Hecko!
It's time for your obligatory Minecraft drama update!!! NO YOU CAN'T LEAVE YOU ALREADY CLICKED THE THREAD!
And this time it doesn't involve your truly (for once)
Today's story starts a couple months back in November 2024
Let me introduce you to Iskall85
Iskall85 is a popular Swedish Minecraft Youtuber, whos been making YouTube videos since 2006. In fact he was an original playtester for Minecraft, even having his MC account personally gifted to him by the games creator (and /r/drama mod) Notch!
Iskall is most known for Minecraft videos on the 'Hermitcraft' Server, which is a collaborative private survival server which several YouTubers are part of and make videos on. Some of the Popular YouTubers who play are MumboJumbo, Grian, Ethoslab ect.
In fact Iskall was one of the more popular members with his Hermitcraft episodes regularly clocking above 400k views each, and rightfully so as he had been making content on the server as a member since 'Season 4' (Feb 2016), That's nearly a decade of content being made with his fellow members.
And it's worth noting for those unaware, that Hermitcraft is extremely culturally prominent within Minecraft as a whole. They are friends with a lot of the development staff, probably have played a small hand in suggesting new features for the game. And generally very highly respected in the Minecraft space.
(especially in compared to their other Minecraft YouTuber contemporaries like that fricking butthole Gerg)
Hermitcraft also presents itself as everyone involved not just being collogues but genuine friends off camera as well. WHOLESOME CHUNGUS
So it came to everyone as a massive shock when the Official Hermitcraft X account posted this vague update that Iskall85 has resigned from Hermitcraft after some mysterious "allegations" (As well as another member called Stressmonster, but more on her later)

NOW I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE ALL THINKING!!!! What would make his long term friends and colleagues drop him like a fricking BRICK so suddenly! It has to be really fricking bad.
Oh.... Well that's a change for once.
But have no fear, white ran through foids are here!
A few hours later, these private complains became public with the release of "Kass' Statement".
Who is Kass? Some 30 year old mod of Iskall's groomercord server. Here's a link

Now I know you dramatards, You hate reading EFFORTPOST? MORE LIKE BORING POST!
Basically Iskall85 flirted with this b-word in dm's (HOW DARE HE!)
Even after flirting with her, she never said stop, or im not into you.
In-fact Iskall asks her to get Skype so he can continue being flirty and she obliges (Clear manipulation from a position of power)
And despite this foid complaining that hes being heckin sexually active towards her, she then complains that he STOPPED messaging her
Somehow she paints this as manipulative evil behavior that BREAKS HER.... and she's right #BelieveAllWomen #Gerg2025YearOfGerg
A couple other statements were made by anonymous accounts, but confirmed by the female making the first statement (NON SUS AT ALL)

https://x.com/starssoul0808/status/1860827397534159283 (DELETED TWEET LITTERALLY AS IM WRITING THIS!!!)
(from archive.is)
If your asking if that's it? Yep! that's it!
That evil fricker Iskall forgot his fricking place as a Minecraft Youtuber. YOU WILL NOT HAVE S*X, YOU ARE KEN DOLL
In response what did his long time 'friends' and fellow youtubers do in response to this silly claim of what he does in private?
IMMEDIATLY DROP HIS BUTT!
they gave him 90 mins to respond upon receiving the messages to which Iskall didn't and then dropped him from all branding and the server.
- -MumboJumbo recalled Merchandise featuring references to him
-An episode of a podcast he was on was deleted.
-And Grian (another member) Changed The title and thumbnail of the last 6 YEARS of videos to remove any reference or image of Iskall.
- The final reveal when this all went down was that Stressmonster (That other youtuber that quit when he was removed) was most likely fricking Iskall behind the scenes, people found out that her name was also registered to the same residential property as Iskall in Sweden (Shes from the UK)
So many people assumed she left because she found out Iskall had been cheating on her with groomercord mods of all people.
And that's where it laid. UNTIL LIKE 6 HOURS AGO!
iskall uploaded this video "I was Cancelled"
Where he complains about he's cancellation, reveals the 90 min time limit they gave him, as well as some problems it caused for other projects he had going on.
The biggest question was in the comments though
Stressmonster is defending him? Which MAKES THE WHOLE SITUATION EVEN STRANGER???? WHY DID SHE QUIT THEN?
Why did hermitcraft (which i will remind you he worked with for nearly a decade) DROP HIM SO FAST!
Minecraft is full of autism truly.
Time for the xitter seethe
stopped 35 seconds in.

The Minecraft fandom is so straggy it's unbelievable, I would say it's because they're all children but a concerning number of 20+ year olds still make playing Minecraft and watching Minecraft youtube videos their dominant hobby. I've never met someone over the age of 14 who regularly plays Minecraft that was mentally sound.

Lets get even lower so people get more insecure about playing it.

I'm dropping it to 12. Game is low key not that great. Everything about it is kind of trash outside of the building aspect. People just get attached to it because they obsessed over it as a child and are nostalgic. I also think Pokemon is garbage for similar reasons.

This but for all video games. If you can legally swing peepee and still have an Xbox or a steam then your dopamine receptors are ill and your amygdala is underdeveloped.

Fiiiinne. It also has an impressive modding scene + allows community hosted servers. And that allows for a lot of variety.
I still hold though that if you don't enjoy building it has very little of value to offer.

I've still have my super Nintendo. 10 years ago I got it back out and the only games that are still fun to play are Mario kart and super Mario world. That's it. Nostalgia goggles are real

microjang added way too much dumb stuff and removed things that didn't feel bland enough until it was slop
I think beta versions of minecraft are much better, and was suprised to learn it's not just nostalgia
Inventory balance actually made sense, the music was a dozen times better, colors were brighter, mapgen was more "gamey" and fun
still gonna play minetest tho
