Please don't treat grindworks going as the death of toontown. It's only ceasing development due to the way higher ups on the team handled everything. You don't have to forgive ppl who defended mica, but I hope those who realised their mistakes are given room to prove they meant what they said.

honestly all i'm gonna say about the Stuff here is like. i cant really fault people for being manipulated all this time. especially by them. they're not only dangerous but also wickedly smart. it was not surprising how everything went down, in retrospect (not that that makes it right)

Grindworks staff begin guilt tripping in the discord because no one wants their work associated with the game anymore It was probably more of a "punch to the gut" to all the people who contributed to see you guys defending a groomer and abusing your staff positions to bring it into the discord.

"Being in the Toontown community is like being in an abusive relationship" and it's a lot of people not fuckin wit your game any longer cuz you're willin to keep n bat for a groomer FOH

so highly heartbroken by and disappointed in the toontown grindworks dev team the community should b a place of care and safety for everyone, and sheltering a predator isn't the hill to die on if making the internet and game in general fun for everyone is the idea :/

// discussions of grooming posted as an image due to the character limit, but TL;DR: do me a favor and block me if you support micah/moondog/the developer of friendOS and are trying to defend their reprehensible actions. I do not like you.

New sleuth in town. #ttcc #toontowncorporateclash #art

My final statement regarding FriendOS, needed to take some time off so I could write this with a clear mind

I dont care if I get blocked by the big toontown honchos at least im not complicit in defending a groomer

"People are only attacking Mica/Friend OS out of jealousy" - Person who decided that their beef with a fucking Toontown private server is more important than dealing with predators. Its always projection with these people. I thought Smash would be the rock bottom stupidity I had to deal with.

Doodle page comm for anon!! ^^ [ #ttcc #art ]

It's incredibly disappointing to see so many people, especially within the tt fandom jumping to defend Micah's behavior. Everyone's said basically anything I'd also say so I won't go on a tangent but if you still support Micah after all of this I'm going to need you to block me

Chloe, the lead developer at Grindworks, is currently going around and blocking people who are talking about the situation btw. Many Grindworks staff are supporting mica in this situation and claiming her to be the victim. Careful what games you choose to support.

Genuinely if you can sit here and defend a pedos actions maybe you’re not cut out for real life. You are not the victim, stop acting like one.

The grindworks teams actions are repulsive, cannot believe this whole situation is weeding out all the scum. Chloe is weak willed and so is the rest of the team siding with Micah. Im not the bigger person, you are all scum

TW // Heavy Grooming Talk I don't like the way people bring up keeby trying to get back in contact with mica under a new alias as proof Keeby couldn't have been a victim, because that's actually a really common behaviour in grooming victims because of the nature of how grooming works.

"regarding Micah, and the Toontown Grindworks Devs who are supporting, platforming, defending and downplaying the actions of a predator" docs.google.com/document/d/1... [ this is a repost from twt to spread the doc here #toontown #toontowngrindworks #friendos ]

Welp, i will never be playing Toontown: The Grindworks again. I tried raising the whole Micah stuff to a Grindworks crew member and this what they had to say. I am disappointed that they're still siding with micah, despite all the manipulation tactics Micah used : ( #toontown #toontowngrindworks

please do not discredit what sheriff cranky is saying about mica just because it's cranky saying it, cranky is probably the most qualified to speak out given his proximity.

Stop using the law to say if something is or isnt predatory, a 40 year old and someone barely 18 is technically “legal” but that doesnt make it any less imbalanced, also again, the potential of abuse from the victims end does not take away from their actions, you people are spreading ABUSE APOLOGIA.

Even if they were abusive as a victim that doesnt take away how originally predatory power inbalanced of an age gap that was You people are making points that aid in hiding predators, all because you want to continue playing a game, you people do not give a shit about victims at all.

The fact you guys see a situation in which someone is actively trying to get away using the age of consent to try and justify a relationship, not acknowledging how fucking weird that is that you even need to try and desperately try and make seem legal is in fact defending predatory behavior

This one gif really reminded me of Bondholder so I rotoscoped him over it #ttevh

Something that pisses me off when it comes to grooming situations is excusing the groomer because the victim is a bad person. That is a bullshit excuse, no matter how bad a person is it does not fucking excuse someone getting groomed or anything like that. Grooming is never justifyable.

