ATTENTION JUST SHAPES AND BEATS COMMUNITY

TRIGGER WARNINGS: Mentions of rape, sexual abuse/harassment, pedophilia, incest and grooming minors. Recently, I have been informed by various anonymous sources that there has been some inappropriate and unsafe online behaviour from three prominent members of the JSAB community. These members are Mirei Toyama Animations (formerly known as BreaBear Jones,) Afrothunderxx96 and Cinnamonroll696 These behaviours include creating animations, comics and images of illegal and/or harmful content of fictional characters including rape, sexual abuse/harassment, incest and pedophilia, as well as instances of grooming children online into creating and sharing explicit fictional content. I would like to call out these behaviours in order to protect young and vulnerable members of the JSAB fandom from being exposed to such content. I do not intend to cause any harm and simply wish to raise awareness on the situation. I must remind everyone NOT to message, harass, troll, doxx or engage with the individuals involved. Please read the Google document below carefully and make an informed decision of whether or not you wish to take action by blocking and reporting these individuals. You may also share this post to help spread awareness and to help keep the Just Shapes and Beats community safe for all. Thank you. Click here to read the document

I have been in the long and heavy process of writing the follow-up posts to my initial call-out post, which I will be uploading at a later date (explanation below.) I have found a feature on Tumblr which allows me to label my posts as mature themes so minors and people who do not want to read about content depicting fictional sexual violence will not be exposed to it. I am sorry I have not done this earlier, I was unaware it was a feature until I looked it up recently, so from now all of my call-out posts will include the mature content filter, as well as the filters for violent and sexual content. I asked Afrothunder to do the same with her posts involving mine but so far (as of writing this message) she has not done it. -------- These follow up posts are going to include all of the screenshots that people have been asking for, as unfortunately, my decision not to include them in fear of upsetting people has caused many to doubt my authenticity and to accuse me of lying or being malicious. -------- The reason why I am creating these call-out posts is not to shame or 'attack' these content creators, but rather to share my experience on how this content has impacted me, explain the potential impact it may have on others, inform people so they can decide what they want to do with the information and hopefully educate people (including the content creators themselves) on why rape and SA need to be treated lightly and taken seriously, even in works of fiction, as how they depicted it in some of their words is harmful and triggering. This does not apply to Mirei Toyama/BreaBear Jones because creating content depicting pedophilia and grooming actual children online is inexcusable. She needs to take a good, hard think about what she has just done, apologise to all the people she has directly hurt and never do it again. I will be taking these matters to the cyber police rather than address it in a call-out post. Afrothunder and CR69 do not have any allegations and suspicions of directly causing harm to people. They may not have a full understanding of why the images and comics they made that are hurtful, so I am giving them the benefit of the doubt. -------- I have every right to criticise this content and share my feelings and experiences. Even if content if fictional, it will have an effect on people. It is important that storywriters, artists and animators consider this, and ensure to write sensitive topics in a way that is considerate and respectful of real life audiences. This involves treating topics like rape, sexual abuse and grooming with the upmost caution, never depicting them in ways that normalises and/or glorifies it or dismisses the abuse simply due to it being in works of fiction. Abuse, especially sexual abuse should never be depicted in a positive, fetishized or humorous way as it has negative impacts on survivors and sets a very unrealistic representation which sadly misinforms a lot of people (especially when it comes to the trope of sexual violence against men being played as a 'joke'.) -------- Also yes, I am LeaderWretched. I have changed my username to reflect this, since now there is no point hiding behind anonymity when everyone knows it is me. I am in the process of talking with CR69 before I make these posts to clear things up and hopefully resolve the issues with them and apologise if need be. I will be working on my post for CR69 which includes the screenshots I should've intially provided in the next few days or week ahead, after I have spoken to her. Please be patient with me, as I have a lot of personal things going on right now that I need not disclose. I need to seek support, put myself first and prioritise self-care so I can support my family. Thank you for your patience and understanding. EDIT: I created 3/4 follow-up posts for my experience with Afrothunder. I am in the process of writing the fourth one and it should be uploaded within a few days or so. First post Second post Third post

Important

Hello guys, this post is about something serious that recently I caught wind of.

