The curtain falls here

To those who stood by us — and to those who stood against us — thank you.

We know exactly what we've done, and we take back none of it. We are fully aware of what we've done, and we stand by every word we've said.

This is what we believe.

Our words are true because we let go of pain, anger, and frustration long ago. Nothing we said was driven by emotion, but by the will to express ourselves.

We never sought to be heroes, nor to punish those who wronged us. Their fate isn't ours to decide.

Karma will find them, as it always does.

One day, their actions will return to them. Not tomorrow, not next year, but inevitably.

Because what you give to the world always finds its way back.

If you live sorrounded only by evil, you'll become evil.

If you sorround yourself only with pain, you'll never stop hurting.

Those who are reading this and have found themselves caught in all of this chaos... you understand what we mean. You've seen the same storm we did.

About Dis and her followers we want to tell you one last thing:

Those people may look strong online, but in the real world, they're no different from us.

Just grains of sand in one endless desert. No one larger, no one shinier. We all share the same desolation, and the same scorching sun above us.

Now we are returning to our lives, to our friends and families. And leave this drama behind.

To Dis. To her followers. To the founder of the server himself. To anyone still watching from the shadows. We leave you with these final words, not out own, but truer than anything we could ever say:

He who fights monsters should be careful not to become a monster.

And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you.

Now look into the abyss and tells us,

what do you see?

We chose to take down the previous post. It didn't feel right to speak through someone else's pain. So now, we'll let these words speak for themselves:

Sadly, there are bad people out there, hiding behind masks of fake smiles and false courtesy.

When you face something too big to handle on you own, please don't face it alone. Reach out to someone you trust, or to a professional who can help you.

We believe everyone deserves a place in the community. No one should be excluded.

And yes, even Dis deserves a place in the community... but we won't tell you where.

Hi everyone. We hope you had a wonderful Halloween night.

Yesterday we chose silence, to not disturb the spirit of the holiday.

But today marks the final day you'll be able to reach out to us.

We completely understand, and we didn't take it as an attack.

Thank you so much for sharing that information with us.

Of course, in every ask we only tell a part of our truth, and we truly appreciate that someone is stepping forward and talking to us.

It means our words weren't spoken into the void. That they reached someone, and maybe left something behind.

So, thank you again for taking the time to tell us.

And no, you didn't sound rude at all. We answer every ask with the same resolve we had when we wrote our posts.

There was discussion about it after someone sent the twitter post to the server but after a while the mid said to stop talking about it to prevent drama from happening inside of the server

We understand wanting to keep drama away from the server to avoid unecessary tension or fractions. Especially when it's just simple arguments between members.

But this isn't that kind of drama.

This is about a moderator who abused their position, and a server owner who keeps enabling her.

This is about a mod who decided to attack someone because they wrote a story on a platform free from censorship, and even went as far as calling them a pedophile. A serious accusation against a minor.

And it didn't stop there.

She targeted artists who were simply posting their art, just because she didn't like it. Mephisto shippers were harassed, just because she paid for a service that anyone could use to "marry" a fictional character.

We don't judge those choices. Not until they start hurting our friends or others. But she crossed the line, and we acted accordingly.

Now she's convinced the owner to ban anyone she doesn't like or anyone who hangs out with us. People aren't even free to hang out with us anymore because they risk getting banned, and some already have. People who had nothing to do with this drama have been dragged into it.

So no, we don't care if this might start more drama.

What's happening is an abuse of power, and a massive, unjustified exclusion carried out by people who should be setting an example.

Yes, they may have contributed to the community and have been active members, but that doesn't give them the right to hurt others or do whatever they please.

You can't call it a community when you silence, ban whoever disagrees, and censor entire topics to protect one person's ego.

A moderator shouldn't take it out on weaker members.

And if they do?

Then they shouldn't complain when the same people they mistreated and excluded start speaking up.

And let's get something straight:

They might run the server, but they don't run the internet. People have the right to speak. To share. To exist without their permission.

If you can't talk about this on the server, talk about it somewhere else. They can't silence everyone.

They just don't want you to talk because the truth makes them look bad.

So hear us out, we're saying it again:

This whole mess started because a moderator abused her position and went after innocent people.

And now the ones who got hurt are the ones speaking the truth.

We're aware that nobody talks about this on Discord. Probably because it doesn't affect them directly, or maybe because they're just trying to protect themselves through silence. Unfortunately, several people have been banned just for speaking up. To defend one single person, the server's founder decided to get rid of anyone who could stand in their way.

Some people simply have more rights than others, and that's a sad truth that exists even outside of the internet. It doesn't matter if you're kind, respectful to everyone, always following the rules. One single word against someone "powerful" and you're done, cut off, isolated, erased from existence.

As for those unhealthy attachments some people have with certain characters, unfortunately, they exist. What hurts the most is that these people are often in a position of power, so others either listen to them or are forced to. These people live inside a bubble of obsession, and their behavior casts a bad light on everyone who happens to love the same characters.

