Besides the fact I was being a snarky bitch because I was home from work with another migrane? My comment was 'Dex is here the moment someone mentioned his name, to protest his being called a stalker'. I mean, come on dude, look at the optics? This isn't exactly a hidden forum, but the fact you or (I'm guessing) someone else was watching this place, and went into full defense more the moment someone mentioned your name didn't help your case. So I got snarky and jokey. That was really the extent of that.

Oh, and since lillith posted a tumblr post of yours where you accused me of protecting bigoted companies, allow me to be clear to one and all. Fuck Rooster Teeth. I cancelled my FIRST sub back in October, when it became clear that my faith that they'd learnt from past misbehavior and were trying to be better was misplaced and naive, and they were in fact depending on such faith from long term fans to hide their continued misbehavior. Hell, the only reason I still had it was because I had a low price grandfathered in from years ago and I didn't want to lose it, but FUCK THAT. The reason I purchased Arrowfell was because of my faith in Wayforward, not RT. I will not be acquiring Volume 9 via their website, especially given the way their management just fucked over the actual people that made it. Again. I will not be sending another cent RT's way.
Look, i have no way of knowing your physical or mental state at the time stuff is happening. I will apologize for taking your snark for more than i was supposed to. Migraines suck and i had no idea you were in such a shitty state. The problem with the optics game is that its a catch 22. Because if i dont defend myself then the claims about me will be spread more and more like the whole racism accusations that Lilith has levied at me. And if i come to defend myself then im also a bad guy. There is no "good" choice in this matter.

Also, could you give me a link to the tumblr post accusing you of protecting bigoted companies? Dont take it as me being evasive please, my memory can just be shite, i dont remember directly calling you out for supporting RT or buying Arowfell, something i do not fully fault people for doing. Just trying to find out if this isnt just another miscommunciation, misunderstanding.

Oh yeah, memory being a bastard is a familiar pain for me...

I was just mentioned in the post, namely under protecting bigoted companies for their behavior, and also 'accusing you of racism because you pointed out something was racist.' Which, as I noted the one time you've sent me an ask, my involvement there was literally seeing a post on the topic and going 'wait what?' for clarification. Because I still haven't actually gotten to that part of Arrowfell, so I only have second hand information on the character in question at best.

Look, Pokemon came out the same week! I'm WEAK! Although I'm debating THAT choice now. While I've been spared the bugs, and I'm enjoying it, Game Freak is looking more and more like Ubisoft and Activision-Blizzard... *Sigh* I know there's no ethical consumption under capitalism, but why is it all the time?!

Oh yeah, thats one. I will definitely apologize for that tumblr, i went a bit too wide with the shotgun approach. As you said, i did send an ask to you about that and you were not involved with those accusations so i extend my apology about that. I am not the most...... cool people under pressure.

As far as Pokemon goes, it is a bit offtopic but thats what happens when a company basically has no competition and knows that they can do the bare minimum. I mean, people are still going to buy the game, its Pokemon.

Bloody Lancer Wasps! I'm getting my ass kicked by them more than anything else in the game so far!
My sympathies, those one's are a bit tricky, though honestly for me the bats and the shooting gangsters were the hardest to deal with.

So that was a thing. I'm very glad I don't use Reddit. Or Tumblr. Or Twitter. And here I thought this place was too obscure and unused to get any of the usual internet drama. Well not if people who ceaselessly Google their own user name have something to do at about it apparently. 🤦
This didnt happen, but hey, im not expecting intelligence from this forum, nor reading comprehension apparently.

Hmm, that could be a concern I guess, not sure I a important enough for that but thanks for the insight!

Might not want to risk it, given that someone went out of their way to make an account here to publicly pick a fight with you and some random guy chimed in and called you a "discount v-tuber". I think you have enough attention from certain folks that it seems you are either important enough or they are so insecure about your comments that they have to chase you across the internet.


I just downloaded all my data so I should probably delete my account, I'd feel bad not being able to like people's art though :/

Also this is heavy but insightful:

Given she kneecapped another kid for no reason (in the eyes of others) and the WHOLE WORLD saw it, ya I can understand the "skip town" thought.

As for comments about Hanlon Fifestone the Union Leader and him being a villain.
I actually think it was kind of clever, though I'd have to actually see more myself to know the full story.
as for what I think Ihave picked up on
Hanlon used his semblance to draw emotions out of people and stuff them into pokeballs. He caused trouble and eventually RWBY tracks him down fights him and takes him down. It is eventually revealed that Hanlon was just part of Thornmane's plans to discredit and overthrow Ironwood.
So in the end what at first glance looks like malice just turns out to be someone being stupid, thus his first name of Hanlon fits as he is then an example of Hanlon's Razor which is basically "never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity."
As for the last name of Fifestone you have at least 3 parts.
Fife - a military flute primarily made out of word, like blackwood. American slaves adopted the instrument into their musical traditions.
Fifestone - a type of facing brick, i.e. the materials used in making of the facades (the principal front of the building).
Firestone - something used for striking a fire, like flint.
In short, the guy is just a cover. This wasn't some anti-union narrative, just something very poorly timed >.> It was someone using a Union to further their own goals by painting the Union as a dangerous evil. This is something that has happened in the United States before, and Atlas/Mantle is in a way based on America.
So ya, clever, but the timing kind of kills things.

Honestly the fact that someone followed people to a forum with like 15 active users to demand they provide citations proving that they're harassing them is the least self aware thing I've seen online for the last week or so.

Honestly I'm not interested in digging into the claims about stuff that's happening on other sites, but people posting on here need to chill out, ok?
