Some of you might remember a situation
we covered not too long ago about Black
Griffin. The reason I'm bringing it up
is because of one of the key players
from that video, Sabers Spark, has found
himself in a whole new controversy
separate from defending Black Griffin.
As we established before, Saber was
active in the Brony community way back
in at least 2011. Well, recently some
allegations have come out about Saber,
about some inappropriate actions of his
back in 2012 to 2013. Now, the original
allegations didn't have a lot of
evidence present. It was mostly just
entirely witness testimony. But when the
post was made, it was revealed a video
would come out later that same day
accompanying and further expanding upon
the allegations. If you haven't seen
anything, this video is terribly awful.
Despite making serious claims of rape,
the video is loaded full of jokes and a
whole bunch of other inappropriate
moments to make the video come off in
incredibly poor taste. Today, we're
going to go through the video and
dissect it, as it truly is a case study
of what not to do in regards to making
allegations. But before we get into
that, you should uh probably subscribe
so that I can feed my poor starving
family. To get back on track, the video
is made by the YouTuber. No, this isn't
a joke. I love Kim Possible a lot. I'm
just going to call him Kim going
forward. The video is 2 hours, but for
your sake and mine, I'm only covering
the [\h__\h] that's relevant. If I covered
everything wrong with the video, we'd be
here for 2 hours. The video starts off
with them saying that this was made with
journalistic integrity and educational
intentions. This will age very poorly.
Now, I don't like covering these
stories. We're an animation channel.
Yeah, you know, maybe for the future,
it's best if you avoid stories like
these. They also go on to say that they
think they can call out things when they
think they can add to it. I like to
think of myself like the John Stewart of
the YouTube animation community. I call
things out when I feel like I can add
something to the conversation. Good god,
this is also going to age incredibly
poorly. By the way, the video isn't just
about Saber Spark. A portion of it is
also about DA Games and the allegations
he's facing right now. I'm not super
wellversed in the allegations that he's
going through, so I'm going to try to
address those as best as possible. So,
Kim's talking about someone she used to
know by the name of Chris and how he was
just a weirdo. Apparently, he like
masturbated and came on clothes.
allegedly several times that in the
bathroom of the hotel where the group
was staying, he was masking 2 to KP's
clothing. And she somehow decides that
it's a good idea to bring Trump up and
compare it to that. Let's bring a
political comparison. For those who
forgot or are not American, good for
you. The 2016 leak of the Hollywood
Access tape was a big deal. In a bus, we
have an orange man who shall not be
named and Billy Bush, a member of the
Bush family. He's a cousin of President
George W. Bush, or as my Gen Z audience
would know, the shoe guy. I'm a little
confused on why you tried making this
connection, but whatever. She basically
talks about Chris for a really long
time. Accuses DA Games of not handling
it appropriately and lying about firing
him. So, that's why we're here. Part
zero. Disproving KP rep. For some
reason, people think I'm unqualified to
do this or have false information about
things that have happened in the past.
Oh my [\h__\h] god. She made a whole
segment about how people think she's
unqualified to handle this. This is
[\h__\h] rough. One other thing you'll
notice in the video is it's just loaded
with jokes. And you know, that's fine to
make jokes in videos. Obviously, we're
all entertainers. It's the whole point
of making content. But some of the jokes
that she makes in this video are a
little less than poorly timed. So Kim
tries to claim that DA Games is a file
and throws up a few screenshots. Call me
crazy, but uh none of the screenshots
shown really prove that. It's just posts
about him talking about having a
girlfriend and then another post from
Discord, which can at most be an edgy
joke. Also, yeah, despite just accusing
this guy of being a Kim decides it's a
good idea to throw up joke meme edits.
So, uh, what are you going to do later?
I got a date with Nikki. Oh, yeah. She's
a beauty and she's also 17. Bold and
beautiful. And how was it handled in the
DA game server? contacted Will about the
situation who sympathized privately but
didn't do anything publicly but like
what's accountability for exposing
minors to a predator. So from what these
DMs read, it sounds like this person was
groomed by someone else in the DA Games
Discord server. They then made a post
about it on Twitter and linked it in the
Discord. And DA got annoyed that it was
posted. Call me crazy, but I I don't
know. I think it's kind of
understandable why this was deleted.
