so you know how this past weekend was The Worst Weekend Ever⢠for streaming and gaming?
That was because there was a lot of exposure for abusers in the industry.

when we say & #39;abusers& #39;, we mean
-people guilty of SA
-people guilty of coercion flat out
-people guilty of straight up r*pe
-people who have been a sleaze using their status to force favors from women

what we DON& #39;T mean is
-that ex that was bad at sex
-that ex that cheated on you
-that one time you consented consistently but recently decided & #39;nah I don& #39;t like them, actually& #39;
-shaming people who owe you money
-that time you let a predatory roam but it isn& #39;t your fault

I want y& #39;all to realize if you& #39;re posting stories and items with an explicit endgoal to absolve yourself of blame OR because you just want to watch someone you& #39;ve had issues with squirm?
you& #39;re not ONLY an asshole, you& #39;re hurting the bigger movement.
you& #39;re not ONLY an asshole, you& #39;re hurting the bigger movement.
don& #39;t misunderstand: your pain is real, and a lot of these people suck. truly.
But lumping in that one time you thought you liked a person, but didn& #39;t, with people who are LITERALLY GUILTY OF R*PE is not it. you are doing more harm than good.

that said: posting these stories knowing that this will likely end their careers/placement because you& #39;re still sad and you want to fit in?
tbh? It& #39;s manipulative as fuck.
Don& #39;t do it.

Don& #39;t do it.
We already have an overwhelming number of problems that effectively immediately, we NEED to address in the industry.

Y& #39;all can go unpack that.
Don& #39;t conflate it with the myriad of people who have a stranglehold on the progress and advancement of marginalized people, please. Many of us are hurting and this hurts on top of it.

Also: there are people who are trying to compile master lists of abusers and predators. When you toss in your story in the same formats amongst the same climate---->
