TW: CP,CSA,SUICIDE

TW: topics of grooming, pedophilia, child sexual assault, child porn, suicidal intent, incest and Nazi imagery please do not read if you are below 18

If you are a minor, please do not defend us or get involved. We will handle this. We will stand strong, but you must not put yourself at risk for us. We will be okay.

This document addresses the recent allegations against us and Gabriel Brown.

I will be censoring names where possible. Please do NOT harass anyone mentioned in this document.

For the past ten years, Gabriel Brown has been the target of a coordinated harassment campaign led by a group of individuals who have used 4chan as a base to spread misinformation, twist narratives, and fuel targeted attacks. This is not just about one person. BronyFandont (also known as Bonk6/HelenaHyena) is just one of many actively involved in this campaign. This group, which includes Sophie Scruggs, has worked together to sustain these attacks.

Additionally, BronyFandont has commissioned artwork from an artist known for creating explicit depictions of minors. While I have only found one specific piece tied to him, the fact that this artist specializes in this type of content raises serious ethical concerns. Furthermore, BronyFandont has openly defended the creation of such material, making his stance on this issue clear.

I know many of you have already formed an opinion, but I urge you to approach this with an open mind and review the entire document in full before making a judgment. Context matters. You will soon see why individuals like BronyFandont and those in his circle should not be trusted.

What This Document Will Cover

Addressing the false claim that we "kept a pedophile in our Discord for money" – Where this accusation originated and what actually happened.
The origins of the harassment campaign – How this effort began, the role of 4chan in spreading misinformation, and how these attacks have been sustained over time.
The individuals behind this campaign – Their connections, roles, and how they coordinate their efforts to target us.
A direct response to each allegation – Providing our side of the story along with supporting evidence.
Claire’s personal account of her experiences with abuse – Supported by evidence from a source who cannot be named
James' inappropriate comments – taking accountability and why we do not stand by how he handled it

This is not something I ever wanted to write. I have always had the full story, but I never expected this situation to escalate to such an extreme degree. I initially stepped back at Claire’s request, for her comfort, but I can no longer stay silent. Claire has now agreed for this to be published and helped us.

This will be our final statement on the matter.

The Individuals Involved in the Harassment Campaign

The harassment campaign against us and Gabriel Brown has been driven by a tight-knit group of individuals, including:

Wootmaster
Bonk6/BronyFandont/Helena Hyena
Purple Tinker
Sophie Scruggs
Amy New

Among this group, there is a disturbing pattern of associations with explicit and inappropriate content depicting minors:

Wootmaster is known for creating large amounts of extreme, violent, and explicit and sexual artwork involving minors, including gore-themed material.
Bonk6/BronyFandont has commissioned an explicit piece depicting Noelle from Deltarune from an artist who often draws CP.
Despite being aware of Wootmaster’s work, Bonk6/BronyFandont frequently defends him, publicly arguing that "drawn CP does not involve real kids" and should be considered acceptable.
Purple Tinker left social media in 2023 after facing backlash for controversial statements about statutory rape and the legal classification of minors.
Sophie Scruggs and Amy New have actively participated in spreading false allegations and misinformation, working closely with the individuals above to harass and discredit us.

This raises serious ethical concerns about the people involved in this harassment campaign and the kind of content they actively create, defend, and circulate. While they attempt to position themselves as credible voices, their own history and associations paint a very different picture.

“The 100$ Patreon Pledge”

This segment will purely focus on giving our side of the story regarding the above accusation. It does not address Gabriel, but I would advise you to still read through it. Sophie Scruggs and Bronyfandont confidently shared this story to thousands of people despite it being false. I think it gives insight to our character and theirs.

As you have probably seen over the last few days, some posts went viral accusing us of keeping a pedophile on our discord server for a 100$ monthly patreon pledge. The evidence given was a cropped screenshot that did not even support the narrative they gave.

I’m not sure what drives a person to lie with such confidence. This post has been

viewed 367,000 times, retweeted 1300 times and has 12,000 likes as of March 1st 2025 and was retweeted and shared by Sophie Scruggs multiple times.

Thankfully, we have mod logs of this accusation. Not only did this not happen, the mod logs show that the mod team went above and beyond into investigating a claim of pedophilia and grooming with zero evidence. Not only was there zero evidence, but the people involved did not report this issue to the mod team and instead chose to cause havoc in the general chat by pinging the alleged groomer asking him to play Splatoon over and over, upsetting other members in the server and disrupting everything. They have previously tried to call us out on Twitter back in 2023 but with a different statement.

You will see here that the name of the person is Zodiac

This situation had the moderators baffled. If this person is accused of grooming, why would they not contact us immediately? It's irresponsible and dangerous to leave it unreported. At this point we knew nothing. A moderator inquired in the general chat.

They did not tell us he was a potential predator or groomer, instead calling him an old friend. The moderators were unsatisfied with this answer and sent direct messages to everyone involved to get their side of the story.

The first person did not respond at all, and ignored the moderator completely. Here is the message they transcribed.

“Hey I’m - a moderator for Billie Bust Up. Just checking in to ask why you joined the server and immediately pinged a member requesting DMs. We’ve had a lot of reports of people receiving unsolicited DMs regarding this member, so I’m trying to gather information as to why. We do have strict rules on bringing external drama into our server, but we also want to do what we can to keep everyone safe”

Their accusation states that we said “we don’t want drama on the server, and he’s giving us 100$ a month”. This is a lie.

1 - We had no context to the surrounding situation. We constantly have people bringing petty personal arguments into the server, not related to serious issues such as grooming. At the time of this message, no one from the accuser’s side had contacted us, only stating that he is an “old friend”.

2 - We specified in our message that although “we avoid allowing external drama in the server, we wanted to make sure everyone was safe”, hence why we were reaching out, as grooming accusations are more serious than external drama.

3 - There is NO mention of Patreon support.

The first person never responded to us, the second one however, did.

The statement that there was legitimate documentation is false. In fact we asked several times for evidence. The following screenshots will show you the entire uncropped conversation. The only reason they are in pieces is because that was how they were shared in the original leadership chat. But you’ll see the conversation flows naturally between each crop.

Once again, this person only stated they were old friends who played splatoon together. It wasn’t until Zodiac told us that it was part of a harassment campaign that the accusers told us he was a groomer. We asked for evidence. When owning a public server, you have to look into both sides to avoid facilitating and perpetuating a harassment campaign if the allegations turn out to be false. And false allegations do happen. It's important to listen and respect victims but first you must know who the victim is. On top of being unable to provide evidence that Cory is Zodiac beyond speculation, the way the accusers acted at points felt at odds with the severity of the accusations themselves. A victim would not seek out their abuser, but an abuser would seek out their victim. These two claim to not want anyone else to be hurt, but from our perspective, merely came into the server to harass a member.

