I was in a discord server of a friend group that also featured maple and a bunch of TMN contributors and that was where they talked about all the weird stuff, with me in it that same server. Now, I didn’t see it, in fact I was unaware of the entire situation until Maple brought it up to me, I was then told I was going to be kicked from smallbrain (the server mentioned earlier) which initially devastated me because I still didn’t know much of the situation and also admittedly, I am a very stupid person and am easily convinced. However, Maple still didn’t tell me about what they talked about so it was why I didn’t understand at first. Recently, some other friends outside of smallbrain have been actually telling me what was going on. Maple and some of the other members of smallbrain used me as a scapegoat in order to downplay and get out of the situation. Essentially they pinned the blame on me for just so happening to be in that server, and they kicked me, believing that it would fix everything despite them talking about not okay stuff. I am currently in one of if not the most stressful, lowest points of my life, especially now because of this. I was used and almost manipulated by the members of smallbrain into believing their side. Some of them have dm’ed me yesterday, attempting to apologize, explain their side of things, and wanting to talk with me about the situation. I agreed initially but was talked out of it so I almost fell for it AGAIN. Now is everything I said true? I don’t know. I feel like I am still in the dark about a lot of things and it’s hard to know if the members of smallbrain actually do care about me.

I apologize if all of this is sloppy I am writing this on a whim. But this is my side of the story and what I have personally experienced in the situation. If Maple or any of the members of smallbrain are reading this, I have nothing to say except to request for Syrex to be removed from TMN, please and thank you.

And to everyone else, thank you for reading, I’m sorry for the people who were hurt and lost friends because of this. I still can’t help but blame myself for what happened so the least I could do is apologize.
