Hey uh, looks like Tim has an update about the situation with Emile via reddit
(you guys can look further into what else Tim's been saying as there is more, and that he stated there was some bad wording in the third comment I listed)
Apparently Emile hasn't been in his house (which Tim lives in) for the past two days now, and he's apparently has no access to own phone.
Based on the wording, It seems like the initial situation with Emily and others (prior to the new allegation he got, do note.) seemingly overwhelmed him and that Emile may have likely attempted suicide (I guess from severe remorse?) and thus is now in a psychiatric ward.
From what I can interpret or try to interpret, Emile is thinking the same and it looks like this detail was intentionally left out, mainly out of fear that people will start the usual witchhunting (on twitter) and start harassing and flaming the victims for pushing him to attempt suicide. (and like I said, do note that this is all before the new allegations came out, although I assume Emile likely knows now.)Reading more into the comments (and personal experience), if he has his phone and can talk to people, it's far more likely to be a voluntary psychiatric hold. Which isn't great either but at least he recognized to call for help.
In either case, while I do hope he recovers and continues to seek help, I am more worried about the victims and hope they aren't harassed for this (which, given the track record, is probably a vain hope).
This whole situation is just a massive mess. First you have the first allegations with Emily with people starting to take sides, Emile’s apology which people initially respected until Masae came out and just nuked all of that + those other allegations, then grooming allegations from way back, and now an apparent suicide attempt from Emile where he’s now locked himself up into psychiatric ward. (which based on the timeline was done sometime after his shit apology and before his new allegations but he likely knows anyways)Damn, this situation keeps getting worse :/
This is so sad for everyone involved, and it genuinely makes me sad
Yeah, it's really saddening. It kept getting worse and worse as more layers were peeled off.This whole situation is just a massive mess.

FeelsBad for any of his last remaining friends which they have to witness all of this, especially Tim and Jon. Getting slammed with those initial allegations was one thing, now it’s gotten worse for them with those new allegations and Emile’s supposed suicide attempt back to back.
nah, you know how it’ll result. It’ll just be a massive flame war on twitter like if it was a gladiator fight in Rome’s colosseum. Worst of the worst like the cesspool it is.Yeah, it's really saddening. It kept getting worse and worse as more layers were peeled off.
On the bright side, at least Nintendo CapriSun is stable and can help himself and Emile.
But more importantly, I hope the fanbase behaves and don't decide to pester and molest the victims.
yeah Im the same. But there’s really no way he can come back after that. Probably for the better, for the victims and himself. I still wish for him to grow and go do himself a favor and get intense help tho.I'm stunned, I was one of the more "give him a chance to grow" people when this started... but I can't say that in good faith anymore. I do hope he grows and learns from this, but the damage is done. Emile is so tainted it ruins all his old content for me, which especially hurts since TRG helped me get through some rough spots in life.
Ultimately this isn't about me, it's about the many victims over a decade who've had to live with the trauma of what happened to them, and I hope they can finally begin to heal.
So I'll provide some backstory on the house thing and some small info about Tim:Don't know anything about Tim beyond this thread but hopefully he finds a new (and affordable) place to live soon. I'm sure that house is filled with memories with his friend that will only serve as painful reminders and it's best not to be involved with someone moneywise in this type of situation.
So I'll provide some backstory on the house thing and some small info about Tim:
Tim (NintendoCaprisun) is one of Emile's (Chuggaaconroy) closest and longtime friends. He'll probably find a new place at some point, but the reason he's even living there is because he was in a very shit spot back in 2021 due to various physical and mental health issues and Emile decided to invite him into his place to live in where he's been living there with him since then. And he was also having financial troubles and his declining YT channel wasn't helping, so living with Emile was basically Emile's way of helping him out of a jam since there was a high probability that he could've gone homeless.
And it will likely serve as painful reminders, but unlike most of what friends Emile even has left did, Tim is intentionally choosing not to cut ties with Emile. Which if I had to speculate and interpret why, it's a combination of still wanting to see a longtime friend to at least better himself and thus wants to see through it all and returning the favor since he did help him out during a time he was in a dire situation and decided to do the same with him. It's probably/likely questionable for him to continue remaining with him, but if you want me to be frank here, it's probably a good thing that he chose to essentially watch over him and not completely cut ties. Mainly because I'm more afraid of how Emile would react and what he could potentially do if everyone he ever knew completely cuts ties with him, even if he is doing that himself anyways since he's apparently doesn't want his old friends to be associated with him because of his actions. He already tried to commit suicide already (it happened before the new allegations he got slammed with), who knows what else could happen :/
I think such horrible acts by public persons could help young people to identify similar behavior in their environment more easily.I feel like a geniunely need therapy after this since i had watched this guy since i was a young kid and saw him as a role model / even picked up a few game series that i am still event today a fan of because of him
Also loved how organized and knowledgeable he was about games
i even liked his modern, essay style review of paper mario.
And now all of that is tainted, because hes a weird creepy pedo. Its like a part of my brain that houses innocent childhood memories went completely dark
It sucks to know kids these days are developing para social relationships at an even higher rate, this shit can fuck you up
young people these days eat up content from right wing streamers who barf out “edgy” and harmful takes ad nauseum. I’m sorry to say but your take here is sunshine and rainbows, not realityI think such horrible acts by public persons could help young people to identify similar behavior in their environment more easily.
I mean is anyone really going to post content from them now given their reputation? It seems like they're permanently leaving the internet so I wouldn't have thought there'd be need to worry about people sharing their stuff from now on.At the very least, I think it goes without saying that Chugga's content shouldn't be allowed on Fami anymore. There are much, much deeper and more important issues than this, and he's probably not going to make new content for a long while if ever, but we shouldn't be welcoming what he has made here.
You'd be surprised.Mostly caught up now and wow did things get way worse really fast, jesus christ. 2000's era internet was definitely something else but it's still really jarring to look back on now.