Here are the spoilered images they sent

The screenshots were disturbing, but the twitter account they sent was suspended, and there was no proof that this account belonged to Zodiac.

The only evidence we were given were cropped screenshots from a suspended account on twitter. No police reports, no full names, nothing. They stated that Zodiac must be Cory because

The twitter account says he loves Cult of the Lamb

We had no proof that Zodiac likes Cult of the Lamb and even if he did, that proves nothing.

They type the same

We looked into Zodiacs entire posting history in the server, he did not type the same

He has the same name

Cory and Zodiac are not the same name, and Zodiac never called himself Cory on our server.

Additionally they stated the person who groomed them was 20 years old, but the twitter screenshot they gave us stated they were 22.

Despite the lack of evidence we wanted to do our due diligence and opted to use the way back machine to see if we could view the now suspended twitter account to see if we could find a way to link this twitter account to Zodiac.

During this time they called us out on twitter, stating we asked for a confession. We did not. We only asked for evidence connecting those two accounts, proving Zodiac was who they claimed.

I was starting to lose patience. They openly lied about the situation on twitter which ruined their credibility to me. The mods were becoming frustrated, we only needed one screenshot, one direct message between them, anything to ban him if proven guilty.

“I have no reason to want to keep a pedo here, I want to protect our kids…” I also point out that instead of going to the police they took it to our discord and started bringing it up in our general chat instead of bringing it to the moderators.

We voted, did we want to kick him from the server without evidence? We were nervous to risk our server members' safety, we did not personally know him.

The vote was split, so we put him on the watchlist and decided to investigate further. During this time he quit the server. We noticed when his username turned into weird code inside the watch list.

That is where the situation ended. Patreon was never a part of this, but to really prove this further to you. I don’t keep track of people’s pledge amounts, and our moderation decisions are not made depending on a person's financial support.

You can’t even track a person's pledge to their discord account. I have had issues in the past where a user has leaked patreon content in the server and I have struggled to find their patreon account to ban it. You cannot see a person's discord account via the patreon, and you cannot see someone's patreon account via the discord. I would have to know the user's email to check their pledge.

I looked at my relationship manager and searched “Zodiac” to see if anyone of that name supported us, and the only one person listed here, and this person supported the project a year after this happened.

I also want to point out that we banned a member of our server with a £4,500 kickstarter pledge 12th January 2025 with zero hesitation and will be refunding them for it.

“So needless to say he’s out of here and we’re refunding his mini boss”

Ash was proactive in investigating the situation before a member reached out for help. As shown above. Money is NEVER a deciding factor on if a person remains in our discord.

4Chan

4Chan and Gabriel Brown

We will be shining a light onto accounts like BronyFandont, Wootmaster and Sophie Scruggs, and how their evidence against Gabe originates from 4Chan. We will be covering the evidence in a later segment, please bear with me for now.

Background:

The Brony fandom historically started in the forums of 4Chan. There was an entire board dedicated on the website called /mlp/. They would often talk about being “jealous of Gabriel Brown” and “wanting to fuck Michelle and Claire”, who were minors at the time. Wootmaster was an active member on /mlp/ and has made inappropriate sexual comments about Claire and Michelle

Much of the evidence Bronyfandont uses originally spawned from 4chan. 4chan has a long history of fabricating claims as it is an unmoderated forum famous for its trolling. They targeted Michelle and Gabe often and are an unreliable source of information, sometimes even fabricating evidence to troll them. Here are some examples of users on the website talking about Claire, Michelle, and Gabe.

I believe a lot of the accusations from some of these people come from a place of projection. They believe Gabe likes minors because they like minors.

During the time 4chan were constantly theorising on Gabe and Michelle’s relationship and posting about it under their videos. Michelle told me that she found this to be highly uncomfortable.

Michelle and Gabriel have a close relationship, and I would describe their relationship as like siblings. I spent a short period of time with them this January, roughly 3 weeks. Together, we went on adventures and I got to know Michelle a bit better, as well as see a bit of the dynamic between her and Gabriel. The two banter as siblings would, but the trust between them is nothing short of familial. And had I not known better, I would have assumed they were family. It is clear this is how Michelle views their relationship as well, which is something Michelle has spoken about publicly before. When I consider my experience alongside Michelle's statement, it's hard to imagine anything sinister happening behind the scenes. Of course this does not mean it impossible, but I hope to quell further doubts in my next section.

Gabe would spend hours arguing in the comments, getting mad at people saying disgusting things about Michelle. As you saw in the 4chan segment, people made sexual comments about Michelle and this would upset him. They insisted that the only reason he wasn’t dating her was due to the age of consent. Michelle and Gabe have never dated, and they never will.

Gabe and Michelle were performance partners. Often singing and working together as they shared the same agent (Caroline Young) and manager (Monique Creber, Michelle's mother). This started when Gabe left the Navy in 2013 and was

left without a job. He wanted to look into a career in professional music. Monique approached Gabe and said that she managed Michelle's career and could help boost his career too. After working together at BronyCon in 2013, she offered him their guest room while he established himself in Vancouver. Due to being fresh out of the Navy, he was without a home or a job and took her up on the offer.

“Anyway, if all goes according to plan, I'll be leaving Japan (and the Navy) in early October of this year and will be looking for jobs again…”

Michelle's Story

Michelle’s Story

As I'm sure you know, Michelle was present. She has first hand experience of what happened between Gabe and Claire. She knows what happened, not the people who assume what happened in their relationship. Here is her testimony that she has asked me to include

“Gabe has never taken advantage of either of us”

The Group

Over the past five years, a dedicated and tightly knit group has worked together to defame Gabriel Brown and his close friends. While some of their actions appear to be projection, others within their circle may be unaware of the full extent of their mutuals' behavior.

We will be shining a light on the individuals involved in this campaign and their roles:

Woot_master – An artist known for creating explicit and violent artwork involving minors, including gorey child pornography (CP). He was an active member of 4chan's /mlp/ and has made sexually inappropriate comments about minors including Claire and Michelle.

Bonk6 / BronyFandont / Helena Hyena – The central figure in this group. He has commissioned explicit artwork of a fictional minor from an artist known for drawing CP, repeatedly defended the creation of drawn CP and Zoophilia, and regularly associates with and protects others in this group.

Purple Tinker – A known figure in the Brony fandom who left social media in 2023 after facing backlash for controversial comments about statutory rape.

Sophie Scruggs – Has played a major role in spreading false accusations, using her platform to misrepresent facts and information

This section will explore their roles, connections, and tactics in this ongoing effort.

Claire's Story

This person is the only one who personally knows Gabe and Claire. They have intimidated them into silence before with threats against their physical well being.

I have previously vouched and have seen the evidence, however, we were called liars for standing up for her. We will now show you a small snippet of it. We show these with Claire’s permission. We are upset that she has to show a part of her personal trauma online. It is unfair.

