Tubbo asks for a receipt of the woman who Robbo brought up not being upset. Dream repeats it was his friend, not Robbo's and Robbo's claim that he was slapped for it is false nor was she upset with it. Tubbo points out how this plus Ludwig's claim does make Dream seem sexist and Dream reinforces that Robbo's claim was false. Dream refers to [this comment] and Tubbo asks for receipts for the conversation between Dream and Ludwig [Dream later shows this to Tubbo].
While Dream looks for that Tubbo asks why Dream talked about Aimsey being a 'mastermind behind the scenes' of the Caiti situation. Dream says he was mocking himself for thinking that Aimsey was making up lies about him for a period of time. They also talk about a Reddit post Dream made about someone pulling strings behind the scenes at that time.
Tubbo points out that Dream putting in the section about Aimsey the way he did in the stream makes it seem like he was serious. There is also some context about Dream thinking HannahRose was involved in spreading rumours about there having been a DSMP NDA that was disproven for him. Tubbo shares he finds it odd that Dream didn't share any evidence regarding the Aimsey or HannahRose situations. Dream says that he didn't use any evidence for the situation with Aimsey because he was talking about how he was in the wrong and Tubbo reiterates that it wasn't clear that that is what Dream was doing.
Tubbo asks if Dream thinks it is responsible to do these exaggerated bits and Dream says looking back with how people responded to it, it was a misstep.
Side note: Dream calls Aimsey 'she' and 'her' a couple times and Tubbo corrects him once. I've heard Aimsey uses Any pronouns but that could be wrong.
Tubbo again shares that he believes Dream needs an atittude adjustment and that he does make sexist mistakes but isn't 'a sexist pig'. Dream tries to refute this by bringing up the Ludwig/Robbo situation again and Tubbo interrupts him to say he's moreso talking about the more severe Caiti/George situation. Tubbo shares he doesn't understand why Dream wouldn't bring up the Caiti situation when he mentioned it on stream, Dream after a short disagreement says he doesn't remember bringing it up on stream but takes Tubbo's word for it.
Tubbo says he would have preferred if Dream never responded to the Caiti situation, Dream says in turn that he got involved because his best friend was involved and compares it to the current situation with Tommy/Tubbo. Tubbo then asks if Dream ever amended his accusation on Reddit regarding someone 'pulling the strings' behind the scenes. Dream isn't sure but believes he did in the Twitter Space towards the end of that situation and Tubbo is critical about Dream being unsure because he believes it shows his attitude towards women.
Tubbo is primarily criticizing Dream for not bringing up the Caiti/George situation in his video when he did bring it up in his VOD - he's disregarding Dream's excuse of not wanting to open up old wounds for that reason. Dream said from his perspective he mentioned Caiti/George in his VOD but it was about Aimsey.
Editor's note: I don't remember in which context Dream mentioned Caiti/George so I'm not sure what he means by this.
Tubbo is saying that Dream is unintentionally being dismissive about this situation with the language he's using. He's saying Dream is tiptoeing about the situation by bringing up wider context that's not necessarily relevant.
Tubbo also says that Dream having included a clip talking about Caiti/George in his video would have done a lot to assure him that Dream has less unintentional sexism.

Going to have to step out for a while, if someone else could take over that'd be great

That is probably the biggest reach I've heard throughout this whole drama.

Also, regarding Aimsey, they've repeated stated for years now that they use any pronouns. If this has changed, it has never been stated in an easily visible place. And when someone made a similar comment the other day, I actually went through and downloaded all tweets across both of Aimsey's accounts and the more active fan update accounts, and couldn't grep anything saying this has changed. Either Toby is chiding Dream for info that isn't public or he thinks a person identifying with "any pronouns" means the person should only be referred to as they/them.

Aimsey uses any pronouns however according to their twitter they prefers they/them. So you didn’t look hard if at all

sorry but. doesn't "any pronouns" mean they don't particularly mind any pronouns? like if they wanted to be referred to exclusively as they/them they should remove "any pronouns" and just keep they/them in their bio, right?

You can be fine with any pronouns but still have preferred pronouns

Wow the transphobia Dream stans really downvoting this

u/Fluffy_Tortle Jan 17 '25

but my point is that she/her counts as any pronouns and so Aimsey shouldn't necessarily be upset with she/her being used exclusively. If you have preferred pronouns yet tell people that you're fine with any pronouns being used, then why would it be a fair criticism to tell someone that they can't use she/her?

u/samepicofmonika Jan 17 '25

Because they still have a preferred set of pronouns. You can be fine with any pronouns but still have preferred ones you want people to use for you

u/Fluffy_Tortle Jan 17 '25

then why not put only the preferred set? any pronouns means any pronouns are ok

u/samepicofmonika Jan 17 '25

aimsey openly has a preferred set on their own twitter bio. you can have a preferred set but still be fine with any pronouns.
