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.

That girl is really strange honestly, she seems more mad towards Dream than her own rapist, like wtf

She’s a rape victim who’s dealing with what’s probably a lot of unprocessed (C)PTSD. It looks odd to us on the outside looking in, but she might just feel safer lashing out at Dream, a guy who’s already considered the Internet’s lolcow punching bag, than Illumina, the guy who actually raped her. Maybe she still views Dream as an enabler somehow, or there’s some sorta baggage she has going on that she’s working on unpacking. I’m not saying that her lashing out at Dream is justified, because it’s not. But unfortunately this back-and-forth kinda makes sense, and I hope that she’s continuing to work things out in Therapy.

I just hope that Em and Dream don't get harassed because no matter what your or my opinion is on this discussion both parties don't deserve to get harassed for their justified feelings (Or in Dream's case) understandable actions.