The person in this picture uses burner accounts to spread a false narrative about Claire and Gabriel Brown. Here is a conversation between two people who started these accusations in which they talk about the approach they should take to intentionally spread false grooming allegations. This happened in 2020, soon after Gabe and Claire got together.

“The other theory, which I honestly think is an easier “sell” is: Fell in love (and perhaps was groomed) as a 13 year old. Then was nurtured (by him) and now is blind to all the red flags.

Selling him as a pedo is tough.

Just trying to be analytical”

We also have a voice note from when the person from the screen caps above was confronted about the burner accounts (TW, verbal abuse):

Personal information has been censored, listen to the message here, you’ll need to request access.

Audio Message Transcription Part 1 (Recorded April 2nd, 2020)

“I think the people that need to be called out when they’re full of it, and frankly, there's a huge component of his followers that go ‘what the hell are you tweeting at 3 in the morning for? It’s not like he’s on tour in REO Speedwagon and they’re playin’ gigs ‘til 2 AM. He’s. doing. nothing!”

Notice how their main concern is not grooming? It comes across as jealousy. It appears that this all started because this man thought Gabriel Brown “was full of it”.

Audio Message Transcription Part 2 (Recorded April 2nd, 2020)

“If you come back… first of all, for 14 days, quarantined, in your fuckin’ room. Bye.

(I have one more thing)

Shut up!

What do you have now?

Why isn’t THAT strange.

What is, what is all this bullshit? ‘Oh, I’m gonna go into family therapy like this, la la la la la!’ What a fuckin’… What a fuckin’ liar!

You said family therapy! Bullshit! You liar!

Fucking liar! You’ve got nothin’ (unintelligible)! I know you’re going to try to equate (unintelligible)… FUCK OFF!”

Claire decided to leave during family therapy as she felt unsafe trying to leave home otherwise. They mock her then cuss her out as they slam the door. She had been dealing with years of abuse at this point. The transcription does not give a sense of tone, but it is aggressive and frightening. The abuser uses a mocking tone, “You’ve got nothin’ ..!”, not realising she has the pictures shown above.

“There wasn’t any abuse to talk about. Aside from saying abuse happened.”

He says that their abuse was “reasonable”

The person on this recording is still using burner accounts today. He has a record of using multiple at a time.

The screenshots below show BronyFandont on his main account, Helena Hyena aka Bonk6.

Here he says that Claire’s story is “vague and unspecific”. That their abuse was them simply trying to protect Claire.

This is the same person. On one account he says you need to believe victims or you are a piece of shit, and on his main account he doubts Claire's testimony of her abuse.

We have now seen proof of Claire's abuse. Something he pressured her into having to show.

Claire and Gabriel are now worried for their physical safety as a result of this.

Up to this point, no one has believed her. Including BronyFandont/Bonk6 and Sophie Scruggs. Sophie sided with her abuser.

Woot_master

WootMaster

As a disclaimer, this segment features cropped pictures of drawn CP. It, however, provides a lot of important context about the allegations against Gabriel Brown. We understand that some viewers may still find those images upsetting, but reading this section is advised for having a rounded understanding of the situation moving forward. Of course, as we broach subjects such as grooming, read at your own discretion.

Wootmaster was the first person to create a thread that openly called Gabriel a potential groomer and pedophile. He has since deleted this thread after Michelle confronted him. He is a pedophile with a history of drawing gorey pornography of child characters from the show My Little Pony, and is close friends with BronyFandont/Bonk6, as well as mutuals with Sophie Scruggs

He has tried his best to delete his history, but the wayback machine allows us a small peek into the content he was drawing and engaging in.

He used to theorize and fantasize about Gabe and Michelle sleeping together, after finding out he was dating Claire he posted inappropriate and sexual comments about Michelle, Claire and the minor characters they played in the show MLP. He made several inappropriate jokes regarding CSA. I want to point out that Bronyfandont/Bonk6 is open friends with this person and defends him frequently, but he has also engaged in commissioning people for porn of minor characters. We will cover more on him later. The screenshots I took are from Gabe's account as I was logged into it during the investigation.

Some more art that Wootmaster has drawn along with some people talking about his behaviour online, lending themselves to how pervasive his image has been before and beyond the allegations. It’s hard to find everything as he has done his best to cover his tracks.

WARNING: CROPPED DRAWN CHILD PORN, FEATURES GORE

Wootmaster used to openly run a tumblr blog about a character named Tracy, who raped and abused young kids in art that he drew.

He would post to 4chan and take requests (“Yo. Wootmaster here”).

He has tried his best to delete his history, but the wayback machine allows us a small sneak peek into the content he was drawing and engaging in.Some more art that Wootmaster has drawn along with some people talking about his behaviour online, lending themselves to how pervasive his image has been before and beyond the allegations. It’s hard to find everything as he has done his best to cover his tracks.

I want to point out that Bronyfandont/Bonk6 is open friends with this person and defends him frequently.

BronyFandont/Bonk6/Helena Hyena/MLP_Screwy

Bonk6/BronyFandont/Helena Hyena

“Because it’s not “literally child porn”. It’s not “literally a child at all”. In this excerpt he admits that he is Bonk (from 4Chan).

Bonk6 (or Brony Fandont) is the ringleader of all of this, he is obsessed with Gabriel, Claire, and Michelle, along with the people who associate with them. A lot of what he does seems to come from a personal grudge and not from a genuine place of compassion or concern for people. He has made me feel unsafe, and has consistently broken boundaries.

Bonk6/BronyFandont/Helena Hyena often engages with Wootmaster online, even now, fully aware of his history and pornographic art. He defends him often.

If you scroll back far enough in the BronyFandont account, you will see instances of him roleplaying with another person. He roleplays Screwy, a minor, who dates a 19 year old that used magic to age himself down to date her.

“Age is just a number”? He’s literally defending pedophilia.

He has also commissioned porn of a minor character from Deltarune, Noelle. The artist he commissioned draws a lot of porn of minor characters and I would not recommend looking it up.

Previous False Allegations

BronyFandont/Bonk6/Helena Hyena has a history of spreading misinformation as fact. Here is an example of this.

He posted a link to a song with a thumbnail of cropped childporn with no content warnings on his tweet or page and claimed that Gabriel was singing it. Anyone who clicks on his page would be exposed to this. The picture was of the cutie mark crusaders, one depicted Sweetie Belle with her face covered in semen. These characters are minors. Does this man really care about the safety of children when he’s willing to put them at risk? His actions speak louder than his words.

The first clue here that this isn’t real is that the icon for the channel looks a lot like “Green Anon”

“True/Old Anonymous (or Anonymous or Anon) refers to a personification of anonymous users on 4chan as a faceless green man in a suit.”

It was pretty obvious that this was once again 4Chan messing with Gabe, as I mentioned earlier, 4chan is known for intentionally fabricating evidence

The original version of the song was tracked down, posted 2 years earlier, this fake one does not have the thumbnail, but the lyrics of the song have been changed to be disturbing and involve singing about having sex with the characters played by Michelle and Claire in My Little Pony.

