What you have done is unforgivable, this there is no denying, but you aren't a horrible person. You're a person who did some really bad decisions and regrets it. The difference between a horrible person and a person who did a horrible decision is actually shown with how you reacted with the situation with your first public statement, you didn't try and justify your actions and you showed genuine remorse and guilt. A horrible person wouldn't feel that way or say the things you said, they would have actually enjoyed what they did even after the fact, they wouldn't have felt the emotion of guilt or regret. You did however and you repeated many times that you wish to repent for it, showing you have hope of redemption and you still have humanity in your heart, things a horrible person wouldn't have, so keep striving and rebuild yourself as a human again. And remember that there will always be people who care for you and love you even in your darkest times.
I'll copy/paste what I wrote barely an hour ago: "If you are still genuinely so afraid of slipping into those habits like you sound in the last video's description, maybe it is time to get actual professional help, assuming you aren't already. That will help more than "imploring the community to help guide me to be a better person", especially since you won't have to worry about slipping back while talking face to face with a professional."
Seeking professional help is also very important to be able to eventually forgive yourself. Those feelings of guilt can eat you up from the inside if you just let them fester... Forgiving oneself is something very hard to do, even if others forgive you. Please look for a therapist that is legit and sort yourself out. Also, worse people than you have managed to redeem themselves and forgive themselves; You said you feel like you don't deserve it, but considering your feelings of guilt, is there anything that deserves your dedication more than seeking redemption and forgiveness? Stay safe and walk forwards, man.
@@AbstractTraitorHero Does he live in the Philliphines? Honestly know nothing about him, since I only started following for Touhou a few months ago. If he does, yeah, good point.
As someone who dealt with grooming I find this as a right thing to do and can appreciate what the victim said and how string storm acted on trying to make things right even if it doesn’t treat the damage, if my abuser tried to do this I might even hear him
Agreed. Neither side tried to downplay what happened or the effects it had. It was weirdly mature for the internet, haha. You can't undo something like this. There is literally nothing you CAN do to "fix" it because you can't erase that memory or how it affects the victim. Similarly, the abuser (in the event they do feel guilty for their actions) can never erase the memory of what they did. All both parties can do is try to mitigate the negative effects of the situation and turn it into something as positive as they can. It's never going to be WHOLLY positive, but both parties can hopefully make something worthwhile out of it.
Agreed! Although I'm disappointed at SS for what he did, but compared to people like boyinaband, miniladd and so many others who try to downplay, belittle or even resort to victim blaming; it's honestly in a sad and twisted way, a breath of fresh air to see him own up to his horrible actions. He was willing to take punishment, he was ready to repent, no excuses, no self pity, but accepting accountability, and the consequences of his own actions. I hope he improves in the future.
Best recommendation I can give - try to get professional help to get at the root of the problem, if you can and aren't already. It doesn't retroactively fix things, but it might help prevent it going forward. The openness and honesty are always appreciated. Although, finding out what this was all about was mildly confusing, with the previous video privated. Might want to change that, for a bit at least. Less of a bad look. Edit: Well, I think I might've had a bit of a YT glitch, it's showing up now. Not sure if it was actually privated or it just disappeared because RU-vid's code is held together with duct tape and hopes and dreams.
@accelerationquanta5816 I feel like I responded but I'm not seeing it. Weird. Anyway, uh, short version, to put it bluntly, taking sexual advantage of someone and possibly also grooming. Don't know why you're sticking around here instead of checking other comments or the video literally right below this one on his channel, but I've given up on actually comprehending the rest of humanity's decision making. That kind of behavior tends to come from somewhere, hence my original feedback of Stringstorm getting professional help dealing with it and not just asking the community to help keep him accountable. To be fair, he opened up about this himself, far as I can tell unprompted, which ks a good start. If the inciting incident is somehow not problematic behavior to you, then... I honestly don't know what to tell you or if it'll even matter if I try to do so, since at that point our world views are so utterly different and opposed that there's no reconciliation in some kind of ethical agreement. I am also keenly aware this is the RU-vid comments section, and there is approximately a 75% chance I'm being actively trolled right now, but that honestly isn't a massive issue to me.
