Obvious trigger warning here - I'll be talking about Clones, and all that stuff. I'll try not to get into too much detail as I'm not trying to get into any "lore" or gossip.
In any case... since the end of Clones, I've spent many years in isolation from most people I used to know. During that time I've had a lot of time to reflect on my past. Across all Clones, there were thousands of people who I interacted with at one point or another. Whether I knew it or not, at the time I did have an impact on people and the things I did affected people.
Unfortunately, there are plenty of instances in which actions of mine did, intentionally or not, hurt people. For those who were hurt by any of my actions, I would like to use this page to offer my sincerest apologies.
I recognize much of my shortcomings as a human at the time. In too many instances, I was either the instigator of toxic or otherwise bad behavior. I said a lot of dumb and reckless things, without thinking about how it would affect those around me. I also unfortunately had become quite egotistical and in many instances had acted selfishly. I definitely lost some friends in the pursuit of satisfying my own ego.
I also was a bystander to plenty of far, far worse behavior. Hateful and downright disgusting rhetoric was used by plenty of people who should have never been allowed to run wild the way they did. In this, I failed at my goal of creating a welcoming environment for all. I was too scared to put my foot down, and by the time I finally got some sense, the damage was already done.
There are those who remember fondly of me. There are also those who do not remember me kindly. My apology goes out to both of these groups and it goes out to everyone involved in Miiverse Clones. Things were obviously not perfect, and I wish to recognize my own party in that. I cannot right the wrongs I have done in the past - all I can do is instead use the past as a guide to help make a more fair and more just world.
If you wish to contact me for a more personal apology, or if discussing what happened with me may help you out, do not hesitate to contact me. I would want nothing more than to help people out.
