trigger warnings: stalking, manipulation, ableism, harassment, gaslighting, abusive behavior, kink mention
After much deliberation, I have decided that I can no longer stay silent within the community about what is going on around me. Nitro (gamblewave/deceitdelt/poisoniumz) has been spreading lies and rumors about many people, claiming that they’ve been sending her anon hate and harassing her when she is the one who has been stalking people. Multiple uninvolved third parties have DM’ed me (who I refuse to name for privacy reasons) that multiple people had 1) been unfollowing and blocking for similar behavior, and 2) that she had been spreading rumors to her friends with serious accusations, accusing them of sending anon hate and claiming that they stalk her when no such thing is happening. You can view testimonials to the stalking and harassment here and here.
After looking further into the situation however, it was discovered that there is a far more serious concern going on; not only has Nitro been stalking these people to the point of legitimate obsession, but has also been pressuring an autistic person on disability payments to buy commissions from her while not delivering any of them. It has been since October of last year at least that this started, and only one out of over seven commissions has been completed, despite Nitro putting out several adopts and other commissions throughout this time. I do not have a total number, but she has scammed this user out of 427 dollars MINIMUM; said user is finding more and more commissions every time they look through their DMs, and is unable to continue reading through them for personal reasons. She pressured this user to spend more and more money on commissions she never finished while they were grieving, raising prices randomly throughout the process. She has yet to refund this user fully, only delivering 70 dollars and an adoptable character to help even out the costs. Receipts can be found here.
My apologies to everyone for bringing this to public attention, but enough people have contacted me about my leaving that I feel the need to make some sort of statement. There have been multiple attempts made to resolve this privately, and none of them have worked. Nitro has put multiple users on tumblr through legitimate medical concerns throughout all of this (one has been having seizures from stress, the other has a condition in which stress can quite literally kill them.) People’s health are at risk because of Nitro’s actions.
I can only hope that this serves as a wake up call rather than a callout. I do not want to bring drama to the community, but something has to be about Nitro’s manipulative behavior. Our messages are open for questions.