The fact that you’re owning up to it, and you admit what you did was wrong, AND that you’ve decided to use your mistakes to grow as a person rather than just try and bury the past really makes me have hope that maybe, there’s redemption for worse people out there, and that they too realize they can use their sins as an opportunity to grow. May your days be many and your woes few.
You can't rebuild a burned bridge, but you can, with time, build a new one. It will be hard, and many will look at you with different eyes, but if you're as sorry as you say you are, it's possible that many new bridges can be built, but many others may not be willing to do that again.
First off, you owe your viewers nothing in this situation. The only people you owe anything to are your victim and yourself. I will continue to listen to your songs as long as they continue to be good. I do wish to share a thought on redemption that I do hope helps: Redemption will come when the better man is normal and the fear of the being you once were is a distant memory. Do not obsess over prostration and self flagellation.
I am proponent of seperating the artist from their work. While i do not, and will not "forgive and forget" the things you've told. I am glad that you recognized the problem and are working to fix it. Ive listened to your work for years before, and while i never subscribed, i do it now out of sincere respect, and hope to hear more of the hard work you put in every song.
So are you proponent or not? Like, at the same time you want to separate the work from the creator, you still said you wanted to hear more songs, sorry for bad english.
@vortex59_ it means- I will consume the works if it is still well made, after all He is not the only person who makes these songs, there are other people who contribute to the works i really do like- its like a well made movie created by someone i dont like, I can hate the director, but I love the actors that helped make this movie. Hell he's getting help now. Let's be real, nobody hears it from the person themselves until they are caught alor get leaked. At least this person came out and is making the decisions to deal with his mental issues. It is a shame that this happened, especially by a creator who is the ONLY ONE making this type of content. And there is a strong chance we will just never get these pieces again.
People can grow, change, and become better than they were. The people they hurt in the past are under no obligation to forgive them for their transgressions or invite them back into their lives just because they have made those strides. I see a mature resolution. No issue.
Agreed. Even if they DO forgive you, dealing with genuine guilt will require self-forgiveness. You can't control whether you get theirs or not. That is for them to determine based on how you handle yourself. You cannot "earn" it either. Forgiveness given in exchange for some kind of service isn't real forgiveness. You can take actions to try and convince them of your sincerity toward being a better person, but ultimately their forgiveness is something they choose to grant or not. You need to make peace with the fact that they may never forgive you, as is their prerogative, but hopefully they will in time
@accelerationquanta5816ah yes anything you want, doesn’t exist yet if you murder someone it’s almost like everyone desires you to drop dead. Morals are nonexistent but wanna know what does? The Law.
I don't know how to feel about this but... I'll at least give you what credit is due: we got to hear it from _you_ _first_ rather than from the outcries of the victims. Moreover, it seems you genuinely feel regret and have been very honest about it. Now get some help irl.
@accelerationquanta5816my guy you do know mental help is a thing? He already knows he’s in the wrong and stopped himself before things got worse, if anything he is just a person who needs help like therapy
@accelerationquanta5816bro stop putting your cheap edgy philosophy cause you trying to sound smart. Things can be right or wrong. However they also can be grey. This situation is only slightly grey honestly.
