Scott the Woz invites known abuser & rapist RelaxAlax to cameo in his "Borderlines Forever" video despite being warned about him prior

[Neoxon]

Spoiler: I won't link the video here, but I will post a screenshot of the shithead in question from the video

A while back, it came to light that RelaxAlax abused & raped his ex-girlfriend Bobdunga, as well as emotionally abusing others. Check the threads below for more information on those allegations.

There are also Discord messages regarding their interactions post-assault, which are linked in the actual quote below. You can find this in the Twitlong, but as a brief TLDR; the first time it was brought to my attention that I had sex with Alex, was while we were in the car a few weeks later...

Bobdunga brings forth recent developments in the allegations against RelaxAlax (Alax tried to send an illegitimate libel notice to delete her story)

I'm posting this on Bobdunga's behalf & with her permission. But these are very much her words (see below for proof), I'm just the messenger. A few hours before posting his video, my abuser sent me a libel notice as an attempt to get me to delete my story. If I had panicked right there, and...

The allegations unfortunately went under the rug until the mass outing of shitheads in the Smash community last year, leading to a number of big name content creators rightfully cutting ties with RelaxAlax (Alpharad, Did You Know Gaming, Source Gaming, PushDustIn, & the folks who now make up Good Vibes Gaming to name a few). Alex did try to manipulate evidence in his favor & gaslight Bobdunga in a video aimed to "clear" him, but it was deleted before he could be called out on it (with the justification that he wants to "move on"). However, despite all of this, Scott the Woz invited RelaxAlax to be in his recent 200th episode. While yes, it was one of a bunch of cameos, the fact that he was in the video at all is disappointing. And while one could argue that maybe Scott wasn't aware of the allegations, Bobdunga confirmed that she warned Scott about Alex prior to the video's creation.

It should be noted that Scott's DMs are only available to those he follows, so Scott & Bobdunga did follow each other a few months ago. But as you can check now, this is no longer the case, creating the troubling implication that Scott blatantly ignored & unfollowed Bobdunga when she tried to warn him about Alex. The reason I didn't create a thread on this until now is because I was waiting to see if Scott would comment on the situation & try to make things right. And sadly, that has yet to happen. Other YouTubers, including one who also made a cameo in Scott's video (Tama Hero), did comment on the situation.

Hi there. My name is Liam. I'm one of the people you referenced in your post. Firstly, thanks for speaking up on this. I agree with most everything you said. I will just note that I have never worked directly with Scott or Alex and I do not know Scott personally. I have briefly interacted with Alex over the years but not on any professional level. We were mutuals on Twitter and I unfollowed him after the allegations began to surface, which I totally believe and have always done for my own reasons.

Here's something that I think is important to add. Raven isn't the only person to speak up on Alex. A Smash player named Aurum also shared a pretty disconcerting interaction he had with Alex last year. It's further indicative of how Alex is privately.

I am limited to what I can say about this because it's a very sensitive situation and I have friends involved who have interacted with these people. I think I am okay to say this though: it's likely considerably worse than what you are imagining. These people are not their YouTube personas. I have heard some very concerning first hand accounts that I can't get into but they upset me very much. Please be careful with who you idolise online. You don't know these people.

This is all very disappointing to see Scott the Woz do, especially considering the irony of Scott claiming to support Black Lives Matter while also not believing Black women regarding their abusers.

I heard about the allegations a long time ago and surprised to see that he's not only still making videos but that YouTube is also recommending those videos to me, how the hell did this jackass manage to stay unaffected ?

Weren't these allegations disproven at some point? I remember I was disgusted by all of this and looking back at it a year later there were some statements about it that made me think "well, I guess he's just an asshole?" about him? (I think it's clear to see I'm massively out of the loop about this again)

Nope, that was wrong. Hope Scott adresses this.

As noted in the OP, RelaxAlax "disproving" the allegations ultimately added up to him manipulating evidence in his favor & gaslighting Bobdunga. The video was deleted under the guise of him wanting to "move on" before anyone could call Alex out on it.

