Why did he come out months later to make this video? It's kinda late now fam. Also all 3 people in this situation are terrible so whatever.

Because he was talking to laywers getting evidence etc. I think it is fair to do that.
4 minutes in and he’s still trying to spin his nude-posting tumblr as “a safe place for positivity and expression”.

It was a place for you to fuel your fetish, mate. Let’s be real.

As long as people did consent there is still no problem here.


I mean yes the shit was hilarious. But when you are accused of pedophilia and this was not true than it is fucked up in the end.

Watch the video people. I am inclined to believe him because he shows some pretty convincing receipts. The whole soliciting underage nudes really does seem to be proven false in this, because he shows proof that the people who made claims against either a: may never have talked to him in the first place, and b: lied about being over 18 to get attention and be a part of his 18+ community meant for consenting adults. People saying they saw nudes of him as proof of his wrongdoings...having nude pictures isn't illegal or wrong, so that doesn't prove shit. He never denies having a tumblr meant for sharing nudes. People have known about this for a long time.

Even if this epic-length video manages to clear his name in terms of certain allegations, the damage has been done for a long time now. His wife’s very public takedown of him on social media is something that he hasn’t really refuted, and he still comes off as a Grade A Asshole... even in this video, where he’s all stern and shit.

The subscribers aren’t coming back, Jared. The views aren’t coming back, either. Time to find a different (and less public) line of work, because this bridge is permanently damaged and people have gone elsewhere.

I by no means meant to imply he’s absolutely guilty of the things accused.

I’m just pointing that he’s (still) using flowery language to obfuscate the nature of that tumblr and make himself look better. Which makes him look dishonest, and is something you may want to avoid when you’re making a 40 minute video intended to “be honest” and “set the record straight”.

3 minutes in he admits he shares nudes with fans in a "safe environment". Fucking hell, you're not a touring rock star you're some dweeb who reviews Final Fantasy games. What made you think it was acceptable? lmao

Dude still has over 760,000 subs on his main channel..that's not exactly a small number, and I think he knows he can still have an audience if he sets the facts straight.

Sending dick pics to people outside of an internet space to people you wanna smash is fine. They don't "know" you so it isn't going to cause complications.

But having an internet audience and you aren't in the porn industry and doing this type of thing is ASKING for trouble. Especially with "fans" it's fucking weird bruh.

eh, in a way it is asking for trouble, but only because of the madly fucked up climate we're in. it should be fine, and none of anyone's fucken business

43 minutes video! Yikes...any bullet points ?
Stolen from reddit

-Chai, one of the minors who claims Jared solicited nudes from him, has admitted in a public space that during the time when he claims he talked to Jared, he was suffering from a brain injury that caused complete memory loss for 6 months, and rampant hallucinations afterwards. Chai also admitted he has no evidence that him and Jared ever talked, and Jared likewise claims he has no memory of talking to Chai.

-Charlie, the other minor, is someone Jared recognizes and remembers talking to, and Jared has evidence that Charlie lied to him and said they were over 18

-Jared also claims he never sent a dick pic to either person

-Jared mentions that Chai sent emails to people to prove his point, but finds it suspicious that he sent said email to the Game Grumps first and foremost, rather than law enforcement or Heidi or anyone else

-In the email, Chai and Charlie state they wanted Jared to apologize to them, and so Jared did. But then the two sent the same email to Normal Boots, but removed the part where they asked Jared to apologize to them, only to then go on Twitter and act like they were angry about Jared getting in contact with them "out of nowhere"

-Jared was not fired from Normal Boots, he resigned so that nobody else in Normal Boots would get hate for still working with him

-Chai and Charlie worked together on the email, and since Charlie lied directly to Jared's face, Jared claims that we should hold Chai's story in doubt too

-Charlie apparently owned an NSFW blog well before they came up to Jared, contradicting their claims that they were a minor inexperienced and unwilling to be a part of sexual things

-Charlie also had NSFW commissions open

-He addresses Pamela Horton's accusations too, in which Horton claims that during a Nintendo event they were both attending, Jared looked up her nudes and threatened to show them to his friends. Another person by the name of Amelia Talon corroborates this story, claiming Jared looked up her nudes too. As with Chai, Jared claims he has no memory of this event whatsoever, and claims this sort of thing is not something he would do. He was so confused, he had to ask other people what she was talking about.

-When he asked the friends that he supposedly showed the nudes to if they had any idea what Horton/Talon were talking about, they also claimed they have no memory of the event

-Jared claims the true story is that someone mentioned Pamela had cosplayed as Bayonetta, and when he looked up said cosplay, he got excited because he realized he had met Pamela in said cosplay earlier.

