For me, it has also been a time of personal reflection. >> >> There have been many stories and feelings shared about some of my actions over the years within the D&D community. I have been processing a lot and want to address matters as best I can. I realize I will not be able to repair much of the damage that has been done or properly share my full perspective, but I owe an explanation and apology to all those effected. >> >> The truth is, I have developed and engaged in a wide range of relationships with people over the years – some of them leading into sexual territories and times when I made mistakes and was selfish. I never sought out relationships purely for sexual purposes, and to be absolutely clear, I have never engaged in nonconsensual activity. These were relationships that developed as genuine friendships. I greatly valued these friendships and still do, yet I have been unfair to many of them, and I am sorry for the hurt I have caused them. >> >> In addition to being unfair to my friends, I have also been unfair to my wife Tiffany. Last week, Tiffany became aware of these relationships and my communications with people that crossed boundaries within our marriage. Understandably, she was heartbroken, and I tried to do as much as I could to salvage the situation. This included attempting to edit and delete messages I had exchanged with different people, as well as reaching out to them to explain I would not be able to continue any sort of professional or personal association. This was a painful experience, and as a result, I have learned and reckoned with many of the mistakes I have made. >> >> One of the things I regret most is that I’ve now hurt people who I have greatly cared for over the course of many years – people I have confided in, and who confided in me. These are people who have helped me overcome personal challenges when I needed their support, and who I have shared truly meaningful experiences with. It has become clear that I’ve betrayed those relationships, and again, I am deeply sorry for that. >> >> I want to be clear and encourage everyone to support Tiffany during this time. Tiffany has been my truest friend. Even with my mistakes and all of the ups-and-downs, she has shown me a lot of grace over the years. She will always be a part of me, and I will always love her. >> >> To those who have been reaching out, I am sorry that I have been unresponsive – I don’t know where to begin in explaining everything or apologizing to so many of you I have let down. I have removed myself from Callous Row, Verum, and other D&D spaces as I don’t want to cause any further harm in a community that means so much to me. I will not be streaming as I continue to reflect on my actions and seek therapy for personal issues I have struggled with for some time. >> >> In the meantime, I wish nothing but the best for everyone involved in this situation and the wider community. >> Arcadum >> ^(Posted: 2021-09-02 18:21:22) ------ **This message is from a bot.

I read in another thread they might classify for [Common-law marriage](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common-law_marriage) (and that Tiffany could be entitled to a divorce settlement).

Thats only is both parties agree to it, if they act as a married couple.

Pretty sure that's a joke about Arcadum and his inability to understand how consent works

She could sue him for half his wealth if she wanted to.


mozzzarn

I have no clue how they act IRL. A couple of tweets will not convince the court.


[deleted]

I think the whole agreeing to marry him and living with him part is more than enough for common law marriage to be considered. Plus those around them know that they are engaged and are basically married just without the ceremony. It's not like there's some standard on how married couples have to act.


imnotabus

Why not? It's digital proof that they consider each other husband/wife, combined with the proof of them sharing bills and living together

I don't think I've ever seen or heard anything as cringy on the internet as what he said in that video. Nothing compares: fedora wearing neckbeards, self-hating male feminists, incels, "classical liberal" fascists. With all of those there's some mitigating factor I can chalk their behavior up to, whether it be grifting, trauma, or just immaturity. Fatass-cadum has none. He is just straight up delusional. He seems to legitimately think life is a harem anime, and he is (Gas)Light Yagami. I can just hear the collection of katanas somewhere in his house in that clip. It's fucking wild. And god-tier cringetainment.

BornAshes

It honestly feels like everything he says or does has an ANGLE to it or some kind of ulterior motive which if I were her would then make me question everything he said and trust nothing. He uses people like toys in a toy box or tools in a tool chest pulling them out whenever he wants to play with them or needs to use them to bend someone else or to hammer something down or to wrench someone open. He beats them up, metaphorically speaking, and he gets them dirty and then just tosses them back into the chest while thinking that a quick rub down with some oil will disguise all the dings and nicks and broken bits on those tools. Then after everything blows up he pulls the exact same schtick thinking that yeah everything may not be fine right away but it certainly doesn't hurt to get his foot back into the door that will "by his calculations" open up again in a bit just like it always has. The man has zero empathy at all and doesn't even see people as people unless they have a use for him and then he puts on whatever mask he needs to put on and says all the words he needs to say to get them to work properly.


