I can only assume the original post was deleted and it seems as though I have subsequently been blocked, (my original response has been embedded below for context). I'm not surprised and quite frankly, rather disappointed, but from what I've heard about the backlash, I'd like to hope this means the matter is put to bed and lessons were learnt.
In doing so, I want to stress that any harassment against the original poster should NOT be tolerated.
The point of calling it out was to recognise that this kind of rhetoric was bullying and insulting. Whether it was intentional or not. Especially when you directly single one person out.
Using the personal experiences of an artist to try and justify contentious fan discourse is also incredibly narrow-minded and very dismissive of the blog post's original purpose.
Let's not stoop to this behaviour. Set an example and rise above it. Be mindful of how you interact and think before you speak. Social media is not a empty void where what we say does no damage or has no consequences. If you treat it like one, you learn the hard way by the boat load. We all have a responsibility with our platforms.
If the OP does somehow find this post - You are a very talented artist and creative and wish you well in all your endeavours. Genuinely. It saddens me that this is our first interaction, but I also hope you will grow from this. I took the post very personally. Both as a former crew member of SMG4 and also as a close friend of Starteas. It was unwarranted. I hope if our paths cross again it will be on better terms.
All of you have a good one. Look out for each other!

I've been struggling with depression due to my living situation which means I've been having a hard time getting outside. But something has very recently occurred that has made me leave the house more and more frequently.
My neighbors have a bunch of outdoor cats that frequent our backyard from time to time and ever since I had one friendly interaction with the grey tabby more and more keep appearing. My partner suspects the colony in our neighborhood deemed my place as a safe spot.
As for how this connects to why I've been out so often; Occasionally Raccoons will get into our trash and leave garbage strewn about. Some of which being plastic bags that could be a choking hazard for these cats. None of these cats belong to me, but ensuring their safety in our backyard is extremely important to me now. Especially if they're going to keep showing up.
They're very friendly (as shy as some of them are) and I hope they're well taken care of at home.
Now that reblogs on my Emergency Commissions post have started up again, I want to take this time to make my boundaries clear. I do not want anyone to speculate who I may be talking about. I do not care to start witchhunts.
I will be blocking accounts I see who are proship. I do not want to be associated or working for users that post or discuss triggering content relating to incest, self harm, sexual abuse, zoophilia, pedophilia, ect. I want no part of it.
