I said I was against it ("it" being in general and specific activities and behaviors, such as whining about "extreme extreme antisemitic behavior" because of completely ordinary jokes about jews) on my youtube channel that had like 100 subscribers, and suddenly a thousand other youtube channels with silver play buttons were all screaming in desperate damage control panic, one guy started faking death threats against his own kids about it and claiming that he reported me to the FBI about it, and all of them ran with the hoax and were pushing it.
By the time anyone else bothered to look at the receipts that proved they were all lying, it would've been way too damaging to them to admit it, so they just went full blocklist about it, several of them went DFE and blocked anyone who questioned them while also running slander campaigns against anyone who took my side. This also included nick rekieta but also everyone who nick rekieta was friends with, in fact the couple of people from kiwifarms who actually seemed to notice what was really going on would keep telling me that it seemed to be a requirement to be allowed on nick's streams is that they had to say something negative about me at some point. I knew one of nick rekieta's personal friends, who knew nick BEFORE he was a streamer, that nick completely unpersoned after this because nick knew the guy was still friends with me.
Rekieta would keep streaming with his friends saying I had threatened to kill their kids or whatever, and it didn't matter how much I'd post the evidence that they lied, they had already blocked me and would never show any evidence even of their own claims, they would just make the claims and their fans would believe it, so thousands of people would be screaming at me all the time, and the ones who didn't block me would block me after I posted evidence that they were all lying. Metokur became friends with rekieta AFTER this, and was aware of this, because people who were aware of what was really happening would try to DM him to make him aware of this, with no response.
This was in 2018 and to this day most of them will either instantly block if asked about it or will change the subject. This includes every single person who was involved in comicsgate either directly or tangentially, it includes all of the big "nerd culture war" youtubers, basically anyone who streamed with ethan van sciver knew that the whole movement was fake, their politics were fake, their beliefs are fake, and they still are whether they're still currently part of comicsgate or not (iron age and rippaverse being desperate attempts to rebrand after comicsgate's mere recent public embarrassments, but they're still the same dishonest frauds with fake beliefs).
It gets worse (there are actual convicted pedophiles involved in nick's friendgroup, it's old news too) but this is just offhanded info that I'm only aware of because people who dig into this stuff told me about it years ago. Occasionally I'll still have some person I don't even know tell me that rekieta was doing blow with one youtuber or another, that he's not even close to the only real life cuckold doing wifeswapping with the other big nerd culture youtubers. I didn't even want to keep up with this kind of thing, and I was basically forced to because I was critical of comicsgate like 8 years ago and I had wanted to make my own indie comics. I have since, though, and even worked with the Kamen America guys on comics specifically because of all of this (they were always cool with me and took my side, and partially because of that they had become unpersoned too).
