Chinese Cubing has a major problem... (Cuberoot controversy)

[notjamestack]

Im with gruuby, there are bad people who don’t deserve positive recognition, and we can’t treat everyone with respect if they have done bad things

Exactly.

Honestly, hell no. This isn't something to ignore and focus on the positives. His video quality shouldn't be in the conversation when we are talking about literal crimes against children.

Literally this.

TBH we shouldn’t give a bad person like this attention. I agree Cuberoot is creepy, but we shouldn’t just be giving him attention, positive or negative.

Just because you think you shouldn't give someone attention does not excuse this being unnoticed for a long time. I am not letting cuberoot hide this again.

Exactly.

Literally this.

Yep

 

[That_slow_guy]

That’s not even true, I’m pretty sure someone linked the doc on one of my profile posts MONTHS ago, and then people were talking like it was old news. Not sayin my it makes the information any better, but it’s more like a well known secret than something that we’ve just learned about. We’d boycott him if it wasn’t for the fact that he’s the only content we can really get from Yiheng and other top Chinese solves like Xuanyi

this being unnoticed for a long time.

Yes I agree with you now, complete boycott and punishment should be the solution.

We got good reconstructions of Yiheng from him, he coaches Yiheng and all, pretty cool, right? He's a pedophile, and that's not cool. We should have boycotted him the day this happened. (But he's like the only one who does reconstructions of Yiheng...)

 

[bluecubing]

I knew this was gonna happen some day

 

[Caleb Valenzuela]

why did the thought of bad people receiving positive attention ever occur in the first place??? He’s a pedophile, he does bad things, why would anyone like this receive positive attention?

 

[bluecubing]

I didn’t even support him

 

[Caleb Valenzuela]

I didn’t even support him

I learned about this months ago, but he is the only one who provides decent videos of yiheng (i hate to say it) almost all other videos of yiheng look like it was shot on a potato

If you have been cubing for a while, you may know this person by the name of Ruimin Yan. He runs a channel called Cuberoot, and coaches Yiheng Wang, and other chinese cubers. However, he has lately been found to be a creep online. For example, he talked to a 12 year old girl online when he was 25. His activity then was... questionable to put it VERY lightly. There is more information on a Youtube Video and Google Doc which go more in depth on the situation.

DON'T close it, just let it fall to the bottom naturally. Closing threads is the stupidest thing ever, and shouldn't be done for simple bumps.

 

[abunickabhi]

Yeah this thread should not be closed.

On the other hand, please do not spread conspiracy on this topic. Please back your statements by solid proofs.
