The amount of people falling for his apology is actually ridiculous. His apology isn’t even an apology, ignoring the fact it’s lies, half of what he says is ‘I didn’t do this, I actually did this’ rather than apologising for what he did wrong. This would be fine.. except he did do something wrong and he admits that very briefly.
The problem is (though I am not blaming these fans for this, Alex is completely at fault for all this) that a lot of his fans are pretty impressionable kids and teens who don't quite understand how serious the situation is. It happened with Colleen as well - her young fans are defending her. All we can hope is that the fans grow up, realise it's wrong and decide to leave the yansim fandom.
@@amberr3662 This is what I hate abt his apology as well. Everyone knows that you need to make it explicit who this apology is for and not to defend or forgive him, considering he should be taking fault for his actions. He knows by making his apology his younger audience would forgive him.
The problem is that there have been so much YanDev drama that when this story blew up it did not go (as) viral. What actually started being pushed by the algorithm was his apology, which means that a lot of people actually found out about the drama through the apology and saw the curated statement the victim posted, which doesn't just "confirms" what he says in the video, but straight up makes it seems like he was being light on the events. So for a lot of people, the story is basically: Yandev was talking with a fan, the fan was coerced by dramatubers to record him, take screenshots, and push for certain topics to make him dig his own grave, then turned all of that to the dramatubers. This is story is false, but it's compelling. YanDev makes sure to keep only the positive and neutral comments on the video, and if you don't have the dislike button extensions you can't even see people disliking the video.
Fun fact: yanderedev deletes most of the hate comments on the debunk video and keeps the ones that are supporting him so the video seems more acceptable or forgiving
I've seen a disgusting number of kids on tiktok saying that the apology video was really good, how he was "so honest with his emotions" and how they'd be willing to forgive him if he just puts out the full game. The way this man groomed his fanbase into blindly trusting him needs to be studied.
“If he puts out the game” Besides the fact that kids are dumb and this is EXACTLY why Yan dev is dangerous and was able to victimize kids, it’s pretty obvious all they care about is the game. I know it’s terrible to say, but I WISH some kids could suffer more to understand how other ppl have it. Some ppl are so sheltered. If only trauma could be “distributed” more equally rather than piled on a single individual. Haha. If only.
i think this shows how easily manipulated many of us are, and i know for a fact that no one genuinely went to read the whole drama, with both sides (including me) it shows that not only are our attention spans to blame but also the fact we don't care a lot about it. even though i have been following the whole yandere dev situation with a few videos throughout the years, i feel like this is when you realize how little kids are taught about not only research, but manipulation. there are many that never research including me, either because they never really understand the core concept, or they simply just really dont like reading, something that for me is out of the way. dramas are comfort zones for many, and not their business, so when they get out of their comfort zones for these dramas they don't care about, they will probably either be biased for one side due to not looking at the other side enough, or nope out quickly. i am literally just like all of these other people, and to be honest these dramas are 100% not my business, but its just interesting how many people comment on these videos after watching 1 video on a very deep and complex situation and think they figured it out, just because a youtuber said the "facts". and this is something that happened, with noodle, which blatantly lied to his viewers about triple a games and just has the complete wrong conclusion, and how he splices his video to get his point across, the manipulative wording, and just overall seeming just lifeless now. but as you expect i never even watched the original video lol. essentially what im saying is that all the sh im saying could possibly be false and that's ok, its my fault and its alright, we all make mistakes and for here i am shamelessly gonna say i didnt really need to watch the original video after watching the hour long video that analyzes the whole video. theres also the lack of truth and fact checking nowadays, and even though ground news seems cool, its really just about news, and overall from what ive seen there is almost zero truth checker, probably because of how complex these dramas are, they never ever stop with this, and of course when it comes to the kids they dont know that they gotta check every little thing for sources or they gotta listen to intentional manipulation by wording they just eat it up, and the video on noodle has taught me that kids will believe any youtuber if they have enough editing and nice enough words to sugarcoat the whole thing, exactly like american propaganda back in the 50s when sugarcoating was high tide along with other propaganda. its nice artwork but the sound design, the whole comfortable feeling, literally just propaganda and this is something myself came to a conclusion about, it just felt too obvious like propaganda. but nowadays when we dont have any time to look back on recent events due to it still unfolding, it really seems like its overwhelming and sometimes you believe the wrong people just because they speak fancy shmancy words. this happens to people like noodle or sunnyv2 or of course, yandere dev. there is a unlimited possibility of youtubers that really could be manipulating you into supporting their agendas and you never know, because you usually only watch the video once, and move on with your life. and i think this comes back to how we really dont care about these videos and strictly watch it for enjoyment, and how we believe in the official sounding people instead of just analyzing the situation by paying attention instead of using it as a whole comedy skit that lasts a hour and is scary. i dont know what to say for the conclusion but like... watch out for any of these slimy grimy youtubers and always know that no matter what they will try to make you subscribe to their agenda, either by the fact they didnt do something or they are hungry money thieves, i hope you somehow avoid them, and i hope your staying safe out these streets.
It's an unfortunate situation, but this is why it's important to talk to your child about stuff like this, keeping it age appropriate if they are still very young, as well as talking about internet safety
That ukulele apology has absolutely ruined it for every single apology vid going forward. The sheer number of kids I see online defending yandev who literally say "well he didn't pull out a ukulele" like. THAT is our bar now. For fucks sake.
I hate it when they say that. It doesn’t matter if he pulled a rabbit straight out of his ASS as a part of his apology video, what matters is HE GROOMED KIDS. How he apologized for it shouldn’t matter over the fact that he’s trying to defend himself and say “well the grooming wasn’t THAT bad!”.
Even if she was the one to start doing “dirty jokes” and asking inappropriate questions he should be the one to have sense to step back and don’t engage with those type of conversations with a minor
EXACTLY!! i saw so many comments on his og video that were just victim blaming jelly, saying stuff like "she shouldn't have been talking about that stuff in the first place" or "she should've known better". crazy shit
FR... like at the end of the day no matter what she did, or what she said HE is the adult HE should have put end to that commutation they had going on the moment he found out her age
this this THIS. I've been in fandom spaces with minors at cons and stuff as an adult, and when the kids start getting too rowdy and the talk starts getting a little too crass it's the responsibility of YOU the ADULT to either shut that shit down, or straight up leave the situation. kids don't quite understand yet what's appropriate and not appropriate, but you, the adult, DO know.
The amount of people I’ve seen defending him because “he was depressed, he was in a bad place, he has no friends, he hasn’t left his house in forever, etc” is actually INSANE. Even at my lowest point I’ve never even considered communicating with a minor the way he did
what kills me about the house thing is i'm a house bound invalid and I leave the house 3 or 4 times a month bare min. I can't imagine going full agoraphobia.
"I know she is far from the perfect victim" agreed but let's also start actively acknowledging that there is no such thing as a 'perfect victim' and the idea is simply a means to deny ANY victim any kind of justice and using their reaction to abuse as a means of denying them belief and aid. Trauma doesn't always make you a meek and quiet helpless person. Sometimes you end up helping your abuser cuz that's the only thing that you believe keeps you safe, sometimes you end up like me and become a deeply angry and distrustful person. The more we attack people for not being perfect victims the more they will retreat often into the arms of their abusers.
I heared someone say "the only perfect victim is a dead victim" and that really says a lot about it society. The victim is never "victim enough" unless they are dead and can no longer react to the trauma that the endured
Yandev reminds me of that one kid who will make excuses for his actions instead of taking responsibility for his actons This man is 35, he knows EXACTLY what he's doing
@@nman551 he might, he might not, we don't know, but having a disability doesn't make you a groomer I'm not sure if you're implying a learning disability specifically or not, but I am pretty sure that you are more likely to be the victim of grooming than be a groomer if you do happen to have a learning disability cuz difficulty with social cues = people may be more likely to take advantage of you Again, sorry if I'm misinterpreting your comment
I was disgusted by the amount of comments believing and supporting him- it was so horrible and disgusting that I wrote a long comment calling him out, even recommended checking some of your videos for context, but nobody saw it or at least they’ve ignored it so idk. Jelly deserved so much better and the amount of people who actually believed in Alex is atrocious. I hope Jelly recovers from this and stays away from Alex and Cameron for good, she doesn’t deserve all of this crap
Guess he went to the older women because he didn't have the power to be sexual with a child but when he found the opportunity to talk and get close with a child he took it
Yandere Dev is so disgusting. He pushed blame onto a minor as a grown adult and ppl had the nerve to say the apology was “good.” We normalize forgiving things that have nothing to do with us way too much. Children were hurt. Yandere Dev doesn’t care about the ppl he hurt. He’s not sorry. He just wants support for his unfinished game for another 8 years.
