I know that I was supposed to make an articolo on the movie Clerks, but after the amount of what I have read today, within such a short span of time, I feel that I have to make this article. And despite the titolo that isn’t really all that funny, I choose not to make jokes with this. I don’t want to add any funny images, as much as I enjoy that. This is an articolo that contains serious subjects and is a real problem with the modern culture. On August 27th, 2019, ProJared released a video discussing the drama he was in. For those that don’t know, ProJared was a gaming Youtuber who made reviews on video games, mostly RPGs. te may have heard about ProJared from his scandal involving cheating on his wife, making lewd commenti on people, and sending nudes to his fans, some of which were detto to be underaged. These are false. ProJared did send nudes, but only to those willing. He was divorced from his wife, o already agreed to, da the time he sent nudes, and he did not intend to send nudes to underaged minors, some of them having lied about their age. Do I agree with ProJared sending nudes in the first place? No. A content creator, of any kind, should never, ever, ever send their nudes to people online. Even if they ask, there is nothing stopping these people from using those pictures in a way that leaves the creator ruined in some way. It’s a foolish mistake that no one should do for any reason. That being said, accusing ProJared of pedophilia over this is manipulation and has done nothing but make his life worse and possibly ruined his Youtube career. Despite all that, there are people who still disagree with him and call him a cheating pervert. And I will admit, I was one such person. I was a fan of ProJared throughout high school. I loved his video and his sense of humor. He was just a dorky guy but he had charm and despite that, he made it da just doing what he loved. And when I heard about this, I felt betrayed da him, that he would do this to his wife and to the community. But once all this came to light, it all became clear just how atrocious cancella Culture really is, and I fell for it.
ProJared is far from the first to be roped into this. Hell, he isn’t even the most recente example. But he is the most recente that caused such an uproar in the community that it left people confused and disgusted throughout Youtube and Twitter. CancelCulture has been around for a long time, even before Youtube. Ladies and gentleman, celebrity media, a total mockery of journalism. It seems that news channels, ones like TMZ, are so thirsty to get some steamy hits on celebritàs that they will run after them for anything. People always go around talking about how celebritàs have it easy, and while I can certainly see why, having to deal with people running up to te on a daily basis with cameras and microphones must be a big pain in the ass. One important figure would be Michael Jackson, famous pop stella, star who was accused of pedophilia. Ever since, he was mocked as a child molester and ridiculed until the giorno he died, and even then, people kept making it. But as of late, three guys, three people who are quite the despicable bunch, created a documentary called Leaving Neverland, which was all about discussing why Michael Jackson was a pedophile from the words of “witnesses” themselves. The documentary garnered a lot of attention, resulting in radio stations pulling Michael Jackson’s Musica off stations and volpe even removing the episode of The Simpsons that featured Michael Jackson from airing. Even though the creator of the documentary has been Friends with Michael, which te would think would give him far più insight on the matter più than anyone, but the guy has been proven to change his commenti daily, even within the same documentary, before claiming that he imagined his own child getting molested, resulting in him calling Michael Jackson an abuser… mmm hmm. The guy has been called an opportunist on several occasions, hoping to garner attention that he had since Lost for little to no reason. He’s been called out da several celebrities, including comedian Dave Chapelle and rapper Snoop Dogg. Now this is a scandal that has gone on for over a decade, and while I do believe Michael Jackson was losing his sanity in his last years, I don’t believe he was a molester. I never saw it like that and the fact that this man who is an opportunist and is willing to take the chance at bringing up a scandal of a dead man is just sickening.
Another controversy that came not even shortly after ProJared’s scandal was the controversy of Slazo, a Youtuber who was Friends with ImAllexx, who, along with a few other Friends of his, accused Slazo of being a rapist who would rape women and as a result, was made into a criminal. But soon after, ImAllexx was found out for not only being a liar, but had made up the entire scandal with his Friends in privacy, having full intent of framing Slazo as a rapist. Once it was found, ImAllexx, instead of apologizing, made himself look like a victim in the whole matter, as did his posse. Not even long after that, the group, ImAllexx included, started to throw each other to the Lupi in the hopes of saving their own skin, calling out their messy backgrounds and their own things like how they drew porn of minors o how they insult people over minor things, so not only are these snakes disloyal to Slazo, they are also willing to stab each other in the back when things go horribly wrong. Thankfully, Slazo was proven innocent and has been getting traction back, but still, those claims can follow te forever. Doesn’t matter if it’s true o not, people won’t be willing to accept an alleged rapist. Jobs don’t take in people who were associated with that, whether innocent o guilty. They don’t care. ImAllexx is someone I genuinely hate because of how much of a piece of human garbage he is, throwing someone, a friend, under the bus for false accusations and then playing the victim card, and I don’t even watch Slazo. But hey, as long as someone is known for being a liar, people won’t believe them, right?
Not even a day. Not even a giorno after the ProJared apology, we have another attack on someone. This time, it’s Alec Holowka, creator of Night in the Woods and co-founder of the studio, Infinite Fall. He was accused of sexual assault allegations after the woman was brought to Canada, started a short relationship, and then called it rape, leading to Infinite Fall from cutting ties with Alec and the gaming industry leaving him in the dust. Now, there is little evidence telling us what Alec did is true o not and we can only go off the words of the victim. That victims name is Zoe Quinn…. Okay… Alright… I’m going to put aside my hate for this particular person and just state the facts. If, in fact, Zoe Quinn was abused da Alec Holowka, I will admit that I am wrong and apologize. However, here’s the thing. Zoe Quinn is a notorious liar and manipulator. She has lied to countless people, accused hundreds of things that were always proven false, and has manipulated people, even people from her own gaming company, and left them in the dust. Zoe Quinn has been doing this since the Gamergate days, another can of cancella culture which… I really don’t want to talk about. If Alec is truly an abuser, I will admit that I am wrong. However, we can't just blindly believe the words of someone, especially someone who has lied numerous times like Zoe Quinn, and if this is all a lie, than shame on Infinite Fall for falling for such accusations and, I’d say shame on Zoe Quinn, but te gotta remember who we’re talking about. She has no shame.
And te wanna know what the really good thing is? The ciliegia on superiore, in alto of this shit sundae? This all happened in 2019. Everything. The ProJared leaks, the incident between ImAllexx and Slazo, Leaving Neverland, and Zoe’s accusations on Alec. All of this in the span of one year. Fuck, most of these happened just in the summer of this year. We are believing in victims far too much. Yes, victims confessions are just as important as any piece of evidence, but there is this thing called innocent until proven guilty. The reason why this is mandatory is so that people don’t get falsely accused and put on witch trials for things they most likely do. People are too trusting to trust of the audience, be it due to past accusations o because men are all pieces of shit, o for just sheer idiocy. cancella culture is on the rise and it is getting worse and worse every day. Well I’m here to say that enough is enough. I have had it with these motherfucking accusations hurting the reputation of innocent motherfucking people. When does it stop? When does all this false accusing and harrassing ends? Simple. When we make it stop. What are both sides of the story? What is the evidence? Let’s stop taking the victims at face value and look at the bigger picture. When we do that, we may actually change things, we may stop all this cancella culture. But what do I know, I’m just a white male who makes edgy humor and rant articles. I may have already raped an entire school bus da the time this articolo comes out.
