Drama and the State of My Sanity
So I mentioned before that I would have to tiptoe through the next parts of all this drama because it gets kinda sketchy to talk about. At this point, Slazo takes a complete backseat as no-one who originally jumped onto the drama train even focuses on him anymore. I was really surprised when Nicholas DeOrio did an interview with him about all the recent developments, almost as if to wave Slazo in the air so people could see who this war was over again.
The reason it all gets sketchy to talk about or criticize is because of one prominent person. Hyojin.
Now, disclaimer first because this is important. I need to strike a line in the sand when it comes to reactions over this. First and foremost, yes it does sound like I’m coming for someone who isn’t in the right state of mind right now and many people who are defending Hyojin throw this up as a defense for why Hyojin cannot be criticized. It’ stupid and hopefully by reading this, you’ll understand why...
So as it was mentioned before, not all of what Chey said was 100% accurate, and ommissions in the proof she provided showed she was just as manipulative and deceitful as she claimed Slazo was in the beginning. What made this even worse was the number of prominent commentary channels and fellow artists who had jumped on the bandwagon to demonize Slazo, but none worse than Hyojin. There was the previously discussed cancellation of Slazo, the discord DMs and the fact she was a headline contributor to the Twitlonger that Chey posted.
After all that, her own shit was hung out to dry and this turned all the attention onto her. Accusations of animal abuse, a cheating scandal, and a 2nd twitter account where she drew pornographic images of herself and her friends who at the time were underage. It was a dumpster fire of accusations that had a hefty amount of proof to back them up. Top that off with a number of Hyojin Clapbacks which included heavy racism and you can say Hyojin had her back up against the wall.
This culminated in Hyojin posting on twitter that she tried to kill herself from all the abuse she was getting and I’m not going to stand here and say she deserved that in the slightest. She’s a human being and deserves some decency when it comes to confrontation. Civility isn’t impossible to show.
My problem comes with her fans.... oh boy her fans.....
