I am so beyond proud of Johnny. Honestly. No jokes, Johnny went through TRENCHES to get his mental health better, and he did. And for that, I am so proud and forever will be. We love you, you're doing amazing.
As a victim of a way too friendly relationship with older men...the start of the apology video... makes me feel very very bad. Him saying "Oh it's fine I had adult friends when I was 16." made me immediately not trust him, as an adult he should know he has no reason to be talking to 16 year old girl. Especially in this day and age when you can talk to plenty of adults your own age. It's also such a red flag that he's saying his words are bad only out of context, hes entirely right that he should have not responded or blocked the girl. Okay, I'm farther in the video and he is totally victim blaming, "She made me look like the bad guy" is what hes trying to say here qnd it makes me feel unsettled.
Correct. It's one thing to say thanks for the support or something small but to have a full conversation in dms with someone that age is not a good look.
TRUE AFF, i had a "bff" that was older from when i was 12-14 and this is literally how it all went down (heavy on the making things about their own problems) (also i hope ur doing ok)
YES!! I also talked to adults online as a teenager (usually inappropriately), and OF COURSE as a teenager I didn't see anything wrong with it? As an adult it's VERY CLEAR and obvious that what happened in my teens was not okay and adults shouldn't have been engaging with me that way. It's not even like something that you have to be told, it's a perspective you naturally gain as you become the adult so I don't buy his bullshit excuse of "wELL, I had adult friends when I was 16", I also wonder if his adult friends spoke to him sexually? He didn't explicitly say, but if not then it's completely wrong to compare having normal convos with adults as a teen to having a sexual convo with adults as a teen. That made him look even worse in my eyes. He's 100% victim blaming from the very start, even him saying "SHE reached out to me" like dude I'm sure many young fans reach out to you, or even say inappropriate things to you, that's not an invite to prey on kids.
important notes: he was 35 when the conversations happened. he said last year because it was 2023, but it was like 2 months ago. the discord messages were proven false ages ago and no one is talking about them. he brought them up to distract from the real situation. the victim's statement mentioned was written by him (he says he just reviewed/edited it but he wrote more than she did) he is still in contact with the victim and lastly, the victim was high during several of their conversations and he still made advances on her. also he's changed his story many, many times. callimara made a good video covering it if you're interested
That's what I'm saying broo😭😭 ughhhhh in his video it's all thei little kids agreeing with him like bro I guess it makes sense it's somehow still relevant so more kids watch it still but damn
I'm not defending Yandere Dev in any way, but why are you saying the game has only been updated a few times when it gets updated frequently and has changed drastically over the years?
@@jinnyyyyyyy he started working on this game literally a decade ago. He used to receive also a lot of money from yet, and also used to stream hours of hours of his just playing games and spending his money on weird stuff like expensive s** dolls.

The beginning was such a red flag. “When I was 16 I had 20-30 year old friends” he definitely knows or should know he can’t be talking to a 16 year old at his grown age. It’s so sad how often things like this happen
Such a cringe and scripted apology. As soon as he found out her age, he should of immediately not engage in any further conversation. Thanks Johnnie for always bringing your honest perspective on these things.
it is disgusting to see yandere dev having had said horrible things and blaming it on his mental health. i am not mentally well and it has never occurred to me to literally groom someone. even if it wasn’t his intent, or he was set up to say specific things, he still groomed someone and he has no right to defend himself. he was wrong. thank you for talking about this johnnie
yandere dev has been "cancelled" since like 2018 for so many things (including stuff like threatening ppl, basically scamming his fans and more) so even if he's being honest in this video we should not just feel bad for him and forgive him
Literally bro it's so annoying there has bas so many more cases of him and being weird twords kids this one has been exposed big time and so annoying. All those va that left after "this current situation" is so annoying to me since he has been exposed for grooming before this time it just blew up and could make them a bad image. Anyway so funny to me he said he's been working on the game too hard the game looks the same since I was like still in middle school and I finished now
Not that he's even honest in this video! The document that yandere Dev mentions at the beginning is something he coerced the victim into making, both he himself in the description as well as the victim admit this. The victim has since retracted what they said in that document (having done so before yandere Dev released his "apology"), but i guess he conveniently forgot about that part 😒
Yeah because how tf does a literal CHILD manipulate a grown man? They can’t! And I swear he’s only saying sorry because he was caught, not because he feels bad.