We're supposed to be a community, which means sharing our love for the same characters, not attacking people just because they love what we love.

Whether it's Mephisto, Nemu, or Rin. Respect comes first.

It's perfectly fine to be passionate about a character, even to self-ship with them. But sometimes, it's healthy to step outside, breath some fresh air, and enjoy real life too.

We decided to speak up because there are others, just like us, who have felt uncomfortable dealing with certain people. We wanted to show that the Blue Exorcist community isn't just Dis and her followers with their unhealthy obsessions.

We're not a fandom made of weird or intolerant people. We're a fandom made of humans who simply want to share their love for a manga, an anime, and their interests.

And to you — the one who's still in the server — please, don't walk away from this series. Because Blue Exorcist isn't just them. It's all of us.

We absolutely don't take your question as an attack. We're totally open to those too, anyway.

If you're asking whether what we said or did might change anything, honestly, we don't know. Maybe things got a little better, maybe worse. But that's not really what matters.

Some battles are worth fighting even when you stand alone. Change doesn't happen overnight, and it doesn't come from just one or a few people. It starts with everyone.

In our small way, we tried to do something. And even if it didn't fix everything, it still reached people. It still meant something.

Maybe this is just the beginning of change. If someone else decides to carry the torch after we close the blog... If the people we've called out finally stop their reckless behavior... Then maybe what we did will have meant something.

We just hope that what we said left a small mark. For those who went through the same pain we did, and as a reminder that no one deserves to be treated like that again.

Thank you for asking, truly. It takes courage to speak up, and that deserves respect. But we understand those who choose to stay silent.

Someone pointed out that anonymous asks were turned off. We've fixed it now.

Before we leave this blog for good and close this chapter once and for all, we want to give you one last chance to speak your mind.

We'll stay here until Sunday, and then we're gone.

If you have something to say, anything, send us a DM or an anonymous ask.

Art and fandom should unite, not divide.

Use your voice.

We won't silence you.

We'll answer everything, even criticism.

Disclaimer: the previous post — the one with the apology — was written by someone who's been broken by this whole story. We decided to publish it anyway, because we believe everyone deserves a voice. Even those who think differently. What was broken can still shine.

Now it's our turn to speak, once and for all, because this will be the post before the real final one on this blog.

And by now, you already know where we stand.

We will not apologize.

We know what we did, and we know we're not in the wrong. We warned you about Dis. About who she really is.

We didn't speak out of frustration; that's long gone.

We spoke with convinction. We meant every word we said, because it's the truth.

If Dis decided to send her followers, or herself under anon, to attack other people, other Mephisto shippers on Twitter and Tumblr just to get us. That only proves our point.

If you friend has been targeted, stay strong and pass this message on them. Don't let one person intimidate you.

If you're still in the server and can't speak about this drama, come to us. We'll listen. We'll guide you.

To those who run the server, hear this one last time:

Banning people without any explanation, censoring topics, silencing Mephisto shippers who post their art, and writers who share their stories, it makes your so-called "community" a complete FAKE.

What you say, what you do. It's all false.

People shouldn't have to be afraid to speak. They shouldn't have to hide just because they love a character as much as Dis does. They shouldn't have to fear being banned just for talking to us.

Everyone deserves the freedom to express themselves and their creativity.

So no, we won't delete this blog.

We'll leave it here, for you.

You can come back and read our words whenever you want.

Deleting everything would mean admitting we were wrong. And we're not.

The choice is yours: ignore us. Criticize us. Mock us. Despise us if you want. But our words will remain.

We have no regrets for speaking our truth.

We're leaving the stage, not the fight.

Disclaimer: This post was written by someone who wanted to put an end to all this. However, not everyone among us shares the same view.

Hi everyone. We've been told that bringing this whole drama back has caused a lot of anxiety and fear about people's private information being exposed.

We want to be honest with you: it was never our intention. Please rest assured, we would never do anything to harm or expose people who have nothing to do with this.

We truly apologize for the stress and trouble we've caused. Looking back, we realize that most of our actions came from frustration - frustration at being falsely accused, at being unfairly excluded from spaces - rather than from genuine wish to defend those who went through the same as we did.

Our intentions were good, but we went too far. We think both sides did. We, by pushing things this far, and they, with their false accusations and their banning campaign.

We dragged you into this against your will. They wronged us, and in turn, we wronged you. For that, we're deeply sorry.

If we kept going like this, we'd be no different from the very people we were standing against. We don't hold any feelings for them anymore, but we do care about you. The other fans. We want you to feel safe. To have fun again. That's why we won't keep pushing this any further.

So, we've decided to close the curtain on this blog once and for all. Our other blogs will remain open, but you're completely free to ignore them.

From now on, we'll focus on our art and what brings us peace.

This drama has only caused pain and chaos for everyone involved. Both sides carry their share of blame, and that's why we'll be the first to let go.

We don't expect forgiveness. Healing takes time, and scars fade even slower. We just hope you can go back feeling safe, and find comfort in the spaces you love.

