user u/NotBlarg actually had a way better breakdown of this in the comments: “So I made a better summary as some information provided is not correct. Give it a look as I got the yearly summary coming out on Jan 1st, so there might be something important that I missed and need to add for that. Also here is a better timestamp.
Matt has not been communicating with Ding Dong and Julian, except for a few rare occasions to make it publicly seem like they are still friends.
Julian says that Matt hasn't talked to him since he was living in LA (2018).
Matt showed Ding Dong and Julian the early Dream Daddy build.
Ding Dong says the Dream Daddy thing is in the past, and that Matt apologized behind the scenes but not publicly.
A lot of people at the Game Grumps office talked about Dream Daddy to Ding Dong and Julian including one who has a "80 paragraph email" they planned to send.
Ding Dong goes on to talk about how people were coming to them as people were scared to talk about it and everyone was getting hurt by it.
Ding Dong received messages on his phone about what he should talk about, which is why some things may have sounded out of character when he spoke about Dream Daddy on stream.
Ding Dong wishes he could still be friends with Matt
"They blew us off for a solid year after that."
Matt acknowledged that he was doing that so he wouldn't get in trouble himself.
"The reason people were trying to keep us happy there was so that we wouldn't say anything."
Ding Dong says that his LA trip where Matt blew him off was the final straw showing that he cares more about his public appearance than being there as friends.
A couple of people wanted to stage a fake fight so when a real fight happened no one could tell the difference.
Matt hasn't done anything heinous since but Ding Dong is disappointed he is still trying to to put on a show that they are still friends publicly.
Literally everyone who told Ding Dong to speak up about Dream Daddy threw him under the bus.
Literally everyone.
Julian confirms this stating even the one who made the big email didn't end up sending it.
Ding Dong is blacklisted in a few places because of the incident.
Julian has an audio recording on his phone of Ding Dong speaking about everything that happened. It will be released when Ding Dong dies.
When Ding Dong attempted suicide and brought it up 10 hours later, a response he got was, wouldn't it be funny if someone did leave a note and blamed Arin and Suzy. Ding Dong did not perceive this person as joking.
Ding Dong says don't get mad at Matt, he is just disappointed in him.
Ding Dong is not mad at Ryan as he was direct with him the whole time and told him that he thinks people would overact if Ding Dong said something and that he is very happy not working a shitty job right now and hoped they would consider if this was even worth it.
Julian was getting upset as everyone in the office was saying how miserable they are working on the game.
It was thanks to Julian that Ding Dong remained sane as people constantly tried gaslighting him and denying things hours after they happened.”
