soon, maybe a week or two from now, we won’t have any need to talk about these people again. i’m looking forward to that. it’ll be sooner than you think.
I think the worst part of the AvidMC situation is how many viewers convinced themselves that they were going crazy every time they would do/say something distatseful. Me included. "Oh, they couldn't possibly mean THAT, right?"
knowing now that avid had been planning(?) on taking pow down, them shaming owen on gen ai usage so quickly and publicly reminds me very much of a shark sensing blood in the water. i know that i might be a little biased as an owen fan, but i feel this isn't any coincidence.
posting a retirement announcement knowing full well that shit was bout to go down is a cowards way out of taking accountability for your actions. what a genuinely disgraceful way to end your career.
@emery110_x yeah, i said this is another tweet but with them “willingly” retiring it doesnt really feel like an actual consequences given since they got to choose that consequence themselves and wont really help them change for the better. i do think letting them fade is for the best tho
death fantasies, false rape allegations, being homophobic, spreading lies, gaslighting, isolating, blatant manipulation and abuse, and so much more towards people you say are your friends is disgusting and horrifying behaviour and is not normal in any sense. love to all affected.
Today has been a chaotic day. I know many are still processing. Please take the time you all need, everyone. For everyone who has reached out to me - thank you. It's meant the world.
I will be live tomorrow around 2pm EST, we'll talk briefly on this, and then never again.
Feel like this goes without saying but please don't pester other creators who were ever involved with Avid or Marm to make a statement or address everything. Their private lives are not our business and people who were affected will deal with it in their own way
I've been aware of stuff going on for a while and have tried to chat behind the scenes to resolve without the public blow up. I can't believe avid and marm would go this far. Avid isn't the same person I met a year ago.. I sincerely hope they get professional help. They need it.
even in his last message, it was still fucking manipulative. "for the physical and emotional safety of myself, my wife and my children" dont fucking piss me off man. that entire last paragraph too talking about the "community" hes built and how it will live on without himL
This situation with avid and marm is also again a very good example of why you shouldn't parasocially idolize any celebrities or content creators, because you do not know them, they are not your friend. You don't know what goes on behind the curtains.