Aparently there have been some allegations brought against me a few days ago, someone called me out in an attempt to cancel me and put some things that are serious along with 2 other persons but I will be mainly focusing in the accusations that were brought against me.

I want to say that if you guys believe any of this, well you are well within your right to believe it, if you wanna be dissapointed at me its fine, you wanna block me or stop following me because of this? Sure no hard feelings.

A friend and I will be addressing this whole drama as part of it also involved him too which the person who posted this decided to skip over because they are someone not really known, so yeah as I said if you want to stop following me or block me because of this go ahead you are in your right to do so.

But I advise you to at least wait a bit, cause I want you guys to at least hear my side of things and what happened that lead to this.

Any questions you might have that you want to send through the ask button or on DM, I will gladly answer them.

Possible spoiler and/or half baked prediction of the Royal graveyard lol

Circubit is trying to use his powers in combination with The Reaper's abilities to make a necromancy army within the Royal graveyard loyal to him only, possibly overthrowing the pink corruption and/or heroes.

I think these few things being in the air made me pull them together:

Iris connecting Circubit getting help from The Reaper because his fate was similar. Circubit taunted Iris with that fact in S2 EP 2.

Circubit confiding with Cyanide how he's not listening to Dub's orders, removing his alignment with the corrupted AND heros.

In theory, a combination of Circubit's mind control with his headphones and the Reaper's ability to bring the dead back to life, they make a pretty powerful combo, depending on how large that royal graveyard is. Think of how this is probably going to AFFECT IRIS mentally as well

Circubit DID say to Cyanide they would meet again soon...Cyanide, being with the good guys now...despite how well that's going/sarc

REEEEVOOOLLUUUUTIOOOOONNN!!!!!

could y'all help with something important??

tw: Zoophilia

ok so...I was scrolling through youtube and looking through comments and I found a channel called Zappy_the_zoo, I thought they were a anti at first but when I visited their channel I saw that they are a zoophile. They are clearly underage and believe that they are attracted to animals. Could you guys please pitch in and help? Do not watch her videos or comment on them. Just silently report her and leave, reblog to spread the word!!

p.s I suggest reporting her for child endangerment, since Zappy thinks she is a zoo and she's underage I believe. and she clearly is not safe in the zoo community with other zoos

My experience with Afrothunderxx96 - Part 1: Before the conflict started (Pre-Covid 2019 to Earlier 2024)

--------

Please click here to read the introduction post first There are no explicit content mentions and no trigger warnings for this post or my introduction post. Potential TW for mentions of trauma though.

--------

Pre-Covid 2019 - Early 2021:

My story begins when I joined the JSAB community and created a Discord account in late 2019, just before COVID-19 was a thing. Not long after joining and participating in the JSAB fandom, I came across Poketom's YouTube fan dubs of Afrothunder's JSAB comic called Close to Your Heart and I quickly became a fan. I also found and became a fan of many other JSAB artists and creators and had a natural affinity towards many people's versions of Cube and Blixer.

From then on, I began following Afro's DeviantArt at the time, where she posted the comic pages, artworks relating to Close to Your Heart and her other drawings and character designs.

As my interest in The Pink Corruption (another JSAB fan series) began to slip away due to the drama involved in its production, drama in the fandom, the inappropriate behaviour of Mirei Touyama (BreaBear Jones at the time) and the decreasing quality of the animations and plotline, my interest in Close to Your Heart steadily increased. I engaged in Afrothunder's content even more from then on.

All the JSAB content I was into at the time (including TPC and CTYH) helped me through the lockdowns. It gave me something to look forward to and something to be happy about. I was delighted every time Afrothunder released new art and every time Poketom would make a fan dub of her comics and mini comics.

