2024 Kelpy G allegations[edit | edit source]
On March 27, 2024 Cookie posted a link to a Google Doc in #announcements as a response to claims made by Kelpy G. The specific allegations which initially inspired the document's creation are not provided. There are sections near the bottom of the document that exist to respond to a counter-document claimed to have been made by Kelpy G. The counter-document is not provided.[1]
The document begins by stating that in 2020 members Techstar[a], 17, and Judge_Red[b], early 20s, were in a romantic relationship. It goes on to explain that both members lived in New York City with it being claimed that the relationship was legal within it's jurisdiction. Then, in 2022, Judge_Red applies to be a Discord moderator which the appropriate authorities accept. The document then states that following Judge_Red's acceptance Kelpy G requested an investigation into Judge_Red for having groomed them, allegedly at the time also 17, while Judge_Red was still in a relationship with Techstar. The document states that the resultant investigation determined the report was inconclusive, with the desired remedy of Judge_Red's termination being rejected on that basis. Cookie states to not have fully agreed with this outcome, but went on to say that their romantic partner Oriimo had full control and access to all their accounts alongside functionally heading the investigation, which Cookie characterizes as them having been incapable of doing anything aside from what they wanted. The document then states that at some point after the investigation Judge_Red was removed from staff for a presumably unrelated matter, but they retained access to a management-only Discord to act as a "Knowledge Archive". This was stated to have been done so Cookie could ask for advisement on matters from 2018-2019, as their memory of such events was self-disclosed to be "very cloudy", and so Cookie could obtain old community documents which may still have unknowingly been in Judge_Red's possession.[1]
Kelpy G is alleged to not have known about Judge_Red's access to the management-only Discord until 2023, which upset them, with Kelpy G then sending what the document characterizes as hard-proof of the grooming behavior when the evidence sent as part of the 2022 investigation was found insufficient. According to the document by Cookie, because the new evidence was submitted after Cookie had successfully cut ties with Oriimo, the new result was that Judge_Red would be removed from the community.[1]
The document goes on to state that in retaliation Judge_Red threatened to file a defamation suit against Cookie. Cookie states to have found this worrisome, and so began to search for a middle ground, as they were unwilling to take the risk that the threat was real. This worry was stated to have been compounded by the fact that Judge_Red was alleged to be a practicing attorney in New York City and had significantly more wealth than Cookie. This is written to have been resolved quickly, however, as Judge_Red willingly agreed to dissociate from Kurva Gaming.[1]
