Since apparently i have the reputation of some kind of Newgrounds predator poacher i though i'd take a look at the accusations as someone that has experience forwarding docs and helping victims get the word out about misconduct within our community.
If this is hitting your ears only now, a well known member of the Newgrounds community, Chris from OneyPlays, has been accused of grooming and statutory rape by an anonymous individual... And his bitter ex-girlfriend, Kamikaze Shortbus, that has been on a petty campaign to tear him down for quite a while now.
Keep in mind i am not any kind of authority on the law or anything, and this is just me commenting the situation as a passive observer that has been part of dramas like these before, so i generally know what makes strong evidence. Everything here is alleged and not ruled as either true or untrue in the court of law. Which is why i wanna highlight the wording of LIKELY dubious.
The Stream.
You can watch it here .
The first thing that might catch your eye is... How unseriously she takes the fucking situation as a whole.
The title, which is a direct reference to Idubbbz' long disowned series Content Cop, with an added caption similar to her extremely petty oney plays with my emotions stream, where she airs out intimate details and petty grievances from her time dating Chris.
The stupid police hat. The dedicated stupid meme artwork displayed throughout the video. Oh good lord...
Kamikaze Shortbus has been infamous in the Oneyplays space for a while now, due to being an unreliable emotionally unstable narrator that is willing to latch onto anything for the sake of getting back at Chris. Which is context that already makes people less inclined to take these accusations seriously, as the messenger is the worst possible person for the job here.
The theatrical and silly presentation of the evidence alone, makes people less inclined to be trustful, which is very visible in the comment section of the stream. Accusations of this nature have to be handled gracefully and with respect to the victim. This concept, is foreign to Shortbus, who in an attempt to latch onto these accusations for her own gain, turned the whole situation into an unnecessary shit show.
The Google doc.
You can read it yourself here.
The first thing that came to my attention, is just how short the whole document is. Which, if you're going to be proving misconduct, you want to include as many receipts as possible.
Why it's a very bad sign - It's a sign that there isn't much evidence to go by. Docs tend to be rather massive due to how much space screenshot evidence typically takes up.
The statement, which is very short.
Some comments by me :
The accusations themself surround something that allegedly happened around 14 years ago. Which is yet another suspicious sign. Why did the victim wait 14 whole years to come out about this, conveniently when someone else is trying to cancel Chris by any means necessary.
The mention of the evidence being submitted to the police is absurd. What the fuck are they gonna do with weak screenshots that allegedly prove child grooming that took place more than a decade ago? If the victim wanted to get any justice out of this, she'd have better luck in court rather than attempting to apparently bring this to the police this late. Which inclines me to believe the claim about bringing this to the police is either untrue, or painfully naive and ignorant of the law (which in the US, differs from state to state too.)
Willingly admitting to omitting information that would be THE MOST VITAL here. You'd want to include these explicit conversations BECAUSE they would be the direct evidence of inappropriate misconduct against a minor. Willingly excluding these is yet another red flag that makes me raise a brow that the accusers may be dishonest.
This statement feels very influenced by Shortbus in how bad faith it is. Implying there may be more underage victims, while...
The screenshot evidence is extremely flimsy to say the least.
The screenies in the doc are majorly of a mysterious Facebook account that has no way of being reliably traced back to Chris. Which is extremely important when you're relying on screenshots to prove something. I personally recommend recording chatlogs for this reason, making sure to include the profile they're coming from so then it can be compared with the official profiles of the alleged perpetrator.
While the conversations in the screenshots are rather nasty and inappropriate, since the actual alleged sexting was WILLINGLY OMITTED BY THE AUTHOR there is really no evidence for much here. Especially since the account this is allegedly from, is long gone and can't be traced back.
*This is not everything in the doc!!! There is 9 cropped screenshots like this in total. ^
It's worth mentioning that Chris has two public Facebook profiles, one and two. The first one has posts going as far back as 2012. If the mysterious deleted account was Chris', it was likely a private profile that got deleted. Again, would've fuckin' helped if the username wasn't gone.
There is also a low quality out of context Snapchat screenshot.
This one actually has an account username in it!
