"The drums of war are beating! No man can be trusted!" Fire Emblem Community goes under a massive uproar unseen since the Yied Massacre when popular FETuber/Streamer Mangs is accused of sexual assault by Goosaphone.
Post Body

Some Context: Prior to the drama coming out, Goosaphone/Goose, who is a cosplayer, streamer and ocarinist, revealed that she was a victim of sexual assault. During this moment, Mangs posted a (now-deleted) tweet in which he showed off his watch to his fans. Chaz, a semi-popular FETuber, accused him of ignoring Goose's situation and mocked his post. THEN, Mangs claimed that he was abused himself in the past and temporarily deactivated his Twitter account, causing some to rally against Chaz for his comments. THEN, Goose then claimed that she was a victim of sexual abuse by Mangs. Later that same day, Mangs later reactivated his Twitter account, and announced that he plans to make a response with logs, which he finally did as of this writing with Chaz accusing him of trying to manipulate his fanbase against Goose. Since then, there have been at least an additional 2 allegations against him, one from Tomefaired and one from Mina To say that the reactions are heavily mixed is a massive understatement, and accordingly, the drama has been spread to major Fire Emblem subreddits.

Interesting Maneuvers from /r/fireemblem:

Anyone who thought his creeping is restricted to fictional characters might be new to the fandom.

I fucking hate that I don't find this surprising. While I liked his content, the specific way in which he got horny has a certain weirdness to it, but I didn't want to think that, I convinced myself that I was just looking too deep into things, but I guess that was a miss. As someone who's been molested, I can tell you that it's ridiculously scary. I couldn't say a damn thing, it never felt like anyone would take me seriously, like I'd be some kinda villain "disturbing" the peace of the surroundings (It was a fucking supermarket, not even my school or anything and I still felt like that!) and even now, the only ones I've managed to tell in my personal life are my closest friends. The shit that Goose dealt with is even beyond that, constant manipulation and damn near rape.

Whelp all we need is pokemon to announce something and my bif three Nintendo games have had people do shit wrong in the community Smash is well a shitshow. And now Fe we have this.

Iā€™m not familiar with Mangs or Goose, Ghast is the only FE YouTuber I know. I donā€™t have a dog in this fight. But in my experience, the one coming forward usually has everything to lose and nothing to gain. I have no issue believing her, unless Mangs comes out with something that completely exonerates him

Additional Comments from /r/FireEmblemHeroes:

"I won't touch you" -> "I thought it was okay to cuddle with you" ???

As a model, I canā€™t tell how often stuff like this has happened to me. Trying to get further into the business, while having creeps trying to ā€œhelp.ā€ Then deny that they have ever done anything. I feel so sorry for her and hope something gets done about Mangs. That behavior is inexcusable.

My bet on "Guys it's a just a missunderstanding I'm totally not a 30 years old who should totally know better"

This is insane. While I do feel terrible for Goose, I honestly have to say that I'm not entirely surprised considering the way Mangs talks about his waifus on his channel.

This scares me alright. I always knew Mangs did come off a bit creepy in the past when he talked about girls, but I just ruled that out of him being horny over 2D characters. This however is just fully disgusting and so messed up. Iā€™m glad that Goose told us the truth and I hope she does well now. It must have been hard bringing this up, but she did the right thing and she has my support. As for me, Iā€™m literally losing trust now in most people in the gaming community. After the smash allegations, some allegations against streamers etc. It has been hard and scary to listen to all of these news of people I once watched doing these horrendous acts.

Additional Notice: The post containing the sexual allegations against Mangs was initially taken down, but was later reinstated. This resulted in a minor rift between /r/fireemblem and /r/FireEmblemHeroes users.

I feel so bad for her. As a woman Iā€™ve never felt totally comfortable watching his content because of the types of sexual comments he made. I enjoyed watching collabs with other people, though. He was funny when he wasnā€™t been creepy. Iā€™m glad Goose seems to be getting tons of support. I hope she finds closure and moves forward positively. Itā€™s disappointing that this post was taken down on the main sub. People should know who the YouTubers theyā€™re subbing to really are.

Apologies if this isn't the best place for this. My post on /r/fireemblem was taken down and I want this to get visibility. EDIT: Mods have since made the post visible again as a developing situation. If anything make sure to give Goosaphone the support she needs. The community has responded very positively thus far.

Some comments from /r/shitpostemblem:

Jesus fucking Christ. He's always shown this horny, sometimes creepy demeanor, but I always imagined it as his YT persona, just for shits and giggles. This is unacceptable and unforgivable. No one should ever be submitted to what Goose went through. And calling these texts weird is an understatement

I'm shocked and saddened and hurt by this. Just the other day I was calling Chaz an asshole for demanding that Mangs say something about Goosa's story after he posted a video of his cool new watch and running Mangs off Twitter because he went to bed before Goosa's story. That did not age well.

Well, that was something. I wouldnā€™t have expected this from Mangs, he acted strangely sometimes but he looked like a decent guy. Weā€™ll see his side of the story, I guess. Anyway, I donā€™t take back what I said about Chazā€™s behaviour on Twitter.

I've already said my piece, I'm speechless. I'll be honest, I'm secrectly hoping this isn't true and Mangs' will show proof to why this is all untrue, but I doubt that will happen. This is a great loss to the FE community, out of all the allegations to have come out in the past weeks this one hits the hardest. If this is all true Mangs will have to suffer the consequences, and I won't feel a thing once his career crumbles. Fml.
