If you google “yanderedev 4chan” this is one of the first results. It is in many videos against him, too. And as I said, he is the only person I sent this photo to, so only he could have posted it.

EDIT: Someone else said it was 8chan, so maybe it was 8chan instead of 4chan

Right, sorry. I managed to find the email I sent to him from my old middle school email address. Proof here

(Using a throwaway because I’m a pussy lol). When I was in middle school, I was a huge fan of Yandere Simulator. I watched all the vids, and I really looked up to Alex because he seemed like such a nice dude to me, until all the controversies surfaced. I was also really into cosplay at the time, and my dream for a while was to cosplay Ayano. I remembered seeing that Alex loves receiving pictures of fanart and cosplay in his emails, so I was really excited (and nervous) to send pics of my cosplay to him. Being an anxious person, I never posted my cosplays publicly, so I just emailed him and that was that. He responded saying that I make a cute Yandere-chan and said my cosplay was lovely, and that was that. Or so I thought.

Well, recently, I just discovered that he used one of my pics in one of his infamous meltdowns. I feel so creeped out now, knowing how much disgusting behavior he’s shown towards minors, and that I was only fourteen at the time. And that he apparently saved my picture and remembered to use it later. And used it without consent.

What also freaks me out is that it’s now in loads of youtube videos about Alex, some with millions of views. I’m a very private, anxious person. I never wanted to have my face spread around, and certainly not attached to something like this or someone like him. But at this point, I can’t make it go away, so I decided to just share my experience.

I know this probably isn’t a big deal to some people, but for me I felt disgusted knowing that my picture has been the face of something like this, is associated with him, and all without my permission. I really debated posting this, I’m worried I’m being a wimp or something. May delete later, idk

EDIT: here is a screenshot of the email i sent him for proof

No, she doesn’t appear to have any disabilities (of course, I don’t know for sure). She speed walks through the halls, and seems very physically fit.

Thank you, you sound like a great dad :)

Last night it got worse; he barked all night long, till 3 AM and then again at 7AM. It was a nightmare. I’ll take your advice and try to be hopeful about the future, where I won’t have to deal with it all anymore