There’s still going to be countless that’ll remain OOTL regarding Emile since most likely haven’t paid attention or kept up with recent news etc.Mostly caught up now and wow did things get way worse really fast, jesus christ. 2000's era internet was definitely something else but it's still really jarring to look back on now.

The only reason the Sticker Star videos were posted was because a lot of people here dislike SS as well, so for many of us it was cathartic. That's the only time I can see anyone here ever shared or discussed Chugga's content before this controversy happened (and his reactions to mario rpg/ttyd remakes, but I'd classify that under hating SS ). If Chugga had done the Blair or Jirard thing of going "lalala can't hear you" and continuing to pump out content, 99% of their content was let's play content, the SS analysis was a one of anger project that wasn't likely to repeat. I can't think of the last time anyone shared footage from a LP on any of the message boards I post on (gamefaqs, era, here, install base) not counting people finding clips of Emile being into feet as a result of the initial controversy.There’s still going to be countless that’ll remain OOTL regarding Emile since most likely haven’t paid attention or kept up with recent news etc.
Just some further updates from the previous comments Tim made that were posted here, and they'll probably be the last comments from him for now. (since he keeps getting barraged by people wanting updates where the TRG subreddit has asked people to stop at this point.)
And I guess, for the sake of further responses from those closely or somewhat affiliated to Emile and TRG: Amber (the one that made a Make a Wish with TRG/Emile and was the reason for TRG's MP DS LP) made a twit thread about the situation:
(and yes, it's not like what many are thinking and saying and has caused many divided takes and backlash, which she expects/expected, some were even harassing and flaming her for the thread from what I can see. And incase why she said what she said, from what I can interpret and find, TRG and especially Emile were very important aspects of her life as they were basically her sources of comfort while she was battling cancer so it's not really easy for her to cut ties, and unlike many, she actually still wants Emile to return in the future when he's gotten a full grip of himself. It's likely shocking for many but considering the context and background, it's frankly not hard to understand. It can be seen as her still being in denial and still coping, and may probably be, but you have to understand her background for why she responded like this. She's probably one of the most affected by this considering, which I mentioned in an earlier sentence, meeting TRG and especially Emile(?) was her Make-A-Wish and is probably the most affiliated/high profile fan of TRG since well...she was the reason why one of their LPs happened.)
And furthermore:
Someone was in Jon's stream and said that Jon said he's completely aware of everything towards Emile but still isnt ready to talk about it. Can't blame him considering this was his longtime best friend we're talking about and he already has to deal with another longtime friend (Jirard aka The Completionist) having a different scandal which was already likely a massive slam to him mentally.
Unless some further allegations come up or something, this is probably going to be the last we hear about Emile and what's up for the time being.
Edit: oh wait I forgot:
] There's a possibility that SomeOrdinaryGamers may make a vid on this, and if you're wondering if that's a good thing: No It's not. His fanbase is actually toxic and he's often been labeled as a clout chaser, so he could potentially make the situation worse for literally everybody, from Emile to the victims themselves. And he has a 3.6 mill sub count which is larger than Emile and everyone in TRG combined. So if he makes a vid on the situation, expect everything to get more toxic and worse. And considering what he does when doing vids (from what I can tell), he could potentially drag TRG as the "same as him" which will definitely make shit 1000 times worse since I believe he leans more into the drama side than anything else which really isn't great. Not guaranteed but unfortunately still a possibility, and anyone else caught up in the shit will just be collateral damage.
ProtonJon has published a response.
It's worse for Jon cause he already got slammed with the Jirard scandal (the charity fraud) which was only 3-4 months ago so he was already dealing with the fallout of a longtime friend, and then not too long after he gets slammed with having to witness allegations from another longtime friend except its worse cause it was towards one of his best and closest friends for a longass time.Quick TLDR;
Additionally, the TRG channel will be left as-is and Jon is hiring the editor for TRG videos to work on other projects so he doesn't lose the work he had for that (both of these were confirmed in twitter comments rather than the response).
- TRG is on indefinite hold, likely permanent.
- Recorded but not published projects won't be published for the time being, it wouldn't be right to do it as if nothing happened. They may be published later down the line, but don't expect it any time soon.
- Jon is distancing himself professionally from Emile but is hoping he betters himself personally (same thing Tim seems to be doing).
- Colosseum is losing the TRG branding but will continue (without Emile). Tim and Jon agree that the good Colosseum does outweighs losing one person.
- Thrown Controllers will continue with Jon and Tim, but convention dates might have to be moved around a bit for the current year.
- Jon and Tim might look into starting a new channel and bringing in some of their other friends to keep the "spirit" of TRG going. This will take a few months as both need some time off from this to recover and isn't set in stone yet.
Very little of this is surprising (kinda saw a response like this from Jon coming) and I do hope both Jon and especially Tim can find their footing from all this. I can't imagine how devastating this stuff must be to learn about someone you thought you knew.
