My Final Statement on the ET Situation

Disclaimer: I used templates and programmatic proofreading to assist with the creation of this statement, but these words are of my own creation at the core.

Updated: 27 January 2025

I want to begin by addressing an important matter that has contributed to recent confusion and concern. On the morning of 25 January 2025, my main Twitter account was compromised. Although I am unsure of the exact method used to gain access, I observed that my phone number was removed from the account, and two-factor authentication was disabled. During this time, tweets were posted without my knowledge or consent, which were racist in nature and appeared to be designed to provoke suspension of the account by Twitter.

In response, I acted quickly to limit further damage by changing the account’s username (@) and creating a new account with the original username to protect the username. Once I had secured the username, I deactivated the compromised account to prevent further unauthorised activity. I intend to recover this account if I can figure out a safe method of doing so.

Now, I would like to address some events that have unfolded within the community and clarify my perspective on the allegations that have been raised.

Addressing the Situation with Blazey

Starting on 15 January 2025 and continuing into 16 January 2025, Blazey reappeared in the community and engaged in behaviour I believe was both harmful and illegal. Specifically, he publicly shared personal information related to Tommo’s dad, an action I believe violated the Communications Act 2003 and/or the Malicious Communications Act 1988. Such actions are not only unethical but could also carry serious legal consequences.

When I voiced my concern and spoke out against his actions, Blazey retaliated by making false allegations against me, claiming that I had sent him illegal material in direct messages. To be unequivocally clear, I strongly deny these claims. The only material I shared were publicly available links to adult content that is legal and consensual. I reject any suggestion to the contrary.

At the time, I published a Twitter Article to provide transparency, which included the entirety of my direct messages with Blazey. Unfortunately, this Article is no longer accessible due to my account’s compromise and deactivation.

Blazey’s actions follow a pattern of behaviour that I and others in the ET community have observed over time. He often targets individuals within the community, later deactivates his account, and then re-emerges after a week to a month to resume similar behaviour. Recently, Blazey returned to the community again, escalating accusations and making threats. Among these threats was a veiled threat to SWAT me, which was particularly distressing. I reported this threat to the relevant authorities for potential prosecution, as such threats are serious and can have severe consequences for the safety of targeted individuals, and those surrounding them.

Addressing the Situation with Callum

Separately, Callum has alleged that I sent inappropriate messages to him while he was 17 years old. I also want to address an additional claim that has surfaced alongside this: I have been accused of being 28 years old. This is simply not true. I am not nearly as old as that, and I believe it is important to correct this misinformation as part of clarifying the broader context of these allegations.

Now, I want to be transparent about the situation with Callum and clarify the events as I understand them:

At the time of our direct messages, I was not aware of Callum’s age. He and others have stated that his age was listed in his profile bio, but I did not read his bio before our messages. I understand that failing to verify this information was a serious oversight on my part. I now recognise that I should have either reviewed his profile more carefully or directly confirmed his age before engaging in these direct messages.

Once I became aware of Callum’s age, I reached out to him to apologise and to discuss the matter. We mutually agreed to delete our conversation due to its sensitive nature. At that time, it was my understanding that the issue had been resolved, and we had moved on amicably. In fact, Callum and I continued to interact positively and seemed to be friends in the months that followed.

Update Regarding the Above Paragraph

Following Callum’s recent statement regarding this section, I have issued an update addressing his claims in a new post. You can read the update here.

However, Callum recently resurfaced the issue, using Blazey as a tool to announce these accusations publicly. Following this, Callum repeated the claims on both his public and private accounts, framing the situation in a manner that suggested malicious intent on my part. I want to emphasise that I deeply regret my failure to confirm Callum’s age, but I deny any intent to cause harm or to act inappropriately toward him or anyone else.

Reflection and Accountability

I recognise the seriousness of these matters and the impact they may have had on the people involved. Since learning of my oversight with Callum, I have implemented stricter measures to prevent similar situations in the future. Specifically, I now take extra care to confirm the age of individuals I interact with in direct messages, either by reviewing their profiles or directly confirming their age.

Additionally, I have implemented a strict ID age verification system within my Discord server to ensure that minors cannot access sensitive areas, including the NSFW section. These steps are part of my commitment to fostering a safer and more accountable environment for people under my care.

I also want to acknowledge the impact my emotional responses may have had on others. During this stressful period, I made decisions that were not reflective of my usual conduct, including overreacting and taking actions that were not appropriate towards close friends. For this, I apologise to those who were affected. I deeply regret the way I handled these situations, and I am working to improve how I respond to challenges moving forward.

As part of this process, I have decided to lower my activity on Twitter for the time being. Additionally, I have begun seeking therapy again to help me process these events, reinforce my coping mechanisms, and ensure that I can approach future situations with greater clarity and composure.

Commitment to a Safer Community

I want to acknowledge that these events have likely caused discomfort or concern within the broader ET community. Harassment, doxxing, SWAT threats, and similar behaviours have no place in our community, and I strongly oppose such actions. I am committed to fostering a more respectful, understanding, and safe community for everyone.

Unblocking and Reconciliation Period

To demonstrate my commitment to making amends, I will unblock the individuals I wronged on all platforms for a 14-day period, starting on the date that this release is published. During this time, I invite anyone who wishes to reach out and engage in constructive conversations to do so. However, I must also stress that this should not be taken as an opportunity to harass or attack me, as I will simply re-block anyone who does so without further response. After this 14-day period, which will end on 10 February 2025, I will re-block individuals who do not choose to reach out, in order to maintain healthy boundaries moving forward.

Closing Statement

I want to reiterate my deepest apologies to anyone who may have been negatively affected by these events, whether directly or indirectly. I acknowledge the mistakes I have made and have taken steps to ensure that similar situations do not happen in the future.

I am committed to learning and growing from these experiences, both personally and as a member of the community. Rebuilding trust takes time, and I am dedicated to earning it through consistent, thoughtful actions. I will continue to prioritise the safety and well-being of those I interact with, and I hope to contribute positively to the spaces I am part of.

If you have further questions, concerns, or would like to discuss the events described here, I am open to engaging in respectful and honest dialogue. I will be the most accessible on Discord, but my other social media accounts are also an option. Those accounts can be found on the main page of this site. Thank you for taking the time to hear my perspective.
