Method didn't take serious action against MethodJosh after he was banned from Twitch, or when the community began circulating clips and screenshots of MethodJosh making misogynistic, racist, and other worrying comments (typically toward women), or even when MethodJosh admitted to Method's senior management that he was the subject of a police investigation later in 2019.
"We should have simultaneously conducted a more thorough investigation of our own." "We believed such a substantial allegation had to be investigated by the police and that we were not equipped to deal with such a claim," McMillan wrote.
Of these incidents, three sources told Kotaku that MethodJosh frequently described girls aged 15 to 16 as "the perfect age."Īs detailed in Method CEO Scott McMillan's statement on Twitter, Method management was made aware in January 2019 that MethodJosh was accused of soliciting sexual photos from a minor and sending his own. Though Twitch never explained the reason for the ban, it was widely rumored to be the result of an investigative report by Kotaku that detailed MethodJosh's unsettling interactions with female fans on a Discord server. The streamer, who is supposedly in his mid-twenties, had 174,000 followers on Twitch when he was mysteriously banned from the platform permanently on June 29, 2019. MethodJosh has been embroiled in controversy for years. Method's own story stretches back years as the organization defended one member of its core raiding group, MethodJosh (also known as JoshPriest), who has been accused of rape and sexually abusing underage girls. The allegations came last week as hundreds of others shared stories of sexual harassment and abuse by members of the games industry.
