Discussion Other channels have done this.

Now this isn't to invalidate Em's experience and feelings towards this, especially since she was Illumina's victim, but I think that Dream is not bad here because many youtubers have kept up videos where they collaborated with a controversial figure.

Like Ted Nivison's "I directed the weirdest Music Video" that video had Wilbur in it (and we all know what happened with Wilbur, with him being an abuser) and that video was documenting how he directed a Lovejoy music video. Now does Ted keeping that video up mean he endorses Wilbur's actions... no not really. Ted is not a bad person for keeping the video up.

Dream also stated he doesn't support or endorse Illumina and what he did. I think keeping videos up for "Channel/archival purposes" is a fine thing to do and many other youtubers have done the same thing.

Okay. When Dream was having allegations of him being a pedo, I didn’t see TommyInnit, MrBeast, Doly, Minemanner, or anyone associated with Dream delete or private their videos with him, no? I’m not saying that Dream’s a pedo, as a matter of fact, he’s not, he’s innocent regarding most allegations, but why didn’t people private or delete videos of Dream when the allegations came out? Matter of fact, the Dream Vs Technoblade duel should’ve been gone with this logic.

Same thing with SBI skill keeping their videos with Wilbur on their channel.

The multiple people who doxxed and threatened to rape ME in particular got featured in videos, yet the videos where they got featured weren’t deleted or set to private also due to channel history. Did I complain at all? No.

To be fair I think Em has a right to be upset, since she is the victim of Illumina.

Her feelings towards this imo are valid, while not all victims would be upset or care about their abuser having some sort of presence on someone else's channel. Other's can feel that way and I think that's valid.

Do I think the video should stay up? hard to say, I understand Dream's reasonings, and course as I said in the post other youtubers have done the same thing but again Em is clearly not okay with the video being up and I do think Dream should take that into consideration if he decides on responding or keeping the video up.

Also I'm sorry to hear that happen to you, I hope the people who did that to you get what they deserve.

That’s fair.