Instead of posting it in their Discord,
you know, why not contact a mod? To go
even further, Kim accuses DA Games of
not banning this guy and some other bad
individuals because it would hurt his
image and rent his due. I mean, come the
[\h__\h] on. The least you could have done
was ban a pet. The bare minimum. What's
that? Let me be clear. This isn't only
Will's fault. It's everyone involved in
the company, including the people I
named before. And I know rent is a
thing, but sacrificing putting children
at risk because you don't want to
publicly speak out about this behavior
and threaten your livelihood and because
you don't want to go to college is just
shitty and selfish. You haven't provided
anything here to say he didn't handle
it. The last message in your screenshot
is him asking the victim to send him the
link. So Kim decides to bring on two
people and just has this obscenely long
conversation with them. Like good god,
it goes on for like 20 minutes longer
than it should. And the crazy part is it
amounts to [\h__\h] nothing. Oh my god.
They try to talk about how he has an HR
department, but [\h__\h] I don't know.
Who cares? Who cares? They then bring up
how he accidentally had a poor website
leak while he was streaming. They pull
up a message from 2017 where he tries to
justify slurs through freedom of speech,
which is cringe, but it's also [\h__\h]
eight years ago. Yeah. And when the
second document came out, I reached out
again and I was basically confirmed that
was what happened. And I put out my
secondary statement on Twitter because
the initial apology, well, the quote
unquote apology that I made the first
time, it went uh it went through those
two people and it was heavily sanitized.
They wanted me to say he apologized in
BC, he did this, he did that. And I was
supposedly there to witness when he did
those things. And as a result, people
started disregarding everything as fake.
And so I wanted to make that secondary
statement to explain that nothing was
fake. And I was pressured into writing
something I didn't really believe in.
And then later those two people would
come forward in private and apologize to
me for doing that. Is there any evidence
or proof to back this up? [\h__\h] no. Of
course not. If this is true, like this
would be crazy, but you got to prove it,
man. Like you can't just say this [\h__\h]
They also once again claim that DA Games
made a Bity joke to a 14-year-old they
knew was 14. Uh their proof is a DM
conversation where they just say, "Oh
yeah, this totally happened." That's not
really uh it's not really what evidence
is. Okay, to recap. So, I was going to
say it sounds like it's pretty bad
between the allowing predators to be in
their spaces and not really doing
anything about it or threatening people
who make fan art or Will dating a minor
and Will looking up child. I remember
seeing that because I thought that was
the worst thing Will specifically had
done. And then Chris just had the
behavior of being sexist and racist,
too, and gross with minors. All right,
so I said this earlier, but you didn't
really prove he dated a minor. You just
threw up some screenshots and assumed we
got that when no, that's uh not what it
looks like. But Kim also makes the claim
he looked up child. The only thing I can
think of is when they talked about the
leak he had on stream where it showed he
was looking at porn of young people.
Now, maybe this is just me and maybe
this is insane, but I don't think
looking at porn of young people is the
same at looking at child porn. Young
adults are legal whereas children are
not. And if you really thought this was
child porn, Kim, why did you censor it
to put it in your video? If you guys
really think that this was child porn,
then why share it around? What I
personally think is Will needs to take a
break from the internet because this
sounds really unhealthy from a third
party perspective. Bro, your argument is
this guy is a pedophile. What the [\h__\h]
do you mean he needs a break from the
internet? You should want him arrested.
This isn't a oh, I made a severe lapse
in judgment. This is a kick this guy
out. This is like a vote this guy out
like it's Among Us. Then these guys just
[\h__\h] preach about how he has a
parasocial relationship. This is their
worst argument, by the way. And they go
on for far too long about this one. And
on top of that, you have this whole
Discord channel dedicated to just giving
him support. You're encouraged to look
at his Discord status and see what state
he's in. You could also not you could
just not support him. And like I felt
super close to him when I literally just
knew him for like 4 months. It doesn't
sound like he's parasocial. It sounds
like you guys are extremely parasocial.
On that note, do you guys have any
advice for people that are kind of in
similar shoes that you were when you
were finding all this stuff out? Talk to
people. Talk to people. Like, you're not
alone going through this. Like, please
talk to people. Even people that are
still fans, like, talk to them. And it's
okay if you don't feel okay going
through this because it's [\h__\h] hard.
