The fact he not only has to reveal his whole face, but all his insecurities, just to make a honest response breaks my heart.

I hated how they were like “the fact that kwite hasn’t spoken yet proves he’s a rapist” like holy crap give the man time to think, no one needs to gather evidence on a deadline

What INFURIATES me is that the moment kwite released the video, everyone who were calling him those things quickly deleted them and posted anti-orion things, saying they didn't believe them from the start. No apology or anything, just switching sides and pretending nothing happened

This "guilty until proven innocent" crap had my entire school thinking my brother was a rapist. The girl had to come forward and say she was lying and a lot of people still didn't believe him. He had girls sign a "contract of consent" afterwards or he would refuse to sleep with them.

The worst part about his situation is that he spent his whole KZfaq carrer trying to protect his identity and sensitive information about himself and now he had to put it all out there just to prove he wasn’t a bad person.

I wish people on Twitter can stop saying that he’ll be “fine”. He won’t be fine, he had to deal with harassment, fear and anxiety over a lie.

I sympathize with Kwite. I was accused of SA by an ex. as a result, I was potentially facing up to 10 yrs in prison for a crime I never committed. it was by pure luck of her changing her story so many times that I avoided going to prison

It's just so sad how his 'face reveal' was done when he was in such a horrible situation and not in a way where he was comfortable and finally found confidence in himself.

Imagine abusing someone, than blaming the person that YOU ABUSED. Scumbag behavior.

as an SA victim, I find it so disgusting and infuriating that people are so willing to lie about being assaulted just bc they don't like someone on the internet. it makes actual victims scared to come out with their assault bc people are now just going to assume they're lying. also, kwite was the literal actual victim during their whole relationship and leading up to his video. I feel so very sorry for him

The worst part was that no one ever said sorry. Like twitter itself is a hole of misery, no one said "dang man sorry about that." they all just moved on.

as someone who was SA'd multiple times and then had to deal with harassment from false SA accusations after all of that, what happened to kwite sickens me to my core. it's been almost a year since i was falsely accused and i'm still suffering and i still risk being harassed daily because of the absolute mess that was made by my accuser. (shit, she even tried to get in contact with me a few days ago and is still talking about me, including telling people around her about private matters that i went through. she brought up my recent suicide attempt, that i kept secret, at a mutual friend's daughter's funeral. this kind of shit doesn't leave you, even in the event of tragedy.) it's so disgusting to see this happening to someone else on such a large scale. kwite handled it so well and with such decorum. it makes me feel so much less alone and so much more valid in my sexual trauma; i just wish those feelings didn't have to come from seeing someone else's life nearly get ruined too. i truly hope that kwite is able to heal from this and move on with his life. and i hope that everyone who falsely accuses people of things like sexual assault, especially when the person they're lying about has been through that very thing, rots in the deepest pit of hell for all eternity. it's completely unacceptable.

how kwite handled this was unbelievably mature. id be absolutely beside myself if this happened to me. the fact that he suffered so much and still continues to be level headed is insane to me.

The things Orion did to kwite aren't just horrible, but should be downright criminal. Things like this don't just ruin kwite's life, but discredit actual victims in tons of other scenarios

*What makes me sick is even though he's innocent, his career is still irreparably damaged & his accuser will face ZERO long term consequences. They should be thrown in prison.*

Instead of a comment, let me tell you a story Back during my freshman year, there was a girl who liked to make shit up to start drama. One day she decided she was going to start saying that the nicest male teacher in the school had been SAing her. He was fired, and put on the registry, even after the claims were proved false, and the girl was suspended for 3 days. Later this same year, one of the female teachers was found to be grooming and regularly assaulting one of the male students. The male student was moved to a different class only 4 or 5 rooms away, and the teacher got off with 6 weeks paid leave.

What's sad about this is that even if you clear your name after dealing with false allegations, the damage is already done. Kwite didn't deserve any of this!

