“In the past few weeks, I have realized the folly of my behavior, and have come to terms with how my actions have hurt others. Wonder, I should have never aired your mental health struggles for all to see, nor should I have painted you to be such a negligent person. You deserve better than that. Click, the context you provided to the Discord situation was spot on, and I was wrong for treating it, and you, otherwise. One Topic, I should have shown you more respect than I did, and I apologize. And Oz, while I played up my emotions about the end of our friendship in a misleading way, I genuinely care about you as a person, and a friend. I am sorry to all four of you, and it’s clear that I did much more harm than I thought. Wonder, you don’t have to worry about a lawsuit… please donate that money to the Trevor Project, and in fact, I’ll match your donation. Oz and others, don’t worry about lawsuits… I was trying to intimidate, but there isn’t a case here, and I don’t plan to pursue one.

To my ex boyfriend, I’m sorry. I was overly defensive, and should not have behaved the way I did. I apologize for that.

And to all who plan to visit me in the future, you have my word that I will not throw my turds in the trash can out of desperation. The next time I shit out Mona Lisa’s arm, I’ll try to split that log the way everyone else does.

And to my fans, I promise to do better and grow from this incident. I want to do better because you all deserve that.

Sincerely

Blair “Sarah J Warren” Zon”

Her latest has just over 30k views and has nearly 4x as many dislikes as likes and I cannot find a single positive comment.

Her career is officially a smoldering trainwreck and whilst that does bring me some karmic joy, I'd still rather see her banned off the platform because frankly it's the very least she deserves. Better yet, I hope her attempted legal spiel blows up in her face (I suspect it will) and just dogpiles on her already irreparably damaged career.

I cannot stress how awful a person she is, it actually astounds me.

i am now in a position to be able to say that the protest is going to continue for this subreddit, at very least i plan to go restricted for two days of both weeks remaining to us, however i will also be going thru the mod queue and accept all of your requests to become approved users so that you can continue to use the forum.

please note that my motivation thru these past four weeks when all of this bullshit has gone down has been to keep this subreddit running in the way that you people, the users, want. the reason why i re-opened the sub on tuesday was because you guys obviously wanted to use it (considering there was something like 60 requests received at my end) and between then and now i'v been figuring out a potential plan of action, but first i should explain what has led me to think this way.

huffman saying that the shutdown didn't hurt him, and then later de-modding some mods and reopening their subreddits as Charlie shows in his video that i'v pinned next to this post. we were making a feint to try to get him to reverse these upcoming negative QoL changes to the experience of roughly 1 out of every 8 users, including every blind person on the website, and he's going "come on then! follow through!" which we didn't want to do but, welp, F A F O, right?

he's telling us (the mods and other users who are protesting) that we're like landed gentry, and i mean although he is technically correct about me, he's talking out of his arse about pretty much everyone else, and demonstrating a breathtaking lack of respect for the users who provide content for his website.

[besides, if there's anyone who fits the description of "landed gentry" then it is the lazy fucker who doesn't put in any actual work but instead profits from the sweat of others ... us.

fuck that. we'll go off and make our own casino, with blackjack and hookers. we'll go and walk 10 feet away and put together our own link-sharing website that is distributed and people can run their own instance of it in a hallway cupboard. he wants to act all high-and-mighty because his name is on the letterhead? coolo, he can have his enormous mansion that he'll get evicted from within weeks, we'll go and do our own thing instead.

now, you still listening to motorhead? good. if i typed the nickname of that absolute genius of a legend of metal, i would get banned from reddit two weeks before i plan on leaving. oh well ...

