Background: ShadyVox is an abridger, musician, and voice actor most known for his Yugioh GX Abridged series, lead of furry music band Scratch21, VA roles as abridged Jaden Yuki and Button Mash from MLP fan projects, and lead voice work on Mashed and Piemations projects. During his time in the abridged series’ community, Shady made acquaintances with Martin Billany aka LittleKuriboh (LK), the creator of Yugioh The Abridged Series, and the two of them collaborated from time to time.
In recent years, though, ShadyVox and LittleKuriboh had a falling out due to Shady liking far-right tweets and accounts. Since then, Shady harassed LK in several ways, including sending threatening emails to LK, manipulating him into dropping his best friend with false allegations, and making thinly-veiled but vague references to their conflict in his songs. Eventually, the police got involved to get Shady to stop, but his threat of plotting something big still loomed for years, impacting LK’s mental health.
Shady also manipulated victims of predators associated with LittleKuriboh—associated as in LK didn’t know most of them very well and privately distanced himself from them once he found out what they did; this private and personal action is seen as professional in the VA industry. In 2023, one of those victims was persuaded to call out LK and other abridgers for perceived complicity in her and others’ abuse, using Shady’s song lyrics as part of her “proof.” LK responded to debunk the accusations soon after, which eventually led him to come public about what ShadyVox has been doing to him, the details of which are in the video linked above.
Since LittleKuriboh’s exposé on Shady’s activities, he’s been dropped from nearly all major projects he was part of (including Piemations, Mashed, and JanAnimations), as confirmed by both former collaborators and LK himself. The manipulated victim retracted her accusations and issued apologies to those she included and targeted. Shady, on the other hand, has gone radio silent, not posting anything online for years.
This situation has not seen new development since then, outside of former collaborators cutting ties from ShadyVox, but the video linked is relatively recent. I’m posting this here to help spread awareness and give context to Shady’s actions and why people have stopped working with him.
The video cites several primary sources written by LittleKuriboh, which can be found below:
Contemporary Reddit discussions can be found on r/TeamFourStar and on r/mylittlepony. Additional details can be found on LK’s Twitter and Bluesky, though I don’t have specific thread links firsthand.