For an apology video, yandere dev’s is more like a denial video pretending to be apologetic when he’s only doing it to save face. I know their type, or similar.
I hate when creeps say that teenagers who engage in sexual conversations are "more mature" or have "adult senses of humor." no they don't. having an especially raunchy and shocking humor style is extremely childish. most adults don't talk like that.
The amount of people who "forgave him" is insane 💀. I've said it many times to my friends and I'll say it publicly, too. It's not the fans' place to forgive him. It's not our place to forgive this man. Nor is this situation something that can be fixed with a simple apology. The best course of action this man can do now is get the heck off the internet, turn himself in to the police, and never return again.
Exactly! He needs to be deplatformed, his patreon shut down (any money he made taken away) and charged! Alex, please leave and never return. Not to mention if this was in fact a genuine "apology," the only people that have the right to even accept are the victims!
If I was gonna make an apology video, I would force myself to go through the evidence 100 times until i'm certain that what i'm saying is true. and also do not bring down people who thought that joining a gang was a good idea and then the people realize that the gang was nasty then people say "OH these people joined a NASTY GANG they should commit die" NO, NO NO NOOO NOOOOO It's too late NO NO NO NO NO NOO NO NOOO NOOOOO NOOOO NOOOO, NOOOOOOO. I can't blame people who thought that joining a gang was a good idea and call them a dingus. well they did fell in a trap after all. and they got called atrocious for being a victim. if they were being manipulated they lost it and someone decided to take the class one on the plane and call them an Idiot... I can't blame you if some guy stole your purse with manipualtion. I think this yandere dev make another video and only THIS TIME he's ACTUALLY telling the truth. I don't know
@@icravedeath.1200 Sadly, yeah, that's true. Apparently the authorities don't consider grooming an actual crime related to pedophilia and don't do jack about it. I dunno, maybe there's a chance they might do something about it, even tho that chance might be hella slim or even nonexistent.
@@Seer0cervus Hold On, does the US not have a law against grooming and curruption of minors? In my country he could go 3 or 4 years to jail for it and people are complaining that it should have a higher one closer to 10 years
YES FINALLY I was so disgusted by comments supporting him. They were saying like "this is actually a great apology. No screaming, no crying." LIKE WHEN DID HE EVER SHOW EMOTION And everything he said is such a fat shameless lie. I can't believe he had the nerve to upload that.
YES!! I completely agree. I haven't gone far in this video yet, so I'm not sure when he took down or privated the video, but but the amount of people that supported and accept it is... Not surprising but just honestly upsetting. I remember when I watched the video. It was roughly 15 minutes since it was uploaded, but I swear I could not find one comment that wasn't accepting his "apology." Only complaints about no update on the game or praises. Absolutely disgusting...
@@user-fo5mh6ig5x are you for real? He showed 0 proof and all the proof is against him. He didn't take accountability for anything. Just blamed it all on others.
how did ANYONE believe him?? he made a game about a high school girl so in love with his self-insert “senpai” character that she kills other girls. not to mention the features like taking up-skirt photos of said teenaged girls.. no normal person would make a game like that
ONG and he even admitted that the over 18 post academy thing was all bs, because if they were really over 18 (which doesn’t matter anyway cuz it’s still weird) he would’ve put them in a college/university
Unfortunately, those that believe him are either kids who don't know any better or adults who do know but support him regardless of the shit he's done/said.
he also did a lot of other horrible things even before he was exposed as a groomer, much like: telling someone (a fan iirc) to kill themselves live on stream, threatened a developer of a fangame (Watashi No Mono), and more.
Can’t wait for his apologists to have a cope-fest defending him or call you out for “milking the drama” in order for his other bootlickers to kiss their arses. (Yes, there ARE in fact people who ACTUALLY fall for his apology or outright dismiss the evidence).
The most common reason that people keep trying to support Alex is that they don't want the game to die. While I'm also sad to see the game itself die, we need to remember that yandere simulator as an idea doesn't go away. Tons of talented individual have made "fan" works with these characters, imagined their own stories for them, some have even tried making games! We don't need Alex or his game for these characters and ideas to continue to live, we only need our own creativity.
One of them is me, the author of Kuroko's Knife series. The only difference is that I haven't given up, I haven't backed down, and I am brave and fearless to fight Alex Mahan. If you really want Yandere Simulator to end and you want to see a better production in better hands, it would be better to support me. Because I am holding the fight for revenge against Alex Mahan high, and I have the courage and hope to take Alex down. I haven't forgotten what Alex did to me and others. A friend of mine was on the verge of s**cide because of him and a moderator shamelessly told him that it might be a good thing that he could do that. I managed to save him from that brink but what about those who suffered more at his hands? Alex Mahan must be punished and I must say this: God does not forgive those who trespass against people, those who persecute them and those who are heretics. As long as people do not forgive, God will continue to send his wrath.
how is he a loser when he created a games in which millions of people are enjoying lmao.What did you do in your life to even call him a loser lmao.pipe down
Jenna Marbles had a relatively decent one, but yeah, RUclipsr apologies are usually pretty forced Most of the time, they're only sorry that they got caught
@@AquazoLuvzPizzayeah like Twitter is not the arbiter of morality they throw harassment at anyone if you say one thing they don’t like. It’s a festering hate mob.
As a past grooming victim (I was groomed by my own stepfather into stuff that's honestly terrifying to consider, looking back), the comment about being in the eye of the storm hit home for me. When learning about the forms of abuse in school, I remember feeling that the lesson on s*xual abuse hit home for some reason. I kept denying it, thinking "No, he didn't touch me where I didn't want him to, no of course this isn't me!" Nothing anyone else said could dissuade me. My mom's comments and arguments about us being way too close were just things I glossed over. Then, it hit. When I read an article online and I just knew. He was grooming me s*xually from the age of 12. And the rose-tinted glasses shattered. Jelly, hopefully you come to your senses like I did. I don't know what entirely transpired between you and Alex. But you don't have to be the reason this failing game gets support. Having the glass shatter is terrifying, especially when it's someone you look up to. Just be strong, you have family at home who can hopefully help you through this.
@HappyHyperHuggieNini I hope you're okay... I don't understand why there so many groomers? like man are you stupid enough to groom a child ?! behave you're self normally at least....
Yeah I was groomed and sexually exploited as a child by my uncle. It's terrifying how common this is. I hope you are both doing well these days and are in a safe place.
@@maxthewolf001 you mean the yandev??????????????? I'm not going to waste my time hating him everywhere but will not give him second chance you need to understand darling that some people will like to just don't support him I mean it's better than hating him everywhere okay?
FINALLY someone wasn't just taking him at his word the whole time and actually spread the truth for once many RUclipsrs aren't very informed about the drama or don't care at all always take him at his word which sucks when he is a terrible person like yanderedev
What enraged me was the amount of people who immediately were like “He seems sincere, took accountability, atleast there’s no ukulele. I forgive him.” Like 1st of all THAT IS A GROOMER???? HE STILL DID IT!! And 2nd, it’s so clear the amount of them were just people who liked the game with no real grasp on what actually happened 3rd I know he was directing his apology at everyone but what right did they have to forgive him? Like were they the victim? Keeping up with any of it? Or were they just desperate for this shitty game dev to not be problematic
The ones that get me are the "Ive never heard of him, but he seems sincere." Oh yeah? Yeah you have never heard of him or this drama and this somehow fell into your TikTok/RUclips algorithm feed? Stfu. Tons of people are saying this on Tiktok.