Maybe peace starts when someone decides to stop fighting first.

This whole drama has been dragging on for way too long. Sadly, it's not up to us. The people poisoning this fandom are still here. We've done our part trying to help people make sense of this mess.

Despite what Dis says, we are not the "p-word". We've never wished her harm. We've always been open to talk. But we also refused to stay silent when our friends were being targeted, that's exactly why we got banned.

Some artists stopped posting out of fear. Other people left the fandom entirely. It's heartbreaking to see how far it went.

So this is for everyone still here:

Don't let people like that discourage you from doing what you love. Don't let anyone make you feel small for creating. If this manga, this anime, this fandom means something to you, then keep sharing it. Post your art. Post your fictions. Post your blogs. Let your passion blossom and grow.

We don't owe Dis anything, nor do we need to be "respectful" of her delusions or her whims. Art is meant to be free. It belongs to everyone who loves it, not to those who try to control it.

We're artists too, for God's sake!

Every fandom has its rotten apples. Be careful who you trust. Don't just look at what they do for you, look at what they do to you. That's where the truth hides. We learned that the hard way.

This whole drama took a toll on us and our lives. Now, for the peace of our minds, we just want to leave it all behind and move on. We'll stop talking about it, at least for now.

So Dis. Consider this a warning: don't mess up again, or we'll rise from the ashes. We're watching.

Translated: don't harass anyone anymore, and quit using your little favoritism with the founder of the server to ban whoever you don't like. Do it again, and we'll be back supporting those you're trying to erase and isolate.

Probably, many of you won't side with us, or would rather stay away from the drama.

We just want to make one thing clear: we're not looking for anyone's approval. We're just here to share our side of the story and to warn you all about certain people.

Just like many of you, we want to build an inclusive community where no one gets attacked or silenced.

Dis, we don't wish harm upon you or your family. We only want you to realize the pain you've caused to many others.

Founder of the server, according to the basic rules of human decency, you owe the people you decided to involve an explanation. Instead, you chose to start a witch hunt, hurting countless others in the process. You're only making things worse for yourself and proving you're in the wrong.

We truly hope we can create a space where everyone can thrive and share their interests without resentment or fear.

This will be our last post for now. There might be more, here or on other platforms. That depends on how many people decide to speak up. We've said everything we wanted to say. It's up to you to decide whether to take a stand or not.

One last thing: we love this manga and anime deeply, and despite everything, we won't stop supporting it.

These posts are a collection of experiences and testimonies from several people who were either directly involved or dragged into it unwillingly.

We're just sorry that things had to go this way. Let's hope for a brighter future for the fandom.

If you've experienced something similar or want to share your side of the story, you can reach out. Every voice matters.

Disclaimer: this post was written by someone who has been involved in the drama since the very beginning. It's not meant to spread hate, but to raise awareness about what happened.

Hi everyone, I'd like to address a specific topic: the drama unfolding on the Blue Exorcist fandom's Discord.

Since May of this year, a woman named Dis has been harassing other users. It all started with a single link to a fanfic, which dealt with serious topics, intended to warn others. The fanfic's author was banned because of her accusations and even got called a pedophile. The author clearly wrote a note, but she didn't even bother to read it, accusing a minor of things they didn't do.

Dis is a 30-years-old woman who traveled to Japan specifically to purchase a service and marry Mephisto Pheles, one of the characters from Blue Exorcist. From that point on, she's been blackmailing and harassing anyone who shows interest in this character. People who shipped their characters with him or self-shipped received messages asking how they can "draw her husband with another woman/person." She's been the reason many people got banned from the Blue Exorcist server on Discord. Innocent people, as some of her victims (at least 20) have started to defend themselves.

Despite having no significant role on the server, she has connections with the moderators and even the founder himself, leading to permanent bans for those who "could threaten Dis and her marriage." This whole drama has been dragging on since before May. There are people who have suffered because of her, and her actions are serious enough to be reported to the police.

To everyone reading this: if you don't want any problems, are a Mephisto fan, or simply like Blue Exorcist, avoid that server and don't let some problematic people discourage you from this series.

Recently, over 30 people have been banned. Some were kicked out for no reason, others simply because they were hanging out with us. One person was banned just for defending a friend.

When people tried to ask the mods what was going on, they were blatantly ignored.

We believe all of this is connected to the same old drama involving Dis Pheles, who's been haunting this community since before May.

Apparently, in this server, following the rules isn't enough. When a mod messes up innocent people end up paying the price.

So here's the thing: Dis, if you've got a problem with us, have the guts to come to talk to us directly. Stop dragging random people into your mess. Some of them actually respected you, but your actions showed them your true colors.

We weren't planning to bring back this old drama, but honestly, staying silent would've meant letting this behavior slide.

To everyone defending her like she's some kind of saint: she's harassed artists over a fictional character, got people banned for no reason, and even called a minor a pedophile. Some basic critical thinking would make it obvious this behavior isn't normal.
