let it be known, i enjoyed his videos, but never gave him money, i only throw bills at women and homeless men. I was on his server, but never gave him my ID, never posted either, it was a shit show. I think he'll return when shit starts getting lean, dear god i hope he doesn't comeback as ethan ralph.
I was wondering this too since, as I mentioned, his recent iteration of YouTube looked as if he had a previous iteration before that and DFE'd prior for some reason. If I remember right however, Karen or someone else stated in the Commentary Community thread that Depresston has been going around telling people that Rogue is gone for good. Depresston iirc was one of the more active members in chat during Rogue's livestreams and also a major donator iirc. I forget if it was him or someone else but I'm FAIRLY certain in my recollection it was him? Among the running jokes was people would donate to play the intro for his stream and in one stream Depresston I believe donated small amounts maybe 30 or 40 times and asked to play the intro every time as a stupid bit.
All in all if he does come back and his old content isn't brought back with him I'll be most disappointed with that outcome. He'll play a different persona most likely and I don't care about Rogue on a personal level, but I did enjoy his dumb acting and his streams got pretty entertaining at times. If it's a different brand of Rogue and he starts acting even more offensive and unhinged I'll be far less invested in watching.
Here to answer a few frequently asked questions:
Why were people (even in his inner circle) afraid of rogue?
Because Rogue frequently showed off that he was an unstable, assmad faggot. If someone posted a picture of their dog on the server, he’d use the exif data of the photo attachemrnt to threaten people he didn’t like with his dox. He would use names people had on their PayPal’s and to also identify people.
If you ever gave money to rogue using a non business PayPal account, he probably still has your dox.
Why didn’t people speak up?
As many people has said, he’d encourage dogpiling. The Kris person in the tweets above acted kind of retarded when he was on the server, but everything he’s saying is true.
I can think of one instance, this Irish kid named SnakeHogan who had a goat oc who wore a jacket. Rogue threw such a hissyfit about this kid supposedly stealing his then unreleased redesign that he was sending multiple people to gather all of his information and to dog pile him on any discord server Snake was on. He legitimately wanted this dude killed because he thought this would “fuck with his cash flow”
“DONT FUCK WITH MY CASHFLOW” is something rogue has yelled at his mods in staff chat on multiple occasions.
Dude is legitimately unhinged which is why I mentioned people could potentially be in real life danger in my first post in regards to the DFE. Unfortunately @JasonMetloney didn't give a shit about that, so nice one retard.
Yeah that leads me to think that either something really bad went down, more than just a namedox, or he's super paranoid, but I guess you'd know more than me. Even fairly recently, when I listened to a stream on the go that was from a few months ago maybe where Rogue was playing Luigi's Mansion, he made a very clear mention along the lines of "You know I really want to quit the youtube thing it's pretty cringe but it helps pay the bills", which makes me think he either wasn't working at all then or was in enough need for cash that the youtube gig definitely supported his living situation.
Rogue’s Patreon is still up if paypigs need to cope, seethe and mald with their wallets.
See stuff like that and the merch shop weird me out. It almost feels like he's either going to rebrand eventually after nuking everything and waiting long enough for the heat to die down or he's not coming back and is just trying to milk the last amounts of money out of simps. There are people definitely looking like they're either still supportive of Rogue and co or defending them, and while the latter's a bit spastic, nothing's wrong with the former other than it's definite money milking potential remaining.
Take anything rogue says on stream with a grain of salt, it’s his public persona after all. Anything from propainkey should also be taken with a grain of salt because he is never fully sober.
Pro always struck me as the strangest of the bunch and possibly the most, if not one of the most, mentally unwell, but his content was admittedly my top favorite. I just loved seeing his random popcorn tier streams, especially the ones largely dealing in watching videos of fights breaking out in various areas, themed each stream like restaurants, chuck-e-cheese, parking lots, etc.
So how do the Asterisk wanting to fuck Rogue claims hold up? If he was really more shitty to her behind the scenes wouldn't she loose her crush if it even existed?
Their dynamic wasn't that flirty either
I have no idea but there's claim by Skyling, the former co-host I mentioned, in her server that Asterik had a crush on Rogue behind closed doors and that Rogue actually did bully her a lot even in private. What I do know of the timeline if I have it right is that Rogue After Dark started with Rogue and Asterik, then Pro came along, then Mel was added to the bunch. I have no real concept of when all of the other co-hosts came in, but if it started with just Rogue and Asterik I can kind of see an attachment forming on her part. What struck me as more interesting was that there is also a claim that coincides with one curiosity I had during my time actively watching their streams, which is "why is Asterik the only one that doesn't make her own content?". During the 'act' Rogue would regularly tell Asterik that she was worthless, "shit at her job"(the larp stuff again), stupid, and couldn't do things right on panel. Supposedly he was just as bad or worse about this to her in private and made her think that she actually couldn't make good content, which is the primary reason she never tried to branch out. Pretty shitty if true.
What I do know about her from the streams is that among the slips of real life into the act, it became known that Asterik lived with her mother and worked a job either part or full time, and actually had some form of clinical depression. I won't rag on her for any of that, because it's honestly not too uncommon imo in today's America for grown adults to pull in an income AND live with family just to pay the bills and have a house that isn't Section 8 or a slum apartment, and the depression would fit inline with how it seems Rogue basically had her at his whim, maybe just being around him was like some kind of comfort or cope to deal with it. Seemed very co-dependent and I genuinely hope that in the wake of all of this bullshit she actually found a positive way forward away from all of this.
If yall are so interested here's some info.
Rogue worked for his dad at some sorta car place. I think it was just an auto repair with a junkyard. Nothing special.