Everytime false accusations ruin someone's life, it makes it harder for ACTUAL people to come forward and that's so sad. Despicable to fuck up someone's career like this

Orions "apology" really does show just how horrid a human can be

As a person who got raped and experienced a lot of physical abuse I feel horrible with people lying about such a sensitive topic. It makes real victims less believable. I hope he will get better cause he doesn't deserve this kind of shit.

As a victim of repeated rape and abuse, I am disgusted with people who make up lies, especially when those lies are designed to hurt someone innocent. It hurts victims and it hurts good people. Assault liars are the scum of the earth.

This dude was just chill, literally had to expose his deep af insecurities about sexual anxiety and self harm all just so his life wouldn't be ruined by some asshole, and still he couldn't get past it forever

Charlie is basically the voice of the silent majority imo. He says everything that most people understand but don't spew out loud

"You dont want the truth, you just want somebody to hate." is a great sentence that I will probably use a lot now. I've had people stalk my socials to find my private ones, just to blow up in my face about shit I keep to myself. And even after trying to explain calmly to get them to calm down even a little bit, I'm always met with "I don't care, I just think you're a freak/etc. etc." and then they block me. Every single time. People like that are truly the worst.

Kwite was literally just trying to be kind to this person, and when he eventually cut them off for the sake of his own mental health, they proceeded to try and ruin his life for the next six years. Words can't describe how angry I am, or how sorry I feel for Kwite. I hope he can heal from this.

Can we all pretend we never saw Kwite's face? I wanna keep seeing him as a flying hoodie

This is such an unhealthy mentality of guilty until proven innocent and this has been around even before the internet I always think of how the media portrays people in such a negative light only to be completely false.

The fact that Kwite didn’t press charges is WILD truly a calm person

Those who falsely accuse others for rape needs to be charged. Too many are getting too comfortable doing this.

"You don't care about the truth, you just want someone to hate." Is a wonderful summation of not only twitter, but a large portion of humanity at this point in time. Very well stated.

It angers me when someone falsely accuses someone of SA. Not only because it’s hurts the person being accused but hurts actual victims because “what if you’re just lying like ____ did?” Even if they’re telling the truth

The part I hate the most is the fact some people are just saying “he can just get over it” when it’s a fact HE was the one that was sexually assaulted and harassed by Orion. Where’s the care and compassion for his assault?

So lemme get this straight, ORION was the one being creepy, weird and even harassed Kwite at one point, Kwite not only had to go through that, but then had to go through everyone thinking he was thw bad guy????

I’m glad that Kwite has started posting again, hope he recovers from this terrible event that happened to him.

As a victim of sexual abuse this makes me so so sad, this both hurts his image so much and hurts us being believed when we finally dare to tell our stories

My heart goes out to Kwite. I wasn’t even aware of this situation till I saw Kwite’s video with his face in the thumbnail and knew it was serious. Twitter is an absolute cesspool

I watched Kwite’s whole video response and it’s absolutely soul crushing. Disgusting that someone would have this much malice and was so willing to destroy his career

As a victim of sexual assault, I was horrified to speak about it for over a year before I finally told my principal what my classmate did to me. I remember, word for word, her telling me “If it really happened, you wouldn’t have waited a year. He graduates in a month, stop trying to ruin his career.” It pisses me off when false accusations like this happen because it doesn’t just hurt the person being accused, but it affects every other person who actually IS a victim, because then people are inclined to assume it’s for attention.

Scrolling through the comments i see a lot of people talk about their SA experience and its so sad to read about. I hope you guys recover soon and im so sorry you had to experience that ❤❤

the worst thing is that nobody is going to learn from this situation and they’ll do all of this again the next time it happens

Orion: 3 years to come up with a couple edited DMs Kwite: 3 weeks to provide everything around Orion’s “proof.”

I know I'm late to this video, but thank you for posting this. I was sexually assaulted in high school by my then girlfriend and I was a virgin before this, and after we broke up she immediately started claiming that I was the one to assault her and I went through a very similar situation. It's very reassuring to hear you talk about this story and call people like her and all those who act without thinking out. It really helps bring light to situations like Kwite and I's, especially since many don't give a second thought when a male is the one being accused. So thank you Charlie, this video really helped.