They're making this sound like someone
just [\h__\h] died. This is so serious
for zero reason. This is like the most
serious part of the video and it it
sounds something like this. They just
keep [\h__\h] doing this [\h__\h] for like
another 10 minutes. I'm done with those
two. And with that, we can finally talk
about Saber Spark. It only took an hour.
So Chris worked for Saber Spark. Kim
reached out to people to try to get them
to talk to Saber about firing Chris.
When Kim asked for updates, the
individual she got in contact with said
they hadn't heard any updates one way or
another. Kim took this as, "Well, Saber
did absolutely nothing." No, that just
means this guy has no updates. So,
eventually, she blasted Saber Spark
publicly on Twitter and then tried to
talk to him privately. By the way, I
wasn't going to make fun of Steven so
much, but I gave him so many chances to
communicate with me and he just didn't
do anything. So, clearly, he doesn't
care what I have to say. Yeah, after you
had already blasted him publicly. No
private conversation is happening after
that. I'm sorry. I I hate to tell you
that an issue when there's potential
backlash.
I've come to make an announcement.
Shadow the Hedgehog is a [\h__\h] ass
[\h__\h] He pissed on my [\h__\h]
wife. The person who made this has over
100k YouTube subs, by the way. I just I
just need that to be said as we're
watching this. So, she then decides to
just ramble a whole [\h__\h] ton about some
email she sent to Saber. I mean, it's
really hard to even pay attention to
this, but in between her ramblings, I
noticed she said, "The DA Games
community server has had that were
quietly kicked out if slash when
discovered instead of publicly
acknowledged." What the What the [\h__\h] do
you want them to do? Do you want them to
implement a channel in their server
every time they ban someone for being a
pile? Like a [\h__\h] public shame board?
Just [\h__\h] get rid of him and move on.
This is [\h__\h] stupid. Then, for some
reason, Kim decides it's a good idea to
not only include a detailed story of an
awkward romantic encounter she had with
Saber, but that she would include this
in the video and read so everyone can
see. And then we get to like the most
irrating part of the entire video. She
has an entire segment talking to some
woman named Courtney about what is
consent. Bro, we do not need this. There
is legitimately no reason this is in the
video. And the worst [\h__\h] part about
this whole thing is these two [\h__\h]
bimbos are entirely wrong about the
whole thing. A consensual sexual
encounter is never something you're
going to question afterwards. No, that's
not true in like any regard. And that
thought process is why false rape
accusations happen. That's actually like
such a [\h__\h] awful thing to even say
essentially. And I'm just going to give
you a brief TLDDR of this thing. They
talk about this as if the anonymous
allegations made against Sabers Spark
are 100% true. They are basing this like
entire conversation as though there's
100% concrete proof that Saber sex
assulted this person. And the fact
they're saying all this [\h__\h] is just so
absolutely like autistic to be honest.
There's no other word to describe this.
And by the way, since the original
anonymous allegations have been made
against Saber, there has been zero
additional evidence. At most, there's a
video of him being at a Brony Con in the
year this allegedly happened. That's
legitimately it. And to round the video
off, they randomly bring up Lily
Orchard. Holy [\h__\h] this video sucks
ass. Essentially though, that's the
entire video. They go on to say that
this was 6 months of research and it was
for nothing. This video came out
awfully. I mean, this is this is
literally a [\h__\h] trash fire to get
through. Now, the Brony fandom account,
the one who initially published the
allegations about Saber, as well as
being a primary source of info for the
Black Griffin video I made, came out to
express disappointment with Kim's video,
but wanted to emphasize the importance
that despite Kim [\h__\h] this whole
situation up, that should not take away
from the allegations. They essentially
just said to ignore this video entirely
and to instead focus on the testimony.
With that, though, we can round the
video off. I think this is a prime
example of how not to handle
allegations. Take it from someone who
used to make videos like that way back
when. The last thing you should do is
include jokes when it comes to
situations like that. But that's
something I learned at like 2K subs, not
120,000. With that though, I'm gonna end
the video. I don't know. Join the
Discord, follow me on Twitter, and or uh
subscribe, I guess, or uh I'll force you
to sit through this 2hour unedited slog
fest. Anyway, I don't know. Later.
