It's been now about a week and a half since I joined IDVtwt and I have been blocked by at least 30 of the IDV accounts I used to peruse regularly... just in case you needed to know how things have been going...
Very well, actually! I find it very funny that people blocked me over my silly posts and it's not like I really care for most of English IDVtwt. I've known even as an outside observer that they can be... finicky, at best.
Still, I'll post things on Twitter from time to time, but don't expect a ton of activity every single day over there. I promise that Tumblr comes first no matter what.
For the last week, I have been working on this document to explain my side of EVERYTHING, debunk any false allegations/rumors, and to clear my name of all this blatant slander surrounding ILYfoolsgold (me).
Please heed the warnings. 🔞🔞
The document itself.
I want to say thank you to my friends and others close to me for grounding me when this first occured, and for giving me screenshots from those who have since deactivated or deleted their tweets.
These same people also rightfully have pointed out what I did wrong, and I'm thankful everyday that I have people around me who will not let my own thoughts get to me, and will criticize me for the way I have handled things in the past.
To those who spread rumors with NO proof: Look in the mirror, fix yourself.
Worry about YOU, first.
To anyone who blocked me, I mutually blocked you back.
I don't want to associate or interact with anyone who would indulge a callout and take their word as fact with NO chance for ME to defend myself once I was in the right state of mind to do so.
Silence doesn't equal guilt.
My only regrets are that I wasn't clearer on certain things, such as my stance on fiction and an older situation (which I had already apologized for).
That, and that I did not defend those who defended me in the past. I messed up, and for that, I am truly sorry.
TLDR: I'm not a proshipper, pedophile, predator, or groomer, I'm also not friends with pedophiles or groomers either. I'm also not a freak because of my personal coping mechanisms that I keep private.
I'm a freak because I choose to be queer and cringe and a weirdo. 👍
I will not be responding publicly to any questions about the contents of the document, and I will not indulge any bad faith questions about the situation at all. You may DM me for personal concerns, and I will answer.
Other than that, I will never talk about this again. - Yoshi.
I really don't mind if anyone from Tumblr adds me or talks to me on IDV (either in public map or in global chat) but please, just saying "Are you Yoshi?" freaks me out... Sorry, but after the harassment campaign against me a few months ago, I have become very paranoid of even more terrible messages being sent my way.
My apologies for these worries of mine... But if you just ask me "Are you Yoshi?" I'm probably going to just ask "Who?" (Not confirming or denying it) in return and not respond to you any further, and block you too just to be sure.
I know my NAEU and Asia UIDs are out there already, I've promoted it myself before and it's readily on my SP, so I am in no way trying to hide it at all. If you don't like me, just block me, on every social media and in-game.
There's no need to stalk me in-game over the fictional content I create. Thank you.
If you didn't mean any harm, which I assume most don't (because I'm a kind hearted person) and you'd like to be unblocked on IDV... Please message me. That's all I can offer, thank you again for your understanding.
I'll be spending most of today and tomorrow finally updating my IDV collections on AO3 and making a Caine collection as well!
Thank you for your understanding as I woke on archiving all these things I've written and answered, apparently I haven't done this since around... November, of last year. Oopsie... I'll be busy with that!!
I may not be very active online for a bit, as someone I considered close to me has blocked me (with no given reason) and it has really upset me... I apologize.
Please do not worry, I just need some time to figure out my feelings. Thank you for your understanding.
Thank you all so much for not only the support and well wishes over this last week, but for providing me guidance, criticism, and offers to help prosecute those slandering me. (Really I appreciate it even if I could never afford it).
All I want from this situation is for people to be able to read my side and be able to form their own opinions without biased lies being fed to them. After that, they can do whatever makes them feel the most comfortable online. Whether that is unfollowing me, muting me, or blocking me. I don't care. You curate your experience online, and I'll do the same over here.
In the end, I simply wish to return to my normal postings, and have a good time online. After all, who would want to spend so much time online getting into drama after drama? That sounds like an awful way to live, and I refuse to fall into that like I did as a teenager.
So again, thank you everyone, and I hope to get back into normal posting very soon.
My request box will be opening back up again- and please, if I didn't respond to your supporting messages (DMs or Inbox) during the whole ordeal, just know I'm cherishing them privately.
You helped me so much, really. I'm forever grateful. 💖💖
