Not sure where else to put this but I've been sitting on it for a little bit now, as I was told Samgladiator was working behind the scenes to bring the evidence out, and also because the evidence I have is ultimately scanty and relies on hearsay from one source. Now, I trust the source, I know he has been in the Minecraft community for a while and he's been in SMP's with creators as large as Dream, I have no reason to doubt the source and I'd be surprised if he was knowingly lying to me. Regardless, it is a single source. Anyway, here's the scoop.
Samgladiator allegedly admitted in a private call to being invited into an exclusive Discord server where several prominent YouTubers, including EthoBot, would participate in what amounts to "goon parties." These parties reportedly involved creators sexually gratifying themselves to images of minors, and in some instances, allegedly inviting those minors into the calls to witness the behavior. Additionally, apparently Aphmau, one of YouTube's most sccessful children's Minecraft creators, is aware of this group’s existence and has chosen to remain silent to protect her close associates who are involved.
Here are notes from when I first learned about this while running PVP with my source:
Met at dupertrooper birthday party
Hit it off
Invited source to a exclusive discord server
Umamusume videos were popping off atp and Samgladiator wanted to do a Minecraft version, and since the source is good at building he volunteers to help
As they're in a call talking about building, the conversation turns to EthoBot's recent exposure for being really weird and creepy and a pedophile
Samgladiator says you'd be surprised how many YouTubers are doing stuff like this, so source obviously probes deeper and Sam gets to really talking
Reveals he was invited to this YouTuber discord call where they would goon to pictures of minors, and sometimes would even invite the minors to be in the call too while they're gooning and doing these weird parties
When asked why he wouldn't go public with it, said it's because it involved this YouTuber Aphmau more than him, and he was trying to get her to come out with the info because a lot of the YouTubers involved are really close to her, but she just doesn't want to come out with the info.
Ethobot was at the parties, Aphmau is complicit in wanting to protect the people who were at the parties
Here are some screenshots of me confirming the information with the source earlier today:
Obviously I don't know if any of this is true. I'm relying 100% on hearsay here. But it would feel morally questionable to not put this information out there, so now it's out there.