I see. I've stayed away from his content after these original allegations came out so it's hard to piece everything together, just want to clarify I at no point didn't believe this but I forgot most of this so my "general view" was pretty neutral. I hope Scott does something about this.

hell his account on twitter specifically got hacked since he barely uses it and didnt want to put 2FA up

Scott never came accross as a bad person from what I watched before (though it was tiresome just how many games he just straight up does not like for seemingly petty reasons). Always gotta be ready with that unsubscribe button with youtubers though.

In my (albeit limited) experience it doesn't matter most of the time. If an abuser gets their claws into someone and befriends them before the allegations reach that person then it's an uphill battle you probably won't win. Someone could be the most outspoken person on sexual abuse in the universe but if you tell them one of their friends is a piece of shit it's still a gamble whether they'll actually believe it.

 

[oreomunsta]

This is disappointing to hear that other big name gaming YouTubers are giving that asshole a spotlight, still :/ made all the worse that Bobdunga made the effort to reach out and wasn't listened to

Thanks for sharing this, Neoxon! I don't watch Scott, but know that a lot of people tuned in for his 200th episode

Yep, and in this situation we're talking about a second cameo in a video that has over 100+ cameos from various youtubers. Almost none of them have spoken out about Scott having Alex make a cameo, many of which are still promoting the video they appeared in. When places like channel awesome/nostalgia critic and Mangs get accused of far worse, go away for a month, and still have a career, it's hard to imagine anything really happening to Scott because of this Alex cameo.

You could argue that content creators like Good Vibes Gaming, Arlo, and anyone else who appeared in the video should all be unsubscribed to until they speak out about this on social media and pressure Scott into making a statement. It's been over a week and honestly if it wasn't for Neoxon banging the drum I doubt 99% of people who appeared in the video or watched it would have noticed Alex was in the video, known about his transgressions, or cared that Scott gave him a cameo. Much like Mike Matei's racist comics having virtually no impact on James Rolfe's career, I doubt this Alex cameo will have any impact on Scott's.

The fact that one of the other content creators who made a cameo in the video spoke out shows that the others weren’t aware until after the fact. Even Bobdunga doesn’t fault the others who appeared in the video.

This is 100% on Scott & Scott alone. The fact that he was explicitly warned about Alex prior & ignored said warning only makes matters worse.

I'm not saying the other content producers are at fault for making the original cameo, but it's been a week and they all have to had heard by now and could make a statement publicly (or privately) to distance themselves from it. The fact so many of them have remained silent is the issue.

I agree with the sentiment of wanting other content creators to push back on Scott and challenge him on why Bobdunga
went ignored, but I don't agree with punishing others for Scott's decisions here as I don't believe he would have shared the list of everyone involved in the video

 

[CoolAssGoat]

Welp, there goes my milkshake duck. I like Scott, been a follower since 2017, but let's hope he addresses this somehow because otherwise I'm done with him.

 

[Jahranimo]

He still hasn't said anything, well guess I'm unsubscribing. Funny, after unsubbing to JonTron and later RelaxAlax over the years, this type of thing gets easier and easier to do.

Disappointing and hoped he wouldn't be one of those that just turns the other cheek against everything Alax has done. No tolerance, too old for this shit.

 

[Marmoka]

I watched the video last week and saw many youtubers there. I thought it was something great and curious. But I didn't know there was a rapist between those youtubers. This is disappointing as hell.

From all the youtubers there, I missed the presence of Jim Stephanie Sterling. I don't know if they have any relation with other youtubers.

There were so many other YouTubers he could’ve included rather than RelaxAlax. On top of Jim Stephanie Sterling, there’s also Maximilian, Bobdunga, Alpharad, Ignant Rizzy, & Kang Gaming to name a few.

 

[Lady Bow]

Thank you for bringing this to light Neoxon. I could see wanting a statement from Scott to "clear things up" but knowing he knowingly let a rapist cameo on his special 200th video against the warning from his peers is despicable.

