This is to provide an update on Chris Niosi aka Kirbopher and Bryon William Beaubien aka Will Beaubien aka Brinnmations aka SuperPsyguy.

This is also in regards to Martin Billany aka Little Kuriboh and TeamFourStar, and the various libertarians and serial abusers they have protected over the years and continue to protect. I am tired of dealing with this cursed knowledge alone. It has deeply affected my mental health and the mental health of many others. I am writing this to be as thorough and concise as possible, to get it all out there, to free myself from this. To have a document that can be referenced from here on out, should it ever come up again. Regardless, it deserves to finally all be out in the open. Silence safeguards the worst people. Given the trends shown here, something else will come down the line, and maybe this document will help them.

Who am I?

I'm Tara Welker. I made the first tweet chronologically outing Vic Mignogna - whose deeds were a well known thing in the con circuit and discussed in fandom spaces as early as 2003. I was one of the dozens of people who outed Bryon William Beaubien aka Bill Beaubien aka Will Beaubien aka SuperPsyguy aka BitPolarGame aka Brinnmations. I was right about David Smith aka Crikey Dave, and I was right about Chris Niosi aka Kirbopher. If you don't believe me, that's not something I'm going to concern myself with. My track record when I talk about these things is 100% and I'm right about this too.

An ex-collaborator of TeamFourStar has confirmed that they absolutely knew about my efforts. "Everyone knows the dirt on everyone in the TeamFourStar circle." Having briefly been proxy to it, I believe that.

"They only take action when a big enough stink is raised because then it affects their personal image. And then they will claim higher moral ground. I've seen it. You've seen it. It's gross. But no one will say anything. (Confirmed when Niosi was outed.)

Having been in that circle for an extended period of time, I can tell you right now the entire group is aware of you and your efforts. They are blanking you. Intentionally. Making conscious works to make your attempts not be heard and ignored.

The only time action can be taken is when it can't be ignored. When they have no choice but to address it because the wave is so immense." (Again, confirmed when Niosi was outed. In a silent cowardly way, but it severed their ties.)

First I'm going to go over things I was unaware of until the last couple years. Things many people clearly are not aware of. I will then retread the origins of this whole mess.

Last year ShadyVox posted a song that had people talking, particularly about WHY ShadyVox may of had anger towards Martin Billany as the lyrics show:

I am also namedropped in this song, as I am known for being a (loud) advocate for everyone hurt by Martin Billany and other people he associated with. I was hurt by them and witnessed a lot of things firsthand.

"And this is me being mild. Speed dial, Welker. Get it wild."

I am the Welker in question. I can shed some light on this.

A few years ago, a weird email gave me an audio file with NO context. I sat on it for a while, not being able to do much because I needed to know exactly what it meant. Eventually I learned more about what it meant.

It starts here with this audio:

ShadyVoxAudioFile.mp3

This is an audio message of ShadyVox upset with Martin Billany - he is confronting him about knowing about a particular event, knowing the lies surrounding that event, and Martin being okay with it - in line with the long standing trend of Martin protecting and platforming abusers.

The event was this, or so I am told:

XTheDarkOne / Tom Livesey was 24 when he engaged in s*x with a 17 year old minor. Even without the age concerns, he had gotten her drunk in his home. He then proceeded to take advantage of her. Consent is a concern. He not only hid this from ShadyVox and others, but when confronted he lied about the ages, hence the 'do the math' portion of the audio. XTheDarkOne claimed the ages were 18 and 21 - it was clear he knew he was in the wrong. Martin Billany absolutely knows the real ages and the details of this situation. Facebook pages with dates of birth were referenced. I cannot personally say I witnessed the events of this – but after reading the rest of this document you may see how it fits. I -do- recall Bryon William Beaubien/SuperPsyguy being very irritated about it, claiming ShadyVox had no right to be upset about it because the girl in question was an ex of his. Now that I know the context... Yikes.

People learned to stomach this for a time. A lot of bad blood would happen later. I did not witness and was only a proxy to this event.

The Niosi reference in the song is obviously Chris Niosi.

The ‘Shady could've done it better' at the end is a sardonic jab at Martin in reference to an injoke, which is used extensively in this video:

// Lyrics: https://l-hit.com/en/1726230

(Bonus: direct reference to Bryon William Beaubien/Psyguy and the podcast they both were on the regular. Just in case anyone wanted to pretend they weren't friends and collaborators for years.)

