Dream's basically a both better and shittier version of Cry. Just unlike Cry, there's a lot of people who did this song and dance before, and can tell Dream is obviously a shithead in disguise. He's worse at hiding it but better at capitalizing on his fame and compounding it. Sadly he got an obsessive fanbase of children all the same. Won't be surprised whenever (who knows how long) in the future a video like this is made of Dream.

We've had decent big KZreadrs who dont have controversies at all, because they managed that fame well. But we've also had so much shit like this where Youtubing brings out their ugly side.

Cry isn’t pathetic because he was mentally unwell. Almost everyone is in some way. He’s pathetic because he took his pain and unleashed it on absolutely everyone around him, with no thought to the consequences. I’m not gonna lie, his struggles with motivation and depression and loneliness are really relatable to me but he took it so far without any care about anyone else. The whole situation is absolutely crushing. It hurts so much to know that if cry never existed a lot of people would be a lot better off.

I genuinely think Cry was a perfect example of unchecked mental illness and ego. He struggled to accept the way the internet was changing around him, constantly shifting between wanting to embrace or hide his own fame. He is an egomaniac with no confidence, which in itself is an incredibly self-destructive cycle. While it does not excuse his actions in any way, I believe Cry to be an incredibly mentally unsound man. The pride has no ego, the ego has no pride. Wherever he is, I hope he gets his shit together.

He just had deeply rooted issues that put him into self destructive cycles and made him deeply desperate for validation, love and attention.

​@Destroyer120296 Yeah, he's still human and it's a harrowing thing to realize that with enough abuse and neglect any of us could've potentially gone down a similar path. Being a good parent to your child is the most important thing you could do for their future, because if you fail, it shapes and molds not only their conscious mind and personality, but also their entire subconscious mind (and by extension, their associations, emotional reactions, behaviors, and habits) for the worse and, in a nutshell, that's how you end up with hurt people hurting other people. It's a cycle and you have the burden of responsibility to find it in yourself to break it if you find yourself there, both for your sake and those who cross your path - especially those who stick around. That's just life, we all have this responsibility, and it's tragic (in many ways) that Cry wasn't equipped to face that fully, and instead did what he felt he had to in order to escape from his shadow for another day. I hope this whole ordeal has shaken him awake to this reality at the very least. People can change and I hope he manages to find a path to actually be a better person, and face whatever demons lead him to this point. Fuck, this stuff is heavy.

It’s a different thing when it’s someone you used to watch. So many of the ones who were exposed before were people I had no connection to. I’d stumbled across a video of theirs on occasion, but not people I watched actively. Cry was the first one that I had watched actively, only to be exposed as a problem - a groomer, an abuser, an aggressor. And that made it hurt, because his emotional “openness” in the past had inspired me, as someone with unchecked depression and struggles against a chaotic home life. Felt less alone, felt entertained by his friendship with PewDiePis, felt comfortable. Then when it comes out what he’s done, suddenly you feel alone again, even years after moving onward. Everything falls away, all that good feeling and appreciation, and you just stand there, watching someone you admired fall before your eyes.

I survived middle and high school because of Cry. I couldn't hurt myself, I had to get to Saturday so I could watch the Late Night Crew. The summer after I graduated is when all this shit came out... it still really hurts. Hearing Cry's voice is so bittersweet. I've had a few dreams about the LNC as a whole since then. I loved his playthrough of The Cat Lady so, so much, and I can never watch it again without feeling sick. I was groomed as a teenager, too. Cry was a safespace for me, and so many other people, and I hate that he's a piece of shit who hurt other people in the same ways I was hurt.

You're not alone there. For me, he was one of the OG let'splayers. I was in high school around 2009 when I first started watching and had always been hooked to his humor and voice. It was good times. I haven't touched or rewatched a single one of his videos again, not since the big bust. In fact, looking at Dream SMP's avatar makes me feel weird bc it's so strikingly similar to Cry's avatar.

I used to be in the Steam Group and I used to watch tons of his videos on KZread. But I'll never forget the stream where everyone was talking shit back and forth while Cry was playing some weird eastern inspired war-boardgame and it was so fucking boring, he didn't talk and the others were basically just carrying the stream while Cry was sitting quiet. Then Russ said: "Yo Cry, chat wonders why you're being so quiet." And he just fucking launched into a rant about how he wasn't a puppet dancing for an audience, he was going to play videogames and "have a good time" and that "he was tired of everything." I don't know how, but my brain just went: "This guy doesn't seem like he appears on his let's plays" and then I just never watched him again; it's like I snapped out of a dream or something and realized that he was kind of a fucking asshole towards everyone and it just didn't vibe with me.

