@ to have your promo / starter reblogged. this account serves more of promo for any accounts affiliated with the sillyverse. however, we will host roleplay events in the future ! ! !
here’s why i left the ofa. and why you should, too!
mind the content warnings. it gets pretty serious, but otherwise it’s a document i’ve been working on for a while now.
i’m gonna convert this blog into a different roleplay blog. i’m going to be part of a different roleplay group/community that i just made. but this time, i’ll be the one handling things
I feel as though I should include my own experiences with the OFA. I put a lot of time and effort into this, if you have the time to spare and it sounds interesting then I suggest you read it :)
anyways, here's the doc. It isn't quite as long as Sunny's, but there's still some stuff in there I think everyone should have a look at.
Good job, you two!!! Everything is properly documented, you shared your experiences well and shared just enough details to keep the readers in the loop. Utilizing hyperlinks and screenshots was a great move on your behalves, I applaud you two.
Now, I agree with everything. I’ve read through the documents, I noted who exactly I saw in them, and I will remember who was involved.
I may as well drop my own experience. I wasn’t really active, yeah… But I wanted to be transparent and come out with my own truths about the situation. How I really feel about what happened, and why I left the @omori-food-administration.
Here’s my experience at the OFA:
The OFA is strange. Not in a good way either, I only really felt comfortable talking when a friend was present. So I often stuck around Sunny, since he was the first one I interacted with, and he’s the one that I trust the most in Discord entirely.
They both made some really good points. If you didn’t read their responses before, then read them.
Sunny and Gholdengo did not deserve any of this. Some of it might’ve been provoked, but they didn’t deserve to be treated like as badly as they were. Sunny is one of the kindest people I know, one of the sweetest and most caring people in Discord.
I’m aware that he comes off as aggressive when we speak sometimes, but he’s like a baby bunny sometimes. Nervous, shy and cagey whenever he feels uncomfortable, he should’ve been treated better when he was in the server. The server did not respect him, and all he wanted to do was help them.
And Gholdengo is kind, too. They’re funny, they’re good-natured, smart and a generally positive person to be around. I listened to his interests and I bonded with them over a few different things.
In my head, I view Gholdengo as a younger brother. I have a younger brother myself, and thinking of my little brother witnessing things that he shouldn’t be, in a supposedly safe space…
It makes me feel so incredibly aggressive.
They were around for all of the incidents. Sunny informed me that Gholdengo was there with him witnessing events that shouldn’t have occurred in a public space like the OFA discord, incidents that should’ve been made private. In some of them, they were even on call together, as everything occurred.
In some of the incidents, I can acknowledge that I may have been aggressive and argumentative, but I’ll be honest. Every time I got involved (which was twice), I was beyond pissed. I was upset, I was one word away from snapping. I joined the OFA to have some fun, a break in my already busy schedule.
However, I won’t be apologizing, for any aggression I may have shown before. On that matter, I would like to get out this message before I leave:
Death, delete the server. Vin, go to hell. The other mods (minus the inactive Kel one), go kick rocks.
Your community fosters violence. Somebody was committing crimes in there, somebody admitted to choking a kitten. I’ve read through the drives, I have seen what exactly your community is like, and I have experienced first-hand how you treat your members.
If Sunny would’ve allowed it, I would’ve filed a police report on Stranger. I would’ve gone through every piece of information they put online just to find their location so I could file that report, because they’re doing something illegal in a public space.
And I would’ve done digging on Vin to file a police report as well. Just to put this into perspective, these are two minors committing crimes in a goddamn Discord server. Both 16 years of age, smart enough to know better, old enough to do better.
The enabling was a shit move. The poor management was an even shittier move, the fact that Sunny had to swallow his fear down and document the situation for the sake of transparency makes it all incredibly and horribly worse.
Vin sent Gholdengo literal gore. Vin made Sunny feel invalidated, you guys made Sunny feel invalidated. They are one of the funniest and nicest people I know, and they got mistreated in your community.