He lived Midwest but were never completely sure as he did auto transport alot.
Asterik is from Michigan.
She worked at a grocery store and in one of the streams her mom comes in and calls her by her name. I only remember cuz we laughed at her name.
He is a racist.
Loopington (loopy) was demodded by my understanding for sexually harassing a Tranny in the server.
Rogue is in his 30s.
Asterik is older than Rogue by almost 10 years.
Liz is a cokehead and often bragged about getting coke in the nfsw chats.
Several underaged people were made mods.
Propainkey is a faggot and is married to a man.
The Russian roulette gun stream is true. Rogue got in to a heated fight with Pro after.
Several months ago Rogue moved to Virginia with that girl Mel.
So he doesn't even live in KS/MO anymore.
He's been in several shit flinging chimp out fights with:
Dillan
John Boulden
Oxhorn
Whiteglove
Mad Shangi
Coach Eli.
Hypocritical fuck talking about don't cow tip whilst holding a stick and poking a cow.
I really wish I screencapped all the autism.
There's way more. But it mostly harassing of random discord users and constantly talking about Cia Niggers.
There's also another claim by Skyling that Pro's "gay man" persona was part of the act but who knows? This one is less me not taking things at face value and more me taking into account that Pro was a REALLY weird guy so I have no idea what to think. He's okay for a crazy I guess. On the subject of Mel though, I THINK that's false? What I remember of the 'cross country' streams is that Rogue did a stream either the night before or morning of him heading out and he drove all the way to Mel's place. He stopped and did two more streams, first on the way while at Pro's house and second on the way back also at Pro's house, this time with Mel. Considering all the acting and larping though, I don't think it's a tinfoil hat moment to consider the possibility that this too was a bit and that he either never actually visited Pro or at the very least never actually came back after the first visit. He then did a final stream in the 'saga' I guess you could call it where he was back home and finished moving Mel in with him, introducing her as the newest member of the gang.
I've mostly been operating on the cardinal rule of "observe as much as possible but take nothing at face value" and so far the most credible things I have found is that Skyling has corroborated in her server some of the posts by Karen on this site and that multiple people across all of this are coming out and claiming roughly the same thing, that Rogue was a somewhat unhinged abusive asshole in private.
I found an archive of the stream where they reveal their ages.
The age part is fake. I'll be honest, this was one of the most entertaining streams he did just because of how he set it up. This was all a staged and planned stream where he brought Coach Eli on to fuck with him. I'm pretty sure he had his own stream up WHILE streaming and he'd regularly deafen Eli or something similar and shout at chat to do the numbers joke like "spam 1 in the chat if Eli is a retard" then undeafen Eli and pretend he had no idea what was going on and say it's just a little joke they do. It was also one of the liveliest streams as he brought nearly EVERYONE in, Pro, Asterik, Liz, Mel I think, TKSMantis(this was back when Mantis was somewhat active in participating in streams but again at a point I'm not aware of it looks like he distanced himself and focused more on his own Fallout stuff). And they all gradually came into the stream the longer it went on and dogpiled him in a passive aggressive way. Now I'm not defending Eli he seems like a real fucking scumbag, but every single action taken in that stream was either pre-planned or on the spot and all just to fuck with him. There was no intention of actually talking to him on an even level, and I'm pretty sure this was one of the only times Rogue let slip how angry he can really get out of character. The age part likewise was just to fuck with him just because he made the comment of them being in the younger generation and not understanding something or some shit so Rogue and co ran with the bit, paraphrasing of course: "I'm 45, Pro is 47, I dunno how old Liz is, Asterik is the youngest one here, we're all not young Eli!"
I'm not an expert in analyzing people by behavior but most of the crew seemed like they were at least in their 20s-30s tops.
Tbh I'm not quite sure. I left 6 months ago as the slightest bit of being a person was discouraged and every 5 seconds anyone divulged the slightest bit of "personal stuff" was warned and told that's considered doxxing. I also got annoyed with being pinged all the time. He's just a grifter. Nothing else. He had no original thoughts or content.
I was in the server until the very point of DFE but sadly I didn't see any of this coming because I wasn't even very active as a lurker, let alone the fact that I never posted. I joined up not realizing what I was getting into but as I already stated I was smart enough to crop literally everything but the birth date. I'll be a bit impressed if he can manage to dox me with that info actually. I unfortunately stopped caring about the community but didn't bother leaving quite a while ago, there was a period I binged his content as background noise while I was busy or in my free time, which is what I tend to use the internet for 90% of the time over the last several years, but eventually I started paying more attention to other stuff, particularly when the Ethan Ralph drama really started picking up steam around the end of last year/start of this year.
I'm actually personally kicking myself in the ass a bit because if I gave a shit enough I could've just downloaded all of Rogue's streams and shelved them on a hardrive. If I saw any of this coming I would've been more invested than just for the sake of my own entertainment, but hindsight's 20/20. I don't care about this stuff personally but the whole thing just happening overnight probably activated some of my autism and I actually wanna know what all went down in private.
Sorry for the fucking monolith of text. One final thing in this post, looks like some kind of drama is going down in that Prelude video's comments. I know there were more active donators and supporters in Rogue's community, like Wendi Diego, Madii Cake, Depresston. iirc someone made a post talking about Madii Cake being some kind of unhinged person or something in the CC thread? Can't really recall but this shit showed up in the comments of "Prelude":
He's said on a livestream, that he was in elementary school the day 9/11 happened. So he's obviously pretty old my guess is 40s at this point
My guy, that would make him in his late 20s/early 30s at most. I don't usually like to shit on people for arbitrary reasons but basic math is not hard.
