oh god i heard this in my head, complete with his terrible laugh after
Craig Skitsmas (Former Boss of Screwattack and Jared's former boss) made a Tweet about this

Public shaming from us, sure, but Heidi is fully in the right for dragging her immediately.
well you can want someone to be shamed and not want them to be hated. especially if the perceived problem is a lack of remorse.
nah, throw him under the bus, if it was just cheating it would be one thing, but the rest is inexcusable
Because her soon-to-be-former-husband with over a million YouTube subs and almost 200k Twitter followers put out a statement without her consent basically saying "We're getting a divorce, but let's not talk about it any further out of really true genuine concern for my partner's well being and mental state. Really. Let's not talk about it. Also anything you hear about this is probably fake. okay who likes video games!!". I think any reasonable person would say "okay, hold the fuck up" and correct the record if this shit happened to them. He basically tried to publicly silence her, which is ironic, as had he not done this shit Heidi might not have felt like she needed to say anything at all and actually keep it between themselves. Jared was the one who went public with it, she just filled in the massive blanks.
FYI: Not defending Jon's 2017 statements - just explaining the facts.
JonTron is/was much bigger than Jared - 3x the subscribers. Jon's political opinions are well, political opinions. That means there's a silent majority that is neutral or doesn't care, and a loud minority that "supported" him. Moreover, Jon took a long hiatus even after posting Flex Tape video which is now his most popular video ever, I think. At some point he also publicly apologized and stopped making any political or social statements.
Jon is back to posting regularly and getting >2m views per video. Again, not defending him (I don't watch his stuff), but he was able to somehow handle it. Jon also doesn't make game videos any more and has proven that he doesn't need to.
ProJared engaged in embarrassing behavior that could label him as a sex offender, let alone his infidelity. He's not coming back from his. He can't do anything other than gaming videos and let's plays and those two avenues are over.
While I liked his content before this, I always knew a good person couldnt like Sticker Star and hate MG Rising.
What is contradictory?
Wanting to speak up for herself and feeling better when doing it doesn't mean she did it to bring hatred towards him. All she did was call him out on his bullshit and that dumbass divorce statement he made to make himself look good. You don't let that type of mental and emotional manipulation go in silence.
speaking about difficult subjects publicly can be very good therapy, and because i think she has a right to set the record straight from her side, especially when her ex husband is a fairly recognizable video and social media celebrity of sorts.
You can imagine the "ack ack ack" that follows, you can even hear it!
Spooky.
Nothing against Heidi's right to state the facts, I'm talking about words like "bitch" or "skunk" or something else being thrown around on Twitter and other places
Jontron's video production rate has never been that high. I really can't see how anyone can claim that he was meaningfully impacted by his twitter statements. His views are just as steady as ever. The youtube community doesn't give a shit.
ProJared will probably lose some endorsement deals and such and youtube viewers will leave snarky comments on his videos for a while (like DrDisrespect copped after his cheating scandal), but he'll be back making videos like nothing ever happened in a few months.
I don't know, man, being a nonce is a pretty big crime. If it's true, I don't think you can make videos in prison.
Don't wish to derail this whole debacle, but I am not the only one who sees Peter from hey arnold with this dude?
I had no idea about this guy or how he looked and man I can't help unsee this. Frightening stuff.

If the underage girl thing is even remotely true he's cooked
As it is he's lost quite a few youtube subscribers today alone.
His reputation is probably taking a permanent hit because unlike DrDisrespect who owned what he did, this guy is trying to weasel his way out of any responsibility whatsoever. Doc was contrite and genuine in that moment. This guy sounds like he's trying to sell me a shady timeshare someplace.

I've been following SSFF's Derek since he won his Out Nerd the Nerd contest on Gametrailers that spawned his Happy Video Game Nerd channel and he's never done anything I'd consider bad. And if you want any more proof watch his latest video "Final Fight: how the west was worse" where he addresses the Poison debacle as tactfully as you could've hoped.

You forgot to mention that Jared blocked Heidi on Twitter just before putting out his statement so she couldn't see it at all until others screen capped it for her.

I think we can talk about how disgusting Jared's actions are without going to "he looks like a creep". Surprise: most creeps don't look like creeps! Thats how they can get away with it.
Kotaku article
I think a good take away here is nobody should idolize any of these content creators. They can be just as scummy as any other person.
Watch videos and be entertained by them but don't develop any type of emotional connection to them.

I don't really pay attention to streamers and Youtubers so this is my first time learning about these folks. I feel like this saga is simultaneously the best and worst introduction I could have gotten.
This one does, though
You know, i feel so dumb right now. I know I have seen his face before but I never realized that he was the Happy Console Gamer. His face was familiar from somewhere, lol.
I mean yeah it's probably for the best. The internet is usually pretty awful with stuff like this after all
Well, that worked for me. I did some things in the past that I'm not proud
and after been exposed online I went to therapy and let's just say that today I don't blame anyone who hated me until 2015.
Sometimes we need a slap in the face to see how we can be assholes
She also shouldn't have replied to Jared's statement like she wasn't involved at all.
This is something I strongly feel children should be taught before they start web browsing. Over the course of our history people have always been star struck, idolized famous people, but never before has it been so easy for just anybody to have a face online. To many people think they know the folks behind these faces. I've seen a lot of kids, and other people who should know better, go to bat for people like Logan Paul. It's a frightening thing to see this sort of worship when they believe the person they've been watching is their friend. I'm actually thankful it seems everyone's against projared. What he's done is disgusting

His name was Stinky Peterson
I liked some of his SNES-era JRPG videos (didn't follow the channel though), it seems like every popular YouTuber content producer has skeletons in their closet now.
That information that came out is pretty damning, not shocked that the viewership numbers are going down quite a bit today.

It might seem like an appropriate comparison but Stinky was actually a good person.
Yeah, she said she was gonna step out of social media for a while.
Still wondering why did she even send that publicly instead of privately.
I guess johnny has gotten a lot of attention since the ProJared news broke.
Jirard had some unfortunate circumstances where his former business partner ordered him to take down all of the reviews they had produced together before their split. Was this one of them?
Not the Happy Console Gamer, lol. I said Happy Video Game Nerd. He started as an offshoot of the AVGN (spawned by an AVGN-sponsored contest on Gametrailers that Derek won) and this format lasted for years to moderate success on YouTube. A few years later he retired the HVGN persona, moved from Alaska to Washington state, and renamed his channel Stop Skeletons From Fighting and since then he kept growing with better produced content and producing it way more consistently.
Happy Console Gamer is another dude. I like him but his videos are nowhere as well produced. They basically consist of him sitting in front of his game Collection and ranting/reviewing/reminiscing about for 10 minutes or so. SSFF puts way more effort.
Yes. This was one of the biggest, if not THE biggest, losses.
Ugh disgusting, and it seems like it has a lot of time in the brewing. I wish I had known before.
