nebulous

I don’t know the full extent of the stories, but the way screenshots are edited sits really wrong with me, how they cut off conversations instead of providing the full context means we can’t tell what was said before or after to get the response brano gave at the time. I’m not defending what Brano said, but we aren’t aware of what they said to make brano say this.

It’s clear to me, at least, that they were pushing this to get dirt on him, regardless of whether he did any wrong doing or not.

Brano was, in my opinion, a very lonely person, who was alienated when he first joined due to his lack of English skills when joining a British server. I didn’t expect he was this lonely, but it’s clear that a group of MEN online have preyed on him and manipulated him into feeling safe enough to confide in them

and even enough for him to feel loving (very wrong) emotions towards them. Does this not strike you as sad? Even psychotic?

If you feel like Brano was a predator, that’s fine, I don’t blame you after everything thats happened. But it’s clear to see the likes of @Lily and Beau/ @Birdy were clearly conspiring with each other when it came to messaging brano as seen in the pictures posted by them. There was also those working behind the doors, like @Nashi who somehow seems to be involved

even after his prior involvement with trying to fuck over Brano in the past for no real reason.

One last note I’d like to address is that the Headstaff dealt with this as fast as possible, and I believe the public post was made purely to put pressure on removing brano as the story they’ve fabricated wouldn’t hold up if questioned about it, which to my knowledge, was in the process of happening. This would force the staff into removing brano and banning him to save face.

I don’t expect a good response from these posts, and I understand that. But please try to understand that you’ve only gained half of the story and seen exactly what these individuals have wanted you to see.

Again, I'm not defending brano, but this was fucking sketchy from the word go, and I wouldn't exactly trust the word of the individuals who have came forward. I'm not victim shaming them, but they haven't provided us with more then we WANT to see to call brano a predator

I really do believe their was a push between the involved parties to get brano to say some incriminating shit, which, in my opinion, is just as bad

the fact you have to catfish someone for multiple months. getting to know them, how they tick, how they feel, and to betray that trust they've put forward so you can eject them from an online community? it wasnt smart or funny.

it was just really sad of them

Just gonna say that catfishing someone through posing as a 14 year old and manipulating them emotionally with only shit intentions is pretty deranged and whoever did it are pretty detached from reality. Not defending Brano, but my ideal result here would be both sides getting datastormed

I believe they've done this to push staff into punishing brano severely lucid. He wasn't exactly a shining star, but he wasn't a bad person until all this came out.

I've spoken to a lot of others about this, and we honestly believe that the start of Helix was the change in brano, because he lost his big following on clockwork

for him, it was starting fresh, he was lonely again, and then earlier this year he came across multiple people who wanted to engage with him on both a physical and emotional level

i absolutely believe that brano knew they werent fourteen, and they said that regardless to screenshot it and use it against him. that doesnt make the masturbation part right, but this has been set up

The whole situation is just quite depressing really - I can’t defend Brano because he did what he did, but it’s also quite clear that he was in a horrible headspace and was manipulated by someone that reeks of sociopathy. It just shows how low someone can stoop once their emotions are tugged at in a certain way when they’re vulnerable. It’s just a huge shame

tldr men pretended to be underage to catfish brano?

Aye both sides are weird fellas honestly

Not just one person though, multiple people. Over the span of three months at the VERY LEAST. They preyed on him to make him look bad and they got a handful of pictures out of three months, most of which are sketchy
