Since you reblogged my friend's old post, I'm gonna put my experience in the ring. Forgive me, my memory is a bit fuzzy on very fine details and dates, but I remember what he has done to me specifically.
Hi there, I'm Flaaffy. I was a "victim" of Eddie's harassment(I put it in quotes because it doesn't compare to the shit I've seen on this blog.
Eddie has been a...particular character in past servers I was in for the Eddsworld fandom. We even had mutual respect for one another as creators in the same fandom, even shared DMs on discord.
What tipped me off as odd was that he put down people's headcanons for a character he kinned, claiming he wouldn't "do that", that he was the only one who had the accurate headcanons because who would know the character more? There was a case where he would post borderline fetish art in the server (in the G rated channel) and make innuendos with minors present. Another time my friend's now husband was showing us sign language with a gesture that involved rubbing his chest, and Eddie WOULD NOT stop talking about (the husband) touching his chest/nipples. Another time, Eddie snapped at this same friend for using the term "Mother tongue" to describe a fluent language(I also believe he claimed she wasn't actually Latina too in this same conversation because he was a REAL Latino)
Now back to my drama with him. When I made a woman oc for a ship fic, I shipped her with the character Eddie kinned with. When showing her, he was immediately dismissive, claiming he "doesn't date women". I believe after I made like chapter one of said fic, I went out of my way to Eddie to talk to him about my oc "dating him". And because I still respected him at that time, I said I would get rid of the oc and the fic for his comfort. He was appreciative of it.
When we (my friends and I) ousted Eddie from our servers and when I joined other servers, I did shit talk about Eddie, claiming he made/told me to delete my oc and fic. Which was wrong of me for only that instance, especially when it was brought up because others were having other "odd" run ins with him. That's the worst I've done to him. It was very immature of me and I apologize. Unbeknownst to me that there were people in these servers that were secretly friends with him and they were watching what I said about him, or other "damning" things I've said and informing him about it.
Then suddenly I was kicked from servers without warning/vague reasoning. Eddie, with others(mostly minors) were "coming out" that I was a threat to minors(pointing out my age many times since I'm usually the oldest in these groups), saying I was a "fandom mom", making claims from things that were out of context that I said. They were very much keen on saying I made minors uncomfortable (no one told me, warned me or anything) which, when pressed, I was never given an explanation and was told I was harassing for pressing. When I tried to explain that my autism made me act a certain way, that it was an explanation, not an excuse, Eddie and his "friends" were quick to shout that I was using my autism as an excuse (kinda rich, huh?) I very much believe they were insinuating that I was a pedophile or a groomer.
That, and several other, callout posts made me completely distraught because I was/still an a nobody creator/blogger. Eddie had the vocal part of the fandom supporting him and my "victims". He rallied all these kids/the gullible against me to make himself look better because all the adults knew he was talking shit. I have lost friends, people refused to hear me out about my side of the drama because they believed I would cause discourse in servers, I lost trust and grew bitter in a fandom that I thought was welcoming.
I still have mental scars from his and others attacks on me, constantly thinking I'm a threat in fandom spaces. I'm constantly over checking my boundaries many times because I'm afraid anything I say will be taken and ran with because someone didn't like me. I have cried many tears and gotten sick from this torment. These people have moved on from me, probably don't even remember me because I was a nobody but I always remembered. I will never forget crying on call with my friends, sleepless nights and even the terror working my job because I interacted with teens all because of him and his petty bullshit. Seeing his post about him being mentally ill and being attacked? There was no leniency for me and my illness when he and others attacked me. No, because I was the "dangerous adult" and Eddie was "keeping people safe".
All I feel is rage towards this man. But I've said what needed to be said now. I'm better now(kinda?) and he actually brought me closer to my friends. Though it's some little things that remind me of his existence and I'm brought to that dark and lonely place that he and the teens he manipulated put me in. I will never forgive him.
I'm so sorry to the poor victims that were affected by him and his partner. You guys didn't deserve the pain they caused to you. They pray on the vulnerable and never believe that what they did to you was your fault, no matter how either of them twist it.
Oh my god THANK YOU FOR REACHING OUT!!!
I was meant to reach out to the friend i reblogged from, but i chose not to cause i didnt wanna bother them with stuff that happened back in 2022 yk? Dont wanna stress out anyone MORE than they were already stressed out by Sean.
I hope you and your friends are doing better now!!! Honestly i think the shittalking you did about Eddie wasnt much at ALL. As a member of a system (osdd b-1) i get troubles with source separation, but him saying "no i wouldnt do that". Bitch its not about you @ eddie
BUT YEAH I HOPE YOURE DOING AWESOME NOW!!!
