Connor: Yeah, I mean, I just feel like I owe it, to be honest, because, like...
Obviously, anybody who's watched me for a while has known that like I... I joke about- the Dream SMP circle a lot. I do, it's obviously something I've been pretty separated from. Uh, I've always been in my own corner. Um... and y'know, I never felt it was my obligation or my place to like, speak out on stuff that I had seen and heard? Um... because it wasn't, and it isn't? Um... but dude, I- it's- it's crazy to me. It is just... it is frustrating to me. What I am trying to get at is like the fucking...
The way that that circle talks about and treats women, behind the scenes and even- IN the scene I guess as you can see now that it's become public- it's just disgusting. It's just- it's just been gross to me for- it's just gross. Just gross, it's just gross.
It's the fact that it's gross, plus the fact that the audience that they've cultivated is like young girls. You have young girls watching you, and then you're going to go in your apology and then say that... that like, "Oh, like, I thought it was chill" or like, "Oh, they were eight-" like, you're twenty seven! Like, can we s- like- what the fuck?! Like, there- they literally just turned eighteen- like, what- what are we even arguing about? What are we even discussing? Like where is- what nuance are you trying to get at, here?
And like, it's a pattern, dude! Like it's a pattern! Like even if we have the most charitable view of shit- like dude, why are you in these situations in the first place? Why are you in these situations where people are reaching out, and going like, "Hey, come to my hotel room, oh, you're not being fucking ID'd, like, how old-" like, what the fuck?! Like- how is- it's crazy to me, and again, I hate to say it, because I feel complicit in that I didn't say anything earlier, but I'm not surprised dude. I really am not. I have seen the way that circle has talked about women behind the scenes, what they've done to girls behind the scenes- which are not my stories to share- it is frustrating, dude. It is fucking frustrating. It...
Y'know, you can't really- I beat myself up for not saying shit earlier, but I feel like I owe it to my audience and the people that watch me to know that like I don't stand by that shit, I don't support that. Um, but like dude- again, it was never my place to say shit, but also, like... if I did, if I even hinted at shit? I got fucking dragged for it, dude! I had fucking thousands of stans being like, "What the fuck? Keep their name out of you-" and shit like that, and I'm like- dude, what the fuck do you even do? What the fuck do you even say? That's part of the fucking strategy, isn't it? That's part of it! It's like, "I'm gonna cultivate an audience of fucking crazy, like"- crazy, that sounds wrong- "Of like, hyperfixated young girls to then defend me and shit!" It's crazy! It's fucking crazy, dude. And it is frustrating, and I am so glad to finally just say shit, because it has- frustrated me for so long to no end dude. Um... I- yeah. I dunno. I dunno. Again, I barely wrote any notes. I- I barely wrote anything. I just- I feel like I have to say something. I dunno. Again... I dunno. I dunno.

Connor: That whole circle dude. Genuinely. I... it's an open secret, too. It really is. Like you ask anybody that has been around? I guarantee you that they'll- they'll vouch. Like it's an open secret. It really is.