But they were pretending not to? Snake was the one who I noticed first then a few of the others. I stopped watching after a few cause I just couldn't shake that feeling.

"Im not a dancing puppet"... That sounds like some fake deep shit. Sorry Cry but a stream is a performance at the end of the day.. anyone streaming is effectively a dancing puppet. You dance/entertain then you get a bag 💰. it's simple.

Y'know, there's something else I noticed. I share my experience with the deep sense of betrayal and disappointment and all. But as an impressionable preteen, coming from a chaotic and LOUD house, hearing his low voice and general calm demeanor and vibe gave me a real false illusion. Because even when he clearly showed bursts of anger or mental instability, hearing all that in a relative calm tone gave me a false sense of "not seriousness", as in, "if he's saying stuff calm like that, he MUST have a grasp on his internal conflicts, emotions and, most of all, mentality and ideals. Wow, so mature". Because of that I often didn't question anything that came from him and had him in this pedestal of wisdom. If the same things were said and done by a more loud person (as I was used) perhaps I wouldn't have laid so much trust in him

I think most people wouldn't actually understand emotional cheating. I don't think I do either. Like if everyone's being honest, chances are we're not in a relationship with someone who is our idea of peak physical attractiveness, so the urge to do physical cheating is easy to understand. Falling in love with someone else, being honest enough with yourself to realise that but not honest enough to tell your current partner "I don't love you anymore"? That's hard to picture for yourself.

​@@calamitysangfroid2407The problem is that many people emotionally cheating still love their partner. They want to have both people in their life and they're too selfish to let go of either, even if what they're doing is showing the exact opposite of love. It's good you don't understand emotional cheating, you shouldn't ever have to.

If it's ANY consolation (not really), this dude's messed up mind will haunt him, even if he's anonymous and may not be held accountable by the law, his mind will hold him accountable. I really appreciate this video's title. Cry will undoubtedly see it and there's likely no other word but "failure" that probably shakes him more to his core. It's his biggest insecurity, especially since his failures are all self imposed. His mind and low self image will haunt and punish him more than anyone ever could. His life is also miserable as he allows himself to be walked all over by others in his life. Plus authorities were contacted so he's probably been living in paranoia. The man won't know peace in his life.

I will always feel some serious melancholy whenever Cry and LNC is brought up. He was a childhood favorite and I remember loving the LNC's streams, seeing the fanart of the group hits hard. Cry was a very unhappy person who didn't know how to control his emotions, and lashed out and hurt so many others. He did some foul, disgusting things and is obviously a shitty person that deserves the negative connotations that come with mentioning him nowadays. But I think my inner child will always feel kind of depressed, knowing how him and his group of friends are broken apart because of his selfish and immoral actions.

Well said. Cry tried to do right, for himself and for others. But there was no balance for him to strike, so he built an unstable sphere around him and dove into deeper darker corners to escape and/or find purpose. There's no excusing his actions. But unlike most youtubers turned pedo/abuser, Cry genuinly didnt mean any pedo/abuse or related actions to happen, nor was it his nature to end up where he ended up. Cry is not a bad meaning person. But intention dosnt change anything about the actions one commits. And Cry messed up.

This fucks me up because i remember following Cry through his rise to popularity. Legit I can remember seeing his creepy pasta readings JUST being uploaded and sharing them with my friends at school. I was captivated back then with his voice and the emotion he could put into it. Insane as an adult now to listen back and hear how he spoke and what he did. He literally speaks like a manipulator.

It is so sad how I just listened to him a handful of times, knew he knew Jack and Pewds a bit, and then after years of just forgetting about him and going back to see how he was doing - to see ALL OF THIS. Just wow.

He actually was my favorite youtuber for so many years starting when I was 14. He was part of the reason I got super into rpg maker horror games and (cringe ik I'm sorry) got super into Undertale. I even encouraged friends to watch his videos because I thought at the time that he was so funny and a chill guy. It's so depressing that those good memories I had of watching his videos are just broken now... such a messed up and unstable guy.