The song sounded nothing like Gabe, a professional singer. It was out of key and poorly sung. BronyFandont must be able to hear the difference, but shared it anyway. He only ended up removing it after someone found the original. But the damage was already done, some people still believe this original video was him because the correction was made via subtweet and was barely seen.

Here is a direct message where BronyFandont/Bonk6/Helena says that he has “never made up information about Gabriel”, but as we can see above, this is untrue.

Contradictions

BronyFandont/Bonk6/Helena will constantly change his arguments to fit the narrative he’s trying to sell people. It’s hard to see when you’re talking to him one on one, especially when he's making 80 tweets a day regarding the situation.

Here he says Gabe groomed Claire but says there is no proof of grooming on his main account.

BronyFandont/Bonk6/HelenaHyena was openly skeptical of a victim, and implied that Claire's real abuser was abusive for her “own good”. Bonk6 does not believe all victims, but he will if it benefits the narrative he wants to sell.

These statements are just one day apart. First he says no one is asking you to believe a victims story without proof, then he says if you don’t believe victims you are a piece of shit.

Bonk6/BronyFandont/Helena says if Gabe takes him to court “it will not go well for him” and “it would look suspicious” but also he does “not believe the legal system would agree”

BronyFandont/Bonk6 would call Gabe guilty for continuing to post as normal. Calling people to attack him under each of his tweets, and would relentlessly post under every single one of Gabe's posts and replies.

Whilst also implying we were guilty for NOT posting: Guilty if you post, guilty if you don’t post. There is no logic or thought going on here - just hate.

It became clear that no matter what we did, he would twist it to fit his narrative. It was an impossible standard—one designed to make sure there was no “correct” way for us to respond.

Even when we said we were making a response we were shamed for making one.

Obsession

In the last 30 days he has made 974 tweets, the majority were talking about Gabe and Claire. With roughly 70-80 tweets a day about this. This is not normal behaviour, especially when he’s talking about a man he only knows via the internet. He has made members of our server feel uncomfortable and unsafe. We feel like we don't know what he’s capable of.

He breaks boundaries and treats this like a game. At one point during this he came into our discord server and directly messaged several members with the “NO DM” tag, including Ash, despite already being blocked by some of them on other social media platforms. Members reached out to tell us how it made them feel uncomfortable. He was swiftly removed from the server.

I find his relationship with Claire and Gabe to be parasocial. He accuses random Twitter accounts of being Claire because he wants her attention. Then tags Gabe trying to speak to him, despite Gabe ignoring him and not responding.

He even went as far as to join Claire's Patreon despite knowing she was uncomfortable with him. He found ways to contact her despite her discomfort.

“I have met you, Claire”, this is creepy. Claire does not know who this person is. This is stalking.

It’s worth noting he’s not even talking to Claire here, it's a random twitter account he keeps calling Claire. He wants it to be. Why do I know it's not her? Because I was sitting next to her in person when these two accounts first interacted. BronyFandont/Bonk6 has also called another random twitter account James. He seems to be paranoid, he often calls us conspiracy theorists, but everything he does is projection.

He has been obsessed with Gabe for years, and at this point I feel he is psychologically inclined to. Gabe has become his white whale.

Mind Games

Before the allegations came out he sent a message to both Claire’s Patreon and her Twitter DMs. Which I felt broke her clear boundaries with him. Gabe and Claire ignored it as they were completely confused. What was he trying to achieve with this? He so desperately wanted their attention. What was this really about?

He tweeted on his BronyFandont account that he had news to share, after counting down on Claire's messages like some big event. Why time it at all? Why imply Gabe needed to reach out to prevent him from sharing it? Damning evidence should not be withheld when your goal is supposedly to protect people. Flippancy aside, he had timed the ‘release’ so that it would go live just before Gabe's Q&A at a convention. This felt like mind games.

He liked to make threats and tried to intimidate us into responding early. This is not a fair campaign. Publicly denouncing Gabe would ruin his entire career, once again, why the timer? Why was he already marked as guilty?

“You sound like a commie SJW liberal snowflake cuck”. That’s the kind of accusation that the Far Right makes on X - looks like this may also be a political attack.

What seems odd to me, is that after days of pressuring us to release the statement faster, they didn’t even want one. They didn’t want a response. Even stating that their document will be “bigger”. Treating this like some weird competition in the shadow of grooming allegations.

I broke down to the moderators the other day. I had heard people in our community were feeling suicidal, including young kids. This game is a comfort for so many, or at least it was. We kept things safe, we did what we did to protect them.

I was using voice notes throughout this to make sure my tone was correctly conveyed.

Bonk6/BronyFandont does not censor this person's name, a person he believes is a child. Asking people to not seek them out means nothing. He openly mocks them. This serves no purpose, why does he need to put them on blast publicly? What does it achieve other than to intimate and silence people in speaking out? He will belittle anyone who disagrees with him. This is how he controls the narrative. If this entire movement is to help children, I have yet to see it.

It’s worth noting he also belittles victims like Claire. He randomly insults her musical for no reason. Here is an account he believed to be Claire. It is not Claire, I know this because I was with her in real life when I first saw him arguing with them. You will see later on that he has a pattern of projecting an identity onto random people online. He wants Claire's attention.

So many people were put under the spotlight by him and retracted their tweets because of him, then he mocked them when they had to lock their accounts. I’m not sure what drives someone to dedicate years of their life to this, but his actions have only caused harm.

Purple Tinker

Purple Tinker quit twitter in 2023

Source

I noted that she seems to have connections to woot_master and SophieAScruggs also. She spent years relentlessly attacking Gabe and was the one who came up with the accusation that Gabe intentionally kicked Claire in the face, which we will directly address in the Allegations portion of the document. It is important to note that it seems Sophie and Purple had a falling out at some point in time, but communicated often before that point. Sophie's tweets are now deleted

I am unable to investigate this fully, it seems a lot of the original threads have been fully deleted

(It's worth noting that they seem to have fallen out at some point and all of Sophie's tweets between them are gone, but there are screenshots of them mocking Gabe

Known Connections

Here woot_master draws her an image.

I can’t find a past connection with BronyFandont/Bonk6, she only has him mentioned in chains where most of the comments are now deleted

Sophie Scruggs

I should start by noting that Sophie only follows 223 people on Bluesky, yet follows, associates and interacts with both Wootmaster and BronyFandont (Bonk6). Two people with a history related to drawing,commissioning and defending drawn child porn. She has been a large part of promoting and pushing this campaign against Gabe. Often pinging us on social media and sharing and interacting with BronyFandonts posts.

Sophie seems to be suffering a lot from her own trauma which must be incredibly tough to deal with. But she often spreads misinformation, even if unintentional this is dangerous and can often harm other victims, and previously has publicly supported the person that abused Claire, opting to believe them over Claire.

