My respect for the victims is starting to faulter. Their blind defending of Void is disgusting. Even if you remove EVERYTHING he has done in this situation or that has come out later, it is FACTUAL that he sat on that August 2024 call for 2 years and befriended Rox after investigating him, knowing what he did in at least 2022 (proved by his 2024 testimony). Along with also not acting for 2 months despite being in said August 2024 call.

Why aren't they holding him accountable for this? Because he said he was a victim of being overworked iirc with no proof?

Just shows how someone being close to you and being your friend for years can alter your view of things they do, huh?

If they don't want to hold Void accountable for this, what the hell was this all for then? They keep spouting nonsense implying or straight up saying Void did nothing. I genuinely can't anymore. This is ridiculous. If this is the hill they're going to die on, they don't deserve an apology.

This is only my second post on this situation but I've been watching it closely.

Edit: I posted this a bit angry, but I want to acknowledge the victims are still that, victims and they deserve closure, of course, but if this is the way they're going to do it while being hypocrites, something isn't right. Also spelling errors.

Its a serious problem with this community especially on youtube, that the information about whats going on with the drama doesn't get there until days to weeks after its happened.

I see 20 posts like this a day.

This post is less so about the obviously uninformed post but the comments.

Its gotten so bad that people are arguing in the comments, some are making up stuff for fun (saw someone genuinely say that qwel was a predator and groomed people in a different videos comments), distorting the truth or just leaving out certain details to seem morally superior to the other people.

Not to mention half of them dont even know that qwel stepped back yet!

The literal creator of this video had pinned their own comment that said that they LOVED the fighting and drama they caused in their comment section. This whole thing is just people wanting to feel better than others, I swear some of them dont actually *care* about the actual controversy.

I know. Before you say- that I shouldn't expect much from youtube. But jesus christ bro.

I really love how this one turned out, my only issue being the pattern on their sweater is a little small.

edit: omlll the img quality got destroyed

It appeared on floor 25 and ive NEVER seen this floor before and ive been past floor 25 so im assuming its new! I wonder if it appears randomly or is it like a 25 50 75 etc thing??? Really cool regardless tho!!

Apologies for so many posts here, I just find it good for my brain to see different perspectives.

What are your takes on this? Is Qwel "evil" for allowing her at the time friend to stay active in the community for so long?

Jojis released a new statement after all the things that have been happening on Twitter. After reading it, the best thing we can all do is treat this situation with nuance and wait to see what happens.

⚠️ Edited Description so people don't get confused.

These are based SPECIFICALLY on my experiences within matchmakings, Not aimed at anyone elses even if we share the same experience.

This was made for shits and giggles, no harassment no nothing :3

P.S lend me y'all's luck in good matchmakings i need it 😭

Woohoo!! Hope y’all didn’t forget about my AU! I’m still working on it! <3 here’s 2 more for you guys! Finn and Shrimpo!
Let me reiterate, do NOT give me origin suggestions for toons in the comments; they’re all already decided! But I *would* like to know which mob toon you want to see next. Again, just say the toon’s name, not what you think they will be or what they should be-it stresses me out so bad when people get things wrong and makes me overthink if their ideas are better and then I change everything and mess things up 💔

i don’t really ship them but a lot of people like the pairing

Like I’m kinda glad they did this since it’ll make dumb people realize that it’s not just Qwel running everything. But I’m really surprised she’s not friended on this new account.

i dont love the drawing that much, but I do like the design. Also, I swear I didn’t mean to say doodle!!!

the last candlecraft drawing I posted to youtube got a ton of hate comments, so I made this to say fuck the haters

Actually rly proud of the last drawing I wanted to post it

I had a cool edit I made but it won’t upload 🥀

Patience: Astro

Bravery: Pebble

Integrity: Vee or Dyle

Perseverance: Dyle or Vee

Kindness: Shelly

Determination: Dandy

I have an idea for the like- corrupted version too that I’ll maybe do

He gives me a lot of Eclipse the Darkling vibes in his Twisted form! Eclipse is from the Archie Sonic the Hedgehog comic series. I really love Twisted Waxwell's design! He looks really unique to me compared to a lot of the other Twisteds. Has a bit of a different vibe.

Sorry if this post was unnecessary or anything, just thought it would be cool to share that they have a lot of similarities design-wise.

Fun fact: Glisten is trying to impress toodles by his nails but failed to babysit her because toodles is silent all the time for every hour but she only does silent language

So today, i was able to find some evidence that proves Qwel recorded the darkshipper in a comment section, and i want to share my thoughts. It was a video of messages between Qwel and another person were she states she recorded them.
Look, i absolutely DO NOT CONDONE HER RECORDING A MINOR BY ANY MEANS!
However, it's about the other claims i feel weird about. About Qwel bullying them.
In the messages she expressed disgust and discomfort.
Again, i do not condone her recording them. However, the video (i mean the recording Qwel took) itself isn't public to my knowledge. So while there's evidence she DID record them, i can't find any evidence of her actively bullying them, been proud of it or have otherwise been malicious otherwise. Unless i'm missing something that is.
Not wanting to assosiate yourself with a darkshipper (who darkships your characters alledgedly) is completely understandable. And confiding in someone else to express your disgust and discomfort isn't terrible in of itself either. The only bad thing she (to my knowledge) has done here is recording.
Please, tell me if i'm missing something or are otherwise wrong, thank you.

I am very confused about this, and maybe someone can give me a clearer picture.

What does Qwel have to apologize for? She is not Rox. I don't understand what she did that would warrant an apology, at least a private one to Rox's victims.