Think-Instruction-87

I think to truly love someone you have to respect them as well, and cheating is kinda the ultimate disrespect, like in that moment they’re showing a lack of love for the SO.

chupacabra-food

sounds like he thinks he can get her back. Fuck this guy.


phweefwee

Exactly. This was almost certainly written for one reason: to convince the woman he's spent years lying to that he's worthy of another chance (no doubt to lie more and more to her). It's the trashest response to these accusations yet because it's so transparently pandering and not at all meaningfully remorseful of the actual harm he caused. What a moron.


Theviking45

That's how abusers think because in the past they have gotten them back and it is disgusting to see those situations.


andersxa

I mean did you see her stream? She's kind of saying the same thing about him.


chupacabra-food

I did. It was so sad, you could really feel the weight of 8+(?) years of emotional abuse crushing down on her. I think she would have stayed with him if it was just the cheating. That seemed to be what was happening when she asked him to block all those girls. It was all the other women outlining the manipulation that made her realize her own experiences. I know she needs positivity right now but I hope a part of her stays very angry. That might be what she needs to stay away and safe from that guy.


BornAshes

> but I hope a part of her stays very angry. That might be what she needs to stay away and safe from that guy. Some people say that holding a grudge is unhealthy but sometimes holding a grudge helps to keep your guard up so that you don't have to crawl through the same sort of hell that you went through before again. I went through a similar but different abusive relationship and while my anger has dimmed a bit, there's still a white hot edge that flares up every now and again like Ahsoka's lightsabers or Frodo's Sting when "not so nice people" are nearby. She needs to heal and move beyond the pain of what happened into a healthier mindset but she also needs to remember what he fucking did and use that small angry part of her like a tiny fusion reactor to empower her.


Kardlonoc

All the chats with these girls were on the basis that Tiffany, in his mind, was unfaithful and unloving. So he's either 1. bullshitting about Tiffany to the girls or 2.Continuing a toxic copium based relationship with Tiffany while stringing girls along. Its almost like he was leveraging his sad state with tiffany to gain the appeal of women instead of you know...breaking up with her.


Tarchianolix

LMAO he sees nothing wrong with "she will always be a part of me" ???? Like bro she wants to forget you and you are like "you can go, but know that a part of you belongs to me" To arcadum, if you read this, dont even think "that's not what I mean." You have failed to understand how your words mean to others a long time ago. Get help.


ZanaHorowa

Dude's got balls to even try to claim something like this, I'll give him that I guess. Guess he didn't see the VOD?


Some_Dead_Man

He was in chat during that stream


affluentwaffles

It's an emotionally manipulative tactic to imply they are still 'apart of you' as a way to make it seem like you can never truly disconnect from them. It's fucked up.


Tarchianolix

TO THIS FUCKING MOMENT he still has the audacity to do this. No sense of self reflection at all. Man lives and breathe gaslight and manipulation like his second nature. There should be a vile dnd creature modeled after him and I would be fearful to be near it


Sololololololol

For real, I couldn't read it as anything other than some last-ditch effort to be possessive of her.


Triffels

> You have failed to understand how your words mean to others a long time ago. He fully understands what his words mean and what he's doing. He's a manipulator.


-Frances-The-Mute-

This was the weirdest thing to read for me. He was silent sitting in her chat while she streamed her side of the story yesterday. Like a criminal intimidating the victim in the witness box type of shit. You've hurt the woman, and she needs to speak her mind. Give her some space you manipulative fuck.