Allegations

Here I will put together a response to each allegation

Part of the tactics of the people behind this is to lie about lots of random small details. People wonder why this document is so long? Because people have been making things up for so long. When there are so many countless baseless accusations, how are you meant to tackle this? Perhaps some aren’t lies and are innocent misinterpretations of the evidence, but they are presented to the public as facts.

I would once again recommend reading each tab. It presents a pattern in which BronyFandont/Bonk6/HelenaHyena and Sophie Scruggs consistently and often intentionally misrepresent information. Either by exaggerating the facts or using circumstantial evidence to form an opinion.

The Kwite situation is often used as an example on why it is important to wait for more information to come out before casting judgement on someone. It is innocent until proven guilty. The entire internet turned against Kwite before he had time to put together his case. They attacked, doxxed, and treated him as if he were already guilty, only to find out he was innocent once the full story was out. You have just seen an example of that happening with us, where someone lied and told everyone we accepted a bribe so a groomer can stay in our server. This does not mean that we should not listen to victims, it does not mean we should not investigate, but that we need to wait for the full picture before we react.

From personal experience, acting this way can cause irreversible damage. We had to try and research this situation whilst being hounded to respond faster, whilst we were being told we were horrible people and that we were doing everything wrong, despite our best efforts. What was the intent behind rushing this.

I believe that BronyFandont was never in pursuit of justice or truth. He has caused more harm than good by consistently mudding the waters with petty and baseless accusations on top of serious ones. He does no due diligence to ensure that what he is sharing is factual. We saw an example of this when they shared the false accusation that we were keeping groomers in our server for money and the time he accused Gabe of singing a song about “being intimate with foals” aka minor characters from the show My Little Pony.

Kicking Claire

“Gabe Kicked Claire in the Face”

Bonk has tweeted hundreds of times that Gabriel Brown “kicked Claire in the head”. Bonk has no evidence of this, just a video of Gabe on a paraglider without Claire in view.

This was a classic game of internet telephone. This accusation started as Gabe throwing someone out of a paramotor. As someone who knows Gabe, he is extremely safe.

But of course we know this isn’t true, because then the video came out. I won’t link it to avoid this person facing harassment and I’m sure it didn’t come from a malicious place.

But let's look at the video from another angle, Claire reaches out to grab his foot.

For people who don’t know, this is called a Paramotor high five/handshake/foot grab. A trick where you grab another paramotor pilot's foot mid flight. Both Claire and Gabe are paramotor pilots who have their own kits and set up. Claire often flies by herself too.

Gabe's Wedding

“I Went to Gabe's Wedding”

This then turned into:

It jumped from just me going to Gabe's wedding to at least two going to his wedding.

We didn’t go to Gabe and Claire’s wedding, I have no clue where this came from. There is no evidence for it. I can only assume it's because I went to my OWN wedding with my husband who is also coincidentally named Gabriel?

He also implies that Daniel is now on our team because of Gabe. Daniel was on our team before Gabe.

Girl Scout Cookies

This is a hypothetical conversation that got 517 likes, that isn’t even close to what happened.

I have a voice note Gabe sent to his brother after the interaction. He was happy that he wasn’t known. His brother is half of BlackGryph0n and works on the music, too. During it he recounts what actually happened.

“What do you do for work?”

“I’m a musician.”

“What do you play?”

“My brother and I have a band.”

“What's the band called?”

“It’s called BlackGryph0n and Baasik.”

…

“What kind of songs?”

“Well, I think a big hit a few years ago is Insane.”

“Insane is literally my favorite song!”

…

“These kids had no idea who I was but they knew all of our stuff!”

Someone backing up they usually ask questions:

BronyFandont went to Claire's Instagram to try and find a way to try and escalate this situation. They were shopping in Walmart and Claire begged to buy some cookies. She also wanted to help promote them on her platform to help them get more sales. This doesn’t make them bad people. It takes a person like Brony Fandont to turn something so innocent into an accusation. He has nothing: no evidence, no proof of any of his claims. He just stalks Claire’s social media in search of anything he can clip and twist. These are not the actions of someone who cares about victims

The girls don’t know Gabe, they know his songs, not him, you can hear that in the voice note.

Gabe's recent work does not show his face.

As a personal testimony I have to say that Gabe is the exact opposite of some big headed egotistical creator. Gabe is larger than life. He’s always jumping out of planes, going on adventures and exploring, but that doesn’t make him self-absorbed.

You can hear that in the voice note he sent his brother too, he’s actually excited and happy they don’t know him. He thinks it's healthy that he can just create music without the need for recognition. In fact I’ve had discussions with him in which I try to encourage him to promote himself more. He refuses. He says he does not feel comfortable trying to sell himself online.

We’re Deleting Tweets

“We’re Deleting Tweets”

We had one bad person on the team, and he was kicked from the project. The implication we have multiple is untrue. And, on that point, we feel this screenshot encapsulates Fandont's tendency to alter little bits and pieces of facts each time it’s parroted until nothing factual remains. We don’t keep predators on our team. We don’t defend predators. We do our due diligence when it comes to recruiting. The statement “they have had many predators working for them” is factually untrue.

At the time of Bronfandont's tweet Ash had been inactive for just over 2 weeks, not 3 weeks. BronyFandont exaggerates and he does so often. The reason why Ash has been inactive is because he sent hoards of people to attack them and belittle them. Then mocked their need to use tone tags and emojis to communicate with a server member about the ongoing allegations. He made a point to demand we communicate then mocked us and called us liars when we did. It was an impossible game to win that we did not want to play.

He implies Ash is deleting tweets, they haven’t. Why would they delete tweets? They still have all the tweets where they’re hanging with Gabe still up. Would they not be deleting these too?

My guess is that people were deleting their BBU art so that it didn’t display on the BBU main page during the controversy. Retweets are counted on your tweet count on twitter. It’s understandable that people don’t want their art featured on our page during all this. Sadly I can’t prove this, but when I checked the BBU twitter recently I noticed a bunch of art made by our community was now missing. To back this up check the social blade. See the huge increase in people unfollowing us next to the massive drop in tweets being removed? This was most likely our community members removing their BBU art from their timeline or the result of being blocked.

The last tweet we made was 22nd January. BronyFandont implies that we stopped posting on our main site because of the allegations. We stopped posting long before this started because we were unhappy with the current state of the platform. We didn’t retweet any new fantart after the controversy started so we wouldn’t put members of our community on blast during this.

This claim is just another example of clutching at anything and fabrication to make his victims look bad.

We're Blocking People

“We're Blocking People”

I don’t block many people, and we didn’t block anyone on the BBU twitter during this. Amy did correct herself later to say I blocked her after that last document was made in September 2024.

I don’t have much to say other than I blocked Amy New because she associates with the people from the 4Chan /mlp/ tag

You can check all her tweets interacting with them here:

Considering some of these people's history with drawn child porn, I am not comfortable having someone like this following or interacting with us.