Following up from above, if you wanted to know “Why was GX Abridged canceled?” This, alongside other deeply concerning things not mentioned here are why. Especially in light of the other libertarians and generally horrible people Martin Billany chummed around with and protected for his own interests.

Here's Martin Billany talking about it being canceled, suspiciously avoiding mention of the other person who worked on it, ShadyVox.

https://x.com/yugiohtas/status/1108453573233250304 // https://archive.is/F56lE

Here's Martin Billany a year before, well after protecting a whole clusterfrick of terrible people, reprimanding ShadyVox publicly in favor of XTheDarkOne.

https://x.com/yugiohtas/status/1004105010689421318 // https://archive.is/bo03Q

Do you think Martin Billany and XTheDarkOne are still chummy? Yes. They worked together on the regular after the key event as well.

Now to lay out the whole messy ordeal up until this point.

In the middle of 2014, enough was enough and after well over a decade of abuse involving 20+ people Bryon William Beaubien was outed. (He is also known as Psyguy/Superpsyguy aka BitPolarGame aka Brinnmations - the list is long because he's unfortunately still active and unfortunately still getting involved with minors even after this happened.) Dave Smith aka CrikeyDave was also outed. Both had groomed a minor into a sexual relationship and created the legal definition of child porn with them via sexting. Bryon William Beaubien was also outed for multiple accounts of being involved with minors, being abusive, sexually coercive (aka r*pe) and commiting various instances of fraud involving money and using people for various things, including s*x, labor, and content creation.

Here's a colossal and in depth document concerning that: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1O0jYmwagR5FxNAfO8yQDzEqbz-oxby9M-WhQxF3F_MU/edit

Both were heavily involved with Martin Billany and TeamFourStar. They did voice work and animations for them (like the video above), and they all had a podcast called 'Wha-chow'. I was privy to a lot of the Skype calls of the time and had witnessed plenty of the more egregious claims. I witnessed Martin Billany witnessing it too. I witnessed Chris Niosi witnessing it as well.

The reaction to this event was huge and immediate. Despite having dozens of testimonies, a huge pile of audio evidence via Wha-chow, and everyone having a long trail of evidence of their involvement with them, the backlash was severe.

The people who gave testimonies were pretty clear: they had dealt with and witnessed some pretty terrible things over a 15 year span, it was time to make things right and put a stop to it. The backlash was unreal, and it did not take long for people to rightfully want Martin Billany's support: he was a regular and the huge draw on the Wha-chow podcast and had witnessed an ABSURD amount - including a doxxing attempt on one of the people hurt. He had watched Bryon William Beaubien court two minors in a state (Texas) where it was violating established Romeo and Juliet laws to be a 30 year old pursuing 15-16 year olds. One of them is named Madison, and Martin would regularly foist them off onto Bryon. The abuse would intensify after some episodes. He had also witnessed the severe abuse that was occuring in several instances, most notably with Liz aka Blizooka/Rimeshard in the testimony document. Both myself and Liz pleaded with him to help when Bryon William Beaubien came back and made it clear he was digging his feet in. People started getting rightfully upset when he refused and abandoned everyone.

This is when Chris Niosi attempted to defuse the situation - I suspect mostly because he was stuck between worrying about losing the star of his TOME animations and trying to curry favor with his ex-girlfriend Liz - who he is still obsessed with. When it was clear that no one was happy he was 'frick you, got mine' about the situation, and OneKids Mike came in telling everyone that Martin Billany was suicidal and that we would be 'welcome to email him once the episode was over.'

To quote someone in the know, "Martin claims he will always believe the victims, and then posts about striving for a better world of understanding and responsibility, while doing nothing. He's a fricking coward who falls back on his personal struggles as a safety net for sympathy when he gets called out." I can confirm this, I've held back for a long time even now saying certain things out of fear of this.

This ended up ringing true because by the end people felt manipulated because the promised response never came. People of course stopped when the suicide part was mentioned, because what else would any reasonable person do? What if it suddenly became reality? I fear a Alec Holowka situation. But also: that fear in itself is a terrible thing in the first place. So they're just not responsible for anything they do…ever? You get to use that as a shield every time consequences for actions or inactions happen? You get carte blanche to do whatever? Chris Niosi would also frequently scream at people that ‘no one would be happy unless he killed himself' when consequences arrived and that's beyond gross and manipulative. I know he has wished death on me before, but I can still say I've never returned that favor. There is more than one testimony where it's mentioned he was pushing people to suicidal ideation.

