Hey folks, since I figure my streams are probably where people will ask me the most about this, it makes enough sense to post it here.
Ren, the composer for Pressure, has made a very thorough post about being sexually assaulted by Zeal, the project lead.
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1V...
Well, I bet you can guess how I'm feeling - I'm shocked, I'm disgusted, I'm disappointed. Much uglier thoughts not fit for print. And yeah - I quit Pressure. I will no longer be the voice of Sebastian Solace.
A lot of great folks have done amazing work on the project, and I've met some really cool people because of it. But I just wouldn't feel right working on it again after learning about this. We've pulled the signed prints for Sebastian from the shop as well. I'm fully done with the role. As for fanart of the character on the Fanart Corner during my streams - I'm sorry, I dearly love the amazing things you all create and appreciate it all so much, but I just don't think I can bring myself to feature pieces for the character after this.
To all the fans who have enjoyed the game, and enjoyed me as the character - thank you. I can never express how much that love means, and always will mean to me. The experiences we all shared still matter - and I hope you never regret any love or creative joy you've taken, no matter how you feel about the project going forward. You are all so amazingly kind and talented. Never let terrible people kill your love - even if you find out you have to channel it elsewhere. There's a lot of cool shit out there to enjoy - and YOU'RE gonna make some of it too.
I know my posts are always too long, but even I can't think of more to add this time. This one's too fucked up. Here's the real bottom line:
Please support Ren.
As a victim of assault myself, who read the doc in its entirety and felt extremely reminded of things that I have gone through, thank you for your support of victims like Ren. You are a legitimately upstanding individual and I am not at all surprised you made the correct call. Thank you so, so much for using your platform and issuing a statement rather than keeping things hush-hush.
thank you for making this statement. as a victim of r--- myself who just got done reading the document, people like zeal deserve only the worst in life and all my sympathy goes to ren <3
Sebastian introduced me to your voice acting. Although its a damn shame what happened, you have a forever fan in me. Thank you for acknowledging this so fast.
Ultrakill fan here. I never played Pressure, but I know it was a massive role for you. It’s absolutely devastating, but I’m proud of you for taking this stance. My heart goes out to the victim.
Your decision is completely justified, and I dearly worry for Ren. I don't get why Zeal would do that. It's like as soon as any Roblox dev gets popular they go and do something awful, and I'm very sad this happened.
Damn it, i feel so fucking bad for ren. I hope your doing okay too gianni, i completely support your decision to quit pressure and no longer be the voice actor. I hope you and ren do alright
I experienced this sorta thing and I feel so much worse for Zeal knowing how it feels
Also I love everyone here agrees to help eachother Reminder THIS IS A SAFE SPACE
Coming from a victim of abuse who found major comfort in Sebastian, I am absolutely disgusted by Zeal and respect your decision in stepping down from the role. Thank you dearly for lifting up Ren's voice - I will keep supporting you both no matter what! <3
Sad to see you go (from pressure) but it’s for the best because I wouldn’t want to work for somebody who kept an S assault secret for so long. Maybe it’s time to also stop playing
I read what happened to Ren and I’m absolutely disgusted, my heart goes out to Ren. Thank you Gianni for leaving that role, nobody should support Pressure anymore
fuck zeal, he can genuinely rot for what he did. i hope so badly ren is able to heal and knows how many of us are on their side. thank you for making a statement on this.
I don’t know how it feels to be a victim of assault, but reading every word of that document shook me to my core. As much as I loved that game with all my heart, what happened to Ren is not okay. It’s unbelievably far from okay, and no human being should ever have to endure that.
seeing all this genuienly hurts, one of the last games on that horrendous platform that I had faith in betrayed me, and now im staring at the artwork of Sebastian I have signed by you thinking on what to even do with it. Ren is such a strong person for bringing this to light and im so glad she did so I can no longer support the people behind it.
I've been through similar to Ren and holy fuck. I feel so fucking terrible for them and what they've been through. Pressure is what introduced me to Sebastian Solace and you, and it's not the same anymore after former HQ had been replaced. It won't be the same without you either. I'm stepping away from Pressure as well. With all the drama, it's probably best.
thank you for speaking about this
I'm going to miss your voice for Sebastian, but it's more important to show support for Ren right now and I respect you highly for being so quick and thorough with cutting ties
Fuck Zeal, Support Ren
I have seen posts regarding this situation all over the Internet, and I am beyond disgusted by how some people are reacting to this.
So many comments I have seen about people upset that their favorite game has been tainted by this and I just have to ask, why is that the first thing that comes to your mind? This isn't about you. This isn't about the game. People keep making statements that ignore the person and focus more on the product, and it makes me sick.
Thank you Gianni for making me aware of this. It is absolutely horrible that this happened to Ren. You and Ren have my full support.
Edited for clarity.
I'm genuinely speechless. A part of me hopes that none of this is real, but even without a response from the Pressure team yet, the evidence and weight to each word is undeniable. Abuse like this takes years to heal, but even with that, I hope that Ren can recover as quickly as humanly possible and I am glad that they have trusted people in their life now outside of Pressure.
The fact that people like Zeal can become so successful through such amazing projects and hide their real, disgusting self in the shadows is gut-wrenching.
Gianni, thank you for the amazing performances that you put as this character. I hope that in the future, in some way, Sebastian can be completely severed from Zeal (though that wish of mine isn't a priority at the moment, and when i say that i do not mean to brush aside the awful shit that was done to ren).
As a community, I hope we can come together and support Ren.
WTF! I just read?... I feel so bad for Ren she didn't fucking ask any of that! I had supported this game cause of well since 2024 and I NEVER through this is what is going to happen. I told myself if anything happens to Pressure I just going to delete my Roblox Account cause I HATE Roblox before and in this game got me to join. I trying not to cry cause its not my story or anything but this is just really upsetting. I fucking hate this fucking world is there truly no good people in this damn world and just respect others words without fucking questioning it? I love Sebastian Solace and I love your voice acting its was so good. I'm in shock, disappointed of what happen. (RIP Pressure and probably my account 2024-2026) it was fun while it lasted.
I just learned about this from you, Mr. Gianni, and I'm glad you spoke about it. As much as I enjoyed Pressure and hearing you voice in it, what happened to Ren is inexcusable. Thank you for making us aware of this.
Genuinely so proud of you taking your stance on this, Gianni. It truly shows your character as well as the other VAs. My heart goes out to all of you, as I've worked with many of you in the past and cannot imagine how hard this must be.
As for any of you that do not know what is going on, I highly suggest you read up on the document provided by Ren/NoLongerNull and stand with them.
This decision was justified. It’s sad to see someone with a seemingly bright future do something like this and both ruin their game that so many people worked hard on and ruin someone’s life at the same time. Sad to hear you aren’t associating with them anymore, but I would’ve done the same thing.
You were already one of my absolute favorite voice actors, but you've gained a ton more respect from me for this decision. I read through the doc, and Zeal's behavior made me genuinely sick. I had to take a break halfway through. Ren is so strong for coming forward and sharing this. This type of thing isn't easy.
Your voice of Sebastian is what originally got me to download Roblox in the first place. Pressure was my favorite Roblox game and I'm absolutely heartbroken to see what it has become. I hope you are okay Gianni and I hope Ren heals like how she needs to. Zeal is a horrible person.
