GWA

Added 2022-03-24 08:10:10 +0000 UTC

In case you haven’t seen it yet, GWA is finally addressing something I have known about for a while. I think it’s important for you to seek out and read and understand exactly what danger I was in. I also urge you to read the comment section which includes terrified performers and writers reacting to an organized attack on the community. I hope reading the post on GWA will offer some perspective and answers.

There was a lot more going on than you could possibly imagine. But at the end of the day, I am a human. I am a human with a voice and sadly since you cannot see me maybe you don’t realize the implications any mounting threats to my safety was posing. I am doing my very best to try and see any silver lining in this. But it would be remiss of me to not express that I am suffering a tremendous creative loss right now. I alienated myself from two communities. I haven’t slept in a week with PTSD from the safety risks. I want you to know- I have been through heIl, and have had people I trust turn against me and put me in incredible danger.

Discord leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I felt I was screaming into the void. No one took my safety precautions seriously. Some only cared if it affected their fun. But they were in place for a reason. I felt like a betrayed parent. And you compromised my safety.

Over my years of doing anything creative under this handle I have had stalkers - one create 22 accounts to harass and abuse me. Death threats. Slut shaming. Actual correct guesses to my city asking if I would rather be paralyzed or just killed. If this is upsetting to read, imagine for a moment how I feel. That is why I could not handle any abuse of my information and safety being compromised. That along with the massive, organized attack on GWA and other subreddits - well, I was not safe.

I am sorry if this message is shocking, but I think you need to know the information I was aware of now that it’s finally been made public.

UPDATE:

I have removed the most recent post as it might not be helpful for me. FYI - I am going in lockdown mode now. I will attempt to start audios here once it is safe. (I am hoping in April.)
