I think she would have even probably been satisfied if he didn't explicitly SAY cheating, but the way he framed it like she was having some mentally ill breakdown didn't help it at all. Some of this stuff still may have come out, but it definitely made it so much worse. Accepting some culpability always keeps it from becoming an entire bad look. Holly did herself and Jared no favors either commenting on the post, though I guess it'd have been conspicuous if she hadn't. Normal Boots was investigating SOMETHING. So yeah some of this might have come out anyway... but i do not think it would have been this massive blow up. That's true, beginning in late April. I imagine they'd have had to say *something* about Jared leaving, it couldn't have been kept entirely quiet.

What's intersting with this.... is like none of this would have come out if Jared just admitted to cheating... Heidi let him get his word out first... and instead of giving a "I cheated on my wife, and because of this we are seperating" or whatever... he gave some clinical thing like ti was mutual and then blocked her on TWitter so she couldn't see it... I think she would have even probably been satisfied if he didn't explicitly SAY cheating, but the way he framed it like she was having some mentally ill breakdown didn't help it at all. Some of this stuff still may have come out, but it definitely made it so much worse. Accepting some culpability always keeps it from becoming an entire bad look. Holly did herself and Jared no favors either commenting on the post, though I guess it'd have been conspicuous if she hadn't. Absolutely. You don't slander the person who knows where all your skeletons are buried.

Actually, I am talking about before that, when she posted of how she'd be there for Jared on Jared's sanitized "statement" about the divorce. It got seized on in a big way.

Jim Sterling's opening seems to be referencing this without referencing it...
what with the "even though I blocked the person that are making the accusations" and "Don't look at the pictures"
edit: and about 3/4's through he makes a direct reference... >_>
"the man is a catalyst of shit and the only way things could be shittier for him was if his name was ProJared" and "...not Creepy in a ProJared way"

-The exposure towards underage people isn't the greatest look. Understatement of the century. If the accusers have any proof of their claims (which I don't doubt they do), he's going to be facing some serious charges in the very near future.

I am friends with someone who has known Matthew Mercer for awhile and she can't say enough nice things about him. Granted, he's a major voice actor in addition to the stuff with Critical Role, so he eclipses "Fan Youtuber Personality" status. Yeh the kidnaof was more about "youtuber" personality ,not about being nice. From what I hear he is one of the nicest guys in the world. Hell the entire Crit Role cast seem to be good people. They are embodiment of wholesomeness.

I seen a couple people comparing the two but I think the Projared situation is closest to what would happen if all the JewWario stuff came out before his passing.

Every time one of these stories comes around, I'm a little bit happier that the few YouTube folks that I follow tend to be pretty cool and free of sleaze. Pat and Ian, the Metal Jesus crew, Cinemassacre, Game Sack, and Toy Galaxy all seem just be good folks who enjoy doing what they do. To be fair ProJared seemed that way too

Of all the groups out there, I had pegged the NormalBoots crew to be the most approachable and innocent. But the image has been very tainted. It'd be best served for the whole thing to shut down and rise again under a different name just to put the past in the past.

I'd heard inklings ProJared was a total fiend on tumblr, but I thought, as many did, that maybe it was for laughs or something, but then again, obviously it wasn't. Beyond that, in some of his earlier videos like Two Worlds, I do notice her was more dudebro-y. I think he got better about how he presented himself, but that aspect of him never went away, clearly.

Or JonTron Maybe? I dont feel like JonTron has really enough to cover a Down The Rabbit Hole,or is he "down" enough. Maybe not even Jared,he had one big f***up and the nude tumblr,it would be fairly short. Channel Awesome possible,there is a lot of shit there

I feel like the Down The Rabbit Hole ep will probably be about that YouTuber who just got sentenced to prison for soliciting minors.

Channel Awesome possible,there is a lot of shit there I feel like there's probably enough for the Jontron stuff, though they'd likely need to milk stuff like the Game Grumps split, something I am still not sure if we ever got a clear answer on the why, other than it maybe being a simple as creative differences and money, those of which I think have been copped to. Taking any personal beliefs out of the equation, JonTron's like some Kubrick perfectionist with his videos and doesn't seem to put stuff out until it's done, as long as that may take. Arin's Roger Corman and pumps content out constantly, including videos where he will sound like he's been awake for days, but it's probably just them at the end of a recording cycle.

The "You Can Play This" guy seemed like the nicest person in the world, but we all know how that turned out. Everybody I talk to who knows Jared has never spoken highly of him as a person.

If anyone is interested in this still... Jared finally posted a response... not linking to the direct tweet because uh... yeah people posted somethings I really didn't need to see in the thread and are against our rules so to be safe here are the blocks of text. edit: I do notice he completely ignores the rather large elephant in the room...
