In the past I've spoken about how 2013/2014 were some of the greatest and more formative years of my life, particularly because of Alex and others. I was a massive fan of Alax. and looked up to him a lot because of the work that went into his videos. I joined his discord server
in it's early stages, allowing me to interact with him, I even helped him out with a video once and he modded me. I didn't talk to him too much privately, but I did get to know him a bit. To the point where I'd call him a friend, but not close.pic.twitter.com/mo99r8IowH
He even sent me a bday message once. Like, I respected the man and he thought I was cool. That's basically the foundation of my relationship with him, nothing major.pic.twitter.com/6UoryRoNxl
And then I saw this: https://twitter.com/bobdunga92/status/1134444680165437440?s=20 … Abuse is a difficult subject online, there will always be toxicity, but I chose to believe this because whether you look up to someone or not, they can still do horrid things that you have no idea about. Victims are rarely believed.
And I saw it all, people going after Raven, attacking her. This tweet in particular stuck out in my mind. It was disgusting and I kept thinking about it.pic.twitter.com/eNtrmJJwGJ
Then Alax made his statement. And man, I wanted to believe him. But it felt off in a way. Such a big wall of text and yet not much is really said. But I didn't really know anything, so I couldn't say anything. I was soft and indecisive back then, so I just believed both.pic.twitter.com/JmYg3Q2tiU
And then a friend linked me this https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YupEt8Xv3FeXN0tYxkre84s7xnhDfN3Zccfk_7lnX34/edit … A person's experience with Alax and his control over things. I'll admit this doc is a mixed bag but it might help you understand the kind of things Alax does, even with the mistakes of the OP.
And I started thinking about it more and more. After a while I chose to cut ties with his community. I framed it as me leaving because I didn't really feel connected and while that's true I still felt uncomfortable, especially with how the other mods would talk about it all.
I'd stopped watching Alax's content too because I didn't want to support an abuser You might have seen in that google doc that some tweets from Aurum were linked. I don't know if I saw these before or after, but I decided to message Alax. He was on my friends list stillpic.twitter.com/g1yH7BN0HK
I started it like this, I wanted to discuss it but I was anxious, unsure of how to approach it in a way that wouldn't upset him...pic.twitter.com/ur1c4tLvZl
And I'm ashamed I didn't just be forward with it But I said what I could at the time.pic.twitter.com/Tei3OMSGHT
But you see, I wanted him to be honest. Part of me was mad how he kept dodging around it all, but part of me still looked up to him, and when he sent me this I kind of went with it because I didn't want to press anymore in someone elses business. But truth be toldpic.twitter.com/tIbU2Vl79Y
All he said was nothing He wasn't going to do anything Not about what he did, not about what his fans were doing, just letting it all blow over. And honestly is was scary seeing just how swamped Raven was by all his fans.
And I saw Aurum's tweets, and I saw Syn's doc and the statement and my own talk with him. And it all came together, how he controls the situation, and as long as his optics are good, it doesn't matter. Maybe that's why he did nothing about his fans, they probably drowned out
The accusations and Raven's supporters. I was not abused. I didn't know Alax that well. But it stings you know. Why couldn't you just be honest Alex? Why would you make someone live with the thought that the person who hurt them is thriving while he hides these things?
Time went on and my respect was just replaced with anger, and god I wish I could've said something but I didn't think I would be able to do anything about the hordes of people who would defend him, I don't think I would be able even now.
I stand with Raven. I've heard her story, I've experienced Alax's tricks, and abusers are rarely heard. Regardless of how hollow my story may seem, I hope it helps people understand. And Alex, if you're seeing this I've got no respect for someone who hurt others and cry foul.
Believe if you want to. This is just my story, and there's not much to it.
