Why is it okay for you to list who other people play but not yourself?

tw / pedophilia ment, racism ment, ableism ment, homophobia ment

the names of the characters were from the pages of hqeverwell, which were and are still available to anyone who would like to look at them. i was not in the group at the time this went down, so my muses are not on the list.

and again, the muns who played the characters listed had engaged in pedophilia, racism, homophobia and ableism. i don’t see a problem in steering people away from that.

Are you going to address your own mistakes? In everwell you were constantly suicide baiting your own characters and it was highly triggering to many members

i was in everwell months ago and left before i even had substantial plots with anyone because i felt unwelcomed.

what characters do you think i played that you want me to apologize for? we’ve established that i’m not the mun people assumed days ago.

i feel bad for the members of everwell who weren’t aware of what was going on, even more so that their safe space was tainted by the disgusting actions of the admins snags and raven. i hope those two never admin a group again, let alone join one. thank you for exposing those snakes and their nasty actions

that was my concern, anon! i’m very glad that those who were unaware were made aware and able to make their own decisions. i think, and hope, that they have decided to step away from rp which is probably for the best in this situation. everyone needs time to reflect and heal from the situation no matter their involvement.

Hello this is snags I truly am sorry for not reaching out sooner I wanted to take this time to seriously reflect on my actions and how they have effected others. I know nothing I can say will be enough to remedy this but truly I am so sorry for my actions. I will be removing myself from the rpc forever because there is serious growth and self reflection I need to work on. But deep down I truly apologize to you for both the hurtful things I have done and the hurtful things that were sent to you from people who claim they were standing up for me, I certainly do not stand by what they said and I apologize. Thank you for bringing these concerns forward.

thank you for the apology for the anons.

update on hqeverwell: here is an apology from snags.

[lilyspeaking]

the majority of you know that hqeverwell shut down, but i wanted to give a small update that i had regarding the admins, as it is still an ongoing situation for some. 

i spoke to beebop directly shortly after the first group of anons were posted. she posted her own statement on the hqeverwell main blog, which i read over myself and will reblog after this post for anyone who missed it or did not get to read. she explained to me that she has been away from the group dealing with a family tragedy, and had entrusted the group to some friends while she was gone. she apologized directly to me for the other admins actions, as well as the hateful anons sent in defense of the group. she has made it clear that she does not condone any of their behavior, and expressed remorse for the way many were treated in hqeverwell. she also messaged me later about the anon sent by a previous member who stated they were part of a ship with raven, and then their character ended up hooking up with beebop and snags’ characters. beebop says she is unsure of what ship or plot line this was, and would like for that anon to reach out (the main tumblr is still up, or beebop’s personal discord is also posted by her) so they can talk about things and figure out what went wrong. 

i received a message from raven as well, yesterday morning. raven thanked me for bringing these concerns about her to light and acknowledged that she was in the wrong in all the situations mentioned. she stated that she will be taking a break from the multifandom scene for the “forseeable future” and that she will spend this time reflecting on the situation and changing her behavior. they also stated that there is no excuse for their behaviors within the group and the things they have done. raven states that it took her longer to reach out because she wanted to sort through her feelings about the situation and make sure what she said was making sense, but did not want to go completely silent. she says that she is taking this situation extremely seriously and would be glad to clear up anything that needs explained.

i did not attach screenshots, but if anyone would like me to i can always reblog this later and add the images. i just wanted to get this out there so it does not seem like i am holding any information back. if you have any questions or concerns, please send them in. i can also relay your information to raven privately if you would like to speak to them directly.

and no, snags has not reach out or made any comments to this blog.

I was in the group, and i just wanted to thank you for bringing everything about this to our attention. I feel so bad, but with the way this group was run, it was really easy to not see everything happening because it was spread out between multiple channels on four different servers. as soon as I saw everything come out this morning and processed it - I left because I do not support any of that awful behavior. I just hate that I was ever affiliated with the group in the first place. I hope people reading these know how many members were in the same place as me and also were shocked and left - we truly had zero idea of the majority of stuff happening in the servers at any given time.

that’s why i felt i had to make the posts, anon. i had multiple friends come to me and tell me their experience and just how bad things were getting after i left, and i didn’t want anyone to be unknowingly supporting those things. since the group was so large, it’s a given that everyone will miss things but when they’re such serious topics, i feel like everyone deserves to know what’s going on.

i hope you’re doing well and feeling okay, anon.

as someone who is also not cis, the blatant disregard of certain members comfort when it comes to cis fcs - and namely, problematic cis fcs - playing non cis characters genuinely gave me severe gender dysphoria in everwell. their excuse was just that they didnt really care about fcs because they accepted faceless and art icons; but there are TONS of trans and nonbinary and gender diverse fcs beyond just mainstream actors, and plenty of rph blogs out there have lists and lists of options. especially since this group never needed gifs or edits for posting, accepting trans/nonbinary erasure when members say it makes them uncomfortable is still messed up. as well as that, in my experience, the characters who were gender diverse never actually had it shown in any bios or interactions beyond just a mention. imo, they were doing it for the diversity check, not to accurately and respectfully represent trans/nb people.

this is a big problem in so many groups! people love throwing a diverse ethnicity, race, gender, etc. out there, just to disregard it and never work it into their characters. as long as everyone passes the diversity rule, everything else is cast aside.