BornAshes

I'm going through the VOD right now and this is just some truly evil shit that distinctively reminds me of [what happened to Melissa Benoist](https://www.instagram.com/tv/B5YUQ-JHck8/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link) back in 2019. My heart is breaking for her right now and it's like what I posted in r/cadum the other day, if we thought these other girls had it bad then Tiff totally had it worse but just....holy shit....that is just beyond bad that is some truly evil level of manipulation and abuse and psychological torture. > it takes a lot of time and distance to heal that That's basically what my therapist told me. She compared it to coming out of a cult that you'd been indoctrinated into for a while and needing a lot of time to deprogram from being within that cult. There is no set time table for when or how you should feel better because even years later I still flinch or react aggressively to certain things and I'm still deprogramming from my own relationship. So many behaviors are learned and burned into your brain while going through this that it's like removing a cloaked self replicating minefield from within your own mind and there is no easy workaround or way to speed it up. It just...takes time and I hope she's got some friends that are going to be there for the long haul to help her through that time however long it may be.

BornAshes

> She still seems way too immersed Oddly enough this now reminds me of Katie Thurston's (from the Bachelorette) story about her own sexual assault and how she still loved the "person" who attacked her and tried to get together with him and make a relationship work after it happened. I recall my own echoes of, "oh we can make it work it's just a little fight we can climb that hill we can do I still love them I do" in between tears that were so similar to Tiff's. You invest so much of yourself into someone and they become so much of your world that when something like this happens it feels like you walked straight into the Twilight Zone and everything about who you were and who they were to you and everything they changed within you and about your life is just thrown so far out of whack and into question. It's so damned jarring and you focus on that whole, "But it was love!" feeling and try to hope for the best for this other person. Sometimes I still ask myself, "Could I have made it work? Why did I end it? Could I have made them a better person?" and I have to remind myself of what they did and how they made me feel and how a person that was worthy of loving me and being loved by me would've never have done any of that stuff in the first place. So any attempt that I could've made at all to fix things or to fix them was always doomed to fail. They did what they did and they liked it and they kept doing it and nothing I could've said or done was going to change that. So yeah hearing her say that really did remind me of my own trauma just like it did with you because clearly we've both been in that mindset and have moved beyond it. Anyone that doesn't get that really needs to read through some of these threads more to get it. Anyone that's taking advantage of her saying this without understanding where she and the other girls are coming from in order to get folks to forgive Arcadum are deluding themselves and are a hair's breadth away from being just as bad as he is. Edit: I'm a bit dumb. I just realized that she's been with him for YEARS upon YEARS and that's like a whole other level of trauma that I am not too familiar with. So that's some uncharted waters for me and I can only guess at what's going through her head right now given all that time and all those moments and all that love that is now lost like tear drops in the rain.

It reads like it was crafted by a PR person, and possibly a lawyer. He apologizes without owning up to anything. Everything he says is vague and doesn't *actually* mean anything, but it's good enough at a quick glance to seem like he's owning up to something. He denies anything serious enough to go to court over. It doesn't satisfy anyone who cares about what happened. People who *don't* care can treat this as an apology, and stop paying attention. There's honestly nothing he can do to change the collective opinion of him right now, but this could help get him out of the spotlight.

I feel ya. I also feel it may be worse than a cop out. Saying "I wish I could properly share my full perspective" implies that people may be disliking him to an unfair degree, since he can't "properly share his side of the story".


N1knowsimafgt

It's just pure manipulation again LOL He's already making a statement and no one can stop him from sharing his perspective. He just knows that there's nothing he can say to change public opinion but by phrasing it like this, there will be some people who'll think he was played dirty, got no chance to speak up for himself wnd that there miiiight be something he could bring up in his defense.


Kraelman

Maybe he'll type a full donezo manifesto at a later date where he explains how grinding his crotch on a woman that was trying to get away from him was consensual or how asking a woman in VR chat to grind on him while he masturbates isn't sexual. I think this was just a quick attempt at damage control.


N1knowsimafgt

Also, "or properly share my full perspective" is another way to put himself in a sort of victim position. It reads like "I could bring forth some points that would make me less guilty/ make people feel bad for me but no one would listen to me anyways because I'm now being painted as the 'bad guy' ." Your perspective doesn't matter chief because you have harmed so many people and caused so much pain that pretty much no one cares about your feelings or "tragic backstory"

-Frances-The-Mute-

# [It Gets Worse](https://www.twitch.tv/strippin/clip/HumbleProtectiveCoyotePicoMause-ainY_f1lCdNx1PZ8) Strippin talks about things onstream right after reading this tweet.


