I feel the need to make a statement here, and I'll likely make a similar post on Tiktok, but for now I'm putting this here.
A month ago I was made aware of screenshots of a discussion about past behavior I exhibited during April-May of 2025. Some of the things talked about was: sending NSFW to a minor, rape jokes, and general inappropriate/rude behavior.
This was later reinforced when I was shown a post by someone who I will keep anonymous, talking about me and the stuff I had done.
I want to give my perspective of this, since before I was given the screenshots, I had completely forgotten of any events relating to this. None of the screenshots had me explicitly in them, all were just reposting the NSFW in question and personal accounts of the people involved.
Back in 2025, I would join community servers that were advertised on Tiktok, starting simce February. That April, I had turned 18, and was looking for more friends in my shared fandom. It was also the time me and a friend were working on my oneshot series: The Ballad of Fiona, and making my animation, A Place With No Name.
I will first be up front and say that I should not have been making such jokes around minors. If my memory serves me right, this took place in a 16+ server, and even at the close age range between I and the youngest members, such topics and jokes are never okay at all. Its something that ive been slowly learning during my time as a adult, and I can confidently say that the way I would flaunt around this au toward anyone willing to hear me was never the right thing to do, and ive deeply regretted it for months. It made several people uncomfortable, it wasn't the appropriate setting, and I know I triggered many people with such conversations. I was old enough to know better.
Rape jokes are never okay, I will never support them, and I don't condone the action. I havent made such jokes since, and I deeply apologize to anyone in that server who had to hear me make such comments.
Secondly, the screenshots mention my inappropriate comments and behavior toward my girlfriend, who I am no longer dating and will also be anonymous. I began dating her when she was 18, I 17, and even while a minor, we should've known better to act more mature and appropriate in a group setting. I apologize to all who had to deal with us and our behavior. We were old enough to know better, and regardless of if people are together, being gross and sexual toward eachother around other people is never okay, especially people younger than you.
Finally, the screenshots mention the fact I had sent NSFW to minors during April-May of 2025. I turned 18 on April 27, and I recall that when I was 17, I had a mindset which was that "as long as I'm a minor, I can do whatever I want before im legal!" As such, I had a bad habit of engaging in sexual conversations with people fairly often. When I turned into an adult, I made it a point with all my minor friends that such conversations will stop, and I have been true to that word.
The drawings that were shown are of Goob and Finn, and I remember that when I had drawn those images, I was 17. In fact, most of them were drawn while I was in class in my sketchbook. Regardless of when I was drawing them, the fact that a minor was exposed to my adult content should have never happened.
I have little to no recollection of the people involved, or the specific conversations had, so I can only assume that I had sent the images not knowing that the people I was sending it to were minors, as I recall there being adults in that server. This wouldn't have been the first time someone had not told me their age, and I had never asked them their age, and ended up in sexual conversations. I did find old dms of me sending the exact same images to someone in those screenshots, sent in February, when I was 17. But even when I was a minor, I was old enough to know better.
It was irresponsible of me to send such images to people I never learned the ages of, as I am aware that, with my mindset at the time, I wouldnt have done it had I explicitly known they were a minor. Its extremely dangerous, especially since the person that could receive those might be a minor.
I want to sincerely apologize to anybody who was underaged that I had sent these images to. I want to apologize for any explicit conversations we had. I am sorry that I had ever put you in such a dangerous position with an adult. I apologize for any inappropriate, crude, or straight up mean comments or jokes I have made toward anybody in that server and anybody under 18.
I know I have matured since early 2025, and have become more strict with how I interact with underaged people now that Ive had time to settle into the adult chapter of my life. I know that all of the things being said are just verbal statements, and as of right now, nothing else has been released or mentioned.
I do not condone sexual subjects being talked about around minors. I do not condone bringing adult topics into places minors can access them. I have put in the effort during my first year as an adult to make a barrier between how i interact with adults and minors, which only began to happen during the summer of 2025. I will make it explicitly clear that even though I have very little memory of the people, the server, and the events that transpired, that doesnt excuse me from accountability. There are not enough words I can say that can fix the harm I have caused anyone who were exposed to anything that was adult content from me.
I want to further apologize for posting TBOF content on Tiktok. Its something thats been on my mind for a while, even before I was made aware of this. I know that when I had started, I used the fact that other adult creators use Tiktok as their main platform, but I want to be honest and say that TBOF should've stayed on AO3. Tiktok is riddled with young people, and a lot of young people watched my art dumps and animations for the series. And even though none of the animations or the fic itself had explicit scenes, the subject matter alone shouldn't have fallen into the hands of younger people. I am sorry for posting any content of TBOF in spaces where minors can easily find it, especially since Dandys World is a kids game, and allowing them to be exposed to such sensitive themes.
TBOF was always meant to be a realistic, pro-healing fic series, made when me and friend were at our lowest. It was always meant for comfort and as a way for me to write out my feelings in a healthy way. It should've never been put on a platform where it could become viral, and the fact so many people watched it and were exposed to it. While I have gotten many supportive comments in the video, the simple fact is that it should've have been on Tiktok at all.
I wanted to post this because being quiet about stuff like this is never the right call. While I can only offer apologies and promises that I have changed and will continue to improve in the future, I genuinely do wish all the people affected well. I am glad you brought this up, and are speaking about it, because if I was in your shoes, I would want the same.
This post was not made for sympathy: it was made because it was the right thing to do. I will not keep what I have done a secret, because I dont believe something like this should just be buried under guilt and fear of ridicule.
I will likely not be posting on any socials for a long time, and will likely private my Tiktok account. I will still be active on Discord and my communities and working on my longfic and any future fic projects. I want to also say that I do not support the fetishization of rape, incest, or any kind of dead toons content. I know a lot of people speaking of me does associate with that stuff as of now, and I want to say that engaging in that harmful content only hinders your healing, it does not help you. There are always healthier outlets to heal and recover from abuse you have endured from others, and engaging in rape content that actively supports the abuse isn't doing you any favors.
That's all I have to say.
