⚠️ WARNING
There’s a person on Tumblr who has been reblogging posts from random artists and leaving unrelated comments, or sending DMs that have nothing to do with the artwork. Instead, they’re targeting another user (@oripoke), repeatedly tagging them and dragging unrelated people into their personal conflict. Some of these DMs reportedly contain real self-harm images sent to random artists.
This behavior has been going on for months and has become increasingly disturbing. The person behind it operates over 40+ accounts and keeps creating new ones to continue spamming others. We don’t know what this is really about—and frankly, we don’t want to. It’s upsetting, invasive, and unfair to innocent artists who keep getting caught in the crossfire.
Examples are below. Please stay alert and don’t engage. :/
UPD: There’s more context and explanation from Tumblr users in the comments/reblogs under this post. Look here too for more info > someone made a Carrd.
to any mutuals: if i've reblogged from you and you're now getting seemingly random spam/harassment, this is why. i have tried requesting that he not involve strangers in his personal shit, but that seems to have gone nowhere. i'm not really sure what else to do here. if you have been targeted, please check the carrd linked above: it is helpful as a blocklist and is still being updated. please stay safe and do not click any links he sends, as they often lead to distressing and gory content.
