News and Commentary

Summary

The speaker says they were “cancelled” after allegations surfaced claiming they had consensual conversations with two adult women in the community (one allegedly described as a moderator). They claim the issue was raised to the Hermitcraft community without their knowledge, and that the matter proceeded via a rapid “hearing” with a very short deadline (about 1.5 hours).

They state they did not participate because they had already contacted police and a solicitor regarding rumored allegations and potential defamation, and they were reportedly advised not to comply with Hermitcraft’s demands.

Impact and Harassment Allegations

The speaker argues that the process and subsequent public exposure ruined their life. They claim the rumors portrayed them as a predator/abuser, which they deny, and that they then received widespread harassment and threats, including death threats.

They describe worsening mental health and say they sought professional help during the period. They also claim they refrained from speaking publicly while an investigation was ongoing, and that the investigation was reportedly expanded to a second tier and involved additional people.

Criticism of “Cancel Culture”

The speaker criticizes “cancel culture,” comparing it to historical witch hunts. They argue that public opinion—especially on social platforms—can reward misinformation and selective narratives more than law, due process, or common sense. They also claim Hermitcraft’s public amplification (including via social media) contributed to their reputational damage.

They further assert that one of the “so-called victims” had previously helped cancel another influencer, using this to argue that online relationships and trust should be handled carefully.

Project Status: “Vault Hunters”

The speaker discusses the status of their project, Vault Hunters, claiming they own the rights and that any continuation or use of code requires their approval under a license (ARR).

They say they were aware of developer actions in Discord to take over the project. They allege that several developers attempted to secure full ownership of project assets and funds via a document they describe (through their solicitor) as close to extortion. The speaker says they refused to sign and that the project involved significant personal financial sacrifice.

They also claim Hermitcraft’s spread of allegations influenced at least one developer’s decision to attempt the takeover, arguing that this was motivated by the belief that the speaker’s reputation had been ruined.

Current Team and Future Plans

The speaker says that, as of now, the five developers involved are no longer representing or part of their team. They state they intend to continue developing Vault Hunters and finish the original plan.

Closing

The speaker reiterates that they believe they should be treated as innocent until proven guilty. They thank supporters—especially Patreon supporters—and say they will continue creating content on Twitch and YouTube.
