Thank you for making this video Hannah, all of my respect and love goes out to the victims. Also to everyone who knew or watched him, please don't blame yourself for any of this. These kinds of people are great at hiding their actions and sometimes it's just impossible to know.
@@PauIdenino Objectively you are a nitwit. Prove your point right, that they do want people like you subbing to them. Oh wait, you can't, because in clear terms a lot of them are saying right here that they don't want to associate with you or people like you.
@@Dy0rk I've managed to make it 29 rotations around the sun and somehow have 0 accusations or allegations of sexual assault, abuse, or rape. Every single one of my peers, some of which make considerably more money than Sexual Predator J, also have 0. You can point to the 4-9% of cases that are false allegations all you want, but when you have 9 people accusing you the odds that they are all lying, vs the odds of the person being a creep, are about the same as the odds you take a breath in the next 5 minutes vs the odds the earth has an asteroid hit it in the next 5 minutes.
i remember watching the irl drunk stream with you two a few years ago, and i know yall were pretty good friends which im sure makes this entire situation a lot harder than normal. but thank you for speaking out for whats right, as you always do. much love
@@imnezu8940does anyone coming to apparently care about proof not watch the video where proof is **not being shared here, it's being shared with police**
6:40 this part is crazy because i ALWAYS saw his name in the viewer list of so many osrs streams even if they were offline. Never thought much about it but him having a program to stalk people using that makes so much sense
That isnt that much special, when you use chatterino app for twitch chat, u have chats as tabs and unless you close the app (which he didnt mostly) it makes you look online in that chat. And also has the tag thing when someone says ur name. But anyway, he is still piece of shit
I also happened to notice him 24/7 in a stream. they have those lil dancing sprites with viewer names above them on the stream, and Defy was ALWAYS there. It got to a point where I'd go to said stream JUST to see if Defy was there. This video answered a lot of questions
Hannah you are very brave person. Standing up for all these woman and being a voice for those who don't yet feel comfortable. Truly keep it up, because the Osrs community will always need you.
Edit: I am not a smart man. This definitely is serious. My apologies. Do you believe any of this is true? I genuinely can't tell if Hanannie is being serious in any capacity
@@IAmTheGoblinThis is not something you'd joke about. Not like this. It would be over the top silly allegations (likely just ingame stuff) if it was. Like he stole all my cabbages and blocked me from being able to woodcut. This is serious.
I wasn't sure how, like, serious this video is. I see now that it is in a similar style as the McCune video, so I'd wager this is pretty serious. I don't know why I did not think this video was serious. My mistake. My heart goes out to those who are affected by this guy's actions.
Yoooo holy shit this is dark I wasn't expecting to hear this. I knew defyj seemed like a weirdo but holy fuck that guy's a fucking menace. At least you spoke out.
Not all heroes wear capes, sometimes they wear woodcutting capes. As someone close to some of the people involved in this situation, I want you to know you have my utmost respect and admiration for all that you've done. Thank you for taking such a risk to protect all current victims and prevent any potential future ones. Please keep yourself safe. The world is a better place with you in it.
I can only imagine how difficult it is to learn about all this, then also have the strength to publically come forward with this information. Thank you for everything you do for this community, Hannah. ❤
No fucking way you commend Hanannie for his "strength to come forward" instead of the actual victims, the ones who feel the shame and fear. What the actual fuck. PS: Good on ya Hanannie, for giving the victims a platform to voice what has happened to them.
I don't want to sound cold, callous or in any way trivialize or marginalize the experience and trauma that his victims have experienced, but I'm honestly not surprised at all. Dude always had a skeevy, creepy, will wear your skin as a mask vibe to me. It's honestly sad to see that I wasn't wrong.
Yeah not a single screenshot in this video, so I'm slightly skeptical. Not saying it is or isn't true, just saying it doesn't really mean much without any evidence, from a YT audience perspective at least.@@Dy0rk
@@forthehomies7043 brother do you want this to be a edp 2.0 where youtubers ruin the cops chances at doing anything? she def isnt trying to give out evidence of an ongoing police investigation
For those who watch/have been impacted by this "alleged" behavior - I recommend reporting to Twitch's Off-Service Investigations team as this is seriously warranting not only local police investigation, but also considering he makes money off the platform that he uses to commit these "alleged" acts of violence, we should be doing as much as possible to prevent this from happening to anyone else.