I grew up in the generation where Pewds, Mark, Jack, Cry and the others were at their peak. Cry was my personal favorite, since I liked his "calm" demeanor and I like where his range and taste of games are more than the others. Hearing Cry's voice again after years in this video makes me cry but also gag. I'm around my 20's now, and I still couldn't forget how harrowing it is to see both the rise and fall of your favorite youtuber. As much as I loved Cry (and I honestly and genuinely still weep for him) for the solace and peace he gave me as a teen through my darkest times like many others did, I hope he goes through hell for his actions. What he did wasn't okay and will never be okay. Using mental illnesses can not be an excuse for his shitty actions. I honestly feel for his shitty upbringing cause I also had a shitty upbringing myself as well as two mental illnesses, but I can never vouch for using that excuse to ruin both his and other people's lives. He honestly could have gone down a more brighter and peaceful path if he had just sat and took a hiatus to face himself in the mirror to fix that one, broken inner child. He could have gone to therapy. He could have taken a step back and take a breath and excuse himself so he'll be and feel better. But no. I hope he goes through hell. As much as I have looked up on him and he became my comfort youtuber I could never stand by him. I genuinely hope he's out there getting his shit together, taking in the consequences of his actions, and be so damn sorry. also to those like me who missed Cry but couldn't face his vids ever again and had the itch of it, I swear ManlyBadasshero is such an amazing youtuber. I found out about him right after this whole fiasco (who honestly became my saving grace) and he has the same vibe as Cry's LP's. He's now one of my favorites and he's pretty funny and really, really chill and focuses more on a myriad of indie horror games, which is pretty cool c:

The part about Russ and "Angel" kinda weirds me out too, in a way. Like he only ever said he had a crush on her, not that they were actually an item. She chose to date someone else, yet it comes off like he felt like he owned her, and she was already his just because he had a crush. That doesn't obligate her to like him back or date him, even if she flirted with him or something. Like I've been there, thinking you might become a thing with someone and they start dating someone else especially someone you're close with, it sucks and it hurts. But she was free to pick whoever she wanted to date. You don't get to call dibs on a person or anything. Still shitty to go for someone a supposed best friend is into though, especially after doing that with his last relationship, not trying to say Cry didn't do a hurtful thing there.

But Ken still occasionally showed up on Pewds's vids meanwhile Cry seemed distant. Until one time when Pewds was streaming, a guy in chat asked "Why didn't you play with Cry anymore" and he replied "I just didn't hang out with him anymore, some things are better left unmentioned."

I religiously watched his Let’s Plays and streams as a teenage girl (and yes, I absolutely had a huge crush on him). I remember watching his breakdown birthday stream but not really understanding all the shit behind it. I remember being floored when all the information came out. Coincidentally, by then I was very closely involved in the Smash Bros Melee community. It made up most of my friend group. June 20th, Cry was outted. June 30th, countless members of the smash community were outted. Felt like my past and present all shattered at once. I still have a Cry plushie that I used to cuddle with tucked away in my closet, gathering dust. Not sure why I keep it. I refuse to clean it. Just feels symbolic

As much as I kind of hate to say it. The fact it's been as long as it has and no one has said anything in regards to Cry or the situations. He may have "opted out" as they say. He was 31, still living at home, mental health issues, no real friends, no type of healthy schedule what so ever, deep emotional problems. Then he loses the one thing he had, his online life and persona. Essentially being erased off the internet from Twitch, KZread, etc. The way he had already been declining mentally and then everything exploding in his face. I wouldn't be surprised if it got to him in the end. I used to watch HELLA cry growing up. His collabs with Pewds were my favorites. I remember so many nights as a teenager going to bed with his let's plays on. He was soothing in a chaotic household I was growing up in. I fell off keeping up with everyone for years after I got out of highschool. One day I thought "I wonder what been going on with these people I used to watch" Everyone like Pewds, Ken, Marikplier, etc were all doing good, having families, getting big on youtube, but I couldn't find anything on Cry and I noticed everyone stopped collabing with him years prior. So I went to his channel and just got side swiped with confusion. Hearing the last 2 videos he had posted, then reading all the comments below, slowly piecing things together, looking up things on Twitter, KZread, sort of deepdiving, and my heart sank. One of the youtuber's I found to be most relatable, soothing, funny, and enjoyable to watch turned out to be someone I needed to stay FAR the F away from. I am currently 29 and the thought of someone my current age going after me when I was 15, 16, 17 using their online persona and fandom to gain traction on me freaks me out. I feel so bad for the victims he used, cheated on, lied to, and the friendships he utterly didn't seem to give a ish about at the end of the day. He destroyed all his friendships through lies, and infidelity. There is a part of me that considers with his background, child hood, mental health. That MAYBE there was a part of him at the time that really didn't see what he was doing was wrong, or that he couldn't comprehend the situation he was participating in, but eventually he did, and I think once he realized all of the bad things that happened to him in his youtube career were because of him. There is a part of me wondering if he could even cope with it. Like he tried to continue his streaming and posting on youtube like things weren't as bad as they actually were, or like he REALLY thought his actions weren't that bad cause he never actually got physical with anyone, or whatever the case may be. Him realizing "Oh sh-t it really IS this bad...there are a LOT of people suddenly exposing a bunch of things I said to them... people are connecting dots... people are asking too many questions that I don't know how to answer, if I am honest everyone will hate me anyway, but they seem to already hate me, so whats the point?" I think the pressure of owning up to everyone, everything he has done over the years was just too much. Which is why he never ended up posting a follow up video, or even stream, or anything. He couldn't face ALL the consequences and cries for answers on some serious allegations at once. If he was potentially investigated by the FBI for messing around with minors or what not, that could be another reason we never got an update since. Depending how legit any of it actually was. But yeah regardless... It is really sad to see how 1 person SO many people grew up with and looked up too had destroyed so many lives and affected so many people in ways I am sure still occasionally affect them.

