There is a problem in the brony community that has been seen in the need of an addressing. As time went by there have been allegations towards certain people in the fandom about various crimes committed by certain people.

Today we’ll focus on a disturbing case that has been starting to pick up a bit of steam and tension. This is the case of a Brony Analyst named ToonKriticY2K. This user (Also known as Zak Kayes) is in the middle of some hot water due to allegations of pedophilia.

The evidence presented to back up these accusations shows the offender grooming a 14-year-old girl in a series of erotic role plays. There is no shortage of screenshots that show this sort of behavior as there are over 500 of them.

Not only that, but the behavior has been shown to have happened consistently, with at least 2 other victims involved; potentially revealing a modus operandi in the way he performed these acts.

According to the screenshots, ToonKriticY2K had these Roleplaying sessions for well over 13 months. ToonKriticY2K groomed the victim until she finally apparently began to fall for him. The relationship continued to the point where the analyst started to send pornographic images to her, and solicit nude pictures of the victim; actions that took an already troubling situation into an unquestionably illegal one, if true.

All of this continued for some time until a recent call was made by Josh Scorcher (Firebrand), and other people among ToonKritic’s now ex-friend circle, where they talked to him about the allegation and tried to convince him to turn himself in to the authorities:

At the time of writing, no confirmation of arrest has been made by anyone. ToonKritic made most of his accounts private and unreachable and allegedly went into hiding; however, the reaction of the community at large exploded.

People prominent in the Brony Community like Lily Peet, Minty Root and other YouTubers have soon made their own essays about the whole situation. More testimonials about ToonKritic’s behavior started popping up as well.

Now, this is the part where I have to stress that so far these are allegations, though some have been admitted to by ToonKritic himself in the previously mentioned conversation with his former friends. Even then, some allegations remain to be admitted to or proven at all.

However, if we look back at the amount of accusations, we can see that some of them date back to as far as 2006. For those interested on the evidence surrounding ToonKritic, I took the liberty of taking the most damning screenshots and placing them in a folder in my Cloud.

While this will put the Brony Community on high alert for other abusers, there is another aspect of the fandom that needs addressing in order to keep stories like this from happening ever again.

I always wanted to be a journalist who listens. The Voice of the Unspoken and someone heavily involved in the gaming community. From playing as a leader of a competitive multi-branch team to organizing tournaments for the competitive scene to being involved in a lot of gaming communities. I want to keep moving forward as a journalist.

ReFantazio Takes a Different Approach to Romance, Setting Itself Apart from the Persona Games

Atlus’ highly anticipated RPG, Metaphor: ReFantazio, appears to incorporate familiar systems reminiscent of the developer’s acclaimed Persona series. The game features turn-based battles that heavily rely on exploiting enemy weaknesses. Additionally, players have the ability to summon warrior spirits during combat. However, the most significant aspect of this game, which will be discussed in this article, is the bonding system. Through this system, players can spend time with important characters and gain deeper insights into their personalities and stories.

In contrast to the Persona games, the bonding system ends at that point. Unfortunately, players will be unable to pursue romantic relationships with their beloved waifus, which may come as a disappointment to those who have developed strong feelings for Hulkenberg, the party’s charismatic red-haired elven knight.

According to Siliconera, the absence of romance came up during a recent question and answer session. Atlus emphasized the continued opportunity to develop meaningful relationships with your allies while also introducing additional narratives through substories. In addition, familiarizing yourself with the supporting characters will grant you access to new archetypes, which serve as the game’s character classes.

In the Persona games, romance is not obligatory; rather, it serves as a means to customize your playthrough. However, it is quite unexpected that Metaphor has chosen not to pursue such a venture, considering the significant amount of discussion it typically generates!

Were you anticipating any romantic elements in Metaphor? If you’re not satisfied with your pre-order, feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section below.

It appears that many

are eagerly anticipating the launch of the highly anticipated PS5 exclusive, Stellar Blade. Shift Up, the developer, has shared a lengthy video showcasing the “secrets” found in the physical box of the game for PS5. From what we can gather, these secrets include a reversible cover/dust jacket and a download code for cosmetic items.

We must clarify that while we do appreciate the variant cover, it may be more appealing than the game’s standard art. However, it is not something we would typically classify as a “secret.”. However, what’s interesting is that Shift Up has confirmed through the comments section that this will be the case in all regions. Additionally, the visually striking action RPG will remain uncensored worldwide.

It’s refreshing to witness a developer going the extra mile for physical collectors, and it’s evident that the developer is determined to leave a favorable mark in the console realm. Stellar Blade is set to make its highly anticipated debut this Friday, April 26th, exclusively on the PS5.
