I know who the anti-willo anon is.
I’m already dreading how long this post is going to take to write. Gonna try to do as much as I can before I have to board my plane. But after this, it will all finally be over. 7 months of harassment, 217 days to be exact, finally blamed. After collecting data for five months, I can finally, finally prove it beyond a shadow of a doubt.
Much will be claimed in this post that I do not currently have the energy to find the primary source to substantiate. Maybe tomorrow or the next day. If you’re unsure about any piece of evidence, ask anyone who’s been active in #syscourse in the last half year and I’m certain they’ll confirm they witnessed it.
So yes I’m sorry this is going to be extremely long and unpolished, I’m literally writing one draft of this, somewhat streamofconsciousnessy and yeah just some of the first things that come to my mind in the order they come to my mind, and then I'm sending it off to explode everything. My condolences.
Part 1: Radendo
So those of you who already know what this blog is may be wondering, “Did you just use your faulty little program to decide who to blame for months of bullshit?”. The answer is no. That would be very stupid. You can’t know who’s sending anons. Many, many of them were very obvious, but even the possibility of other actors would pollute the dataset too much, and that possibility has already been confirmed on multiple occasions.
I think it’s better if we work backward. So let’s start with the first clue: “radendo”.
This word never existed in English until mid-April, when it was first sent in an anonymous ask to @okiimii. And then to everyone in this god forsaken Tumblr tag #syscourse. I’m sure everyone who was active then remembers this well.
Except that’s not entirely true. It was used precisely once before then. A coining, if you will. Budget screenshot drowning because I’m not on mobile.
I would like to make it clear that I have nothing against @starstruck-sillies or @celesystiasys. It was just a one-off linguistic game that probably a one-digit number of people saw and then forgot about.
One of those people was the root poster, who I cropped out for dramatic effect.
Here’s the full screenshot.
@lion-queen.
For those who weren’t active in April, @lion-queen was a bait blog that interacted with as many posts as possible, roleplaying as a psycological brick wall. They claimed to be anti-endo, but had a unique quirk. Unlike all other anti-endos on this website, they believed that there could be valid systems that are traumagenic without having a CDD. They also made a particularly big stink about created systems. Please keep this in mind as we move forward.
Only 11 days after @celesystiasys’s radendo post, @sandstorms-syscourse deleted the @lion-queen blog and confessed to and apologized for running it (prompted by nothing in particular but the goodness of their conscience, surely) and promised never to do anything like that ever again.
A few days before that, a blog had popped up talking about how horrible “radendos” were. This blog was @pro-endo-dino. According to them, a “radendo” was a pro-endo who supports created systems. They claimed to have absolutely nothing to do with the anons in everyone’s inboxes, and that “radendo” had existed as a term since 2019. They faked Discord screenshots to prove this, and were caught for an anachronistic use of “radqueer”, which was coined in 2021. The anons and @pro-endo-dino continued for several weeks.
Now at this point, one could make the argument that it could be a separate person. There are some minor things here, like @lion-queen and @pro-endo-dino having somewhat similar intro posts (“this character from decades-old media is literally me” -> discourse stances -> mental illnesses), but come on, @sandstorms-syscourse super duper promised never to do anything like that again!
So anyway, among a flurry of alt blogs talking about “radendos” that all claimed not to have anything to do with each other (skipping over @unprofessional-shapeshifter) came @radendocringe. That one was part of a batch of 3 blogs that lasted less than 48 hours, but thanks to Tumblr’s beautiful eternal reblogging, we have this crucial post.
Ah... 3 weeks... what innocent times.
Thanks @casscourse, now we have the radendo person who is very obviously @pro-endo-dino beautifully framed confirming that they definitely saw that coining post. “radendo” and “endoqueer” both in the same screenshot. Excellent.
So this drastically reduces our potential candidates. And another thing is that @pro-endo-dino went on to talk about other origins. Yes, their main nitpick was with created systems, but any origin that didn’t have to do with some level of stress was a dangerous invader. Protogenic, spontaneous, didn’t matter.
Astute observers may note, and indeed a few have noted (without completely connecting the dots), that this is the same extremely unusual discourse stance as @lion-queen, just repackaged. @lion-queen folded stress-origin plurality into traumagenic, while @pro-endo-dino calls it endogenic, and indeed the only valid type of endogenic system (more on that later), but in terms of which systems they consider valid, they’re identical.
