Hey, if anyone sees some shit from a CERTAIN discredited, abusive, toxic EX-game-designer with initials matching the Batman V Superman director, showing screencaps of ancient DMs with me as "proof" he's "not a transphobe", I've got some important clarifications:
1) I did not give him permission to share those conversations. I just made the VERY stupid mistake of muting him, rather than blocking him, years ago.

2) Whether or not the game itself was transphobic, the *name* WAS a calculatedly malicious act, and he himself clearly has…
…no respect whatsoever for trans women's boundaries or wishes, and is happy to simply use us as means to an end, as this act of sharing my DMs clearly demonstrates.

3) I did not have all the facts at the time. I was being manipulated by an abuser away from understanding the…
…whole history and context behind the character in that game, and who he named her for. He was using me, and IMO he was using Sarah too, in order to continue an agenda. Much as he's using me now.

4) His career is over and I think he also just wants to hurt anyone who was even…
…TANGENTIALLY connected to the process by which he finally met accountability. He's not just sharing my DMs for pragmatic reasons, but malicious ones as well.

5) I neither cosign nor support anything this unhinged little shit has EVER done in his sad, desperate life.

Fin.
(also, if any of you meet anyone who's under the impression those screencaps are RECENT, rather than like *literally* five years ago or whatever, please refer them to this thread. Cheers.)
