      What Edward did was very wrong but I’m not gonna be quick to take sides because Edward hasn’t officially “come out” about the situation yet and we don’t know the full story. After all we only got 1 side of the story, not both. And the tables can turn very easily depending on the severity of their actions.

    When you’re in your 20s and you’re flirting with a minor, you’re a creep. There’s nothing else to it. That’s a creep. And that bit about how he was so nice to the fans while she wanted to leave was pure manipulation. He’s trying to spin himself as the hero to the fans and she’s disrespectful. It’s perfectly reasonable to feel uncomfortable in the spotlight regardless of what your job is. J.D. Salinger, one of the most famous American authors of the 20th century, was a notorious recluse.

      Have you seen the comments on his live stream? "No, you are a good person, please don't cry!" "Don't cry please!"
      Good person? Seriously?
      Someone who manipulated his ex girlfriend to be in over sexualized thumbnails, so he could get views and money out of her is now a good person?

Anyone who watched her video (which I did) would see that there's more than enough evidence that he shouldn't be making content for children (or for anyone, really, but unfortunately, most of the things she had clear evidence of were disgusting but legal and while I believe her about the physical abuse, it'd be very hard to prove in court). The Court of Public Opinion can be very problematic, but I feel that what he's done is enough to make people see him as someone not worth giving ad revenue or support to.

    As an avid viewer of arcade craniacs, I actually did enjoy watching their former 3AM videos. They were practically a living meme.
    I always loved how self awareness they were with their content which made them deviate away from the norm. However, when I heard about the serious allegations, I started to loose respect and would eventually unsubscribe to the channel. Unfortunately, it is very sad to see how Edward didn't even take responsibility for his shady actions towards Nicole. On that positive note, I am very glad that Nicole had moved on with her life and is happy for where she is now. In conclusion, I'd say that I am very disappointed with Edward and to what he has done after the controversy. What I find very petty is not the fact that he had avoided responsibility, but the fact that he still uploads videos and pretends nothing has happened. It would be very sad to see his children audience find out the true nefarious intentions behind the curtains. To add insult to injury, there are still people who defend him even after the controversy has taken effect. I am here to wish for the best of Nicole and hoping that aleast one day, that true justice will be served.
    Ps: Though that would be me playing devils advocate considering how much had passed since the controversy.

    Man.... I loved arcade craniacs and even bought eventually merch. When we found out what happened I was heartbroken and still kinda am, I trusted them and gave them money because I enjoyed what they did and now I can't look at them without being sad

    When I watched his story responses for the first time, they just left a real sick taste in my mouth. Instead of directly addressing what happened to the audience, he's just shaming Nicole and calling her a money moocher and irrelevant. Literally goes to show that all he really cared about was saving face and his online persona and not actually about Nicole and what he had done to her.

    Interesting video, I knew some things about them but I didn’t know that much thanks for that. Still really want a rise of Ice Nine Kills video, you probably need a Spencer for the video but if you don’t make, then that’s fine. But overall nice view and have a great day.

    It's sad really, in his livestream he seemed genuinely apologetic and took all the blame and said how he was horrible, but the overwhelming backup and support I guess took over his emotions and turned him entirely against her.

    -Find someone on the internet by sheer luck
    -After many recommendations, you finally watch a video of their channel
    -It’s already been a week and you’re enjoying their content.
    -Before you know it, it has been years and the content creator has become your childhood.
    -God fucking dammit they’re a groomer/abuser/scumbag.