I've legitimately so far found no proof that Chris ever had a Snapchat account of this name, OR a Snapchat account entirely. I've dug on wikitubia, OneyPlays, OneyNG youtube and his Newgrounds account. Since this name includes his online alias, it implies it would've been traced back SOMEWHERE as a form of contact, but i've found NOTHING that could prove this account was indeed his, or an account that actually exists.
It's incredibly easy to just conveniently change the name of a Snapchat profile and snap a picture with a different phone.
The only real piece of evidence in the entire doc.
These pictures of Chris with the accuser are THE ONLY tangible piece of evidence in the entire google doc. We know these are real, and that the girl in them is a real person, because KiwiFarms users found the girl and phonebooked her. I will obviously not share the dox around to protect her personal information and urge you to not seek it out, but we have confirmation that this is a real woman that is different from any other women brought up as speculations as who is in the pictures.
The expose account confirmed the dox as true, which is the worst and most moronic thing you can possibly do. Showing that either Shortbus, or the accuser aren't exactly intelligent and are utterly clueless about opsec and actual anonymity.
These pictures prove that these two met up in a hotel room.
...But that's everything.
Obviously, proving they've had extremely illegal sex is not really possible.
So the strongest piece of evidence, is that they've met at all IRL. Which- Where in the hell were the accuser's parents? How did they not notice their underage daughter was gone? Did their kid going off somewhere by herself did not hit any alarm bells in their heads? Which hotel was that? What State/city/town did they meet in? Where are screenshots proving the plans to meet up IRL? We get absolutely no details or further backstory on this meetup, again, important information was omitted for some reason that could've helped paint the context and helped fact check the evidence.
Which makes the whole situation extremely problematic. There is some evidence they've met, but the lack of context and the impossible to fact check screenshots don't give much credibility to the accusations.
The public response.
The response from the public has been very mixed.
Obviously, Chris' fans have not really taking a liking to the claims, but i have to say that their reaction is utterly shameful. It's an explosion of misogyny and rape culture-eque justifications for alleged grooming, a lot of them are clinging onto misinformation in an attempt to defend Chris in an extremely misguided way. This kind of response is completely unacceptable, and it betrays a lot about the kind of fandom Oneyplays had cultivated.
But there is also a loud group of people siding with the alleged victim as well. Mostly people who don't like Oneyplays/Chris to begin with. Often bringing up his past connections to Shadman.
THE SHOE.
As fucking stupid as this is, i have to make sure to debunk the shoe defense. Which yes, it's unironically brought up as a point to defend Chris and to claim the pictures as fake.
In the pictures, Chris is shown wearing New Balance BB550PB1shoes.
Some genius on Kiwifarms schizoposted about it being impossible to be real, because they somehow came to the conclusion that this model of shoe was released in 2019.
This is so easy to fact check.
From the new balance website (sorry for it being in Polish). This model of shoe debuted as far back as 1989, and it was even seen in the Dr.House show, which has ran since 2004.
Why are some screenshots from 2004?
Another stupid piece of misinformation spread around by defenders. The claim comes from a screenshot of a TWEET circulating around, claiming that the dates on some of the screenshots are inconsistent. You can fact check this easily by just scrolling through the doc, and noticing that all the dates are consistently from 2013-2014 on all Facebook screenshots.
I think it's easy to understand that it's a dumb fabrication.
Conclusion.
With the shady evidence, horrible mishandling and delivery of the information by an opportunistic leech known as Kamikaze Shortbus, and the lack of response from Chris and his friends which is unlikely to come, since Chris never publicly responded to any recent controversies, weather from Shortbus or Ding Dong and Julian, i think the entire situation will mostly blow over without any real consequences for Chris if the accusations are true.
People who already dislike him, will keep disliking him, and his fans will keep supporting him.
I personally believe there is SOMETHING when it comes to the photos, but with the lack of important information and concrete evidence, and the fact that the whole thing happened 14 years ago, i don't really believe the situation as presented by the accusers to be what it's dressed as, since the evidence is impossible to prove as valid due to the passing of time and no evidence of the accounts the messages apparently came from ever existing.
Again, all of this, coming out only now. In a time extremely convenient for Shortbus during her general smear campaign against Chris.
What is certain, is that Kamikaze Shortbus blatantly exploited the alleged victim to further her own agenda.
I think i'm gonna sit back and watch the situation evolve. That's all i can say for certain now.
