Poppy's psychological abuse of Noehflake after Noehflake officially broke things off at the December Trip.

Since we’re airing our grievances today, I’ll add mine to the pile. It was embarrassing when you argued what happened to Saige wasn’t sexual assault or abuse. We spent weeks dunking on Poppy stans when they argued what happened to Dom wasn’t technically sexual harassment. You made us all look like hypocrites. I don’t care if it’s technically in the definition or not, flashing your breasts/penis isn’t okay.

I handled that whole thing poorly. I was intending to focus on the escalation of language and changing terminology to point out Saige was pulling from the same playbook as Poppy: people weren't reacting strongly enough to her expose for her liking, so she escalated. Just as Poppy insisted at first that what Noeh did wasn't rape but now just openly calls her a rapist, Saige was first calling it sexual harassment and abuse, even saying that she HADN'T called it sexual assault, and then changing her language to elicit a stronger reaction.

I let Saige bait me into arguing over definitions, I got lost in the weeds, and that was clearly a mistake on my end. I should have just kept focusing on how Saige has been willing to misrepresent and outright lie about everything else in order to curry favor with Poppy and thus for that reason her accusations of sexual assault should be treated exactly the same way we should treat all her her other allegations: point out that she is a demonstrable liar.

is this post about saige still valid?

Yes. There’s been a lot more pain since then, but the core sentiments still stand.

I want her to get better and find peace and an actual loving and fair relationship.

I’d like to talk to her from a less combative place and my inbox remains open to her, but even if she never wants to, I want her to get and have better. I want her to thrive. She deserves it.
