I keep getting fans denying Michael Kovach and Ashley Nichols's racism. They both made apologies, so that debunks that. Fun fact: There's at least two different clips from two different 2019 VODs of Michael Kovach and Ashely Nichols engaing in this behavior. Plus during the livestream of Jax's Toy in 2025, Michael Kovach made two N-slur jokes. So this is a repeated pattern.
[Start ID: A tweet by Michael Kovach. It reads, "I've just been made aware of this. This is absolutely an insensitive joke. Earlier in the stream, we heard Ashley read out a username that contained the word “Nega” (short for negative) and all of us, including chat, freaked out because we misheard what was said. Once the misunderstanding was cleared, we poked fun at the absurdity of it. However, the "joke" relies on the fact that it's "teetering on racist" - which ultimately is no different than making a legitimate racist joke. I apologize for any harm this has caused, and for the fact that we ever thought it humorous to joke about in the first place. Racism is NEVER okay and we should always strive to be kind and lift each other up."/. End ID.]
Start ID: Two tweets from Ashley Nichols, a quote tweet to Michael Kovach's tweet apology and a follow-up to hers. The quote tweet reads, "I want to apologize to anyone the jokes in my stream harmed. Racism is never okay and even joking about a misunderstanding that sounded racist is also not okay. I should have known better back then and I want to continue to grow and be a better person. Fuck racism, fuck racists.".
The follow-up text reads, "The VOD is still up and will remain up because I have no intention of hiding anything. Also I apologize my replies are off as I’ve been continually doxxed and spammed with gore by the UTTP. Please share your thoughts in the QRTs.". Followed by a link to one of the 2019 livestreams./.

Btw don't harass the creators: It takes the focus away from the Black fans and fans who are grooming survivors affected by these behaviors and accountability for the creators involved.
New additional information: Apparently Gooseworx was being racist in the chat of one of these streams. She was typing the N-slur similar sounding word and encouraging the both of them to say it. Again, I can't find the stream yet; so if anyone has a link or screenshot that would be greatly appreciated.
Also Sean Chiplock (Kinger's voice actor) had an inappropriate interaction with a minor at the time, who lied about their age when he was 24. The viewer can come to their own conclusion regarding this. I'm bring it up for archiving purposes. The racism and enabling should still remain the focus.
[Start ID: A link to an Instragram post from the user, allhailthequeenuwu, explaining the debunked Sean Chiplock's grooming allegations. The slide has a title that reads, "Finally Freedom!".
The following series of subtext reads, "The false allegations between Sean Chiplock and Casper are finally over. From August 6 up to now, I've been the mediator on this whole situation.
It was no easy task, that's for sure, but it was worth it. Talking and listening to both sides, I have grown big respects towards them.
Were they frustrated from this Whole ordeal? Yes, but they were very understanding to one another. All groups including myself have deleted all related post about this situation I'm here to update/inform you all this I showed both.
Casper and Sean if they are okay with this post, so I'm in the clear :D.".
The background is of the "Man breaking chains" meme redrawn with the artist's persona./. End ID.]