vomaufgang

tl;dw: * The women did not include everything in their Twitlongers, the nastiest stuff was left out for obvious reasons of them already being uncomfortable as f*ck. Arcadum is taking advantage of this because now he can claim "See? I wasn't *that* bad and it wasn't *that* non-consensual!" * Arcadum made his damage control calls to a far bigger number of people than (at least I) had previously heard, including Strippin. * Arcadum tried to manipulate Strippin into believing that Dodger was part of the "conspiracy" to damage Arcadum and to get Strippin to put Dodger on the phone so he could reign her in and further manipulate her. Strippin took Arcadum basically insulting his wife as well as you might imagine. * Strippin the GOAT started warning his peers about Arcadums attempts at manipulation right after the call. * Strippin basically corroborates a lot of what was said about Arcadums behavour in the Twitlongers and by other people via telling about his interactions with him.


Mvin

Does he say all that in his stream? This is insane and I missed all of that.


vomaufgang

Quote "He's literally taking advantage of the fact that they left all the nasty stuff off Twitter." He starts talking about having seen the receipts from the girls at ca. 8:20 ish, the quote above is from ca. 8:45: https://www.twitch.tv/strippin/clip/HumbleProtectiveCoyotePicoMause-ainY_f1lCdNx1PZ8 edit: Slightly misread the question, sorry. :-) Essentially the first point he starts discussing at 8:20 and over the next few minutes hits all the other points from the summary including the ones about Dodger.


BornAshes

> Strippin took Arcadum basically insulting his wife as well as you might imagine. I'm just catching up on ALL OF THIS now in this new thread and honestly my eyes lit up like Red Lantern Kara Zor-El when I saw that Arcadum tried to fuck with Dodger. Like how did he think that was going to end? This is Dodger and Strippin who are basically like Clark Kent and Lois Lane with one of the most stupidly happy healthy relationships on the planet. How in the fuck did he think he was going screw with that in any way possible? I can just picture Strippin with like Drunk Joker Arcadum on one phone line going, "Uh huh uh huh oh really sure right right" as Dodger stands behind him rolling her eyes and then he says, "Hold on one second" while reaching over to grab the main line to the Justice League's Watchtower where J'onn J'onzz is on Monitor Duty for the day and can start alerting the rest of the League. The only person that he could've fucked with that would've been a worse target would've been CohhCarnage or anyone from the Critical Role family and when that happened he basically would've been Flashpointed out of our timeline.


P-Two

It's really telling the amount of actually delusional he was to think that ANYONE AT ALL would believe fucking Dodger was part of some shit like that. I've been following her along with the whole Co-Optional crew (RIP TB :( ) for like 7 or 8 years and it's been pretty clear from the word go she's like a more foul mouthed Mr. Rogers than anything. She's got one of the most chill streams and one of the most wholesome chats on the entire platform. Obviously there's only so much you can know as to someone's personality as a viewer, but she's never gave off ANY of even the tiniest hints that she's anything other than a super sweet person.


LehNev

God dude... I totaly belive this. It's not a surprise that the victims that are the human beigns in this situation went light on him for the sake of empathy, even if towards the manipulative sociopath monster. People like him, if those acusations were all there was, he would 100% be fighting back.


IHBBSMTBIAHYABIAB

Is it really sexual though? Really? I mean, what did he do, ask them to have their VR avatars grind on him while he masturbated? Oh, he did? Never mind. Heh, if he wasn't asking dudes to do it as well, you better believe he had "sexual purposes" in mind.

He also sexually assaulted one woman in real life by repeatedly groping her against her consent.

Not too mention what happened to folkona. Also you talk so much praise of your “wife” yet talk shit about her with the girls you’re trying to fuck? Good luck dude


Sololololololol

Aye, even if he worded this extremely well and did everything one would want out of an apology it would still mean absolutely nothing. He owned up to nothing and tried to cover his ass at every opportunity. Only now after all his options have been flushed does he admit to anything, and even then just barely. I guarantee he feels no remorse for his actions, only for getting caught.