So, quite a suspicious chain from @radendocringe to @pro-endo-dino to @lion-queen to @sandstorms-syscourse to @driaderg (the main account behind @sandstorms-syscourse), but certainly not conclusive.
I’ve got plenty more hard evidence, but I’d like to take a moment to acknowledge the prediction of the main purpose of this blog, @teru-byte.
The front-end’s gotten all messed up since I made some optimizations yesternight and I don’t feel like fixing it right now and I’m definitely not revealing the back-end, so what I will say (and yes you will just have to take my word for it, sorry) is that @teru-byte the sockpuppet detector thinks there’s definitely a connection between @sandstorms-syscourse and @pro-endo-dino, about a 47% linguistic fingerprint match which is remarkably high compared to other pairs. Percentages in the 40s is usually what I see for publicly known sideblogs. A slightly closer connection is @sandstorms-syscourse and @princess-auklet, another alter in the same system (this is public knowledge). More interestingly, @lion-queen and @pro-endo-dino are slightly closer to each other than any of driaderg’s system, after which there is a steep drop-off. So it would seem that @driaderg has a consistent “troll voice” even when playing different characters.
Anyway. Where was I? Right, @driaderg. Well, this was not the first time that @driaderg had admitted to doing anti-created systems trolling.
Part 2: My Alter Did It
“almost all of it”. More on that in a moment.
I’m not going to get into the specifics of the January arc and in general I’m going to just scratch the surface of stuff going forward because otherwise I have no hope of finishing this. You remember if you were there.
So, basically, bunch of people got anons bashing created systems. This was the first wave of mass harassment, though it was relatively short compared to the endless tidal wave we’ve had to deal with for the past 4.5 months. Notable events include the anon claiming to be a medical professional and trying to pin the blame for the anons on @luckyclovercollective.
Now for that “almost”. What wasn’t included?
Ah yes, the most eggregious ones. Of course. Full responsibility and pathetical groveling for most of it, but anything that could connect them back to the other anti-created systems person...
Ok, I’ve beat around the bush long enough. It’s time to address the elephant in the room.
@translucent-system.
Sorry for jumping around the timeline so haphazardly. A few days after @sandstorms-syscourse’s confession, @pearlite-blues put the pieces together and was the first to publicly accuse @driaderg of being the “pro-endo anti-created” blog haunting the tags, @translucent-system.
I don’t think all of their points were bangers, but some highlights were:
@translucent-system and @princess-auklet being seemingly the only people ever to use the phrase “nothing is impossible with systems”
identical signoffs (bullet points like i'm doing now)
very uncreative alter name selections that gave away participation in certain fandoms
Now with my gargantuan 700MB dataset, I can now surpass Tumblr search and confirm that no other user ever said “nothing is impossible with systems” aside from @translucent-system and @princess-auklet (@driaderg).
One thing I would like to point out is that the all-lowercase transid thing was a dud. @driaderg’s blogs regularly used both capitalizations so the point is moot.
But even though they were wrong about which word, paying attention to idiosyncratic capitalization will bring us another silver bullet.
I would like to make it clear here that I hate @sophieinwonderland. When I started this project far too long ago, I genuinely wanted to find some other bread crumb trail leading to someone else, maybe even @sophieinwonderland herself. I hate that this post is going to give her a win and crazy levels of smugness rights during her freefall. But it is what it is.
Anyway. The magic word.
TransPlural
“nothing is impossible with systems” is memetic. On its own I would feel comfortable ignoring it because as sus as a repeated 5-word phrase seems in the abstract, this is something that I think could easily be repeated. Similar to something like “silly guys in my head”
TransPlural is not that. Who the fuck capitalizes words like that? (Well, a Warrior Cats fan, that’s who.) This is anti-memetic.
Out of over 650 blogs (basically everyone who’s interacted with syscourse in any capacity in the last year), only 5 have ever used “TransPlural” with that capitalization:
@sandstorms-syscourse
@princess-auklet
the REAL elephant in the room, @system-facts
@prettypog-imust-say (only 1 instance, was quoting @system-facts)
@teru-byte-dev, just now
I have intentionally avoided bringing up @system-facts until now due to the fact that their blog claimed suicide shortly before deletion and there are a lot of strong emotions surrounding that. However, with all of this evidence piling up, I hope I have depoisoned the well enough to make it obvious that there is only one person who could possibly be behind all of this. There is no universe where radendo, endoqueer, TransPlural, and “nothing is impossible with systems” all recurring together is a fluke. It has to have been @driaderg, ever since December.
