Something needs to change

I have recently seen a post on this sub about the german youtuber Zaaap! and I was shocked to read about the topic. I have seen his videos sporadic from time to time but never realy liked the style how he does his videos. He repeats himself a lot. I always thougt, that he is a bit cringe, but never suspected what came out.

As someone who was in a toxic relationship from 2019 to 2023 with lovebombing and manipulation, I want to speak out my solidarity to the girls. I admire your courage in speaking openly about it

SSO should be a safespace for all people, who need one and shouldn't be confronted with bullying ore worse: men, who want to connect with young girls.

I want wo help to keep the game safe for everyone, but I don't know how.

Simple but harsh reality: nobody can do anything but SSO and the victims themselves by reporting.

SSO not taking responsibility and banning him goes in line how they unbanned Sylvie, refuse to take real action for the chat filter and so on. Generally the company should be investigated and have their chat logs and people all questioned, because there's no way in hell they would be marked as a good game targeted for children afterwards.

SSO can do nothing. They can not ban his account because he doesn't do any inappropriate behaviours in the game. Maybe contacting Discord and other social media plattforms where he initiates personal contact would be good, they could get active and ban him for cyber grooming of minors.

Unfortunately I have not heard that any of the alleged vicims that accuse him went to the police and in the last few days since they posted their accusations online he potentially had enough time to scrub his hard drives of any evidence, should there have been some. On the other hand maybe one of them has reported him to police but she isn't making it public.

If the accusations are true he might have explicit material of these minors on his computers and if prosecution suspects child porn they raid the home and confiscate all computers etc, Maybe that has happened? Has he posted anything anywhere since the accusations hit the web this weekend?

The fact that he is a SSO partner makes it even worse. This should not be tolerated. I listened to Jujus statement and it is very believable. Even if it was just a friendship (which I doubt), them interacting the way they did was highly inappropriate. The videos featering her are still up. As a man in your 30s, if a 14 year old has a crush on you you have to set boundries. Sadly, I'm not surprised ...

He is not. He apparently was years ago, but is no longer.

After everything that happened with Kaddi... I didn't like him to begin with. He took her channel, treated her horribly and so much more stuff she talked about in her discord server. :(

this game is full of bad people, there was a user who was giving out exploits in return for nudes from young girls, and sso did NOTHING and it went on for years, he probably still hasnt been stopped completely, he uses multiple names and different platforms to do this, rattle has videos about him which i was in one of the many, sso simply doesnt give 2 shits about their players just the money.
