Fedmyster breaks silence after 12-month hiatus: \u201cI got to a point where I couldn\u2019t take it\u201d Twitch: FedmysterFormer OfflineTV star Federico \u2018Fedmyster\u2019 Gaytan has returned to Twitch after a full year away from the internet, explaining how online toxicity grew overwhelming in light of sexual assault allegations leveled against him. Fedmyster was a key member of OfflineTV during the group\u2019s rise to prominence. That all changed in 2020 as the former content creator was cast out of the crew amid accusations of sexual misconduct. Multiple streamers shared their stories in dealing with Fedmyster, though it was Pokimane\u2019s lengthy document that led to an \u201cadmission of guilt\u201d from the controversial personality. Outside of a single return stream one year removed from his fall from grace, along with a hacking incident just a few months ago, Fedmyster had remained offline since allegations surfaced. Now breaking his silence once again, he returned to the spotlight on July 5 to explain how toxicity across social media forced him away. \u201cI just wanted to live life as a normal human for a bit,\u201d Fedmyster told those tuned into his surprise comeback stream. Following his lowest moments, the enormous followings of OfflineTV, Pokimane, Yvonnie, and LilyPichu weren\u2019t eager to let him forget. For some, the influx of hate directed towards him even went \u201cover the line,\u201d as fellow streamer Asmongold argued. It was said toxicity that drove him offline for an extended stretch. \u201cIt got to a point where I couldn\u2019t take it anymore,\u201d he said during his return. \u201cAm I supposed to just stream and not read chat?\u201d \u201cI just didn\u2019t use the internet for a whole year,\u201d he continued. \u201cThere\u2019s a whole a** world out there that\u2019s not just sitting in front of a computer watching Mizkif talk to girls all day.\u201d When pressed on the obvious topic of his past drama, Fedmyster stressed that he\u2019s \u201cnever, ever going to talk about [it]\u201d again. \u201cThat sh*t is done with, I\u2019m over it, I\u2019m sure everyone else is over it. No one cares. \u201cI haven\u2019t made up with anyone. But I wish them the best because we all were family at one point. Although we don\u2019t talk anymore, I don\u2019t forget that.\u201d Plans for his future online remain unclear, as Fedmyster admitted he might not \u201cstream again anytime soon.\u201d In the meantime, he\u2019s working on \u201csome music projects\u201d on the side to keep afloat. Signing off with a final remark, he once again owned up to \u201cpast mistakes\u201d but argued his actions \u201cnever\u201d had \u201cmalicious\u201d intent behind them. \u201cI\u2019m trying to be the best human being I can, that\u2019s all I can say.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