We're Banning People

“We're Banning People”

We did ban this person, but not for bringing up the topic or for asking for a response. They also had multiple warnings. They were completely inactive for a year then came back to accuse us of intentionally brushing things under the rug for a rule we have had for YEARS.

This all started when BronyFandont/Bonk6 stated the following. We have never lied to our audience, and we have always had this rule in our server.

We were not silent. People already knew we knew the truth. How am I meant to just drop everything and make a huge document overnight? In the original tweet you can see Ash acknowledging the situation. How is this silence? It is a direct acknowledgement by one of us that we are aware of the situation and that it wont be brushed under the rug.

Our Discord is a verified and partnered server, which means discord has looked into our community and moderation. To be verified means your server is checked by official discord staff to ensure you are running it in accordance with their guidelines.

We have constantly taken steps to ensure the minors in our server are safe. When our server started to grow Ash noticed minors sharing selfies on our server and pushed to have the rules updated to keep them safe. Along with general internet safety rules.

This is not “bullshit”, we have proven time and time again that this is a rule in our server. Even Bronyfandont himself links to our statement on Ridi where the exact same rule is stated in the announcement.

Even in the past we have asked minors to step away from defending us because it has put them in contact with such terrible topics. This is not some new rule we brought in to manipulate people.

If someone was polite, I would respond politely back. But it was hard when our words were cropped twisted or if we were shamed for using emojis to establish tone.

Ezra did not want a response, or a dialogue, they wanted to be angry, and made several users in the chat uncomfortable that they started to ping the mods. They were warned the first time and several users spoke up telling them to stop. People did not want these topics on the server. The moderator directed them to the official email to report this incident. They did not email me.

People asked for him to stop and pinged one of our mods

The moderators stepped in after people in the server pinged them. Multiple people expressed discomfort in the chat, with someone mentioning they were a minor. I do not understand why we need to talk about adult topics extensively in our general chat. What is the benefit? For what purpose?

He said he would email me. He didn’t. He came back 3 days later and started again.

Tagging us directly. I don’t understand what they wanted from this. We had already acknowledged we were looking into it.

A moderator prompted him to email us again

They then went to Ash’s twitter to confront them:

Despite the fact Ash wasn’t silent and they knew that?

This isn’t silence, check the dates, in fact the initial post that made Ezra angry was this very post

They finally emailed me after they were banned. Note that they didn’t even link me to the evidence they mentioned

Here are some responses from server members who have given their consent for the messages to be shown. We were reaching out to 18+ community members to give them more context and information.

They knew us, they knew how we responded last time, and they know the type of people we are. The people in our discord community were calm, patient, and were kept informed when we were able to. We personally reached out to some people in DMs purely to ease their anxiety on the matter, sharing information early.

“Sexual Yoga”

This source he used was taken straight from 4chan itself. See the “BRAZZERS” logo, which was clearly added maliciously by this anonymous 4chan user - no doubt to fuel their own abhorrent sexual desires. More evidence here that Brony Fandont is one of the 4chan abusers.

Brony Fandont calls this sexual yoga, priming anyone who views this to preemptively see it as sexual based on that alone. This is not sexual, and, ironically, is a case of Fandont sexualizing a minor.

Lets look at the actual video,Gabe was talking to the camera and quickly glances at them before going back to the camera.

4chan has spent 10 years trying to defame Gabe. Every time I investigate evidence about Gabe it's something cropped and out of context, a static image of a video, or someone uploading something under his name that he didn’t do, like the All Star song. Cropping and editing are not the actions of someone looking for the truth - it’s what you do when you want to spin a false narrative.

This video was shot at the same time as The Whisper Challenge, which was advertised at the end of the video.

Reaching Out

“We Didn’t Reach Out”

We reached out through a third party, however we were informed that Destiny and Sophie were not open to a dialogue, so I have not attempted to reach out again.

Transcription of emails:

Hi there!

I looked into it and checked Gabe's DMs personally but couldn’t find anything. I also used the way back machine to look at Gabe's tweets but couldn’t find anything of worth

I’d want more information to go off to be able to continue investigating

When did this happen? What year, what months. If they can’t remember what months, what season was it?

What timezone were they in at the time

How long was this going on for? It implies this was for a prolonged period of time. Was it for a few days, weeks, months, years?

This will help narrow down the search for evidence.

—

He might have deleted the conversation. But from what I know this happened before he met Claire, and their first video together seems to be from november 2014, so it would have to be before that. Gabe joined twitter in 2011, so it has to be after that. I contacted Sophie (the person I mentioned that claims to know the victim) and asked them to email you as I believe they have more info about this than I do. I hope you manage to solve this ^^

—

If the victim can contact me directly that would be preferred

—

Hi, it seems neither Sophie nor the victim are willing to talk about this right now unfortunately :( so all the information we have about this situation is what I told you

—

Thank you so much anyway! I really appreciate you reaching out and taking the time to inform me and keep me in the loop. Despite not finding anything I'm still combing through the way back machine to see if I can find anything and If I do I will let you know

We take allegations seriously and research them thoroughly. Before this situation, Destiny was actively involved in the Billie Bust Up fandom—engaging with the community and Gabriel. It wasn’t until the allegations came out in September that she made distance with us. We understand this alone does not discredit her allegations, but it did raise questions within the team.

Destiny was always welcome to reach out to me directly, but instead chose to communicate through BronyFandont. I sincerely apologise if I ever made anyone in our community feel that they cannot talk to me if they are feeling unsafe. However, BronyFandont acting as a third party has made this situation difficult and uncomfortable given the history we’ve already established.

Gabe is Alt Right

Gabe is Alt-right

I want to quickly add that I took a lot of screenshots on Gabe's account, that's why the promote button is there. I’m still logged in on his PC from my investigation.

Gabe is a member of LGBTQ+ community, and is working on a game (our game) that got on a list for being “too woke”. I don’t think he would be working on our game if he were Alt-right.

I think the issue is that Gabe likes to think people are capable of change, even hateful people. He’s explained this before:

These are not alt right beliefs. They are evidence of critical thinking and a complete absence of prejudice.

"Gabe had Millions of Subs"

“Gabe had Millions of Subs”

Gabe had 44,203 subs on Youtube and 8106 on Twitter during 2013, not a super important note but I pointed out earlier how this group of people exaggerate and twist everything.

James

James is an old friend from university, we founded the original Blueprint Games together after we graduated (2015) and it was originally just the two of us. Since then his role on Billie Bust Up is gameplay programming, he is not a producer, he is not involved in the management of the game, nor the finances. He helps make blueprints for the game. This is all clear via his bio. Sophie later noticed this error but only replied to the tweet rather than deleting it and reposting it with the corrected information. It is worth noting he was the co-founder of Blueprint games and not Billie Bust Up. Our first game was Relapse.

