My advice on the news, as someone who’s watched much worse and much more explosive YouTuber “fallouts” many times before:
One, don’t go hunting for answers. Either the people involved will supply them when they’re ready (or even if they’re not, depending on outside curiosity and demands) or you will have to get invasive and annoying to get those answers. Be completely honest with yourself: does not having that information affect you in a detrimental way? Remember, it is not your duty to know every bad thing someone you like has done. There’s no such thing as being a moral failure for having enjoyed content from someone when you didn’t know they were… whatever is up with Iskall. Be brutally honest: do you NEED to know what happened, or are you morbidly curious?
Two, depending on what answers do or don’t come to life, allow yourself to feel things accordingly. If it comes out he’s done some heinous shit, allow yourself to be angry and grieve. Don’t start an online mob or anything, but you’re allowed to feel sad about it. If it comes out he didn’t do anything but had, like, a significant difference of opinion or something that led to the hermits parting ways with him, let yourself feel relieved or annoyed or whatever and do what you feel best doing. If no answers come at all - learn to let mysteries sit unsolved. You do not need to know everything, least of all any potentially problematic things a youtuber you like has done.
