After the number of people who inquired about Chuggaaconroy over MAGfest, I feel I need to make this clear: I have not associated with Emile for years, nor are we friends. 🧵1/8

Any cameo (Splatoon 2, recorded long before our falling out) or interaction/mention (Colosseum Twitch chat) was posted and done without my consent after I had made it clear that I did not want to be associated. 2/8

I am uncomfortable with the way he has talked to/about me in the past, which has been a huge point of distress. Combined with the way he’s spoken to/about others (particularly women) in private and public, it is concerning, and I do not want to associate with that behavior. 3/8

Emile has historically been one to push boundaries, and being faced with a following as large as his is absolutely harrowing. Even establishing my own personal boundaries carries an inherent risk. For a long time, not "rocking the boat" felt like the safer option. 4/8

I have seen the recent posts and his apology. I've privately received several from him over the years that have rung hollow with his actions. I am tired of hearing it, have no more chances to give, and am exhausted from pretending/politely dodging topics when he is brought up 5/8

For my own comfort and safety, I will not be attending events that he will be at unless it is a public space where I am able to avoid him (large-scale conventions). I have not seen him in years, and I have no intention to start again now. 6/8

To those who have unknowingly asked me questions about him, either at MAGfest, in private, or in chat/comments, I hold absolutely no ill will and I do not fault you. But moving forward, I will not be reciprocating discussion about Emile further, in any capacity. 7/8

This is my personal line in the sand, made because I no longer want to quietly tolerate people speaking for me, assuming the wrong things, or incorrectly associating us as friends/collaborators. To those who have also been hurt, I empathize with you and wish you all strength. 8/8
