hm. okay. I feel like I'm missing a lot of information here, and not that anyone asked, but here we go:
From my understanding, teampinata is under fire because an old tumblr(?) blog of theirs was discovered (1/?)

On this blog, specifically nan's blog(?), nan drew and took commissions for "aged up" child characters in inapropriate positions(? basically i mean not porn but not clothed, from what I understand?) and tagged it (2/?)
and also made art for a sneeze kink they had(?have?). This is a very large reason for being under fire, but the main reason is the commentary attatched to said images supporting/talking about sex/kinks/etc in an extremely naive, dangerous, and unhealthy way (3/?)
Obviously, this is a very big deal, especially to a community that already has a very high likelyhood of having experinced csa/cocsa/grooming/etc. Nan has since apologised. Their apology consists of them admitting to having written and drawn said posts on said blog (4/?)
They say they no longer hold such views, admit they are a very borderline predatory to have done in the past. They say it is okay not to accept their apology, but that are sorry and do not condone the actions of the past (5/?)
That's my understanding of the current situation. As a vivtim of CSA/COCSA myself... I'm very conflicted. On one hand I'm genuinely appalled. My stance is a very no tolerance policy for any kind of CP- drawn or not. (6/?)
There is no excuse, no way- if you find yourself having to debate on whether on not what you drew could be considered CP, wht you did is beyond wrong. On the other hand, I have first hand experiance on what trauma can do to your brain (7/?)
Cognitive dissoance is real. guilt is real. my main abuser was a victim reenacting his guilt and trauma on me. I've been in a mindset where my brain needed a NON REAL place to vent out my trauma. But there is a very big difference from wht I did and wht my abuser did (8/?)
I would never, ever do what he did. There's a very big difference from drawing out your specific trauma- be it in a journal or through art- and acting out your trauma. I will never forgive my abuser, and i would hold that standard to anyone.(9/?)
I am conflicted now. because I have to ask myself- did nan do what i did, or what my abuser did? did they cross a line to huting other people? people are hurt now. is that the same? (10/?)
I don't have an answer to that. that scares me. My brain is divided into giving nan the traumatized benifit of the doubt, or trusting by twice bitten instinct. I don't know. I'm going to give myself time to process and step away from them for now, i think. (11/11)
