MethodJosh.


I will preface this by saying i am writing this on behalf of friends, some of whom do not dare step forward themselves.


My personal involvement with Josh has been very limited. He started going big on Twitch. I played alot of WoW so i found myself in his stream occasionally, but thats about it.

His involvement with my guild and friends however started on Monday, July 9th, 2018. We raided Mondays. A couple guys in raiding here had apparently befriended Josh, and he was invited onto the server to play some games with them. I was personally heading off to bed, and being the only person with admin rights on this server, i left one of my friends with full server power when i went to bed "Just in case" because already at the time people knew Josh could go over the line.

He did make some attempted awkward advances at every woman in the server, but we all laughed and brushed that off, i guess we thought it was just an extension of his on stream persona jokes.

Obviously the fact that i felt i had to have someone else able to ban him while i was asleep if necessary should've been a big enough red flag to just not leave him in the server.

The person i left in control did not have to use the power, he apparently behaved nicely, which only confirmed my belief that he was clearly just joking when he was streaming.


Fast forward 2 weeks, a lot of us are having a real life meet-up, and i get a call at 2am in the morning from one of my friends/players. Josh had apparently managed to find her phone number - not through her - and called her repeatedly on stream infront of 5-10 thousand people, hitting on her, belittling her. She called me crying and having a panic attack.

I acted in what i believe was the right way. I sat down with her, gathered the evidence of him calling her. Him being generally very creepy to her and other women that we knew in DM's. I took all of this and sent it directly to @Methodsco on twitter.

We provided him with 8 screenshots (Attached below). Several twitch clips/vods (Sadly most of these are gone) and a caller ID proving that it was Josh who had been calling her.

To my surprise - at the time - this was ignored for a full day. I followed up again, still ignored. This continued until several of my guildies went onto Sco's stream and directly started inquiring him about why he was ignoring the messages he was getting on twitter, which resulted in him replying with this; https://gyazo.com/e0859ed2f30529f86108b2eb4c6f2361


I assumed this would be the end of it. Josh would get a slap on the wrist and hopefully behave like a normal fucking person, yes my next interaction with Josh got even worse. He noticed me being present on his stream and wanted to talk to me about someone from my guild going to Sco about him. When i told him that was me, he banned me and started diffusing the situation and pretending nothing ever happened.
That lead to this well known LSF clip; https://streamable.com/qqsm8

This was the last interaction I or my friends ever had directly with Josh. The above clip did bring a witch hunt with death threats at both me and every woman in my guild for a short while.

Stop pretending you didn't know. You knew all along, you chose to ignore it.