If you still support FriendOS and Mica you are supporting a groomer, I do not care about inconsistencies or whether or not Keeby did bad things themself. That was a child, and Mica was 20, and had every chance to properly back off. I do not want her supporters interacting with me in ANY capacity.

“”real victims””” is genuinely a fucking disgusting thing to say but i guess it’s great we are seeing a lot of true colors today Lol Ok

repeatedly lie that they were doing something with it when they weren't. I didn't take the reins and demand change, even with what little I had to offer and I still feel remorse that I could've done something to alleviate later issues. Toontown for the better part of its existence now has been -

run of the people, by the people and for the people. It has brought joy, laughter and lifelong memories to so many of our lives. And you cannot let the worst people heist the best things about it. Don't let predators define your community, be the community that does something about it.

Don't let enablers poison the well with half measures, let joy define your community. Toontown is ultimately a community and that means you have the power to choose what goes out there. Use that power, don't let others use it for you.

One more thing I wanna say about the whole Toontown shit. It's a grave mistake to allow a game/community to be defined by the absolute worst it has to offer. Its a mistake I myself made when I slowed down my activism in Smash in the fallout of July 2020 to "compromise" with people who went on to -

Alr, last thing I am gonna add separately regardin the situation: That last thread I made was made out of anger, plenty of important screenshots got sporadically shown in there. So, I compiled all the screenshots of the most indefensible things that Micah has done along w/ my thoughts (🧵)

wow we really do live in a victim blaming and DARVO hell world. I kind of hate all of you

Last thing I will say on the FriendOS situation before remuting the tag but: Mica is clearly using the DARVO method, which is DENYING the abuse ever took place, when confronted they ATTACK the victim, and then reverses the claims to make it that THEY are the actual victim. +

If you're making jokes about the mica situation saying shit like "clash needs a new PR person" over it I hate you a little i cant lie

I've read through some of Micah's docs but nothing's really going to change my mind. You were 20 years old "dating" a freshly 17 year old and discussing sexual topics with a minor. You're in an online space, you could've controlled it and you actively chose to engage instead of backing away.

Rereadin the doc again and, even tho Micah never had crossed state **lines to my knowledge**, they *STILL* discussed the topic of flying over to visit em with their """ex partner""" (1st screenshot) Also, why is Micah initiating n even *enjoyin* the sexual convos? (2nd & 3rd sreenshots) 🤨 (rant 🧵)

Following this PDF in which Micah self-admitted to try and meet with a minor across state lines, I have made the final decision to not support FriendOS. I can't in good conscious support a game that's spearheaded by a groomer, i want nothing to do with this game or it's creator. #friendos #toontown

Saying clash is trying to slander The Other Game "Presumably out of sheer ego" when the dev is an abuser should actually get you kicked off every project and warrant an apology to every person that's had the misfortune of even just brushing past you on the subway.

for sexual/romantic purposes. As the adult esp as one with a position of authority over the partner (I.e CC team), you're the one that's supposed to say no to any of these advances! You're the one in control! Any """coercion""" excuse esp over goddamn e-dating is flat out bullshit. (cont.)

Fuck it, I'm nobody but I got Toontown followers, lets talk about the damn Mica stuff. This is damn near 1:1 with the whole Nairo thing so I'll get down to it. Nevermind any inconsistencies with Keeby's story, the fact is that Mica pursued a relationship with a minor and mused an IRL meetup (cont.)

There's a lot I could say since I've reread the document. But as an adult it is YOUR responsibility to get out of situations like this. CHOOSING, as a 20 year old, to get in a relationship with someone who was (freshly) 17 is something that could've been completely avoidable especially online.

please read this for the Love Of God

The document's public / still up so I'll be reposting it here unless requested to be taken down on bsky: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

The victims document has also been around on twitter since 2023. I believe there's also an uncomfortable conversation to be had about how many of the team was there when the document dropped and still decided to stay to work with them.
