To all followers, submitters, and fellow "hateblogs" as well as anyone else who sees this post:
TheDarkEricDraven, a notorious self-declared 'proud paedophile', 'crossethnic Japanese person in a white body', and frequenter of the otherkin tag, has decided to throw a temper tantrum.
Draven, out of sheer spite, has decided to start harassing friends and even people who send me asks in order to goad me into interacting with him. This is not going to work. All it does is annoy other people and make their day less bright.
In essence (as I expect he is furiously F5'ing my blog, seeing as he literally has no hobbies to speak of) I ask that you, too, ignore him and share this post around. I will no longer be answering anonymous questions about Draven - either come off anon so I can reply privately or approach someone else.
(Click below for more detail on the "who"s and "why"s:)
His modus operandi used to be to simply spam my inbox, but since I now have him blocked (and have blocked every single proxy he's used to invade it) he has to create entirely new blogs with new dummy email addresses in order to harass me directly. This has slowed him down significantly. I do occasionally get the odd whiny ask that slips through the cracks, but for the most part, I've managed to scrub my inbox of his presence.
Draven hates being ignored, which is precisely why I've chosen this course of action. There is nothing more bruising to his over-inflated ego than for someone to not take notice of him, and after this PSA I intend to do exactly that for a very very long time. Do not mistake radio silence for defeat, and do not confuse refusal to "debate" as inability to debate - there is nothing more than can be said to or about Draven that hasn't already been covered by myself and by many others, as his trail of slime is long and his trail is not difficult to pick up.
I have wasted enough time debating this infantile manbaby - with this post, I wash my hands of him. Incepto ne desistam.
So you're following in nataliebat's footsteps and giving Draven a chance now?
*sigh* No, Draven and I will never be friends, and we will never see eye to eye on quite a few things. We have both come to terms with that.
And with that acknoweldgement, I realize it is completely fucking pointless to keep blowing up at each other. If we can discuss the things we disagree on clamly, that is lovely and probably a far bit more productive then trying to force each other to listen to our POV’s however that does not mean that I’m just going to stop pointing out when Xe says something problemtic, but I just DO NOT have the give a shit to argue like I used to.
Its pointless and levaes everyone feeling shitty and drained.
I also seriously disagree with the way BSI and OKQ treated Nat over something as trivial as having a calm discussion with someone. Calm discussion does=/= friendship or ignorning or condoning the problematic shit someone does or says.
Draven. DO NOT mentioned me in any arguments you are having with other people.
I said I felt like a dick about being so harsh about the gender thing, but that does not fucking excuse the transphobic shit you've said or the fact that you know nothing at all about gender identity despite actively IDing as nonbinary almost as long as I've been actively IDing as male. Do not use me to validate your shit when Jaran knows more about gender identity than you.
Pretend I do not fucking exist, I’m done with this shit.
"Supposedly" trans anon here. There's nothing wrong with not sharing my username. You're a big name fan in the animal-fucking community, I don't want my identity linked even tangentially to you or Draven or any of this bullshit.
And there went the rest of your already tenuous credibility.
Coming from someone who's FtM trans and genderqueer, so long as you understand the terminology, which you seem to, you're in the right by calling Draven out. He desperately needs it.
Thank you, and thank you for using your real username and standing behind this, unlike so many of the anons today.
No, you seriously just need to stop. Leave the gender callouts to trans people.
No, I don’t think I’m going to be taking the orders of a random, supposedly trans anon. Especially when you’ve admitted the callout was correct, and that Draven is not trans.
Look, I'm glad you're calling Draven out, but you really need to quit the cissplaining. I'm a genderfluid sometimes-neutrois-sometimes-male person, and you're totally barking up the wrong tree by calling him out for identifying first as gender neutral and then as genderfluid or bigender. For one thing, the definitions of genderfluid and bigender can overlap. For another, if you fall outside the gender binary you don't always know what the proper identifier is. I went from thinking (1)
I was bigender to realizing I was neutrois to then realizing I was genderfluid. It’s not as simple as you’re making it out to be. And for another, it’s perfectly understandable that a genderqueer person wouldn’t know it’s okay to call themself trans, because the binary trans community shits all over us time and time again. I know that Draven himself is appropriating genderqueerness for shits and giggles, but as a cis person you’re off base in your callouts and you need to stop.
If you know that Draven is appropriating genderqueerness for shits and giggles, then I am NOT off base in calling him out as that’s exactly what I’ve been saying. And, as I pointed out multiple times, it’s not a single factor like not knowing the correct terminology — it’s the overall pattern of Draven’s behavior that I’ve been calling out as showing that he is not trans. Not knowing the correct terminology after 2+ years identifying as gender neutral, genderqueer, genderfluid, and/or bigender while also dating someone who is trans themselves is just one aspect of this pattern, albeit a rather damning one.
how come you're responding to the people? i'd think an older otherkin would be mature enough not to involve themselves in this.
I find shedding light on the situation is the best way to handle things. Transparency. People like Draven and his supporters tend to hate that, because it leaves them with no place to hide.