To reiterate, public image is all that matters here. Once consequences start happening, it's all but guaranteed this tactic will start. It happened to me, it happened to others. Any time he has had to axe anyone because it had become untenable it has been silent, with no mention of his involvement or extended defense/silencing of people.

Coincidentally, the guy who played a part on this, OneKids Mike, also turned out to be abusive. https://archive.is/6oDkC

So it was like...okay, Martin Billany was an attraction for a lot of the people who flocked to the podcast and subsequently got abused, and he witnessed the bulk of it. He was FRIENDS with people who were abused who were pleading for his help. But it was clear he wasn't going to do anything to help, so let's just drop it I guess.

…Except Martin Billany started trying to rehabilitate and replatform the people outed!

Martin Billany tried to bring Crikey Dave back to the fold after he was outed:

Here's a later photo of them together:

Here's a bonus photo of Martin Billany and XTheDarkOne from earlier taken by Crikey Dave because why not:

https://archive.is/tHup6

Here's the leader of TeamFourStar, KaiserNeko aka Scott Frerichs being buddy buddy as well, note the drop off date:

https://x.com/search?q=from%3Akaiserneko+crikeydave&f=live

https://archive.is/3XAWD (He is a serial namesearcher and incriminating tweet deleter, so some parts may be missing, but the dates don't lie. He 100% knew.)

I naturally gave him a lot of grief, and they eventually stopped after I kept mentioning it. I've never been quiet about it, and Martin was also a serial name searcher of himself who would frequently get into fights with people around this time, so I can only imagine he saw these:

https://x.com/lashiec/status/776940034062741508

https://x.com/lashiec/status/1151222706068701185

https://x.com/lashiec/status/943176573221515265

A few years later it became very clear that Chris Niosi also had a lot to answer for. Old unknown grievances, and new, currently active things. I talked about it at length FOR YEARS while Martin Billany / TeamFourStar knew, and they maneuvered to silence my efforts and continued working with him. I literally had fledgling voice actors come up to me gaslamping and playing defense for Niosi. (Some apologized to me directly later. I will address others further down.)

Please note the dates of when Chris Niosi was finally forced to deal with all he had done...

https://x.com/lashiec/status/1152721859625902082

https://x.com/lashiec/status/1151586001963405313

...and the last time Martin Billany spoke with him publicly.

…and the last time the lead of Team Four Star spoke with him publicly.

https://x.com/search?q=from%3Akaiserneko+kirbopher&f=live

https://archive.is/ScpMJ

(Special note: KaiserNeko aka Scott Frerichs has spoken rudely about the Superpsyguy situation in the past and is a serial namesearcher and incriminating tweet deleter, so some parts may be missing. The fact he and Martin platformed Niosi for years is significant - I actually didn't know how bad it was until recently, I had no idea how many works they were casting each other in - it was quite a bit. I had purposefully avoided anything to do with TFS for my own mental health, plus a general lack of interest. I avoided Wha-chow even back in the day, and didn't show up in the audio evidence much as a result. The podcast started getting gross and the weird worship around certain cast members was hard to stomach if you weren't a fan.)

July 17-20, 2019 VS July 12, 2019

In a follow up I made it very clear Martin had been protecting him all that time, mocking people speaking out against him for years (confirmed by ex-collaborators), and facilitating silence around it.

https://x.com/lashiec/status/1155178100411588608

I also revealed in the tweet thread above that Chris Niosi had gone on a show promoting ToeJam and Earl with Nick Robinson. AFTER it was revealed he was abusing his position to sexually harass women. Please note the replies to the show tweet, and this. I was not the only person aware of and saying this stuff by any stretch. I emailed everyone I could well before this.

Martin Billany and the rest of TFS dropped Chris Niosi like he was radioactive the millisecond it was clear their efforts would not work anymore.

So it finally stuck - but only because Niosi had abused someone people knew, someone recent, someone other people knew in real life and was much harder to hide. And he tried to lie about trying to take sexual advantage of them while they were drunk - this was a catalyst. So they had to deal with the fact I wasn't lying all that time. And that the silencing efforts by them directly led to someone else being hurt.

This follows something the ex-TFS collaborator had said: "My mistake for thinking he'd stand up for what's right when there's clear evidence in the past that he simply does not give a shit as long as it doesn't interfere with his public persona."