---

ooooh-kaaaaay, i just went thru and accepted a grand total of 80 people, 79 of you guys as well as myself, as approved users of this subreddit. if i had've followed the instructions from the admins that would have taken well over an hour, but thanks to the mod toolbox browser plugin it took less than 10 minutes. wow. that's a big difference, and demonstrates what is at the heart of this issue - the admins are taking away tools that people need in order to make our experience of this website not only tolerable but occasionally pleasant because they're pissed about not getting advertising revenue from the roughly 12% of users who access the site with 3rd-party phone apps. fuck that noise. they promised to not touch any of the moderation apps (YET) and those apps pull much less data thru the API anyway but that "YET" is huge and dark an ominous, and there's no fucking way in fucking hell that i'm going to continue working for those gubba cunt fuckheads for fucking free while getting abused in the process.

i ain't here for their profit, i'm here for your convenience. subreddits are about the users, not the mods or the dickhead who owns majority stake of the building that the servers are housed in. no, this whole website is all about and all thanks to YOU, the users. you're the people who have provided the content that gets aggragated here, and it has been my pleasure to clean up the shit whenever hateful losers throw it at the fan again like has been happening for the past week over here and the past 24 hours over in the magical land of freedom that was lovingly named after a music great.

and it is on that note that i must sadly? no, happily announce that i have absolutely no wish to moderate this community over there, and i don't have to either! other people have made various "communities" (that's what subreddits are called) on many different "instances" which is what they call individual servers. see, that link-aggragating program or whatever it is doesn't exist in a central, tightly-controlled server, oh no! instead the physical computing is distributed between all of the homes where those boxes live, and then they share log files of what content and comments have been posted with each other, and when synced properly they are called "federated" hense the description of the network being the "fediverse" apparently. i can understand it myself but i'm old and i'm tired and it's been a long week so i can't be bothered explaining it any further than that. also, i wanna head off in a different direction now and start getting back into music. i used to be a professional dancer so that's more my scene than multiple faces-for-radio screaming abuse at each other for doing horrible things when they really shouldn't be at all surprised considering how much they represent flaming dumpster fires except with muffin-top leggings instead of shopping trolley wheels

oh yeh, there's another complication. when i went over to have a look at things over there, i noticed that one of the hateful angrybois has squatted on the community name on the largest instense, which is absolutely fine by me. he has no idea what he's doing or apparently even that the videos he puts there are relevant to the name of the community, but hey - more power to him. he's on the "world" instence, but there are other instances, like reddthat or vlemmy, where you would be able to find a home that's better than this dump or maybe you can just work around the clueless mod over there and make it work anyway. there's even a "magazine" on kbin.social that seems to be a direct clone of this place. at any rate, unless someone either finds me over there or DMs me here then i'm just gonna take the pointy hat off and GTFO at the end of the month. huffman thinks stripping mod right from me would be a punishment. he's fucken wrong

---

anyway, there's two weeks before then, and there's 80 of us who are approved to use the subreddit when the place is set to restricted mode. i'm planning on blanking out the sub from tuesday to thursday next week and the weekend after, for no better reason than it will deny the suits at the top of their ivory tower a third of their advertising revenue for the time. fuck 'em sideways in the ear with an icepick, says i, and if i get banned for that then i'll laugh and wave and put on my sunglasses while i GTFO without the door hitting me in the butt on the way out

what do you guys rekon? i'v just laid the cards on the table for you and also gave you my two-weeks notice. would someone like to be modded up to replace me here? would you want to go to one of the places over there where i have had some influence? or would you rather me just fuck off right now and leave you to put up with the spam and the corporate trolls who still infest the place yourselves? i'll stand by whatever the majority decision of the subreddit is.

( in fact, he says live on stream that he’s disappointed he can no longer say the n-word on that account because it’s been exposed ).

He’s trying to spin the ‘I’m just playing a character/social experiment’ argument, the usual suspects are there to back him up, and he’s now going around falsely flagging and striking any comments or videos talking about this even here on Reddit. Dude literally becoming the kind of people he makes his videos about.

Anyway, curious for everyone’s thoughts before Bowblax strikes this thread lol. Do you think it’s no big deal and overblown or..?

