I want to address the thread about my tweets here, since this is where a lot of people found out, instead of only posting on Twitter.
First, the screenshots are real. On September 25, when someone called Kanye a Nazi, I replied āonly makes him more based.ā Iām not going to pretend I didnāt write it or that it means something else.
I know this wasnāt years ago. It was less than a month ago, and Iām aware of that. In my earlier statement I wrote about people taking things out of context and digging through my past, and that made it sound like this was some old thing Iād grown out of a long time ago. That wasnāt fair to the people reading it, and a lot of you were right to call it out. I should have been upfront about the timing from the start.
For context, and Iām not saying this to excuse it: Kanye is an artist Iāve listened to way too much, and that reply came from me fanboying over him in the dumbest way possible. It was one of the edgy jokes I used to make. It wasnāt a serious political opinion, and it wasnāt me saying Nazis are good. But I understand that intent only goes so far. When you joke about something like that publicly, nobody has a reason to read it as a joke, especially people who have actually been targeted by that ideology.
I donāt support Nazi ideology. I have nothing against Jewish people. I know that saying this right after those tweets doesnāt carry much weight on its own, and Iām not expecting it to.
I also deleted a reply after it got linked here. And obviously deleting it didnāt change anything, and it made it look like I was trying to hide instead of dealing with it. I just didn't want them to stay on my profile since I am ashamed of them.
To Jewish people in this community, and to anyone who was offended or disgusted by what I wrote: Iām sorry. Hurting anyone was never my intention, but I understand that it did, and thatās on me.
To the people who supported the port and then found out about this I get why you feel let down. Some of you defended me when the harassment started, and then this came out. You donāt owe me forgiveness, and whether you believe me or not is up to you.
About the harassment, the death threats and the attempts to get my accounts shut down were real, and I still donāt think anyone deserves that. But that doesnāt cancel out what I said. Looking back, I wrote my statement in a way that made me look like I was only a victim here, and thatās not the full picture.
Over the last day Iāve thought a lot about how I come across online. A lot of what I post comes from trying to be edgy for no reason, and I can see now how easily that turns into who people think you are. Thatās on me to fix, and Iāll be more careful about what I put out there.
Iām not posting this to win anyone back. Iām posting it because I owe an apology in the same place people found out, and because Iād rather say it directly than have it keep coming out through screenshots.
As I said in my statement, Iāll be spending a lot less time on P.T. PC Port after 1.0.8. Iām going to keep working on Silent Hill 3. If you want to judge me on what I do from here, thatās fair.