Team Four Star and Martin Billany does not give a frick about you, me, or anyone else if it may potentially paint them in a bad light or may simply make them miss out on work. They're fine working with abusive buttholes, sexual predators, libertarians, they just don't want you to know about it.

Martin Billany was very cool with Chris Niosi, despite me talking about what Chris Niosi had done on the regular. Despite me contacting Martin (and others) directly about what he had done prior to him being outed:

https://amethystlashiec.tumblr.com/post/149095962046/regarding-chris-kirbopher-niosi

https://amethystlashiec.tumblr.com/post/168720647771/violetviolence-cyndermizuki-since-when-do

I was not quiet about Niosi AT ALL. Several other people weren't either.

Another notable person both Martin Billany was very chummy with for a time, (and Niosi is continuously chummy with) Andrew Peepeeman:

https://x.com/lashiec/status/1417400637327826952

Peepeeman actually confessed to sexual assault and other terrible things in January of 2016 and then deleted it later on his ancient NSFW tumblr. It was a known thing at this point, and was when both were chummy with him, as seen below. I have the archive of the confession and gladly offer to spread it to relevant parties and have - it unfortunately does out three of the people he hurt and it is always for them to decide if it gets posted publicly, I cannot make that decision in good conscience. Peepeeman has gotten blacklisted for this particular event from studios. Niosi is still amicable with Peepeeman to this day and it's one of like....a dozen reasons I don't ever plan on forgiving him. Niosi is exactly like Martin where he will not abide by any notable value system in practice unless it makes him look good to the public or gets him something.

https://archive.is/tKB9m

It was actually a request from several people Chris Niosi hurt to step down from voice acting. In my testimony I mentioned the allegations are older than his career - so he had gone in knowing that. Whatever your opinion is on asking him to quit outright, and there is nuance, he has not considered the feelings of others for a long time. Dubs are still a minefield for everyone involved. Less of a minefield, but one all the same. Sprinkle in some of his unionbusting for flavor.

I want to make this painfully clear: No one Chris Niosi has hurt has forgiven him. He never admitted to the sexual coercion, which was the bare minimum. He refused to drop his public relationship with another credibly accused male feminist, also the bare minimum. Chris Niosi skirted these allegations hoping no one would look into it, and unfortunately that tactic has worked quite a bit. Let me make this clear: Niosi is a sexually coercive creep and has done so to several women. He has stalked, and he has restrained people trying to get away from him. He physically manhandled women in public - and even tried to sexually take advantage of an ex while she was drunk. This event was a catalyst and some people close to him left him after excusing his behavior for far too long. He has used people. He has anger issues and blows up at women in private - hot blooded screaming. He employs DARVO tactics on the regular. He has sent countless abuse-by-proxy friends after people trying to get away from him, or speaking up about him. I had to deal with that during the worst of it several times. He has tried to ruin other people's careers. To quote Cailen from the testimonies document: you will never meet someone as self absorbed and selfish as Kirbopher. He calls the abuse, manipulation and sexual coercion of others ‘gossip'. Abuse that HE partook in and stayed silent about. To reiterate: no one relevant to this situation has forgiven him.

You often see it on twitter - “Oh! But they got better!” from uninvolved people who have no idea what he even did. One of the people Chris Niosi hurt the most and had the most to answer for had taken a leave of absence from the internet in response to the stress of it all. Chris Niosi saw this as an opportunity to SPEAK FOR HER, claiming “everything was okay - and that he totally never sexually assaulted anyone!''. This individual came back to the internet briefly and specifically to set the record straight and tell him to stop putting words in her mouth. Chris Niosi tried to use both myself and Liz in some weird rehabilitation plots and it was terrible and emotionally exhausting, especially knowing what I know now. He always wanted to be sure it was “enough” without actually having to straight up admit to the worst parts. Absolutely taxing. Chris Niosi is the only person who ever drove me to drink in all this.

I have her tweets archived should I find a relevant party that needs them, but since they cannot be contacted I will relay the contents of the tweets without the archive:

“I was done with this, but he is trying to use me to shield him. This is completely unacceptable.

Let me make this as brief as I can. Any “progress” Chris Niosi has made has been reversed with an extremely foolish and nonsensical move. He saw my absence as an opportunity to manipulate my words into DEFENDING him and hoped that I wouldn't notice.

