So I've been thinking a lot, and I wanted to make a public apology for the way I acted with regard to Splat Safety over the course of the last couple of years, but particularly back in August. I still have some legitimate issues with the way they handled the situation, but in raising them, (1/4)

Thanks to a contribution by @hfcred.dev sendou ink now has an often requested support for pronoun selection! It can be added on your profile settings page and shows in some contexts such as chats, tournament match rosters & the API stream layouts use. #sendouink

youtu.be/SdjAn2Mczlk I've posted an update about how videos, lessons, and streams will work going forward. There is also a significant amount of Romeo content.

if you wanna apologize for spreading misinformation the bare minimum is to put just as much effort into publicizing the correction yknow not just going 'oops my bad' or 'i was manipulated so i'm absolved and don't need to do jack shit'

Can I just say that continuing to nitpick and criticize someone who just had to deal with thousands of dollars in loss and 2 years of defamation and harassment who turned out to be a victim of exactly what they were accused of is vile at best. May well adjusted people stay away from you.

Worth noting that if the apology for the gem situation involves trading which person is “the bad one,” it’s not really growth. It’s saying “I’m sorry I picked the wrong team”

There is so so SO much I want to say, have wanted to say, and will want to say concerning this situation. It goes against every fiber of my being to hold my tongue further, but it is not my battleground. One thing I will say: with the information we currently have, I stand by Gem and his innocence.

As someone who heavily backed up Six throughout the past couple years, I feel fucking used. There's even proof that Six SA'd Gem here (via lying about who she was with. yes, that's SA.) Six has hurt the community in so many ways and almost ended splat safety, which while slow, does eventually get

Can we have a public apology from the people who doxxed the members of Splat Safety Committee as well ? These well intentioned buzzfeed era millenials at SSC did nothing but try to protect their gaming community and were paid nothing but vitriol and abuse.

i hope the Splatoon community can take the time to read this entire document without any tl;drs sorry for not speaking up, gem - you deserved better than that and i wish you the best for the road ahead

I still hope the community as a whole stops the whole "bandwagon lets jump 'em" mentality. It never leads to anything good. Think before you act.

A final note, as someone who is close to survivors of abuse the case always read wrong to me Someone who is so hurt and cornered does not weaponize a community against someone-or turn themselves into a beacon of trust to try and tear it down. Speaking too much when the other can’t is a sign of guilt

My time on websites and personal experiences are enough to know that dogpiling and harassment are things that really spiral out of control, so I’ve always tried to stay neutral on this publicly.

LRT the amount of vitriol from even the SSC video + knowing some of the court case details (it’s public info) was incredible when it was very obvious what sux was saying was not adding up. It must’ve been torture to hold out for so long

I initiated the fire So i will burn with the consequences of doing so. I owe Gem the biggest apology out of everybody I believe, but that isn't going to fix the damage brought about this situation. I am sorry for all I have caused at the beginning of this situation, I was wrong

Let this be a lesson to younger Splatoon players to please learn how to read between the lines. You do not need to form and vocalize your opinion on something the moment you find out about it. Especially if you don’t have all the context.

I’ve been very reluctant to speak on any of this in the past, but none of the dots were ever really aligning for me in the story. Too many inconsistencies and holes in the narrative. But there was never room for doubt without getting publicly dogpiled. Please give this a read.

Maliciously and intentionally lying to the org that does its best to keep the community safe AND the community as a whole while being a TO for said community is quite the cognitive dissonance.

Veritas Vos Liberabit Please read. Please think of what we have lost. Consider that the truth is complicated and messy. How can you say with certainty that you know the truth when you have only been privy to one angle? Harassment is not the answer. Please respect all parties. Truth

regardless of how you feel about this situation and Splat Safety, I urge you to read this document in its entirety this is a situation that has affected the lives of REAL people, and the least we can do as a community is to stay informed and remain open to perspectives from those affected

It’s been very frustrating to see what has played out up until Gem/squid school released an actual statement. So much damage caused along the way by intentional misinformation and a refusal to consider other perspectives. This is worth a read and reflection.

I want more people to read this regardless of your feelings on Gem. I have always felt that the narrative Gem's accuser has presented is not wholly true. And with everything we've heard from multiple parties, I stand by that. I have been quiet, not wanting to draw further attention to either party

I would highly encourage ALL people in the Splatoon Community to read this. If you have ever Supported Gem / Squid School in the past and heard about the serious allegations put against him. I personally believe he is innocent and I think its such a shame that this escalated this far.

Please judge this statement by my own words, not what someone else said about it on Twitter. My accusers have spent a long time spreading their narrative and may bomb this with comments to poison the well, while this is my 1st chance to publicly explain what's... docs.google.com/document/d/1...