This man hasn’t made bank in years and now he’s just trying to save his skin from his already depleting status with this shit excuse of an apology. Thank you Johhnie for covering this topic. We all support you so much, and love to see how far you’ve come.
As a victim. I think he shouldn't have in GENERAL talked to that 16 years old girl. Who cares if you wanted only a 'Normal conversation'? She is a minor, you are an adult. I hope that girl recovers.
I think it could be possible to be nice and helpful without being creepy. Part of the reason he was able to groom her was cuz she was a vulnerable person with a bad home life and bad dad. It’s also possible she was reaching out in part due to a desire to have an older guy take on a role that she felt her dad wasn’t filling. She might not have reached out with the intent he tried to make her out to be. It doesn’t really matter why she reached out or what she wanted. The adult of the situation knows better, and it trying to act as if he didn’t and it’s ok.
If you look at the "victims statement" which he admitted in the description of the video to have "given feedback on" (in other words told her how to edit it and coerced her altogether) it literally says he wasn't grooming her cause "that's just how he talks to his guy friends" and "he has autism or something and struggles with knowing when to open his mouth.", also the wording "if anyone is going to throw around the word groomer, my INTENTIONAL MANIPULATION for his attention fits that definition far more than what he did with his questionable jokes." goes to show it is quite literally victim blaming the ENTIRE time.
@@mailekeech7595hi! I’m actually knowledgeable about yandev and this grooming situation. He definitely isn’t sorry, because he is still in contact with the victim :) also, the victim statement he mentioned, he and his friend (who also groomed her) wrote and edited it.
@@deceit9184 Exactly! Yandev has a LONG history of being a weirdo on the internet. There’s no universe where I believe this man has actually decided to randomly change for the better.
i used to have friends that were in their 20s when i was 12 and they would have weird conversations with me like he did, so watching this is just such a red flag. it’s the fact he continued talking to her when he knew it was weird and he “wasn’t entirely comfortable with it”. it’s the way he knew her age and continued to have the conversations with a sexual or romantic topic is honestly disgusting. And saying the reason you did it because of your mental health is honestly stupid, like i feel bad abt his mental health but that doesn’t hide the fact you were talking to a 16 year old with sexual conversations.
he somehow talks with the same cadence and mannerisms of Stanford pines from gravity falls and when you don't actually look at the screen and just listen it's kinda freaky 💀
In the beginning as soon as I heard “When I was 16 I had online friends that were in their 20s and 30s so it didn’t feel weird to me” made me feel uncomfortable cause being a grown adult it’s really un-reasonable to talk to a 16 YEAR OLD child, it’s also really weird and suspicious cause of the things going on these years.. but idk 🤷♀️ ,thanks for posting YOUR opinion though Johnnie 🖤🖤
being 33 and having 16 year olds as friends and having inappropriate talks with them saying it's normal and then saying age doesn't define if we're adults or not is definitely suspicious and it's not helping him with the rumors
As a victim of something similar. (A roblox game dev I know cringe.) groomed me from the age of 14-17 I’m glad that people are realizing that this behavior is not okay what so ever. It’s always important to have bigger creators speak out about things like this. It defiently helps people reach out more So thank you ❤️
It’s his responsibility as an adult is to not respond even if she’s bringing the inappropriate topics (which is probably false) like bro having friends in their 20s and 30s at 16 is not realistic 💀and he was also taking advantage of his position of power to talk to her which is indeed considered grooming.
