About Preston / lovedball / veritychosen / bloomingfates.
Hey so with recent stuff coming out I think it’s appropriate to shed some light on stuff. Before I do, let me give some context.
I do not like cancel culture. I do not participate in cancel culture. This goes beyond that, however. I won’t force anyone else to read it so let me just disclaim that the content beyond this point is going to talk about and contain proof of pedophilic content (specifically the direct production of sexual content of those explicitly acknowledged as minors by the author themselves.), and the fetishization of incest.
There is more that I could go into, but that’s not the point of this post. If others come forwards and share their experiences, I’ll be replying and answering questions so we can have a discussion in the comments but yeah. You’ve been warned.
So a bit of background. I considered myself a psuedo-friend of Prestons for a while, and we’d done minimal amount of writing but in general kinda got along. They invited me to a server and I could not have been prepared for the contents. I won’t put words in their mouth, I won’t give an opinion, I’m just gonna show the screenshots and let people decide what to do and how to feel before I say anything.
I will say for the record: These aren't edited, these are not faked, these are screenshotted and directly posted here from my Gyazo capture. As soon as I saw this shit I left the server and told people about what's going on. I will give my account to the best of my ability for whatever questions anyone might have.
The rules I saw going into the server.
Channels within the server. (Important to note: These were given by default and were not opt in or anything similar. Not that it matters.)
Type of content in these channels:
(Channel name not shown due to being taken quickly before dipping, but this is the ‘underaged’ channel.)
Proof of participation:
Now. With all that said and out of the way, I will give my opinion.
A lot of people are down and dirty behind closed doors, and I don’t really care too much about that. As long as nobody’s getting hurt and everything’s kosher between consenting adults who are comfortable, generally I don’t give a shit because that’s not my business and I don’t intended to make it my business. But when you produce content that, on a platform which frequently hosts minors in a fandom that is attractive to minors, produce this kind of content with this sort of tone... It’s utterly unacceptable. Fetishizing any characters you, an adult, acknowledge as minors period is unacceptable. We’re not talking about aging up shit, I don’t give a fuck, we’re talking about actual children. This shit is not fucking okay. The tone in which you talk about these events, speaking directly as a victim of sexual abuse as a minor by family members, is completely out of touch and abhorrent no matter what fucking stretch of benefit of the doubt I wanna give you.
I’ll close by saying this is not an attack. Frankly, I want nothing to do with you ever again Preston. The point is to draw awareness to the shit you do and how it affects people. What happens to you, I frankly don’t care.
If you are a victim of incest. If you are a minor, it doesn’t matter if you’re lying about your age to fit in or not this still applies. This kind of attitude and behavior is not acceptable and not okay. Do not hang around Preston. This will negatively impact whatever shit you’re going through and normalize it.
And that’s the message I wanna leave it on.
If anyone has questions, put it in the replies or comments and I’ll do my best to answer them the best I can and provide evidence to back it up. If I don’t have a source, I’ll be upfront and give the best account I can.
