The Canadian Tectone is the largest streamer on Twitch for the Asia MMO Wuthering Waves. He is also one of the largest streamers for Zenless Zen Zero and Honkai Star Rail. But now he is embroiled in an ugly drama. His ex-girlfriend has made serious allegations against a man, and Tectone seems to feel addressed. It is believed that the allegations originally came from the VTuber Frame, his ex-wife.
Content warning: The article discusses sexual assault.
These are the allegations: Pinkchyu is a mid-sized V-Tuber on Twitch. On November 21, she published a series of drastic tweets discussing sexual harassment. She remains in the third person, not explicitly writing about herself, but about a person whose name she does not mention. She writes:
How do you deal with a guy who is abusive and who first makes you cry and then pushes your head into his lap and demands that you give him oral pleasure? And his excuse is: “It turns me on when you cry.”
She goes on to say that the person was made to feel guilty for having to be sexually active, as that was their job – after all, they do not pay rent.
Pinkchyu talks about how the person was systematically demeaned. They felt ugly. They were told to change their clothing, their hairstyle, and were encouraged to put on makeup at home. This drives the self-esteem into the ground.
Allegations from Pinkchyu are general in nature
Is she making specific accusations against someone? No, Pinkchyu remains general. She asks: What do you do when a guy demands this behavior from someone?
Pinkchyu mentions that several women have told these stories about a man and that multiple witnesses have reported how the person had belittled others in public.
Even if she does not mention a name, many X users know that Pinkchyu was involved with the prominent streamer Tectone. Therefore, they think Tectone could be the perpetrator whose abusive behavior she describes.
Tectone believes: A person was manipulated – He did everything for the person
This is what Tectone says: Tectone commented on the allegations in a stream on November 21. He warns beforehand: Anyone who is confused about what exactly this is about will remain confused even after his statement.
Tectone does not directly address Pinkchyu, but says he knows the person who needs to hear this now. He states, however, that he was forced to sign a non-disclosure agreement – by the person who is now “manipulating from the outside.”
He means it sincerely: He has done everything for this person, helped her with everything, and made everything right.
Now the person would listen to “other people” who are manipulating her and who would make her believe all sorts of nonsense.
The person is imagining problems that never existed.
And it’s crazy how those things that happened in your own head – you’re now coming after me, and that’s just not nice.
Fans believe: The allegations actually come from the streamer’s ex-wife
How is this being discussed? Even though Pinkchyu and Tectone do not openly talk about each other, the situation on reddit is clearly escalating. It is clear that Tectone is being accused of sexual assault by his ex-girlfriend.
Apparently, some fans know more. One user on reddit says: It is apparently about Tectone’s ex-wife, the VTuber Fream (via reddit). She is now dating Tectone’s former manager.
We reported on MeinMMO in December 2022 about the situation: Twitch streamer has to give up his wife and best friend – “Bad things follow me like the plague”
Back then, a good friend of Tectone, Rich Campbell, was also accused of sexual harassment.
The topic is currently being heavily discussed on Twitch, particularly because Tectone is with OTK, the group of the controversial streamer Asmongold. The streamer Kaceytron, who is in conflict with Asmongold, has already called Tectone a rapist. Currently, the situation on Twitch is extremely tense, with divisions between different camps and groups hardening: Conflict over moderation on Twitch escalates, leading to a permanent ban for a critic
Tectone takes consequences, leaves OTK
Update 25.11.: On Saturday, November 23, Tectone announced that he is withdrawing from the streaming organization OTK (via sportskeeda). He had been there for 3 years.
In a statement, he explained: Other people had been criticized for him doing “stupid stuff.” He does not want that. He only wants to worry about himself, not about others suffering because of his actions. Ultimately, he has always been a troll and a rage-baiter – that’s just how he is.
He does not address the specific allegations, but it is generally assumed that by resigning from OTK he is taking consequences from the accusations.
In 2022, when Tectone separated from his wife, he still said how important OTK was to him in this difficult time: Twitch streamer has to give up his wife and best friend – “Bad things follow me like the plague”
