I keep seeing defenses for the artist, and while a good lot of them are coming from “Fiction=/=reality” and shippers of a similar nature, a lot are coming from fans who think this is just a witch hunt. It’s not, and for those who actually think that I’m gonna share my thoughts.
(Let me state now the whole “call-out thing is dumb, it’s about informing those who don't want that content in their life away from those who produce it. After personally finding this information out, I decided I wouldn’t want anymore to do with her. HAd the evidence shown it WAS an old interest, and not something she supports anymore, the fact is, evidence shows she still does. She’s just upset that people found out.)
“You had to dig so far for the evidence in the callout!”
No! Not at all! The first callout produced evidence from just searching in tumblr. Literally just searching “avril-circus” on the site led to the first two pictures. (The Wen/D/p of and the Sn/rry from Nov. 2018.
I know when I love an artists work I might want to find more, searching the site for their name would lead ANYONE to the same posts.
Their pixiv, which again is a source for more art, from a beloved artist, would have also been found by anyone who merely googled “Avril-circus” (+ pixiv).
Their pixiv contained multiple logs of artwork not on tumblr, and was fun to see! The thing is, some now deleted logs, contained questionable content.
It could have been a fluke, reading too much into it! Looking at their bookmarks however showed multiple instances of joxkin art, much of it in a pornographic nature.
People keep saying, “Maybe they didn’t know it was wrong!” and A-C herself has said, “It was a mistake, I liked the covers.”
The problem, again, is she has always produced moomin art knowing the two were father and son. And some of the comics were clearly labeled as R18 Joxkin. So that excuse just doesn’t hold up. She willingly consumed pedophilic/incestuous art of these characters.
Her DeviantArt page, (more likely to be searched than pixiv I’m sure) has evidence of deleted artwork and old interests. While I find some of what she produced+favorited questionable, these artworks are old.
Her pixiv, however, has recent artwork/bookmarks. She follows artists who exclusively produce NSFW artwork of snfkn/jxtr, and prior to a recent purge, bookmarks clearly defined comics of the content. In her “Follows” page is a most recent addition of a graphic artist who has produced much explicit content, some of which had been bookmarked by Avril.
This is a recent interest. These are RECENT finds. This is NOT hard stuff to find.
It hurts having an artist favor these kinds of artwork, but ignoring it is not the solution. She hasn't even apologized for it! She’s denied these accusations while hiding the truth.
This isn't a group of people going, “Avril is very popular, let’s hurt her!”
This is, “I found some gross content and know that others would also be concerned.” And people are, this is not something you want to find out. It’s devastating.