I' ve been a long time listener to your content and warhammer in general, not just because of the wonderfull music you made, but because of the wonderfull community of Warhammer and other communities and fandoms i learned about by listening to your music. Although i never commented or interacted much with this community, considering myself a silent observer who just enjoyed the good wibes. I feel the need to comment on this day after this news. One thing i always tried to avoid with youtubers or content creators, authors, actors is a parasocial relationship because ive seen to many times how that thinking brings many bad things, even if not always malicious. Though il admit with Warhammer it held a special place in my heart and broke this self impossed rule, because of the passion and heartfelt dedication of this fandom and the people in it. To see that passion and good will being used by some one for their own selfish and evil ends is quite heartbreaking... but that doesnt mean that the the stories and art every person makes becomes evil or bad due to this. It is a reflection of the author in a way. And it will be hard to ever listen to anything you make without remembering what you did. Every time i listen to any of your songs, i will be reminded that it came from some one who did an incredibly wrong thing to someone who dint deserve to be manipulated and used because they loved a community and used this passion and good will that was built by everyone in it for his own ends. But that doesnt mean humans cant change. You seemed to understand what you did was wrong and apologised and i hope it is genuine, because it too often happens that it is not... I hope that you continue to create music, because when i listen to it now, while it is with knowledge of what you did, it is also with hope that the stories of hope and heroism and wanting to be better in them are genuine aspirations and that you will work on emulating them instead of the darkness each of us possessess. Also i hope you get professional help for it as while all of us have inner demons and can sucumb to them, we do not walk the path of life alone and you shoudlnt be afraid to ask for helpand seek to make amends, if you genuinely want to live up to the songs about hope and heroism you wrote about. That will be all im sorry if this is very long, but i wanted to say my peace on this.
but like he didnt use the community or anything to manipulate the victim in question though. it happened 7 years ago. it had nothing to do with warhammer.
for ten thoudand year i have fought for on my own,for ten thousand years spent in endless war and yet i shall wait for ten thousand more to see a brother happy and return once more
After reading the texts and listening to you I believe that the victim and you both showed great courage, strength, understanding and commitment. Change is the most hardest painful and grueling process in human history but the reward of peace, acceptance and forgiveness is worth it. Keep fighting to change and you will come out stronger and better than today.
I think opening up about this and being transparent is a good first step, and while many people are incapable of forgiveness, I believe that everyone is capable of becoming better. However my concern now is that you've said that you avoid interacting with the community for fear of repeating this behavior, that being the case I believe the best course of action is to withdrawal from the internet for the time being and seek professional help.
Withdrawal from certain parts of the internet is definitely needed, but it'll be good if he keeps contact with the people in his life willing to give him a second chance. Isolation won't do him any good on this matter. Unfortunately from what I know he's in a very bad spot financially, and thus probably can't afford therapy. That's why, if he can mantain contact with those still willing, he should.
I just want to wish you good luck, ‘cause you’re moving on the right way. Therapy really helps. Having a person who knows everything about you and still accepts you wholly, and strives to help you change. I trust you’ll be back to us, albeit in a few months’ time. I’ll keep listening to your songs, Pretty Marines, Atrocity, Titanicus, Death of Horus, They Are My Space Marines, Protean Politics, Warriors of the God Emperor, Black Rage and others, because I love them so much.
You're owning up to it, good. What you did was sick, but recognize that and learn from it. Im glad you got some closure, I hope both parties can recover from this.
@accelerationquanta5816 who the nine hells is David Hume? Because if this so called author is saying morality isn't real, he's at least a sociopath if not worse and shouldn't be listened to. Why? Because if everyone gave up on morality we wouldn't have a stable society, and a stable society is how we as a race function best
"Hate the artist love the art" as they say. What you did in the past was quite messed up, and straight up evil. On the other hand what you're doing now seems to be an honest attempt at betterment. I think it's a commonly shared sentiment among the entire community when I say I'll still look forward to your next works of art, we don't know you personally, we don't have any rights or the needed personal experience to judge in either direction.
Wisdom and honor is not in not making any mistakes, but taking resposibility - owning them, paying the price, whatever it is, and learning how to not make them again. You are on a right way, though, considering first PSA, you still have to accomplish the last part. I can only wish you luck and strength to go through it and become a better person. Seeing this world decending into a madness of cancel culture - i'm glad to see there are still sane people on the internet, that are capable to at least try to solve problems instead of just screaming, crying and throwing tantrums.
@@Blackwing2345635 it sounds weird but the very small niche community of warhammer metal is kinda the best place (or least bad) for something like this to happen. in the 40k universe we know that everyone has their personal issues which they struggle with, and metalheads are really nice people in my experience
Human existence is often complicated Those of you who never had to fight their own brain gone rogue cant know whats it like when your thoughts are not your own Im not saying stringstorm is beyond reproach and this penance is a good start, its just that in his self-lashing and obvious deep guilt, I see something I can understand. I feel for both of you. May all beings cease actions causing suffering.
