For those who weren’t here 3+ years ago in the Diabolik Lovers fandom, here’s that Lipton tea ☕️
Katya Tomova, better known as LadyDarkCat is a woman who is manipulative, predatory, supports incest, and a rape apologist (see Predator Lite™ for details)
Now before I start listing off sources, this is to educate people who I’m sure have no idea we have people like this in our fandom and some people, who even gave this woman art should probably come out and apologize for supporting somebody like LadyDarkCat, who is a predator and a dangerous people, despite what she loves is fiction and in drawings. This mindset is completely not okay and I wish I could’ve known much longer ago that she was this horrible rather than finding out all the information back in 2016.
Let’s go into deal with many link sources, shall we?
As much as people know, Katya Tomova is a woman in her 30’s-40’s who lives in she in Bulgaria.
Katya has been known for being a “translator” and getting caught in her own lies. Many have their own statements which you can google for evidence.
Infamously, Katya is known for shipping Ayato with Cordelia, using any excuses she can find to claim she isn’t a predator
In a ask, LDC denied Laito was raped excusing he wanted sex from his mother (as if stagetory rape and manipulation isn’t a thing) as well as claiming men cannot be raped by women. I do warn people who are easily triggered by sexual assault and rape, do be warned.
In the past, Katya use to hell run the Diabolik Wiki Page. She was kicked out of the Wiki team due to bias information regarding Cordelia and the Triplets. Even made her own wiki.
You can see an example of her obsession for her ships here for yourself and really ask yourself “Why does she think this is remotely okay?”
Here and here, you can also see just what kind of people are really willing to get their money’s worth for selling art promoting incest and if these artists still want to give LDC an excuse, you’re part of the problem.
Back in 2016, Katya had a Facebook Group where she had posted many things, but nonetheless she posted artwork that she had no permission to repost on other websites, including Japanese artists who strictly have on their Twitters not to repost. A couple people defended her, while some didn’t excuse her actions. Others claiming it was unfair and still have no yet came out to apologize or speak out and say they had no idea she shipped the two and was this predatory. Her new Facebook group is here.
Around 2016, a trans person and woman who go by Stella Robin Summers and Brenda Aquino, both of them are in a relationship together, had posted in their Diabolik Lovers Facebook group a political post involving a White disabled man being beaten by a group of Black teenagers, calling them racial slurs and other derogatory names. I wish I could’ve had screenshots of this, but people who know Briella know they’re just as toxic and yes, they’re close to Katya. By default, she’s no better keeping bigots around know all and well the things they say to marginalized groups.
Many people have shared their complaints about LadyDarkCat and her platform of ignorant recourse that get pushed into believing it’s canon when those who have translated and played the games know it’s not with the sources she provides to the fandom
Yes, she even got a tattoo of her ship that is acceptably ink-shame material.
Let’s get to the main topic of why people despise this woman. Katya always has some kind of excuse for shipping Ayato with his own mother. In her post titled “Why does “ladydarkcat” ship Ayato x Cordelia? Why?” She quotes this...
Except she is a predator. If she truly believes Ayato loves his mother because he’s “obsessed” with her, even this line of thinking despite it being fiction is completely unhealthy. It’s like lolicons and shotacons defending themselves with the excuse of “It’s just fiction. It’s not like I’d actually have sex with a child!” I realize we want to believe that anime ships can be harmless and many of us are guilty of being way too weeb, but these things are not socially, mentally, even psychologically acceptable to romanticize about a mom having a sexual relationship with her own son. Just say you love incest and predatory behavior already, LadyDarkCat.
You really cannot convince me that what she does is remotely okay. You really have to question a person’s mental state if they take an incest ship this far let alone condone it, and not tell me they don’t have a serious problem. And sadly, there really are sick people out there who defend her this much instead of looking into why it’s so disgusting and wrong.
I don’t want to go on and on and brag about this, but many of you have been warned about this woman. We need to stop letting predators and pedophiles like this have outlets and not excuse their behavior. As much as we want to think this is harmless because it’s animated, it’s the soul fact it IS harmful and not just a simple fetish. Please stay safe everyone.
Oh and LadyDarkCat, I won’t take down my memes and yes, your tattoo looks god awful lmfaoo.
