I need to start by saying I do not yet fully believe or support her!!!! My nuance will very likely be misconstrued as support so I need to make it plain that this is just my thoughts. (Also this is a serious post and I apologize for it being here as this is meant to be a comfort account, but it's too important. Skip this post if you're not looking to engage with discourse.)

First of all. YES it was a very poor apology. More centered towards the DW fanbase than the victims whose passiveness caused more harm. And there was some deflection present that I didn't like.

BUT. People are claiming it's a shit response because she didn't go into detail about all the claims and allegations surrounding her. what? first of all, a lot of extra claims springing up have no proof. And also, if she's taking a legal approach as she says, that means she cannot legally disclose intimate information about what's true or not until everything is sorted.

The DW fandom consists mostly of teens. Teens are very opinionated children who think in extremes. A lot of misinformation regarding controversies outside of the main one are being spread like Telephone by tiktok rant accounts. No, Qwel is not "suing victims", C+D letters are NORMAL for people who worked for someone and consented to signing an NDA. NDAs can't be signed without consent. There's no evidence that I can find for other minor claims such as that she "stole toon designs from ex-employees" or that she underpaid/abused employees, outside of screenshots of tweets floating around the community.

hey so. don’t do this.

“coming from a place of respect” there is nothing respectful about a comment like this. this is exactly why I say witch hunt, speculations and accusations harm the writing community as much as ai does, if not more.

I am not saying “you’re an asshole if you think a fic is ai”. I have come across fics that I believe were ai-generated. but instead of asking (accusing) the authors, I make my own decisions whether I’ll continue reading for the benefit of the doubt or quietly exit the fics and look for something else to read.

because with every accusation like this, there’s always a chance of a genuine, innocent writer getting wrongly accused.

last but not least, fanfic writers do NOT owe you anything. they write for themselves and their own enjoyment. their ao3 accounts are their houses and they were kind enough to let you in their houses. for free. (you get to read things for free.) you don’t go into other people’s houses and tell them “actually I think the way you decorate your room is sus. did you actually do it yourself or did you ask a robot to do it for you?”. THEY 👏🏻 DON’T 👏🏻 OWE 👏🏻 YOU 👏🏻 ANYTHING. and I say this as someone who is not a fan of ai fics. if you don’t like what you’re seeing, quietly leave.

Hunting for some coochie

Wrote a G up on his belt

I joined team mystery because of the legendary JB Fletcher, so I felt it appropriate for my first attack to be a tribute to Murder She Wrote. Please go and check out PushingUpRoses youtube reviews of the more entertaining episodes, as that is how I was introduced to it, and whether or not you like the show itself her reviews are quite funny and entertaining on their own.

People will strain every muscle in their body to stretch for reasons why it's not okay to see a character as Transfem, with all the vigor of a conservative, and then get offended when you imply there might be a reason why they feel that way

Let's all go to the party!
