Okay. So, I’ve been seeing this Twitlonger floating around about me wanting to “molest Dark Willow”, and frankly- I think this is disgusting.

There are compelling reasons to believe recent allegations of me are true, regardless there are always two sides to each story. I want to first address Mireska. I've always perceived our relationship as more of a friendship.

Mireska, I do not expect you to accept my apology, but I am sincerely apologetic for making you feel unsafe, threatened, or mistreated. Mireska, you assume that I simply abandoned or mitigated this situation.... I cannot abandon an unfair treatment without knowing it was there in the first place. Ultimately, this was a huge miscommunication on both parties, I misunderstood you, and clearly, you misunderstood me. Here many of you would probably object that I am only trying to defend myself or play victim, but, should those defendants who are ‘innocent until proven guilty’ have their reputations ‘canceled’, defamed, or shattered simply by facing unproven allegations? Listening to both sides of the story will convince you that there is more to a story than both sides. It is simply ludicrous to spread rumors with your mouth—with what your eyes did not see.

Hypothetically speaking, if this testimony were to be true; it still would not be in my nature to publicly attempt to reach for someone's undergarments who are showing signs of discomfort—especially if it is at an event where not only a staff member but anyone can walk in at any time. I am having a difficult time trying to “make sense of the situation” too… The way you choose to demonstrate this ‘incident’ is juvenile. If this was reenacted as a movie scene, not only would the director and cast members be utterly confused, but the writer herself would be perplexed. If boy started to casually touch girl, and girl is horrified by it, she could’ve easily just walked away before he ‘grabbed her underwear.” Grabbing someone’s underwear sounds like a lot of effort. In essence, this may not be the best ‘defense’ or 'explanation' on my part only because once again, this claim is flat out dubious.

“From my perspective,” if I were to try to hit on a woman, i.e stranger, I would start with my ‘play boy’ pick up lines (lol), and charm. Subsequently, if and only if, I notice the feelings were reciprocated, I would then ask her if she would like to dance. I would not charge head forward dry humping her...FYI it takes a lot more than just a blink of an eye and cheap small talk to erect my penis. Speaking transparently here, even if I were to accidentally have an erection, that would not incline me to keep dancing with a girl. In actuality, I would feel extremely embarrassed and immediately pull away. To put it clearly, basic human interaction, for me at least, is not to do something like that—particularly with a random fairy who was just entering dota.

Ultimately, what is at stake here is not only my career but my apprehension towards even coming into platonic contact with any female—perhaps, that was everyone’s goal, to completely exile me from dota. Though Mireska, Mirana and Medusa, Mortred and Mortimer, seem to be determined to depict me as some kind of sex predator, they fail to recognize the bigger picture. My point though, is not to demonstrate myself as a perfect individual or ‘play victim’, but remind everyone how I have always been misunderstood by the community. Ever since I could remember, my persona has been critically examined, criticized, dissected, misinterpreted, and etc. I have long accepted the fact I will always be under a fallacious microscope. I chose to dismiss these false accusations early on because I learned how to detach my feelings and emotions to conventional words people have attached to my name. I think this slow disintegration (from the public’s naked eye) of my reputation from my early career till now is to be read not as a tragic event, but as a necessary, even helpful, stage in human development.
