So with Oliver quitting because of the harassment, my thoughts were all over the place. I felt scared, confused, frustrated, sorry and angry, very angry.
Sure there was a part of me that wondered "what now Alex? What about all the projects? What will the smcu become?"
But a far greater part thought of all the real life people that were harmed throughout this harassment.
I befriended my fair share of smcu role players and I'll NEVER shut up about how much they mean to me.
Oliver successfully drafted some of the best people out there that shared their love for this silly universe, that showed their passion and solidarity till the end.
That created and created and created.
Lore obviously, but most importantly memories, comfort, growth, love.
So the fact that some obnoxious asshole thought it would be okay to hurt ANY of them is just the cherry on top.
If any of you fuckfaces are reading this, either stop harrassing people IN GENERAL and GET A FUCKING LIFE or you can send me, Eri ( theo ) or Diana ( dustin ) the hate and harassment but don't you fucking dare touch any other members.
Your actions have consequences on real life people, and the consequence for the ones you've done so far is lifelong enemies.
Remember that behind that screen of yours, you're just flesh and bones with apparently no soul. Thank you for ruining our fun.
I like to think that I tend to go easy on people, I prefer being passive because I HATE hurting people more than anything.
But I draw the line when it comes to the people I love.
The only reason I ever committed any kind of violence irl was to defend my loved ones, and I'll proudly do it again because of love, because human connections makes us do the craziest things, no matter what the consequences are.
Putting this aside, I'd like to add that I faced an anxiety attack because of this.
And I'm not saying this for pity since it's nobody's fault inherently, I've been stressed out in general for personal reasons and this was just the final straw.
Thankfully however I have one of the most amazing friends ever that helped me through it (im genuinely so grateful to her, a literal angel bro) and she recommended that I take a few days off of all of this.
For my mental health's sake.
- I'll be taking a break for an unknown amount of time
- fuck the people that caused the harassment
- I love you guys and thank you for everything <3
Ps: if any of you guys want to chat privately, my DMS will still be open :)