I’ve said “innocent until proven guilty” in school while me and my friends were talking about an alleged rapist in our school and they gave me shit for it. Turns out he was innocent.

The worst thing about this whole drama is that even though Kwite has definitively proved his innocence, there are dipshits on Twitter and TikTok who will not only maintain that he’s guilty when he isn’t, but will go out of their way to gaslight and harass him for the rest of his life.

it’s insane how “innocence until proven guilty” was not only ignored but completely thrown out the window, people were seriously ready to demonize him from the start.

i genuinely feel horrible for being one of the people who fully trusted orion. i learned a lot from this situation and i'm never trusting any side of a story without hearing all sides first

It's sad we live in a day and age where Charlie has to explain the basics of common human decency

The amount of people who don't realize that what Orion did with leveraging selfharm to keep kwite close is textbook emotional abuse is honestly worrying.

The entire situation is not only sad for kwite but extremely frustrating to me. The fact that the accuser lied about such things really pisses me off because people like them is the reason why actual victims either never come out or no one believes them. Best wishes to kwite man you are strong.

I fucking hope that this becomes a lesson for the internet. Don't believe every allegation against someone. Yet, I believe it won't be. I feel the internet in a month or two is going to completely forget this and go back to "canceling" everybody for zero proof

The Kwite situation has taught me a very valuable lesson for not just the internet but for life, and that is that you don’t have to get involved. I really like Kwite and watched him a lot before he took a break (which he deserved), and when the allegations came out I was sad because I had never had a creator I really liked been accused of something like that before, and he was a genuinely funny dude. So I unsubscribed from him and all his alternative channels… that was it. I didn’t go and harass him and try to ruin his life, and just pulled from his direct line of support. And when they were proven false I subscribed again. You don’t have to insert yourself in a situation because it’s on the internet, and while I’m not saying to ignore victims. You can still comfort and console them, but you don’t have to go so far as to bash the accused because you think they’re deplorable when you don’t know the full story yet. Now every time there’s internet drama I kinda need to sit back and wait for the both sides, and see what each side has to offer.

The worst part about this is that it makes it that much harder for real victims to get help. And in the end helps real abusers rather than stop them.

Glad you're covering this, I feel so fucking bad for him

I learned a while ago now, that I don't always need to have an opinion. I don't always need to make a decision on everything. In my experience - most people who react the way ppl reacted against Kwite are younger ppl with less life experience. They're not stupid, they're less experienced in life and sometimes are less emotionally mature.

i have been a fan of kwite for some time now and seeing those allegations broke my heart. i just kept saying to myself that it wasnt real and i waited for his response and when it came out it was in fact the greatest youtuber response moment of all time. i know that he is considering quitting youtube but with his kind of talent it would be a shame to see him go. with his face everywhere now he cant continue his comedic bits like floating hoodie and dating springtrap. I hope he comes back at some point but for now he can take his time. he deserves a break.

the most damning thing ive seen showing the accusers intention was them bragging, tweeting "i could totally ruin his life" before doing this. they KNEW it was a huge deal and still lied. unbelievable.

I feel so bad for him. This literally broke him and he might not return because of this. People need to be careful when throwing the word “rapist” and “groomer” around unless you have serious evidence, because this is proof that it can destroy not only you but your career.

unpopular opinion but false acusations of this magnitude should have mandatory prison time

He just started posting and streaming agian in late 2023 as a big kwite fan I am over joyed

Orion's actions are the exact reason why actual victims are scared to come out against their abusers.

People who make up false allegations need to have actual real serious consequences. As someome who was SAed for years but was forced to keep quiet because they are 'family' it extremely hurts me to see how easily some people get away with sexual assault and accusing others of assault. Because such cases make it harder for people who actually go through because of these disgusting liars. Hope Kwite's doing better.

bro i've watched Kwite for so long, it really makes me sad and pisses me off what happened to him, Kwite needs some Justice really bad.

