Hey all.
I want you all to know that I'm a good dude, and that I want to make Sonic content everyone can enjoy.
I want to be completely open with you guys, so do me this favor. Don't explode, just ask me about what you want to in the comments and I'll explain myself. (1/2)
@boneys_network@BoostBracelet Yes. To a group that refers to themselves as such. A group I was apart of. However, this was the first time it was clear I was NOT actually welcome to laugh with them.
@BoostBracelet Apparently, I was not (nor would become) close enough. I apologized--multiple times--and explained my intent.
Despite this happening eight months ago, you guys LOVE bringing this up. You've held it over my head multiple times regardless of what I do. It's gotten malicious.
@BoostBracelet You know how there are jokes you make with your friend group that you don't make with others? I was apart of the friend group. Had been for a while. Once she (and others) called HERSELF that, that told me I was given the green light to crack jokes like that as well. (1/2)
I assumed for him what I assume for my own platform, that I'm not big enough that people watch for ME, just my work. I think Zach is an incredibly talented creator, and I'm glad his channel is doing well. That being said, (1.2/2)
Some things I've felt sorry for since, others you've only heard one side about. This could quickly explode into a he said/she said, but I'd rather it not. Just hear me out.
Some of you will immediately go "No, you lost that right when you said-" but we've GOTTA communicate (2/2)
@Cruncher_Munch I’ll be real with you, I was in shock, “prayers to his family, he was so young.” I loved that guy and I meant nothing BUT respect.
I’m sorry if it came off as disrespectful—knowing his views on WB being sold to SkyDance, I like to think he'd have gotten a laugh out of that.