Let's be clear: I wrote a post that specifically talked about -two events- only to clear up some misconceptions. Again, only about those two dates. Now he is saying that I personally and completely cleared him of any sexual abuse. (This is in direct response to the manipulative tweet Chris Niosi posted: 1 )

As I tweeted earlier, this is what he admitted himself IN WRITING and what I accused him of IN WRITING. He groped me against my consent nearly every day of our relationship.

(this tweet links to two images: 1 and 2 First image is the closest he ever comes to actually admitting to what he did, and as you can see it is very calculated and severely lacking.)

This was not cute petting from a partner, this was full-on aggressive sexual grabbing every time I changed out of my clothes to hop into the shower. I was direct with him: stop doing this. I did not kittyfoot around telling him that I did not want him to touch me.

So, can someone care to explain to me what that is then if it's not some form of sexual abuse/harassment? Because I googled the definition and I can't think of what else it could be. Again, he admitted to doing this in his own words. Now suddenly it's a different story with him.

I cannot fathom any therapist of his thinking that this could possibly benefit his path to self-improvement. This is bullshit; I was done with it all. He is purposely dragging me back into this. This is not a changed man.

I am aware he has since taken down that Twitter thread but to me the damage was done. I do not want anyone to think that his most-recent ex-girlfriend would actually condone and attempt to protect the actions of this abusive individual. Thank you for reading.

I know it's real inspiring that he talked about his therapy and I'm glad HE feels better about what he has done, but no one he hurt has forgiven him. In conversation he was sure to bring this up repeatedly, not as a point of "i am working on getting better, to better myself, for myself," but "are you proud of me, is this enough, can I go back to normal with no consequences and voice act now, please let me omit the repeated sexual abuse" It was mentally exhausting and manipulative. He brought his friend Kajet in as well, and it was more of the same “we don't have to mention the sexual abuse stuff right?? Right? That's a bit of a stretch, isn't it?” I was being gaslit, and these talks went on for a long time, trying to exhaust my boundaries. I was being asked to provide an absurd amount of emotional labor, and I know I'm not the only one. I had completely unrelated people come to me talking about it. These are all relevant tactics to the testimonies. He just admitted what he thought he could bounce back from and refused to address the worst of it - they both pretended peace was made. It wasn't. He has hurt and stymied countless people - their lives and wellbeing are not worth less than his. He has already taken way too much from others. He hasn't changed an iota.

Please note in ALL of Chris Niosi's non-apologies over the years, he specifically does not ever reply to anything and generates a new post to do it. This is to keep as many eyes off the testimonies as possible, and to control the narrative as much as possible. Wouldn't want Amy, Liz, Cailen, Audrey or my own particularly darning testimonies out, would we?

Two abuse-by-proxy people for Niosi that did defense for him, who have never apologized despite that defense enabling him to sexually abuse women after the fact, and are still chummy with Niosi to this day? Lauren and Deven Mack. This is an all purpose document, so I'm mentioning them. They did serious legwork for Niosi towards people in private - I know this because those people came to me later. Both are also still very friendly with him. Make of that what you will. Here's me touching on it, cementing it on the timeline a year before Niosi sexually abuses the last known person: 1 I must note Lauren did come out in support against SuperPsyguy at points - but she only gets on board with people who have personally hurt her - so him and Liz specifically, and in regards to Niosi had said something along the lines of “I have a degree in psychology, so I'd know if he was bad” which is…a very dumb statement, to put it nicely. This was deleted because I think they figured out how it sounds - especially in light of new abuse revealed a year later. But they said stuff like that on the regular at the time. Lauren had done terrible things for SuperPsyguy, so they haven't changed much - they just picked someone else to cape for. Here's me being (understandably) pretty pissed about it.

TO REMIND YOU: Chris Niosi has never ever admitted to being sexually coercive to the three, possibly more, people I know of. Stalking them. Groping them. Sending people after them. Pressuring them for s*x, for physically restraining and making unwanted sexual contact. Trying to take advantage of someone who was drunk. For enabling other abusers back then and to this very day. You don't ‘get better' from things you don't admit to. You don't get better when you just continue doing what you were doing. He pretends he was just a shitty boyfriend. He was an absolutely terrible person well beyond that scope. You don't and can't ‘get better' from things you hide and hope no one ever mentions it again. There used to be entire art accounts and flash videos targeting Niosi because of his other past antics - I was his friend at the time, and while I'm sure some of that was mean spirited, I apologize for not seeing why people felt this strongly about him even back then, before it got worse.

