I'm gonna be blunt. If you support lb I am uncomfortable with you.

I agree that CR has done problematic things and needs to be more careful, address problems and grow. I agree that they need a sensitivity reader.

I don't care if you don't like critical role. I don't. 1/?
You're more than allowed.

I do care that someone who has been blatantly misogynistic, racist, bi/lesbophobic, dismissive to enby people, trivialized sexual assault, blatantly hateful, and self-victimizing is being lauded as an incredible activist 2/?
all while he has allegedly cyberstalked individuals, spread slander, and any time his views have been criticized he has named folx as haters and abusers

I do not condone the genuine abuse that he has been through at the hands of the fandom. I do not think he ever should have 3/?
had to go through that.

However he uses that as his paintbrush to color the cast and anyone who disagrees with him in red. It's concerning.

He speaks over other marginalized voices. Consistently. He speaks over people and claims to be, now, a qualified sensitivity reader. 4/?
When I identified as a woman, Grey's language and attitude towards female characters (not just CR ones) was intensely uncomfortable. As an afab non-binary person, I am STILL intensely uncomfortable with him. 5/?
He has stated in the past that he does not have the qualifications for this. He has stated in the past that the CR fandoms toxicity is not on the cast but on the people in the fandom.

And he reneges that when it suits him. 6/?
He has been dismissive of lesbians, bi women, afab non-binary individuals, poc, and trans women in the past. I do not have ANYTHING TO GAIN from saying these things. I do not save receipts. But I followed him from 2016-2019 until I couldn't take the vitriol 7/?
I'm tired. I don't think he should have suffered as he did at the hands of the fandom. But I don't trust him.
And he doesn't speak for the LGBT community at large.

Please. Use your critical thinking skills. And listen to the people who are speaking up and HAVE been 8/?
for years about how uncomfortable he makes them.

I have nothing to gain from saying any of this. But I think it needs to be said and I'm not the only one saying it.
Grey developed a strange obsession and parasocial relationship with CR.

He spews vitriol about it; and then at it's fans or anyone who disagrees with him. It's concerning. Massively so.

Please. Just think.
