Reïzod Appasoulak just damaged DrApeis’s case
In case you didn’t know, Reïzod Appasoulak is a YouTuber who’s been helping DrApeis try to debunk claims being made against him. Mostly involving their petty BS with one of Yandere Simulator’s musicians, CameronF305.
So, I recently watched Reïzod‘s video regarding his accusations toward Cameron using falsified screenshots to make DrApeis look bad. It was... extremely stupid. It’s just 5 minutes of Discord screenshots where Reïzod badgers Cameron about his allegedly fake screenshot and screams “VERDICT GUILTY” like a lunatic. Essentially, his entire argument was that if the screenshot was real, then using a zero-tolerance paint bucket tool in Photoshop would reveal any artifacts left over from image manipulation.
Now Reïzod is busy claiming that he has mountains of evidence against Cameron; even though his only evidence is random conspiracy theories and this video of him endlessly repeating “why is there a gap?” “why is there a gap?” “why is there a gap?” for five minutes. The whole thing sounded completely ridiculous to me, so I decided to test his theory for myself. Surprisingly, it actually works.
Now, the gap has been easily explained by the fact that profile pictures on discord have a drop-shadow if you hover over them with your mouse, so that kinda makes his argument fall apart. However, with this newfound method of testing Discord screenshots, I got curious and decided to try it out on a couple of other screenshots that have been floating around. Specifically, the ones DrApeis allegedly got from EpicMealDev...
And this further confirms Reïzod’s logic. There are almost no artifacts in this image. Barring the possibility of “Inspect Element” editing, this message appears to 100% legit. Although my problem was and still is a crippling lack of context (since anything can be presented out of context to fit someone else’s narrative), it does appear that claims regarding YanDev bullying EpicMealDev have some legitimacy.
Or so it would initially seem. When I tested this on the other screenshots, things got... interesting...
Now that is a LOT of artifacts surrounding the profile pics, the text, the time codes, and even the friggin’ borders. Keep in mind, I didn’t grab these images off of some random virtue signaller’s 50th retweet where they demonize YanDev. All three of these were taken from DrApeis’s Reddit posts where they originally appeared. Admittedly, if all three of them had those artifacts then I would have my doubts. But since one of them doesn’t have them, it raises quite a few questions.
The way I see it, there are only two options here: Either Reïzod’s method for verifying Discord screenshots is wrong and the accusations against Cameron are completely baseless, or his method is right and DrApeis is lying about their screenshots. Either way, things do NOT look good for DrApeis right now, and they have their new best buddy Reïzod to thank for that.