This is the best thing you could've done. As the person said, 'forgiveness is not given when a person does one right thing.' But you've done more than what most people have done in this situation, which is great! You have started your road to forgiveness, with the person, and the community. But, as you well know, we'll never forget. (And don't take that as a bad thing.)
thanks for the transparency, again I desperately hope you continue to make music, for you and your fans both, farewell. oh and for your sake, don't let your guilt crush you, that would only make things worse.
your're music has touched more then anything other, i understand the fact that you shouldn't idolize people you find on the internet but Stringstorm you're commitment to your music and your love for Warhammer will always be inspirational to me and i couldn't say i forgive you for you're action i will say from human to human the way you went about explaining you're actions is very admirable and should be studied for future content creators to understand for the most appropriate response to these grim dark action but with that saying this shouldn't stop you form growing as a person and you should genuinely keep approaching your hobby's as you please with you're music and in time you feel relieved from you're actions, evens if it will be apart of you forever, you're still human and deserve to keep living and make right of you're action but staying true to yourself, you have a long future ahead of you but know you still are cared about my brother, for in death does duty end
His community post mentions he's got a management team so there's definitely still more people working with him. He's in hiatus right now so we'll probably see him either in December or January.
What am I supposed to do. What you did was screwed up and perverted but you seem genuinely sorry I love your content and I want to see more in the end it’s not up to me I hope you post soon
Good on both of you for being mature and professional about this, as well as asking for and giving permission to keep us in the know about the situation. I wouldn't blame the other party in the slightest for wanting to keep this all private. Just remember this is only the first step on the road to redemption.
I'd say the strongest thing you can do beyond what you've done is to actually speak out against the issue itself. The way it turns up in the minds of those that perpetuate it, one way or another. Nobody thinks of themselves as 'one of THOSE people'.
Okay I will not stay stuff like I'm proud of you or anything but this is quite a good start becoming at least a decent person. I don't believe that you are irredeemable, and I will be here during the difficult work that you now must face, and and I will listen to the music, should you put out any. Like many others, I also support the idea of getting professional help. Knowing that you might hurt others is a terrible feeling, but it mustn't make you too scared to be better. The status quo is broken, you are no longer conpletely locked into the guilt, but it will take a lot to (maybe almost) completely getting rid of it. Again, I don't want to make it sound too good but your character redemption arc is starting now. Wishing bith the victim and you the best, you *CAN* become a better person. PS.: don't think of yourself as too evil of a person, because that might make you act in character and that doesn't help much now does it. PS2.: Writing lomg essays bc you might read it after videos like this. If you do, I commend the remarkably open mindset
I’m wasn’t aware there was a situation in the first place. I’m combing through previous community updates(community tab) and I’m getting nothing so far. Same with videos. What did I miss?
StringStorm,if you see this then know that I will support you through hell and high water,what you did was horrid but you came clean about it all,you have a dark past but you trying to to seek forgiveness and trust cleans it up not by a lot but slightly,though even slightly is good,like I said before,hell or high water I shall remain a supporter for this channel,seek professional help but do not corrupt this second chance,I await to see the new and improved StringStorm make the best bangers that I’ve ever heard,I await your return and your redemption
A reply to the last update as well as this one: This is, or at least is close to, the best one can do. If you have learned a lesson from this infection, if absolution is to be found, it is not in being guided it is in guiding. Make your pain of use to others who would fall from their path in similar ways. One can do this online. Better to speak to those around you with such needs, those you can see and hear and who know you in ways an internet community cannot.That would all be my suggestion, but outside other knowledge, in an era where most avoid responsibility this "least you can do" is actually commendable. We can wish for a world where it would be the base reaction where warranted. However, in terms of your harshness with yourself, replace wallowing with discipline and flaggelation with a fire to do more for the brothers and sisters around you. You waste your pain if you only make a bed of it. This is a deep cut, the scar will not fade, but do not lament it so much as cherish the reminder. These would be my suggestions and if it sounds preachy, I trust you'll forgive that my work as a chaplain is more an avocation than a vocation. I wish you well, have faith, carry fire.
