After talking it over with some people, I decided to change the title from “My apology” to what it is now. This isn’t for some deep reason – it was pointed out to my that “I SCREWED UP” in the thumbnail already made it obvious what it is, and I was told that “taking the L” would better indicate that I am trying to acknowledge that I screwed up. I don’t defend my actions on that livestream in any way, and I don’t want to give the impression that I do.
It’s over, I was wrong, and I take responsibility. I don’t like seeing members of my community defending me over the contents of my videos – that was never the major issue at hand here. Please do not defend my statements on that livestream – they were entirely gratuitous. I am taking the L, and I was wrong.
I had made an apology on Twitter, but I recognize it’s only fair I apologize on the platform on which I have the most reach, and on which the offenses I’m apologizing for occurred.
I wish I had some sort of magic button that could fix all of this, but I don’t. I stumbled HARD, but all I can do is get up and keep putting one foot in front of the other.
Thank you for watching and hearing me out – that’s all I ask.

I don't think there's ever been a "good" apology video in the history of YouTube, so I certainly doubt I'm gonna be the one to crack that code, but I still had to try.
I wanted to clarify here that I don't have any hard feelings against JonnyBlox.
As he said in his initial tweet, he had come for me, and I got very upset and retaliated. I genuinely believed that we had come to an understanding afterwards, but Jonny has recently indicated that was not the case.
Jonny – I apologize. I don't have any hard feelings towards you, and I really did mean it when I said that you are an influence on me. Jonny is a YouTuber I watched before I started making videos, and I think that's why I reacted so badly when I saw his critical tweet. It was especially painful, and I went on the attack in some misguided attempt to protect myself or something. That's my problem though, and I recognize that flaw in myself.
Beyond that, there have been a couple of allegations put forth against me that I do dispute, but I'm not going to address them here – I'm not here to defend myself. I will be handling these privately as best I can; a lot of the damage caused by my actions are in regards to interpersonal relationships, and those are things I need to try my best to resolve in private.
I thank you for hearing me out, and I'm sorry that I let everyone down.
EDIT: Oh shoot! Ramenov! Some people were acting like Ramenov and I were buddies now or something?? Come on. He wanted to come clean about what's been going on with JR's and defend himself on a few claims. I'm optimistic that he recognizes how messed up the pear situation was, but guys please… I'm not conspiring with Ramenov against anyone, that's actually insane. Everyone wants JR's to come out and be awesome – I promise that's my only motivation.

I just learned about your controversy that has been fixed now but man yeah you did kinda screw up, but this has to be one of the most honest apologies I’ve ever seen
No way you are gaining traction again, piss off you fnaf ruiner
You sure took the L and made it a W🤘
Haahaahaahahaaaaaahaaha😂😂😂
Theft king: I'm sorry for everything I've ever done
Me, And Only Me : i forgive you theft king, kind of…
the fact people still watch you is beyond sad, and if you wanted to grow as a person you wouldnt have an account
treat people better
you are sad af
you deserve all the harassments that actual people doing work worth something get
you are fully pathetic
yea man its k i forgive you
Also W Vid unnecessary tho
Skill issue
I really Hope you take the L again ^^
i am VERY late, but i don’t get how people say “wow they’re not even apologizing” and when they do they just say “they’re only doing this because they got caught
Thanks.
How about another L?
So you're apologizing yet you're still acting like a fucking man child and haven't learned anything after the whole Fiszi controversy, you're were defending a creep who makes creepy pedo fan-fics.
Trying to be the victim as always
how about apologize to sleep live
How are you 31
Hey listen man im with you. Although i do feel some of the aspects of this video arent as formal as they needed to be, i get where youre coming from. I tend to get mad at people and i cant back down from arguments. If i was a big influential youtuber like you i would 100% be in the same situation. I would try to get some people on my side through controversial means and try to win in the controversy. I am a bad person for this but to me it just feels like a normal human emotion and with your past i feel sorry for you man. Glad youre still uploading and you let this move on.
Dang I remember watching this guy and thinking hey he has a good vibe I really hope he goes forward and really tries not too be a butt
Yeah, you screwed up alright by acting like a child on stream!! You're in your 30's. Act like it!!
Cry about it baby man
I really wanna see how many dislikes this has 🤣
Lmaooooooooo
You did this to yourself.
I notice so many of these comments are negative and very much doubt whether Theft King’s apology was genuine. Not all of them are negative – there are some positive comments as well though. I’m just surprised at the wording of quite a few comments here. Even if Theft King was wrong, does that mean we should speak harshly to him?
I’m going through the videos to learn what the fuck happened here after 5 months, and I made a super long comment on the first video before saying I wasn’t going to do that again. This is why I don’t make promises.
It’s almost funny that it only took him about a month before he went back to making thumbnails that directly shit talk the devs. That’s just so disingenuous it’s unreal. And then, after a few shit-talking thumbnails, he had one about how he got “cancelled” or whatever. Wow, I am absolutely shocked that you lost subscribers. That’s terrible, I’m so sorry king 🥺
