Pop Culture & Art November 25, 2024

Minecraft YouTuber Viktor "Iskall85" has resigned from the popular Hermitcraft server following multiple allegations of inappropriate behavior.

Announced on November 24, the resignation came after the server cited "multiple complaints" from community members.


The controversy escalated when former moderator @Kasszi_ shared a nine-page document on X, formerly Twitter, detailing allegations against the 38-year-old Swedish creator.

In the document, @Kasszi_ claimed their interactions with Iskall85 became personal in August 2023 and escalated to inappropriate behavior by August 2024. They alleged that conversations on Skype took a sexual turn, with Iskall85 making explicit remarks. "Immediately after going to Skype, is when he brought up danger zones again and started being sexual," they stated. While emphasizing that no minors were involved, @Kasszi_ described a pattern of manipulation, including persistent flirtation and withdrawal when his advances were ignored.

The document also referenced two unnamed individuals, "A" and "B," who were reportedly involved in similar situations. "B" allegedly had a romantic relationship with Iskall85 for three years, during which they claimed he manipulated them and pursued others simultaneously. According to @Kasszi_, Iskall85 attempted to apologize, citing account hacks as an excuse for his behavior.


Further allegations emerged from former Vaulthunter SMP member Mefallit, who shared her account in a Discord statement later circulated on X. She accused Iskall85 of taking advantage of her trust, stating, "What's most troubling is not only the manipulation itself but also the fact that it occurred while he was in a long-term relationship." She detailed how casual conversations turned into sexting and the exchange of personal photos, adding that she had been transparent about her vulnerabilities as a single mother.


Hermitcraft’s decision to sever ties with Iskall85 underscores the gravity of the allegations. The YouTuber has not issued a public response, but the revelations have ignited discussions within the Minecraft community about accountability and the responsibilities of online creators.
