Predator allegations
Around early 2016-late 2018, a Tumblr account by the name of CLOWDERGATE accused Meyer of soliciting sexually explicit images from an anonymous 17 year old girl when he was 27-28. CLOWDERGATE also claims that he was married and had an unnamed kid while he was doing this, as well as exposing Meyer’s alleged real name.

Disappearance
In response to these claims, Meyer abruptly vanished from the Internet before releasing Where They Cremate The Roadkill, going completely missing after 2019. He has completely deactivated nearly all of his social media accounts, including his Blogspot, DeviantArt, Twitter and YouTube, ceasing all online presence.

Handling of criticism
In response to a negative review of Middens, Meyer argued with the reviewer by using the phrases “If you can’t make it then don’t criticize it,” angrily accusing the reviewer of ‘not getting it’ and bullying another reviewer by saying “Oh, and my high horse, it’ll take a big gratituous dump on your grave :)” You can find this review here.https://rpgmaker.net/games/3843/reviews/3562/
