Certain people will not stop trying to create division in the ESO category, nor stop their attacks on marginalized streamers. So I feel it's time I am public on what has been going on.
Not a post I wanted to make, as my focus is on fun & exciting ESO Content, but here we are.
Late March of this year NotACop1022 DM’d me screenshots of a conversation he’d had with ManCaveGaming regarding his stream team and members of it. Trying to get me to take a stand against MCG and these members, as well as another streamer who had asked to not associate with him. I told him people had the right to not collaborate with him & he should let it be.
This did prompt me to reach out to these people and do my own research. I got their stories, receipts, and did my homework further. I found he’d tweeted about them, DM’d others, and was using my chat to make them feel unwelcome there. I also found tweet replies in support of Anti-Trans legislation (since deleted, but I have screenshots).
This made me look into our past conversations. I found questions I thought he’d made to me in good faith about LGBTQIA+ issues, specifical Trans issues were almost always targeted at other creators (as were other comments) looking for me to likely respond in a way to validate him or weaponize against others.
These things led to a ban on my channel on April 8th. I DM’d him why, also a response to a ‘question’ regarding gender affirming care for Trans youths being out of line, and also blocked him on Discord & Twitter. This should’ve been the end of it. To be very clear, this was NOT about Harry Potter (a lie that has been stated to at least two creators I’ve talked with).
GoldShenanigans would then DM me regarding this, stating he’d lost respect for me and that I was acting unfairly. Let’s be clear, I will ban people in my channel on a ‘bad vibe’ let alone valid issues of bigotry and harassment. Based on Discord posts by Gold and Tweets, I also blocked him and moved on. I had a Subathon, Vegas, and Moving House after all.
Unfortunately, this was not the end and for six weeks NotACop1022 & GoldShenanigans have continued a concentrated effort to alienate me, MCG, and other marginalized creators from the ESO streaming space. Causing countless issues, attacking us, and otherwise doing things to create division in a space known for (mostly) having very little of that.
A list of some of the things he’s been doing:
~ DM’d creators with DMs taken out of context or edited and sent to creators in the space trying to cause issues with me and these creators (confirmed by these creators reaching out to me).
He also had in the past lied to me and others to create divisions, that I’ve had to repair due to falling to the misinformation myself.
~ DM’d streamers of streams I was in while live with this drama trying to get them to have an issue with me and/or ban me on the spot.
~ Being highly active in other streamers chats, @’ing me, replying to things I say, and anything he thinks will make me feel uncomfortable there.
~ DM’d (damn near) all ESO streamers to proclaim people (me) were out to get him and to defend himself despite no attacks targeted at him. If they’d respond to that DM, he’d misrepresent the situation (again a habit if we go back to his DM about MCG to me).
Prior to me hearing from other streamers and a sponsor, I had stayed quiet on this other than to my mod team and a few shared a ban list with.
~ Reached out to my Sponsors and Game Partners with false information trying to hurt my finances and opportunities. He has also reached out to at least one streamers IRL Partner trying to cause relationship issues at home for them.
~ Weaponized the ‘Shared Ban Feature’ by mass sending it to creators hoping they’d accept, some did not know what was up, so we’d be alienated from those streams or think we were unwanted there.
This point is worth expanding on as when he broke up with his ex, he presented her to me as obsessive, denied a relationship, and said she was a stalker (playing on my experiences with stalking) when I asked about the shared ban. I later found out this was untrue and it was him trying to alienate her from the community.
This is going on with ANY creator who bans him. The truth is his own actions, like when he DM’d me and I looked into it, have led to his bans from further and further spaces. Everytime he gets banned, he does the same things to them as he did to me, such as @’ing them in other chats, DM’ing people about them, etc. His behavior is causing these bans, not some conspiracy against him.
Every week this escalates. It’s had an effect on my relationship with some creators, especially newer ones in the space. Caused others he is harassing to quit, contemplate quitting, etc. Caused me to focus on this other than things like ESO PRIDE, Fashion Shows, and the things we enjoy as a community.
I know some will write this off as drama, but existing as a marginalized creator, A trans queer streamer who actively works in the LGBTQIA+ space isn’t drama. It’s my existence, so I ask you to at least take into account that almost everyone affected by them are marginalized creators in our space.
Take this information and at least know what is going on. While I’m not asking others to ban these people, I think it’s important this information be out there so if you see it you know that it is a pattern of behavior.
If you are a marginalized creator who has been the victim of these people or anyone in this space, my DM’s are always open. You are valid and welcome here. I also would never put a victim's name out there without permission.
While I have banned others, they have not persisted in their behaviors so I’ve left them off here and hope they can grow and learn. However, I truly believe NotACop1022 & GoldShenanigans are actively vindictive, want to divide the community, and have benefited from working in the shadows with this not public.
So now it’s very public.
I am not going to be intimidated or run off, and damn sure will not let other marginalized creators who have a less established platform be victimized by bad actors. My space will remain safe, my doors open, and I’ll continue to promote inclusivity in ESO and in Streaming. I’ve dealt with the hate raids, doxxing, SWATing, stalking, and now this to shall pass and we’ll continue our amazing journey together.
I welcome conversation, but know this is all based on a lot of information gathering and my stance won’t change. Also, I had to get Twitter Blue so I could respond in a way that wouldn’t get buried and that upsets me.
For those that read all this, thanks for your time. Hopefully this will get on on the road and back to an amazing future with Necrom, ESO PRIDE, and more! I just wouldn’t deserve my platform, built on being inclusive and a safe space, if I stayed quiet on what has been happening to me and other marginalized creators.

@TESOnline This has been quite the year! High Isle is gorgeous, I could lie in the sunflower fields for hourssss. I got my first Dawnbringer and Godslayer within the first 5 months of this year, couldn’t be more proud of where I’ve come up to 🥺 I also finished my house! #LegacyOfTheBretons
@TESOnline Another thing is to make sure you are stocked up on bait since each node uses a different kind of bait + you don’t want to be out of bait mid-way!
There are likely fishing add-ons for PC. So for console, you can easily Google up fishing node maps for each zone and fish away~
@TESOnline Make sure to use Artaeum Pickled Fish bowl with the Reel Technique and Angler’s Instinct CP (Green Tree). If you are using a controller you can turn on controller vibration if you want to do something on the side while you’re fishing because it’ll vibrate when it’s time to reel.
@TESOnline Also, don’t be too scared to go into Cyrodiil because a lot of the fishing nodes are towards areas that people don’t generally look at. You can also go to dead campaigns / wait for non-peak hours and fish too!