Apologies for asking but I tried looking around for more information about this situation but I only managed to find the two videos about this topic. Can someone please explain what happened and what the allegations is?
Great steps, if youre still looking to make 'amends' I truly believe the best thing you can do is to go get therapy, im not saying that to be cruel or callous. Therapy is a wonderful experience and it sounds like you would really benefit. I think making tangible physical steps like that are the best way to prove your apologies are more than just words
Our psyche is both our greatest boon and our greatest weakness. I appreciate the fact that were not trying to hide your guilt. That being said, I sugggest that you get yourself sorted ASAP. Nobody is beyond redemption, if they accept that the path towards redemption might be extremely painful.
I cannot say this is going to be a source of admiration because there is no room for that given the things that have been done. But this is at least deserving of respect. In this age of extreme emotions that seem to want anyone who commits a wrongs head on a plate this is as close as can be come to resolving such a situation in a reasonable way. No running, no defending the indefensible, he knows this might very well ruin his life and is fully accepting of the fact. Which is the most we expect of literally any one. He committed to closure for the victim before himself and that is respectable.
“A good act does not wash out the bad, nor a bad act the good. Each should have its own reward.", a wrongful deed made in the past don't erase everything you've done or everything you'll do in the future. Condemning, exposing, cancelling... why destroy and salting the earth? Let it something grow out of this, and let yourself be a better man.
I do think this was a good apology, but none of this 'I will be a horrible person forever' crap. People very much have control over what they will be, if you keep up on this path (And consider getting professional help), you won't be that. That type of mentality however, will keep you as that. We are the sum of our actions. While awful things are a part of that sum, we can at least add lots of good to the sum too, and try to payback our dues for the parts we screwed up.
Ok I’ve seen both videos but what exactly did he do? Like I know its related to SA but that’s about all I know, and I would like a bit more info before I decide on wether to keep supporting him or not
I believe in redemption. I'd like to emphasize and summarize one thing said in the screenshots, " Forgiveness isn't earned by doing the right thing once, but by continuing to do the right thing over and over again. What you did was unforgivable, not by a long shot. But you are taking the right steps to forgiveness, that I applaud. I thank the person in the screenshot for being understanding, you have every right to be angry, but you acknowledged that SS was at least owning up to it and trying to make amends, I admire your toughness, and I wish the best life and the greatest opportunities waiting for you in the future.
You have talked to the person you have hurt. Now you must,always, try to do better. Get therapy so you can come to understand where your behaviors stem from and develop skills and strategies to help deal with them. You're already better than my abuser was/is by being upfront and honest about what happened. Many of us are busted, broken, hurt people. And it is Hurt People who often hurt people. If you are sincere, make that effort. If you're not, you need to leave. I'm rooting for you. None of us are perfect. We grow, and we change. I hope you change for the better. ((edited))
Not forgiveness, which was explicitly stated as not given, but they are not actively holding their acts against them any longer, which is as close as one could hope to get given the circumstances
Well I hardly comment on things much but and I am sure you won't likely see this but I will say it's nice of you to own up to what you've done and felt guilty you are actually a lot better than most people who would condem you I am sure considering EVERYONE in their life has hurt someone or another and feels regret (if not you'd be a terrible person) I myself have hurt people that are close to me and I've felt bad and still feel bad for some things, and while things could never go back to being the same learning from the mistakes we've made and staying conscious of them is good to do. Overall I wish you luck on bettering yourself as that is a lifelong journey because well we're rather human and s**t happens.
A humble suggestion: read up on the life of St. Moses the Black. We do not have to be who we were yesterday or who we are today. Forgiveness ideally should be given to people who sincerely strive to change, though it is not for us to determine who must forgive us our transgressions. Edit: seeking professional help is a very very good idea, as many here have expressed.
