An hour and 15 minutes... he really went all out on this.

The video perfectly captures Dream's character. A theme throughout this whole saga is that people who knew Dream were willing to believe he didn't cheat based on the strength of his character alone. Even I immediately accepted Dream's story that it was an accident, and everything had been excacerbated by his childish way of reacting to things, particularly when trying to argue a case. As I've mentioned in previous posts, this mistake is exactly like other mistakes and miscommunications Dream has made while developing for MunchyMC.

The video lays bare for the internet to see Dream's difficulty in handling criticism, a subtext even his fans have noticed. The video explicitly makes the subtext text in a way Dream simply can't ignore.

Dream's response to this video, and his response to how he acted throughout the entire cheating saga, will inform how he responds to all criticism in the future. Of course he won't change overnight, so I don't think this thread will end up dying any time soon. But this video says more clearly than anything else, Dream is now expected to handle being criticised like an adult, and not act out like the kid playing videogames all day he was just a couple of years ago.

This whole thing has been the saga of a lowkey toxic gamer kid who got famous way too quickly for him to comprehend right on the cusp of adulthood and the internet letting him know you can't act like that and expect people to believe you. His lesson on why you should check yourself before you wreck yourself was played out for the entire internet to see.

No doubt Dream learnt something valuable from this whole saga, but what other extremely public lessons will he end up being taught in the future?
I am registering my prediction that Dream will apologize where the video faults him, because he probably paid for this video to be made, in one form of currency or another.

Then again, it takes a considerable amount of sociopathy to achieve what he did, if he is guilty of course.
Not really. This is part of the psy op Dream paid for. You got that from Karl and it either drastically understates that deviousness of the average person or circularly assumes that Dream is an honest outlier. Purposefully cheating for shekels and clout and then gaslighting everyone when you get caught is not very sociopathic relative to condemning "racism" (ie white people) on Twitter, gaslighting everyone about your weight, and so on. I mean, this is literally a guy who made a song about wearing a "mask" or whatever.

This Twitter drama is very autistic to me. But aside from that, despite not streaming this month, he will still be earning money to donate to the Trevor project as I don’t doubt he has many active subs.

A normal person would have big holes and inconsistencies in their stories if they were to weigh in on the scandal as much as Dream did. He talked to many people publicly on video. It is easy to want to lie, gaslight and manipulate people, but it is even easier to contradict yourself if you talk too much. Dream definitely talked a lot.
 
Karl's vid is up. I don't expect it to go anywhere but I'll download it and if anything happens pm me and I can provide it, even if it means breaking it up and reuploading here.

(not detailed)
20 minutes in and it's him trying to show how what Clay has said is actually reasonable and not manipulation/lying
My favorite bit is his baseless speculation on why the mod dev didn't tell anyone about their changes to the client at any point which basically amounts to "They didn't wanna get fired once they realized how much drama they caused"

30 minutes in
Fair consideration of the infamous astrostatistician.

44 minutes in
just explaining Dream is retarded at math but glances over a blatant retarded lie by Clay as a misunderstanding

52 minutes
Karl says he contacted the mods quoted in Clay's response video and they asked him not to share those messages and used them in a misleading away

56 minutes
Acknowledges Clay twists quotes to suit his agenda. Says he "bends the truth" but doesn't blatantly lie.

59 minutes
Says a lot of things he thinks Clay has improved on since the cheating drama, notably that Clay really does seem to try to reign in his fans

1 hour 5 minutes
acts like it's crazy that Clay would fake his reactions to the livestreamed cheatruns

1 hour 6 minutes
acts like it's crazy that Clay would write a 10 page "report" on probabilities when Clay had no business writing it to begin with considering how demonstrably bad at math he is
also acts like it's crazy he'd spin a general web of lies (it is which is why this thread is fun)

Overall - Karl is being way too soft but that's his thing so expected.
>ethan the expert
lol, he sure is focusing on heeb3 a lot in these example clips

It's not that hard, he probably just convinced himself of his own BS. And he did have holes and inconsistencies. Karl himself says Dreams story changed multiple times. Because the video was sponsored by Dream, Karl says that's evidence that Dream was honest. I guess he supposes 12 year olds don't listen very attentively.
Anyway, I don't get why people would be surprised that a person who supports sodomy pride month with a straight face would also be able to lie about other things with a straight face, both for clout.