13:03 very mature take I agree. People act like their is only one true and correct answer when things don’t work that way it’s much more nuanced. Preparing to respond is not in anyway less sincere than a spontaneous respond. I like that you think for yourself and not easily swayed about what people in the chat thinks 👍🏼.
being friends with minors or even chatting with minors online past a certain age is giving red flag immediately.... like immediately if she told him she was a minor, he should have been polite, but been closed off/limited contact. its possible and easy to acknowledge fans politely and engage with your audience without building unhealthy relationships with kids. why are all these men the same (at least the stories I've heard) johnnie thank you for covering this topic
Just found your channel and you seem really cool! I like the aesthetic to your physical appearance, and also you seem to be a TH-camr that actually has a brain. I specifically avoid TH-camrs that are viral for acting a fool on camera. But you appear to actually be a chill and cool TH-camr. It is needless to say that I've subscribed.
He was 100% aware. He’s even said that his dream woman is someone who’s childlike and malleable. Predator. He made a whole game based on school girls where you can take photos of their undies as a form of currency. On another note, he likes anime and I’ll just come out and say it, any adult who loves anime should be on a watch list.
I will say tbh, as someone who was 16 a while ago (I'm 19) it would have been pretty painful if every person over 18 just refused to talk to me as soon as I told them my age. It's just ridiculous. It was a big relief for me to turn 18 cuz I felt like I was just not welcome anywhere at 16/17, everything and everywhere was 18+. I honestly don't know if isolating minors from adults is the right way to protect them. But yeah, I've had adults flirt with me and it sucked (Usually guys I met irl and then got the whatsapp, 20 somethings when I was 17. And usually straight men and I'm a trans guy so add dysphoria to it). I would usually just stop talking to them tho :v As an adult, if a kid started talking innapropriate stuff, I would probably cut it off, and stop talking to them if it continued. Definitely not feed the convo. Accidently entretaining an innapropriate convo was a mistake I was doing at 17. Not something I would do at 30. Or even now tbh. Also, this is the guy who made,,,, well, yandere simulator, so... I don't doubt he could have been innapropriate with this girl at all. That whole game is about minors doing innaproprate shit. Oh. And yes, this is how he talks.
Adults can off course talk with minors IF there is a certain respectful distance set in place from the adult! Adults need to have in mind who they are talking too and adjust their behaviour accordingly.
I read the letter which said she was manipulating him to talk to her (didn’t say why), but she also said her friend, now ex, took clips and cut them to make him sound bad in order to get views on her dead YT channel and that his jokes were awkward b/c he was “socially inept” b/c he had “autism or something”. The letter sounds like a college-aged person wrote it, so I’m wondering if she really wrote it.
As someone who has had severe mental health struggles my entire life, went long periods of time without taking proper care of myself, and abused several different drugs on top of it all.. not once has my bad mental state caused me to behave in a predatory manner. So I call bullshit on using his mental health as an excuse.
Hes such a liar i sent him an email with a drawing attached when i was 13 and he never anwsered me 🤷♀️ But idk to me i feel like he was always aware of everyones age cause he had drawing contests where i think we had to submit our age to enter which is what i was doing
i just wanna say i love your videos johnnie, i support you and i’m glad your mental health is getting better and i wish you the best! your videos and the videos you make with jake make me smile. also you do such a great job with being so respectful in all your videos where you’re addressing something like this.
It’s the fact that he’s trying to make himself victimized by saying things like “she set me up” and “she manipulated me” like he’s not a grown ass adult and should not have been talking to a child in the first place??? It’s so crazy how predators like this can just pin everything on an actual child and people will still sit here and defend these type of people. I thought we were done pinning back disgusting actions from adults onto actual children, but I guess I live under a fucking rock LMAO.
I can see where everyone's coming from here. I really like how Johnnie approaches these topics. He is really cool. Smart, and I feel like he really knows his stuff. He's really fricking good and I feel like I can see where he's coming from. But that's me though. Love the video Johnnie hope everything's going good with you. ❤❤❤❤
Johnnie in case you see this, thank you. I’m struggle busing rn and ur videos keep my head occupied with something other than my own thoughts I know it’s parasocial or whatever but knowing that you’ve pushed through similar shit gives me some hope 🫶 love you man
was curious about what this guy had actually done so i went and found the audio clips of what he said to that girl. need to go scrub my ears out now and this dude should be thrown under the jail
"When I was 16-" When I was 16, I was too busy with high school, football games, dances, and arcades to fool around with an adult. Thank goodness Discord and Yandere Simulator did not exist back in 2003. YandereDev's "apology" is pathetic. No wonder why he ended up removing his "apology" video. it says a lot.
