"but there isn't enough evidence!" Ren gave you an over 400 page document with timestamps, photos, screenshots. they do not owe you anything else.
it is not just Zeal. A multitude of people are coming out about mistreatment from devs on the team.
NEUTRALITY IS COMPLIANCE.
SUPPORT VICTIMS. SEXUAL ASSAULT IS NOT SOMETHING ONE MAKES A 400 PAGE DOCUMENT JUST TO LIE ABOUT. REN IS INCREDIBLY BRAVE FOR SPEAKING UP ABOUT IT, SUPPORT THEM.
I should preface this by saying that the focus of everyone right now should be on ren’s health. zeal is genuinely a deplorable human being and should be punished for his crimes. this post is not meant to detract from the severity of the situation, nor make this about the game/fandom, please do not take it as such.
alright. some reminders for the pressure fans and ex-fans right now:
- as ren has said, “this is not ‘drama’”. this is not a “controversy”. I don’t want to see a single “the pressure situation is insane” video. this is legally and morally a crime. zeal is not “problematic”, he is a criminal.
- similarly, please don’t compare this to the grace drama. THAT is drama. simon and his girlfriend are pieces of shit, but yall need to understand that they did not commit a crime. nobody was given lifelong trauma and almost killed themself because simon’s partner said the n word in private. granted, it’s still disgusting, and it’s good that nobody forgave him for it. but the severity of what has happened is not comparable to it.
- at the bare minimum, please stop buying pressure merch and gamepasses. if you bought merch before this (that hasn’t shipped yet), don’t be afraid to contact makeship and request a refund. if you can, stop playing pressure as a whole. If you need to slowly wean off of it, that’s okay too, take as much time as you need. if you feel like you have to keep playing the game (especially for mental/addiction related reasons), you’re not a bad person for it. however, please remember that just playing the game will still financially benefit zeal if you have Roblox premium. premium gives robux/money to devs if you play their game.
- this is less of a trend on here as it is on youtube/tiktok, but please do not destroy pressure merch you already own. if you do not wish to own it anymore, donating it to a local thrift or consignment store is probably your best bet. if you wish to keep your merch, that’s okay!!! you are not a bad person for owning it or finding joy in it. you purchased it before anyone knew about what zeal has done.
- please remember that someone choosing to stay in the pressure fandom does not mean that they support zeal. fanworks and rewrites are awesome and don’t support zeal, nor the devs.
- this one is very important to me. please do not feel like you need to stop selfshipping/yumeshipping with any pressure character because of this. do not harass pressure selfshippers/yumeshippers. I am one of these people. sebastian exists in a void to me now, and I’ve completely separated my selfship from the game. I am certain that whichever character(s) you ship with would completely condemn zeal and the complacent devs. I’m gonna put this tiktok comment here because it genuinely made me sob. and it’s true.
- please don’t beat yourself up over what has happened. and don’t stress about not doing enough. this is probably the most mature fandom response I’ve ever seen. never have I seen a fandom completely condemn something they love so much in such a short amount of time. you all are handling this so well. I promise. it’s gonna be okay.
Zeal defenders make no sense to me. Let’s say IF he didn’t do it, there was still mistreatment in the team, underpaying artists, harassment, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, etc. Why would you still want to support that anyway? Y’all are too compliant, it shows your true colors.
You all really care for a game more than the fact of someone being a sexual predator. Going to defend him instead of the “possible” victim says all I need to know.
Anyways go support Ren/Nolongernull, stream their music on Spotify, 100% of the funds go to her.
I do not support pressure or the people behind it. Even if I remain in the fandom, even if I continue to enjoy things related to Sebastian, I do not support pressure.
I do not support Zeal, I do not support Zerum, I do not support Kat, I do not support Wil. I do not support anyone on the pressure dev team who knew what Zeal did to Ren and chose to stay silent or even cover up Zeals actions.
If you are unaware of this situation, there is a doc posted on twitter going into Ren’s experience with Zeal and the rest of the dev team. I highly suggest you read through at least some of it before making any opinions on the situation.
I've been busy, with work and school, trying to get my life together, but I planned on coming back when I was reaady.
But unfortunately, I will never be ready.
100+ followers meant so much to me. This GAME meant so much to me. It was so much fun interacting with you guys and making art for you (even though I found my artstyle to be shit at the time) and while I can always ignore everything that's going on. I can't. I cannot turn my back on a fellow survivor.
YourFriendZeal is a rapist. YourFriendZeal SEXUALLY ASSAULTED his music producer. And I helped funded it. I put in good word for this game. I told Ren to stop "vagueposting" about Zeal. God, I told them to stop vagueposting.
I stop playing the game months ago, especially due to the unfair glitch bans. Now, I don't associate with the game at all. I am disgusted. my heart hurts for Ren.
If you couldn't tell, this account is permanently dead. I can't play as Sebastian like this. I will be making my own games and characters. You can find me on @misomaniacsoup on most platforms, including this one. You can also support Ren @NoLongerNull on Twitter.
I'm sorry to everyone. I'm especially sorry to Ren. Goodbye.
What Zeal Did to Me at RDC 2025 Written and compiled by the person to whom this happened. Edited with the help and support of my friends.
I do not support, condone or defend ANYTHING ever uttered or done by the pressure dev team.
Consider everything and every artwork on this blog a massive fuck you to the team, as it had often been in the past. Pressure remains a comfort space for me, and had never been such in relation to its creators, so I see no reason for this to change, but I am stating for safety my position in this tide.
Yo uh I didn't wanna take about this again but I keep seeing videos trying to act like a detective and paint ren as a dookie person because of some plot holes in her doc and trying to make zeal look like an angel, just because they want pressure back and to gain a new lolcow to clown on.
I don't think it's a good idea to try to paint one side as a bad guy just because theirs some mistakes in their doc, Especially if the other side made it harder for themselves by hiding messages of the potential victim explaining what consent means and crying about how they're just bad at sex
Just because someone isn't a perfect victim doesn't mean that takes away from the fact that they were assaulted, I've seen this waaaaay to many because of people using serious crimes like rape and pedophilia as a way to tarnish someone's name and it's one of the reasons why victims stay quiet, it's because of people trying to victim blame them because their assailant is someone popular, and their stories are swept under the rug just so they can keep making something people love while silencing their victim
I'm on rens side because I always try to support potential victims, as a person with a mom who is a victim and I know a butch of other victims that went through similar situations as ren, I do not take the topic of sa lightly, it's a horrible crime and just because I used to basically worship pressure doesn't mean I'll potentially victim blame just so my favorite game can stay alive
But how people are treating this on both sides is bad, on one hand I've seen people making jersey club remixes out of zeals crocodile tears on his suicide stream and on the other hand I'm seeing people saying rens a whore and that women always lie about everything and continuing to give zeal money to spite ren, non of this is ok, both sides just wants a lolcow they can mock for the week and I hate it (tho Admittedly some of the Ratio's zeal supporters got are really funny)
If you don't wanna completely pick a side because your cautious about one side lying then I completely understand because if rens lying then that means half of the internet doxxed a man and lead him to attempt suicide and on the other hand if zeals lying then that means literal children tried silencing the words of a rape victim just because they want their favorite game back. ok i'll shut up about this now