When he talked about defining "real" grooming to "respect" people who are actually groomed, I wanted to throw up. I'm a victim of grooming. What he did was grooming. There's no excuse and no getting out of it for him. I made a comment myself about how I was groomed and I went back to the video and saw my comment was gone. Not surprising at all.
I mean what to expect from a guy who thinks there should be an s-3-x license for minors. Whenever he "apologized" he is just shifting the blame, declare himself a victim of the whole world (his parents, being homeschooled, or seemingly "mother nature" for giving underaged girls breasts) and most importantly: He shoes no remorse at all and don't give the slightest bit about his victims. This guy belongs in jail, especially since it's clear that he won't stop, despite him seemingly having legal options with his two adult sugar mommies that orbit around him.
Yeah, the debunk video is terrible. The man LITERALLY SAID "You don't have to take my word for it. The girl posted a statement. " A statement that HE COACHED THE VICTIM TO WRITE!!!
and you are blind, if you were at least watching his video at least twice, you would understand that he is sorry, but all of you are just cyber-bullying him
@@maxthewolf001 Nope, he’s not sorry, he’s sorry that *he got caught*. It’s the same garbage that he’s been throwing around: he’s not the blame, it’s was a mistake, blah blah blah. He’s a disgusting person that needs to be off the internet.
The fact that he tries to defend himself by coercing his victim into stating that they were the one that started inappropriately messaging him first is so funny, because even IF that were true he would still be the one at fault as a grown-ass man. You don't just get say well this minor wanted to send me nudes there's nothing I could do, You as the adult have the responsibility to shut that shit down immediately and ideally try to get into contact with a parent or guardian because that's extremely concerning behavior for the minor.
There's actually a RUclips group known as Trilogy Media, and their channel is dedicated to putting people like YanDev behind bars for good. I pray for the day where I can be able to take action when I gain the courage to do just that.
Not even 3 minutes in and I know this will be good. Jelly if you see this I still stand with you. A 12-15 minute long video does not cover everything that has happened so far. Thank you Calli for speaking on this as always. Can’t wait for the next WildWard video ❤
@@maxthewolf001 if you had a brain a size of a regular brain and take off your rose tinted glasses you can see the holes and contradictions of the apology it's MEANT to gaslight people into forgiving him it's MEANT to not be an actual apology
@@maxthewolf001 “If she didn’t call out an actual groomer and made sure everyone knows how disgusting he is so no one else gets hurt by him, this drama would end already” That’s what you said. I’m disgusted that you think something like this is okay to say
I'm really glad you brought attention to the fact that Cameron was 16 when he began working for Yandere Dev. For a man who got so angry about minors "wasting his time" asking to be volunteers, it's certainly interesting that he was actively hiring children to work for his game... Even if Cameron told him he was 17 (which I'm sure he did, because he has always kept up the lie that he's a year older than he actually is), that still would've made him a minor. Either way, Alex knowingly hired a minor for his project after throwing a tantrum about children emailing him asking to work on the game. He's a hypocrite and a creep who deserves to be behind bars.
I recently posted a theorypost on r/Osana that it was all a lie, all of it, that everything he said was a lie and that his intent from the start until now, his reason for creating and dragging along Yandere Simulator, was to lure in and trap children so he could groom them for his every use and suck their parents' wallets dry of the hard-earned money of people who actually work for a living to raise families.
everyone in this comment section keeps talking about how in his apology comments everyone was so forgiving, i find it hard to imagine **that** many ppl were fooled by him, he was definently deleting comments.
Game which you can take under skirt photos of innocent girls and Alex literally showing like so called "Protagonist is innocent, entire school is villain who want block her goal" and some childs believe this.
The first red flag i clocked was the fact the apology video was titled " adressing the *allegation* " Singular. Pretty sure there is a _plurality_ of allegations towards Alex
Something I don't hear anyone else talking about is that *HE* *ASKED* *HER* *FOR* *NSFW* *PHOTOS* *WHILE* *KNOWING* *SHE* *WAS* *UNDER* *AGED* He's actually very lucky that this blew up when it did because if she had sent those photos Alex would be in prison for CP.
I love how people are joking that alex snatched the first apology video of the year despite it being a compilation of excuses instead of saying sorry even once
@@maxthewolf001 He literally basically said “I’m sorry you felt upset by my actions” and “I’m sorry that I felt bad enough to do this” He never apologized for his actions. He just apologized to sound better
The biggest mastermind move he made was to fully ignore the snapchat messages as if those don't exist. Because he only addressed the VC and had the curated statement by the victim (and by controlling the comments in the channel) he managed to push the narrative he wanted. Even worse, most people finding out about this did so through his own video, so they get this version of him that apparently checks out and don't go looking for context. When you see his video first thing, there is enough plausible deniability to believe it, specially after the victim's statement, it's only after you find out the snapschat screenshots that it becomes clear what he is doing.
I’m so relieved to know what I can do something vile, and if I say “I’m sorry” and not pull out a ukelele, everyone will forgive me. Like Trisha paytas.
OMG YES. I still don't understand how people forgave trisha paytas after ALL the things she's done. She gets cancelled > she gets stanned > cancelled again > stanned again... but she is a master manipulator after all
YandereDarvo, Alex, is the epitome of how codependence will ruin your own life, especially on a failed project. This codependency he’s had (and still has) to keep his game afloat has now spilled into the mind of the minor he groomed, where now this young fan who's only 16 will do and say anything possible to keep the game going, even if it is false and sacrifices her own mental health and reputation. Both now heavily rely on the project because they believe it’s the one saving grace in their lives to keep them functioning, to the point they will do anything to cling onto it, which is the most depressing aspect to take away from this whole thing. Understandably, he doesn't want to accept that he fundamentally wasted ten years of his life, but it's blatant that the existence of this game is not helping anyone anymore, and is now doing more harm than good. I hope the child properly gets away from everything, and actual justice gets served to Alex before he inevitably does something to this level to another child again.
I'm working out the kinks to my fanfic while listening to this, and the part where he said he wants to apologise for what HE thinks he should made my eyes roll so hard I saw my brain.
Hey, if you have a character in your fanfic that's self-absorbed, destructive, and refuses to take accountability, you're getting some good inspiration.
Even if it was true that the 16-year-old was initiating the sexual conversations, which it's not. Why would he initiate with it unless he was a pedophile? The sheer fact that he continued with these conversations proves that he's a creep
“This fan told me right away that she was 16, but I didn’t care” And that’s the problem, Alex. Not only was she your fan, she is/was 16. There is absolutely no reason that you as a 35 year old should be talking to a 16 year old, aside from a brief “thank you for supporting the game” You had the power to shut the conversation down when “things got too spicy” and you started to “feel uncomfortable “. Also, putting aside the predatory shit for a minute, other than the game what would you even talk about with a 16 year old? There is a huge age gap there, your interests are vastly different. ALSO Also, Jelly was high while talking to him??? Hoo boy, that just makes him even more of a creep. And I’m (not) sorry, but the moment an alleged predator starts defining what grooming is, I immediately do not wanna hear it. Abusers will often use this tactic to move the goal post so they could say “what I didn’t wasn’t abuse because I didn’t -insert what they think abuse is-“ It’s kinda like an emotional abuser saying they’re not an abuser because “I never even hit you, you are not abused”
As a grooming victim myself who has been abused all her life by my said groomer for a whole year, yanderedev is full of shit, his apology isn't sincere. He tried to make himself look like the victim, which is disgusting. He is not a victim, he's a fully grown adult who manipulated a child, he's a deplorable person and he doesn't deserve to have a platform. Anyone who tried to "accept" his apology aren't even victims themselfes, nor have any past of being groomed, so i don't get WHY they think that they have the right to accept an "apology" that wasn't theirs to begin with.
