every minecrafter ever (not really)

I am aware of the document currently being shared and the serious allegations it contains. It is a difficult situation involving personal things between people, and I understand why people are concerned. Due to the sensitive nature of this, I ask that it be approached with care. I want to address this personally. I also want to say that i never intended for my personal situation to impact the game or my team working on it. I know many developers and contributors care deeply about this project, and I regret that this situation is affecting them. Ren and I had a personal relationship, and we met up at RDC. From my perspective and records, those interactions were mutual and consensual at that time. We continued communicating even after the conference, and there was no indication that boundaries had been crossed in the way the document states. This is reflected in our conversations before, during, and after the events. With recognition that people can experience situations differently, I want to emphasize that I do not want to dismiss how someone else may feel. There are important parts of this situation that are not fully represented publicly. After these events, private and sensitive information about our interactions was shared with multiple people without my consent, despite me expressing discomfort with that. This created a significant breach of trust and contributed heavily to the breakdown of communication between us. Following RDC, the situation became more complicated as more people became involved and private matters were shared beyond what I was comfortable with. This led to a breakdown in trust and communication, and I made the decision to step back and create distance. I also want to acknowledge that I did not handle every part of this situation perfectly. There were moments where I could have communicated better and acted more carefully, and I take responsibility for that. Because of the seriousness of the claims being made, I am taking the time to review everything thoroughly so that my further responses are responsible and respectful. In the meantime, I ask the community for a few things, please do not harass or target anyone, do not spread unverified claims as confirmed facts, and please allow space for a proper and complete response. I understand emotions are high, but reacting without full context can cause further harm to everyone involved. I'll have a more detailed response to share soon.