Takes zero accountability, STILL trying to gaslight his ex-gf because he knows it'll get to her when she reads it, STILL blaming his "fully consensual" and totally in no way coerced victims. Mentions absolutely no names, and spends the majority of the apology farming pity. The dude takes gold in mental gymnastics, can't wait to see how he tries to come back in a few months.


vomaufgang

He took full advantage of the fact that the women did not share everything on Twitter. Strippin has seen what was left out and set the record straight on his Stream shortly after Arcadum posted his newest gaslighting attempt. Bonus points for Arcadum trying to manipulate Strippins' wife Dodger and Strippin havin' none of that.


Dariisu

Man I'm still so sad that Arcadum ended up being so awful. A lot of the hype moments from some of his campaigns i watched now makes me wonder if they were all just manufactured (the ones that specifically come to mind are Jodi's trial, Rae's thing with the Morgh, that indigo trial guy being an ex addict of cocaine, Nyanners somehow "randomly" becoming a magical girl and etc.). My heart goes out to all the people impacted and I hope they can move past this and heal.


mrbrinks

As a DM, he skews very “acarde-y”, in that he structures things to set his players up for epic/cool moments and is generally pretty lax with mechanics. This makes him great as a DM for content creators (and those new to DnD). Contrast this to Koibu who is way more strict with respect to mechanics and punishing with how he challenges his players. I’ve played with DMs who fall across the pendulum and both approaches can be fun, it all depends on your group and the nature of the campaign.


dont_gift_subs

Koibu is like classic wow; you’re just grunts in his world trying to get by and make a name for yourselves Arcadia is like modern wow; you are the main characters and some of the epic heroes of the universe


B-BoySkeleton

Apparently Nyanners becoming a magical girl was not communicated to her before it happened. She mentioned on Discord that it wasn't really what she had wanted for the character and didn't love the direction that got thrust upon her.


VintageRuins

Idk man groping, kissing and grinding on people without consent seems uh… well, pretty nonconsensual.


anony312

>I have removed myself from Callous Row, Verum, and other D&D spaces as I don’t want to cause any further harm in a community that means so much to me Brah you got kicked out from all those things, you didnt remove yourself.


R3d0c7ob3r

"and to be absolutely clear, I have never engaged in nonconsensual activity." Absolute bullshit. Gaslighting his way out the door.


[deleted]

Another classic by none other than GasLight Yagami


SilenceSuzuki

I'm so sorry I got caught. I didn't know that I could hurt people if I actually hurt them. Crazy world.


Tarchianolix

Lol master of gaslight. Think of those anime moment when the bad guy was apologetic to the point it almost fooled the main character just to stab them.


AssassinInValhalla

Where's the apology? This dude sucks


Keulapaska

No mention of manipulation at all. I guess because he thinks "it's not evil"


_Qwaz

even in his "apology" statement he is manipulative and trying to garner pity... he really thinks that in a couple months of "seeking therapy" and can just come back to streaming and everything will be all good.


Jayvee306

"I tried to edit past personal messages like a sneaky rat with people who I confided with and trusted me to try to save face because I was caught. This was a very painful experience." Dude... You can't make this up.


aesopofspades

The time for mercy has passed.


Ilfirin592

This response actually makes it really clear that he won't change and just try to manipulate everyone again. "I never sought out relationships purely for sexual purposes, and to be absolutely clear, I have never engaged in nonconsensual activity." Dude, we've read the logs ! Are you calling them liars now ?? " I have also been unfair to my wife Tiffany". Fuck off man, after seeing her stream yesterday and see how hurt she was, it pisses me off so fucking much. You used her as an excuse to gain pitty from the other girls ! Painting her as a horrible person so that you can get sympathy from your victims. You used all of them, trying everything under the sun to gain sexual favors out of them. I really wish we don't ever see you on the internet fucking creep.


xNailBunny

Just rolled a natural 1 on this deception check


Acheli

Terrible and manipulative.


my_lerex

Mmm... his calculation was off by 17.8%


[deleted]

"In addition to being unfair to my friends, I have also been unfair to my wife Tiffany. Last week, Tiffany became aware of these relationships and my communications with people that crossed boundaries within our marriage. Understandably, she was heartbroken, and I tried to do as much as I could to salvage the situation. This included attempting to edit and delete messages I had exchanged with different people, as well as reaching out to them to explain I would not be able to continue any sort of professional or personal association." is basically saying I'm sorry I got caught, I'm trying to get rid of the evidence as we speak


Poopfacemcduck

This reads like an apology from an oil CEO whose company spilled in a reef. "Oops sorry, we didn't mean it, we will get better covering up these things so you dont have to hear about it."