Cry honestly to this day still has the best playthroughs of SEVERAL games. He was one of the very few Let's Play'ers that actually let the game tell its story and he paid attention. His commentary only added to each one. These days most channels are constantly talking over dialogue, not paying attention to the story or basic mechanics, and then complain about how confused they are. Then he threw it all away.

So far he doesn’t complain or cries about his struggles. He just announces when he took breaks or moved. He uploads every day, except weekends (and sometimes even weekends). Give it a shot. I actually believe that CJU deserves much more viewers/subs, because he is genuinely good. And he has no facecam during the play, but before and after to show some of the best reactions during the game and to say goodbye. 😂

When this whole thing was first revealed I felt so betrayed and angry. The mere sound of Cry’s voice made my skin crawl after learning everything. But now it’s just… sad. Hearing him again after all this time was more heartbreaking than I expected. It’s like looking at the ashes where your old high school was. There were some good memories there but mostly it sucked, and you can’t even be glad that it’s gone

I have screenshots from a search I did at some point after this all went down. I knew Florida was open about bookings compared to other states. I found a mugshot of someone who matched the description the Crew hinted at over the years. Blond hair, bigger guy, beard. The charge was "Enticing a child for indecent purposes". Ryan Daniel Terry, booked on 2/4/2021. I never got any further update on that case, but it was enough closure for me, thinking Snake and the victims really did contact an agency, that there was justice of some kind. It just... came out of nowhere, yet it was so obvious. Hard to describe that revelation at the time, after being a viewer for about a decade.

Cry went from being someone I could sympathize with to a predator. I disagree that what made him a failure was his inability to do anything with the opportunities he had for success on the internet. I've been there. So depressed that literally nothing could give me enough satisfaction or dopamine to motivate me. A therapist once asked me what kind of life would make me happy if I could do literally anything. I couldn't come up with a single thing. Mental health problems on that level can seriously incapacitate you. HOWEVER, that doesn't excuse his abusive behavior in any way. Especially considering he seemed perfectly aware that what he was doing was wrong and was intentionally hiding it. Severe, untreated (and sometimes even with treatment) depression can make it impossible to care for yourself and be successful in your life and career. It doesn't make it impossible not to prey on others.

@fallenangel3742 I am, thank you! One of the big turning points for me was doing an intense course of DBT group therapy when I was at rock bottom. It focused more on how to manage my symptoms instead of trying to cure the depression and anxiety. I had always thought that approaching it as a chronic illness instead of as something I could fix would be too much like giving up. Instead, the coping mechanism managed to get me enough peace to actually start making progress. I went from the worst I had ever been to almost normal function for the first time in my life in my late 20s. I'm in my early 30s, now, and I'm excited about my life. I didn't know it was possible to feel like this, and now I know why life always seemed so much easier for "normal" people 😅 TLDR: Keep trying different approaches if you have persistent mental illness. You can be in unsuccessful treatment for decades and finally find something that works for you.

​@@thegshowgamesandmovies9448to me personally, I accepted his dark humor because he knows when to humble his fans when they go feral against others. Most youtubers used their fans as a shield to get away from responsibility even if that genuinely hurt people. I also like how his audience matures with him, like I never seen someone complaining about a Pewdiepie fan. Speaking of his fans being mature, there was this one viral video from Jubilee, his community is the only audience that sympathize for a single mother. Other KZreadrs' community don't take single mothers kindly from my experience, so they usually ignore her existence and chose a different person to sympathize with even if he lied about some charity. He also chose his lover over his audience and wasn't scared to show her face. Some youtubers don't usually show their lover because it really pressed the audience, possibly causing heated debates from each side. Years ago, I think if was around 2011? I remember Pewd's fans protested how he "changed" and so they tried to blame everything on Marzia. Of course, he defended her a lot. Some male KZreadrs are willing to disrespect and throw away their SO for fans that never show their face just coz they protest that her presence ruined the content. Bro wasn't a good person, but it's easy to say he matured a lot.