Your moderation team is full of shit. The amount of bias is insane, the favouritism and nepotism made me gag. I can see that Vin lovebombed Death repeatedly to the point of Death unsure of what to do. They manipulated everyone, but not a single one of you caught onto it.
But who did?
Sunny did. Sunny caught onto their manipulation, and he guided us away from the cycle of abuse Vin was attempting to start. If you guys didn’t take Sunny for granted, maybe you guys would’ve received proper guidance and a proper understanding of what to do in future scenarios.
And he’s been honest about everything. In that document, he was honest and clear about everything he spoke about. Even if he was wrong about little details and such, he was speaking the truth.
Let me restate one of his points. Did you know that:
Public meltdown > Anger against SOMETHING (allistics, hypersexuals, themself, other people) > Fawning (people move to try and stop them from hurting themself) > Calming down > Calm stage
… is a cycle of abuse?
I’ve been told that a member came to confront Vin. Somebody went to go try and talk to them, Vin refused to dm her, and it resulted in it becoming a public affair because Gaia (the member) tried to get some information and to talk to Vin herself.
Vin tried to take all of the blame, to try and reconcile because they knew that they were wrong. But that’s how abuse works. They’ll try to make you purposely feel guilty by telling everyone (publicly) that it wasn’t the public’s fault, that it was all them.
If your team had actually made a decision to appoint a new moderator, instead of sitting on it and acting indifferent, maybe the document wouldn’t have been released. I wouldn’t be here, typing out my personal thoughts and experiences of the OFA.
And if the moderation team pushed harder and appointed Sunny, the OFA wouldn’t have been a failing organization.
Fuck the moderation. Delete the server, don’t create a space for further abuse to be taken. Take people more seriously, put an effort into learning.
swept off his feet, sunny has the wind knocked out of his lungs and he can’t even make a more dramatic noise in surprise.
“i- i got you, um… it’s okay.”
sunny starts patting his back. in some halfhearted attempt to comfort him, he ends up just taking hero into his arms. even though his feet aren’t touching the ground, he does his best to be a good friend to his best friend.
Hero could only hold back so many tears. Normally, he’d repress this and pretend that everything is fine, but this is not a situation where ‘normal’ can exist.
“wwhuuuuhuu…. euuuuuhuuu… noooo, i saw them… sorry… s- sorry about your wig, i just…” *sniffle* “sunny… they were spirits, i … sunny… i was scared.”
“wo- wow, um… it’s okay, hero. there’s no- there’s no spirits in my gino’s, at least. cheese guy creature’s gonna eat them. or … i dunno, repel them. you’re safe here, hero…”
“let it all out… i’m here for you.”
sunny’s not really great at comforting people, nor is he good at handling distressed people. but hero is (and will always) be a priority to him, so he doesn’t mind learning how to.
it’s strange. he’s never seen hero this hysterical before, but it looks like whatever hero saw, made him very upset. sunny doesn’t like seeing him this distraught, so he closes his eyes.
Sniffling, Hero eventually recovers. He was out of breath by the time he got into Sunny’s arms, so he sounded absolutely hysterical and unstable.
“s- sorry…”
He’s still apologizing over something he has little to no control over, but he eventually lets Sunny go. Wiping his tears away with his sleeve, he takes a step back so he’d give Sunny his personal space.

Blackspace is a nightmare horror zone inside of Sunny’s mind. There’s also a being called stranger there. He sells drugs
“and someone wanted me to go in ther—”
Pause. Hero reconsiders, after hearing that this is inside of Sunny’s mind.
“… what? um… would sunny mind me entering his mind? this is a really big decision, on such short notice - why is there people in his mind anyways, what’s with the name blackspace, too?”
Hero is currently reconsidering and trying to rationalize this decision. He looks apprehensive about the prospect of entering one of his closest friend’s minds, nonetheless Sunny’s.
“… is this a joke or something?” (i’m definitely being duped, this can’t be real. going into sunny’s mind… what a joke.)
That hot chocolate is one cent short of a million dollars. At that cost, I should set up a hot chocolate stand outside of your hotel and sell it at $10 or so per mug, maybe even more