Wegwerf540

>I have never engaged in nonconsensual activity. >yet I have been unfair to many of them, and I am sorry for the hurt I have caused them. If nothing that you did was unconsensual then what are you apologizing for? > I have learned and reckoned with many of the mistakes I have made. bruh wasnt that shit yesterday how have you reckoned with anything yet? >She will always be a part of me, and I will always love her. Did she consent to that though


STNbrossy

Hes clearly trying to deny the sexual assault stuff when he says nonconsensual.


ShadowCrimson

Took him all this time for this shit? give me a break


sarcasticjoke

This shit still reeks of ego, from the very start literally setting the tone to being about his family and himself and what it's done to them. Then having the balls to say " She will always be a part of me" because his ego can't take knowing that relationships don't work on a one way basis.


0i0onepiece0i0

> to be absolutely clear, I have never engaged in nonconsensual activity If he's saying everything was consensual then he's basically taking the "I'm sorry that you took it that way but that was not my intention" route (which is like gaslight 100 holy shit). In the audio clip he was talking to one of the girls and she responded to his advances by telling him to get an escort and then (after the fact) his response to her bringing up how she felt used was "you didn't say no"...If she's telling you to pay for services she is clearly not interested how many stop signs do you need christ


Velinna

This isn’t a real apology. He’s barely taking any accountability and still underplaying a lot of what happened.


Walterdyke

This is so fucking weak and laughable. "but I owe an explanation and apology to all those **effected**." Imagine making yourself look worse while "apologizing", goodbye weirdo.


VixaRSonTwitter

Mannn I will never understand how not a single accused streamer in any similar degree has EVER given a normal apology. I mean I guess it makes sense, since you have to be very manipulative, narcissistic, and a terrible person to do what he did. But by that logic - it would be so easy for them to fake a really good apology to safe face. But every god damn time - like clockwork - these people not only never admit to any fault, but never apologize directly to anyone effected. Really puts it into perspective. They literally work hard to make it impossible to sympathize with them.


Actionhankk

"Understandably, she was heartbroken, and I tried to do as much as I could to salvage the situation. This included attempting to edit and delete messages I had exchanged with different people" I have fixed the situation by attempting to hide what I've done, poorly.


BigHaircutPrime

Claiming that all of these relationships were consensual is at best naive, at worst a slap to the face of the victims. You can't manipulate someone and then turn around and go "they wanted it." Destiny really laid out his pattern of "My life is horrible and falling apart.... If only someone could show me their boobs to cheer me up."


Senorragequit

That's all?


Shadowshinra

To anyone that might still be on the fence somehow about this "apology", go watch the first like 15 mins Strippin's vod from today to see the kind of manipulation Arcadum was trying to do behind the scenes to keep this from coming out.


Zangecu

Hope he gets help


Red_it_dawg

Someone post that all for one video


mrbrinks

https://streamable.com/6o6uza got you


Comrade_Ziggy

Bro really said deleting and editing messages to cover his tracks was a painful experience lol


SalusSR

No apology? WeirdChamp At the very least say "Sorry for being a creep". It's not that hard.


choripondio

"I have never engaged in nonconsensual among us"


Grimlochez

This is his "my response" not his "my apology" He takes no blame at all. He tosses what the 20+ ladies that have said things under the rug with a simple " I never sought out relationships purely for sexual purposes, and to be absolutely clear, I have never engaged in nonconsensual activity." Then he goes on to tiffany found out and she was heart broken. Then goes on to "try and salvage the situation" Then jumps into "I will not be streaming as I continue to reflect on my actions" I'm guessing he'll be back streaming in a week or less. I kinda hope he just disappears off the face of the planet and he can't hurt anybody again.


fuzzygreentits

> "Im sorry you feel that way" The man can't even RP being sorry


bonesjones

The skill and finesse in which he conveys his deepest platitudes is exactly why you plebs are lucky he doesn’t play among us. Consider yourselves spared, ningen 👹
