whats the dish on ProPedo and Holly Conrad were they the cheaters?
Yeah, they were the cheaters. There’s a lot of details, but the short version is:
Holly: While she was still married, said she ONLY had feelings for Jared, not her husband. Got a divorce, moved to Jared’s town, and promptly started hooking up with Jared while he was still married.
Jared: Abused and gaslit his wife Heidi for years. Agreed to poly to try and save their marriage, with Heidi setting a rule of “No feelings though”. He ignored it, and developed feelings for Holly. When Heidi said she wasn’t comfortable doing poly anymore since he ignored her one rule, Jared continued fucking Holly in secret, while growing increasingly abusive towards his wife.
Holly and Jared used the show as a way to hook up. They had their characters enter a romantic relationship. They were sexting each other while live on stream. They commissioned people to draw porn of their characters, which was basically just porn of them, since they both said their characters were self-inserts. Etcetc.
Heidi eventually found out about this, and told Jared she wanted a divorce. They agreed to keep it private. Except then Jared blocked Heidi on all social media, and made a public statement on her behalf that was a bunch of lies about their separation, with no input from her. So Heidi then dumped all her evidence, and all hell broke loose.
Except, in the process of all that hitting the internet, it came out that Jared was also soliciting nudes from minors. Heidi had been aware of him using his fame to get nudes from fans, and acknowledged she should have done something. But she was unaware that the dude had been exchanging nudes and sexts with fans who were underaged. Jared tried to defend this shit with, “I didn’t know they were underaged, so it’s their fault.”
In general, over the months, Holly and Jared have repeatedly tried to make excuses for themselves, while blaming Heidi for it all, and blaming Jared’s victims. Holly constantly goes on about how SHE’S the one who’s been bullied and abused, and she was only trying to RESCUE Jared from his wife’s abuse. And then tried to make money off the controversy by selling “CANCELLED!!” t-shirts. Eyeroll.
Also, I try not to comment too much about drama. But I’m going to be blunt here:
If you still support ProJared and CommanderHolly, especially after that video today, just go ahead and block me.
I was already done with ProJared, but I have 0 tolerance for someone who:
Decided to post his vid on the same day that there was a discussion of abuse and sexual misconduct in gaming -- therefore taking attention away from the victims, and hijacking the conversation. Now everyone is talking about him, instead of the women who came forward against men in game dev last night.
Thinks that “but they told me they were 18, so I’m the victim” is ever an acceptable excuse for pedophilia.
Really had the audacity to trawl through a 19yo’s blog to find evidence of a brain injury they sustained, and then pulled the “they’re mentally ill and their word can’t be trusted, they probably made it up” ableist card.
Among other things. If you somehow think that video made him seem more understandable or innocent, or that those are EVER valid defenses, I just don’t want to interact with you at all.
And most of y’all know how I’ve felt about Holly’s ongoing abuse and bullying and scamming and awful behavior, going all the way back to the Heroes of Cosplay days, so I don’t think that bears repeating.
Just block me if you support those two, that’s it, that’s the post.
