Clarifications
(This is not meant as a call-out post; just as a clarification and to show the situation is not as black and white as it seems, and to be as transparent as possible. I will be tagging people, but will remove their tags upon request.)
First of all, I’m just going to make a point-by-point to how I got involved, but if none of this interests you and you want to skip to the apologies, feel free!
this is the first post I encountered of this whole drama (originally posted by @unwest, with addition by @deadlcrd) and all I did was block everyone involved and just... go along my merry way.
I did feel somewhat bad, because @devianttm / @abusemade is someone I interacted with before and got along with pretty well (I just have no energy for so much negativity on my dash).
the situation was brought to my attention again when @deadlcrd posted this post and I expressed my dismay that a positivity blog would make a positive post towards their friend into a call-out post in my reply.
I expressed the same disappointment in my reply to the original post by @penguinpositivity and also send an ask (that they have since deleted).
and I thought it would be done after that, but more things started to resurface
like this post (originally posted by @tiredqueertm, but reblogged by @penguinpositivity) that proves that @unwest did purposefully send in triggering content
and this made me understandably feel a little unsure about my entire standing in the situation, because I don’t like being lied to
[edit] after reading @deadlcrd‘s reply to my post and re-reading the original post they posted, I want to clarify that I do not blame them for @unwest‘s actions, I guess I just got a little confused, because the structure of @penguinpositivity‘s post made it come off as if they were the same person
I still believe there is much to say about the entire outrage and how all parties are handling the entire ordeal, however
Penguin has since then apologized for being unclear in their post
I have temporary unblocked everyone so that I can personally come to them to apologize, but will most likely end up blocking them again. Not because I personally dislike them, but because I don’t want any part in this.
Honestly, I didn’t want to be from the start. I just kind of panicked because of all the negativity suddenly flooding my dash and I tend to take rash decisions when in that state of mind.
