There's a New Worst Apology Video on YouTube

N3ON, quite possibly the most controversial streamer of the last year or so. Today, we look at his recent controversy that led to his awful apology video. Buckle up.

Youtuber apology checklist:
Refuses to address the actual problem, never mentions the context ✅
Refuses to take any accountability and shifts all the blame ✅
Is apologizing to himself and his platform, rather than the people he actually hurt ✅
Immediately embarrasses himself after the "apology" ✅
Unfortunately, there was no ukelele

[Slow_King]

We’ve went from “I’ve made a severe and continuous lapse in my judgment”, “Toxic Gossip Train”.
And now this

[AlBundyOz]

I'll fix it:
"I'm not going to get _caught_ doing this type of thing again and I'm going to try and be a -better- man."

Just the fact that he was arguing with a child speaks volumes about his character. There must be something the cops can charge him with. Threatening sexual violence against a kid must be illegal. He is vile.

“That’s your forehead buddy” Was WAY funnier than it needed to be 😭😭😭🙏

[stellart]

While this is a bad apology, I this think Colleens was worse

[breadpilled]

His girlfriends need to get out NOW. The kind of person who would threaten a kid with rape is absolutely capable of doing horrible shit to any partner.

Every time I think the bar hits rock bottom someone says hold my beer and digs the trench deeper.

[brose-bgks]

I was half expecting him to pull a harmonica out of his rear and start singing “I’m not an abuser, I’m just a loser.”

Instruments to consider if you would like to upstage the ukulele apology:

Drum Set (do you own drum roll/boom-boom-tss while apologizing)

Bagpipes (Open with a rousing rendition of Amazing Grace to really highlight how you see you're at fault and would like to seek redemption)

Bongos (to give your apology a slam poetry vibe)

Accordion (Probably the only instrument more absurd to put in a serious video than a ukulele)

And of course...

Kazoo (If you want to put up even more of a middle finger than the ukulele did)

[FancyTM]

Now everyone is fighting for the worst apology

[sirshauniv]

Apologising alone doesn't do anything. You have to mean it.

[dreamercraftyt]

To give a quick rundown of the discord call, the kid calle neons girlfriend fat, neon says he's going to dox his entire family, they get into a shouting match, and neon says he's going to assault the kid.

"An eye opener in my eyes" My guy's a wordsmith.

[Cereal_Kier]

That is not okay. At all. These streamers really need to watch what they say and do, not just on stream, but also in general. In fact, that should go for anyone. These "apology" videos annoy me so much, because its clear that they don't mean it; they apologize because they were caught and faced backlash, rather than because they genuinely regret and feel remorse for their actions. They're just making excuses to try to justify their actions and gain favor from the public eye. Like August said in the video at 8:05, he is not even addressing what he is apologizing for. Instead, he just uses the generic youtuber apology that has little genuineness behind it. I understand that sometimes people make mistakes and say something in the heat of the moment, but sometimes people really need some self-control and need to think before they speak.

N3ON looks like a stereotypical nerd except he isn't smart

[The_Amazing_Birb_Man]

Neons bodyguards can’t protect him from this one 😭🙏

[TheRRD]

That kid will go down in history as the kid that ended Neons career.

A truly amazing feat.

[creepzgaming]

My theory is that neon was both high and reading off a script while he made the apology, that's why he's reading the thing so weirdly and why he can't even focus enough to actually point to his eyes.

Ever since the Yandere Simulator dev apology, 2024 was bound to die quickly honestly.