This fucking hilarious and totally in character for him. He wanted to get the woke points from his fans, but still hold strong to his good old Trump supporting roots.
 
A tl;dr of Karl's video is "he cheated", that's it. Once a cheater always a cheater.
I'll do a better summary later, need to re-watch the video.

- The "Photoexcitation" was just some consulting company set up by a professional he found. So Clay found the professional, who wanted the shit to run through that site and him to remain anonymous.
Much like Peaceful Guntset LLC or Lolcow LLC? Sure, I'll concede on that. This explains a lot of things.

- The report looked shit compared to the speedrun mod's because it was one person VS like 20.
Bullshit. Yeah, the expert didn't know much about the game, but the report itself was just bad. That python code mistake was unforgivable. The format was laborious and confounding, it's something I'd expect from a graduate who's new to LaTeX.

- Commentary community claims.
Ok Karl, you realise that group of grifters aren't objective, they don't know the game well, and they are not journalists? What a useless point. I don't give a shit about a bunch of grifters and some fat Jew that wears a diaper.

- Mod stuff
Sure, he deleted it out of fatcunt rage. Plausible, that's fine.

- His reaction to cheating means he was oblivious, as a cheater would just hand in a fake folder
Assuming he's not a psychopath. If I was accused of cheating and I did cheat, my first response would be go fuck yourself, prove it, not making a fake folder. Is there a way to prove the folder was authentic even? Additionally, mods aren't needed to alter drop rates, just use datapacks.

- Truthbending with a disregard for others and the backlash they may get.
Sure, see the point above. It's a trait.

- Speedrunning vs cloutchasing
Only retards think speedrunning some dorky game is a better alternative to chasing clout. I've always maintained the position that he didn't need to speedrun, he's successful already, he's doing it for fun and most importantly, to fuel his ego.

That's it for now, it's a good video but the perpetual fencepost anal ravaging is kind of annoying. Then it's youtube we're talking about, being a cunt doesn't get you anywhere.

tl;dr, I see a little manipulative psychopath and he's given me no reason to believe otherwise.

Karl's video is pretty solid, but anyone who watches ten minutes of Karl's content will immediately realize what a sperg he is. He's very obviously autistic, or at bare minimum not neurotypical. He discounts all the emotional factors to the case and just doesn't have good enough social skills to grasp the mindset of somebody like Dream.

It's pretty obvious to 'normal' people what Dream did. He did exactly what every politician, celebrity and other high-profile public figure does in situations like this; deny everything on principle. It's a very simple attitude, not to mention a ubiquitous one. Even in a court of law, the most obviously guilty person will plead 'not guilty'. Karl dives down a very deep, convoluted rabbit-hole like a true autist, trying to figure out every possible variable and bit of context to frame the narrative in a way that makes logical sense. But he never once just steps back and says 'these people aren't acting rationally, and we don't need to examine their motives in crystal clarity to understand why'.
 
Don't know if anyone's covered this yet but Twitter seems to be having a field day with Clay making a new criticism shield:


People are claiming he's using he/they pronouns, but:
1625250197972.png

(screencap from today, but watch him change it to cover his ass)

Seems that the only people that are really praising him are the stans, but this generally seems to be viewed as another way for him to dodge criticism. Also keep in mind, he has explicitly stated that he's cishet, so take this as you will. You can't even make this shit up anymore.

One thing after mulling this video over is the talking point that "Since Dream had no consistent narrative then he was probably innocent of malicious cheating" which goes against basic concepts in law; if a witness consistently changes their story they're unreliable. Karl goes on to justify his stance with the example of Billy Mitchell who, unlike Dream, is not personable and sticks to his story. This only says how good of a liar Mitchell is and not Dream's innocence and in the same video is shown to be an incompetent liar trying to spin half truths into a persecution narrative.
I think it's clear that Karl, despite giving a fair amount of valid and deserved criticism, became a bit too attached to the personalities at play and set out with the mindset to "not be like that guilible uninformed hatemob" which made him into an easy mark.

