attention their way.
Seems like social cues are still a struggle for him. Not much change shown from that alone, in my opinion.
it will always be a struggle. but right now he needs to get off the damn internet cause he's just inviting more harassment. it doesn't really matter how many times he asks not to do it, if you keep picking a wound it never healsSeems like social cues are still a struggle for him. Not much change shown from that alone, in my opinion.
Speaking as someone with mild autism: the social cue part isn't something you just fix, it's something you have to work on consistently like a skill. And I think it's quite obvious that Chugga is very early on that growth journey - IIRC he's basically acknowledged that himself.
So if he's legit about taking that seriously dude needs to log off and go back to that self-healing isolation before he puts his foot in his mouth again.

There's no fixing autism.

Here's Emile's response.

I read both and the main discrepancy is with the wording of his original statement. Saying they had no contact in the original statement while they exchanged a handful of messages between 2010-2021 is painting the picture with too broad of stroke. Ultimately it doesn't change anything though, like he said the intention was to distance himself from her teenage romantic advances after receiving the inappropriate shirt. Being active friends to sending occasional pleasantries every couple years is distancing.
I mean the chat logs prove he distanced himself after receiving the shirt from her. Ultimately his intentions are the most important aspect in question here, and it's pretty clear it wasn't a predatory grooming thing.This is some heavy white washing. Both from your post and Emile.
I think he means come back from getting harassed by internet weirdos. Don't have to look that deep.This whole thing is bleh, and I've muted most of it on Twitter (because I do follow some Xenoblade stuff, and this always gets brought up in conjunction).
But I just want to say, the wording on his last tweet to his former fiancée is so scummy. "I hope you succeed and come back from this"
Come back from WHAT? Besmirching his good name?? She didn't do ANYTHING except say "some of you are asking about him—I don't want to talk about him, we're not associated anymore".
WHAT did she do that she needs to "come back" from??
😒
I think he means come back from getting harassed by internet weirdos. Don't have to look that deep.
Idk it feels like a "bitch eating crackers" situation.It's scummy.
Anyway, that's all from me on this topic, I just wanted to express how yucky i found that post.
That's like cherry picking one part of her post though. Everything stated is correct, and Emile just doesn't need any extra defense right now.

Dude really just needed to lay low and log off. This second wave could have easily been avoided.
Like do we need a video essay series on what happens when you become the Internet's main character of the day? Like what and how people commonly react, think, and feel and how to actually process it all?

I mean I think Emile has a right to defend himself, especially when his livelihood, reputation, and personal relationships are all on the line. He can't control the actions of terrible people and he's done all he's can by prioritizing the denouncing of harassment at every turn.
You can't control the actions of other people and people shouldn't need to keep things to themselves just because some folks can't act right. This pretty much means that past a certain level of popularity you lose any chance to answer or defend yourself against others.
It doesn't matter, his fan base has already rallied behind him again. They're telling Lawley to stop responding so he can get the last word in and be right.Geez Emile should've really just stopped talking on Twitter, he is not doing himself any favors at all. But I guess he doesn't understand that clearly.
Someone on Reddit compiled a google docs of Chuggaa and Emily's chatlogs, and put them in order.
Emily herself is in the comments of that post, too.
Was that part of his earlier defense or his most recent statement? In his most recent statement he said that he thought he could separate his interest in feet from his fetish, and has only since realized that he can't.I'm reading through the doc now and I hadn't caught some of the stuff he said in his defense before.
"I've made jokes about feet and bought shoes for most of my friends", like. Dude. If you know you have a fetish why are you letting that get anywhere near your friendships? You can't see how that might twist those interactions and gifts?
I looked for Emily's responses. I think this is important:
I have no idea tbh. I keep going back and forth on it. Right now I'm just trying to lay low. I deleted Twitter off my phone and am trying to stay offline as much as possible because it's just… it's just been a lot if I'm quite honest. And I don't know what else I can say beyond what's already clear, and quite frankly I'm tired and I'm afraid of anything else happening to me and my family. The only thing tempting me into making a response is the weird false accusations that I doxxed people, because not only is that demonstrably untrue, but considering I was actually doxxed and all my personal information was actually placed online, I find it incredibly insulting to have it turned on me. But more than anything, I just want this to be over.
She also knows that his fans won't change their opinion.I looked for Emily's responses. I think this is important:
So we probably shouldn't ask for or expect any further replies from her.
You're 100% right. That's something I've had to internalize these late few months. The people who dislike me will always dislike me and there's no arguing or evidence that can change that and that's just how it is. Best I can do is just try to be safe and do what good I can going forward
