So today's video is going to
be a very difficult one to say the
least.
I've already made one off of this topic
that I uploaded to the channel as a as a
little short form video, but it's such a
complex issue, a multi-layered
issue that I I think that it needed a
long form video to really dive into
everything, which is why I'm I am
talking about it here today.
So
today I want to talk about Saber
Spark. For those who are unaware, Saber
Spark is an animation YouTuber who
originally got his start in the early
2010s making brony content and only
brony content before eventually
switching to animation in general
towards the mid2010s. He first started
to get major notoriety through a series
he created called What's
Ruining/What Ruined? Where he looks at
various different animation studios,
franchises, and individual creators and
realize where their downfall went and
how they can improve.
The first one of these videos to really
pop off was what's ruining
Nickelodeon, which to be honest is
probably where most of you first heard
of Saber Spark. It was certainly when I
first heard of him. Since then, he's
managed to make tons of different
animation videos focusing around mainly
very schlocky types of animated films
and television shows. You know, stuff
like mockbusters, religious
cartoons, sexually explicit
cartoons, more recently AI generated
tunes, and for some reason,
furries. And over the last few years, he
has become one of the more popular
animation review channels on the
entirety of YouTube, gaining a grand
total of over 2 million
subscribers. Now that we all have a
general idea on who exactly Saber Spark
is, let's talk about the controversy.
Back in early May, a Twitter account by
the name of Brony Fandom posted a
very
intense post detailing a bunch of
sexual misconduct that Saber had done
with a certain person back in the early
2010s with the expose saying that it
will be further discussed in a
featurelength video made by the YouTuber
I love Kim Possible a lot, but for the
sake of this video, we will be calling
her
KP. Take a stupid hat off for real this
times. KP released a video titled,
"What's ruining Saber
Spark?" However, this video was met with
almost immediate backlash from the
community. For starters, the video
wasn't even entirely about Sabers Spark.
Remember how I said that the video was
titled, "What's ruining Sabers Spark?"
You should have because I literally just
said it. The video was actually titled,
"What's Ruining Sabers Spark and DA
Games?" Because the video was an expose
into both creators. The saber spark was
merely a lastminute addition to the
piece. And in particular, this titular
controversy was really only addressed
for a few minutes in this nearly two and
a halfhour long video. And what's even
worse is that KP didn't even take the
material she was discussing seriously
and continue to use her cartoon avatar
throughout the entirety of it and making
stupid little meme jokes. If you are
discussing something that is as serious
as one of your peers committing sexual
assault, something that could land a man
in
prison, you should not be sitting here
making freaking Drake and Josh memes at
his
expense. This is a real serious issue.
Like, people actually were harmed during
all of this.
What you're doing is making light of
everything. And keep in
mind, all of these were just allegations
against Saber Spark. None of this was
confirmed in the video itself. But
regardless, it was still a very shameful
way to address the controversy. And so,
in about less than a day, KP removed her
video. Since then, everyone has
basically remained silent on the
issue. At least publicly, behind the
scenes, things were still very shoddy,
but we'll get to that a little bit
later. The point is, the next big piece
in the story came on May 12th when
Saberspark uploaded a response to his
channel simply titled My Response. In
the video, he denied the allegations and
primarily focused on how this
entire thing was a facade. This was a
smear
campaign constructed by KP. And he
implied significant evidence that backed
up his claim, even linking the evidence
in the description of the video and
showcasing a lot of it throughout the
entirety of the video.
Off the bat, I can just say that this
response was
significantly
wellandled, especially compared to KP
because I don't think Saber committed a
single joke throughout the entire video.
He was on camera through all of it. His
his cartoon avatar was not there and he
took the allegations and the
material seriously.
And why wouldn't he take it seriously? I
mean, this is a serious issue. This
these allegations could lend him in
jail. Basically, what he did was deny
them. He denied that he did any of that.
And he said on how much it's been
affecting his crew and his family on how
these lies have been threat
said for what's essentially a smear
campaign.
And while the video definitely did a
good job at having Saber Spark look like
the good guy in the scenario
and talking about it right now, it might
sound like that he will be okay in the
matter. And it ultimately also made KP
furthermore look like the bad guy
because she openly admitted that she did
not have any evidence. She confirmed
this in a DM that was shared wi with
Animat which Animat would later share
those messages on his Twitch channel and
later on his social media channels.
However, there was still one
thing that was almost completely ignored
in the video that is like the final
piece to this puzzle that needs to be
addressed. Did Saber
Spark actually do
it? Because keep in
mind, the only thing that he really
addressed when it came to the
allegations in the video
itself was that they were
false. He didn't really
supply any evidence to prove that point.
He did supply a ton of evidence for all
this other point, but not the actual
allegations
themselves. And again, we don't even
know who the victim was because in the
original thread, they were anonymous.
So, there's still a piece of the puzzle
that's missing.
We still need to know what exactly is
going on with the story of Saber
Spark. And the crazy thing is we are
actually going to be getting our answer
relatively soon by of all
people the mysterious Mr.
Enter. Yeah, you guys remember Mr.
Enter? the cartoon reviewer that got in
trouble a few years ago for making a
bunch of anti-mask videos and publicly
shaming his audience. And the guy who
got in even more trouble a couple years
ago when he said that Turning Red should
have had more 9/11 in it. Well,
apparently he's been having a redemption
arc the last year because not only did
he make a video acknowledging all of his
past mistakes through his worst Mr. Ener
videos video where he admit that
literally all of the things that I just
listed were terrible and he shouldn't
have done that. Uh he has also been
doing a thorough
investigation in the saber spark
situation
which yeah Mr. Anner was the last person
I was expecting to supply this amount of
evidence that could possibly be the
answer. As of this recording the video
has not been posted yet. So, we still
have an unfinished story. We don't know
if Saber Spark has done it or not. The
evidence is certainly more in his favor
than it was, but we don't have all the
evidence. We need
closure. And
maybe Jonathan enter can be the one to
supply it.
And now that I've delivered the facts, I
might as well give my own thoughts on
the story itself.
And I think you guys are probably
wondering, well, who do I agree with? Am
I on the side of is Saber Spark innocent
or is Sabra Spark
guilty? I don't know. That's the whole
point of this section of the
video. We do not know for 100%
clarity if Saber Spark is
innocent. And I feel like that's the
important
matter
because we don't know if this is true or
not. We don't know if real people were
actually affected or
not. Because at the end of the day, it's
not a matter if, oh, one of my favorite
YouTubers has been accused of these
horrible crimes or whatever. It's the
fact that real people have gotten
hurt or real people could have gotten
hurt.
But the thing is, we still don't
know.
But regardless on if Saber Spark did
this or
not, the fact
that over on Twitter people were legit
cheering for his
downfall and making memes at it.
All that really does is
just diminish the actual
victims who again we don't even know are
real. So if Saber Spark is guilty then
you're celebrating an innocent man being
accused of being a
rapist. But if he's
guilty,
then you're you're celebrating the
downfall of a man while his victims are
still suffering.
And I will admit that a lot of this does
come from the already pre-existing Sabr
hate which has been popping up a lot
lately because you know some could say
that his recent videos have been a
little cringy especially with the
thumbnails.
But honestly my opinion on Saber Sparks
videos don't really matter here. What
matters is the
facts. And right now, the facts are in
Saber Spark's
favor. But we are not done
yet. And with that
said, I think I'll end the video
here. Let me know what you all think of
this entire mess that is the Saber Spark
situation.
And hopefully
the Mr. Anner video is out by the time
I'm finished with this film, this video.
And if any of you guys watching this
video have any additional
information on the Saber Spark
situation, then please feel free to