 

[CerealBro1]

Damn, Scott the Woz is pretty much the only gaming YouTube guy I watch, and it’s incredibly fucked up that he gave a platform to a known rapist/sexual predator and seemingly unfollowed the woman making the allegations. Really disgusting that he decided to just include that cameo despite knowing…


Then again, I shouldn’t really be surprised about it all either, he always gave off weird vibes to me. I just hope that SSFF remains a publicly respectful guy because otherwise that would really suck

 

[Truno]

Scott could easily issue a statement and remove said person from the video. Super disappointing that he seems to be ignoring the issue and pleas from victims. Even more despicable that he was contacted directly by a victim and he seemingly doubled-down by unfollowing them. He should be held accountable by all of the parties that were featured in the celebration for being placed in a video with a known abuser/rapist (presumably without their consent as previously mentioned)

Super informative and important post OP, keep it up

 

[Gacha Santa Alter]

Only know the two people in question by name, but wasn't this Scott guy supposed to be well-liked even on ERA? I get the feeling his name was dropped frequently when people mentioned positive creators. Milkshake Duck gets everyone in the end it seems, it's a bloody shame.

 

[Paroni]

By a quick look into Twitter it indeed seems like general public just either doesn't know about allegations against RelaxAlax and some those who knew were under impression that he really had "cleared his name" back then. That's a conclusion they probably made because he just stuck around instead of going away, which he could do not because he's innocent, but because bigger attention wasn't directed at him.

You also have just as many who are holding RelaxAlax accountable, in addition to the content creators I already mentioned who cut ties with him prior.

 

[FormatCompatible]

Pretty disappointing to see Scott turn out to be so shitty as to ignore the direct warnings of one of the victims. Regardless if he eventually decides to comment on it the fact that he continued to side with the abuser for so long even after everything shows to me what he truly thinks about this situation, everything after will just feel like him trying to save face imo.

 

[Seafoam Gaming]

Click to shrink...

That was mainly due to weirdos hijacking Etika's reddit with Scott's name and to the point it was unavoidable and would make him seem like he supported it so he stopped it at the core. That's completely different. He's actually done more on his reddit to call out and condemn whenever people go too far with things (like how someone tried to find his friends' addresses on his own subreddit, and then his dad's address, leading him to getting pretty upset and having to tell the mod to take more aggressive action), than on his twitter. He's just really not a social media person and Jon from Nintendolife has talked to him on discord a bunch for other things, so I have no doubt close folk like him have already spoken to him about this in private. Especially the GVG folk who distanced themselves from Alax.

As someone who also tries to avoid conflict when possible I sadly can see why Scott just doesn't want to do anything public and wants to stick to private for anything that may change from this. (Especially when Alax's fans are so aggressively defensive of anything he does and that they instantly forgave him for being a sex pest, which INFURIATES ME TO NO END as it's the same shit people did with Projared after he came back and did a lame "apology".)

Though for the record, Scott did totally ignore Alax in the RPG video, not even crediting him for the season like for the previous three, which makes me at least hopeful he just didn't want anything to do with it until he pretty much was in a bind for this episode. Hate to say, but don't forget that Alax is pretty horrid in all this too for likely using his clout to get in the vid to begin with and for easily convincing his fans that his crappy apology fully cleared him (When it didn't in the slightest and he quietly erased it and acted like nothing happened).

An easy fix would have been for Scott to wear the overlord costume himself and just not take his hood off like how in the Behind the Scenes for awesome baby, it was actually scott wearing it. That way the character could have still been in the video but not alax himself. But yeah it's a very murky situation and not at all one that's easy to resolve for someone who just avoids the internet in general, especially with how aggressive the backlash is towards people simply commenting being upset over the cameo in the replies. :| Scott completely dismissing raven for Alax is a huge low blow no matter what and shows just how powerful people with huge clout can be and is easily the worst part of all this, so I hope at least people upset about this will support Raven's upcoming Lost Games documentary, since it's pretty promising and her first was amazing.

Yeah I agree, it's absolutely petty to unsub from anyone cameoing in the video, especially since they had zero idea on who else would be in the video to begin with, as proven by Tama being upset when she saw Alax despite submitting a cameo. Don't take it out on them. Or the artists he commissioned. Or the random people he picked for the video who submitted cameos. (though I will say, it's irritating to see that for those submitted cameos, a lot of them are from folks with lots of followers that Scott has already interacted with, which makes me feel cheated for even bothering to throw my own together...)

Post should have "accused" and not "known" in the title. Because neither those who believe Bobdunga or those who believe Alax actually know

Scott is signaling he believes Alax is not a rapist. Well, it's also possible Scott wants to support a person he believes is a rapist, but I find that unlikely.
