Why He Exploded Into a Termination
Note: Most of this information came from here

Note 2: This article's main purpose is to show other people across the internet as to why Explode1 was terminated, and this article is not meant to be a hate page towards him.


 * 1) He was a pedophile. On February 8th of 2018, he was called out by his ex-boyfriend, Kai, for having sexual interactions with minors.
 * 2) He was insanely toxic towards his co-workers and friends, causing loads of rifts throughout his development crew, and when he broke up with Kai, he told Kai that he was worthless in not only in a relationship, but in life in general, which gave Kai a ton of anxiety when he read the breakup message for the first few times.
 * 3) He was a narcissist, as he didn't care for others, and that he thought that both himself and his popularity was more important than his own partner, Kai.
 * 4) He was a hypocrite, as he broke his own contract to show Kai his work, despite that being against his own contract.
 * 5) He was quite manipulative, as he forced Kai in a poly relationship with two other people named Supas and Leo.
 * 6) He was ableist, as one of his quotes stated earlier shows him downplaying disabled people by making a joke about them. He was also disrespectful towards Kai for his autistic traits as well.
 * 7) He ignored Kai's feelings of premature death due to his chronic condition, while Kai was 10 years into the condition and started to get worried. Despite all of this, he proceeded to downplay Kai's situation and got someone else to research it on his behalf. This gives off more proof that he doesn't care for others.
 * 8) He was a stalker, since that he ordered Supas and Leo to stalk Kai while Kai was depressed, and Supas and Leo eventually told him that Kai was depressed.
 * 9) He's a liar and he false advertised. He claimed that he had gotten a therapist to improve from his flaws, but this was later deemed as false, since he kept on making weird things, and on one of thumbnails of Adventure Forward 2: Points of Conflict, it claims that the game has "Countless Secrets", yet the only actual secrets in the game are mostly just Red Coins and memes that are hidden in the Bonus Levels, and some of the memes are just dead memes too. The secret ending even states that there are 296 Red Coins. The same thing applies to Paper Roblox 2: Beyond the Fold, where on one of the thumbnails for the game, the game claims to have "Countless Secrets", yet the only secrets in the game are just hidden badges and Cards.
 * 10) When he was exposed for being a pedophile, he denounced Adventure Forward 3: Vain Revival as official, let his anger out on his developers, and stole the developers' assets for Adventure Forward 3: Vain Revival.
 * 11) A majority of his games have either broke or are now completely unplayable ever since his termination.
 * 12) * Paper Roblox Original requires at least two players to finish one of the chapters.
 * 13) * Almost every badge in Paper Roblox 2: Beyond the Fold broke, along with the saving system.
 * 14) * Super Paper Roblox has a menu in the original game that's glitched, and requires the player to use a certain method to get past the title screen to actually play the game itself, and even if this method is used, some of the dialogue is broken along with one platform in chapter 8, which prevents the player from making any more progress.
 * 15) * mh:perfectionrobloxgames:Adventure Forward 1: Star Savior can't even be played, since the original place is permanently closed down now.
 * 16) * Adventure Forward 2: Points of Conflict's original boss fights can't even be fought, and some of the platforms have lost collision as well, which will cause most players to get as far as worlds 2 and 3 with 18 Stars and 1 Symbol.

"Redeeming" Qualities
Note: These redeeming qualities do not excuse most of his actions that he had performed.
 * 1) Some of his games were pretty decent, such as mh:perfectionrobloxgames:Adventure Forward 2: Points of Conflict.
 * 2) He didn't run away from his problems. When he was exposed, he admitted that all of what Kai said was true.

Trivia

 * Explode1 was aware that he was going to get exposed at some point during his career.
 * Explode1 was terminated on November 30th of 2018 due to his criminal actions that he had performed.
