A bit of backstory for those that missed the full picture. On March 22nd, a cloti/rokushi shipper crosstagged a hateful post about clerith shippers into the clerith tag (which has since been deleted).
A few Clerith shippers began to respond to this person and eventually, a sideblog called @kingdomhearts322 popped up and started posting disgusting comments about clerith shippers. It was discovered that @kaairi followed this @kingdomhearts322 blog (proving it was them that owned the account).
Shortly after this altercation, the user raiitoninggu made a post that was also crosstagged into the clerith searches and a lot of clerith shippers weren’t happy with it because it was saying clerith shippers are hypocrites for calling kaairi a rabid because we allegedly act exactly the same (they later claimed this was about both sides, and yet it only was created after clerith fans started to defend themselves). A few cleriths said that cleriths haven’t been behaving badly, and this person insisted that they have without providing any proof. So I asked them to show these “bad” clerith shippers and they couldn’t. The conversation ended.
April 7th rolls around and a blog claiming to be a foreign clerith shipper by the name of @clerithtown pops up into the tags. This user stole and uploaded four clerith fanarts that didn’t belong to them and crosstagged them into the cloti/zerith tags/searches for absolutely no reason at all. Here’s the posts:

Despite multiple clerith shippers talking to them, this person refuses to acknowledge anyone but still has time to write posts like this:
The fake “I-don’t-know-English” is almost so cringry it hurts and it inspired me to take a look at who was interacting with this new blog and I discovered that this blog didn’t follow astoryofalove or any of the other cleriths they had been reblogging from. But also that this user:
by the name of @haikiyuu (who says this blog is now inactive) had liked this particular post before anyone else. What makes this strange is that a quick look at this person’s archive shows us that they don’t -ever- reblog FF content, let alone clerith (their blog is all black and white manga images). In their description is a link to their personal twitter: https://twitter.com/infirmaries which coincidentally has my cloudxaerith account blocked (I don’t recognize their name, either so I doubt it’s because I interacted with them). An anon even told me that this haikiyuu user even once commented on @dansantcaparet‘s clerith post saying a Dismantled quote was his “shitty poetry”
Clearly this user has anti-clerith tendencies so why did this haikiyuu person randomly like clerithtown’s stolen clerith art that was being crosstagged?
I believe that either (or both) kaairi and haikiyuu are behind this new clerithtown account.
And the reason I’m writing all of this out is so that future people don’t actually blame the clerith fandom for what clerithtown is doing. They’re not a real clerith and they’re doing all of this just to make cleriths look rabid (guess they can’t find any real ones).
I advice all cleriths to BLOCK this user and report them.
To any CT shippers, get a hold of your fandom. Put a leash on the rabids. We keep our fandom in check, now you guys keep your community in check, too.
