you may have noticed that animation has never been more in-demand & in the zeitgeist and yet, seemingly, never have media conglomerates been less willing to produce it. you may also notice these guys get multimillion dollar severance packages after they gut a studio. there is probably no connection

not to be harsh but if your reaction to people being upset that someone committed sexual assault is "do we cancel as many people as we can?" i do not want to be left alone in a room with you.

like even throwing aside whether or not it's ethical to continue watching his videos. i just can't enjoy them anymore. does rehabilitation mean continuing to watch videos that i can't enjoy anymore?

it was smart of jacob geller to only post about what he did to his 50k followers on here instead of to his 1.5 million youtube subs or on his patreon. that way fewer people know about it and he limits the financial hit

This was a great article but I think this part in particular encapsulates what I feel is the real problem with this "what to do with Jacob Geller" discourse. He lied to us all because he wanted to make money as an influential video essayist. Tl;dr most YouTubers are scumbags.

he shouldn't have built himself a public facing career in the first place. the question of when and how he should have disclosed it to the public while being respectful to the victim would not be an issue if he didn't decide to become a public figure in the first place.

cutting ties with someone who has done wrong is not incompatible with restorative justice. no one owes you a relationship or a platform or support. restorative justice does not mean you have to continue associating with someone who has done something terrible but tells you they regret it.

My take on the Jacob Geller thing as an SA survivor and a UNC alum is that sure, we can have conversations about rehabilitation, etc. But I also think that you are not owed a platform after that comes out. I don't want to see your face. I don't care about your opinions.

there's also the fact that they were sleep deprived and their food may have been laced with sedatives. even if they drank the poison so "voluntarily", would they have done so under ordinary circumstances? or did they so because the cult was purposefully making it harder for them to think clearly?

I am so tired of Jonestown being a stock reference for “haha, you’re in a cult.” 918 people died, most against their will, and still it has become shorthand for how stupid you think someone is. It's the McDonald's hot coffee incident of mass death — universally referenced, entirely misremembered.

on the opposite end of the spectrum is when someone compulsively lists out all the flaws in something they like whenever they talk about it, as a defence mechanism in case someone thinks that by liking it they think it's flawless. and like, i get the urge, but you gotta resist it.

if he doesn't, at the bare minimum, stop making youtube videos, demonetise all the videos he's already made, and delete his patreon, i won't be convinced that he's actually holding himself accountable.

🇮🇪 rae (rachel) 🏳️‍🌈 @smoltittynerdgf.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

taking accountability is not simply admitting to it when it becomes clear that you can't hide for much longer. it is not becoming a public figure while hiding your actions in the first place.

I also believe in restorative justice but I don't think that means you get to become a pillar of a community and garner an audience and an income that relies solely on everyone including yourself staying silent about your actions. In the VIDEO GAME SPHERE no less.

it is painful learning about this. feels like you can't trust any man. knowing that no matter how progressive they portray themselves as, hell no matter how progressive they actually are, there's a not insignificant chance that they've raped someone, or will rape someone in the future.

i believe him when he said that it's the biggest regret of his life. i don't think that matters. he still got very successful as a public figure under false pretences, profiting off of his image as a progressive, knowing that much of his audience would not support him if they knew the truth.

On Jacob Geller

I'm aware of the rape allegations against Jacob Geller, as well as the fact that his name is on a court-ordered list of UNC students disciplined for sexual violence. I've hesitated on whether to post anything about it, because the victim hasn’t been identified and I don’t want to participate in a retraumatizing conversation against their wishes. At the same time, as someone who has collaborated with Jacob Geller, I do not want my silence to be taken as endorsement.

For my part, I did not know about this and I wish I had. What justice and repair look like in cases like these are for the victim to decide, and I do not know their wishes or what accountability processes, if any, took place. However, strictly on a personal level, I’m uncomfortable having collaborated with someone who has presented himself as a nonthreatening feminist without ever disclosing his history of sexual violence to me or any other colleagues I’ve spoken to. I have no intention of ever working with Geller again. Beyond that, the person this happened to ought to be the ultimate authority on what happens next, and how they wish to tell their story if at all.

your response to “I was raped” should not be “I was right”

4 panel comic

Panel 1:
A Purple Woman looks distraught, on the verge of breaking down. She says “that man raped me”
Orange Guy standing next to her is absent-mindedly checking his nails. He says “Wellll, I’ve always disliked him and his work.”

Panel 2:
Purple Woman begins to cry. Orange Guy adopts an incredibly smug expression and says “Guess I must just be a good judge of character”

Panel 3:
Purple Woman dissolves into sobs. Orange Guy notices, puts his hand on her shoulder and says “Aw”

Panel 4:
Purple Woman crumples to the floor. Orange Guy, looking bemused, asks “Are you crying because you’re jealous of how smart I am?”

it’s become so normal for people to disclose their rapes to appeal to people’s humanity around rape cases that we don’t think about how disgusting the need to do that is put the worst moment of your life out for public consumption, so that half the comments can call you a liar.

The person claiming to have doxed Jane Doe in the Cornell rape case is Aidan Thompson, a groyper nazi who runs "AF Post" which he took over from Ali Alexander (who also once faced sexual assault allegations of his own). Thompson described himself as a "rape expert" in his videos leading up to this.

I really don't care if YouTube is gonna demonetize your video but if you're going to censor words like 'blood' and 'rape' in your video about actual crimes then you might as well not make the fucking video in the first place. We need to call this out for what it is: cowardice.