You know how dangerous it is for someone in an ACTIVE investigation dealing with someone who gaslights, abuses, and threatens someone's life/family/career after being groomed and traumatized? How many times women are not believed in court, how many times we have to go through this song and dance until someone actually pays for the crimes they commit? Secondly, Hannanie is only speaking to those individuals in confidence, as this person is still VERY at large and VERY accessible to these women. Also obviously the police is VERY aware what is going on, and has already attempted to go after him twice now in Australia, and is still continuing this behavior. This video is meant as a PSA to those who give him money, and support this behavior. @@imnezu8940
@@imnezu8940 Jesus Christ are you dumb? It's already been said that they are working with police. Hannah ran this video past lawyers to make sure that nothing would jeopardize the case or any investigations. They're being kept anonymous in this video for SEVERAL reasons. Grow a brain cell, dude.
At the same time though, the way he acts and complains about hannah in that video no longer seems like it was over the top for comedy, probably his genuine manchild reaction.

Absolutely disgusting, how can someone really think they will get away with this sort of shit to any extent, its pretty wild. Thanks for standing up for everyone involved 🙏
Just so you know, Snapchat SAVES EVERYTHING. Every single message and every single picture he's sent, is stored somewhere at snapchat and they will be able to provide that information. It only dissapears client side.
I respect the risk you're taking to post this given how stridently your legal reps must've advised against it Hana. I hope that bravery doesn't come at a cost to you or to his alleged victims - but it does speak to how well-regarded you are that they've come to you with their stories because they know you'll hear them out and advocate for them. Fingers crossed that everyone finds some form of closure and safety, and that there's no future chances for others to be victimised by the predators lurking in the community.
I was expecting this to be a silly usual fun Hannah video trolling her good ol' pal Defy, I was waiting for her tone to change and for the fun and silliness to start. The 10 seconds or so it took for it to gradually sink in that this wasn't a usual video made my freaking stomach plummet. The only positive I can draw from this is that the truth is out now, and he's going to get what's coming to him. Also, thank you Hannah for making this video, it's a brave move to be THE person bringing this to the public's attention, and that's gotta be especially hard being a former good friend of his.. Hope _you're_ doing alright amidst all of this too.
May the proper authorities swiftly take the proper actions needed in response to these heinous behavioural trends. My heart is with the victims. Such a despicable revelation
thank you for speaking out. it really sucks knowing my own ex abuser is still out there (not in the rs community). for years after I broke up with him I continued to feel like I was the bad guy because he had made me push away all of my friends who defied him so all I had left was people who were on his side entirely. but later on I came back to this community that he was active in and it was like, a widely known fact that he was an extremely manipulative shitty person and people were trying to get the fbi involved. it sucks no one called him out before then because it probably would have prevented a lot of abuse from happening. a lot more people were abused by him after me and I'd had no idea. I believe there's this phenomenon in large social communities like this where there will be a known Bad Person that everyone just avoids but doesn't really talk about, and then new people join the community not knowing anything because no one else talks about it, and they fall victim to that bad person. it's better to speak up as soon as these things happen. I definitely know that as a victim it can be very difficult and terrifying to speak up against your abuser, especially if you're still affected by their manipulation and have that doubt about your experiences being "bad enough" to even talk about- but DO IT. just tell someone so you can get an unbiased perspective and maybe they'll be able to help. anyway thank you for making this video :)
That’s literally what happens, or the person leaves the community and then goes to another one and keep up their abuse rampage. We have to speak up. It’s our duty!
Sorry to hear this happened to you but hope you are doing better now. Hope you found happiness with the person you are with now. He better treat you right or Hannanie is going be coming XD.
Thank you for making a video about this to prevent future victims, especially with runefest starting back up this year Who knows what could've happened if this continued to stay hidden
Hanannie, thank you for taking on this great responsibility, and speaking up for the victims in a honorable and concise manner, you’re doing a brave and powerful work for those who deserve justice.
