Honestly very confused about some of the reception re: Chel's doc. Personally, I did not care about the art theft allegation once all the talk of them harassing voice actors, making people uncomfortable face to face, trampling Damien's privacy by making it clear in several ways that they were dating, stealing 18K, being inappropriate with minors and claiming to be 20/21 all came out.
And again, I've skimmed the doc (bc that anon I reblogged was correct--this doc did not need to be this long. Brevity is the soul wit and evidence presentation. Be concise.) and it seems like there is some evidence for the art theft/skinwalking allegations leveled by Bep in specific are as shaky as I personally always thought they were.
Dressing alt and selling merch of copyrighted characters you don't own is something a lot of people do. That was never what I myself found of note. It honestly at its core is just the alt girl version of the Sad Beige Drama lawsuit.
Is it unfortunate that the person who kicked off this whole discussion surrounding Chel might have done it for the wrong reasons/selfish reasons/misguided reasons/etc? Sure.
But we cannot lose sight of the fact that Chel spent 99% of this massive doc addressing the Bep/Beth allegations, skimmed over the shit that actually made them look like a massive weirdo, and then is going to address the Steady Hands thing in another doc??
Questions to ask moving forward:
Did they spend so much time addressing the Bep stuff because its that important? Or was it the only thing they had any real evidence for?
Why not address the allegations of the vanishing 18K first? It's the larger, more actionable (legally) accusation. It's the one I'd be most concerned with if I were them. Or hell, if I were interested in working with them.
There were allegations (iirc) of them having copied Damien to initially get his attention, too. Would love evidence of that because if it's true, that would possibly lend more credence to Bep's accusations of skinwalking.
They "didn't know what metal the jewelry was". Okay. So why lie about it being allergy free?? I know the ability to fudge info about the shit you're drop shipping doesn't make you the next reincarnation of Stalin or whatever. But in they said she said situations, it's important to note where both parties have dropped the ball, fudged the truth, lied, and possibly scammed in the past. If we're calling into question Bep now, we must not lose sight of Chel's questionable actions, either.
Why not edit the doc? Is it because they are long-winded naturally? It's hard to prove a they said she said case? Or was it potentially a purposeful attempt to overwhelm to reader, making it appear as they had more factual evidence to present than they really did possess?
And the unanswerable question of how long before they put out their Steady Hands doc? Is it going to come at all? Or are they banking on enough people believing them and their character because they've 'proved' Bep to be a bad actor thus casting doubt on all of the accusations thrown at Chel?
Just some food for thot, from a thot. <3
