so, this post has caused major drama in the precure fandom and, seeing as i& #39;m at the center of it, i feel like i should address and apologize for what i did.

first off, i want to say that i consider myself 100% completely and solely responsible for what i did.

i posted this picture as a bit of funny joke last night because we& #39;re all waiting for the 2021 precure trademarks. i thought it would get a bit of a laugh because of how (deliberately) poorly done it was.
2/?

but one user didn& #39;t, a japanese user (that i can& #39;t remember their username because they have blocked me [but i wouldn& #39;t tag them anyways]), who responded in english expressing frustration (?) at me for & #39;lying& #39; and & #39;not respecting precure trademarks& #39; (paraphrasing)
3/?

i should have tried to explain to this user that what i had posted was intended as nothing more than a harmless joke, either in the thread itself, or in a dm.

but i didn& #39;t, i quote rt& #39;d it and told people to & #39;check out the japanese guy who didn& #39;t get the joke& #39;
4/?

that was my big fuckup. i stupidly didn& #39;t think about what i was posting and didn& #39;t realize i was basically sending a big signal that & #39;hey there& #39;s someone who doesn& #39;t understand english that well here! come and laugh at them with me!& #39; to my followers

i shouldn& #39;t have even called attention to the person not getting the joke at all, it was an utterly stupid thing to do regardless of whether or not they were a native english speaker or not. and i should know this because i sometimes have a hard time understanding jokes
6/?

i had already apologized for not realizing what i& #39;d done within in the thread itself, but that was not enough at all, if only because it was a single reply and not a full apology.

i realized i had fucked up when i realized that my follower count was going down rapidly
7/?

(i know that might sound weird, but i& #39;m pretty oblivious to fandom drama, even in this case)

anyways, as already said, i completely fucked up here and i don& #39;t blame anyone, even the people i considered to be my friend, for having unfollowed/blocked me because of what i did.
8/?

but one thing that i want to be made very clear here is this: i do not hold a single bigoted or otherwise hateful bone in my body. it was a completely idiotic lapse of judgement that made me make the QRT that started all this drama and one that i am fully to blame for.
9/?

i am also WELL AWARE that saying & #39;i& #39;m not a bigot& #39; does not excuse the (however unintentional) bigoted nature of the comment i had made.

but i would just like to reiterate one last time that i completely apologize for everything that i did to cause all this drama
10/?

and that i genuinely do hope that everyone in the fandom can eventually forgive me for my actions and attitude here, but i fully understand and accept if this does not happen. i cannot simply apologize and everything is forgiven as if it never happened in the first place

i need to work towards potentially regaining the trust and friendships i& #39;ve made in this fandom since 2018 and that may take months, it may take years, it may never happen.

but, for one final time, i& #39;d like to say that i am genuinely and completely sorry here.
