![]() The next major event occurred on 10th July. While I think people have the right to know these things, I felt like Chaz’s witch-hunting was somewhat unsettling. On 9th July, Chaz called out another YouTuber, who I won’t mention because their situation is extremely borderline. During the Mangs event, many YouTubers were commended for their handling of the situation and their support. However, things wouldn’t end quite so nicely…Ī little background detail. It seemed like the community could handle itself maturely when it came to these serious allegations. People all around could see the immense support provided to Goosaphone and the others who spoke up. Initially, Mangs attempted to deny all wrong-doing, but as the evidence piled higher and higher, he eventually conceded and admitted his guilt.Īt this point, it was a harrowing experience for the Fire Emblem community in general, but there was a visible light at the end of the tunnel. Before long, other victims or would-be-victims came to share their experiences of Mangs. Goosaphone’s accusations were mostly met with sympathy and she was praised for speaking up many big Fire Emblem YouTubers rallied to support her. So it wasn’t entirely unexpected to see it spread here. Previously, many Internet personalities were being outed for unsavoury sexual behaviour–many from within the Smash Bros. In the public’s eye, the story begins on 8th July, when a female YouTuber named Goosaphone posted an accusation towards Mangs, of sexual assault during their time at Anime North of Summer 2019. Also, I don’t know the truth behind the events and I probably never will. Everyone should be entitled to their own opinion and I dare not claim to represent everyone. They do not reflect the rest of the Serenes Forest team, nor its community. In addition, I must emphasise: the contents of this article are solely the opinion of myself. Although (judging by how events have unfolded) social media may not be the best place. If anyone has been the subject of sexual harassment/abuse, I believe they should have a safe platform to speak up. However, events escalated in such a manner that I think it would be wrong for me to stay silent.īefore I get into the details, I want to be clear: sexual harassment and abuse are completely unacceptable, whether you belong to the Fire Emblem community or elsewhere. Ordinarily, we wouldn’t get involved because, besides our shared passion for the Fire Emblem series, there’s nothing to tie us together. Last week, two prominent members of the Fire Emblem YouTube community– Mangs and Chaz Aria LLC–were accused on social media of sexual assault (the former) and sexual coercion (the latter). ![]()