I've always appreciated Afrothunder's art style and artistic talent (and I still do even after all of this.) She became an inspiration for me to try and create my own JSAB story, comics and drawings. After I almost completely lost interest in The Pink Corruption, my Cube, who was a TPC head canon at the time became a character of my own original JSAB story. Here, he is the main protagonist and is chosen to mentor and care for Cyan, having to overcome his own struggles and trauma to be able to teach him to be brave and strong. It is a feel-good story where both of them eventually learn that the world needs people with kindness more than it needs people with power, and a good hero is one who is not without fear, but kind and courageous enough to face their fears. I can give Afrothunder credit for giving me motivation and inspiration to create a JSAB story of my own. --------

Late 2021:

In November 2021, I became one of Afrothunder's supporters of her Patreon page she had at the time. I was so happy to see exclusive and behind-the-scenes content on Close to Your Heart, as well as knowing I was financially supporting her. She said that she had seen my username on her DeviantArt before, and we occasionally chatted about CTYH and each other's characters and stories.

I even spoke to her about the idea of creating CTYH merchandise, which she eventually took on. I bought a sticker from her and put it on the corkboard on the back of my bedroom door, along with my pin collection, a commission of my Cube I bought from someone else and photos of my beloved pets. The corkboard served as a little reminder of the things that are worth focusing on in life and the things that bring me meaning and joy.

Even though Afrothunder was very busy, did not release drawings or comic pages frequently and did not get the chance to reply to me often, I still unconditionally supported her, keeping my Pateron subscription even though there was no new content being released.

(Both of us deleted our Patreon accounts so unfortunately I have no screenshots of it apart from this one. She likely does not have screenshots of her Patreon either.)

Some messages I sent to a friend at the time about Afrothunder's Patreon and merch:

I believe I suggested the Cube pillow as merch, but it never became a thing. neither did the New Game Blixer tee waaaahhhhhh (The Cube pillow was a running joke early on in CTYH where there was a pillow with JSAB Cube on it in scenes where Cube from CTYH was supposed to be, since she was not officially revealed yet) And yes, I've been struggling with my mental health, depression and trauma since most of it began many, many years ago. Please try to understand why I am so upset by what happened with Afrothunder, who I cared about very much. I have been going to therapy and psychology for my entire life too but I feel like I'm that badly broken that nothing can fix me anymore. -------- 2022 - Earlier 2024:

In January of 2022, Afrothunder made a post on her DeviantArt at the time where she admitted why she was very inactive online over the past few months and not making any new content. To protect Afrothunder's wishes and privacy, I am not going to say what it was. It is up to her whether or not she wishes to disclose this information, but it made me really worry for her. Even after our conflict, I still hope she is doing well and not in a situation like that any more. I would continue to support her as best as I could by continuing my subscription to her Patreon even though no new content was being released. I would engage with her, comment on her DeviantArt uploads and watch her livestreams. Every time Afro posted a new artwork and every time I watched one of her drawing streams, it motivated me to start drawing again, since she makes comic drawing look so easy. I've been struggling with the motivation to draw for years and Afrothunder's work uplifted and encouraged me to try getting back into it. During this whole time frame, I was a big fan of Afrothunder. Her content would always make me smile and give something to be happy about with everything bad that has been going on in my personal life. I've spent years trying to heal and focus on things in life that bring me joy, including my studies, my passion for nature, my pets, my family, my friends and my characters. The JSAB fandom was a big thing for me because it gave me a community to interact with and helped me feel less alone. -------- I will explain what happened in my next post, which I am currently writing. I need to word it carefully so I don't mention any inappropriate details (my intent for these posts is to tell my story in a way suitable for all audiences.) I also do not want to get harassed or invalidated again for sharing my personal story, my perception and how it has impacted me. I'll be ignoring and reporting any nasty comments from now on. I will only answer questions if people speak to me in a respectful manner, do not insult me and do not invalidate my feelings because they do not understand them. Like I said in my previous post, I am neurodivergent and I have depression and trauma, so I perceive things differently to how most other people would. -------- Thank you for taking the time to read this so far. Please click here to read the second post I will be writing and uploading a third one as well.
