below is a thread of dms ive had with b*bi,, although these dms aren't as severe as the others, i had some weird feelings while talking to her. I ignored a lot of the signs, but the recent evidence from other people got me to connect the dots.

1. this is our first interaction. I was 16, and she mentioned my age. i was surprised at the sudden age confrontation bc personally i dont think people point out other peoples ages at first convo, but i waved it off since i publicly mentioned that i was 16 at the time

2. next, i did like a bts ship template on IG for fun. she replied, and i thought she was mad at me for not liking vmin as much as other ships. i know ships are just a fictional preference, so i thought she was just passionate about vmin. But her tone seemed,, off

i thought i made her mad, so i asked for her to recommend me some artists to make her feel better

3. she asked why her art wasnt gaining traction, so i was explaining to her about how IG and its algorithm works. everything was fine until she mentioned my followers. i think i had around 40k at that time. it felt weird, again

this happened just after. i had my notifs off bc i was dealing with college applications, but i felt bad that i didnt tell her i was busy beforehand

we were on friendly terms. i got around to using twitter more in april 2019, and i found her acc, and followed her. Then, for a while, i noticed that she often degraded herself. I wanted to cheer her up, so i often sent words of encouragement, i drew smth for her-

to make her feel better. because i was insecure about my art myself, i understood about being insecure, and how bad it felt like. At the time, i wanted to let her know she and her art was amazing

ive seen her talk about how her art wasnt getting attention, and that she would never be good enough,, i replied to some of those tweets with reassurances. i genuinely thought she was just a very insecure artist and i felt bad for her.

which was why i was surprised when one of my friends mentioned problematic behavior she did behind the scenes. i was shocked, but i unfollowed her right after.

but now thinking about it, there were a lot of red flags which i ignored bc i thought she was just insecure and needed

support. i guess bc of my naivety i didn't notice what she did,, these are very minor incidences. i dont think this thread contributes much, but this was my perspective nonetheless