But ok, if we were to be delusional levels of “charitable” here, one could argue that the evil evil super evil mastermind @translucent-system planted these seeds in a big brain move that they would somehow be found. And to that I say: why hasn’t @driaderg been directly accused/admitted to being the anti-willo troll? They clearly love the strategy. @system-facts tried to send blame and hate to @princessofendos. Totally Not Lotus accused @luckyclovercollective. And now just recently, “anti willo anon” has dropped into @luckyclovercollective’s partner @sky-forest-inn’s inbox (innbox heha) to accuse them of... being @system-facts!!
And wow would you look at that, @sky-forest-inn just happened to be one of @driaderg’s recent publicly admitted targets!
This is Big Apology #3 within 6 months, by the way. At a certain point, and I would say that point is at #3, the apologies are bullshit, it’s clearly a pattern of behavior that will not soon change, and anyone familiar with internet drama knows that when someone repeatedly makes a big show of being super sorry and revealing everything multiple times within a relatively short time span, they’re definitely absolutely still hiding shit that will have to be forcefully pried from their disgusting slimy hands.
If it was a fluke, @driaderg should’ve been an easy target. They already had the biggest system blog on Tumblr on this hypothetically innocent person, imagine how much hate could get sent if they timed a fake apology post just right! But no, they didn’t do that, because it’s the same phucking person.
I’m still far from done and it’s already so blindingly obvious oh my GOD how has the majority stayed on driaderg’s side for this long
Part 3: Bounce Forward
Ok, so we’ve hit the origin point of @system-facts, we now have the full context (maybe I don’t know I’m aware how scattered this all is, I’m probably skipping over important context for those not in the know, but this is really for those who are in the know so they can fill in the gaps), what other missing pieces are there.
Mostly tidbits I guess. Did you know that every single anti-created blog ever has used “directional quotes”? The kind I’m using now, that look different depending on if they’re at the “beginning of a word, or at the end”. On some devices they display as curly, others as slanted, but what they definitely aren’t is straight vertical. I’m not sure why keyboards are different about this or what causes it, but based on my analysis, only 25% of blogs use directional quotes instead of simple quotes. So whatever you had for the probability of all of this stuff with @driaderg being a fluke, divide that by another 4. 16, if you want to pretend that there was a single point in time ever where it even seemed likely that @system-facts was an actual independent person. Or is being anti-created correlary with having a keyboard that types directional quotes?
And there was The Spreadsheet that showed @driaderg and @pro-endo-dino posted at similar times. Honestly not sure if that was actually enough data to be conclusive, but that’s already where the mountain of evidence is pointing, so fuck it! It also is likely what prompted @driaderg to admit to the smaller crime of running @lion-queen, presumably in an attempt to save face. The blog was deleted, maybe to intentionally try to hide the evidence, but unfortunately this is the worst website to try to do that on.
Speaking of getting back to that connection, let’s talk about this ask. Maybe could’ve led with this as it’s quite strong evidence. I am so sorry for how much of a disaster this post is from a writing perspective. I really can’t put more energy into this because thinking about this for this long makes my blood boil. One draft takes long enough.
So if you remember from the beginning of this ungodily long post, we know for certain that this is a lie! @driaderg was one of the very few people to hear about radendo before this, they received a direct notification! Great to catch @driaderg in something so blatant, because accusing them of being all of these blogs necessitates the claim that they are a habitual liar. Honestly, admitting to running @lion-queen was definitely their biggest mistake. That was the start of this whole chain reaction. Though, it’s a shame that this lie wasn’t caught immediately upon the admission. Would’ve been a great followup to The Spreadsheet.
Anyway, let’s once again imagine the completely unrealistic scenario in which @driaderg is innocent of everything they haven’t admitted to. Imagine you are a struggling system who has been accused of, among other things, faking a suicide on a “pro-endo” anti-created blog. A new pro-endo anti-created blog pops up. What would you do?
Option A: Engage with it, associating yourself with what you know is a ticking time bomb that could lead to even more hate
Option B: Stay a million billion miles the fuck away
Obviously, an innocent @driaderg would choose Option B. But driaderg is not innocent, and we know that because of the CONTENT OF THE ASK. It’s obvious why this ask was sent.
Part 4: oaiw4htgjndgfkj
All of that speedran and yet I guarantee there’s still more evidence I haven’t thought of. More sources maybe coming in a few days, but everyone who would be enough in the know to care knows that all of the baseline facts I’ve stated are true because they witnessed them firsthand.
