#follower callout.

"haha the ex-za/um people are doing leftist infighting, how disco" um. Summer Eternal is literally a worker owned co-op and Argo Tuulik said: "To all other former respected comrades (Kurvitz, Rostov, everyone) – long time no hear, but we would love for you to join the struggle as well: time to roll up our sleeves and start building communism!”

meanwhile Dark Math has Kaur Kender (one of the moneymen) and a motion graphic designer who follows Joe Rogan and a bunch of conservatives on twitter. is the leftist infighting in the room with us right now

Shin Tsukimi is the most realistic character ever hes this 20 year old with no friends and no stable income who spends all him time online and is convinced that the biggest threat to his life is some high school girl he just met

idk who needs to hear this but being racist to someone is bad even when they were racist first

So I debated responding to this at all, but I thought it would be educational to explain how & why I knew this was bait.

I will not post the ask uncensored because I don't want to contribute to a smear campaign.

Ask is anon; it must be answered publicly, meaning my followers will all see it. Whoever is sending it is unwilling to stand behind the warning.

It's about a follower- not someone I've collabed with, or am friends with, just some random follower. I wasn't sent this bc of personal culpability or concern for my safety; I was sent this bc I am a large enough blog to guarantee attention.

'Move to a secondary app to ask us for proof, which we totally have.' <- THIS is an intentional stumbling block. The goal is that most people will not do that, they'll get this ask and go 'Well I don't want to dm... but better block them, better safe than sorry." This also conveniently means that if the callout is fabricated or has insubstantial proof (an almost sure bet or else they would've just.. linked it here), it won't be subject to much/any scrutiny.

"Surely these aren't the sort of people you want to share spaces with" Note how there's time for several sentences emphasizing how much proof they have of how evil this person is... but I have to dm someone to find out ANY specifics. No brief summary of previous crimes, no indication that I would need to be concerned for anyone's safety (including my own), just the implication that I wouldn't want to be near someone so gross.

Anyways, in conclusion: this ask isn't meant to keep anyone safe, it's meant to scare & drive out the person targeted by spreading vague distrust to as many people as possible. If you get this message, don't answer it: your ask box is being used as a stage to convince your followers not to trust this person. Don't be a mouthpiece.

dream stans here who are multifandom, how do u deal with there being outspoken antis (whether its anything between a loud group to literal thousands of them) in ur other fandom(s) bc i feel like im walking on eggshells and unwelcome solely because of who i like and its beyond shit. i can barely interact with anyone like god i applaud your strength bc im literally about to lose my patience with the p.handom and its been just 5 months 💀

[valtsv]

wait what do you mean you famously received anon hate? (/genuine)

i was cyberbullied on here for years to the point that there are public posts with hundreds and even thousands of notes (which still exist) about what a repulsive waste of space i am out there. things have improved enough in the past couple of years that i feel comfortable staying here and talking about it in these vague terms, but it was one of the lowest points in my life and not something i like to dwell on.

This is the second time, this annoying asshole has come to crying/complaining about the skintone of MY Katniss. When it happened the first time, I gave the user the benefit of doubt as Katniss skin tone is only mentioned in the book and in the movies she's portrayed by the pale Jennifer Lawerence. But since this topic crop it's ugly head around again, it's coming off as very racist and woefully unwelcomed, @bethaniagia.

I want to preface this incase someone wants to twist my words, I have nothing against black people and I don't wish to offend anyone when I say my Katniss isn't black. I don't portray her the way I do with the intent to characterize her a person of black descent. Aside from being part Seam and Merchant, Katniss is racially ambiguous. The only canon thing we know from the books is that she has darker skin than those of the merchant class and sliver eyes. Therefore it's within my right to portray her however the fuck I want to portray her. And I portray her as someone as Seam descent.

Now i'm going to gush over MY Katniss because I love her exactly the way she is and no one will convince me otherwise to change her. I love her dark skin, the rich warm hue that's reminiscent of the woods and the forests she loves so dearly. I love how it makes her silver eyes pop and how it makes her favourite colour, green, shimmer off her skin. I love giving her a reddish, warm undertone, indicative of her inner fire. She's our girl on fire, after all.

I love how her darker skin tone is visual indicator off the very real class divide that exists within District 12 and how her relationship with Peeta and her mother and father, display that class CAN be crossed and genuine love can be find despite it all. Katniss holds her identity of Seam close to her. The movies cut it out, like it does many things, but that doesn't mean its no less important, no less meaningful. So if I wish to portray this class divide through her skin tone, I can and I will.

Anyway, @bethaniagia, I just want to say your behaviour is very not cool and its, quite plainly, shitty community/fandom etiquette and behaviour. I take time out of my day to share and create my silly drawings of Miss Katniss Everdeen kissing her boyfriend. If you don't like it, block and turn the other cheek. This kind of attitude KILLS engagement and fun in any community. It can cripple the the motivation to share work with the fandom. I don't give a shit. I do what I want. But I KNOW there are writers and artists that keep thier work to themselves because they're worried about blacklash from people like you.

Now, I don't expect you to give it nor do I expect you to read to the end of this post, but I'd like an apology, otherwise, I'll be blocking you at the end of the week. I'd like to keep this up long enough for you to read it. :)

waitwait

have you been posting about

ariana grande x random man i don’t know about

ariana grande x mumbo jumbo

OR fem/fem presenting grian x mumbo jumbo

i am so confused

I have been posting GRIANde x Mumbo 😭😭

Griande is a skin/persona Grian had in s6 based off Ariana, but for this AU I consider them two different people that happen to look like, she also doesn’t have wings like he does.

It’s technically Grumbo. I guess. But I don’t ship Grian x Mumbo . But I do ship Griande and Mumbo. Kind of Funny

i also don’t want to portray myself as faultless. my work isn’t ai and it isn’t copied. but nk will say i Had old pieces that were copied and referenced ai. Yet it isn’t good faith when i apologize, state how i took accountability, and explain thats definitely not the case today because i learned my lessons- to respond with well you made these mistakes in the past so how can i believe you, you are lying, and have not changed.

so i quit. how can i prove myself then besides what i mentioned in the last post. my question is will you even ALLOW me to prove myself. each time i must explain, i place a spotlight on something that was resolved agreeably with the artists, resolved by removing the works, and resolved within myself by learning from it. but by not saying something i also allow You to concoct narratives and have to watch people spread them around and come to me demanding apologies. it is a very uncomfortable very distressing process that has worn me down completely.

never mind that other artists who have copied have not nearly been requested to apologize as much as i have been. never mind that they were forgiven when they removed the works or even when they just say sorry and don’t remove the work at all. But you still choose to hound me afterwards for doing just that?

nk has stated that i have not fixed this. and that i must address it. how many times though? for how long also? who on this planet starts the conversation by recounting all their mistakes, especially when they know they are resolved.

i have had to learn my lessons through cruelty like yours. trust me its a trauma i have to bear and they are not lessons you then forget.

my anger and my feelings of defeat come from the fact that even after nk was still talking like i had not even attempted to make progress. just look at your tone here.

I think I'm gonna have 1 thing as a "dni" and its if you would make/spread a callout

At the end of the day everything can be handled in dms or as a pinned or send an ask or something. Even if the person did some atrocious stuff you contact a professional or someone they know irl to stop it at the root. They can just remake under a new alias and harm more people undercover now that they know they have a target

And ofc there's the "raising awareness" aspect but once again what good does it really do? You're just gonna expose the person as what YOU know and as I said its literally so easy to just rebrand. And from someone who's had a callout once from malice and another for "good intentions" and as someone who has made callouts at like 14 I know that they do more harm than good