an adult should know that talking to a 16 year old girl is not appropriate, even if they talked to adults at that age? as a mature human you should have the morals to understand that discussing inappropriate topics or making inappropriate jokes with a minor is not okay and will be seen as predatory. you can’t be set up if you don’t interact with minors without professional boundaries.
when someone is accused of something serious like grooming, and their ‘excuse’ starts to be about how they were lonely and depressed, is when i stop listening .
i think a big issue here is his downplaying of the situation- while this was technically “last year” as in- in the year 2023, it was about 3 ish months ago. He is still in contact with the girl and provided “critique” on her statement she was putting out about him. Also the screenshots he provided of someone “pretending to be him” are false, and are known to be so, but there are screenshots and recordings of a ton of snapchat messages and calls etc that are frankly disgusting that he left out of his “apology” entirely. He has a massive track record of being frankly horrible in his actions. I do hope he has changed, but not to better him, to better those who are still under his influence. This is not a person you want to associate with, groomer or no.
He tries to make himself sound like the victim and its actually ridiculous. Saying first that he thought it was ok to be friends with a minor bc when he was younger he had online friends in their "twenties" is dumb, because a lot of kids do that then grow up and realize how creepy and weird that is majority of the time! He's also thirty something and knows better. The way he constantly says she had "mature humor" or was like an "adult" at times is wild. And he talks as if she was the controller over their topics and such and he just helplessly went along with it. If youre uncomfortable with a minor talking to you inappropriately block them, set boundaries! He acts as if the power dynamics are switched, when SHE was the child and the FAN smh
i love how johnnie makes these vids bc he can acknowledge all sides like when he says “people can fake conversations” but also saying “it’s not right to have these convos” i appreciate someone who can see all sides and doesn’t act like they know what’s happening when they dont
I know what’s happening though. He specifically selected those edited screenshots to misdirect us from the ones that are real, that he even admitted to in a blog post of his.
as a victim, FUCK yandere dev or whatever the hell he calls himself. to bring his mental health into this situation and blame it on that is completely bizarre and he was so clearly trying to guilt trip. he's also victim blaming .. what the fork
Hey I honestly an glad that instead of changing the subject and victimising himself like everyone else on the internet, he actually addresses his actions and recognised his faults and is trying to grow on them, although he did bad shit he's still trying to be better. I think it was the best apology video I've seen yet
The thing about Yandere Dev is not only did he steal the majority of the designs in his game, hes a mega groomer and stuff has been coming out about him since like 2019 (the earliest i can recall hearing about it as someone who watched playthroughs and cosplays of Yandere Simulator)
watching johnnies lives and vids makes me so much happier, my dog died recently and this distracts me from everything and distracts me from wanting to leave. thank you so much johnnie ❤
As a victim of these topics, this apology broke me. This video, and Dream's made me feel weird. People go through shit, yeah, but making (possibly) false allegations is just crazy. The fact that some content creators are going out of their way to talk to a fan, or two shows everyone how crazy some fans can be, and how small things can be taken out of context. As someone who wants to be a content creator, i hope, and know that i wont do things like this. Because if I'm 34, and talking to a 16-year-old fan (not that I ever would) it can be taken out of spite, or out of context. I feel so bad for these creators, yes, but they shouldn't have done it either way. I hope that everything goes well for these creators, and they learn, but its scary to know that i watched them with such comfort. Its just crazy. On a more positive note, Johnnie, thank you for giving your thoughts on this, and I'm so proud you've come this far. I hope you continue to do great things, and you strive to be positively, absolutely angelic. Take care of yourself, Johnnie.
