Is it so hard for Salem to just apologize. This is addressing one situation partly, sure. He's still behing extremely vague as to what happened to cause Andi/Adonis/Kyu/Kung-Fu Revvy to "split" and who his groomer is, which the groomer in question is his and Sawyer's ex named Torin who Salem kept defending even after Salem apparently got groomed at 19. Torin was grooming literal minors, teenagers from aged 15-17, and Salem knew, and didn't care and even defended her. Thats why Sawyer called him out in the first place. That's what jumpstarted everything here, jumpstarted my blog and reignited the @wolfertinger blog. But so much other stuff came up in the middle of it that it made it hard to just focus on one thing.
Salem leaves out that this was a whole entire Twitter account he made to escape grooming accusations. He was known on Twitter to post heavily sexual content (his own art, his own posts, and retweets) and a minor audience. One of these minors asked Salem for advice on drawing and posting nsfw publicly, and called Salem "mom"/"mommy" which was not discouraged but Salem vented on his private about instead. Salem assisted in this. He was called out. Deactivated. Made @/kungfurevvv to escape having to apologize for anything. Roleplayed as Asian. Was caught. Deactivated. Came onto main to "apologize", but did the same thing he did here except was more mask off about not being sorry for the broken English. He blamed everything on callmegreen TWICE, on Twitter and then 4 years later on Bluesky. Salem blamed a fucking 15 year old for what Salem chose to do, all because he was caught.
The ONE thing out of a million that we've asked him to just own up to and apologize for. This just creates new issues. Because again, he didn't apologize. He just over explained HIS reasoning for the racism. This is the YouTuber equivalent to making a 10 minute apology video where you just vaguely bring things up that you did and never actually own up to them.
Andi is the scapegoat again.
He has multiple opportunities to just be completely clear and honest. But doesn't.
Does saying "I take full accountability" count as saying "I'm sorry", especially when you've shown that you're not sorry because it's been like 4 years now and you still haven't actually said sorry for absolutely anything except your breakdowns?
So, we know the mentality behind Andi existing. Do we know that you're genuinely remorseful for it or what. The answer has to be a no, because she still exists and has the same personality and behavior, just doesn't front to post it online. It's only shown through artwork with her babbling, clothing style, and her liking red pandas, Elfen Lied, and apparently Kung-Fu movies only. Andi is described as a weeb and a himejoshi in a deleted post of Salem’s.
Going to wait on an actual apology now, like everyone has asked for.
The way he just gets irritated and annoyed at people asking him to not do these type of posts. Saying, "my detractors move goalposts all the fucking time", it shows me he's only making a post to make himself look good for his audience. His "detractors" already knwe what he did. We already know his explanation. We already know. We didn't ask why he has this alter or oc or why it happened, because we know. We asked for him to say sorry and stop using Andi in an insensitive, infantilizing racist way. Apparently that is the most difficult thing for him to do. Because then if he apologized, he would actually be in the wrong and no longer be an innocent victim who is unable to be racist ever.
"As a system host I take full accountability over something that (in an unintentional manner) was racially insensitive."
I don't give a fuck if it was unintentional. Say sorry you asshole.
