i know many of us are seeing the past 5-3 months and everything avid has posted/said during this time and it's being recontextualized and thus, many will probably want to claim things like "i knew he was lying about he harassment because every time he started it"

and i get it, i will get to my thoughts on in later, but PLEASE be mindful that that is a very VERY dangerous thinking process to go towards, and it very much leans into victim blaming. you can start a flirting encounter and feel uncomfortable later and want it to stop. you can flirt with someone for a long time and suddenly be hit by a feeling that it's not ok with you. if there's one thing we're not gonna do is spread victimblamy rethoric, same were not gonna be transphobic, ok?

now. NOW.

it would be incorrect to say avid just "started the flirting" and felt uncomfortable later

please everyone remember how MUCH he pushed the aviscott ship early on. coming up with the siredaddy thing and song on stream and encouraging it. ACTIVELY pushing the romantic plot between them. when scott claimed the beacon kiss was on the cheek avid was the one who texted scott if the canon could be an actual kiss or if "they could make tongue canon"

in christmas smp and sbk, whenever scott flirted with other people-because it's SCOTT, he quite literally flirts with all his friends and enjoys flirty characters- i remember avid actively showing up and putting himself in the middle and acting pouty/upset if scott didnt include him

and it was these two attitudes that ACTUALLY put me off when i saw his statement about being "aggressively flirted with"

i felt like if they had had a change of heart, they could have easily talked it out with who i assumed he was referring to, aka scott, ESPECIALLY considering that for multiple weeks before that scott had not actively flirted in character with avid in sbk , misadventures or when he did the bannerfall cameo

it felt disingenuous and calculated in how it was worded, as well as his following discord message that was shared by others

it felt clear enough to implicate someone and yet vague enough to be able to claim someone was "parasocial" if you ever pointed it out (a thing he DID btw. he actually subtweeted a less than 400followers account for posting about noticing the elephant in the room)

anyways all that is to say

please be careful about victim blaming speech in these following days. but please be aware that avid was, according to most of the statements Painting Himself As A Victim When He Was Not One

While the harm theyve done to their friends is awful, I would really like it if people also took the time to examine the narrative that avid has pushed about gay men and mlm shipping in the space.

Especially since the flight started, i feel like there has been a lot of hate towards especially mlm shippers in the name of "supporting marginalised genders" and i really do feel like the things avid has said about shipping since vampires finished has been a big driving force behind this.

I also remember people freaking out about Avid and Scott no longer following each other.

Suddenly, with all the stuff with Avid and Marm, it's starting to make sense.

“Grace says he would like half of dome to be water.”

“Oh, is necessary for humans to have large amounts of water question?”

Small Eridian equivalent of a sigh. “No. Not needed for life. In fact Grace will die if he falls in water and does not get out.”

“Tell him we give him water in containers that won't kill him. Lots lots lots of water on Erid for Grace to drink.”

“No. Grace say he want water on ground. Also want it with excess sodium chloride compound so it will be unhealthy for drink.”

“Grace want this liquid for celebration.”

“Of course.” They scan it. “You have wrong liquid. This contain compounds which are poisonous for humans.”

“Yes yes yes. Grace say humans like feeling of being slightly poisoned.”

There's no way it gets worse. Lies and manipulation check. False rape accusations check. Literal supervillain plans of taking down and hurting others cc's check. There's NO way it can get worse.

...

I swear if Scott comes on stream and says something like Avid and Marm tried to get me to break up with Cam or something you'll see me on the news.