What I got from this video was him trying to make everyone think he didn’t know what he was doing when he definitely did he had inappropriate conversations with this young girl and asked some very disturbing questions and basically saying he only did it because he didn’t have many friends or was in a bad metal health Instead of fully admitting to what he did he instead made excuses I get you could have a bad mental health but saying u didn’t have much friends is not an excuse to do this to a very young girl.
i feel like you’d have to be living under a rock to think that nothing bad could come out from you as a 33 year old texting a 16 year old.
Exactly. Like that is very clearly a problem especially in his setting.
Well I mean he hadn’t left his house for like 10 years so he basically was.🥶
He knew how old the girl was and he still kept texting her, he probably knew deep down that it was wrong
I am so beyond proud of Johnny. Honestly. No jokes, Johnny went through TRENCHES to get his mental health better, and he did. And for that, I am so proud and forever will be. We love you, you're doing amazing.

I love Johnnie :)❤️
Hey at least he admitted it instead of pulling out a ukelele
@@a_p3rs0n.24 he did the ukulele thing "not a groomer just just loser" if you watched the whole video, just without singing it 😂
@@jorjiegonzales9680thank you for not just hating him for him making a stupid mistake

"sorry for talking to a 16 yr old girl, now pls click the link in bio to play my game!"
That man is not sorry for anything. It’s desperate damage control from a guy who can’t make money off of the internet anymore.
How do you know that
@@mailekeech7595hi! I’m actually knowledgeable about yandev and this grooming situation. He definitely isn’t sorry, because he is still in contact with the victim :) also, the victim statement he mentioned, he and his friend (who also groomed her) wrote and edited it.
@@Andromyway she says she’s fine but she’s very clearly manipulated and impacted in some way. I highly doubt this situation isn’t traumatic for her
@@deceit9184 Exactly! Yandev has a LONG history of being a weirdo on the internet. There’s no universe where I believe this man has actually decided to randomly change for the better.
All the excuses and victim blaming are huge red flags! Johnnie, thank you for sharing your opinion on this!
i used to have friends that were in their 20s when i was 12 and they would have weird conversations with me like he did, so watching this is just such a red flag. it’s the fact he continued talking to her when he knew it was weird and he “wasn’t entirely comfortable with it”. it’s the way he knew her age and continued to have the conversations with a sexual or romantic topic is honestly disgusting. And saying the reason you did it because of your mental health is honestly stupid, like i feel bad abt his mental health but that doesn’t hide the fact you were talking to a 16 year old with sexual conversations.
He actively acknowledges its horrible and he shouldn't be doing it. He even tries blaming the whole thing on the victim in the Snapchat screenshots.
“Im not a groomer, im just a loser” in a different font
I love when Johnnie roasts horrible people. best part of my day.
He’s just sorry he got caught 🙌 also love the way he waited til 2024 so he could say “last year” like it wasn’t that recent
he somehow talks with the same cadence and mannerisms of Stanford pines from gravity falls and when you don't actually look at the screen and just listen it's kinda freaky 💀
johnnie youre such an amazing person like i genuinely dont know how anyone could ever hate on you
I HATE HATE HATEEE that hes blaming his mental state for saying innapropriate things to a minor
In the beginning as soon as I heard “When I was 16 I had online friends that were in their 20s and 30s so it didn’t feel weird to me” made me feel uncomfortable cause being a grown adult it’s really un-reasonable to talk to a 16 YEAR OLD child, it’s also really weird and suspicious cause of the things going on these years.. but idk 🤷♀️ ,thanks for posting YOUR opinion though Johnnie 🖤🖤
being 33 and having 16 year olds as friends and having inappropriate talks with them saying it's normal and then saying age doesn't define if we're adults or not is definitely suspicious and it's not helping him with the rumors
As a victim of something similar.
(A roblox game dev I know cringe.) groomed me from the age of 14-17
I’m glad that people are realizing that this behavior is not okay what so ever.
It’s always important to have bigger creators speak out about things like this.
It defiently helps people reach out more
So thank you ❤️
I don’t like you
honey im so sorry no one deserves that hope ur doing better now :(
@@igzyy I’m doing a lot better thank you so much 🩷🩷
awww im so happy for u and just genuinely know if you ever need someone to talk to im here even tho we dont know each other💓@@GairfieldButCooll
Been crying for about 30 minutes and this actually made me feel better.
