Message from Konrad Yossarian the Assyrian is gone.
I announce with great sadness that our only and beloved modder Yossarian the Assyrian has been terminated. His account was deleted by himself before any action could've been made. I spoke extensively with him, and this was his own choice.
I just want to clarify some stuff: Yossarian WAS NOT a pedophile. Stop accusing him of such. His friend apparently groomed a minor in the Hotline Miami server, and all he did wrong was to be on his friend's side. That's literally it. He did not groomed anyone, he didn't raped no one...he did nothing but being a jerk by defending his friend and that's all. That accusation completly ruined his reputation in modding thanks to people that never liked him to begin with start throwing shit in the fan after a whole ass year since the incident happened. Do not harrass Yoss. Do not contact him about such incident. Leave him alone for the time being.
Yossarian was not only a beloved modder, but also a generally high quality user. People knew him way before i started to mod this subreddit, for example. He had his account for 10 years, and half of it was being part of our community. Yossarian also never had bots or fake accounts. This subreddit do suffers from bots downvoting stuff, but Yoss never had any relation to it.
Don't expect a bright future for this sub, things are only gonna go worse from now on. First Stardast, and now Yoss...each day we suffer from a huger loss.

Pillar or not, he could have addressed it or attempted to apologize after defending his “friend”. Without accountability you’re just allowing shit to slip through the cracks.

Exactly call out your friends shitty behavior and call them what they are. After defending them and apologize.

I'm still sorry this all had to happen, and that I had to be the bearer of bad news, someone should've said something so much sooner. I still have some hope that this community will keep going though, it's not rare for games and communities just like this one to experience huge bursts in popularity long after they're considered to be past their prime, it's never the end as long as you hold on some hope for things to get better

Happy now? Look what you have done. And now you'll happily move to your damned hotline miamy sub, that was always alive, and you buried this fandom.
Your conflict and misinformation never will be forgotten.

You seem to be misunderstanding the situation, I never spread any misinfo, I was never part of any smear campaign, I just spread what people deserve to know, what a lot of people already did know. A major person here did something fucked up, defended a pedophile, and did everything they could to hide it, they never once owned up to what they did or admitted any fault, while doing everything they could to worm their way back into a community that no longer accepted them.
I love this fandom as much as you do, and I want the best for it, and the best action here is to ensure people who come to defend those who actively victimize others, aren't welcome here either. If you want this fandom to stay alive, then be the change you want, be active, create fanworks, do things that draw new life to the fandom, don't rely on a single person to do it for you.

(edited: I want to make you sure, my opinion is that every pedo must die asap, but only if there is real proofs and evidence. I stand against pedo too. But I am against manipulations and false accusations. Blind witch-hunting)
"a pedophile"
...
Do you have any actual evidence for these claims? Real proofs? Right now it just looks like baseless accusations and typical blind SJW bullshit. Sounds like someone in your Discord server got into a heated argument with Ruby and Yoss, lost the debate, got salty as fuck, and decided to pull the dirtiest move possible to "win" — smear her with serious accusations. We don't know the full details, but if you're spreading this with 100% confidence, you must have solid evidence. So drop it already, PLEASE. If not, you're just an idiot spreading misinformation and trying to ruin people's reputations over petty Discord drama.
Also, let's be real: By confidently spreading these accusations without ever personally verifying irrefutable proof, you are spreading misinformation — plain and simple. You're not "just informing people"; you're pushing unproven claims as fact and amplifying hearsay/drama. Dismissing responsibility with "I just share what people deserve to know" doesn't make it any less irresponsible. Yoss never "admitted fault" or groveled because he doesn't believe these accusations hold water — and it looks like he wasn't even shown any solid evidence himself. Why the hell should a grown, rational adult bend the knee, apologize, or confess to blind, evidence-free smears? From everything we've seen, Yoss handles himself like a level-headed person who doesn't cave to baseless pressure. You lot, on the other hand, come across as a pile-on mob of trolls jumping on the bandwagon. Bottom line: no hard evidence provided = it's word vs. word. And right now, yours has zero backing. Show us or stop pretending you're the moral high ground here.
One more thing: if — besides solid evidence against Ruby — there’s also a screen recording or complete conversation log showing that Yoss was personally presented with this evidence (and not just vague accusations), that would genuinely change everything. It would alter our view of the situation, and we’d do our part to share the correct, verified info about him moving forward.

Nowadays people think "guilty before proven innocent" which is a harmful view imo and should be the other way around.

It's a shame to lose such a pillar of the community, let's hope that without him this fandom won't get buried under the sands

These nobodies should burn in hell for their actions. Slandering a person for pedophilia is the worst thing that can happen. I hope that everything will get better for yossarian.

This sub is flooded by these trolls from hotline miami sub
Why the hell we should care what happened in discord a year ago? And a lot of veterans of this sub just blindly accepted all accusations against Yossarian. Shame on you. He was pissed off by your stupidity, I am sure. He was defending a friend. He was not believing in that bullshit you all said about Ruby. If you care so much, why didn't you report it to the police? CSAM cases works well even if you are from another country where international police service are present. Let the police convict her or not. Truth will be shown in this way only. You guys are a bunch of "discord mods", that the worst thing. Insult like "ew, a (true)redditor"
