So it’s come to my attention that one particular RPer is posting IMs and attemtping to influence people and make them hate me
They’ve even gone so far as to screenshot IMs DISPLAYING MY URL and cut-and-paste them to paint me in a highly negative light while showing themselves as the victim.
Now, unlike them, I actually have class and I refuse to openly ‘Name and Shame’ people in an attempt to perpetuate and direct hatred towards another RPer, but that doesn’t mean I can’t share my story.
It started with a drabble. I tagged this RPer in a drabble because I misread the tags on our thread to incinuate that they shipped a certain pairing, obviously I was wrong because said RPer IMed me to tell me they didn’t like the drabble and they didn’t ship the pairing. I informed them of my obvious misinterpretation and deleted the post.
Said RPer than received an anon message they believed was me (it was NOT me) and replied with a rather scathing and implicating response. This was promptly followed with a screenshot of our IMs (my URL thankfully hidden) and a vague attack on me that, when I IMed them, they claimed was ‘just a request for feedback’. Still, I let the matter drop.
Then I wake up to see my IMs full of contempt for DARING to share MY DRABBLE with another RPer. First of all, my drabbles are MY WORK, no one owns them but me, and no one gets to dictate who I share them with, especially when they decide to throw them back in my face and tell me they don’t like them.
The next argument was that I ‘@’d’ them specifically. I explained that yes, I @’d them and only them because a lot of RPers have anxiety and don’t like being tagged in the same thing as others who RP the same muse.
We then went around in circles with said RPer refusing to admit that they had NO RIGHT to come into my IMs and dictate who I share MY WORK with. I could post the IMs showing you the ‘petulant child’ responses about ‘but you @’d ME not this other person’ but unlike said RPer, I’m not going to shame them more than they’ve already shamed themselves.
And when it became clear that I had a logical reason for doing things, they suddenly remembered they have ‘Mental Illness’ which was supposed to somehow excuse the fact that they came into my IMs and abused me for daring to have Intellectual Copyright over MY OWN WORK.
Now they’ve publicly posted cropped, selective IMs from me, from when I finally grew tired of them using ‘but I have mental illness’ as a reason to aggressively attack me and abuse me, to generate hate and encourage their followers to send hate to me, and our mututal followers to hate and block me.
On top of that, not only did they attack me, they’ve also abused one of my RP partners for posting the drabble I shared with them.
If you see said posts about me, displaying IMs and my URL, please also consider this. Also I have the complete, UNEDITED IM log showing both sides, I just refuse to be a petulant, vindictive, hateful child and post them.