Love ya, mate ♥️
It’s his responsibility as an adult is to not respond even if she’s bringing the inappropriate topics (which is probably false) like bro having friends in their 20s and 30s at 16 is not realistic 💀and he was also taking advantage of his position of power to talk to her which is indeed considered grooming.
You helped me so much with my anxiety 🖤
13:03 very mature take I agree. People act like their is only one true and correct answer when things don’t work that way it’s much more nuanced. Preparing to respond is not in anyway less sincere than a spontaneous respond. I like that you think for yourself and not easily swayed about what people in the chat thinks 👍🏼.
Having bad mental health is no excuse to text a 16 year old girl as a 35 year old man.😶
it’s always a good day when johnnie posts
That apology was so bad, he needs to pull out the ukulele
I'm not defending him or something, at the last he apologized
at 30 years old there's no way in hell that he should be even talking to a girl that young, sketchy situation in General boy what a whole mess
I love when this lovely elderly latina grandma breaks out of the retirement home to film for us🤗🤗🤗
being friends with minors or even chatting with minors online past a certain age is giving red flag immediately.... like immediately if she told him she was a minor, he should have been polite, but been closed off/limited contact. its possible and easy to acknowledge fans politely and engage with your audience without building unhealthy relationships with kids. why are all these men the same (at least the stories I've heard)
johnnie thank you for covering this topic
Just found your channel and you seem really cool! I like the aesthetic to your physical appearance, and also you seem to be a TH-camr that actually has a brain. I specifically avoid TH-camrs that are viral for acting a fool on camera. But you appear to actually be a chill and cool TH-camr. It is needless to say that I've subscribed.
Not him IMMEDIATELY blaming it on the fan smh :(
He was 100% aware. He’s even said that his dream woman is someone who’s childlike and malleable. Predator. He made a whole game based on school girls where you can take photos of their undies as a form of currency. On another note, he likes anime and I’ll just come out and say it, any adult who loves anime should be on a watch list.
oh ! 😀😟 ive heard of that ‘game’ before but i never bothered to actually look into what it was about but wow thats so gross
It sounds like how every other groomer/pedo/etc tries to do damage control. He's definitely guilty of SOMETHING.
I will say tbh, as someone who was 16 a while ago (I'm 19) it would have been pretty painful if every person over 18 just refused to talk to me as soon as I told them my age. It's just ridiculous. It was a big relief for me to turn 18 cuz I felt like I was just not welcome anywhere at 16/17, everything and everywhere was 18+. I honestly don't know if isolating minors from adults is the right way to protect them.
But yeah, I've had adults flirt with me and it sucked (Usually guys I met irl and then got the whatsapp, 20 somethings when I was 17. And usually straight men and I'm a trans guy so add dysphoria to it). I would usually just stop talking to them tho :v
As an adult, if a kid started talking innapropriate stuff, I would probably cut it off, and stop talking to them if it continued. Definitely not feed the convo. Accidently entretaining an innapropriate convo was a mistake I was doing at 17. Not something I would do at 30. Or even now tbh.
Also, this is the guy who made,,,, well, yandere simulator, so... I don't doubt he could have been innapropriate with this girl at all. That whole game is about minors doing innaproprate shit.
Oh. And yes, this is how he talks.
Adults can off course talk with minors IF there is a certain respectful distance set in place from the adult! Adults need to have in mind who they are talking too and adjust their behaviour accordingly.
I read the letter which said she was manipulating him to talk to her (didn’t say why), but she also said her friend, now ex, took clips and cut them to make him sound bad in order to get views on her dead YT channel and that his jokes were awkward b/c he was “socially inept” b/c he had “autism or something”. The letter sounds like a college-aged person wrote it, so I’m wondering if she really wrote it.
16 is damn near college age :v
She didn’t write it, it’s been confirmed that yandev and his friend co-wrote and edited it.
the victim was coached by both yandev and his music producer
yandere dev try not to victim blame challenge
Crying and having a horrible panick attack right now and just seeing Johnnie posted makes me feel a bit better. ILY Johnnie.