Cmon man. Its been almost 6 months. I don't care about your past, please come back, an make vids. Or at the minimum drop a announcement that this channel is dead if your done w/ yt
I don't think he's gonna be doing much for the rest of 2023. Most likely he'll return in mid-2024. Also the people who sings songs with him more than likely broke ties, so he'll have to find new singers.
Many people get hung up on their past mistakes and dwell on them. Do what you feel is right and remember to move on once you've done what you can. People I've met personally (so possibly not you or those who might read this) don't understand that life is about moving forward and improving yourself instead of living some dream of the past.
As many other people in the comments have stated please seek professional help String storm its not my place to Judge what you've done you've made your decision to make up for it. But keep in mind you need to get professional help to continue making up for it. im going to stayed subscribed for now i enjoy your 40k music and i hope we can all move on from this.
You’ve done something disgusting, and I can’t lie and say I don’t think less of you, there’s no fixing this, but you’ve owned it, you’ve confessed and offered your sincerest apologies. It’s all you can do, theres no need for me to shame you something, nothing will compare to the shame you will live with from today onwards, never forget that shame.
God bless you @StringStorm for being open. I hope you find this. I just found out about everything today. I know I can't relate with you or the victim but I can at least be there for you. I've been listening since Rylanor's Last Stand came out and I don't plan to leave you. I know this might not mean much but here goes nothing. We've all have done things we aren't proud of but you've been given a good life. That means you need to get up, learn from it, and let go of the pain. It's not healthy to hold onto this pain and guilt. I know you'll have to live with what you've done but you need to forgive yourself which is gonna be the hardest thing to do. Forgiveness isn't something earned or deserved but something given. God knows we don't deserve it and we certainly can't earn it and yet God gives the choice to accept his forgiveness. I agree with others about professional help. Not just for finding the problem but for your mental health. Also go to your friends IRL, they'll help you through this. They'll keep you accountable while supporting you. Now I could keep going on how you need to change but honestly I think I've ranted enough and I apologize for that. I hope this helps somehow. Your doing good String. I'd say I'm proud of you. I wish you the best and want you to know that I'll be praying for you. We're with you all the way String. You've got this.
Probably to avoid opportunistic people. Say, would you preffer to shoot your own hand, or let someone else do it for you? Let's say he kept these things private. Now, somehow, one of those drama youtubers discover it. Blows it out of proportion, and start adding things that are not factual to it. By that point, anything he says will be completally ignored. There won't be anyone willing to hear him anymore.
This is my question aswell. If it turns out that he was 20 or younger when it happened in 2015 it's a nothing burger, even though it still is cringeworthy.
hey. i'm here from the hunter: the parenting fan community. if you are afraid of community interaction because you're afraid you will do this again, admitting this is taking accountability and that's a good thing, but you are not taking full responsibility for your behavior. you can choose not to send messages to minors or even reply to them when they want to talk to you. on the internet, you cannot always choose who engages with you, but you can always choose to end the engagement by muting or blocking them. YOU CAN ALWAYS CHOOSE. every moment, you must make a conscious decision to be harmless. if this is a significant struggle for you, you need more mental health help than your victim's forgiveness can provide. your victim seems to be blaming themselves still for what happened, calling themselves a "dumb kid" who should have known to protect themselves online. this colors their apology significantly. you need to make it clear (if not to them, then to the community at large) that minor victims are NOT AT FAULT for adults abusing them. your actions were not their fault. i was groomed online by a guy almost twice my age as a teenager. if he came to me now in my 30s, apologized completely, did not blame me or external factors out of his control, and showed that he has changed himself, i think i would forgive him. but we could never be friends and he would not receive any further chances from me. his interactions with me clouded how i thought i should interact with men and affected my relationship expectations. i can't delete that from my past, and neither can he. you seem to know you are potentially a harmful person. please see a professional about it. you may not be able to change your thoughts, but you can change your actions.
