Will

i wanna start by saying that i don't agree with or condone any of the harassment against choco. the christian edit (i'll explain that later) was immature, as is sending anon hate. i will not be going into the nathan/mrfruitcake OR the dove/terra drama, bc i could not gleam enough info about it, nor do i think it's necessary to make my point. that being said, what choco has done as a result is ALSO wrong — and, i would argue, in some ways, worse — and they deserve to be held accountable. so! let's start with the main issues i have.

THE STROBES. choco likes to send strobes to people for seemingly any reason (or for no reason at all, as in the 4th image), and does not have a problem with hiding strobes in their posts and baiting people to click on them. i should not have to explain why this could be dangerous, and is just generally irresponsible.

THE DOXXING. or rather, the threat, intent, and encouragement to doxx. and them teaching others how to do it. also trying to swipe IPs. and trying to make a game out of doxxing by putting it up to votes. again, irresponsible and dangerous.

and then there's these. idk where to put them but i feel like it says something about their character.

most of this is being done over a christian edit of a character they like, mirmo. i will not share the edit because i think it's immature, but it's an edit of that 'sonic was once lost' meme, with mirmo instead of sonic. that's the edit.

their defense for this behavior? they don't want to be seen as a "doormat" for antishippers. they view the (threat of) doxxing and strobes as the natural consequence for them. they believe it's an equal and proportional response.

i disagree with that heavily. i do not believe being FULLY anti-harassment is being a doormat. i do not want people to be doxxed over an edit of a meme. the people that harassed choco to begin with are in the wrong, yes, but so is choco.

and i loathe that there are so many proshippers defending them/their actions under the guise of "not being a pushover" or "bullying the bullies"! being proship IS being anti-harassment. if you are proship and are pro-harassing these people, you are not proship. you just like problematic fiction. you don't bully people and target randoms and threaten to SEND RANDOM EPILEPTIC PEOPLE STROBES just because other people are harassing you, you BLOCK and REPORT the people harassing you. that's not being a doormat, or a pushover, it's being a rational, humane person.

Not only is stalking someone's accounts in order to gain personally identifiable information on them a low move, doxxing is punishable by law in the US. Under multiple statutes. Seriously.

Sending strobes to someone in order to cause physical harm to them is, also, going to be something that you can potentially get prosecuted for. Think serving peanuts to someone who has a peanut allergy despite them telling you that they have a peanut allergy. It's potentially deadly to the victim and, seeing choco's statements, they do not care. In fact, that is their intent.

Choco, I have you blocked so in all likelihood you won't see this. But this is disgusting behavior to display and I cannot fathom how anyone is still defending you after you do this stuff. Not to mention this image in the original post???

"You deserved it" is that not 1) victim blaming and 2) in this more niche area of the internet, the same fucking thing I have seen antis tell to proshippers????

As an addendum to anyone else, do not do this shit and then expect to be welcome here. Do not defend Choco and their actions and expect to be welcome here.

Do not give this person your support.

A dm I was sent of this screenshot by a pal. We have never made fun of someone’s sexual trauma but they certainly have. It’s very easy to find, on Gravekandy’s Tumblr.