What I hate about RUclipsr Apologies is that it's only the Victim's right to forgive the apology. NOT the viewers! I hate how people still don't get that
Him saying "but idk how to shut down a minor who send me inappropriate stuff 🥺" disgust me. I, a 20 years old, met a friend online which I thought was an adult. Later on, in my Instagram art support group they started saying very inappropriate stuff (there are other minors in there 14+) . I told them to stop, they didn't. Then I told them that we could talk in private about this or make an NSFW group for 18+ people but NOT here. This person stated they were 15. I immediately told them how wrong it was for them to have lied to me about their age and that it was dangerous for them to say that stuff online. Then I kicked them out of the group and restrained their account. All of this in a few hours. I knew this person for months and developped a friendship with them, I threw everything away once this happened. Because guess what? Even if it hurts, it was the right thing to do, to protect the other minors and yes that underage person too.
I feel like a lot of minors who interact with NSFW content think that if THEY are okay with that sort of content, then it's okay for them to interact with it and share it, which is so not true. Especially considering the negative effects it has on both their mental health and overall safety, both online and irl
it's so crazy to me how he literally WAITED?? until january 1 2024 to post that video so he can say the allegations were "last year" to make the incident more dismissive
Alex is disgusting he took a young girl who was and still is the ACTUAL VICTIM and manipulated her and convinced tried to to convince everyone that Ali and jelly were the ones at fault. I genuinely hope that jelly gets better and I hope she knows that she's not at fault she's just a girl it was Alex's fault not hers.
It's crazy I know. He did lose over half or I guess I should say 3/4 of his supporters. But still, it baffles me as to why there are STILL people giving him money when even the voice actors and all the volunteers left and even spoke up.
FUN FACT: 8 years ago, when I was still a teen, I made some fanart for Yanderedev, sent it to his email, but received no answer. Back then, I assumed he was "too busy" or that my email got lost with the others he received. Of course, in the following years, I heard of all of the controversies and what he did, left the "fandom" and I was actually really glad he didn't respond. Now, one week ago, I check my emails, and if I had coffee I would've SPIT IT all over my walls because GUESS WHO DECIDED TO REPLY TO MY 8 YEARS OLD FANART MAIL? More like: GUESS WHO'S TRYING TO IMPROVE HIS IMAGE?
The fact that he didn't adress almost ANYTHING and still has people falling for his words is absolutely ridiculous to me, to say the least. Ridiculous and horryfying at the same time. It seems to me that he only mentioned those of his doings that might not seem inappropriate in people's eyes just to be like "oh I know I crossed the boundaries a little uh-oh silly me, but I won't do that any longer so let's just move on as if nothing ever happened hehe". I've watched his whole video while it was still up, and was waiting for him to at least admit to asking the girl for those videos, let alone explain what the actual f was going on. It wouldn't justify any of his actions, but still. He did not adress anything. And I personally believe that people can change if a certain amount of work on themselves is done. But not in his case. Instead of him knowing and openly admitting to having this problem of having an inappropriate interest in minors, he sees nothing wrong with it or does something about it and just keeps doing what he was doing. And who knows how many girls like Jane are there out there, who are just afraid to speak up. This is absolutely horryfying and disgusing and I have no idea how he managed to get away with doing this for so long
and watching his video after the one you uploaded, where there is legit proof of him guiding the writing of the victim's statement was an enraging experience. I'm very grateful for your hard work though. People should know more about what kind of person he is and be very cautious around him, or the ones with similar behavour patterns.
Yeah considering funisinfinite's video about him talking about under aged characters in a rather disgusting game he played, its quite obvious that he actually does believe the license thing. The fact the debate even happened shows he disagrees with the current age of consent.
I have been trying to avoid this whole conflict because yandere simulator was my childhood. but after seeing so many videos and sources showing the true intentions of yandere dev, i had to figure out what really was going on. i will admit, this was painful to hear. i admired this man and now i have the complete opposite feelings of him. the fact this exact video has so much concreate evidence convinces me yandere dev was a groomer. and i don't feel like yandere dev should be forgiven. which i do not like to type down but its the simple truth. thank you for the informative video, people need to watch this to really understand the whole situation. :)
@wajmgirl i see your point, he wasn't a very admirable man. but before i saw all this i simply had a different mindset of him. i thought of him like another person like you or me, but he was not what I expected. anyways though, thanks for commenting on my comment! take care! (:
THANK YOU for your in-depth analysis of his statement (really can't call it an apology lol). A lot of RUclipsrs talking about this know that it's bad, but just don't have the understanding of the whole situation and maybe can't recognize all the patterns of manipulation in his language. So I'm really grateful for this video and all the other ones you've done on this situation!
Every time he opened his mouth I rolled my eyes harder than I ever did. He should be the poster child(since he acts like a child)for groomers. Jelly needs to be taken out of social media by the people who take care of her, because she keeps interacting with him and being manipulated by him. She needs to distance herself and learn how to not fall back for his antics
Watched the whole thing and now have a MUCH better standing. Sad it had to be this way, but you can no longer separate the 'art' from the 'artist' any longer. The manipulation was pretty sickening.
The amount of forgiveness in the original video comment section that’s present EVEN THOUGH ITS NOT THEIR APOLOGY TO ACCEPT was wild. We all know his fan base that sticks around are mostly kids and young teens who truly don’t know better and he really knows that still and it’s disgusting. I think the worst I saw was someone who donated $10 in their comment actually baffled me.
What really bothers me is that these groomers time and time again make the same excuse that the minor made sexual advances to them first and that they felt pressured to pretend they were okay with it. What's even more sickening is some gullible people buy into this common bs excuse. It doesn't matter that the minor was into the adult, their actions can't consent because their age doesn't consent. It is very important that when an adult is friends with a child that there are strict boundaries in place. As the adult it's your responsibility that if the kid gets out of line that you tell them to stop and block contact with them. If you do nothing to stop them and just engage back inappropriately it automatically comes off that you are preying on the child. No matter what your intentions and feeling were in the moment, there's no evidence backing up that you weren't okay with it when you only went along with it and did nothing to prove that you weren't okay with it. The only evidence shown to us in yandere dev's case is that he stayed in contact with this 16 yr old girl, responded fondly to her inappropriate remarks, and engaged in sexually inappropriate conversations with her. Nothing about his actions back then shows he was pressured and uncomfortable with where the relationship was going. Therefore we can't prove his statements to be truth and we can only prove he's guilty by the evidence provided. You aren't going to get off of any criminal charges with evidence so damning by saying "Yes I did this crime but I didn't want to do it."🤦♀
Once again, another example of the culprit in question using mental health as an excuse for their horrible actions. Who could've seen this one coming? 🙄 Like no seriously, is it so hard to say: "It's my fault and I'm sorry" instead of putting the blame on someone else? Is it so hard to take accountability and not instead do a poor attempt at garnering sympathy? Good lord... 😒
Right!? It must be of whatever pride he has left because it really shouldn't be that hard to simply say, "You know guys, I messed up it's my faults." Or even a genuine, "I'm sorry." It also sickens me that he has the audacity to blame it on mental health (although not surprising given that it's alex). When even if it was the case, I don't recall ever hearing or reading the having mental health causes you to talk with miners?! It's already so difficult for people with actual mental health problems to come forward because of these people who just use it as an excuse to literally anything. They see it as a *get out of jail free* card when all they had to do was say, "Sorry."
@@LadyMauraM Exactly, like don't give any excuses just say "I'm sorry" and move on. There's no need for exaggerations and yet many apologies are full of it nowadays. (not all of them but most of them)
@@obinnamommoh185 "don't give any excuses just say "I'm sorry" and move on" The problem is that what he did doesn't warrant an apology... it warrants a prison sentence.
When Yandere Dev said "now that I've apologized" (paraphrased) and went into some long statement about how he's improving his life, I found them both funny and annoying. The man dodges accountability, then acts as if all is resolved and he can just move on. He just skips the punishment (which should include prison time...) and talks about his life as if he went on some self-improvement journey and turned his life around, when we all know he's probably embellishing at best. The man straight up committed crimes, and he talks like his mental well-being is the one most important. Instead of, you know, that of the child's.
