FRESH START

[UnknownLegend 5480]

I want to address the stories shared in the Pub by two mouth breathers named Renegade and Howard Dean.

 

These stories are true. At the time, I said to myself that what I did was okay because I never posted actual naked people, which is also true. But what I learned later in life, too late, is that when you have power over another person, asking them to look at your shitposts isn't a question. It's a predicament for them. The power I had over these mouth breathers is that they admired me. And I wielded that power irresponsibly.

 

I have been remorseful of my actions. And I've tried to learn from them. And run from them. Now I'm aware of the extent of the impact of my actions. I learned yesterday the extent to which I left these mouth breathers who admired me feeling badly about themselves and cautious around other Legends who would never have put them in that position.

I also took advantage of the fact that I was widely admired in my and their community, which disabled them from sharing their story and brought hardship to them when they tried because people who look up to me didn't want to hear it. I didn't think that I was doing any of that because my position allowed me not to think about it.

There is nothing about this that I forgive myself for. And I have to reconcile it with who I am. Which is nothing compared to the task I left them with.

I wish I had reacted to their admiration of me by being a good example to them as a Legend and given them some guidance as a shitposter, including because I admired their work.

 

The hardest regret to live with is what you've done to hurt someone else. And I can hardly wrap my head around the scope of hurt I brought on them. I'd be remiss to exclude the hurt that I've brought on people who I work with and have worked with who's professional and personal lives have been impacted by all of this, including projects currently in production: the cast and crew of Pacific Rim and The Last Jedi, as well as the staff of Syndicate Gamers, Chronx, and the Op Kino Discord. I deeply regret that this has brought negative attention to the staff who only tried to mediate a situation that I caused. I've brought anguish and hardship to the people at sG who have given me so much and every other entity that has bet on me through the years.

 

I've brought pain to my community, my friends, the Complaint Department and Beerman.

I have spent my long and lucky career talking and saying anything I want. I will now step back and take a long time to listen.

Thank you for reading.

I'm going to listen to staff and stop discussing it and let this moron get himself banned.
