CONTENT WARNING: This post draws attention to someone in the fandom who labels themselves a proshipper but doesn't have it on their profile. Some nsfw words is visible in the screenshots so please read with caution.
Edit: Nerm has been proven to be more problematic than just proshipping. I won't necessarily refer to him as a pedophile, but without a shadow of a doubt, he has groomed multiple people in the past, even if it was non-sexual/romantic; people were hurt by his actions, and he has swept them under the rug by never talking about this on his blog. His mental illnesses need to stop being used to excuse how abhorrently toxic a person he can be as a lot of BAD behaviors were done when he was an adult. I believe people can change, but this change is not being made when he's STILL making nasty jokes in a random group call about necrophilia not being bad, pushing scat fetishes onto someone animal character in a whiteboard who stated they were uncomfortable, then proceeding to tell that user to have a miserable life because they didn't want to be friends cause of his kinks. If you cared so much about improving, you would tell everyone on your blog about what happened in the past if you were so innocent. You would make a new post explaining everything and letting people know what you've done before, the jokes you've made. I don't care about the stuff he did as a minor, the PROBLEMATIC ISSUE IS THESE LITTLE BURSTS OF BEHAVIORS STILL KEEP GOING AS AN ADULT. You're 22, Nerdy. You have every ability in your body to not interact with minors on your blog. Half the people drawing gift art for you are minors or people who are against proshipping, and I found out that fact EASILY. You could have gone to their profile and blocked them if you didnt want to interact with minors or break people's boundries, it's not that hard. If you also don't want to interact with minors, you would stop going into servers without an age range and even 16-17+ servers. Take MORE responsibility. Make your blog 18+ and monitor it.
Sadly, this post needs to be made, and I am not at all encouraging harassment, in matter of fact, I BEG you to not go harass the user mentioned.
@/nerdyjunior is secretly proship / darkfic and has admitted it on his nsfw locked twitter account [ nerdafterclass. ] Nerdy is not posting proship art; he is not posting darkfic content, but this doesn't disregard the fact that he DID admit to being proship/darkfic, being ok with proshippers interacting, and ignoring DNIs because it's not a public thing.
Coping mechanisms is not something you need to be transparent about most of the time. Still, proshipping/darkfic is a VERY common thing people are AGAINST, even if you claim it's a comfort for your trauma, so being transparent is the LEAST you can do so people can choose if they still wanna follow you.
I'm not trying to demonize this user's mental problems, yes, it's really fucking depressing he's going through what he's going through. I'm just more disappointed he chooses to associate himself with the proship community. I'm not demonizing venting, but this was a choice to admit to being a proshipper and still interact with people who tell you not to interact if you're one while being rude toward those who pointed out that fact.
That is all I have to say, really. I don't want to cause a ruckus or uproar, I just rather warn people, those who want to block make their decisions, and no one start harassing the user mentioned. No death threats, no comments toward him, no being aggressive, just block and move on with your day.