Used to be a HEAVY drug addict and never once did I consider abusing a lady. Boggles my mind how people can live with themselves doing stuff like this and not feel 10000% pathetic
when i was a teenager, i was groomed by a serial predator. i and his other victims didn't speak out or even realize his behavior was abusive until years later. it's not only validating to hear someone unequivocally state that these things are unacceptable, but by making this video, you're making the world a safer place for this person's victims as well as for vulnerable people in similar situations who are too scared to share their experience. thank you so much. you really are a community champion.
Intuitively always felt sus af about him when he appeared on Behemoth etc. Could never explain why. Very mature take at the end and this video is exactly how one should speak on these matters. Thoughts are with the victims.
I am kind of sad. I have been subbed to this man for almost 2 years. I've given bits and subs and stuff. I am sad that I didn't notice this before. He walks away during stream so often. He always has some situation irl which he struggles with. He always has trouble with moving. He always needs money despite insane amounts of donations. I don't know how I didn't see it but I am obviously not going to support it any longer.
I always felt he was kinda creepy and would always skip his highlights in community channels for that reason, not surprised. Hope he's punished and that the victims find closure.
I’m not laughing at the situation as it’s clearly serious, just at the post (before anyone flames me for the emojis) But your post did make me chuckle 😋
I know my comment's gonna be oddly parasocial, but I truly appreciate you using your platform to speak out on behalf and for the betterment of other people. There's been a few times where my life's fallen (or been pushed) into some sort of dark depths or another, and around the same time you'd release a video about the horrors you and others have had to face, between your own mental health and, of course, dealing with manipulative and abusive people. But each of those times, you didn't sit and dwell upon what you "could've done better, could be doing better," etc. You took your fears and pain, and used them as motivation to propel others forward and build up the community so less have to fall into such pits themselves. I've been long caught in the process of seeking help for myself, having opportunities to better my life open and close simultaneously, and as I find myself in those times, I'm glad to see your videos both whether they're just funny cuwumie jokes, or when you drop the bit to talk about something deep and personal. The latter type of video really helps remind me "the world may look like it's shit and feel like it's full of abusive people, but that's not all the world is. There are people who care and want those around them to succeed, because there's strength in community."
Seeing a lot of names I recognize in the comments gives me hope, that means this information may reach where it's needed. This isn't about proof, that's for the cops to deal with, this is about warning as many people as possible. I can only hope the victims are not still with him.
Dam this is shocking, haven’t watched twitch in a while but he always seemed genuine and humble from his community and thankful for all gifts and support he received from streaming. If this is all true it’s horrible thinking that you are monetarily helping him fund his operation. He should pay everyone back in the community
Between having heard DefyJ speak, his overall character and the ''allegedly's'', it was difficult to see if this was a bit or if it was serious. As the video went on, I've slowly been realizing that the batshit insane character I thought he pretended to be, is ''allegedly'' his actual self. Jesus Christ. Guess it's time to start purging any platform that's affiliated with him, even though it won't do much
I can get behind almost everything in this video except for the Snapchat bit. Idk the people in your circle, but I got Snapchat in college and still talk to my friends from college on there weekly. You are making a strong claim there. @7:07
Hannanie just claimed that all snapchat users are "pedophiles and abusers" nothing this guy says should be taken seriously. He made this video for views and "drama" he doesnt give a flying f about the victims
I got asked about Defy situation a few times during my streams, and I had no idea why. But now I do understand... in my 15 months of being a content creator, this has to be the most fucked up thing i've heard. I'm so sorry for the victims❤ Let's hope justice and karma is served.
Thank you Hanannie for speaking up for victims. It's so sad this isn't the first predator in our community and worse he probably won't be the last. Here's hoping the justice system in AUS can give the victims some sense of closure and consequence for a monster.
Don't mean to demean any of this but, it's hard for me to believe this until I see any proof. It doesn't matter what I believe, nor is it a requirement of Hannah to show us any proof for a YT video, but I can't just believe something without any proof. Innocent until proven guilty.
@@zenathemalewarrior Yes, and I do understand Hannah didn’t show any because of ongoing legal action, and repeatedly says allegedly, but I’m unable to make an informed opinion without anything.
@@lexingtonbrython1897 Thanks for letting me know, that is definitely sketchy… and I do understand that most people don’t just make things up like this.
@@lexingtonbrython1897 If everyone was accusing you of being a rapist etc. you'd do the same thing. He probably is guilty, but that never excuses making such accusations without evidence.
