For those who don’t know, when I talk about “what happened to the XKit guy”, I’m referring to this post. Flags itself as “potential predator alert” even though it’s actually asking for evidence. No evidence whatsoever just yet, right?
Understandably, somebody sent an ask through, and the blog responded with this. Now, I don’t know about you, but a few things stick out about this post…
“we unfortunately haven’t received any submissions/asks on him at this point in time” I think this speaks for itself.
“seeing that he’s a popular user on this website” This was the one that made me snap. Hey, XKit guy’s popular, XKit guy’s well-known and beloved by the Tumblr community, let’s out him as a predator! Wouldn’t that be cool and edgy and controversial?!?!?!?!?!
One claim, which can’t be released, and the rumours started flying. And, from what I’ve gathered, the XKit guy received so many hate messages that he has now had a breakdown and won’t be updating the extension any more.
If you spread any of these rumours when they dropped, and you’re complaining now about the new update and how you want it fixed, I’m sorry, but you brought this on yourself.