Here are screenshots from our development server over the last 4 years.

My message count in the dev server:

Ash's message count:

James’ message count.

James joined the server November 2020, that means that over his entire stay in the server he has sent roughly 1 message a day whilst myself and Ash have sent roughly 25 messages a day on average.

That being said, what James did was not okay. He now accepts it was wrong. He saw what me and Ash were going through and acted out. I’ll show you what happened behind the scenes.

I stormed to the office, snatching the phone from his hands and I deleted his twitter account. I am ashamed to say that after days of pent up exhaustion, lack of food, sleep, and harassment I had a meltdown in front of him.

TRIGGER WARNING: SUICIDAL INTENT, here are some voice notes from after this happened. For transparency, they are cut in places as some of the audio messages go into discussions about my relationship with my husband that get quite personal and are unrelated to this issue.

Above is a conversation between my husband and a family member. My meltdown in front of James caused him to break down in tears, something I’ve never seen him do before. Members of my family were mad at me, saying I broke him. James’ tweets shook our friendship, a friendship I have had with him for over 10 years. I felt betrayed by him, his comments were insensitive, unnecessary and petty. If you were hoping James was punished for his actions, he was. I feel bad for how I handled this. I try to not be a person who reacts emotionally, but after days of no sleep or food I snapped.

We don’t stand by the way James decided to handle this, myself and Ash are CSA victims, and we found his comments to be insensitive. There is no remaining evidence of my CSA either, and we don’t believe it is ok to simply dismiss people's feelings regarding this topic or to act so flippantly towards serious allegations.

James never was a mouthpiece for us or the project. People in our community know this, most of you didn’t know he existed until now. All communication has always been via myself and Ash. Our team consists of around 30+ people now, the actions of one man should not reflect our opinions. People have worked hard on this game. I’ve stated before that myself and Ash may be the creators of the game, but we did not create the game. This game is a team effort, and though we may guide the ship, it's the crew that put the work in to get it to shore.

"103 Tripods is James"

Earlier I said that BronyFandont/Bonk6 tends to project. He accused us of being conspiracy theorists, yet insists a random twitter account is James because it uses spelling used in not only the UK, but Australia, New Zealand, Canada and other commonwealth countries.

This is a conspiracy theory. I have been sitting next to James in the office and he is busy working on another upcoming deadline, he has not been on twitter. But to add further proof:

This account has been arguing with Brony Fandont before James even made his comments. Brony Fandont knows this. Why would James make a burner account and then swap to his main? That completely defeats the point of a burner.

If you have read the James segment, you’ll know how that went down behind the scenes. James has not been back on Twitter, and I know he deeply regrets what happened. He would not put our entire friendship at risk to be snide on Twitter after the way I screamed at him. He learnt his lesson. You’ve seen the chat logs from that day.

BronyFandont then continued to keep making a point that Tripods was James. This is confirmation bias. He wants it to be James despite the only evidence being circumstantial. Just like how he did with the other account he kept calling Claire. He implies the only person in the UK, Australia, Canada, New Zealand or the commonwealth who disagrees with him must be James. He is banking on it so he can continue to propagate this narrative that we are terrible people. Yet again, grasping at anything and twisting it to a false narrative.

What James did WAS terrible, but it doesn’t mean you can use some complete strangers' comments as evidence against us. Bronyfandont states this is James as if it were fact, when it is completely false.

I don’t think James would even spell pedophile like this. Myself and a lot of people our age spell it the American way.

Again, it’s a small point but just look at how such little information can be turned into falsehood.

I’ve never heard or used the term “Girl Guides” before in the UK personally, I had to google it and the only thing I could recognize was “brownies”, which is the common term we use here. At least for millennials like myself and James. It's worth mentioning that as stated previously Canada and Australia use the term Girl Guides also.

Gabriel Brown

When we first heard the allegations, we felt it was important to take the time and care necessary to look into them, as serious accusations deserve thoughtful consideration. However, those who know Gabe know him as a sex-repulsed ace. While he has spoken about being asexual online, only his friends have been aware of where he falls on that spectrum. Gabriel identified as aroace at the time and often talked about wanting to stay single. Something he even mentioned in his wedding vows, but Claire persisted and won him over.

I have had talks with him about it, as a fellow ace. I feel upset that I need to share this information. He audibly sobbed when I told him that he should tell people. He was scared. I heard his voice break, “people will make fun of me…”

He has been mocked by people his entire life for his lack of sexual interest and his sexual anxiety. He is also an SA survivor that has dealt with people trying to “change him”. The Gabe from the allegation does not align with the person I know, that multiple people know and vouch for.

Here is Gabe opening up about the sexual abuse ex experienced as a child to Sophie. There was a time when Gabe used to be open and transparent with people, but he was always punished for it. I don’t blame him for wanting to stay silent during these allegations. I also struggled coming forward with this statement after people cropped my words, twisted them, and painted me as a monster with no evidence. As we saw above, our entire game was thrown to the wolves for one out of context screenshot which turned out to be completely false.

Although I had my reservations, I still wanted to do my due diligence. Gabe was completely transparent—without hesitation, he gave me access to his social media accounts and allowed me to search them. He was cooperative and open throughout the process. Unfortunately, we’ve had far too many encounters with bad actors, including predators and pedophiles. In our experience, when confronted, they tend to react in one of two ways.

Run away, lock accounts
Admit fault/make excuses for the behaviour.

Gabe very confidently stated his innocence to me vocally and felt that the situation should be brought to the attention of the police.

The Twitter Archive

When searching through his accounts I found that I was able to download something called the Twitter Archive on his account, a 6GB file. It displayed to me deleted conversations with deactivated accounts. Conversations I could not even view on the main twitter website as it would crash. I searched every single direct message from 2011 to present and could not find a single inappropriate conversation between Gabe or anyone else. There was no record of a conversation with someone called Cutie Doodles or Pinkie Doodles.

I searched through all his direct message media, roughly 2500 images and videos

The content spanning over years

The Timeline

When the original testimony came out it was anonymous. It was tweeted from a private twitter account and censored. It was posted 8th December 2024, the same day she enquired a fellow community member if Gabe was still the VA of our game. This was 7 months after the first round of allegations went viral regarding Gabe grooming Michelle and Claire.

-The alleged victim was 13

- She first met Gabe because she made fanart for his role on My Little Pony “I did dumb art work for BlackGryph0n…when I found out he voiced on the show!”

On February 9th, 2025 BronyFandont posted this testimony to his page. I was struggling to make a timeline of events as the testimony lacked information and the identity was hidden. We had no clue when this person was born

My conclusion was that this must have been 2015, as that was when Gabe's first role on the show was credited. This was “The Cutie Map - Part 1” which came out 4th April 2015.

The testimony says that she directly messaged him with a picture of herself and that she would often send him pictures of herself. She later states that she deleted her Twitter after Gabe sent her an unsolicited dick pic.