The video does a good job of providing info, but it's still akin to asking someone a bunch of softball questions in an interview IMO. I think he wanted to try to keep his image of "the great speedrunning cheater killer" while not angering Dream or his stan hatemob too much and risk being turned into a flesh chair.

hi this is Dream

I thought I would make this post regarding the Karl Jobst video because I thought it would be interesting and potentially helpful. Karl did an amazing job and as an investigator uncovered a lot of stuff that even I somehow didn't think about or realize. He didn't cover all of it, because he mostly focused on the mis-information rather than providing "information in my defense". I also don't want to create more drama or argue things more, so I decided against making a second channel video or anything. So below is just some stuff that Karl uncovered in his investigation that could be useful in coming to a determination. Would also be fine with answering questions below regarding his video or the speedruns in general.

Will be providing the information objectively with screenshots.


Info: While investigating Karl uncovered evidence that I had fabric and more importantly fabric API and used it in videos months before the streamed speedruns. You can tell I am using Fabric API in the screenshot below during a manhunt. You can tell because it says "[Fabric] Active renderer: none(vanilla)" on the F3 menu:

Screenshot: https://gyazo.com/35462ca61fa74a0f8c7dcaf591191b92

Importance: This video is not a mod video, and shows that I had fabric API installed and was using it well before my speedruns without any specific mods for a video. This was for a performance and QOL recording mod.


Info: While investigating Karl uncovered evidence that I had volunteered any files the moderators wanted when asked directly after my speedrun. It sounds stupid that he uncovered this, but I just never deep dove through all my messages with the mods until he prompted me to.

Screenshot: https://gyazo.com/07990f38358cbce4bb5aee772e18a04d

Importance: On the 18th (9 days later), I was asked about my mod folder and was unable to provide it then because I had deleted it on the 17th, the day before when I said I was quitting speedrunning. This is only important subjectively to show willingness to cooperate, even though I'm still an idiot


Info: There are still some people confused about me being dishonest about having had a recording mod in the first place to the moderators. I had mentioned the QOL mod on multiple occasions to the mods and Karl even mentioned in his video that I told Willz, a speedrun moderator, that if fabric api was actually on I was probably using my recording mod too. Although I also said that there would be nothing in the mod that would effect my speedruns. Something that I had confirmed with the developer, and had decompiled my current version of the mod to check (and there was nothing). After seeing the fabric API logs and misunderstanding them, I thought that it was 100% that I wasn't using the recording mod, but that was after the mods released their report.

Screenshot: https://gyazo.com/3a7ccc4640b345866c6f0036accedfe8

Importance: I never hid the existence of a recording mod, and it isn't something I randomly made up. How important that is is subjective


People are also still confused about client / server side, which I think Karl does a great job of explaining, but I can clarify slightly on the specifics. I still currently (and previously) have a mod that I use while recording. This mod does a bunch of things related to performance, visual stuff, and other QOL improvements. This is visible in my videos due to the F3 menu being smaller, particles being lessened, certain sounds being lower, my main menu screen, servers list, and other visual aspects, as well as lots of non visual things.

This is separate from what would be on the server side, which are plugins that are also related to QOL but that cannot be done through the client side. This would include a pause command to pause the time in case we need to use the bathroom or something, decreased eye break percentages and higher pearl trade percentages (specifically now in 1.16.5, trades are like 1.16.1), and just generally other QOL improvements.

These two things can't be confused, are not compatible with each other and function completely differently.


Anyway I thought these were interesting things that Karl uncovered or helped me uncover during his investigation, which was much more thorough than I could have imagined.

I'm glad that this saga has come to more of a close, although I'm happy to answer any questions like I did with Karl because there's a lot of nuance to understanding everything. I think that Karl did a great job investigating though and I think that the harsh criticism he threw my way was well deserved.
