Real Internet Predators & the Warning Signs (A list for both shaladins & antis)

See, it’s one thing to crow about how you’re “protecting” minors in fandom, keeping them safe from Internet Predators & that you’re “doing your job as fandom mom”, but it gives it a whole different context when you also NEVER give any examples of actual incidences of abuse & predation that’s happened in fandom & what signs to look out for & how to avoid them. (And yes, this part IS targeted at adult antis).

Doing so just makes you come off as one of those infamous fandom moms that lure in minors because you’ve convinced them that everyone else is Satan & you’re the only safe person they can trust to guide them in fandom.

Thankfully, there is yet to be any reported cases of stuff like cosplayers sexually assaulting others at conventions in the VLD fandom, but this list is still important to warn people & to protect minors from creeps.

Warning for literally all the triggers in the links.

(It’s a list of actual cases of sexual assault/harassment in fandom, like what do you expect? The really bad links have warnings at the top before getting into the details of what happened though. They’ll be “*” in this post.)

Homestuck fandom for example, had Second*, who allegedly indirectly caused the death of her (was underaged when they started dating) girlfriend/boyfriend? & Alphie, who not only organized the Heil Hitler photoshoot in the Hetalia fandom, but also molested people at conventions because it was “IC” for her to do so & made orgasm noises at her underaged friend over the phone.

Here’s a whole list of different kinds of creeps in the rp community along with Stormy & Hellion, two infamous online fandom stalkers (these 2 are guys so they behave differently from fandom moms).

Plus an real article about a victim of an Internet pedophile.* Remember: it’s important to tell TELL YOUR PARENTS if you are getting extremely involved with an adult online or if you ever plan to meet up in real life with someone you met online.

And also the infamous FF7 (Final Fantasy 7) house*. The VLD fandom actually has its own version of it & it is frankly quite disgusting. (Someone ended up in the hospital because of this*).

Here’s a bonus list of stories of people being sexually assaulted/harassed at cons*. Remember: even if you’re embarrassed or shocked about being assaulted, you have to TELL THE CONVENTION STAFF. That’s what they’re there for: to catch, kick out & ban the creep & to prevent future incidents of harassment. More importantly, you should have a friend or family member escort you at conventions if you are underaged (even if you aren’t underaged, too actually!).

It’s also important to remember that even if you’re an adult, you can still be sexually harassed/assaulted by over-eager zero-boundaries underaged con attendees or even members of the convention staff. You should still report them to the proper authorities (especially the staff member, report them to their coworkers!).

CSA warning. Your post about internet predators reminded me of this one article written by David Farrier on certain Youtube predators and how insidious they can be. You have these kids being solicited in these nonsexual videos that ended up being fetish ones. thespinoff[.]co[.]nz/society/21-11-2016/hello-my-name-is-ally-how-children-are-being-exploited-by-youtube-predators/ Luckily someone in that fetish community recognized it for what it was and brought attention to it.

And to think, that We used to think that the salt & ice challenge was the stupidest most dangerous youtube challenge ever.

Don’t do youtube challenges, kids.

Alphie really takes me back, from the shit she pulled at Anime Boston that year. As if that wasn't bad enough, certain antis for Hetalia twisted the incident even when there was photographic PROOF of HOW bad it already was! Some still try to bold-face lie and even go as far to claim she got 40 cosplayers heiling atop a Holocaust memorial and that they all made the national news. Like the picture's right there and the fact she did what she did is bad enough. They make me think how VLD antis are.

A fear of mine

A lot of ships fandom find squicky or repulsive they don’t realize that many of the shippers are minors with little experience on power dyanimcs or age gaps.

And I worry some of the language used in condemning those ships or written with the assumption most content is by adults is driving those kids into seeking camdrerie into spaces where they are at risk from internet predators.

Sex trafficking: Your Daughter could become a Victim

We tend to think of human trafficking as a foreign issue, not something that could happen here in our own back yards. But it’s a fast-growing problem in the United States, in every area, with no real defined demographic.
