ATTENTION LANSING AREA PUNX:
This is Daniel Ryan Balderas(DRB),
DRB is a faux feminist who uses their place in the punx community to sexually assault people. DRB has assaulted a good friend of mine who will remain anonymous.
DRB sexually assaults people then attempts to manipulate and gaslight them into staying quiet about it. Claiming transphobia and racisms due to the survivors calling them out.
Because DRB is such a popular person in the Punx community they have many friends and supporters to back them up. If you see DRB stay away from them. They’re house is a venue for house shows. They call it “Church of the Three Cats.” Do not go to shows there and advise your friends and fellow punx against it!
Stay away from this faux feminist, manipulative person at all costs.
They are in chicago now, spread the word, make their shit known. Rapists have no place in such a wonderful community.
I haven’t posted on tumblr in a very long time, but I need to now to warn people in the DIY music scene and Anime con scene in Chicago and the midwest in general, this is my former friend and roommate who sexually assaulted a person that they invited to stay at our house, and had been sleeping on a mattress in the basement.
The day after it happened A came to my husband and I, and very emotionally told us that DR had been in and out of the basement moving boxes the night before and asked him if they could join him in bed, and A said yes, then fell back asleep. Later that night, A woke up to DR’s hands under his clothes touching his chest, and A said “Please don’t do that while I’m sleeping it makes me feel gross“ and DR stopped and offered to buy him cigarettes and alcohol, which A declined. Afterwards, for the purposes of having a physical copy of his account he wrote down what happened, and our friend and former roommate, Sage, still has the written account
After this happened, my husband confronted DRB, and asked for their side of the story. DR told him that A and them had kissed earlier in the week, and as such DR thought that they had implied consent. DR knows better.
January 10th of this year I found out that I was pregnant, and my husband and I began making plans to move out of Cot3C, because the conditions in that house were extremely unhealthy. The entire attic is filled with mold, no matter how many times we asked DR to clean the fridge, they would not, and would let food rot in it (and once stored a dead rabbit they found in the freezer), they would not clean their cats’ litter boxes, and their cats, who were infested with worms, would shit and pee on the floor and people’s belongings. Dr Girlfriend, one of their cats, was extremely ill and DR refused to take her to a vet. Dr Girlfriend and Henry were abandoned when they moved to Chicago, Dr Girlfriend died 4 days after they left. In addition to poor maintenance of their home, 3 days after DR moved to Chicago the water was shut off at Cot3C, this came as quite a surprise for the people still living there, who had been consistently giving DR bill money, so they called the Board of Water and Light, and were told that bills had not been paid in full since January, with the only payment this year being $50 in April. My husband and I had also been paying bills in our time at Church, and all of the residents of Cot3C, including me while I was pregnant, were food insecure at the time that DR was pocketing our bill money,.
DR was also, according to the landlord, Tim, $3000 in debt as far as rent. We had consistently paid our rent, as well as the other tenants.
Early in my residency at Church, my husband, who at the time was only my roommate and friend, believed DR had been overcharging for bills, and insisted DR show us the physical bills, which took awhile and many threats to stop paying until they did show us the bills, to get. After they started showing us the bills, we payed significantly less a month, which is not proof that DR was stealing money from us, but seems very likely in light of recent events.
Daniel Ryan Balderas is a sexual predator, a thief, and a liar. They do not show any regard for their friends, their cats, or anyone, including themself. Do not trust them.
Oh yeah, their tumblr is imascientistofmusic and they’ve been spending the last few days harassing people, claiming my friend, Aiko, is supporting the murder of Palestinians because they took a birthright trip to Israel (free trip, mind you), and accusing one of their victims of lying, and posting private messages between them and said victim, who was a minor at the time of the messages and assault.
I once lived at Cot3C myself and, having read this all, I can verify with all certainty that everything said here is true. The place was a pigsty, the cats were severely uncared for by DRB and they have constantly accused me of owing them money. At one point, they went on a 'tour', having abandoned their job to do so, and refused to find employment from the day they returned to the day I left, likely beyond that. They simply spent all day lounging around, ignoring the decaying house around them. Anyone who encounters this person needs to stay very far away, they can not be trusted and they are not good people. Avoid at all costs.