The apology sounded so Ai ngl-
As someone who has had severe mental health struggles my entire life, went long periods of time without taking proper care of myself, and abused several different drugs on top of it all.. not once has my bad mental state caused me to behave in a predatory manner. So I call bullshit on using his mental health as an excuse.
Hes such a liar i sent him an email with a drawing attached when i was 13 and he never anwsered me 🤷♀️
But idk to me i feel like he was always aware of everyones age cause he had drawing contests where i think we had to submit our age to enter which is what i was doing
I love how you critic videos as you still point out the obvious to the chat
i just wanna say i love your videos johnnie, i support you and i’m glad your mental health is getting better and i wish you the best! your videos and the videos you make with jake make me smile. also you do such a great job with being so respectful in all your videos where you’re addressing something like this.
i swear when Johnnie posts it works better that my antidepressants
It’s the fact that he’s trying to make himself victimized by saying things like “she set me up” and “she manipulated me” like he’s not a grown ass adult and should not have been talking to a child in the first place??? It’s so crazy how predators like this can just pin everything on an actual child and people will still sit here and defend these type of people. I thought we were done pinning back disgusting actions from adults onto actual children, but I guess I live under a fucking rock LMAO.
I can see where everyone's coming from here. I really like how Johnnie approaches these topics. He is really cool. Smart, and I feel like he really knows his stuff. He's really fricking good and I feel like I can see where he's coming from. But that's me though. Love the video Johnnie hope everything's going good with you. ❤❤❤❤
hey, at least he actually apologized for what he did unlike the other "apologies"
Johnnie in case you see this, thank you. I’m struggle busing rn and ur videos keep my head occupied with something other than my own thoughts I know it’s parasocial or whatever but knowing that you’ve pushed through similar shit gives me some hope 🫶 love you man
was curious about what this guy had actually done so i went and found the audio clips of what he said to that girl. need to go scrub my ears out now and this dude should be thrown under the jail
"When I was 16-"
When I was 16, I was too busy with high school, football games, dances, and arcades to fool around with an adult. Thank goodness Discord and Yandere Simulator did not exist back in 2003.
YandereDev's "apology" is pathetic. No wonder why he ended up removing his "apology" video. it says a lot.
love when this tina posts, makes my day!!
Ur posts make our days a bit better, but like someone else commented the other day, it's okay to take a break if u need one. Take care, love u
an adult should know that talking to a 16 year old girl is not appropriate, even if they talked to adults at that age? as a mature human you should have the morals to understand that discussing inappropriate topics or making inappropriate jokes with a minor is not okay and will be seen as predatory. you can’t be set up if you don’t interact with minors without professional boundaries.
He sounds like the male version of Siri 🤣
Johnnie you make my day! ❤
OMG I WAS HOPING YOU WERE GUNNA DO THIS OMGGGG
Your videos always make me laugh even if I’m crying!! Thank you for being the best artist/youtuber!! You’ll forever be my idol.
when someone is accused of something serious like grooming, and their ‘excuse’ starts to be about how they were lonely and depressed, is when i stop listening .
WAKE UP EVERYONE
JHONNIE POSTED
IM UPPP!
IM UP
I HAVE AWOKEN 🗣️🗣️
IM AWAKE
Yandere dev is the guy who made a video game where you take pics of school girls under their skirt in return for prizes….
But he didn’t make the game himself so one of the people who help him make the game
@@09edits14 maybe but it’s still a weird concept to put in a game no matter what 😭
He sounds like an audio book or like he’s reading from a teleprompter
BRO REALLY DID HIS APOLOGY IN THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR
bro waited until january 1st so he could say "last year" 😭
I love watching these youtube vids of johnnie’s and i can literally just sit down and watch these vids idk it’s just a vibe
it’s a good day when johnnie posts🙌🏻🙌🏻🖤
the manipulation is crazy. the fact he had to be like "im sorry for being depressed 😕" like boohoo grow tf up groomer
i think a big issue here is his downplaying of the situation- while this was technically “last year” as in- in the year 2023, it was about 3 ish months ago. He is still in contact with the girl and provided “critique” on her statement she was putting out about him. Also the screenshots he provided of someone “pretending to be him” are false, and are known to be so, but there are screenshots and recordings of a ton of snapchat messages and calls etc that are frankly disgusting that he left out of his “apology” entirely. He has a massive track record of being frankly horrible in his actions. I do hope he has changed, but not to better him, to better those who are still under his influence. This is not a person you want to associate with, groomer or no.