I think a main reason why so many successful KZreadrs are eventually called out for interacting with minors is the combination of getting rich young and running out of excitement. When you give a kid millions of dollars, they're bound to do dumb shit, and once they're out of dumb shit to do you'll seek to do things normal soecity wouldn't want you to do, like have sex with a minor, do hard drugs, pay for snuff content etc. It's actually a very very common pattern amongst rich people to suddenly grow very dark tendencies after a while. Once you've obtained what you want in life it might be human nature to be drawn towards things you know you shouldn't have or things you know you shouldn't do. It's a very interesting psychological topic that I would want to learn more about in the future.

Then why is it majority men doing it though? if its human nature you would see all the female makeup gurus and vloggers be as predatory (a lot of them turn out to be shitty people but not grooming minors). Sure there are some female youtubers that have been predatory (colleen balinger for example) but it's just sooooo much more common for male youtubers. I don't think fame or power turns anyone bad it just allows them to do act out their deep desires, it might take some time for them to build up the confidence to do the heinous shit they want to so that's why their behavior start showing after some time. Maybe males are statistically more prone to predatory desires due to socialization or something... idk.

Same reason that a lot of childhood-abuse victims wind up being child-abusers in their older years.

I remember watching his Cat Lady playthrough and how... _nice and supportive_ he was of the main character, stopping occasionally to talk through heavy topics like self harm, su*cide, depression and _emotionally abusive relationships_ with such tact and care. But I guess that just goes to show that you can have someone who understands or even just parrots good and helpful sentiments but is still themselves a bad and harmful person. Everything he did to his victims was a complete betrayal of what he led his community to believe. Given how easy it was for him to do all that while putting on a supportive or sympathetic face for his audience, I don't think that he could ever or should ever be trusted to come back. (I edited the last line to say "I don't think" instead of "I don't know" because I realised from replies that it sounds almost like I think Cry should come back. To be clear: I do not want him back. I think that due to the constant pity parties he threw for himself and the young people he emotionally sexually abused he should stay logged off forever.)

At best they have a victim complex that they think justifies their actions in their head. At worst they're just crocodile tears being used to try and get out of being held accountable. However, I imagine it's probably the former here. Someone who wears a mask a lot tends to not be very emotionally stable, as it were. And when someone just blames everybody else for their problems, they tend to keep doubling down because that's all they can do to try and excuse their horrible behavior.

I used to watch Cry a lot back when I was 11-15. This was to the point that I would stay up at ridiculous times to catch streams of Late Night with Cry and Russ. I even made a Tumblr account simply because I knew Cry had one. When I think back on it, my fangirling hit me very hard and made up a large chunk of my middle school years. A lot of the horror games I love now are due to watching his channel. Unfortunately, I feel like many of those games have been tainted for me as I can no longer stand to think of the connections to him. At this point, I don't even watch Let's Players because I just assume they will do something stupid and have instead started to stream myself so that I can experience games without a middle man. I hope wherever Cry is these days, he’s haunted by the consequences of his own self-destructive actions.

Cry did some terrible, inexcusable things. But, I can’t help but feel empathy for the other aspects of his downfall. Aside from the degenerate grooming/cheating/whatever else, I think a lot of us can relate to feeling stagnant in life. To be a popular content creator with these issues must be a nightmare. I often think about how I would be as a content creator and I’m sure it would be similar to Cry. I’d be inconsistent and unmotivated, unable to commit to the content creation even as a hobby. If I were to become popular, I’d feel horrible for disappointing everyone and spiral. Popularity comes at a steep, steep price and almost nobody is creating content with a goal of staying obscure and not getting paid. If your popularity declines (for whatever reason), so does your mental state - this is true even for small creators with smaller audiences. It just sucks that we have to watch people destroy themselves… that we have to suffer along with everyone else affected in a downfall like this. Of course, like I said, the grooming he did was just unforgivable and inexcusable. But we watched Cry’s downfall in real time. Having felt the same feelings he was honest and real about is what made him so likable… and also what made it so upsetting when he fell.

