i fr did Not want to make this Post but I Think Its Needed.

gaby/sensurian/cyt0sis, has a history of being antiblack, towards me, and many other black people.

my experience with them personally includes me being non-sexually groomed and put through toxic situations in dms (i was 15, they were 24)

so id Strongly Suggest. Not Indulging in their Artwork. And to not support them. Especially when they keep on trying to come back, and act like nothing happened?… and then to keep pandering to black audiences while hiding an antiblack past… thats off.

I had looked up to them for their osmosis jones art but then I had continued to keep coddling gaby in dms whenever they fucked up and explaining everything their mistakes, it all . But instead they proceeded to simply leave and deactivate, without a word, leaving me to look like a fool and feel genuinely hurt. Again, I was 15 at the time, they were 24.

At the time, I thought that this behavior was okay and it wasnt. Since then I realize now how stupid that was on my part, but how can they expect to start fresh and start a new without the consequences of their actions following them? And to not even address it when coming back, but instead trying to hide it and brush it off as drama.

It was my mistake to think that I finally found an adult or another artist who had the same interest as me in a fandom space, osmosis jones, one unfortunately filled with antiblackness, fetishy art and like. Not safe for kids? Which I hate truly because osmosis jones is a pg animated movie..

Here’s examples of the dms between Gaby and I during the situation from a year ago:

If a minority group tells you to own up + a mutual of yours (from said minority group) continues in your dms explaining the mistake you made and telling you to apologize… Then how self absorbed do you have to be to deactivate without a word, and then come back in my discord dms all this time later??? “im not coming back to that platform for good big accounts r getting involved again, etc” and I just. Blocked them.

It wasn’t just big accounts it was Black People telling you to own up. But then your actions and your words, even if not intended to do so, made the situation how it came to be. There is no excuse especially when there was me, of all people, in direct messages, trying to show you what black people needed from you in order to resolve said issue, but instead of that you… idk. left?

Of course, the apology and everything they said just feels disingenuine. This is because right after deactivating:

1. They used their gimmick account to to use a sudden blaccent while writing and angry post about said drama

2. Death threats on “you people” (note “you people” is oftentimes if not always, a microagression, especially when the people in question were black people who called them out)

3. And then.. weaponizing the fact that I had came out to them about my experience with being groomed in the osmosis jones fandom… in order to justify their actions..?

I don’t care if gaby gets a following again, people will excuse anything and will take this stuff with a grain of salt. However, it’s not okay to pretend all of this didnt happen, and expect to not face any of the lingering consequences of their actions. To just “move on” and make new accounts, and not even bring it up, acting as if people wont find out and know?… That’s all I’m doing here.