The original was posted on /r/youtubedrama by /u/sunspira on 2023-06-16 04:39:30+00:00. *** idk man. i see where they're coming from. they were violently sexually assaulted to the point of forced impregnation and an invasive medical abortion and not being treated for any of that trauma. being close to 30 doesn't make you mentally stable, doesn't eliminate delusional thoughts, nor prevent you from being conditioned via love bombing and gaslighting and other emotional abuses from a celebrity you idolize in an online friendship. they aren't lying or playing victim for describing that important step along the way

it's super unhealthy and messed up to write that graphic fic about a real person and minor. BUT i do take seriously on a human level that they were dealing with unprocessed trauma of their own violent assault and was giving them some relief at the time. it was NOT a good way to cope or process it, and i'm glad they see and say that now. because it's a common and harmful behavior in survivors that should be accurately understood with all the disintegrated illogical mindset behind it at that time to be condemned effectively.

i'm glad they see that their friendships with minors was super harmful for those kids. even if they never wanted to hurt or prey on kids. because we need to face the way that decent hearted people can and often do endanger kids if they are neglectful of important boundaries. they set those kids up for predators to groom them after normalizing poor adult-child boundaries even if they had no intentions for it. that is how these predatory environments actually arise. there are always non pedos with some good intent but toxic boundaries who unknowingly and very dangerously set up kids to be preyed upon and if we erase that complexity we can not prevent the pattern from repeating

it's super terrible that they made videos out of blind trust that ended up being misinformation that demonized another child victim. but i do understand it happened because of this incredibly parasocial and emotionally abusive dynamic of a very mentally vulnerable unstable adult with a celebrity.

i hate those individual things they did. i don't hate them or think they're evil.

endangering minors is very serious regardless of intent. but it seems people don't see that a non pedophile can (and frequently do) contribute to the environments and cultures where actual predators enter and take advantage, while the adult like kodee had zero aim to access kids sexually. people like kodee normalize the poor boundaries they were conditioned with growing up as well. with zero interest or intent to access those poor kids but unknowingly and completely SETTING THEM UP for an actual predator to groom and assault the kids.

adults with internalized unresolved toxic social skills can endanger kids by repeating normalizing the same shitty boundaries groomers use. likely the same ones that were used on them but they haven't yet processed how wrong it was. so to simplify that incredibly dangerous, complex and considerably less malicious mistake pattern into "full on kodee is a pedo obviously and actually attracted to and going after kids" is so far removed from what they reported which all together makes legitimate believable sense as how they became an accidental pedo enabler. which is still AWFUL. you can be mad about that. but it's still not the same as an intentional predator themselves.

sadly it's removing all that lesson about how well intended adults do harm. few see themselves as a pedo but MANY people with good intent endanger kids and enable pedos and NEED to know how that process happens, good intentions be damned!

and furthermore it's just insane to me to see them mocked for having a public meltdown. cause probably anyone with sexual assault trauma of their own being called a child assaulter falsely and NO one believe them could trigger a massive melt down! i think being grouped with your own abuser when you know it's not that simple is one of the most triggering things a survivor can experience. THAT specifically is why i say i'm feeling sorry for them now!

I want kodee to be seen, disliked, even hated for things they ACTUALLY did wrong. which was PLENTY! not for things that were sensationalized and oversimplified. I take huge issue with people like petty paige saying they're "making themselves out to be the victim" Kodee IS a victim here, and a perpetrator, they are both. they got into a deeply enmeshed cult like online relationship with the celebrity they admire most. they are allowed to have sorrow and horror and post traumatic stress from that. and they NEED to be able to share exactly what lead them to go from legitimate victim into legitimate perpetrator so that the public can understand this process !!!

this was an untreated abuse survivor, which means a person used to being used and completely conditioned out of knowing their boundaries nor trusting their perceptions against authority figures / idols, before they even met colleen, thinking they were standing up for a victim (colleen) against an abuser (adam) when in reality it was completely the opposite, with adam as one of colleen's victims of abuse. anyone who has been severely abused and never processed it can easily fall into this delusion, as long as they genuinely think they are helping a "victim" they can potentially be clouded in their judgement.

regardless of intentions and reasons they ended up creating and doing harm. and they agree that the fanfic and friendships with minors were harmful. spreading misinformation without questioning it because of their own projected good guy inflated ego and enmeshment as a very isolated person in the love bomb and gaslight cycle with a celebrity they adore. i DO think that matters immensely because this is part of how abuse really works.