It’s crazy how Cry was literally the blueprint for Corpsehusband and Dream. A smooth voice that got millions hooked. Thankfully the other two haven’t gone too far off the edge yet but I don’t hold out hope. I used to love his longer horror game playthroughs, shit hurt to hear when he got accused then confessed.

@@VG-fk6nk I watched his let's plays when i was younger and liked his style, he seemed witty and genuinely immersed in the games he played so it was fun to watch. Now though, all i feel is disgust thinking about him and i've not been able to watch any of his videos since it was revealed he preyed on kids. It was so shocking when i first learned of it i was actually legit feeling like i was going to puke for days afterwards. Seriously, i can't feel any joy even thinking about his old content anymore. And he shouldn't be remembered as anything except what he is, an predator. No wonder his avatar was that smiley, it's the mask he wore at all times so people would like him. Hiding his true absolutely disgusting self.

I was a fan of cry back in the early-mid 2010s as a teenager then stopped watching for a while, then decided to get back into his content again by joining his BIRTHDAY STREAM 😭 he did mention in that mess that he was going to upload a video the next day to get things off his chest and he was like, legitimately feeling relief that he was able to talk about this stuff and was looking forward to it. Fucking crazy what it ended up being about

Grew up watching this dude, relating a little due to family issues. However, I grew up and repaired these damaged relationships, rather than letting them worsen while my decision making plummeted. Depressing to see what happened. Guess that’s life.

It's sad scrolling through these comments and reading about how disappointed everyone was by this. Y'all just wanted to support a dude you thought was sweet, wholesome, and chill. Which is in itself very sweet. You're all good kids. ):

This was such a hard thing to watch happen in real time, especially given WHEN it happened. 2020 was rough for everyone for obvious reasons, but for me I lost my best friend in February-who had incidentally introduced me to Cry-then my cat that I’d had since I was a child in May on the anniversary of my mom’s death. I tried turning to a presence that had been calming for me in the past and found this whole shitshow going down. Obviously my experience was relatively insignificant, but given everything else it felt like yet another personal catastrophe in an extremely short period

I LOVED Cry when I was a teenager (I’m 30 now). I would put his let’s plays on and just have them as background noise and would sleep to his soothing voice. I was heartbroken when I decided to look and see where he had been because I stopped keeping up with him because of life. My teenage self connected so much to him

Cry and Dodger’s Dandelion series on her channel was my emotional support series for several years. After the drama came out I tried rewatching it again and it just wasn’t the same. It’s very deeply depressing to have something I cherished for years suddenly tainted. There’s this one part from the playthrough I remember specifically where the main love interest is being textbook abusive and Dodger comments that this is an abusive relationship cycle and Cry affirms that and says “Ladies: Don’t let a man treat you like this. Ever.” It really… sits strange now knowing what we know.

I remember in this one stream she was asked about cry and just said "welp, if the dude is accused of something and just vanishes off the face of the earth, he's probably guilty".

I'm 90% sure now, that was when Russ confronted them... Also, it was very obvious there was something happening between angel and cry to his audience. Constantly just the 2 of them streaming together. I remember his life is strange ssn 2 streams being obnoxious because of it. 30:15 or other members of the LNC for that matter... Jund and Cheyenne HATED each other, and Ziegs was basically being bullied by her. Not to mention she was an incredibly toxic, and manipulative person.

Oh man, this really hurts to watch. This is hits home with an old "best friend" of mine who had very, very similar issues: Lack of purpose, no motivation, no commitment, fucked sleep schedule, fucked family situation, no friends, loneliness, depression - the whole spiel. But there seemed to be a sliver of hope, a new purpose for him, entering his life when I met my back then girlfriend and introduced the two. They got along well, and grew really close since she also had mental issues and they could relate on that, among other things. And guess what - he did not hesitate to ruin everything he had (though not much, he did have two really close friends who would stand by his side, even with all of his issues) to take the shot and make her the center of his existence. By shittalking me behind my back and actively ruining our relationship, he took advantage of her emotional hurt from breaking up and they ended up getting together. A failing failure tends to drag others down with them.. Inspect your "friends" closely. Some people are not ready for friendships, and they sure as hell aren't ready for relationships.

"Some people aren't ready for friendships." The problem with this is that if a person has both no friends and mental health issues, most of the mental health issues can be traced to the no friends or are made worse by the no friends. When I had depression, I would have had depression anyway, but the symptoms were definitely made worse by the lack of people my own age to talk to.

