I’m tired so here is some free context instead of rumors:
Minty made a post that called shippers pedophiles. A popular artist who has been the target of Minty’s before and has been dealing with months worth of harassment finally snapped.
Yam’s post was immature and they admitted
this later. They were just tired of the constant hate and, like anyone who has been on the receiving end for months, finally snapped. I’m not here to argue if they were right or wrong.
They have locked their Twitter after receiving d*ath threats, and in order to protect themself
ran a blockchain on Minty’s followers, where most of the harassment was coming from.
Minty did not tell people to harass Yam, but she looked the other way for days. Even after coming back from deactivating, during which she claims she thought about hurting herself, she got on
Livestream and proceeded to read Yam’s tweets out loud and encourage everyone to make fun of them. Slurs were thrown around. People mocked Yam, a non-native English speaker, for her grammar and fluency.
There is a rumor that Yam told a CEA survivor that they would keep drawing
Brugio. This is true, but lacks context. Someone went on Yam’s art via searching the tags and began to attack Yam and demand they change their content. Yam replied by saying they would continue to produce whatever content they want in their own space.
A group of people briefly
started a campaign to change headers to show they’d been blocked by Yam. They promoted the tag “burn yam” and posted screenshots of a GC where they said things like “burn the witch”. They encouraged each other to sneak into Yam’s locked account and leak her followers. They only
stopped because Minty asked them to. There is screenshot proof of it all but they deny the tag they created and show no empathy for their part of the harassment.
As far as the issue of Minty receiving nasty CCs, I can confirm that it was not Yam as they are on a break for their
own mental well being. We will never know who sent it. It could have been anyone, and pointing fingers to blame people doesn’t solve it.
There has been a stark lack of empathy shown through out this situation and it has highlighted that people on jojotwit do not see each other
as living, breathing human beings. They are fine spear heading a harassment campaign, sending d*ath threats and telling people to d*e while simultaneously saying that they don’t condone any of the above. One of the main people who started the harassment campaign against Yam ships
GioMis, a 15 and 18 year old and widely hated ship among anti-shippers that has been accused of being pedophilia multiple times.
I frankly don’t care what side you are on. If you don’t see the hypocrisy of harassing someone while simultaneously condemning harassment against
others, you need to re-evaluate.
If you don’t see the level of toxic this has gotten to in which we now openly mock and harass someone for blocking rather than engaging, where we slander for practicing self care, you need to re-evaluate.
Don’t pride yourself on being “mean”.
It’s not a good look and I promise one day you’ll regret making that your defining personality trait.
Don’t send threats. To anyone. Don’t harass. Don’t seek out content you don’t like. Don’t demand artists change for you, because they won’t. Don’t make fun of people for
practicing self care. Don’t lie. Don’t gloat about hurting someone as if it’s something to take pride in. Don’t celebrate hurting someone.
We’ve seen multiple attempts at suicide and hospital visits in 2020 alone. Doesn’t that send up a red flag?
Shouldn’t we stop and understand that something is terribly WRONG with our fandom if it is causing people to hurt themselves? People are leaving in droves, antis and pro shippers both, because the atmosphere of this fandom scares them. Because they can’t take it anymore. Stop.
And finally PLEASE STOP putting so much pressure on Minty. Please stop using her as an excuse to harass and only stopping because she says not to. She has messed up before but has also made it clear MULTIPLE TIMES that she does not condone threats or harassment. If you TRULY care
about her as a friend, then you KNOW she doesn’t like these things and that starting these campaigns in her name only makes it worse on HER. Stop !! She’s 14!! Stop using her as your excuse to hurt people when she clearly says not to!
Whenever you start campaigns to go after someone and pin Minty’s name to it with your “justice for minty” hashtags, you tell everyone that she condones this when she never even asked anyone to do these things. Stop using her as your scapegoat and your excuse to bee assholes.
If you guys want to protect Minty, you’re doing a lousy job of showing it.
And let’s not forget that the person who started the whole thing, the GioMis shipper? Has repeatedly admitted that they post racist and homophobic things for the attention and even posted a black face Iggy with the name “N*ggy” on it. That’s who you guys are taking your cues from
You’re taking your cues from someone who is proud to post racist content and who openly calls themselves a “mean girl”. You know, that movie about a group of girls that bullied people into self harm and su*cide.
Since I know people will want receipts.
And no. I’m not blocking out their name. They were and still are proud of this behavior.
