A lot of my old Muffins things keep getting likes, so…
I need to clarify… I don’t support the author and over the years I haven’t… I mean, seriously… I just like Muffins, because it’s nostalgic for me. I first discovered Muffins in 2015, and listened to ‘The Revenge Of Obsidian Pie’ and a bitta ‘Broken Tiara’. It began my interest in writing, well, probably didn’t begin, but certainly advanced it. I am pretty sure my brain development was a bit… fucked up though by it. I revisited the series in 2020, or 2019, don’t remember.
I only began Muffinsposting in 2021, mostly shitposts between friends, but I never really clarified my stance on whether I support the author, so that’s what this post is. No, I don’t. Do I believe she deserved any harassment she got? No, absolutely not, and shame on you if you did harass her. Do I believe she deserved any criticism she got? Absolutely. So, I’m gonna explain why I don’t support the author of ‘Muffins’.
I’ll highlight in red the important things. Everything else isn’t that big of a deal, or isn’t as important as the red things.
Here is a post where she makes some… interesting confessions. (2019) (tw: animal ab*se)
No, I won’t recount every time she has insulted, threatened or spread lies about people because it’s practically every post. No, I won’t recount every time she has justified Lonnie. No, I won’t recount every time she has demonised NPD despite being mentally ill herself. No, I won’t recount her vents about her mother because why would I? She can vent if she wants. No, I’m not including her 1000’s of dream posts.
Scroll to the part where it says ‘now, I wouldn’t have a problem with her being ugly’ and you will witness excellence. (2011)
This one isn’t really a big deal, just kind of… threatening a kid? (2015)
“Muffins is good because it’s popular” (a sentiment she holds to this day) (2016)
“I’m not hostile…” she says, making *this* post (2018)
People being worried and trying to be kind is apparently the worst sin ever (2019)
“People hate me, and it couldn’t possibly be because I did anything wrong ever” (2019)
She dated a 14 year old when she was 18. Make of that whatever you want. (2020)
Okay I’m not sure what to make of this… but you should read it and form your own thoughts (2021) (tw: grooming)
Be careful looking through her Wordpress, she posts a lot of SH photos there.
Her Twitter is deactivated so there are no links to anything that could be proven. So I won’t include anything here.
Accuses someone of faking being trans because they don’t like the word tr*p (2018)
Oh hey, I forgot to link this (2016, cw victim blaming)
This. This whole thing. She is cis.
This whole video, and the thumbnail. Pisses me off.
The infamous LAR. (24:51-28:35, roughly.)
Like yeah I don’t have the energy to track down every awful thing she has said or done, but these are the ones I remember. Well, I remember a few others… some are really bad and not discussed much but I can’t find them, and others are so trivial they aren’t worth discussing.
I’m not gonna say she is guilty of everything she’s been accused of. A lot of people don’t know what happened so I’ll summarise: in 2019 or 2020, this guy harassed Reitanna on Twitter over wanting to lose weight, and proceeded to make 93, yes, 93 videos about her. Is that okay? Was Reitanna wrong for that? No. But the thing is that she hardly ever rants about how what he did was wrong, instead she’s been attacking the same few people over the years. Look, it’s not that I’m close minded. Of course I wanted the author of my childhood inspiration to be a good person! I’ve read a lot of her Wordpress, I’ve seen almost every LAR of hers (including the one she forgot to put behind a paywall… it was weird…), and I even watched that incredibly long video she released after her attempt. And she doesn’t debunk anything. She just says ‘I can’t lie it’s my code of honor’. Like? That’s not an argument? And ‘oh if I was such a bad person my husband would’ve left me ages ago’ like literally just logical fallacies, trying to guilt trip people and not taking responsibility for her actions. She doesn’t show any evidence against these claims. Maybe in her video against the hot box she does, but I haven’t seen it. It’s age restricted and I am not going to give Youtube my info. <:(
From what I’ve seen on her DA and YouTube, and her Reddit post about ‘am making amends’, the only discussion she is open to having is one with no criticism (her words, not mine), and it seems from her other interactions you have to step on eggshells around her, beg for forgiveness and be REALLY kind. Being ‘civil’ in her mind is being over the top polite. What she cited as ‘proper criticism’ was someone saying ‘this part of your art is great and all but maybe you could change this? only if you want to though, it’s really nice it can just be improved.’ (Paraphrasing). Like criticism doesn’t have to have any kindness in it, it just has to be contructive. And even rude criticism could be valid, as much as it sucks, horrible, vile people can make valid points. And really kind people can have bad points. It’s better to ignore, or act calmly around people. If you show the internet that you are prone to lashing out, people will try and provoke you more. I’m not saying the solution is to not be rude ever to anyone, but if she wants people to assume the best of her when she comes off as rude, why can’t she do the same for others? She also seems to think that everyone who criticises her or believes in the criticisms levied against her were ‘manipulated’ or intentionally malicious, as if there’s no in between. I truly wonder if some people are incapable of self-reflection or trying to look at things from an outside viewpoint.
I like her work. Muffins, as flawed as it is and as… straight up bad it gets near the end, is fun. It’s goofy. Encephalon/RF is a hit and miss for me. Ride With Me and stories like it are cool… Hard Candy is uhh… okay… Pushed Too Far is disgusting, Evelyn’s Clone is fun and cute… everything else is hit or miss. Diary Of A Serial Killer is goofy and some of the methods are unrealistic or impossible but from what I’ve read it’s… eh. Madeline? Good read, enjoyed it thoroughly. Domination? Not so much… apparently she has a comic called PWF? Idk, I only seen one episode of Invader Zim cuz I can’t find the rest but I’ve heard ZaDr is like, frowned upon for some reason, idk.
I just wish she would learn to see things from other peoples perspective. She struggles with SH, and recently admitted she wants to be sedated and such… but can’t understand why addicts can’t quit. She has bipolar, but accuses her critics of having npd as an insult? Granted, people trying to armchair diagnose her are just as bad… other stuff as well, just… yeah. Oh, she’s also the embodiment of r/iamverysmart but like… I don’t really care to be honest, her bragging about her intelligence isn’t as big of a deal as ‘that’s your fucking fault, you moron’.
Some people took criticism too far, but she acts like that’s everyone. It isn’t. I have never commented on her platforms. I have never followed her platforms. I never even made a post on the situation until now. And that’s only because I want to clarify something. I have only spoken publicly about Rei on three occasions: now, on an amino post, and in a comment on a YouTube community post about the bakers becoming alicorns, which wasn’t even a negative comment, but me stating it was probably a sarcastic comment on the creators behalf. (I hope it was anyway.) But yeah. That’s all this post is. Back to regular shitposts. Will I post more Muffins stuff in the future? Maybe. But from now on, I’m going to be pretty clear about my stances. I mostly just Umineko post nowadays though. Anyway, swaggggg…. I’m out.
Oh, she also hates furries for some reason? Idk I feel like she never grew out of anti-sjw cringe culture ahah. Tbf I don’t really “get” the furry thing… but yeah. She’s a Scorpio guys, it’s okay. It’s like how I should be able to lash out on who I want because I’m an Aries! And it’s okay that my ego is up my ass because I’m a Leo rising AND… the other sign… is it Sun? I don’t care. The fuck do the other signs mean anyway? How do I calculate my ‘Venus sign’?