abusers have multiple "flying monkey" like vulnerable people almost brainwashed because their sickness and unresolved projections made them so easy to manipulate in a way that they think they're on the side of good and defeating someone who's just like their abuser while all along doing the abusers dirty work. this is a mindfuck some adults simply have not lived through and may not understand. of course you should be angry about their stupidity and selfishness at the time but to call them a sociopath and groomer for me is so far off the mark

it's irritating hearing hoards of 20 year olds once again unable to understand that people are not automatically healed and self aware by age 30. maybe your mental low point was at 15. for others their worst, most rage filled, most detached from reality mental low point happens to them after 25. especially when new traumatic life events or being targeted for systematic soul and mind crumbling abuse or the onset of severe mental illness or culmination of past untreated illness into total nervous breakdown are ALL risks that do not REMOTELY go away after being big and grown and 30

it's bizarre how all that relevant context from an actual victim is being called trauma dumping. i don't have to hate kodee to also feel terrible for adam. the emotional immaturity and cruelty from this very young and loud age group is exhausting. i know it's your age and you can't help it, but it can all feel a little crazy sometimes.

i hope they're ok

I don't really know these people. Sounds like illuminaughtii is a terrible person. But all the commentary channels coming for Blair for posting someone's \\\\\\\* note, contribute to the problem by talking about it as well. It can be pretty triggering for people going through it, and I feel like the commentary channels talk about it more to hate on Blair, and less to show concern for the man who wrote it. I feel like the 'commentary' is eating itself. It's now a space where people just talk about each other. It's just drama, gossip, and tea that is simply 're-branded' as commentary. These are people's lives, not a reality TV show.

Edit to add: it's not about whether they show it or not. It's about the fact that they talk about it as evidence that Blair is a bad person, in order to get views on sponsored videos....as if that isn't contributing to the problem, and not problematic within itself.

The channel has been linked in her linktree for well over a month now, possibly since the day it was made.

I dislike Blair as much as the next person for her own actions recently (for example), and there is PLENTY to legitimately criticize.

I'm so disappointed because recently the topics look interesting.

I actually want to make a channel of my own but I don't know how. How to edit, if I need to buy stock photos and how much it costs.

That actually got me thinking. Specifically, it makes me think that Blair doesn't know what an NDA is, and may be misconstruing just what an NDA is, and isn't.

With NDA's, to make them actually able to be enforced, they need to be very specific about what they cover. They can't be blanket terms that cover anything and everything.

For example, an NDA for a youtube editor would typically only cover planned or future video ideas, and private discussions in reference to videos being produced. Anything outside of that, such as discussions not related to videos being produced, aren't covered.

What's more, an NDA must be actually signed to be enforced. It's not a simple case of "I don't want you talking about this." A person actually has to sign the things. You can't just go off of verbal assent alone.

So, could an NDA be enforced against Wonder?

Honestly... no.

So there's three reasons why Blair wouldn't have a case for breach of confidence (breach of NDA).

First and foremost, anything Wonder has stated, to this point, would fall well outside the scope of an NDA. Going back to the earlier point, NDA's must be very specific about what they cover. They can't just be blanket "You can't talk about anything... ever" type of statements. So while he may be under an NDA for his work with Blair, there's no kind of NDA out there that would prevent him from talking about anything... ever.

Second, Wonder hasn't said anything that would constitute a breach of confidence. He's not been posting step by step videos about how to recreate Blair's videos, nor posting her internal research methods, nor any planned or future videos that haven't been released. He's only been talking about his personal experiences, which can never be covered under an NDA to begin with.

The third and last one is the most surprising.

There is one way he could breach the NDA (if he has one), and still not be sued. It's under the whistleblower laws and statutes. I won't go into the specific letter of these laws, as it covers some 200 pages to do, but the gist of the whistleblower laws is that if an employee discovers, or knows that an employer is taking actions that are illegal, then the employee is legally allowed to blow the whistle on this activity and bring it to light, regardless of if that employer's actions would normally be protected by a NDA. Meaning that if Wonder knew Blair was breaking the law (harassment of others would certainly qualify), then Wonder would legally be well within his rights to expose that behavior, as NDA's can not serve as protection against legal repercussions for behavior.

Note: The reason I know as much as I do about these things, is I'm currently under one now for a game development company I work for; and I've also had jobs covered by them in the past, so I've some pretty extensive experience with them.
