I dont have twitter so I'm making a post about this here. As someone who (sorta not really) grew up watching Wilbur Soot, I am so disappointed in him. What he did is awful, and his "apology" had barely anything to do with Shelby. He didn't take any sort of accountability. I am not going to make a huge thing about this, but I am in the #ShubbleSupporSquad.
Support Victims, and fuck Wilbur soot.
If you still support him after this, you are not welcome here. I do not support abusers, and people who do are not welcome on my page or in my life.
I'm sorry if this is how anyone is finding out; please make sure to take care of yourselves. I know a lot of people will be grieving memories right now.
EDIT: The most important thing right now is to support shubble. Send all the support you can her way.
Hiya I've decided to take down my previous posts because supporting Shelby is more important than focusing on the abuser.
Please remember that this is Shelby's brave choice to share this, so we support *her* in any way we can.
Shelby deserves the recognition of coming out on a such a brave thing then being known as "[who ever the abuser is] victim ex" or something. IDC who the abuser is, I am NOT paying any more attention to him as long as the name is not spoken. (Shelby can't say his name, they have their reasons legally.)
Please understand that we still do not know if it's Wilbur to began with. It shouldn't matter what so ever who the abuser even is, as I've realized this myself, you should be more focused on supporting shubble.
Support shubble. Ignore the abuser, we don't need to give him attention. We know he's dangerous and a bad person. Please remember human morals.
Shubble! Take silly art idk
Tried a new style cause I'm bored.
Yes ik the clothes don't exist I'm to TIRED.
People keep saying that shelby has the choice to share her abusers name or that she would if she wanted to. You do not know that! She may not be stating her abusers name for many reasons, including the fact she stated that the man is dangerous. Dangerous. I feel as though that is not clicking in people's heads that one of her first statements when sharing her story was that she believes he is dangerous. For all we know, if shelby were to share his name, it would put her in a worse position, and she would be unsafe. Understand that, for her sake. 🤍 support victims, always.

the wilbur soot situation
hi
im not a very big person on social media, nor do i post often, but i just want to get this out of my system. this post is just going to be a little rant and my take on the current situation. to anyone who is not yet caught up to the situation, i hope this can help a bit.
TW: discussions of abuse, domestic violence, death threats, etc
--------------------------------
when i first saw a video about wilbur soot's allegations, i thought it wasn't anything that bad. things like this happen to cc's all the time.
a while later, it kept popping up. i still thought it would go away eventually. i'm not proud of it in hindsight, but i cant change the past.
recently, i realized this situation was serious, and decided to catch up and investigate. what i was not prepared for was having my view of the world absolutely shattered. this will not go away. it will not be silenced by fanatics who believe their favourite cc can do no wrong. this is extremely serious.
a bit of backstory, so that my reasoning can clearly be understood:
i started getting into dsmp in around the start of 2021. i was immediately drawn to the dynamics of sbi as a group and started watching mainly their pov-s of things. the three quickly became a part of my daily life. i have been watching them ever since. went through some really bad times, especially after technoblade's death. after that, i started watching wilbur and phil more.
wilbur soot, i highly doubt you will read this, but if you do, i want you to know that I am disgusted by you, your behaviour, your response to said behaviour coming to light, and your sheer cowardice. you are a disgusting human being. there is no justification for your actions. no apology can undo what you have done. and from what i have heard and seen, shubble might not be the only victim.
as of my writing this, wilbur soot has not given any more responses besides the emotionless and frankly disgusting apology published on twitter/x
an overview of everything, my take on this situation, and just a little vent:
wilbur soot is an abuser and a manipulator. he ignored consent and a set safe word. as someone who heavily believes that consent and respecting it is common sense, i am disgusted, to say the least. i recommend reading more on the situation and watching an unbiased and neutral video
i looked for any possible justification, any way this could be misunderstood or redeemed. i have found none.
