I’ve enjoyed some of his content, really unfortunate this happened.
Like many, he was my gateway into internet let's play. I legitimately improved my english thanks to him during middle school. I haven't been a fan in a while, but this is still disheartening.Fucking hell man, this dude was my whole damn childhood what the fuck.
You can also look at TRG, where Jon and sometimes Tim, have to clearly, and sometimes angrily, tell Emily to knock it off.Definitely creepy behavior and he needs to apologize to both this woman and his (maybe ex?) girlfriend.
At the same time, keep in mind that he is on the spectrum, and based on these messages and the 20 something messages with no reply, he very clearly can't read social cues and he very likely took her going along with his messages in the beginning as acceptance.
It's not an excuse for his behavior, just context as to what his mindset most likely was behind these messages.
Where did you hear this?Huh, it just got pointed out to me that Chugga does not use his full screen name outside of his YouTube and site formerly known as Twitter handles.
I wouldn't be surprised if this was an impersonator.
that would take alot of digging to determine if it's a fake or not.Huh, it just got pointed out to me that Chugga does not use his full screen name outside of his YouTube and site formerly known as Twitter handles.

The story seems to be that this was connected with initial outreach for his Pokemon BW playthrough, so the story and timing at least checkout, but I’m also willing to give Lady Emily enough credit that she wasn’t just gaslit or making things up.Huh, it just got pointed out to me that Chugga does not use his full screen name outside of his YouTube and site formerly known as Twitter handles.

I did get it off the site formerly known as Twitter, but it then reminded me that Chugga used the shortened version of his handle for his Splatoon multiplayer playthroughs, which would mean his uses that handle for his accounts there.Where did you hear this?
Does Chugga spell his full username with two As like in these pictures? I just noticed that.Huh, it just got pointed out to me that Chugga does not use his full screen name outside of his YouTube and site formerly known as Twitter handles.

Thanks for the clarification, we'll see how things evolve. I'm not very optimistic though.I did get it off the site formerly known as Twitter, but it then reminded me that Chugga used the shortened version of his handle for his Splatoon multiplayer playthroughs, which would mean his uses that handle for his accounts there.
I don't actually know if it's the same for Discord.
he does.Does Chugga spell his full username with two As like in these pictures? I just noticed that.
Ah okay, because the title of the thread and Lady Emily's tweet only spells it with one A, so I was confused.he does.
unless he usually goes by simply "Chugga" as his screenname on things like this, this is how he spells his username out.
yeah, there not really any solid proof that cant be framed but she seems reasonable so i'll trust her for now.The story seems to be that this was connected with initial outreach for his Pokemon BW playthrough, so the story and timing at least checkout, but I’m also willing to give Lady Emily enough credit that she wasn’t just gaslit or making things up.
well either way, unfortunately we need to hear what Emile has to say about this and how he responds and so on.Ah okay, because the title of the thread and Lady Emily's tweet only spells it with one A, so I was confused.
I’ll admit I’m not on the spectrum but I find it hard to believe that he wouldn’t have picked up on the fact she wasn’t interested in talking to him. I’m more inclined to believe he was aware and just didn’t care that much.Definitely creepy behavior and he needs to apologize to both this woman and his (maybe ex?) girlfriend.

Fair enough, I apologise.we wouldn't notice. 100%.
depends of course where on the spectrum but i will say im really not a fan of typicals coming out of the woodworks for stuff "well you couldn't miss something that obvious"
esp when it can take most of our youth and adulthood just to reach understanding of basic social cues even with extensive research and training
and also that's just demeaning to hear. like telling a cripple "what, you still can't walk? it's so easy"
like just don't do that, thanks.
Ok cool, what's the mindset behind sending some shoes as a gift so you can try and pressure them for feet pics?Definitely creepy behavior and he needs to apologize to both this woman and his (maybe ex?) girlfriend.

Nah, I call bullshit. I’m autistic and I would understand to not keep pestering someone who isn’t responding. We don’t get to use this to deflect from our inappropriate behavior.we wouldn't notice. 100%.

It’s called a spectrum for a reason. Your experience doesn’t define everyone’s, nor does the person you’re responding to. Hell, neither do my own experiences on the spectrum.Nah, I call bullshit.

It's called a spectrum for a reason, your autism isn't the same as someone else's. You may be able to understand social cues, but someone else may not. Autism isn't a one size fits all situation.Nah, I call bullshit. I’m autistic and I would understand to not keep pestering someone who isn’t responding.

To be fair, based on the messages I didn't get the vibe that he was trying to pressure her into anything. He asked for her PO box (which she provided), He asked for her shoe size (which she provided), and he asked a single time if he'd be able to see her in them. Maybe in his mind he was up to some devious garbage, but from the messages provided there's no sense of "pressure". Like I said, he most likely took her initial responses as acceptance, and went from there thinking that she'd be into all of it, when that wasn't the case.Gross. I feel so bad for Emily that she had to go through this.

It’s neither a deflection nor an excuse, but it’s also not something that should be dismissed out of pocket.
Adults with neurodivergence and other similar issues are responsible for their own behavior. You’re not going to convince me otherwise.It's called a spectrum for a reason, your autism isn't the same as someone else's. You may be able to understand social cues, but someone else may not.

It should also be noted that Chugga has let his fetishes run rampant at TRG events, but if someone firmly tells him no, Chugga will stop.It's called a spectrum for a reason, your autism isn't the same as someone else's.

I can't believe this is a real post on this website, holy crap LOL.Adults with neurodivergence and other similar issues are responsible for their own behavior. You’re not going to convince me otherwise.
And I never said otherwise. But dismissing a potential root of the issue entirely simply because your experience on the spectrum wasn’t the same is not ok.Adults with neurodivergence and other similar issues are responsible for their own behavior. You’re not going to convince me otherwise.