When you grew up starved of real care, you cling to whoever is the first person who genuinely consistently care for you & understand you. They'll be like your savior, put on a pedestal, and you'd be devastated at the thought of losing them. Unfortunately, it's not a behavior that one can really avoid through mere warnings. Experience is the greatest - and sometimes the only - teacher. That's my experience as a recovered maladaptive obsessive & love-starved person. I'm sorry that you had to experience the (shit)storm that the broken people have brought with them. It can't be denied that it will do damage and leave scars on the people around them.

I remember finding out about his breakdowns on one fine, sunny afternoon, and crying along with him. I was pretty much just another teenage fan who found comfort and happiness in his Let's Plays or readings. Little did I know the reality of what happened later, I felt so betrayed and let down instead. Man. And he had so much eloquence and humor as well that made him so unique. It's a damn shame he went down the way he did. I am now graduating college in a month from now. More power to the survivors who spoke their truth because they're the real heros in this story.

The same. I got into the game because of him, but barely watch it since I wanted to play it for myself. Taught me a lot about depression and the traps of self deprication. Knowing who Cry really was kind of sour my experince, but just like Eye of Adam, its probably best to just let him be forgotten.

Y'know the shitty part? He was genuinely funny with Felix and Ken when they played stuff together, he had some genuinely good horror let's plays, and he covered a lot of obscure games. He had everything laid out to be a lasting successful channel and he fumbled it all as a person and as a streamer. I'll still go back and watch their Scott Pilgrim video, cause it's still one of my favorite videos of all time.

I've been avoiding this video for a long while on purpose. I knew about Cry's situation even though I haven't watched him for a while, and I couldn't accept it. Cry was a staple in my pre-teen and teen years, a voice that comforted me. I would listen to his videos on readings and watch his horror games which a few in particular, I can't imagine watching anyone else and haven't watched since Cry's situation release. But now hearing this.. is just disappointing. I'm 24 now. I still have favorited videos of animations of Cry and Pewdiepie on this account. To see that go into a man, that's inconsolable on a stream? It was like I watched him fall apart and it was on him. It was completely on him. I don't know how to feel. I feel heartbroken for both the victims and the potential lost here. Pewdiepie is literally living his dream life in Japan now with his family, a child of his own. I don't know what Cry is doing but it's crazy how we meet people, grow relationships and then our paths dramatically change. I hope the victims can seek and secure peace. I hope Cry can come to the understanding of his actions and act upon it to fix what he's broken, by at least preventing it in the future. That's all I can hope for. I would have loved to see Cry on the big platform, laughing and having such deep bonds that pull out these wonderful inside jokes for others to hear, but it completely got ruined by very preventable actions done by Cry. It's such a shame...

I haven't gone back to look at any of Cry's stuff since all this stuff "settled" but I never realized that his godawful (self-flagellating/"I'm sorry for being such a shithead"-esque, hypocritical, manipulative, performative, etc.) behavior revealed in his victims' dms were pretty much *always* present in his videos and streams. He tried to make *his* issues everyone's problem and fucked up a lot of decent people by doing so.

I let myself rot because needing others is bad and people figuring out you're failing is shameful. It's a toxic way to think. I think self-flagellators are just reaching out in the wrong places or to the wrong ppl. I'm not so offended by that aspect.

im still so saddened by this, Cry used to be one of my favorties one of the few people i used to actually watch full lets plays....but now i feel so empty. i was in a bad place back then and he helped me feel better... i felt something empty out of my soul at the time this all came out. like a glass of water being poured down the drain... it just still hurts.... that was the first time i felt so betrayed.

I wasn't planning on interacting with this video because I've heard enough from the old community members who brought it up, and it's been years and his legacy really should fade out - but it appeared on my feed, and the one thing I really do hope the people seeing this for the first time can learn is that the best thing to do is to let Cry be forgotten. As someone who used to be a fan, it really hurt to learn what happened. I was on the YT, Twitch, in the Discord, following on Twitter, and made so many incredible friends along the way, and his content and personality had been so enjoyable and comforting to have been around. Not only did it hurt for me personally, but it also hurt seeing friends who I met through Cry's and LNC's community be hurt because of his wrong doings, some even being direct victims, and that was extremely painful for me to see them confused and processing and so hurt. I couldn't even imagine what the direct victims have been through. To Joon: In a way, I think it's good to have made a recap of what happened for people who had no clue because I'm sure there were people who only ever stuck to KZread. But for the most part, this video really rubbed salt into the wounds of his old fans and especially his victims. I won't say to take it down, but I do hope you can understand that this was honestly not really a great video to upload after, what, 2+ years? Let him be forgotten so that his hurt fans and especially his victims can also forget.

