hi, some updates;

I closed my YouTube Memberships, shut down my merch store, and left Rogue. However, my Ko-Fi (ko-fi.com/heyeppy) is there in case you wanna be extra, but following me is good enough. 💛 Cool stuff coming your way, very exciting stuff

Predators deserve to be exposed and called out. But this video is misleading and irresponsible. Octo admitted it was rushed, the victims were uncensored, and it was hyped up before release. My words were misquoted and context omitted from my section, making the video more disingenuous.

A YouTube video titled "The Hidden Dangers of the Splatoon Community," featuring Splatoon YouTubers such as "Viantastic," "Caitlin Koi," and "Eppy" in the thumbnail.

The uploader of the video, Octoling Gamer, responded to a comment about Caitlin Koi and stated that more information would've been added if it weren't for vacation, hence the video was rushed.

YouTube community posts made by Octoling Gamer teasing the release of the exposé, one of them with an image made with Source Filmmaker (SFM). And the other post is an estimated release of the video.

Two different screenshots put together into one, with words added to respond to what's being stated in the video and to provide context behind some of the things discussed.

I'll be sharing a full response to what’s been said about me in the video and on other platforms. A lot has happened behind the scenes, and people deserve the full context, including how this narrative was built. Everything you need to know will be out when it's ready.

A screenshot based on one of Octo's Instagram posts directed at Eppy, with yellow text added as a response to each section of the paragraph written on the right side.

Another screenshot from Octo's callout post, with the yellow text added as a response. The white text above may or may not be AI-generated, the biggest indicator being the hyphens. Eppy was called out for treating Octo's AI usage in thumbnails more seriously than Jackpot being exposed, when those events hadn't happened at the time.

Two violent images involving Splatoon characters. The first image depicts Octo's character attacking Eppy (who's cut up and bleeding) with a knife. The other image depicts Octo's character approaching another person with a knife in a threatening manner. The captions state that Eppy has defended predators (which is false), and the other individual who said that exposing predators is clout chasing (never said ever).

This can be seen as a death threat.

Images taken from Octo's Instagram stories complaining about how Eppy has deleted a "scam post" and a "call out" post from social media. The response states that Eppy's Twitter was wiped back in November 2024, and moved to Bluesky, due to AI concerns six months prior to him being called out by Octo.

I’ll still reply here and there, but I’m staying quiet on my own projects and plans for now. I’ll share the reasons when the time is right, and I truly appreciate everyone who’s reached out.

I will only post about content moving forward, as I no longer feel comfortable expressing myself freely online.

@heyeppy.bsky.social didn't see you post this here but i genuinely think this is a great idea.

Creators! If you can, transitioning from YouTube Memberships to Ko-Fi or Patreon subscriptions could help show YouTube we do NOT approve of the ai shit that's going on.
