Don't trust Explode1.

Yesterday, I booted Explode1, a ex-staff member and ex-friend from the server. Here's why.

Yesterday, I DM'd Polyhex about the situation I was in with Jake (his name) and the shit that he put pretty much everyone in his friends group in. I wasn't home the entire day and I was near tears the entire day in the car, hoping nobody would see.

This gave me the courage I needed to leave Jake's toxicity. I think I'll need to explain some things for these DMs to make more sense.

I'm pretty sure everyone knows that Kai posted a call-out of Jake being a pedophile back in February, but surprisingly, he's still been on Roblox even to this day. He still has a TRIBUTE DISCORD WITH 30 MEMBERS IN IT! I stayed with him since February because I was in denial that my IDOL was a pedophile, and he manipulated me to stay. He manipulated me to be scared of people he wanted me to be scared of, angry at people he wanted me to be angry at, and emotions that shouldn't be natural for a 15 year old. I have never felt genuinely happy for the past months that I've spent with him, and I feared that people would know I was friends with him because of the situation he put himself in. I made so many bad decisions that I still regret to this day because of him, and I'm very sorry for what I've done.

He vented to me and a few others pretty often. You know, let's just vent to CHILDREN about very detailed depictions of my suffering caused by my pedophilic actions! Because that's how you're supposed to cope, right? Not through a professional therapist, no? He even admitted to being a pedophile in one of his vents to a TWELVE YEAR OLD!

He made us scared for his life, scared for his mental state, scared for his social state. He wanted to make sure he had people under his whim that would do ANYTHING to make him happy, and I was one of those people.

As for being angry? He made accusations towards his victims without any proof, and got us angry at Kai and kyomakus, saying shit like kyomakus "preying on very young children", which he had NO PROOF for. I believed it! I was in denial and he used that! Over time, I realised that these people weren't the assholes that Jake showed them out to be, and that led up to me leaving yesterday. Kyomakus didn't like that I was friends with him, and I respected that, still. I think that openness I had with other people saved me from being stuck in Jake's grasp, and I KNOW that at least 5 people are still in his cult. His Discord has dwindled from 28 people to 20 people to 12 people in the course of this, and it's all because Jake manipulated people. As for that same twelve year old, Jake even got us mad at HIM. He accused the twelve year old of sexual assault and asset stealing, which he had NO proof for. The harassment got so bad it was even to the point where the 12 year old actually thought the accusations were true. I even got in the middle of the harassment (which I still regret). Even in the future, that 12 year old became one of the devs for AF3. There was a reason that devs couldn't see the mod channel, and it was because the mods (which were basically just Jake's cult) constantly talked shit. I'm glad that I wisened up and didn't shittalk the other devs when I became a mod of AF3's discord. Aren't devs supposed to have more responsibility than moderators?

Did I say ALL because Jake manipulated people? That was a lie. He got into LOTS OF ARGUMENTS with his 'friends', causing people to leave and turn against him. People like Genstar, Sir_Rover, Chris, Teuton and Kami, got kicked or left the group because Jake is unable to take any form of criticism. This is the scenario, as far as I remember. All five users that I've said were kicked or left on the exact same day. Rover wasn't the best person back then and Genstar was pointing that out, and both were kicked, Genstar for "egging on Rover". Teuton, Chris and Kami tried to tell Jake to stop being so zealous, and he just brushed them off like *nothing.* Chris left and tried to tell people to stop hanging out with him, and I'm glad that he tried to do that. See some pictures that I grabbed from the arguments!

This picture was after Teuton tried to remind Jake to stop being a cult because he PLEADED that the group wasn't a cult but he was turning it into one!

In the screenshot, Teuton tries to tell Jake to reflect on what he's done and to try to be a better person. What does Jake do? The opposite. He shows the type of person he is, to manipulate people and then instantly shit on them if they do one thing wrong in his book, even if it's for his own good.

This screenshot shows Chris saying pure truth, and instead of trying to take that in and improve as a person, what does he say to it? "lol".

Self-explanatory screenshot in Nomer's DMs.

This was one of Jake's vents to me, and it shows that he took Teuton's word as SLANDER. We weren't friends to him. To him, we weren't trying to help.

Now, onto what caused me to leave.
The thing that told me to go tell Polyhex about what was going on was this comment that BeetBowl wrote in the Adventure Club.

It made me think, "Holy shit! It IS fucked up that he's trying to talk about his pedophilia with children!" I told Polyhex to not send the DM I sent him in the Adventure Club because Jake has spies. Thankfully, all of his spies have now left the server or him. The reason I saw this? I saw two full page chat logs that Jake posted that were from the Discord in his announcement pages. Once again, instead of trying to read through the messages and try to think of how he can improve so this doesn't happen again, he instantly sputters "I HAVE BEEN BETRAYED". I blocked him on all social platforms and kicked him from the server, then banned him today.

I also remember that he put his NSFW twitter profile, @orangefurrey, on his ROBLOX twitter bio. Disgusting. Both in that twitter profile and in the friend Discord, he posted about his fat fetish and it was just constantly weird. And it's not like the profile was private from the beginning, either! It was FULLY OPEN FOR ANYONE TO SEE WHEN HE HAD IT IN HIS BIO.

I installed a BetterDiscord plugin that let me see hidden channels and categories. What'd I see? He had a furry channel and an archive category. This was a while before I left. That's when I knew that he could ALWAYS use what we say against us and that he has more fetish shit he was spreading around the server. What was in the furry channel? I don't know.

If you want more information on this, go read Kai's call-out post. It's a great call-out and if I hadn't been so far in denial and actually read the post, I would've left him much earlier.