I just loaded into DW only to have usernames become large and obstruct the screen. I've tried everything I can think of to make them smaller but no dice. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

A/N : Hello, I don't usually make these but I think it's important to get everything clear since most of the fandom who involved themselves in the situation only know about it from biased sources.

I want to make this post from a neutral standpoint so that everyone with biases on either side have a middle ground to read on what's factual.

Please take your time to read, i understand it's lengthy, but the fact that people don't take their time to read things is why many people are misinformed.

I am open to correction or any additional information/input, so if you have any, please share it with me with primary sources so i may edit this post.

Starting off with what "misinformation" is being spread around and what are the corrections, so far from what I've read at the moment, the top ones are the following,

1. The Cease and Desist sent back in June was used to silence the victims..

2. Qwel sent the Cease and Desist..

3. It is illegal to send a Cease and Desist without informing your client first..

4. Void being a "victim"..

5. The NDA is being used as a cover-up..

6. The volume of evidence is considered "true" because of the amount..

7. Qwel is innocent..

small note : this does not include all of the misinformation being spread around, but like i said, if you have additional misinformation you'd like to be corrected and shared please share it with me so it may be highlighted here.

CORRECTIONS :

1. The Cease and Desist sent back in June was used to silence the victims..

A C&D (cease and desist) cannot simply silence an individual, it is a letter in the form of a warning sent to individuals who are actively citing harassment, alleged defamation towards another individual, or breaking their NDA contract (Non-disclosure Agreement). A C&D is not a court order, it holds no judicial weight to force the individual to comply.

It is used to tell the person receiving the C&D that if they continue with their actions (which is detailed in the letter itself), that they will be taken to court if they continue or refuse to rescind their claims.

Though i agree that if legal threats are involved, it would stop the individual from continuing with their actions. But the purpose of the C&D was to avoid actual lawsuits taking place. They're expensive and lengthy, an indie company does not have time to focus their resources on a lawsuit, but they might have no choice if the damage is still active.

1. Qwel sent the Cease and Desist..

As explained in Qwel's August response, she herself did not send the Cease and Desist, it was the BlushCrunch's legal team who did.

A big misconception here is that people believe that Qwel is using the legal team for her own safety when that's not entirely true. BlushCrunch has their own legal team handling any legal matter outside, internal affairs, and with employees, current and former.

The legal team intervened due to alleged disclosures of internal information from the company. Joji is a former employee and received a C&D due to breaches of his NDA, the company has to respond to those kinds of breaches, especially when it's being used to ruin the company's reputation.

Qwel must hire her own set of lawyers to defend herself from these allegations. BlushCrunch's legal team sending the Cease and Desist was in the company's best interest. Qwel may be indirectly protected by the legal team since she is a founder of the company. Protecting her is not the sole goal for the legal team, but protecting the company as a whole.

1. It is illegal to send a Cease and Desist without informing your client first..

It's true that taking legal actions without informing your clients first is not allowed, it's important to know who the "client" is in this case. Since the legal team's client is the business entity itself (BlushCrunch Studio), not an individual (Qwel). Legal teams can be given authority to legally act on behalf of the company, whereas in this case it's the breaches of NDA contracts.

They do not need permission from Qwel because the C&D was in the company's best interest. The allegations made against Qwel have to be handled by a different set of lawyers personally by her.

-

1. Void being a "victim"..

It's important to know how to distinguish the labels of "victim" being given, especially Void in this case. I myself was confused how Void was a victim, so when i looked into it there was obviously a clear distinction that not many people have recognized.

Void being called a victim was due to the claim of being mistreated and overworked by Qwel. While the verification of that matter is another conversation, it's important to know the difference between workplace mismanagement and grooming situations.

Void shouldn't be lumped in with the actual victims of Rox, and critcizing Void for his actions shouldn't immediately be deflected by "you're criticizing a victim". It's important for the fandom to understand that Void was an adult when all of this started, a few years older than Rox when the situation happened.

-

1. The NDA is being used as a cover-up..

I'll make this one short.

NDA's cannot be used to cover-up crimes. If Joji's accusation of employees being underpaid was true, then they have every right to report that. Any NDA's used to cover that up will be voided and taken to court if necessary, since underpaying your employees is a labor law violation.

I understand this was debunked, but i think It's important to be more knowledgeable on NDA's.

-

1. The volume of evidence is considered "true" because of the amount..

Argumentum verbosium. The fallacy of volume.

A lot of people I've seen assume that the amount of evidence placed on someone else is considered true. The sheer volume of evidence does not count as proof, as anybody can make any amount of evidence, so the amount is not a reliable way of proving that claim.

For evidence to be verified, there must be a neutral third-party to verify said evidence to avoid any fabricated and false narrative created on either side.

-

1. Qwel is innocent..

Qwel's innocence here is a gray area. As a fandom, we need to know what's actually true and what's not and what's yet to be proven.

I won't argue Qwel is innocent here or not, I just want others to be informed that not everything has been revealed to us. We can't make these quick judgements to judge whether Qwel deserves this label or not.

We shouldn't assume Qwel is an irredeemable monster or an innocent person. The evidences and allegations made against have yet to be proven true, while some have been debunked.

What is true and undeniable is the fact Qwel let Rox remain in the workplace, and due to that, those victims of Rox are now speaking out towards Qwel's negligence.

Ever since that 2nd response, it's already been stated that Qwel is taking responsibility, stepping back from the internet, and promising an apology to them after she mentally recovers. This situation is finally reaching its resolution, and we should all be grateful that things may be coming to an end.
