OK. So. I didn’t reply to this yesterday, because it was Valentine’s Day and frankly, I wanted to spend it with my husband rather than on Tumblr. As everyone who knows me knows, I don’t tend to reply to private messages / DMs publicly – but I’m going to this time because I don’t trust the sender (or the people who sent them) not to twist my words and take them out of context.
This is the DM @almosinnia sent me just over 24 hours ago, possibly on behalf of their friend (and Discord server co-mod?) @dreamfall. I’m sure they think they’re asking nicely and being polite, but in my opinion this was NOT polite – and I apologise to my followers for putting my answer on your dashes.
First things first. If I were going to ask someone to delete a post rebutting the lies you and your friends are spreading about them in your Discord server, the first thing I’d fucking do is APOLOGISE for spreading those lies in the first place. I see no attempt to say “sorry” in your, quite frankly, arrogant and demanding message above.
Also, you claiming the post was “made a long time ago” is a lie. We’re not stupid. We can ALL see the timestamp of that Discord post with the blocklist is 20th January 2022 – THREE WEEKS AGO. That’s not “a long time ago” unless you’re a fucking foetus in the womb.
The only reason you and your friends care that I publicly exposed @dreamfall as the person spreading lies about us, is because I made you look bad. I understand Dreamfail is whining that this whole thing is “setting off their anxiety”. How selfish of Dreamfail, and you, to not think about the anxiety of the people you named on your blocklist – many of whom have had to re-live the trauma and anxiety of the false accusations your friends made back in 2020 when it’s fucking 2022. Some of the people on that list weren’t even involved in The Mess. And certainly one of the people you’ve accused of “shipping incest” doesn’t even have any incest ships.
Did you think about the feelings of the people you and/or Dreamfail were falsely making up lies about? Did you think about their trauma, their anxiety, their right to a safe space where they can create fanart and fanfic free from spiteful, lying bullies like yourself and your friends? No. You DIDN’T think about their feelings once. So why should I give a fuck about yours?
If @lustyargonianmaid wanted to delete her post after you asked her to, then that is up to her. However, I am not her – and I will do what I personally think is best. So telling me she deleted her post at your request has absolutely NO bearing on me, and I am incensed at your piss-poor attempt to manipulate me into doing what you want, especially as I know you have not asked anyone else to delete their reblogs of her post or my post. Furthermore, you and your friends were quite happy to harass her / vague-post on Tumblr about her for the “crime” of leaving your Discord server until she posted your blocklist from that server. You DO NOT CARE about “avoiding more targeting and harassment”. Don’t pretend that you do, because you and/or your friends were already harassing people before that blocklist was posted. You lot only care because your actions are unexpectedly blowing up in your faces.
In fact, one of the people on your blocklist told me they have already received anon hate from one of you. The only “damage control” you care about is any damage done to your reputation, as (presumably) a mod in that server, and @dreamfall’s. I am not aware of any anon hate that has been sent to your side, but given that you have sided with a bunch of people from The Mess who have long been rumoured to have sent themselves racist anon hate to garner sympathy when they were exposed for the jealous liars they were, all I can say is that anyone who HAS sent you anon hate is disgusting and should stop.
But here’s the thing. If ANY of you cared about “damage control”, you would not have made up a bunch of lies about people you don’t know and encouraged your server members to block them. Even your DM to me above implies that you only care about “damage control” to yourselves. You don’t care about “controlling damage” done to us. You don’t care about damaging us, even in 2022, because we dared to challenge serious lies people were accused of back in August 2020.
You say you’re “doing your best to fix this mess on our end too”. You have not made it clear how you are “fixing this mess”, but you and @dreamfall can start by publicly apologising for what you’ve done. And for the love of God, don’t fucking spread lies about people you don’t know ever again. Right now, you deserve everything you’re getting and I am sick of having to deal with people like you time and time again who only care about yourselves and not the people you hurt. Repeatedly.
Furthermore, I am not deleting my post. I think it’s ridiculous of you to single me out and ask ME to delete "to reduce the visibility of the original post” when my addition had already been reblogged by so many people before you sent me your message. Are you going to DM all 50 people who’ve reblogged it and demand they delete, too? Like hell you will. I think you know it would be useless to do so: the internet doesn’t forget and nothing truly gets deleted. Maybe you and your friends should remember that the next time you post horrible accusations about strangers that you can’t back up or prove.
TL:DR: This message is an insult and I am not deleting my post. Frankly, you (and especially @dreamfall) owe most of us on that list an apology, and you need to get better friends and hang around more honest people.
Don’t you DARE spread lies about people you don’t know, ever again.
