Overview

Cryaotic Sexual Misconduct Allegations refers to accusations made against YouTuber Ryan Cryaotic Terry that he used his influence to "groom" female fans, befriending them at a young age with the intention of having romantic relationships with them when they came of legal age. Cryaotic appeared to confirm the allegations in YouTube video afterwards.

Background

On June 17th, 2020, Twitter user @LadyTiabenie[1] posted a story about a person whom she developed romantic feelings when she was 16. She says, "On my 18th birthday, things took a turn and I was too blinded by rose-colored glasses to see what had actually happened to me." She also says she had heard stories from other women who had similar experiences with this person. The person in her story was unnamed, but it was confirmed to be Cryaotic.


2011:I was 16 when I became a fan, soon after a friend. You were 22. I admired and cared for the person you were, not the persona you put up. I developed feelings for you and you knew. You never discouraged them, just amusingly kept me at arms length for when you felt lonely. On my 18th birthday, things took a turn and I was too blinded by rose colored glasses to see what had actually happened to me. On my graduation day, you told me you couldn't return my feelings as you were too busy messing around with your best friends girl. Said I was a good backup option though. You still kept me around for those 2am calls when you had no one else. I started my first year of college when you told me there was someone else (found out later they weren't of age either). But again, rose colored glasses, I thought I was special cus you kept me around when you were lonely. I made terrible decisions with you, ones that hurt people I cared for, and I have to live with that. I was 20 when I told you I couldn't do that anymore and that I was hurting. I will always remember the response I got back in which you told me the only use id ever have to you was as "a piece of ass". I told your girlfriend at the time everything. I woke up the next morning and you were gone, as was the community and fandom I felt comfortable and safe in for years. I was 24 when we connected again, I was looking for...something, an apology, closure, I don't know. Something to fix the years of being used as your personal therapist and toy. It didn't take long for you to start up old habits. I just wanted an innocent friendship with you. I've since learned about so many other young and impressionable girls with similar stories. I didn't want a public twitter apology, I wanted changed behavior. I'm 25 now and what I want most of alli freedom. I'll never get the pieces of me that you took back but I can never replace them with something better if l'm holding on to the hurt you gave me. For anyone reading, thank you for letting me share this.

Developments

On June 20th, 2020, Cryaotic responded to the allegations in a video that featured him talking over a black screen. In the video, he mentions his YouTube channel and hiding behind a persona while rarely addressing the specific allegations. However, he does mention, that he "cheated on his girlfriend with people who he didn't realize were even underage in the first place." In the description of the video, he said his interactions were all online and not physical.[2]



In a pinned comment, he added:

This video was made during a manic state, and is not accurate of what a proper apology looks like. I deeply regret it, as I never let the actual discussion properly be had. This will be rectified in a future video after I properly address those affected, individually, instead of how I chose to slaphazardly go about this vain atttempt to save face like a coward so many people have done before me.
I do not want to delete it, because everyone's concerns and complaints are 100% valid, and should not be skirted around anymore.
I apologize for my actions, but I promise to deliver a proper, coherent explanation keeping truly factual description with no attempt at garnerning sympathy, but addressing what needs to be said when people are hurting. I needed to come to grips that I was projecting my own insecurities constantly, telling people I never cared what people thought of me, and it is time for myself as a man to address that and so much more.
Thank you for your patience while I take care of these personal matters in the next few days, and I'll let my actions in the future speak for my more than these words here ever will.

He also posted a tweet featuring the same statement.[3]

Fellow streamer @dexbonus[4] tweeted, "I'm really disappointed and sad and shocked. I hope all the people who have been used or abused by my peers are taking care of themselves. YT/Streamers: if YOU are the reason your own community isn't safe for young viewers, QUIT," gaining over 1,200 retweets and 13,000 likes (shown below, left). Twitter user 1800PCY[5] posted a Google Document compiling other allegations, including stories from accusers Cheyenne, "Auri," and "Ziegs" as well as responses from Cryaotic's streaming partner Scott Jund,[6] who denied knowing about Cryaotic's behavior.
