Alexey’s X Blocking Wave
It was revealed that Alexey’s X account (@dafuqboom_legit), widely considered the only social media account he has full personal control over, appeared to have blocked at least five users. The pattern was notable: those blocked had either spoken positively about Invisible Narratives, or negatively about a creator he spoke to often, Ibio75.
Among those blocked was Ru1, a fan artist who Alexey had previously liked art from on Twitter. A day or two later, Alexey unblocked him.
Skibidi Toilet community member CruzCrafter also came forward to confirm he had been blocked by Alexey several weeks earlier, around the time he and another member Mnoomer had spoken with an Inviz employee and publicly expressed optimism about Inviz’s side of the story. Both had dropped their support of the #BringBoomBack movement at that time. Mnoomer was blocked around the same period but was later unblocked. CruzCrafter was later unblocked.
In a thread, CruzCrafter shared his confusion and concern. He acknowledged the timing, the block came right after his positive remarks following the Inviz call, and noted that this “screams to everyone that Boom is mad at Inviz.” He questioned why Boom would block Ru1 and BitByte10 as well, and ultimately wrote that whatever the reason, he remained on Boom’s side.
DavidLB
Ibio75 also came forward on December 20 to describe an attempt by David LB, an Invisible Narratives partner, to contact him on WhatsApp and persuade him not to leak the contract. Ibio published a statement noting that the outreach, David only calling and messaging him after he announced plans to leak struck him as a clear signal that something in the contract was worth concealing.
Inviz Publishes Their First Direct Statement
On December 20, Invisible Narratives posted their first public response almost two months after Emergence’s release. It was published through the @SkibidiOfficial Twitter account.
The Statement
Invisible Narratives opens by framing themselves as a passive, support studio, one that “exists to support creators and stay out of the spotlight“. They describe the original 2023 IP transfer as something Alexey initiated in order to pursue games, toys, film, and television.
What the statement doesn’t address is that by mid to late 2025, that transfer had become permanent and unconditional. And the claim that Inviz stayed out of creative decisions was rejected, particularly due to testimony of Alexey’s close friend Evan Purr, who described direct interference in episode 79’s production, and the leaked Creator Alliance call, in which CEO Adam Goodman discussed giving audiences what they “need” rather than what they “want”, not exactly the language of a studio that keeps its hands off.
“Claims circulating that Alexey was silenced, forced out, or not paid are simply untrue. Alexey is free to speak, post, animate, and talk with fans anytime he chooses. When Alexey chooses not to engage, that silence is his own.“
This became one of the statement’s most disputed claims. Evan Purr recounted that when he managed to reach Alexey by phone and Skibidi Toilet came up, Alexey’s response was simply “I’m unable to comment on it“, entirely out of character for someone who had always been outspoken.
“Any claim that Invisible Narratives ‘stole’ Skibidi, withheld money, or cut Alexey out financially is completely false. Since entering into our partnership, Alexey has earned more from Skibidi Toilet than most people see in a lifetime“
This appeared to conflict with Ibio’s publicly leaked DMs from Alexey, in which Alexey described himself as “almost broke,” stated he had given away YouTube monetization in 2024, and said he was “not being paid out anything.”
Separately, an anonymous former Inviz employee, interviewed by Iron Cameraman, alleged that Inviz had underreported merchandise earnings to Alexey, and that Alexey was unable to earn from brand partnerships due to his Russian nationality, and that Adam Goodman had promised to help Alexey migrate, but never followed through.
“After years of nonstop work, Alexey made the decision that a change was necessary for him. He approached us about shifting his role away from day-to-day animation. […] That transition was deliberate, mutual, and carefully considered.“
Adam Goodman directly contradicted this in the leaked “Creator Alliance” call, stating that he had talked Alexey into working with an animation team, not the other way around. Evan Purr also described Alexey being told he needed to work faster or “someone else will be cooking for everyone“, which he interpreted as direct pressure from Inviz on his production pace. The claim that the transition was originally Alexey’s own idea was difficult for many fans to square with either account.
“In October, we released Emergence, the first episode created with a new animation team, under Alexey’s supervision as executive producer“
Evan Purr had stated plainly that what was released bore no resemblance to what Alexey had described wanting for episode 80 and beyond. And Adam Goodman, when asked in the “Creator Alliance” call whether Alexey was genuinely involved, offered to set up a meeting with the animation team to prove it, a meeting that never happened.
“Criticism of creative work is part of entertainment, and we respect every creator’s right to an opinion.“
Skibidi Toilet fan creator Iron Cameraman had his Creator Alliance contract terminated after voicing criticism of Emergence. Multiple other creators were quietly removed from the Creator Alliance Discord server for sharing opinions about what Inviz was doing, none of which had ever leaked anything.