True crime all together wouldn't exist and we would all have no idea about how horrid many many celebrities have been if we just buried the info. Journalism would have no place covering horrid crimes. Some victims want their story / the abuser remembered for what they really were, others want to escape it entirely. I know its messy and complex and my own experience is both. I had one I never wanted anyone to know or god forbid talk about, and another I wanted everyone to know how horrid they really were inside. I don't think this video is in the wrong and it seems extremely sympathetic to the real victims and left off with harsh words on Cry.

​@@brigade7678 I think there's some confusion because I'm not saying to forget what he *did* like it doesn't matter, and if it appeared that way then maybe that was my fault in my wording. I'm more trying to say forget him as the charismatic character many of us came to appreciate, feel comfort with, and idolize, because then that will help his platform and legacy (in that regard) die down. He deserves to be fully deplatformed and to be de-idolized and have his kingdom of popularity die off completely. Not to be confused with forgetting him as a criminal nor his crimes. His crimes definitely mattered to all who cared, and it is definitely serious to account for his horrid actions and let them be known to those who never learned or those who still try to defend him. I definitely said that it's a *good* thing there are people learning now that he did such bad stuff from this video. The reason I am on the side of "let him be forgotten" is because it's been three years. Three years. As an involved community member, I moved on living my life. I do not and will not speak for any victims whatsoever, this is just my thinking and opinions, but I think it's very valid to say that the victims *also* deserve to find peace and justice, move on and not be hung up on this forever. On one's Discord and on another's Twitter, two victims - who if you've been on here and Twitch, you'd know they were big on the Twitch channel and were definitely in a few of his videos - they saw that this video existed and absolutely did not want to be reminded of him in any way whatsoever. For me, if I want to support those victims, no longer speaking about him nor reminiscing his content is putting my energy toward moving on with everyone else without him who wants and needs to move on. I personally haven't seen or heard from victims who still want his crimes plastered everywhere so I don't know how to help those out. I can only help and support in the way I can and know how. As someone who has also experienced both an abuser I never want to remember and some abusers I want everyone to know about, I would prefer to be able to move on with my life either way after dealing with everything, hence myself forgetting enough because I'm in a happier place where I don't need to be any of them. And don't get me wrong, I see and understand your point. I *don't disagree* that it's important for these things to not be buried. But at the same time, they kind of aren't... "buried"-buried? And to clarify what I mean, when I think of "buried" in this context, I mean like, there is active means and people are trying to hide all this stuff. To me and of what I kept up with, it's not that it's actively being hidden, it's just that most people have decided to move on and live their lives, victims included. All the info is there to exist on the internet as long as the internet exists. If it needs to come back, it will. For the victims who it especially mattered to, they dealt with the pain, the drama, videos, DMs, haters, etc those three years ago or so and of course are probably still dealing with it (like when videos like these are made and only make it more of an incentive for people to contact them and bring it up again, which is why I won't name the two victims because they already got reminded and messaged when they didn't want to. I saw one state that these video essays inevitably bring them hate messages, their words not mine, and you gotta admit how shitty unsolicited messages like that can be if they trigger your trauma and pain.) Snake had made it a point during then for any other victims to reach out to him so he can arrange a real legal way to deal with it. What happened with that? I don't know, and nor do I need to if I'm not a victim involved because the real victims need to have their privacy and protection regarding that stuff. They deserve to move on after three years and do things that will make them happy. If there are viewers who wanted to know and haven't been around, Google's right there. Some of the first things I see when typing "what happened to Cryaotic" are the Reddit megathread about it, the Wiki Fandom page, more Reddit, a bunch of YT videos, news/blog websites talking about it. Of course people can get very busy and the pandemic was SO stressful and busy for many, and I will say it again if it wasn't clear - I can see it as good that this video helped people learn what happened. The reason I find the video somewhat distasteful is because a lot of this has been put together many times and is said and done and it's been three years, and maybe that's also coming from a viewpoint where I kept up with a lot of his content and was very involved in the community, but it really feels like beating a dead horse. Idk if it's happened to you before, but sometimes even in good faith, sometimes words or actions won't always translate the way you want them to and can hurt instead. I hope that made sense because I know I typed a lot LMAO

His playthrough of Fragile Dreams was especially memorable, because that game is so rare and impossible to play, since it's never gotten any re-releases, and is only available on the original Wii console. Same with Rule of Rose. His videos are a weird form of game preservation, as it shows an honest, straightforward playthrough of games that are so difficult to acquire now.