I've been waiting for this! Thank you so much for addressing this situation. Nobody else has spoken about it with all of the necessary information and facts.
Btw Harleytbs has had a bad history with other art commentary RUclipsrs (I used to watch his vids before I found out about his behavior), so hearing him mentioned here was a bit surprising tbh.
Ngl I was already searching for these kinds of videos after his video cause I watched it and he came off so believable but I knew something was up. I later found out how shitty and manipulative his response was.. the part that threw me off the most is when a channel pointed out the girl’s (victim’s) statement that yandere dev kept referring too. Like yk the one he might’ve edited for his one benefit (cause who tf says *VERY NORMAL* in a situation like this)
He hates OF workers but as someone who does OF I’ve made more money and progress in my career then his unfinished underdeveloped game. Also man needs to be locked up and kept away from kids. You exposed his A$$ this is why your the real queen up in here 🙏👏🏼💯
Some people respond to stuff like that with anger and anxiety and insecurity due to being exposed to it as a minor. I don't think that's the case here though. Also don't pretend that the police will do anything.
It's so funny to me, especially because you just KNOW this guy watches porn, but he's still bashing people who make said erotic content and profit from people like him watching it lol (Ik OF isn't only for straight up porn, but that's usually what people bashing it think)
On someordinarygamers video on the topic, someone was trying to argue with me in the comments and made wild claims, and when I asked for source, it was " just trust me bro " 🤦♀️ And all the claims was obviously trying to discredit her credibility, trying to shame her for being manipulated and acting under manipulation and pretty much make her look evil to make people forget what Alex was proven to say and do... Edit: remembered that the commenter also pretty much tried to doxx her real name? If it wasn't a made up name? That made me so confused and then uncomfortable 😐
I think it's good that the channel is a way to enter the pond, like, it comparmentalizes your community from your yt channel, maybe that'd make it a lake, maybe change it when your channel hits, like, the 250k, but that's just an idea, the pond just has a softer vibe.
It creeps me out , like I don't know if it's normal or not for people to sound like that , but I know many horrible people that sounds like robots, their words always lack emotions even a hint of emotion is none existent, that's how he sounds to me
@@skoshxx i never said he did, but we don't know, generally speaking judging something like that IS ableist because it's 'not normal' it can stem from disability + it is unwanted. Therefore it's ableist.
The amount of people falling for his apology is actually ridiculous. His apology isn’t even an apology, ignoring the fact it’s lies, half of what he says is ‘I didn’t do this, I actually did this’ rather than apologising for what he did wrong. This would be fine.. except he did do something wrong and he admits that very briefly.
The problem is (though I am not blaming these fans for this, Alex is completely at fault for all this) that a lot of his fans are pretty impressionable kids and teens who don't quite understand how serious the situation is. It happened with Colleen as well - her young fans are defending her. All we can hope is that the fans grow up, realise it's wrong and decide to leave the yansim fandom.
@@amberr3662 This is what I hate abt his apology as well. Everyone knows that you need to make it explicit who this apology is for and not to defend or forgive him, considering he should be taking fault for his actions. He knows by making his apology his younger audience would forgive him.
The problem is that there have been so much YanDev drama that when this story blew up it did not go (as) viral. What actually started being pushed by the algorithm was his apology, which means that a lot of people actually found out about the drama through the apology and saw the curated statement the victim posted, which doesn't just "confirms" what he says in the video, but straight up makes it seems like he was being light on the events. So for a lot of people, the story is basically: Yandev was talking with a fan, the fan was coerced by dramatubers to record him, take screenshots, and push for certain topics to make him dig his own grave, then turned all of that to the dramatubers. This is story is false, but it's compelling. YanDev makes sure to keep only the positive and neutral comments on the video, and if you don't have the dislike button extensions you can't even see people disliking the video.
Istg, they only say this just so they could get the game! The game isn't even worth it??
@@hamthesilly no matter what the end product is like, it took him eight years. It is always going to be shite💀
Fun fact: yanderedev deletes most of the hate comments on the debunk video and keeps the ones that are supporting him so the video seems more acceptable or forgiving

I've seen a disgusting number of kids on tiktok saying that the apology video was really good, how he was "so honest with his emotions" and how they'd be willing to forgive him if he just puts out the full game. The way this man groomed his fanbase into blindly trusting him needs to be studied.
My same thought as well, bro.
“If he puts out the game”
Besides the fact that kids are dumb and this is EXACTLY why Yan dev is dangerous and was able to victimize kids, it’s pretty obvious all they care about is the game.
I know it’s terrible to say, but I WISH some kids could suffer more to understand how other ppl have it. Some ppl are so sheltered. If only trauma could be “distributed” more equally rather than piled on a single individual. Haha. If only.
They’re likely his pool of victims. Like he grooms kids to defend him before anything else.
i think this shows how easily manipulated many of us are, and i know for a fact that no one genuinely went to read the whole drama, with both sides (including me) it shows that not only are our attention spans to blame but also the fact we don't care a lot about it. even though i have been following the whole yandere dev situation with a few videos throughout the years, i feel like this is when you realize how little kids are taught about not only research, but manipulation. there are many that never research including me, either because they never really understand the core concept, or they simply just really dont like reading, something that for me is out of the way. dramas are comfort zones for many, and not their business, so when they get out of their comfort zones for these dramas they don't care about, they will probably either be biased for one side due to not looking at the other side enough, or nope out quickly. i am literally just like all of these other people, and to be honest these dramas are 100% not my business, but its just interesting how many people comment on these videos after watching 1 video on a very deep and complex situation and think they figured it out, just because a youtuber said the "facts". and this is something that happened, with noodle, which blatantly lied to his viewers about triple a games and just has the complete wrong conclusion, and how he splices his video to get his point across, the manipulative wording, and just overall seeming just lifeless now. but as you expect i never even watched the original video lol. essentially what im saying is that all the sh im saying could possibly be false and that's ok, its my fault and its alright, we all make mistakes and for here i am shamelessly gonna say i didnt really need to watch the original video after watching the hour long video that analyzes the whole video. theres also the lack of truth and fact checking nowadays, and even though ground news seems cool, its really just about news, and overall from what ive seen there is almost zero truth checker, probably because of how complex these dramas are, they never ever stop with this, and of course when it comes to the kids they dont know that they gotta check every little thing for sources or they gotta listen to intentional manipulation by wording they just eat it up, and the video on noodle has taught me that kids will believe any youtuber if they have enough editing and nice enough words to sugarcoat the whole thing, exactly like american propaganda back in the 50s when sugarcoating was high tide along with other propaganda. its nice artwork but the sound design, the whole comfortable feeling, literally just propaganda and this is something myself came to a conclusion about, it just felt too obvious like propaganda. but nowadays when we dont have any time to look back on recent events due to it still unfolding, it really seems like its overwhelming and sometimes you believe the wrong people just because they speak fancy shmancy words. this happens to people like noodle or sunnyv2 or of course, yandere dev. there is a unlimited possibility of youtubers that really could be manipulating you into supporting their agendas and you never know, because you usually only watch the video once, and move on with your life. and i think this comes back to how we really dont care about these videos and strictly watch it for enjoyment, and how we believe in the official sounding people instead of just analyzing the situation by paying attention instead of using it as a whole comedy skit that lasts a hour and is scary. i dont know what to say for the conclusion but like... watch out for any of these slimy grimy youtubers and always know that no matter what they will try to make you subscribe to their agenda, either by the fact they didnt do something or they are hungry money thieves, i hope you somehow avoid them, and i hope your staying safe out these streets.
It's an unfortunate situation, but this is why it's important to talk to your child about stuff like this, keeping it age appropriate if they are still very young, as well as talking about internet safety

"I know she is far from the perfect victim" agreed but let's also start actively acknowledging that there is no such thing as a 'perfect victim' and the idea is simply a means to deny ANY victim any kind of justice and using their reaction to abuse as a means of denying them belief and aid. Trauma doesn't always make you a meek and quiet helpless person. Sometimes you end up helping your abuser cuz that's the only thing that you believe keeps you safe, sometimes you end up like me and become a deeply angry and distrustful person.