He sounds like a narrator on Investigation ID lol
Fr 😭
He tries to make himself sound like the victim and its actually ridiculous. Saying first that he thought it was ok to be friends with a minor bc when he was younger he had online friends in their "twenties" is dumb, because a lot of kids do that then grow up and realize how creepy and weird that is majority of the time! He's also thirty something and knows better. The way he constantly says she had "mature humor" or was like an "adult" at times is wild. And he talks as if she was the controller over their topics and such and he just helplessly went along with it. If youre uncomfortable with a minor talking to you inappropriately block them, set boundaries! He acts as if the power dynamics are switched, when SHE was the child and the FAN smh
i love how johnnie makes these vids bc he can acknowledge all sides like when he says “people can fake conversations” but also saying “it’s not right to have these convos” i appreciate someone who can see all sides and doesn’t act like they know what’s happening when they dont
I know what’s happening though. He specifically selected those edited screenshots to misdirect us from the ones that are real, that he even admitted to in a blog post of his.
Not the dating simulators at the start 💀💀💀
The victim blaming is INSANE.
My day gets a hundred times better when Johnnie post
this is like his 30th time "apologizing"
0:04 YANDEER DEV IS CRAZYYYYYY
as a victim, FUCK yandere dev or whatever the hell he calls himself. to bring his mental health into this situation and blame it on that is completely bizarre and he was so clearly trying to guilt trip. he's also victim blaming .. what the fork
why does he look like an ai while apologizing 😭
Hey I honestly an glad that instead of changing the subject and victimising himself like everyone else on the internet, he actually addresses his actions and recognised his faults and is trying to grow on them, although he did bad shit he's still trying to be better. I think it was the best apology video I've seen yet
The thing about Yandere Dev is not only did he steal the majority of the designs in his game, hes a mega groomer and stuff has been coming out about him since like 2019 (the earliest i can recall hearing about it as someone who watched playthroughs and cosplays of Yandere Simulator)
watching johnnies lives and vids makes me so much happier, my dog died recently and this distracts me from everything and distracts me from wanting to leave. thank you so much johnnie ❤
BRO IM SO EXCITED TO WATCH THIS JOHNNIE IS THE BEST FOR NEWS 🖤🖤
SAME! 🖤
As a victim of these topics, this apology broke me. This video, and Dream's made me feel weird. People go through shit, yeah, but making (possibly) false allegations is just crazy. The fact that some content creators are going out of their way to talk to a fan, or two shows everyone how crazy some fans can be, and how small things can be taken out of context. As someone who wants to be a content creator, i hope, and know that i wont do things like this. Because if I'm 34, and talking to a 16-year-old fan (not that I ever would) it can be taken out of spite, or out of context. I feel so bad for these creators, yes, but they shouldn't have done it either way. I hope that everything goes well for these creators, and they learn, but its scary to know that i watched them with such comfort. Its just crazy.
On a more positive note, Johnnie, thank you for giving your thoughts on this, and I'm so proud you've come this far. I hope you continue to do great things, and you strive to be positively, absolutely angelic. Take care of yourself, Johnnie.
What I got from this video was him trying to make everyone think he didn’t know what he was doing when he definitely did he had inappropriate conversations with this young girl and asked some very disturbing questions and basically saying he only did it because he didn’t have many friends or was in a bad metal health Instead of fully admitting to what he did he instead made excuses I get you could have a bad mental health but saying u didn’t have much friends is not an excuse to do this to a very young girl.
I never expected Johnnie to react to Yandere Dev’s apology vid
Your videos make life worth it. Thank you for bringing me happiness ❤
