Fat Gum’s Twinflame

It's been brought to my attention that anons have been posing as me, saying racist and homophobic shit.

Please know that I would never send hate, especially anon hate. I support my fellow LGBT+, and I support BIPOC.

Also if I wanted you to know it was me sending an ask.... I wouldn't use anon. I'd show you my face. This is my main blog so like?? there's no reason for me to use anon.

So I will.

@firestoneships is a pal of mine. She had sent me a message with @hopecountyisforlovers asking her “why she shipped with a Nazi”

I then saw this post on his account

To me, that seemed like he was trying to make a game outta harassing my friend. “Fun new activity” just made it seem childish and rude, so I blocked. To me, that was unnecessary harassment.

Firestone has gotten a lot of harassment over the years for other f/os, so I thought that’s what was happening again.

I then also blocked @norwoodsuites because of the reply in that post, and I was told you and your partner were the same person. (In my head at the time it made sense, like one was a main blog, and the other was a sideblog— I was wrong, and I apologize for my confusion)

I was upset someone was trying to be mean to someone I cared about. Wouldn’t you?? If someone came after your friend wouldn’t you go to their aid first??

So yeah... I did vague. And I should know better. I was upset someone was trying to start an unnecessary fight with my friend. I feel like that happens a lot in the community.

My anger got in the way of me thinking rationally.

I got two anons, and deleted them. Thinking it was over. If that blocked the anons, I’m sorry, I don’t know how to undo that??? I don’t think deleting does that, but I could be wrong— mobile has been a struggle lately.

But then the callout post. (By @moth-selfships)

I have responded to the post. And you may look at it in the replies.

No one had come to me at all to talk to me in how I was in the wrong. I then apologized for not remembering my dms were only open to people I followed. I’ve had bots dm before, and I don’t want that. I only got two people here legit talking to me about it, and I appreciate them.

I had turned anon off because I was getting anons, along with weird ones. (One saying “poo” for example)

I was willing to have this conversation. I’m not afraid to admit I’m wrong and need to learn.

I explained I knew next to nothing about the character. I know nothing about CoD, and have never played one of those games ever. Firstone and I talked, but never about him. It was usually about her Pokemon f/os, Thrax, and my f/os.

At first, I had forgotten about him and who he was. Until I saw his actual name again. Then I remembered Firestone telling me about him one time. Saying he was an ex-nazi. But my understanding was, was that he was bad, but was no longer bad. That’s all I knew. I had assumed he saw the errors in his ways, and become good.

CoD never interested me. Still doesn’t. So I never really bothered to look into him or anything. I just trusted that he was a good guy now.

I trust my friends.

But now I can understand why that is still hurtful.

I only blocked two people, the two mentioned above. If you’re blocked by me, it may be for another reason. But the two I blocked are unblocked.

This was a huge mistake and misunderstanding. I interpreted what was happening wrong, and thought people were being mean for no reason.

I can understand how the character makes others uncomfortable and upset, and I apologize that I didn’t realize my errors sooner.

To the Jewish people reading this, I apologize for hurting you. An apology won’t fix it, but it’s what I have. And my ability to learn better.

I don’t expect anyone to forgive me.

I’m not afraid to admit I was wrong, and am trying to learn and open up about it. It’s not easy.

Again, to the few people who have talked to me and explained things— thank you. I appreciate you coming forward to talk to me and explain things. I value that greatly.

And finally—

And instead of anyone talking to me about it, you made this.

No one has sat down to have this conversation with me. I don’t fucking know anything, and I literally don’t know anything except what @firestoneships has told me.

I literally have in my carrd that people can’t expect me to know people’s f/os.

Please have this conversation with me.

I’m trying to do my own research.

I am grateful to the people who have talked to me, I appreciate you if you have.

I don’t look up people’s f/os most of the time if it’s not a series I don’t know.

If there is a picture of this character in the carrd, then I apologize that I haven’t looked at it as Firestone is an friend. We don’t talk about this character, so I know almost next to nothing about him.

Like I’ve said, I’m reading his wiki page, and trying to learn.