If you spent time out of your finite life defending @driaderg, good fucking luck justifying that to anyone on the outside of this. “Oh how could I have known that the person who had previously admitted to sending dozens of anti-willo anons and running an anti-willo bait blog for weeks was the person who was sending the anti-willo anons and running anti-willo bait blogs?”
Now for more speculation time, since there are no consequences on the internet ( ͡ ͜ʖ ͡ )
I don’t think there are multiple committed anti-willos. I think a few anti-endos may have briefly joined here and there, but I believe that at least 95% of those posts made in the last 217 days were written by driaderg. I simply don’t think it’s possible for two people to be this insane and not eat each other alive much sooner than that. Especially with the recent @sophiesopposite “Mod B” bringing up Sophie’s “suicide denial” with seemingly no prompting, it doesn’t make sense for a different person to hold that grudge and be as persistent as “Mod A”. They are at best two different alters in the same system.
I also think the Discord server leak was fake. Remember, the only thing that gave away the radendo screenshots was the anachronism of radqueer. This server leak had all of the same suspicious elements, but people ate it up like candy because it fit what they wanted to believe or whatever. That some of the anons were being abusively forced? idk. Anyway, that was just one attempt of many to trick people into thinking there are multiple people behind this. There weren’t and there aren’t. They tried many ways to get people to believe there was a group of operatives here to seem more threatening, some more successful than others, I am not buying any of it. I am pushing my poker chips all in on this entire 217-day operation being entirely the doing of driaderg.
Here’s every major blog that I think driaderg was behind in the last 7 months:
@driaderg
@princess-auklet
@sandstorms-syscourse
@system-facts
@translucent-system
@pro-endo-dino
@unprofessional-shapeshifter
@fuckradendos
@radendocringe
@radendo-blocklist
@pro-endo-miku
@sophiesopposite
probably more i'm forgetting
Even if I'm wrong about my ultimate bet on singularlity, and that is the one thing I think is reasonable for the readers to disagree on, there's no possible doubt
So @driaderg, since I know you're reading this because I know you've been much more online than you let on, I don't want an apology. If you were Pinnochio, your nose would be long enough to be a metereological device by now. No one would be fucking stupid enough to believe a 4th Big Apology. It would be forced and insincere, the two worst things for an apology to be.
I want answers. I want to know why you did all of this.
I want to know why you hate created systems so much.
I want to know why you spent so much time on this.
I want to know why you were so stubborn about the bait, only bothering to switch out a word or two every several weeks.
I want to know why you hate @okiimii so much.
TLDR/Summary
Everything that would have to be a coincidence for driaderg to be innocent of what I’ve accused:
@lion-queen (confirmed @driaderg) and @pro-endo-dino having the same ideology is a coincidence
“radendo” being coined in a reply to @lion-queen (confirmed @driaderg) shortly before it was adopted by @pro-endo-dino is a coincidence
“endoqueer” being coined in a reply to @lion-queen (confirmed @driaderg) shortly before it was adopted by @radendocringe is a coincidence
“nothing is impossible with systems” being used by @princess-auklet and @translucent-system and no one else ever anywhere on the internet is a coincidence
“TransPlural” being used by @princess-auklet AND @sandstorms-syscourse, and then also @system-facts, and no one else ever, is a coincidence
@driaderg conveniently forgot about radendo and thought it was a good idea to be one of the first and only people to unanonymously engage amicably with @pro-endo-dino
@sky-forest-inn out of everyone who could’ve possibly been targeted, including @driaderg themselves, being accused of being @system-facts shortly after @driaderg had already harassed them for weeks is a coincidence
@driaderg and @pro-endo-dino having similar posting schedules is a coincidence
@teru-byte has absolutely no merit and it just happened to identify linguistic similarities*
more I’m not remembering right now, for sure. I may have even forgotten a point I brought up in this very post
*ah shit i was supposed to post the author comparison chart before all of this. yeah i did a whole thing where i compiled books from a bunch of famous authors as a test for teru-byte but forgot to do the last 5% of making it look decent enough to post before writing this monstrosity. sorry i promise that’ll get beautifully substantiated sometime within the next week. have a whole graph and everything
Well, that’s all I have externally pressured time for, and all I have internally pressured health to deal with. There are so so many gaps that will need to be filled in later, but for now I’m going offline for at least several hours and will be back later to engage with the ensuing pandemonium.
Now explode