“Early in the fall, we invited a Skibidi community creator into our office […] we shared a short piece of early, unfinished promotional material solely to gather feedback […] Claiming to have ‘seen an entire movie,’ and attempting to reconstruct it from memory, was not a misunderstanding. It was a fundamental misrepresentation of unfinished material shared in confidence.“
This section responds to reports from a community creator who described seeing early Skibidi movie footage during a visit to Inviz, referring to Iron Cameraman’s video describing the footage. Inviz characterizes the subsequent public discussion of that footage as a serious breach of confidence – so much so, that after Iron’s video released, they had sent him a legal notice.
In this statement, Inviz distances the footage from any kind of film, instead calling it “unfinished promotional material”. However, this framing was later complicated when CEO Adam Goodman himself described that the clip was, as Iron had implied, “footage from a film test that’s still in production“.
Inviz also provide yet another contradiction in this statement, “They were not brought in as a spokesperson or insider“, however the prior Cease And Desist makes explicit mention to Iron being a valued “insider“, as justification for the complaint.
Notably, the other rules referenced amount to “Discord rules”, “Digital resource kit”, and “Style guide”. None of which relate to the subject at hand.
Community Response
The statement was met with what amounted to overwhelming rejection. Almost every reply expressed disbelief, sarcasm, or outright denial.
Internet culture journalist Steven Asarch, who had been working on a story about Skibidi Toilet and Invisible Narratives for the past month, described the statement as “fascinating“, adding that those reading it had no idea what it really contained.
Inviz Social Suspension
A few hours after the statement was posted, the official @SkibidiOfficial Twitter account was suspended. No reason was given, though fans speculated it may have been mass reported for misinformation.
The suspension made it to the top of Twitter trending news for a full day, initially headlined as “Skibidi Toilet Official Account Posts Defense Then Disappears.” The headline was later updated to “Invisible Narratives Addresses Skibidi Toilet Fan Concerns Before Account Suspension.”
When the account disappeared shortly after, Steven Asarch posted that he had no idea what was happening. Asarch later confirmed he had spoken to an Inviz representative who verified the statement was legitimate, but claimed they knew “nothing about things being taken down.” He subsequently confirmed the account was restored.
ZacDoor Leaks portion of episode 80, by Strider
December 21, 2025
ZacDoor, a Skibidi Toilet fan animator who had worked on episode 79, published a post revealing that Strider another animator who had previously worked with Boom on episode 78 and 79 (and whose style mirrored Alexey’s), had been hired by Invisible Narratives to work on the next Skibidi Toilet episode.
ZacDoor described Inviz’s calculation as buying recognizable talent in an attempt to fix the quality problem. He included a leaked animation clip Strider had made for Inviz, based on SFM session files from Alexey’s own episode 79 part 2 sessions, which Invisible Narratives had passed to Strider after obtaining them in mid 2025.
ZacDoor argued that Alexey had been pushed out precisely because he was independent and uncompromising, someone who never worked on anyone else’s schedule, spoke openly when disappointed, and refused to let corporate pressure change his creative decisions. He pointed to Alexey’s support of Schlep during the Roblox situation (despite Roblox being an Inviz partner) as an example.
Now, ZacDoor argued that Inviz was attempting to replace that legacy by swapping him with a fan animator as a contractor working directly under them.
Strider’s Response
A few hours later, Strider published his own statement on his YouTube channel. He disputed ZacDoor’s framing, clarifying he was not an Inviz employee but a contractor doing paid work. He explained that unlike ZacDoor, he was a teenage animator and the sole financial support for his family, turning down the money simply wasn’t an option available to him. He stated his end goal had always been to work alongside Alexey, not against him, and that he had taken the job hoping to preserve the series’ authenticity while Boom’s return was still possible. He acknowledged that Alexey was what made Skibidi Toilet and that without him, the series would eventually fall.
In a separate section addressed directly to ZacDoor, Strider pushed back on his specific claims, particularly the suggestion that Alexey had “urgently contacted” Strider for help under pressure. Strider said he had contacted Inviz himself about sound design without any expectation of payment, because he wanted the episode to sound right. He also disputed the characterization of his earlier Discord messages as pro-Inviz, saying he had genuinely believed Alexey wanted to step back from animation at that time.
ZacDoor’s Follow-Up
ZacDoor subsequently published a follow up statement walking back his original framing of Strider. He acknowledged that in private conversations, Strider had consistently presented a pro Inviz stance which had informed his read of the situation – but that new context had since emerged that changed how the situation should be understood going forward. He said he had stepped back from centering the discussion around Strider and refocused on the larger issue.
ZacDoor deleted the original post after these nuances of Strider’s motivations were made clear.