The more we attack people for not being perfect victims the more they will retreat often into the arms of their abusers.
Thank you, this
Very perfectly said. Thank you.

The most common reason that people keep trying to support Alex is that they don't want the game to die. While I'm also sad to see the game itself die, we need to remember that yandere simulator as an idea doesn't go away. Tons of talented individual have made "fan" works with these characters, imagined their own stories for them, some have even tried making games! We don't need Alex or his game for these characters and ideas to continue to live, we only need our own creativity.
One of them is me, the author of Kuroko's Knife series. The only difference is that I haven't given up, I haven't backed down, and I am brave and fearless to fight Alex Mahan. If you really want Yandere Simulator to end and you want to see a better production in better hands, it would be better to support me. Because I am holding the fight for revenge against Alex Mahan high, and I have the courage and hope to take Alex down.
I haven't forgotten what Alex did to me and others. A friend of mine was on the verge of s**cide because of him and a moderator shamelessly told him that it might be a good thing that he could do that. I managed to save him from that brink but what about those who suffered more at his hands? Alex Mahan must be punished and I must say this: God does not forgive those who trespass against people, those who persecute them and those who are heretics. As long as people do not forgive, God will continue to send his wrath.

As a past grooming victim (I was groomed by my own stepfather into stuff that's honestly terrifying to consider, looking back), the comment about being in the eye of the storm hit home for me.
When learning about the forms of abuse in school, I remember feeling that the lesson on s*xual abuse hit home for some reason. I kept denying it, thinking "No, he didn't touch me where I didn't want him to, no of course this isn't me!" Nothing anyone else said could dissuade me. My mom's comments and arguments about us being way too close were just things I glossed over.

Having the glass shatter is terrifying, especially when it's someone you look up to. Just be strong, you have family at home who can hopefully help you through this.
I was also groomed by MINE too...I hope she will be okay and I did cry at the end because I know she thinks Alex isn't that bad...but he is.
@HappyHyperHuggieNini
I hope you're okay...
I don't understand why there so many groomers? like man are you stupid enough to groom a child ?! behave you're self normally at least....
Yeah I was groomed and sexually exploited as a child by my uncle. It's terrifying how common this is. I hope you are both doing well these days and are in a safe place.
I am sorry about your past, but you guys should never jump right into conclusions, meaby try giving him a second chance?
@@maxthewolf001 you mean the yandev??????????????? I'm not going to waste my time hating him everywhere but will not give him second chance you need to understand darling that some people will like to just don't support him I mean it's better than hating him everywhere okay?
FINALLY someone wasn't just taking him at his word the whole time and actually spread the truth for once many RUclipsrs aren't very informed about the drama or don't care at all always take him at his word which sucks when he is a terrible person like yanderedev
If a RUclipsr already knew what he's like (SOG), they will enter skeptical and debunk the OF statement.
Callimara has been a long critic of his, she would never believe his blatant lies
Just remember this is the same guy who justified adding panty shots to his game where the characters are school kids
And the same guy who wanted the inventory screen to be a schoolgirl opening up her skirt.😭
This guy is same guy who added "Genocide Ending" and fans play it.
What enraged me was the amount of people who immediately were like “He seems sincere, took accountability, atleast there’s no ukulele. I forgive him.”
Like 1st of all THAT IS A GROOMER???? HE STILL DID IT!!
And 2nd, it’s so clear the amount of them were just people who liked the game with no real grasp on what actually happened
3rd I know he was directing his apology at everyone but what right did they have to forgive him? Like were they the victim? Keeping up with any of it? Or were they just desperate for this shitty game dev to not be problematic
the internet has really set a lot of people's standards for a good apology so low 😭
YD deleted all the negative comments
The ones that get me are the "Ive never heard of him, but he seems sincere."
Oh yeah? Yeah you have never heard of him or this drama and this somehow fell into your TikTok/RUclips algorithm feed? Stfu.
Tons of people are saying this on Tiktok.
It is 2024 and we have reached a point as a society where if it’s not a sing along musical pedophile it must not be that bad.
Scream
No ukulele, no buy! Is he stupid?
When he talked about defining "real" grooming to "respect" people who are actually groomed, I wanted to throw up. I'm a victim of grooming. What he did was grooming. There's no excuse and no getting out of it for him. I made a comment myself about how I was groomed and I went back to the video and saw my comment was gone. Not surprising at all.
I mean what to expect from a guy who thinks there should be an s-3-x license for minors. Whenever he "apologized" he is just shifting the blame, declare himself a victim of the whole world (his parents, being homeschooled, or seemingly "mother nature" for giving underaged girls breasts) and most importantly: He shoes no remorse at all and don't give the slightest bit about his victims. This guy belongs in jail, especially since it's clear that he won't stop, despite him seemingly having legal options with his two adult sugar mommies that orbit around him.
Yeah, the debunk video is terrible. The man LITERALLY SAID "You don't have to take my word for it. The girl posted a statement. " A statement that HE COACHED THE VICTIM TO WRITE!!!
It’s frustrating and frankly disgusting seeing people stand by him and tell him that “It’s okay” and “You made a mistake 🥺”.
I was thinking that he would pull a ukulele and start singing
“I’m not a groomer… just a loser”
and you are blind, if you were at least watching his video at least twice, you would understand that he is sorry, but all of you are just cyber-bullying him
@@maxthewolf001 Nope, he’s not sorry, he’s sorry that *he got caught*. It’s the same garbage that he’s been throwing around: he’s not the blame, it’s was a mistake, blah blah blah. He’s a disgusting person that needs to be off the internet.
@@maxthewolf001he isn’t he doesn’t care about her feelings
@@maxthewolf001boohoooo people are cyberbullying a 35 year old man for sexting with a teenager 😢😢😢
The fact that he tries to defend himself by coercing his victim into stating that they were the one that started inappropriately messaging him first is so funny, because even IF that were true he would still be the one at fault as a grown-ass man. You don't just get say well this minor wanted to send me nudes there's nothing I could do, You as the adult have the responsibility to shut that shit down immediately and ideally try to get into contact with a parent or guardian because that's extremely concerning behavior for the minor.
It's so funny to imagine an adult saying "No bro, I swear this kid forced me to ask them for nudes it's not a joke BELIEVE ME😭" lmao
The situation could've been avoided if he was mature enough to just reply, "I appreciate your support" then block the girl.
The fact Yandere Dev wasn’t put in jail is a travesty.
There's actually a RUclips group known as Trilogy Media, and their channel is dedicated to putting people like YanDev behind bars for good. I pray for the day where I can be able to take action when I gain the courage to do just that.

That’s what you said. I’m disgusted that you think something like this is okay to say
I'm really glad you brought attention to the fact that Cameron was 16 when he began working for Yandere Dev. For a man who got so angry about minors "wasting his time" asking to be volunteers, it's certainly interesting that he was actively hiring children to work for his game...
Even if Cameron told him he was 17 (which I'm sure he did, because he has always kept up the lie that he's a year older than he actually is), that still would've made him a minor. Either way, Alex knowingly hired a minor for his project after throwing a tantrum about children emailing him asking to work on the game. He's a hypocrite and a creep who deserves to be behind bars.
I recently posted a theorypost on r/Osana that it was all a lie, all of it, that everything he said was a lie and that his intent from the start until now, his reason for creating and dragging along Yandere Simulator, was to lure in and trap children so he could groom them for his every use and suck their parents' wallets dry of the hard-earned money of people who actually work for a living to raise families.
@@autobotstarscream765 someone grab Trilogy Media lol
Can you link the post?
everyone in this comment section keeps talking about how in his apology comments everyone was so forgiving, i find it hard to imagine **that** many ppl were fooled by him, he was definently deleting comments.
just remembered tiktok also exists
He did delete comments
I saw so many people on tiktok just joke about it, saying they'll "forgive" him if he ends the game etc. Truly horrific.
