no we wont! please post the recovering kindred flag, I would like it as well as an ex-proshipper qwq
im glad you've gotten better!! and since I didn’t get any negativity besides one odd anon here goes C:
(the reasoning behind the symbols are kind of personal, but can be reinterpreted in any way ^_^)
its not really that impressive but it means a lot to me :] the butterfly i used mostly for acknowledgement that i have a history of struggling with such thoughts but i am changing/have changed and am able to better ignore these thoughts. kind of like how a caterpillar grows and changes to become a butterfly (a reach sort of but. im not good with metaphors) and the hand one is a little obvious it’s meant to be a finger wagging cause its meant to be the opposite of indulging in these thoughts (mostly because I personally found it didn’t help us)
I will preface this with a simple reminder - Do not harass anyone mentioned in this post, including Streber himself. Even though they've done terrible things, harassment does nothing for anyone and only makes them look like victims. Block and move on. Do not give them a support system.
If you are active in the Sparklecare/Freakycare fandom, you have likely heard of the user Despaircoughs, or Streber, at least once. He is known for drawing fanart, AUs, and having "previously" been friends with Getty Better supporters. For a while now, Streber has begun to claim that he has distanced himself from the predators he was previously in contact with and has changed to be a better person. This is far from the truth. Since first becoming active in the fandom, Streber has done the following:
★ 1: Became friends with predators, their supporters, and people who hold neonazi beliefs.
★ 2: Lied to the public fandom about cutting these people off, only to stay in contact with them in private.
★ 3: Defended someone who has liked posts listing ways to get onto real life abuse sites.
★ 4: Made up false grooming claims against his transfem ex, who is both younger than him and was cheated on repeatedly during their relationship.
I will go into detail and list evidence for each of these claims below.
Document on Getty Better - Info on ChimeraCreations
Section one - Association with predators and their supporters (and lying about said friends)
Again, despite claiming otherwise publicly, Streber never cut off contact with multiple freakycare fans. This may not sound like as much of a problem compared to the other things he's done, but his friends are not just regular darkshippers. The people he is in contact with have specified they support Getty (a groomer) and his surrounding group of predators. Multiple of them are people you may recognize.
His server titled "Freaky of carers (and Streber)" is where he has stayed in contact with these people.
I will list the people here the best I can.
Caroline - Unknown.
Crash - A dangerous predator, the person who was caught liking posts listing how to get onto abuse sites. More on him shortly.
Neon - A sparklecare artist, also known as Dolly. Known for kindercare.
Sarah/Angel - A lurker in freakycare spaces. Also an ex of Scarlet, who Streber has been accusing of grooming. Friend of Satanicpaws, a neonazi groomer (she is aware of what he has done).
Devon - Strebers partner/friend. One of the people Streber has cheated on Scarlet with.
Diamondpawpads - The person who has generously supplied evidence for this post.
Sebastian - Freakycare fan, radqueer coiner. As far as anyone is aware they support Getty Better.
Now, we will get into the problems with Crash, or Crashingondooma.
Section two - Defending someone liking posts about abuse websites.
I have already previously made a post about Crash, which you can find right here. In short, Crash is someone who used to be in the freakycare fandom. He has since lost his tumblr account and is no longer interacting with the space on this website. However, while he was here, he repeatedly reblogged pro contact posts for harmful paraphilias, made his support for people like Getty and Chimeracreations clear, and liked posts listing how to get onto sites containing real abuse material. When confronted with this, Crash claimed that it was because he had an auto scroll extension and liked things without reading them. This is not only a horrible excuse, but it also does not hold up when you take into account he was also reblogging these things. Streber has defended this.
Section Three - False grooming claims.
Streber was previously in a relationship with Scarlet, a transfem user who is a couple of months younger than he is. Their relationship began when the two of them were both 16 years of age. During the relationship, Streber cheated on Scarlet with an entire group of people. Now, he has begun to claim that Scarlet "Groomed" him, which is not the case whatsoever. Angel, Scarlets other ex, supports and defends these claims despite there being zero proof of them.
These false claims have led to targeted harassment reaching Scarlet, specifically made to trigger dysphoria and attack her for being trans and mentally ill. For further information on this, I suggest looking into Scarlets own post which is linked right here. In this post there is proof that Scarlet repeatedly asked Streber for reassurance that it was not doing anything wrong, and was always told by him that everything was alright. Regardless of whether Streber was made uncomfortable by ANYTHING during the relationship, it was his duty to say so, and Scarlet made it clear she would be accepting of anything he had to say. No grooming happened in the relationship.
Special thank you to user diamondpawpads for supplying the evidence used to make this post. Your contributions are greatly appreciated. I hope Streber and his friends will no longer have any place in this fandom and his lies will no longer be believed.
do u think i could still selfship or kin howie? i really love him and feel like him but i feel like Getty said something abt him specifically so I just wanted to ask other freakycarers their thoughts
Yes Getty has mentioned his discomfort with it, and personally, I wish to respect that. I cant control others, but since I support Getty, I’d rather respect his boundaries. Thats just me though! Anyone can feel free to discuss in the replies as well! -❄️💕