I'm sure he's wished death on me some more, and really likes using the word ‘freak' and ‘talking out of her butt' in reference to me. Well, if I'm talking out of my butt, I really do wonder what one would call whatever it is he's doing.

I will give him this though: he at least would vaguely heed my warnings about Vic Mignogna. Not do anything, but I'm not aware of anything egregious.

Here's Martin Billany throwing shade about Vic Mignogna and his defenders which is...rich, considering.

https://x.com/yugiohtas/status/1180184783759929344 // https://archive.is/PSGNM

Very safe, that battle is over, easy internet points, anyone heavy in the con circuit from 2003-present very much knew what Vic Mignogna was like, and Billany knew it too. He was chummy with him back then as well. He loved to tell jokes about being seduced by / reiterated jokes about being the 'Vic Mignogna' of a group. So what does being the ‘Vic Mignogna' of a group mean?

https://archive.is/zfDyS

In fact, here's a 2011 Youmacon panel of the vast majority of these people mentioned palling around with Vic Mignogna an hour in:

Also notably on the stage: Testimony Liz aka Blizooka/Rimeshard, Chris Niosi, and Bryon William Beaubien/SuperPsyguy.

Guess when my tweets making it clear I knew he would sexually pursue underage girls originated?

2010. It was an open secret at conventions and discussed on livejournal for years at this point.

I was friends with several of these people at the time, by the way. They absolutely knew, I made sure everyone knew and he let all those people take the brunt of it alone when things got nasty in the last few years. At least he is consistent.

In case you feel the need to ask 'who knew?' about all this, I'm going to be blunt, all of TeamFourStar knew. Martin would regularly tell others to stay silent or delete tweets. Members/collaborators would actively privately talk to people who were losing faith as the rumblings got louder. His spouse knew. MasakoX knew. Lanipator knew. Takahata101 knew. KaiserNeko knew and would actively be rude to anyone who mentioned it to silence them. Chris Niosi knew. The editors knew. The bulk of the people they worked with at the time knew. Everyone knew. At best they ignored it or made light of it and at worst they got involved with damage control. This includes active gaslamping about Chris Niosi as recently as a few years ago. All while he was hurting someone that could've - in theory - been prevented. While Bryon / BitPolarGame / Psyguy / Brinnmations was preying on a new 16 year old girl by 2017 - three years after he was originally outed. While I have people 20 years younger than him in contact with me talking about how he tried the tactics described in 2014 all over again as recently as this year. While more than a few people had to do extensive amounts of therapy.

‘And don't you dare say you never knew, that's not true. The whole crew warned you.'

I'm sure these are people who have loved and lost, who have done good things, who have done bad things, things like most any person. I see that in them. I honestly believe some of them do not see it in me or everyone else hurt by this. Some of them have made that very clear.

Maybe they're better people now - even with the current concerns. But they still have things to answer for.

Coincidentally, Retroware Studios, who is publishing a game being worked on by the bulk of these people at TeamFourStar (Toxic Crusaders) is a namechange of Screenwave Media - the group that Bryon William Beaubien aka Psyguy aka BitPolarGame aka Brinnmations found solace and a platform in as "BitPolarGame'' from 2015 to 2017 - well after he was outed as a serial abuser, fraudster, and sexually coercive libertarian. I had to take them to task to get him removed - including revealing details of my own r*pe I was not comfortable with, but I felt I had to drive the point home after being continuously ignored. Controversy and this group are not a new thing, apparently. If you google ‘screenwave media controversy' more things show up. Take that for what you will. This could possibly be what inspired the company namechange. There was also a previous company before this. I don't know any specifics but it is something to note. The company is known-abusive-male feminist-libertarian friendly and apparently are also guy-whose-known–and-convicted-for-child-porn-who-served-time friendly, unfortunately. A good fit for TeamFourStar. Things haven't changed.

This is just the stuff I personally know, and it has been nearly 10 YEARS since this started. I'm worried about the stuff I don't know about. But this is the end-all, be-all. As far as I know.

Everyone has been contacted privately at least once prior to this. The writing has been on the wall for years, nothing else really could be done beyond bringing it to the public sphere.

Martin Billany doing this once, say with just Psyguy, would be one thing. That would suck, but then he just would've been an butthole and a bad friend years ago. It wouldn't be a pattern. It's unfortunately a small part of an established and very substantial pattern.

People like Vic Mignogna thrived for so long because he was a missing stair. Team Four Star and Martin Billany are the guys who work overtime for years and years to ensure that stair never sees repair.