You know, im usually not one to easily forgive wirh stuff like this. But this whole situation feels like a needle in a haystack. You owned up to your past sins, minimized nothing, offered to make things right for the victim on their terms, and now seeking professional help to better yourself. It is not my place to forgive. And frankly, my view of you has been tainted, possibly permanently. That being said, unlike in maaaany other cases similar to this one, im actually cautiously optimistic that maybe you will truly be able to make amends and become a better person. Some people will never forgive, and i don't blame them for doing so. But given your proactive approach to the situation, i think you can still earn a second chance.
Don't really care about the drama, here just for the music. And speaking of music, most of your songs are collaborations with other creators, so should I start "safekeeping" vids in case the others involved no longer wish to be associated with you and want to have songs featuring them taken down? There are a couple pieces I really don't want to lose for good.
I will admit, I did not know or hear about anything regarding this situation until I saw the previous video just a few minutes ago. While my first learning of what happened did come from you owning up to your transgressions is admirable, I will not let it colour my opinion unjustly. I have not read the screenshots from the previous video description as I could gather context from other commenters and with that in mind I think I'd rather not see the screenshots right now. I am not an armchair psychologist or therapist, nor am I a lawyer or interventionist. I will not just say "get professional help" because that would just be repeating what others in this comment section and the previous have already suggested. All I can give is my own opinion, which is that I am unsure if I can, in good conscience, be an active fan of yours for now. I am not subscribed, but I will still every now and again come back to see how this channel is going and to read comments. If and when I can tell that things have gotten better and the community as a whole has moved on, I believe only then can I do the same. I genuinely hope that you can become a better person, the victim can heal, and that everything can be set right again. Until such a time, I will not be an active fan or supporter. For now, good on you for at least being honest about what you have done and said.
My opinion on the subject might be in the minority and this might sound harsh but... your private life should remain private. I am here to consume your content not your issues. None of this is our business to know. This is horrendously private info that should really be kept between you, the wronged party and anyone directly involved.
Though his actions are unforgivable and horrendous, there is always you could, in some ways, redeem yourself. Such as you have, have remorse for your actions and do not denie them in ways that demine the victim in ways that relives past trauma and hurt them even further. Secondly, do not distance yourself from those you have hurt. Try and rebuild things even though they will never be like what they once were. If you do these things, you will get , though small, bit of redemption from your sins.
I am happy you admitted to your guilt and are striving to do better. While i in no way forgive you or etc i do want you to do better. Good luck on your journey i hope you mean what you say about doing better
we all step someone over the toes and do things we see later on was bad ... owning up to youself and others about it is a good start on better youself ... i Wish you luck with Betting youself..
I'll be that guy: As someone who has worked with the and been falsely accused myself. The level of emphasis that the victim places on the confession as opposed to the crime feels suspect to me. On top of that the language used appears coached on both ends of the conversation. I'm going to wait a few months at least before I make any judgements myself for now at least I will say that I don't fully trust this situation.
yeah i also feel this is a bit sus, i saw the screenshots and something just... felt a tad strange about it. ive literally never seen something that seemed this open and shut, even the simple bits of drama, and after the last decade im not sure i believe in things going that smoothly and clearly. some part of me kinda feels like this is a case of "no such thing as bad publicity" in motion. and im not saying i refuse to believe all this happened, but like if this wasnt basically coming from stringstorm i'd be wondering if it was a smear campaign or some.... photoshop/ai fuckery, you know? technology is moving fast lately. i mean i still am wondering but most of my theories sound like conspiracy bullshit even to me so i wont voice them. regardless, time has a way of revealing details, we'll see how this goes.
you can either leg it and try and disappear from the internet, or sort yourself out and carry on either is probably a valid response but the sorting yourself out and carrying on is probably the harder one since you’d more likely have people bringing it up again - would argue the harder option is better but your life an all tha
Comparing this to other times a web user was caught doing s*** like this, this is already a good start. But good starts need good endings to be looked back on as genuine. You'd be lucky if you got 3 chances, most people get 2 & you can't reset that because you can't restart life.
