. Over the past months, Ghoul and I cultivated a close relationship both online and in person. I came to consider him one of my best friends. He purposely obscured (1/5)
his past with the Portland anti-fascist movement to manipulate me and gain the trust of the group. I personally feel myself to be a victim of his manipulation because of our personal relationship. His lies, both by omission and outright, misled me to believe he was a person (2/5)
that he has clearly demonstrated he isn’t. After learning the truth I feel very confused and hurt. I briefly deactived this morning for my own mental health because this betrayal is hitting me very hard. This is not only about me, but about the predatory behavior he engaged (3/5)
in with other women as well. Threatening to doxx people is intolerable, and their safety and well-being is of utmost importance to me. With that in mind, I saw the jokes people made at our expense and I hope that if this happens again in the future, the community slows down (4/5)
to consider the impact callous jokes can have on victims. I truly apologize for my association with and platforming of this person, and any pain it may have caused. I’ll be taking a break from twitter for myself, as I have determined that i need a break for my mental health.(5/5)
I do feel victimized as well. Please try to remember there is more than you may realize with stories.
