I, like many kiwis on here, used to be a former fan of Alex's a while ago. I'm talking back when the game was still being actively played by the likes of PewDiePie and Markiplier. I never heard of any negative criticism towards Alex or YanSim or even knew about the struggles the game was undergoing until
much later. I was actively following it for about two years until it came to a standstill in 2017 and I just kinda forgot about it.
Enter Kiwi Farms. I actually discovered this place on complete accident. I originally found it through a YouTube video about the Osomatsu-san fandom (it brought up Todokaras...

) but then I completely forgot about it until 2018. I heard through the grapevine that YandereDev was a complete asshat and I just had to find out whether this all was true or not. I ended up stumbling upon the Rise and Fall of YandereDev video and once again discovered Kiwi Farms. I read through the entire thread within two weeks, astonished that he still had (and has) so many young, impressionable fans imprisoned in his hugbox despite his shitty behavior and shady past. Afterwards, I continued to lurk within this thread and many others until I finally decided to join the farms.
I was originally gonna join about a week earlier, but then REDDIT-20 happened and I had to wait until registration opened up again.
