Crunchy

Originally, I considered one out of context tweet not worth making any kind of deal out of, and id just block people who took a very incorrect and disingenuous read of my words. But it spiraled into serious accusations of my character with little more than "Crunchy supports this thing and is a bad person" When there is not a single screenshot of me saying anything of the sort, because I did not, and I assumed that with people taking time to read, it would straighten itself out. I was wrong.

If someone won't take the time to read my side of the issue, then I would argue that they are not someone to trust with serious accusations, as they are someone who won't look at the source, and therefore, won't know enough about me or the situation, to hurl serious accusations.

I apricate that fandoms these days want everyone to be the best versions of themselves, and thrive for accountability.

It's annoying that the flip side of that coin is when people are wrong. A harmful / untrue rumor will stick to someone forever, and actively muddle the water for everyone: the people that did the accusing, the person accused, and any actual victims that need the support and to be believed.

Believe victims, reserve judgement for people saying things without clear proof because it's cool to be the call-outer.

I always have, and will apologize and admit when I'm wrong and correct myself, in every event that happens. I did so recently on a sketchbook I took too long to deliver, immediately corrected my actions, and hired a manager to make sure everything STAYED right going forward, and the same issue would not repeat itself. Proof / context - My victim stating that the issue is resolved - https://twitter.com/remygryph/status/1718328170531758099 Positive change moving forward, Proof- https://twitter.com/CrunchyCaws/status/1718380185869750685

Earlier AND later in this post, I even admit I'm wrong, multiple times, over multiple things, openly. I will own up to my incorrect actions in every case it happens. Because It happens, people are wrong sometimes, and doubling down on being wrong is not a mature course of action. I find it frustrating that that's what I'm running into with my accusers, simply because they don't want to be wrong.

I have an ACTIVE track record of APOLOGIZING AND MAKING THINGS RIGHT.

If someone is out there claiming I'm actively causing any harm, or am a bad person in some way, ask for the evidence. ask to see victims stories, and support the people who need that support to be made whole.

I WILL POST, SUPPORT, APOLOGIZE, AND MAKE RIGHT - /ANYTHING/ - IVE ACTUALLY DONE.

I DON'T SUPPORT HEARSAY. That's the thing I said that made everyone upset. I get that on the internet, especially in younger circles it's not a popular opinion. Cool, I'll take that criticism, and continue not spreading things I might be unsure of. Scandalous.

WHO WAS THE ORIGINAL POST ABOUT!!?? WHAT DID YOU DO!!?? JUST BE CLEAR !!

I made a vague post about the FURRY FANDOM.

EVERY "PROOF" of me supporting X, Y, or Z, is all circumstantial and bookended with the logical fallacy of applying emotional manipulation, and putting the burden of proof on me, which if you don't know what those are - APPEAL TO EMOTION and BURDEN OF PROOF <- Click them and learn! I am trying to refute everything I can, with as much evidence and context as possible, without appealing to anyone's emotions to the best of my ability.

People thought i was talking about a warriorcat event, when I haven't been active in the fandom for over 10 years. I got dragged in because someone else who followed me, who was STILL IN warriors, applied my words to something i had little to no context for and was not apart of. This original post where I was QRT'd (not by the later mentioned call-outer, who is the continuing problem, by someone I'm on fine terms with) in relation to the situation in the FIRST place- was deleted, because the original poster realized they had made a mistake in dragging me into something I had nothing to do with, apologized, and we are chill with each other.

This shouldn't be an issue.

This was an "if the shoe fits" post. I was not speaking on the situation, but someone put the shoe on, and was upset that the shoe did not fit. ??? ?? ?

I never have and never will make posts about situations i do not have full context and information for. This goes directly against what I believe to be right, you wont catch me doing it. So I would have NEVER commented specifically on a situation in a fandom I haven't participated in in years.

I will be attaching ALL the original context with direct links not JUST screen shots out of context.

The original call out posted ONLY out of context screenshots in an example of cherry picking, another way people will try to convince others of things that are untrue.

Original post that I made - https://twitter.com/CrunchyCaws/status/1626692009640579097

Additional replies and context, completely removed from the callout-ers post and not considered when attacking my character-

The callout post itself (posted a bit farther down) is making accusations of me blocking for reasons that are entirely ASSUMED, and assumed very incorrectly. I have people blocked ENTIRLEY for how they choose to interact with things online, pet peeves in how they interact with social media, certain fandoms, or characters as WHOLE that I find personally /literally/ triggering, and people that reply without reading the full thread. I have PROVABLY - THOUSANDS of people blocked, for impersonal, non-moral reasons. https://twitter.com/CrunchyCaws/status/1742626966820225535