this man was my idol. i looked up to him, respected him, and admired him deeply. he was my comfort streamer and one of my favourite musical artists.
because of this, i will find it extremely difficult to cut him out of my life completely. however, i do not support him or condone his behaviour in any way. i don't think i will be able to completely sever all bonds to him. that's what abusers do, isn't it? they worm themselves into your life, make themselves irreplaceable, and, once their toxicity is discovered, they guilt trip you into staying, or make you think it's your fault or just paranoia.
the people who try to justify his behaviour, belittle or blame the victims of his abuse, or frankly any abuse, are absolutely disgusting. karma is a bitch, and i hope it hits them hard.
wilbur soot, it seems, has blown up his own career just like he did to l'manburg. i hope to never hear about him again, except to see him be brought to justice. domestic abuse is a felony.
my message for shubble:
you are incredibly brave. to speak up at all about anything like this takes a lot of courage. i despise the fact that the obsessive fans are threatening and blaming you. it is disgusting. but i am happy to see that you are still standing strong. your story has inspired others to come forward and take this man down once and for all.
EDIT: Insight a few days later
there have been more people telling their stories. the 'allegations' can no longer be referred to as such. i now add 'rapist' to the many words one uses to talk about this horrendous man.
i personally feel a bit gaslit myself. this person so many praised and referred to as this perfect man turned out to be an absolute incel.
one thing i noticed after looking through old clips is that there were in fact signs that seem obvious now. niki also mentioned the biting a few years ago. however, we all laughed it off as a bit. because we thought it was. because we were lead to believe it was. in one clip, wilbur tells niki to 'tell them how horrible i am to you,' and proceeds to start fucking hoovering. and everyone laughs it off. because that's his thing.
there are also signs in some of the songs in both ycgma and those released separately. especially your new boyfriend, soft boy, and the nice guy ballad. the last one is the most chilling. there are also some lyrics in ycgma, like 'abuse those i love/while i ostracize the ones who love me back'.
to end my little rant/essay, if wilbur soot is a manipulator, what is to stop him from (consciously or subconsciously) applying these behaviours to his online presence?
i genuinely hope he can get help and improve as a person, but that does not excuse his past behaviour. neither does his bad mental state during said behaviours.
Support Shelby Shubble! Don't censor Wilbur Soot/Will Gold's name - the more his public image becomes inseparable from his LITERAL CRIMES, the less likely he is to regain a platform or be able to continue to hurt people! Don't send him threats, but do send support to the actual victims! Any speculation or pressure on other content creators will not help!
I like this one I sat up late last night (night terrors whooo) and just thought "Why are people that are coming after wilbur not supporting shelby?" I don't wanna support wilbur (It pains me to write that out. I took my ten year old sibling to a lovejoy concert.) but I don't wanna spend my energy being angry at him either. I wanna spend my energy making shubble support squad buttons for my backpack/etsy. I wanna send positive tweets/tumblr posts and make sure I know that shelby is getting as much support as possible.
i don’t normally talk about many mcyters anymore BUT i want to say I’m seeing a lot more discourse about wilbur rn than i’m seeing support for shelby. y’all should evaluate your priorities rn and focus your energy towards shelby who took SO much emotional energy and bravery to speak up about abuse she went through. she deserves the fucking world and especially right now she needs all the positivity we can possibly give her.
And I'm sorry to my eleven year old self They wouldn't understand, but it's necessary We grow and change, and in better directions
This. This is the thought that keeps me up at night. How? How could this have happened to him? His legacy. He will never know. He won't be there to answer Tommy's questions, to keep Philza level, to support Shelby. He's gone. He will never know. What would he have done? What idea are we not thinking that he would have? How could he have changed the situation? He will never know. Technoblade will never know what has happened. Fuck Wilbur soot.
technoblade would be disappointed in him
Shelby herself is now confirming and agreeing with the things wilbur himself said in his apology. She was not abused. She consented and never removed consent.
