@Eventide I am the turbo Quinton schizo so I’m going to derail just a bit to explain.
The first cancellation attempt was Sarah and Lindsay. That’s the one that everyone knows about and it started because Sarah shared a DM she had received saying “I figure we don’t like each other anymore, so I’m just going to unfollow”. Sarah then says that the YouTuber that send her that had mentioned in his videos when she wasn’t replying to his messages (which Quinton had done). Quinton asks for pick me ups, Sarah subtweets. Lindsay then invited herself to add 6 DMs she had received from the same guy and circunstancial evidence (plus Q hiding like a bitch) served to prove it was him.
Lindsay’s DMs are the ones that do feel like just wanting to have lunch. Q is from Kentucky and he messaged her when he was in California for a ‘Disneyland is my happy place’ holiday (he had a pass because he wanted to move to Cali). Sarah’s one message is more cryptic. They were ok with just shaming him indirectly.
The second cancellation was by a small YouTuber called Flowergothic about 2 years ago. She had been an editor for Q (in fact she has this thing called work ethic that allowed her to get Q to release videos on a respectable schedule) and had aired her grievances for two years before people started paying attention to her. It was Lady Emily (Sarah Z’s token trans friend) and Dan Olson (Lindsay’s token bald friend) that decided to champion Flowergothic in order to finish off Quinton. Q would then put Flowergothic as a jilted potential love interest. This is the cancellation you are thinking of that mirrors Turkey Tom’s because Tom literally was here cackling about the Sarah/Lindsay affair.
Tom actually helped in making people believe Q’s account (Tom spent about five years a logging him because they used to be friends). Flowergothic had to reveal her Discord chat logs with Quinton to prove her side of the story but by that time, judgement had been cast.
While Flowergothic did try to start a relationship with Quinton, she was pursuing someone else more seriously and much like how Tom couldn’t prove he wasn’t into age-play all along, Quinton couldn’t disprove he was a shitty boss to her which was the crux of the issue. Don’t get me wrong, Flowergothic largely suffered because of her own work ethic (Q doesn’t care if his videos are done in a timely manner or particularly well edited) and fixation on Q, but she was still underpaid for the work she did and he used her as a trauma dumpster.
Q walked from this claiming to have developed trust issues and his fans somehow twisted this into him being sexually harassed (Q lives in Kentucky and Flowergothic in Texas, they never met irl). Q never bothered to set the record straight because some people accused him of sexual harassment too (he actually met irl with both Sarah and Lindsay and that’s why he probably thought they were friends).