-Pamela goes on to claim that Jared was rude to her during the entire event, and Jared once again claims that he has no memory of this event. It turns out she was talking about a panel at E3 a few years ago that she did with Jared and MatPat, which Jared claims has never happened. He never did a panel at E3, and he certainly never did a panel with MatPat or Pamela. He invites people to try and find this panel if it actually exists, and he'll eat his words if it does, but he's positive said panel never actually happened.

-He then goes on to talk about how he was essentially bullied by people he had never met or people he thought were his friends, and how nobody tried to reach out to him or get his side of the story.

-He claims he told Heidi way back in October 2018 that he no longer wanted to be with her, and Heidi said no, and threatened his career in an attempt to keep him in the relationship. They tried therapy, couples counseling, etc., and nothing helped. He has texts between him and a professional that prove this.

-He also claims that Ross knew everything that was going on, and therefore Holly wasn't cheating either.

-For people who want to support him, he just mentions that he wants people to start watching his YouTube videos and Twitch streams again, and asks that people try to combat the misinformation going around.

-He ends the video by saying this drama isn't going to stop him from uploading videos, and that he'll still keep going just as he always has for the sake of those who still support him.

-"Nobody likes cancel culture until they get the chance to cancel someone."

who gives a flying f?

if you're a fan of someone's stuff, it doesn't matter if they're an asshole. you're not their bestie

all of these dramas end in crowds of strangers going.... hurrr durrr yeah I guess we were dead wrong calling this guy a rapist on zero evdence... but hurrrr he's an asshole so whatever

I give a fuck, fair or not. Most YouTube personalities that I follow do a decent job of keeping their inner assholishness private. They are people that I feel like I can identify with, even have a conversation with if I met them. (I’ve actually been fortunate enough to do this with a few personalities that I’ve met.)

Jared didn’t come off like this much of an asshole in the stuff I watched. Snarky? Yes. That’s the character. But I never suspected that his personal life was such a mess. It destroys the character in my eyes.

The lack of drama is one of the reasons that I’ve been a fan of James Rolfe’s work for so long. Aside from one hot-button moment with the Ghostbusters reboot and his choice to not review it, James has mostly steered away from drama and kept his personal life off of the internet. There’s nothing controversial there.

I hear the “separate the art from the artist” argument, but I don’t personally subscribe to it. If I don’t like the artist, I don’t support the artist’s works.
 
not sure why he feels the need to address accusations he was 'rude' to someone ahaha

HE DIDN'T TALK TO ME IN A GROUP SETTING AT SOME SHIT I WENT TO

uh.... and? whose business is that again?

eh... to each their own I guess. Maybe the 'youtuber' thing courts this more than other art forms, because their whole schtick is basically pretending to be the viewer's friend.

people like to build up this image of the e-celeb in their head then BOOM turns out they're human

Totally guilty, friend. I admit it. It’s a flaw. Honestly speaking, that “friend” quality is something I look for in YouTube personalities that I follow— and I’ve been lucky that I can genuinely call a few of them friends in real life, as we’ve met offline and on.

I think people have their own criteria for what attracts them to certain content creators, and I get that mine are different than that of others.

thanks for the cliff notes.

All I remember out of this situation is the sailor moon costume and that shit is burned in my brain.

Too bad for the guy, I remember him from Screw Attack.

Honestly, his wife has come out looking pretty bad just based on her tweets the last little while. Constantly claiming to want to put it behind her, yet she brings up whenever people start moving on and forgetting about her. The situation between these two isn't as black and white as it was initially made out to be.

THANK you Broski, I did NOT want to watch 40 minutes of any jack ass talking lol

I have a problem with the bold above; these are HIS problems, not his customer's problems. He's trying to combat the personal army with his own personal army, and that's just gets fuckin' messy, and is just going to get worst

That's why there's the rule that the internet is not your personal army, because you're either going to look like a jack ass on a soap box, or causing WAY much more bull shit than necessary.

Good on him for keeping doing his thing, and saying "No one likes something bad until they can get away with it," is moot and makes sense, but that's really killed by the fact he's saying "Don't use personal armies!" then creating a personal army to "Combat misinformation."

A bunch came out later in the initial drama that made the wife look like the primary baddie. I'm not invested in it one way or another, and I wish the sailor moon pic hadn't seared my retinas.

People have a right to defend themselves, though, and it's nearly impossible during a witch hunt.
