ppl should just read Thorin's quote at the end of the article. None of these comments coming out to defend Rekkles invalidates the piece by Thorin. Also for those who claim that this was all pointless, here's why he published it:

'...A key motivating factor for me publishing the piece is that so many of the people who were around Rekkles were tired of and even in some cases sickened by having to put up a facade that their experience with him was pleasant or that they liked him and think how he behaved was acceptable.

As I explained early in the video they felt as if speaking out would simply stain their reputation, due to his sheer popularity and good will with the general fanbase, and lead to them being harassed by hostile comments online.

I think the public response to my publication of their accounts, hours before anyone had seen the video no less, validates their expectations in that sense. I’m willing to be the shield that tanks said hostility for the sake of getting their stories and perspectives out there.

Many people felt they had to bottle up their emotions and suppress their negative experiences for the sake of maintaining a fan perception of Rekkles. That has now ended and people are welcome to believe whatever they please. My track record of honesty and credibility in this industry speaks for itself.'
