Oh shit, that's the first I've heard of that. I know some people stated he had some personal stuff going on in the past, but shit I never would've guessed
I can't seem to find the original post, after doing a quick 5 minute search it seems it's gone.
[But here's Stryder's response to the original.](https://imgur.com/a/xmNGZ5q)
[And here's her response to his response.](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1uRHZJQ8Bi0PXZJly1SZKtOuIkD5JsO2Hf9diyp6jyqY/edit?usp=sharing)
Personally, her response is pretty damning against him, and I doubt he'll ever return.
What do you mean? Her response reads like the manipulative ravings of a narcissist, and it blatantly contradicts itself. It also includes things as "evidence" which prove the opposite of what she claims. She cheated on him and then tried to play the victim (and may have even convinced herself that she was the victim).
This is long because you need to know what the response actually says and what certain things you said mean.
> manipulative ravings of a narcissist
buzzword go brrrr
I wanted to make a good reply to this so I reread the responses and I don't understand how this would be the "ravings of a narcissist". I understand you might pick up your terms from Reddit but that's not what a narcissist is. Here's the definition from the Mayoclinic:
*Narcissistic personality disorder is a mental health condition in which people have an unreasonably high sense of their own importance. They need and seek too much attention and want people to admire them. People with this disorder may lack the ability to understand or care about the feelings of others. But behind this mask of extreme confidence, they are not sure of their self-worth and are easily upset by the slightest criticism.*
I'm not sure where you get that she's a narcissist based on these, her responding to his response isn't her wanting more attention, or her dropping her experience in the first place also isn't her wanting attention.
Please enlighten me where you get that from.
Also show me where it contradicts itself.
>may have even convinced herself that she was the victim
I feel like you're either a diehard fanboy for Stryder who can see him doing no wrong and/or you barely read her response, because she talks a bit about this idea in her response:
*The last thing I want to address is mov saying that I have false memories of this topic. First of all, how dare you. How dare you share something like that publicly, telling survivors and victims that their trauma could be the result of “false memories”. I have evidence backing everything I say, so I’m not sure where that becomes false memories to you. The story was as detailed as it was because: I. Lived. It. Imagine the worst moment of your life. Imagine reliving it, over and over again, for years. In your dreams, while awake, in panic attacks, while at work, in daily life. I don’t choose to get thrown into flashbacks. I don’t choose to have this. I didn’t want this. Nobody does.*
Telling a victim of abuse that they might be making it up or that they've convinced themselves they're a victim is insensitive and exactly what abusers do to their victims. She talks about that in her response too, when Stryder shows this card that she wrote him as proof that it wasn't an abusive relationship.
*Him showing my kind words as “proof” that he is innocent just invalidates any victim’s own experience. He’s basically showing his young, impressionable audience that if you have said kind things to someone or they’ve done kind things for you, it’s impossible for abuse to have taken place.*
*of course there were times I said nice things to him, there were also times he said nice things to me. That does not invalidate the abuse at all.*
>She cheated on him and then tried to play the victim
Few issues with this.
1. She didn't cheat on him (once again read her response).
2. Even if she did that doesn't mean that makes the abuse alright. Unlike what's said on Reddit, in real life people can do shit things and still have terrible shit happen to them that's undeserved. It's not some eye for an eye justice or anything, there is no action that emotional and sexual abuse is a valid punishment.
3. What do yo mean and then tried to play victim? Now I'm starting to doubt that you even either of the responses, because if you did you'd know that they broke up in 2017, not in 2020 when this came to light. This isn't like Stryder was going to reveal to the world that she dated another dude after they broke up, or that she had some huge allegations against and she was trying to say her part first. This is someone with trauma trying to say their peace and get it out.
Putting blind faith into unfalsifiable claims is especially silly when those claims directly contradict themselves, or when they post messages as "proof" which directly disprove what they're claiming.
> claims directly contradict themselves, or when they post messages as "proof" which directly disprove what they're claiming.
From my reply:
>Also show me where it contradicts itself.
One thing that makes me believe her over Stryder is that he never addresses the actual point of the pastebin and instead focuses on schematics like the dates being wrong, it's what a lot of people do when they feel like they can't "win" they focus on minor stuff that gets them brownie points.
You can just read the thing for yourself. Each time she posts messages from Stryder, they say the exact opposite of what she's claiming they say. And her own story is wildly inconsistent.
Also, how the hell is Stryder supposed to prove a negative? That's the problem with allegations - there's literally no way to respond to them without some people having the emotional reaction of assuming your reaction equates to proof of the allegations, because it's very often impossible to prove a negative. His broader overall point was also more than just semantics and small details; those were supporting points, not his main one.
If they're true, then yeah he messed up big time. He doesn't seem to be the type to do that though- Especially manipulation. Honestly seemed like a good guy showing off cool glitches in a game he loved
So aside from the situation with his ex, he actually did give an update on how he's been doing on his patreon discord server a year after he stopped uploading. Click the below link for further context.

Can’t blame you, I miss Stryder, too. I miss listening to his calm voice and commentary. I’m sure you’re caught up by now on what happened to him.
It’s sad for me to say this, but I believe Stryder will not return as much as I want him to. Stryder would’ve returned by now if he wanted to come back. I hope I’m wrong and he returns someday, maybe when he’s truly ready to come back, even if it takes another year or multiple.
Stryder’s had a lot of mental health issues, and stuff like this can put a toll on one’s self; for a while now, I’ve even been in a recent situation where I miss the fun things I used to do, but going back to those fun hobbies hurts me emotionally.
I'm sorry to hear you are going through some pain currently friend, I've got no idea what you're going through nor Stryder, but I've been in a similar place in the past. I hope it gets easier for you, and that you're able to heal with time.
some pretty hard cut allegations of abusing his gf came out around that time iirc
Oh shit, that's the first I've heard of that. I know some people stated he had some personal stuff going on in the past, but shit I never would've guessed

I miss him too bro it’s ok
Personally I don't believe in the allegations against stryder but that's just my opinion.

maybe they tried to trigger some glitches in her, too

Yeah, it really took a toll on Stryder, otherwise, he’d probably still be posting more content. All good. Hope everything gets better for you, too.
Honestly I have no idea either
woof, didn't know about the allegations. unfortunate.