Game which you can take under skirt photos of innocent girls and Alex literally showing like so called "Protagonist is innocent, entire school is villain who want block her goal" and some childs believe this.
listening to the voice call felt like smth from a horror movie. Alex genuinely talks like a horror movie villain I'm so scared of him
You should check out Yandev AI covers
In fact he is a villain the difference is that its not a horror movie its reality
I remember talking to one of my friends who said “honestly it’s the kid’s fault” despite the fact that Alex is a grown ass man 💀. I want to throw up.

*HE* *ASKED* *HER* *FOR* *NSFW* *PHOTOS* *WHILE* *KNOWING* *SHE* *WAS* *UNDER* *AGED*
He's actually very lucky that this blew up when it did because if she had sent those photos Alex would be in prison for CP.
But the thing is... he has it. Or at least used to. He watched her nsfw video, knowing she's 16, and replied with how hot that was.

This guy doesn't know when to quit. I'm glad i was too young to give him any money
The biggest mastermind move he made was to fully ignore the snapchat messages as if those don't exist. Because he only addressed the VC and had the curated statement by the victim (and by controlling the comments in the channel) he managed to push the narrative he wanted. Even worse, most people finding out about this did so through his own video, so they get this version of him that apparently checks out and don't go looking for context. When you see his video first thing, there is enough plausible deniability to believe it, specially after the victim's statement, it's only after you find out the snapschat screenshots that it becomes clear what he is doing.

@@diediedice REAL!!!
YandereDarvo, Alex, is the epitome of how codependence will ruin your own life, especially on a failed project. This codependency he’s had (and still has) to keep his game afloat has now spilled into the mind of the minor he groomed, where now this young fan who's only 16 will do and say anything possible to keep the game going, even if it is false and sacrifices her own mental health and reputation. Both now heavily rely on the project because they believe it’s the one saving grace in their lives to keep them functioning, to the point they will do anything to cling onto it, which is the most depressing aspect to take away from this whole thing. Understandably, he doesn't want to accept that he fundamentally wasted ten years of his life, but it's blatant that the existence of this game is not helping anyone anymore, and is now doing more harm than good. I hope the child properly gets away from everything, and actual justice gets served to Alex before he inevitably does something to this level to another child again.
İs Jelly have Discord? İf she have what is her nickname?
any adult who talks that much about the age of consent needs to be formally investigated 😭😭
I'm working out the kinks to my fanfic while listening to this, and the part where he said he wants to apologise for what HE thinks he should made my eyes roll so hard I saw my brain.
Hey, if you have a character in your fanfic that's self-absorbed, destructive, and refuses to take accountability, you're getting some good inspiration.
@@ajgameguy3674 I can say that if I ever aspire to write one like that, I would 100% use Alex, then throw said character in jail for
life.
Even if ALL of his BS was true "The 16 year old lured me into sexual conversations!" is NOT a defense, any sane adult dips out of it.
Even if it was true that the 16-year-old was initiating the sexual conversations, which it's not. Why would he initiate with it unless he was a pedophile? The sheer fact that he continued with these conversations proves that he's a creep
“This fan told me right away that she was 16, but I didn’t care”
And that’s the problem, Alex. Not only was she your fan, she is/was 16. There is absolutely no reason that you as a 35 year old should be talking to a 16 year old, aside from a brief “thank you for supporting the game”
You had the power to shut the conversation down when “things got too spicy” and you started to “feel uncomfortable “.
Also, putting aside the predatory shit for a minute, other than the game what would you even talk about with a 16 year old? There is a huge age gap there, your interests are vastly different.
ALSO Also, Jelly was high while talking to him??? Hoo boy, that just makes him even more of a creep.
And I’m (not) sorry, but the moment an alleged predator starts defining what grooming is, I immediately do not wanna hear it. Abusers will often use this tactic to move the goal post so they could say “what I didn’t wasn’t abuse because I didn’t -insert what they think abuse is-“
It’s kinda like an emotional abuser saying they’re not an abuser because “I never even hit you, you are not abused”
It’s crazy that you predicted the apology and what his talking points are. He’s so predictable and pathetic.
As a grooming victim myself who has been abused all her life by my said groomer for a whole year, yanderedev is full of shit, his apology isn't sincere. He tried to make himself look like the victim, which is disgusting. He is not a victim, he's a fully grown adult who manipulated a child, he's a deplorable person and he doesn't deserve to have a platform. Anyone who tried to "accept" his apology aren't even victims themselfes, nor have any past of being groomed, so i don't get WHY they think that they have the right to accept an "apology" that wasn't theirs to begin with.
What I hate about RUclipsr Apologies is that it's only the Victim's right to forgive the apology. NOT the viewers! I hate how people still don't get that
Him saying "but idk how to shut down a minor who send me inappropriate stuff 🥺" disgust me. I, a 20 years old, met a friend online which I thought was an adult. Later on, in my Instagram art support group they started saying very inappropriate stuff (there are other minors in there 14+) . I told them to stop, they didn't. Then I told them that we could talk in private about this or make an NSFW group for 18+ people but NOT here. This person stated they were 15. I immediately told them how wrong it was for them to have lied to me about their age and that it was dangerous for them to say that stuff online. Then I kicked them out of the group and restrained their account. All of this in a few hours. I knew this person for months and developped a friendship with them, I threw everything away once this happened. Because guess what? Even if it hurts, it was the right thing to do, to protect the other minors and yes that underage person too.
I feel like a lot of minors who interact with NSFW content think that if THEY are okay with that sort of content, then it's okay for them to interact with it and share it, which is so not true. Especially considering the negative effects it has on both their mental health and overall safety, both online and irl
it's so crazy to me how he literally WAITED?? until january 1 2024 to post that video so he can say the allegations were "last year" to make the incident more dismissive
It terrifies me that someone like this can have a platform and have people who actually believe him despite how obvious his lies are
we could’ve had cool yandere game but we got THIS 💀
but hey “GUYS GUYS THE GAME ISNT DEAD LOOK CUSTOM MODE!!)
Alex is disgusting he took a young girl who was and still is the ACTUAL VICTIM and manipulated her and convinced tried to to convince everyone that Ali and jelly were the ones at fault. I genuinely hope that jelly gets better and I hope she knows that she's not at fault she's just a girl it was Alex's fault not hers.
the most disappointing thing was people saying "this felt so legit"
yeah... he's a manipulator.
like how are you still surviving online???
Every time he makes another apology he just makes it worse lmao 😭😭😭
I can't believe there are people out there giving MONEY to this guy
It's crazy I know. He did lose over half or I guess I should say 3/4 of his supporters. But still, it baffles me as to why there are STILL people giving him money when even the voice actors and all the volunteers left and even spoke up.
Jelly if you read this, I hope your family has a lawyer working on this. He’s not capable of learning from this on his own.
FUN FACT: 8 years ago, when I was still a teen, I made some fanart for Yanderedev, sent it to his email, but received no answer.
Back then, I assumed he was "too busy" or that my email got lost with the others he received.
Of course, in the following years, I heard of all of the controversies and what he did, left the "fandom" and I was actually really glad he didn't respond.
Now, one week ago, I check my emails, and if I had coffee I would've SPIT IT all over my walls because GUESS WHO DECIDED TO REPLY TO MY 8 YEARS OLD FANART MAIL?
More like: GUESS WHO'S TRYING TO IMPROVE HIS IMAGE?
Ayo Alex on the hunt! 😭
AAAYOOO !
The fact that he didn't adress almost ANYTHING and still has people falling for his words is absolutely ridiculous to me, to say the least. Ridiculous and horryfying at the same time. It seems to me that he only mentioned those of his doings that might not seem inappropriate in people's eyes just to be like "oh I know I crossed the boundaries a little uh-oh silly me, but I won't do that any longer so let's just move on as if nothing ever happened hehe". I've watched his whole video while it was still up, and was waiting for him to at least admit to asking the girl for those videos, let alone explain what the actual f was going on. It wouldn't justify any of his actions, but still. He did not adress anything.