I've been accused of SA before on twitter, people don't understand how much anxiety accusations give you. like I could not sleep properly for weeks after the accusation and having people DM me calling me a disgusting pig etc. even now I'll remember it every now and then and my stomach will just drop and I'll nearly vomit. you don't just "get over it" or just be fine.

As someone who hasn’t came out with my horrifying experience yet it truly is so painful because the pain of such an event is so incredibly painful and damaging so to just see people come out with false claims and diminish people like me who already feel so scared to take legal action etc is just rlly sick. I am sorry and hope this person receives punishment. The comments did comfort me and I am so thankful because so many people do truly support and see the damage it does to actual stories 😭

People need to be punished harder for false accusations, the amount of damage someone can cause with little repercussion is honestly scary.

This is so sad because Kwite is such a genuine and sweet guy. He doesn’t deserve this. :(

There's always caffeine addicted chronically online fiends online to accuse someone of something. Be it assault, or whatever new psychological term they just learned.

"Believe all victims" So you think it's okay to trust that strangers on the internet won't lie to you?

This whole judge, jury, executioner mob mentality is the worst byproduct of social media. Can't stand how literally anyone can make accusations about another person and hundreds, thousands, even millions of people will instantly believe them and if the accused doesn't respond within 24 hours they're automatically guilty. Whomever accused Kwite deserves the same consequences they were trying to give him.

The way he was doxxed was so vile too. He was UNCOMFORTABLE with Orion taking pictures because he wanted to stay a faceless content creator, and then his very fear was thrown back in his face after Orion shared said pictures with other people and lied about it. Overall just an incredibly awful situation and I hope after everything Kwite can at least somewhat recover from the trauma and stress this has undoubtedly caused.

Kwite is such a true legend. It’s such a shame he had to deal with this BS and reveal his face, insecurities, and anxieties for the entire world to see because of some piece of human trash.

As a person also dealing with false accusations at the moment I feel for him I wish him the best no one ever deserves this pain

He should absolutely sue if not for defamation then at least for pain and suffering. I don't want to live in a world where doing something like this to someone elses career and reputation is legal and can be easily gotten away with. I feel so bad for Kwite and think he absolutely deserves some form of compensation for his troubles

The fact that Kwite had a bad feeling about Orion almost 5 years ago, did everything he could to distance + protect himself- and this STILL happened is heartbreaking. In my personal opinion as someone who has been abused by a narcissist- Orion’s combination of love bombing, emotional manipulation/abuse (in many forms), and trying to make himself look like the victim while slandering the person he abused is very much covert narcissist behavior. Covert narcissists are wolves in sheep’s clothing, and usually the only people who know are their victims. They literally did the DARVO tactic. Deny, Attack, Reverse, Victim and Offender.

Honestly.. I can not believe someone would do that to another human being. What do you gain from accusing someone other than getting attention. It is absolutely disgusting to see someone actually think of doing something like that to someone completely innocent.

my ex had similar accusations of me and in result my childhood best friend (we met in 5th grade and the situation occured freshman year of college) believed her because, and i quote, he "always believes the woman." I've healed since but this kind of shit is simply atrotious. Pretending to be a victim to me is in turn spitting in the face of anyone who was/is actually a victim.

I felt awful for him as well. Poor dude did a whole face reveal and I got excited because I hadn't heard anything about any allegations (I'm not on Twitter much) but then it was this super serious video where he highlights some of his biggest insecurities and goes through all the texts etc. His video was so well made and he sounded so sincere and honest and vulnerable. What makes me SO angry is not only did the accuser lie (or maybe convince himself idk) but now he cast doubt on any other victim of abuse or r*pe or anything like that. It's very frustrating because there are lots of youtubers that are ACTUAL creeps and DO deserve to get taken down for it, but this doesn't seem to be the case here, and it just muddies the water when it comes to real abuse.

