Admitting my wrongdoings regarding the hhgregg community. (CW: harassment, SH mentions, depression mentions, and suicide baiting)
DO NOT HARASS ANYONE MENTIONED IN THIS. I DO NOT WISH TO CAUSE ANY MORE HARM.
I'm sure you all know that at some point, I was part of the hhgregg community. But I stopped posting about it after some time.
So what exactly happened?
[Forgot what pronouns that Luna uses and I currently don't know, so I'll be using they/them to refer to them throughout the post.]
[Some stuff may not be described correctly, as many of Luna's posts about the situation were deleted and my memory of it is quite fuzzy.]

So a while back, Luna (known as hhgreggtism at the time) found a lead to the 2010 President's Day Sale ad. They were allegedly gatekeeping it.
I wanted in on the secret, so I did something very selfish— I silently broke my friendship with Yurii and only told Luna that.
This, of course, caused an uproar (part of it being Yurii sending uncensored cuts to Luna), to which I sided with Luna. Yurii and NegaPosi (known by different names across various other platforms) were rightfully mad at me, and I impulsively lashed out at them, further damaging my relationship with them.
Some rumors about Luna were apparently going around. Yurii also had some rumors about her.
To this day, I don't even know if they were true. Hell, I can't really remember what exactly they WERE.
Anyways...
Even after the situation had settled down, I continued to harass Yurii and NegaPosi.
When the latter made a vent post depicting one of her sonas cutting herself, I did something stupid— I said some really nasty shit to her in this exact wording...
"...oh boy.
I'm surprised someone older than me hasn't grown up."
(Keep in mind: she may have been [and still is] in her 20s while I was under 18 at the time of saying that [and I still am as of making this post explaining the whole thing], but I had absolutely no right to say that to her— that was fucking vile.)
Later on, I tried to apologize to Yurii. At the time, she accepted it, but I don't actually know if we're on good terms. (And if not, I don't blame her.)
Then, I forwarded the post and responses to NegaPosi. She declined the apology, and honestly, I don't blame her for that.
(Dishonorable mention: the reply from June 11th on the DeviantArt screenshot that was written and sent at a point where I was dealing with severe depression with the situation being the biggest factor of it. I had no right to pull that either.)
And the stuff pictured in my DeviantArt comment (Caroline refers to amnesiastudi0s, a pedophile who groomed Yurii + stalked Yurii and I):

At least after that point, I stopped posting about hhgregg.

Gathering all this and reflecting on it again, I regret starting this whole mess. I know that no amount of saying "I'm sorry" can fix what I did. I've shifted the blame too many times, and for that, I feel beyond disgusted. For a while, I've wanted to say that all of us that were involved were at fault, but I know that's FAR from the truth. I'll do anything that I can to own up to this if need be, but right now, this is all I can do.
This might be weak, but I just thought I'd finally post about this in a bit more detail and get this off my chest. Peace.
Today, I sent an anonymous ask to someone if I could use their OC for an AU where they are shipped with one of my characters and the two characters have a child. (I won't say who I sent it to for personal reasons.)
That is gross behavior. I knew that it could've violated their boundaries, but I sent it anyway.
After that, I regretted it. A lot. They haven't responded as of now, but if they do, I am sorry for making them uncomfortable.
An important thing that I forgot to mention in my apology...
CW: bigotry, pedophilia joke (I don't support either of those), ban evading
I also made weird comments on the Shovelware Studios Discord, like a concept for a bigoted character (against the rules), as well as making a comment under a screenshot of Peel dancing with his hand clipping through YFH (the comment was in a suggestive tone, Peel is a child and YFH is an adult).
I have photo evidence, and I can confirm that it's true because I got banned from the SWS Discord and even tried ban evading. I also got banned from the Care Bears discord from the same actions.
Again, I am sorry for what I did and how I've behaved.
I have also privated Chai AI bots featuring Director Warrant. These were also made without the consent of her creator. I should've probably deleted them as well, but I wasn't fully sure.
