This is going to be a long one. This is my main blog and I don't know how to change this to a side blog using my handle. I'm Wicker and a check of my account can show you that.
I get brought up often with Beau and Foolbloom for some reason so I just reached out to this blog and that snow white one since you both are the only people around princessfurs I've ever seen say Beau didn't deserve the racism.
but thank you for allowing me to speak! From what I know, I only knew the minor in question at an extreme arms length and helped them file a few reports after the situation they had with Mord and then Miorjah tagging them in porn. I'm a survivor of CSA and it really does get to me seeing someone sexually harassed, especially a minor for tracing. Beau wasn't involved in that. They cut contact a long while before that came to light.
One thing that came up often with the minor was figuring out what was truth and what was lies. I don't mean with the situation with Ryter. If they are hurt I believe them. I only bring it up as an example of embellishing and half truths. But that's not my story.
I know that Beau contacted the proper authorities when the grooming allegation came up. They have to because of the laws in their state. I did as well. I didn't even know Ryter beyond him being a friend of a friend and I cut all contact with him. He has interacted with me like purchasing an adopt or two and I have returned fire on AF. I'm not going to hide that and I don't try to. I know what he did was fucked up and wrong and I let him know that personally. I do think people can change for the better and I can say with absolute confidence that he is not around minors or a danger to anyone.
I know some of the twitter anons demanded we hold him accountable and that's why he's off social media and has been since the incident. I don't know how else to do that outside of the ways I already have. There was additions added to his callout saying he was still engaging with minors but it was fandom reblogs and idk. I personally don't check everything I reblog and especially not fanart. It was frustrating to learn that this was being dragged out and the minor was still involved with dangerous adults.
My word doesn't mean much but Beau, Tuli, and myself all wish we had known sooner and regret not being able to step in. As I said I didn't know the minor or Ryter well. Tuli had already distanced themself from the minor.
Which I should also mention the nintendo switch thing. Tuli only ever held onto the money for the switch that the minor earned through commissions and sales of designs. They had been asked to hold it since the minor had a hole in their pocket and it was never a gift from Tuli. I was told it was a group effort of crowdfunding for it. I donated to it when it was mentioned.
The reason many of us didn't go public with anything was because we didn't want to cause more pain and not drag the situation out. I really didn't have anything to say or that I could say in public. It wasn't my circus or my horses. The minor did contact me via an anon email and I told them I thought the adults they were around were equally dangerous. They had contacted me to defend MothicDreams aka Zori who I had said was weird around minors. They were the one with the piss kink. I had told them to stop listing their age as 22 online as well since this is a pattern of behavior.
I do apologize for the long winded explanation. There is a lot of threads and not a real easy way to fit them together. I genuinely think a lot of the public outrage was meant to be some sort of comeback for Beau and Tuli for saying what Mord did was wrong and then the whole tagging the minor in porn thing. It was at the time handwaved because Miorjah said they were autistic and lacked boundaries/didn't know it was wrong.
The final thing I need to add is that during the entire situation with the minor. Tuli was dealing with their dad dying. They couldn't be online or around much. The adults that stuck around the minor were aware of that as they were friends of Tuli's but never my friend. Tbh I don't know why I am mentioned so much outside of being friends with Beau and Tuli. Since that point my friends have been sexually harassed with my art. Myself and Beau have experienced a lot of racism. I am a survivor of CSA and being stalked in person for nearly a decade prior to being 21. Being stalked and harassed with bad faith takes is tiring, stressful and tbh I really would just prefer if people blocked me and moved passed this.
Do what I do and forget people exist. Your life will be so much better when you ignore people that try to hurt you.
Thank you mod for the place to speak and thank you to anyone taking the time to read this. I just don't want to deal with the harassment and stalking anymore without saying something.
Thank you for sending this ask in. I will be posting without commentary as while I personally do not want to engage with this situation out of fear of it coming back to hurt the victim I do think this is valuable information that should be shared.
I have received a lot of asks about this situation and I think I should make my stance clear. I will not be posting anything about it that does not include any new information. Many blogs before me have shared the situation with Ryter and while I believe it is important to be aware of it I also believe there is nothing more to be gained from rehashing the same situation again and again. Not at risk of dragging the victim back into drama.