It was unfortunate that people who happened to be on the pulse of this were in a community/circle that I have blocked for the reasons of not liking to view SPECIFIC WARRIORS CATS, PET PEEVE OR PERSONAL TASTE OF DISLIKING CERTAIN FANDOM THINGS- and NOT for any deep or significant moral reasons, literally JUST timeline curation. If you agree with the below, call-out narrative, then I know i can't and won't try change your mind. I know that kind of person probably haven't even read this far, and if you have read this far, you are not the kind of person I am referring to. If i was intense at them, or anyone at the time, I DO RIGHT HERE APOLOGISE FOR MY TONE. I did at the time, react emotionally because they came out with attacks and accusations, instead of asking me what I meant. When I tried to clarify my words, they just, wouldn't believe me. Ironic at best, hypocritical at worst, coming from someone asking to be believed at their word, not believing my word. I took actions and made blocks that were fueled by frustration, that was wrong of me, and for that, I am truly sorry, I'm not just saying that. I have no problem saying my past actions could have been more in tune with the very emotional and intense subject matter at hand, regardless of how blind sighted I was by it. I have since every day tried my best to not let this kind of thing happen again, culminating in this post, where I both apologize for my behavior, but am going to discredit allegations against me that do not have proof. You can see here in this below screenshot that I actually DO NOT have them blocked currently, because I believe in growth and change and clearing miscommunications and having everyone in a situation grow and learn. Once I realized this was a misreading me issue that was going to spiral, I am/was more than happy to make things right in any way I can and move forward in a way to make everyone feel heard and happy. Note that this person said I was defending someone I NEVER MENTIONED OR ALLUDED TO, and did not provide adequate proof of that, because what is posted here, is all I ever said. I have here provided FULL CONTEXT, which this person did not do. This is the smoking gun that is the root of the accusations being hurled at me on occasion. https://twitter.com/GalaxxAi/status/1627726642536763392

You can see I even unblocked them at the time, ( And currently have them unblocked) so that I could reply to try to be VERY CLEAR that this is not what my original post is about, and to dispel any worry, but I only got double downed on when i tried to explain that it was indeed, just a misreading of my words. They also accused me of Liking things I DO NOT SUPPORT OR PARTICIPATE IN, then NOT PROVIDING PROOF that I liked those things, BECAUSE I DID NOT, THERE IS NO PROOF OF THIS. Again only listed proof is me saying that I don't like it when people drag art I do not like to see onto my timeline, when they also dislike interacting with that kind of art. That if there are no victims, and all parties are in full consent and capable of giving that full consent, and if no harm is done, then things should be allowed to be in their own spaces, un-harassed. Art can sometimes make someone uncomfortable and be challenging. I can agree with that, and also dislike art that makes me personally uncomfortable. I stand by HARMLESS kinks being left alone. I did not state specifics on what those "kinks" were, if something is harming someone, that is not a kink, that's a CRIME, and not what I would ever defend. Here is a statement I made that call-outer did not see or address in any good faith. https://twitter.com/CrunchyCaws/status/1627762856006483970

making incorrect assumptions and framing me as participating in that content when I actually have STRONG feelings to the contrary is frustrating to say the least, and am trying to address it as neutrally as possible, but -( I DON'T LIKE MORALLY DUBIOUS ART THAT IS ACTVLEY CAUSING HARM TO PEOPLE MENTALLY OR PHYSICALLY- I hate it so much i don't want to see it AT ALL- AND HAVE STATED THIS BEFORE BUT THIS PERSON DID NOT ENGAGE WITH FULL CONTEXT OF MY MORALS.) there is no such evidence, substantiating this claim, this is just straight up slander. https://twitter.com/GalaxxAi/status/1627758261129601025

Literally accusing me of illegal and morally dubious behavior over "vibes." But its NOT ok for me to block someone over "vibes" in their words. or I'm doing a criminal behavior. A double standard. You can also see this person cutting off my context, again, so I could see why they would feel negatively about me saying I don't like it when people post things emotionally, and out of context, without thinking critically. Here is a link to my full post, which they did not reply to directly, or site correctly; https://twitter.com/CrunchyCaws/status/1574998020818493440 It is not my intention to put this person on blast, they have been through enough, and I know they just want no bad actors in their fandom, and I agree with the mission, nobody likes bad actors. This is why I dislike this in-fighting so much, we should be on the same side, but the effects of them being the inciting incident and slandering my character can no longer be ignored and I'm putting this all here in context for anyone looking for the full story, and if it goes any deeper. This is IT, thank you for your time if you went through this incredibly beefy read that I found largely unnecessary until I received significant harassment, and people literally trying to get me fired, or wishing actual death upon me as a result of me curating my space. I am putting out in an attempt to quell any lingering worries that I support any unscrupulous behavior. I DO NOT, I JUST CURATE CERTIAN WARRIOR CATS CHARACTERS, PEEVES, AND BEHAVIORS I DISLIKE SEEING, OUT OF MY TIMELINE.
