"I'm sorry you had to go through this" - Dream's message to Shelby following the recent accusations against Wilbur Soot

As one of the foremost creators in the Minecraft community and having collaborated with Wilbur Soot previously, Dream has voiced his stance against the UK-based streamer amidst the unfolding allegations.

In one of his statements addressing the allegations, Wilbur described the physical abuse accusations as something he had initially perceived as "playful" and "consensual." Dream took note of this aspect and referred to Shelby's earlier statement about the use of a safe word, which she claimed Wilbur allegedly ignored:

"She said she withdrew consent using a safe word, and that you frequently would intentionally bite down harder afterwards to the point that she would scream. Even isolated from everything else, that is clearly abuse."

Dream also expressed sympathy towards the purported victim in the situation, conveying his regret that Shelby had to endure these circumstances. He wrote:

"She had reason to be afraid to say your name, but you shouldn't have been afraid to say hers. Shelby, I'm sorry you had to go through this. I'm sorry that you felt scared about public support, and I hope this gives you some hope that the world overall is full of good people."
