I’ve been seeing a lot of misinformation being spread regarding Eret recently and wanted to clear some things up. It’s fine if you don’t like him, but as someone who has been hyperfixated on this situation for weeks, here are some things I commonly see that aren’t true:
- ‘Eret said you can’t know you‘re asexual until you’re 18’.
This is untrue. He questioned that before puberty (<12) it may be hard to say for sure that you’re ace as attraction doesn’t start for most until then. This isn’t true in all cases, but he was talking about children.

- ‘Eret said there’s enough POC on the SMP’.
Also false. They responded to a question about rep with ‘We have Ponk’- very poor wording, but they clarified later they didn’t know the racial backgrounds of other POC on the server at the time. Never said there wasn’t enough rep.

- ‘Eret thinks heterophobia exists.’
Eret never said straight people were discriminated against, simply that hating straight people solely for being straight could be harmful. She wouldn’t have wanted toxicity in her chat, and as a bi person she is allowed this opinion.

Eret has made mistakes and I do not condone them at all, but there has been some confusion. Not liking them is valid, but don’t spread false info. Additionally, as a lesbian, seeing people call them ’lesbophobic’ does make me uncomfortable.
ah fuck got a priv qrt well nvm lol
- Here is also Eret’s apology for misunderstanding and invalidating nonbinary lesbians! I was asked to add this as some were unaware he addressed it, thanks to EretBot for adding it below!