Hot take. I wanna believe all of this. Its probably all true but Lets wait till the police get ahold of him and more women speak out and not have it through one person. Too many times in the past i heard skewed stories.
that last bit to him about seeing their perspective was powerful. I've had issues with control and jealousy. nothing close to this, thankfully, but that was the only way I figured I needed to get help as well. Thank you for speaking out about this.
Hannah thank you for sharing this, I can't stress enough how important it is to expose these kinds of people and offer proffesional help to the victims. As someone who has a female friend to who something similar happened, you're doing what a lot of people are too scared to do and I thank you for that.
Mom wake up! A new Hanannie takedown video dropped! In all seriousness I had never heard about any of this. You're an amazing person and we're glad you're here to give his victims a voice.
@@LooisAngel-cl5fj So you're saying that if you do something ill-advised, it's best to make it as bad of a decision as possible? Mental. That's like saying if someone pisses you off, and you're gonna say something mean back to them, you might as well just murder them because the best decision was just to move on with your day. Any evidence shown here would be significantly harder to use in court. This video is a PSA, not a legal statement.
I trust you and know this is in good faith, but maybe get some evidence together for the greater community who needs it. These are serious things to just throw out as accusation with a little bit more than trust in your word. People are going to get angry about this but whatever.
You can say a million times but nobody listens because they don't want to be mean or they enjoyed the little bit of viewership they could leach off him@@Sam-hz7nk
Sorry where is all of the evidence though? I was expecting to see proof/evidence but this entire video is literally she said/he said. Am I missing something???
@@chanda6973 this video shouldn’t have been posted then. Posting a video without evidence and expecting people to just believe your word is kind of BS. And if by posting this you are jeopardizing a legal case it’s even worse. Either way this lazy video doesn’t do anyone any justice. Until you can provide some actual factual information with evidence thsi video should be removed. I could’ve posted this exact same video and name dropped anyone I wanted and it would be just as legit as this video. Do better.
@@macberg5806 i do agree with you, the video probably shouldn't have been made. Never said anything to make it sound like it should have been. Was just saying why there was no evidence shown in video
Makes me absolutely sick thinking I ever even hung out in his chat. Thank you for coming out about this and giving these victims a voice. I hope some justice and come from this
as per the first 20 secconds of the video, this is actively being handled by police, and hannannie would of been told by the lawyer she mentioned to not show any screenshots as it gives defyj a chance to say these are fake and use it in anyway as a defence as a hate / beef video. defyj wont be live for a little while until he runs from this. if you truly believe defyj is innocent you are a creep as well plain and simple you deserve the same as him.
you will be eating humble pie in the coming days, this dude is a cretin, you only have to watch his stream for 30 secconds to see this guy isnt right in the head, he makes me ashamed to be aussie.@@danfromtheburgh
To be fair, he would be placing his channel at risk if the claims were false. 😂 You think he put this much work into RuneScape, but didn’t do his research?
Sounds horrible, it really does. But you definitely shouldn’t have made this video. You can’t normalise calling people rapists with zero evidence. Let the criminal justice system deal with this, that’s what it’s for. When a guilty verdict is reached, make as many videos as you want. This is all super horrible and needs to be dealt with, but not like this.
How come he has completely vanished soon as this video went live? Didn't update any of his supporters or anything. Just deleted everything and vanished.
@@Twrix10that's completely normal for this channel. She'll occasionally not upload for upwards of a month at a time, that's just how it is. (She also just uploaded a new video so there's that)
@@Twrix10 im not saying defyj is innocent. I’m just don’t agree that it’s okay to call him or anyone a rapist with zero evidence. I’d rather it just get dealt with privately and taken seriously by a judicial system. I’m not saying Hananie is talking Bs either, it may all be true. But if you’re gonna call someone a rapist on the internet, you should provide some evidence at the very fucking least. If you can’t provide evidence for legal reasons then don’t make the fucking video.
Petty crimes send you to jail but social manipulation is near impossible to convict. Love this world and it's victim blaming methods. You just know that every petty crime has a bigger one behind it. People get upset, that's why the world seems so shitty. Not because theft and murder, but because so many people thrive on unspoken manipulation.
