95% of online cis-hets terminally obsessed with Xenoblade sure are creeps, huh. I hate this and it just keeps getting progressively worse since the first receipts. I say 95% because there are some I know (can't say who) or really hope are fine but won't mention because I don't want to be responsible for throwing the ball. I don't know who said that thing about most cis-het terminally-obsessed fans being creeps, but I've seen it mentioned on Twitter when I still used it.
So I just read his response post on April 19, and I'm just glad he did get help and hopefully does better in the future. It gets real dark if you struggle with mental health issues and trauma though, so be warned if you decide to read it. For a while now even probably when I made my original post, I was thinking about the "grow and change as a person" meme, because even him admitting to it originally was a sign he had the potential to improve. The vast majority of us can change, I know I did.
I still don't let him off the hook for what he did (just like when I was semi-unbased), but at least according to him it wasn't quite as bad with regards to his behavior. While it would be good to then hear what Emily has to say about his response, I don't want this to keep going forever since it's stressful for everyone.
unrelated: Someone improving on their behavior is an important part of left-wing politics, which is why "once a nazi, forever a nazi" is bad since it just keeps them there. For the record, my issue wasn't being a nazi like I've heard other trans people mention, but it was being homophobic because I was taught to be. Did think that trans people should be allowed to be gay-married, though, and thanks to the power of critical thinking with a thought expirement, understood when I was 13 or 14 that it wasn't a choice to be gay or not. Don't want to get into it.