What pisses me off is that whoever started the lie gets off scot-free while Kwite has now to deal with the anxiety and trauma of having had to deal with this crap for who knows how long, maybe for the rest of his life. We all deal with anxiety, fear, depression, etc differently and this was a totally unnecessary attack on a person that has done absolutely nothing to deserve it. I can only hope that whoever did it gets karma's undivided attention for the rest of their life...

His videos single handedly got me through a bad break up I almost died during. Sucks to see him done like this 💔

as someone who was wrongly said to be a sexual assaulter. I am still getting backlash from it, even when it has been proven wrong. and I am a minor. so it will be 10 times easier for me to go through this than it will for kwite. thank you kwite for becoming an inspiration for me

What's horrifying to think is that this can happen to any faceless youtuber just to force them to face reveal out of spite.

Kwite is honestly one of the bravest people on the internet. He's a very private person and was just forced to blurt it all out there.

Situations like this are horrible. Not only do they damage those who are accused terribly and most likely irreversibly, and it's extremely disrespectful to those who have actually gone through these kinds of situations.

As an SA victim myself, I hate it when people lie and make up allegations like this. It makes it much harder for real victims, male, female, or otherwise, to come forward. I really wish people would stop making allegations like these up for clout or to ruin someone's life or career.

Kwite should definitely take legal action against the accuser and bring defamation cases like this one to court

False accusations should be punished just as harshly as the crimes they are accusing. False accusations ruin lives.

This is why I don't go on Twitter.

It's crucial to take in all accounts of a situation in any argument so that you can recognize when you are wrong and build on each other to get as close to the truth as possible.

In sophomore year of highschool I got accused of sexual assault by my ex girlfriend and it ended up evolving into rape and physical abuse rumors. It was so devastating because not even a single person had my back and everyone who I thought was my friend stabbed me in the back immediately, they didn’t even bother to ask my side of the story. The hardest part was some of those friends I had been friends with since young childhood, and I never thought they’d just switch like that. My house got egged and I got threatened all the time, and I even got in a couple fights. I was kind of popular so the rumors spread to even other schools, and people who I had never even met before would dm me or tell me in person “aren’t you that rapist guy” and everyone just jumped on the hate train. It ruined my high school experience so badly I had to move schools twice and almost self deleted twice. These rumors truly are life altering and sometimes they will straight up ruin your life. I’m so glad to see Kwite getting his justice that I was never lucky enough to get.

i've been watching kwite since 2017, the fact that he might not come back because of this makes it so much worse. he's always been a good guy, no one deserves that.

I originally didnt even know about the drama til 3 months after kwite posted the big video showing his face and was so confused

Kwite needs to do a defamation lawsuit fr

After the Slazo situation, I started to wait for both sides. And when Kwite came out with his side, he came out with receipts and chat logs from every conversation. Now that Orion has been exposed, I'm waiting on a lawsuit from faking medical forms and placing that doctor's name and the office. Everyone who tried to cancel Kwite owes him a public apology.

Make decisions with more information not less.

This is an absolutely horrific situation and having been SA’d myself years ago I’m disgusted that anyone can lie about this, but I know people are unfortunately capable of it. This is awful for the accused person involved but also for other survivors of R*pe and assault, because it’s hard enough to come out about it but what makes it harder is having people label you as a liar and question every detail making you relive the situation time and time again. I’m truly disgusted by this mess and just really sorry for him being accused of something so heinous which turns out he didn’t do.

I’m praying Kwite’s gonna be ok, ever since he posted “For the Record” he hasn’t done anything, his channel has made zero content since the incident and I worry for him.

I feel for him as a victim of false domestic violence allegations. The stress can kill you, literally.

harassing anyone before any situation is fully absolved is insane. The internet has made everything a spectacle and just "drama". I'm so happy that kwite is innocent. False accusations just make real victims less likely to be believed and in this case, the accuser blaming the real victim and going as far as to fake documents that literally have typos in them

It’s truly kwite a horrible situation

This has happened much to frequently online and it’s so sad.