And I personally believe that people can change if a certain amount of work on themselves is done. But not in his case. Instead of him knowing and openly admitting to having this problem of having an inappropriate interest in minors, he sees nothing wrong with it or does something about it and just keeps doing what he was doing. And who knows how many girls like Jane are there out there, who are just afraid to speak up. This is absolutely horryfying and disgusing and I have no idea how he managed to get away with doing this for so long
and watching his video after the one you uploaded, where there is legit proof of him guiding the writing of the victim's statement was an enraging experience.
I'm very grateful for your hard work though. People should know more about what kind of person he is and be very cautious around him, or the ones with similar behavour patterns.
The worst apology video of 2024 also the first youtuber apology video of 2024.
Colleen Ballinger: "Finally, a worthy opponent. Our battle will be LEGENDARY!"
Its really bad when just about every excuse he made i can find in every episode of How To Catch a Predator.
Yeah considering funisinfinite's video about him talking about under aged characters in a rather disgusting game he played, its quite obvious that he actually does believe the license thing. The fact the debate even happened shows he disagrees with the current age of consent.
Whenever i have a bad day, at least I can remind myself that I'm not alex
I have been trying to avoid this whole conflict because yandere simulator was my childhood. but after seeing so many videos and sources showing the true intentions of yandere dev, i had to figure out what really was going on. i will admit, this was painful to hear. i admired this man and now i have the complete opposite feelings of him. the fact this exact video has so much concreate evidence convinces me yandere dev was a groomer. and i don't feel like yandere dev should be forgiven. which i do not like to type down but its the simple truth. thank you for the informative video, people need to watch this to really understand the whole situation. :)
I’m not sure there was ever a point where he was actually admirable
@wajmgirl i see your point, he wasn't a very admirable man. but before i saw all this i simply had a different mindset of him. i thought of him like another person like you or me, but he was not what I expected. anyways though, thanks for commenting on my comment! take care! (:
THANK YOU for your in-depth analysis of his statement (really can't call it an apology lol). A lot of RUclipsrs talking about this know that it's bad, but just don't have the understanding of the whole situation and maybe can't recognize all the patterns of manipulation in his language. So I'm really grateful for this video and all the other ones you've done on this situation!
Epic someone smart enough to see through the lies
The way he keeps calling her “the girl” is so disrespectful and telling in so many ways
Every time he opened his mouth I rolled my eyes harder than I ever did. He should be the poster child(since he acts like a child)for groomers. Jelly needs to be taken out of social media by the people who take care of her, because she keeps interacting with him and being manipulated by him. She needs to distance herself and learn how to not fall back for his antics
As a grown up you are the one to set boundaries you don’t get to pull the “I’m lonely card”
Watched the whole thing and now have a MUCH better standing. Sad it had to be this way, but you can no longer separate the 'art' from the 'artist' any longer. The manipulation was pretty sickening.
The amount of forgiveness in the original video comment section that’s present EVEN THOUGH ITS NOT THEIR APOLOGY TO ACCEPT was wild. We all know his fan base that sticks around are mostly kids and young teens who truly don’t know better and he really knows that still and it’s disgusting. I think the worst I saw was someone who donated $10 in their comment actually baffled me.
What really bothers me is that these groomers time and time again make the same excuse that the minor made sexual advances to them first and that they felt pressured to pretend they were okay with it. What's even more sickening is some gullible people buy into this common bs excuse. It doesn't matter that the minor was into the adult, their actions can't consent because their age doesn't consent. It is very important that when an adult is friends with a child that there are strict boundaries in place. As the adult it's your responsibility that if the kid gets out of line that you tell them to stop and block contact with them. If you do nothing to stop them and just engage back inappropriately it automatically comes off that you are preying on the child. No matter what your intentions and feeling were in the moment, there's no evidence backing up that you weren't okay with it when you only went along with it and did nothing to prove that you weren't okay with it. The only evidence shown to us in yandere dev's case is that he stayed in contact with this 16 yr old girl, responded fondly to her inappropriate remarks, and engaged in sexually inappropriate conversations with her. Nothing about his actions back then shows he was pressured and uncomfortable with where the relationship was going. Therefore we can't prove his statements to be truth and we can only prove he's guilty by the evidence provided. You aren't going to get off of any criminal charges with evidence so damning by saying "Yes I did this crime but I didn't want to do it."🤦♀
I can't believe I believed his apology thank you so much for clarifying the situation!
I think even entertaining this as an apology is a mistake, it’s just a statement. He’s not sorry for anything.
it was genuinely so sad to see how so many ppl his comment section were victim blaming jelly
Alex was deleting the comments.
Thank you for absolutely disproving his BS with even more evidence of his lies and foolishness painting himself as the victim is crazy! smh
Once again, another example of the culprit in question using mental health as an excuse for their horrible actions. Who could've seen this one coming? 🙄
Like no seriously, is it so hard to say: "It's my fault and I'm sorry" instead of putting the blame on someone else? Is it so hard to take accountability and not instead do a poor attempt at garnering sympathy? Good lord... 😒
Right!?
It must be of whatever pride he has left because it really shouldn't be that hard to simply say, "You know guys, I messed up it's my faults." Or even a genuine, "I'm sorry."
It also sickens me that he has the audacity to blame it on mental health (although not surprising given that it's alex). When even if it was the case, I don't recall ever hearing or reading the having mental health causes you to talk with miners?! It's already so difficult for people with actual mental health problems to come forward because of these people who just use it as an excuse to literally anything. They see it as a *get out of jail free* card when all they had to do was say, "Sorry."
@@LadyMauraM Exactly, like don't give any excuses just say "I'm sorry" and move on. There's no need for exaggerations and yet many apologies are full of it nowadays. (not all of them but most of them)
@@obinnamommoh185 "don't give any excuses just say "I'm sorry" and move on"
The problem is that what he did doesn't warrant an apology... it warrants a prison sentence.
When Yandere Dev said "now that I've apologized" (paraphrased) and went into some long statement about how he's improving his life, I found them both funny and annoying. The man dodges accountability, then acts as if all is resolved and he can just move on. He just skips the punishment (which should include prison time...) and talks about his life as if he went on some self-improvement journey and turned his life around, when we all know he's probably embellishing at best.
The man straight up committed crimes, and he talks like his mental well-being is the one most important. Instead of, you know, that of the child's.
I've been waiting for this! Thank you so much for addressing this situation. Nobody else has spoken about it with all of the necessary information and facts.
Btw Harleytbs has had a bad history with other art commentary RUclipsrs (I used to watch his vids before I found out about his behavior), so hearing him mentioned here was a bit surprising tbh.
I said this before and I will say it again. ALEX MAHAN SHOULD NEVER GET AWAY WITH THIS!
The fact he thinks saying “sorry” is gonna fix the trauma he put on a child
Ngl I was already searching for these kinds of videos after his video cause I watched it and he came off so believable but I knew something was up. I later found out how shitty and manipulative his response was.. the part that threw me off the most is when a channel pointed out the girl’s (victim’s) statement that yandere dev kept referring too. Like yk the one he might’ve edited for his one benefit (cause who tf says *VERY NORMAL* in a situation like this)

It creeps me out , like I don't know if it's normal or not for people to sound like that , but I know many horrible people that sounds like robots, their words always lack emotions even a hint of emotion is none existent, that's how he sounds to me
he was genuinu but this cyber-bullying needs to stop
This is quite ableist pls educate yourself on Autism
@@desvdam we don't even know if alex has autism and also it's not ableist, they weren't saying that he sounds robotic bc he might have autism
@@skoshxx i never said he did, but we don't know, generally speaking judging something like that IS ableist because it's 'not normal' it can stem from disability + it is unwanted. Therefore it's ableist.
I was so confused when I got a notification to his video and I'm ashamed to say, I only then realized I hadn't unsubscribed to him yet 💀
The amount of info he left out in his apology is crazy😭
Just watched your whole yan-sim playlist, I loved seeing your art grow over the years! You have improved so much!
I love how he keeps saying “it’s only bad because you don’t know the context” but said context makes it WORSE
