((MUN: Hey! Mun here. So. Bit of a predicament.
I was going to images where people tagged “Rivertale” on their art and kindly asked them to remove the tags if it didn’t have anything to do with Rivertale. As I said before, I researched to make sure there weren’t any AU’s named Rivertale when I started this AU.
Well one slipped under my radar, and was created... but has since been cancelled and is now a ‘dead AU’. So when I contacted someone who had the Rivertale tag on that AU’s fan-imagery... the person outright attacked me.
They told me I can’t go around saying that it’s MY AU. All I asked is they remove the tag. They further explained that it was created by their friend who has since cancelled the AU. So in my confusion as to why they were fighting me on this, I attacked back.
I explained to them that I had conceptualized Rivertale in February 2016, posted the first concept art in March 2016 and made this Tumblr in May 2016.
Then I asked multiple times for them to remove the tag before ultimately blocking them and their toxicity from messaging me.
They sent me two asks as anons. ““YOUR Rivertale” huh?” and something along the lines of “no one in this community needs someone as toxic as you”
I’m not like that.
I want to make people happy. I had started out my conversation with them with
“Hello Sweetheart, I noticed you [enter the rest] and if you could remove the Rivertale tag, please? It’s upsetting since it doesn’t have anything to do with Rivertale”
They could have replied “oh but this is fan art of my friends old AU. It was called Rivertale too” but instead they sent me a link to prove their friend made the AU first... and went on to speak condescendingly to me and scold me for even asking them to remove the tag for “my AU”.
I could have handled it differently, but what would you have done if someone just... attacked you out of nowhere? I’m sad and upset... and I think I’m just going to disable the Anon feature on my asks for now. So they can’t harass me.
I’m sorry my sweet shy followers. Please don’t let this prevent you from sending me asks... the anon feature will be back eventually. But not right now.
Thank you for understanding everyone. I’m not entirely innocent in this case, I’m not perfect. I’m human, and I wanted you all to know.))
