I foresee problems arising from this conversation.
Now includes: "IronChad." Follow-up: The Deep Stuff
A few weeks back, my Steam account was suspended due to mass DMCA claims across my workshop creations. I had to spend a full day with Steam support restoring every creation one at a time, as they needed to verify each build for stolen content.
I talked to IronChad about it and told him who I suspected. He backed it up and sent me screenshots of two people using slurs against me, who were apparently friends with the person I suspected. He told me these two, one of them being Aiorynd, had a history of stealing creations and had likely helped file the claims. I was in a bad headspace and took it at face value without doing any research of my own.
Days after I recovered my workshop, the person I suspected started causing problems again. I put together a report that included the screenshots IronChad had sent me and submitted it to the moderator of the server where the harassment was happening.
That's when it fell apart. The conversation in those screenshots had taken place in the moderator's own server and was actually directed at IronChad, because he supposedly stole someone's creation(s). He had used me to go after people he had beef with, and I had no idea.
I kept talking to IronChad without letting on that I knew, since I was still in his server at the time. Then his server got raided. He had moderators, but it was just a title with no actual permissions, and he was nowhere to be found. When I told him to give his mods some permissions, he made me a moderator instead, still with no permissions. The server got raided the next day again, and there was nothing anyone could do. When he finally responded hours later, he brushed it off, saying it wasn't really a raid because there were no dangerous links, despite hundreds of messages in every channel. I told him straight that I never asked to be a moderator, I didn't want to be one, and that handing his problems to other people without asking or giving them the tools to deal with it was a pretty shifty move.
On May 28th, I released a new environment mod on the workshop. Aiorynd, who I only knew from those screenshots at this point, reached out and asked if he could have a vehicle version. I said sure and shared the files, along with my standard terms around reuploading, modifications, and attribution. I also posted on his Steam profile directly so he wouldn't miss it.
IronChad then jumped in on that Steam profile comment with a dismissive remark aimed at me, and then started going after Aiorynd directly on his profile.
This has gotten out of hand. IronChad needs to let it go.
I am posting this, as well as the messages, because IronChad is 100% the kind of person who will try to reframe this.
I will add that I am not picking a side, and I did bad stuff too. I let my anger get the better of me and attacked Aiorynd before even knowing the full story. IronChad is wrong for involving me in his own personal argument, dragging it on for a whole year, and using me to fuel it, and Aiorynd is wrong for the stuff they had said in the image IronChad had sent me.
Nobody is the good guy in this situation, and I am not siding with anyone.

This situation took quite a turn.
I've found some disturbing content that IronChad has posted, and I wanted to share it with you. Since publishing this blog post on May 31st, 2026, I've discovered a ton of content from IronChad that makes him a total hypocrite and a horrible person.
The same guy who attacked Aiorynd for using slurs and went after me just for trying to move past the drama has consistently posted incredibly racist, sexist, homophobic, sexually explicit content, and even doxxed someone, all himself.
I can only put links to a few of the things he's posted; the rest is far too explicit and some even illegal. The images behind the links are cropped, but beyond that there is no editing. I'm putting these out here solely because I want the full truth out, and I'm not going to let him try to justify or reframe this situation even further, or pretend that he has the moral high ground.

As predicted, IronChad absolutely lost his s***. There's way too much to make a simple recap, so you can read the entire thread here instead. There's a link to the original page; keep in mind that IronChad started deleting a bunch of his messages. I managed to take screenshots of most of them.