She came back to Twitter after COVID, and after seeing he married Claire, she was disgusted.

On Feb 15th 2025 Destiny came out with her story, stating that a 3rd party threatened to reveal her identity. She stated it happened 12 years ago, in 2013. Destiny was born June 30th, 1999

Some users were confused by her original comment, where she states she drew him fanart for his role in 2015, despite it taking place in 2013, and asked for clarification. I didn’t manage to grab the other half of the conversation, but here is one side.

Please note this is what BronyFandont is saying is her response to this question but the context of the full thread doesn’t seem relevant to what he’s saying.

I decided to narrow down my search to 2013. If Destiny was born June 1999, and it happened when she was 13, then it must have happened before June 2013. This implies Gabe uploaded the picture to his timeline, as sending images directly in DMs was not possible on Twitter back then. In fact there was a famous case where a politician was caught sending NSFW pictures to minors because it uploaded the picture to his timeline. But there is no record of this.

It was pointed out that Gabe was in the Navy June 2013 and was unable to upload images without approval. Destiny said that he got out in October 2013, but then she said she’d still be 13, meaning she was now born in June 2000. Previously online she has stated it 1999

Currently, with the lack of evidence (no such conversation/username in the archives, no solid timeline, images at the time could not be sent via DMs, etc.), I believe Gabriel is innocent, and I think this situation should be handled by the proper authorities. Twitter retains metadata, as noted by security researcher Saini: “DMs are never ‘deleted’—rather, only withheld from appearing in the UI.” This means accessing the archive should be straightforward. Gabriel is also fully willing to provide his account details and cooperate with authorities in any way that he can to help.

Destiny, I see that you are struggling and I believe that you deserve to find your truth.

As I said before, Ash and I are CSA and SA survivors ourselves. We take these subjects very seriously for the safety of our community and any victims within. Gabe has never displayed any red flags, and I have noticed none of his close friends have turned against him when the allegations came out.

All these people stand by Gabe and vouch for him as a person, and more have reached out privately in support after seeing what happens when BronyFandont/Bonk6 is involved in the conversation.

The Aftermath

You can’t have a conversation with people like this. They may create more accounts, continue spreading misinformation, or take innocent clips out of context to fabricate new accusations. If they were truly committed to protecting victims, if they genuinely believed in their claims, why would they need to lie?

The only explanation is a personal vendetta.

When they inevitably try again, remember this document. If what they said before wasn’t true, why should anything they present now be any different?

From this day on, myself and Ash can no longer be online, we will be in discord for a few days before we log off for good. I desperately wanted to have an open communication with our audience. Too many games companies scam people for money, false promises, no communication, and we wanted to be different. These last few days have been a living nightmare, the likes of which I have never experienced before. One I wish to never experience again. It felt almost impossible researching all this whilst being constantly attacked and pinged on both the server and on social media. I had to delete all the apps from my phone and even when I tried to stay off twitter, friends would show me screenshots or people would come into our discord to yell at us for not responding fast enough. Ash struggled to look away as they were terrified it would escalate again without them knowing.

We have now fallen behind with work which is holding other people on the team back, it is not fair that the people on my team are without work due to all this. Multiple people depend on our project for work and I’ve allowed this situation to affect my mental health and the project that has put us behind. People were painting a picture of us banning people from our discord server, an all out war, but our community never turned against us.

We would not go through this emotional trauma for something we didn’t believe in so strongly. I’ve had people say I just want to keep Gabe for his name and fame. I don’t care. I don’t care about fame, I don’t care about influence, I just want to make a game with a team of passionate, creative and good people.

I please ask, in situations like this, be patient for a response. This was a serious accusation that needed investigation and time. The mental damage and trauma from this experience will sit with us forever. We were not the only ones affected. Members of our community, family, friends, all of them suffered alongside us.

Please DO NOT harass ANY people from this statement, I do not want anyone to go through what we have been through these last 2 weeks and I understand why people are mad and I ask that our community be compassionate. You are all wonderful people. If you send this document to people, be kind. If they are rude, do not engage.

I made this document because I care deeply for the community we have. They were anxious and genuinely just wanted a resolution to this.

I hope this document serves to show that we always do our research into everything, even if we don’t respond, I cannot do this again. We had already looked into the scenario behind the scenes and had made a conclusion. If my research ever comes back that the accusation was true, the person will be let go. When we let go of Gamerduck, there was no big statement. I don’t see the point in this. This feels like a need for external praise for firing someone, and I am not about that. I don’t want or need validation for doing the right thing. It feels wrong.

I can’t do this again. This took 3 weeks of mine and Ash's development time to work on this document, with constant new allegations coming out that had to be addressed. As you probably saw from the document, there were a lot of demands for a response from people that just wanted to see Gabe fired, people who weren’t even in our community to begin with. They didn’t go for any of the other companies that Gabe is working with, and when they didn’t get an immediate response, they made up and spread a lie about us keeping pedophiles in our discord for money. They got mad that we did not make a statement fast enough but kept encouraging the flow of misinformation so that I got stuck addressing new stuff. It felt like each time I cleared a path they intentionally kicked new dirt over it and yelled at me for not cleaning it faster.

We’re so close to release that we’re about to stumble at the end. This has had a very large physical toll on my body, and I'm not even sure how I’ll get back to work even now. I want to rest so badly but I can't. We have 30+ people who depend on our company for work and support.

We have 1.5 hours of cutscenes, at this point it is near impossible to recast with the deadlines and commitments we have, I’m sure we could just state this and move on, but I don’t think that's the right thing to do, nor is it fair. This isn’t just for Gabriel, it's for everyone who works at our company. The people on our team know I am meticulous with both my work and my investigations in our discord server. This sends a message to the people who work with us

You are a person, you are not simply a means to an end in the production of this game. I have seen multiple false accusations thrown against my name, I believe that all accusations should be researched or investigated. I will not remove you from my team without a just cause or evidence.

If you ARE a predator, you need to be worried, because I WILL find out about it. I require transparency and honesty from my team in situations like this, which Gabe has been. The last person we confronted about accusations on our team ran

I will not tolerate predatory behaviour on our team OR in our community. You are not welcome here

People like Bronyfandont will take advantage of stories like Destiny's to spread his narrative, he doesn’t seem like a person who genuinely cares, but has a martyr complex. The way he acts, talks down to people, and belittles victims like Claire makes that clear to me. He is happy to spread misinformation if it means taking someone down who has wronged him. I’m not sure what Gabe did to upset him so greatly, but his 5 year long goal to take him down is not healthy.

He is an obsessive and paranoid person that has stalked Gabe and Claire for many many years. He is psychologically inclined at this point to continue to demonise Gabe, as to admit fault would be to admit he has spent 5 + years harassing and attacking an innocent person. BronyFandont is not the type of person you need in a conversation about child sexual assault.
