I was always scared to give Kyle feedback tbh lol. Everyone at Sickmutt was deathly afraid of him and we had to tread lightly when working with him in case you didn't praise his work enough
I'm just a hobbyist artist. I do art on the side, I would like to do projects of my own with other talented artists out there.

At one point, before my fallout with him. He was looking for people's feedback on a pitch he was doing for Mondomedia on a sheep character of his. I was more than willing to have a look on what he had to offer. He send me a link of storyboards. I liked how they were drawn, except there was one problem. Every character was cursing like a sailor. After looking at the boards, I commented to Kyle that the boards looked great, but told him to cut down on the cursing. He responded saying 'adults LOVE cursing!'. Gee. I wonder why the pitch didn't go anywhere.
I still remember seeing that exchange where Kyle threw a fit in response to your title card comment. I was stunned at his arrogance and immaturity ("...being accepted as a FB friend is a privilege, not a right...", give me a fucking break) and it remains one of the most unprofessional responses I've ever seen from someone in the industry.
I lost all respect for him at that point, tho I admit I can't really find catharsis in the fact that he's an even bigger POS than I thought and everyone knows it. I have friends, very close friends who mean the world to me, who knew and worked with Kyle and considered him a friend too. They're heartbroken by his vile crimes and his betrayal of their trust, and it kills me.
My heart goes out to his victims who dealt with his abusive BS, his family who have to deal with a loved one turning out to be a monster, and everyone who now realizes they wasted their friendship on a man who didn't deserve it. Good riddance to this absolute pud.
I think one of the big red flags that I had come across from him that was that when a friend of mine on here suggested I apologize to him(to start a new from finding out he was also stalked by the same stalker I was stalked by). He flat out didn't hear me out and told me to get lost. I guess I dodged a nuke from doing that.
I already lost respect from him when he yelled at me over just having a compliment over how the title cards looked for a show that he storyboarded on. I even had to deal with some of Kyle's friends who got on my case just because I called out his bad behavior, they were downright defending it calling ME the bad guy. I dont even know why they hung around with him before he was busted. It just showed that the 'high school mentality' never left them. I figured something was wrong with the guy, but to see that he was just as bad(if not WORSE than John K?) I didn't see that one coming.
A lot of people who worked on Magiswords had revealed there was a lot(and I do mean A LOT) bad behind the scene stuff that happened right when the news got out about Kyle's true nature being exposed. Anyone who was close to that monster, deserves my sympathy.

If you ask me, even before all of this, the guy came off as someone who didnt want to take responsibility and grow up. Right now we just have to wait for him to be given justice for everything he did. I hope the best for those he's hurt, you included.

Some people I know said he even looked like a predator before he was even busted. It honestly just raises a lot of questions. Did he have this sort of history beforehand with women? Even before he worked for professional studios? He's honestly done a lot of damage since women are speaking out about this.
