My take on the Chuggaaconroy situation
A few days ago, LadyEmily, a creator who works as an writer for Sarah Z., spoke out about her negative experiences with Emile, known online as Chuggaaconroy.
I have been a fan of Emile’s content for almost as long as I’ve watched YouTube. Emile’s channel was the first I’ve ever subscribed to, back in 2008 when I was 6 years old. Today, following MasaeAnela’s account, I am unsubscribing from Chuggaaconroy- and I implore you to do the same.
When Lady Emily’s account first came out, I was mostly in disbelief. There was a very clear dissonance between the Emile in the messages shown, and the Emile I know from the videos. However, I didn’t deny that these allegations could very well be real.
I’ve watched this guy’s content for over a decade now, but I cannot claim to know him personally. His online persona being nice doesn’t mean his actual self is without fault. What I didn’t really buy in Emily’s statement was the accusations that this happened to more people than just her.
Mostly because she didn’t provide any proof of the sort, nor was any other account of this type of behavior from Emile, public as of yet. So when MasaeAnela, a persona who’s been associated with Emile for years now, claims the same things happened to her- that’s when I decided it was over.
Why did Masae decide to speak out now? It was simply because Chuggaaconroy has been a recognizable YouTube figure for years, and has amassed a very loyal following. Going against Emile is not a wise decision, not because his follower base is stupid or immature, like the fanbase of say, DreamWasTaken. It’s moreso that his fanbase spans a very wide range of people, and has been amassed for so long. People are attached to Chugga because he was a known figure for well over a decade of YouTube.
This is why #WeAreWithChuggaaconroy was trending at one point, and likely the reason why it took Masae and so many others such a long time to speak out, until now.
Masae opened the door, and now multiplie accounts of Chugga’s negative behavior are being released. I’ve been subscribed to Chugga for 15 years, but now I see how much fame changed the man. As someone who subscribed to Emile’s channel because of his positivity and passion towards a topic I was interested in, as someone who tried games merely based on his recommendations, and as someone who has Emile to thank for my current interests - I am unsubscribing from Chuggaaconroy, and I implore you to do the same.
Stand with the victims.

Love conquers All! A-
Whoa! What's this?!
Well, things may have changed since the last time, but I'm sure TheRunawayGuys will still be the best of friends! (Hopefully)
In Kirby Star Allies!

E: Ohh…? Come hither, fellows, and lend me your gazes!
J: …What is all this?
T: Cars are heaped upon each other as if to form a tower.
Now that the game's been out long enough to get a grasp on personalities for real, I drew TheRunawayGuys Limbus characters! (Again!)
Emile is Don Quixote, Tim is Yi Sang, and Jon is Gregor (fellow Sinners, ignore he's replacing Sinclair for the scene I drew)

18, 19 and 20!
18. three most recent emojis go!
🫡🥺🔥
19. recommend a youtube channel you subscribe to (or a streamer/gamer on another platform)
my most favorite game channel is the runaway guys, i adore them and their three individual channels as well: protonjon, chuggaaconroy, and nintendocaprisun. i’d recommend all four really
20. top three things you'd like to buy for yourself right now
ooooo of course now everything i’ve ever wanted has left my brain 😂 this was hard!!!
- i’ve been on the hunt for a pair of jordan 4’s and now that i have a pair they’re SO comfy that i want another pair
- in a perfect world i’d love to buy some packs if not a booster box of some vintage pokemon cards (HS triumphant comes to mind especially or the gen 3 era of sets)
- i would LOVE a new easel!! i’ve had mine for so long and it never quite was all together to begin with but it just does not balance well anymore 😭 sami if you see this, that’s why i haven’t worked on the commission you asked me to do a year ago

Another picture of me redoing old TRG art from when they played Mario Party 7, this time instead of Pyramid Park being Shantae flavored, it's Monster Prom!
