but for those who need to be caught up - so there was this person who used to be in the animation industry, named Ang. Atherist on twitter, if that sounds a little more familiar. Did work with Vivziepop even.
Ang had a private and locked account where they drew sexual vent art. As a CSA and rape survivor (they were separate incidents iirc, could be wrong), they obviously had a lot to vent about.
But one day, they got involved in a discord server. One person in particular really attached to them. Sent them all sorts of lavish gifts, etc. Both that person and the discord gave Ang red flags, so, after a while, they tried to break it off.
Creepy abusive fuck didn't like that. Spilled the beans on Ang's private account. Started up a whole thing where they stirred up fandomentalist creepfucks into the harassment campaign they're so well known for
they made it so bad that they got Ang blacklisted from animation, fired from their Cartoon Network job, and basically.... never let up, really, for four years or so
this would be bad for anyone, but especially for Ang, whose health is in very much not a good way and so they were relying on that health insurance to literally stay alive
They've tried for years now to scramble for ways of living, like off of kofi and such, but, well. The constant harassment campaign and slowly dying has caught up to them.
And they just posted recently that they were shutting off all their kofi stuff, all the places where people could donate to them, and were just going to accept death
and it's just.... god. i've donated to them before. been rooting for them. it's a fucking tragedy that this may very well how it'll end, and the abusers who kept up this shit, who spread it around, won't get anything coming to them
and it's like.... this is why i give such a shit about what should never have evolved to be more than stupid fucking ship wankery. Why i can't believe the bullshit of "oh both sides are as bad as the other" or "it's just terminally online stuff"
a person has been slowly dying for four years because some abusive fuckhead decided to use their private vent art against them and stir up all the other wannabe abusive fuckheads
Yeah. Like, only thing I could do in this situation to help even a little bit was when i've given them money before, and it's just.... it wasn't enough
so if this person dies, the blood is literally on that abuser and fandomentalist hands. which you know... that's a place no group of people can come back from.
And while I am above such people in that I don't wish or intentionally try to inflict harm on others, I will say that if a person who thinks like that gets hit by a bus, very little of value is lost.
"They're not even dead." I thought the whole point of giving a shit about other people was not having to wait for the body to be in the ground now???? (Nevermind, you know. The.... actual impending death?)
I hate how much they justify the abuse and the death threats even when the "evidence" is just something regarding fiction and mostly from heresay like wtf
You also know exactly what kind of terminally online shitstain of a human they are when they start talking 'smart', aka they sound like they're regurgitating a thesaurus
> rotbag of a human facsimile: are they dead? > literally everyone else with a soul: hey, that's kind of rude as fuck and really incosiderate > rotbag: BUT I WAS JUST ASKING GENUINELY > James, breathing through my teeth: it doesn't matter how genuine you were being. it was still very rude and incosiderate.
> rotbag mcgee: It’s not my fault that others took the worst faith interpretation of my question and ran with it. I see why they did but it’s not my fault.
fucking rotbag is trying to go "are they dead" and "are they dead yet" are "extremely" different sentences, and refusing to admit that either is very inconsiderate and rude, so
we get it, you're a miserable leftist that knows everything. SOMEONE IS FUCKING DYING, AND YOU CAN'T GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF YOUR OWN ASS FOR LIKE 10 SECONDS.
Probably even more of them than will actually admit to it, because some of them are more aware that to certain perspectives - namely, to people who are not actually ghouls - wanting someone to die and actually engineering their death because you're chafed about the kind of art of fictional characters they draw might look as though your soul is putrid
I've said it before and I'll say it again, but I wonder how many antis are anti-death penalty for criminals, but pro-driving people to suicide and lethal poverty over fanart, and have absolutely no perception of the irony
Like... I wasn't angry anymore, I was just massively disturbed. People like this EXIST. People entirely devoid of empathy over lines on paper made to look like two very stylized figures having sex.
laces fingers together. so, for those who don't know the entire story - Holly Meadow Disch and Jay Goldstein were the ones who initially kicked off the harassment shit against Ang. But a dude called Kyle Carrazzo was who let it pick up steam by spreading their bullshit in the industry
now, holly apparently doesn't have an easily findable social media presence, and Jay locked down tight ages ago as far as I can remember because of this
predictably, the comments were full of outrage about Kyle's presence, or just alerting people to the shit he's pulled. (He's also apparently just a shitty person to work under.) Youmacon decided, rather than making a statement of any kind, they'd just. hide literally all the comments. and lock the comments.
today in unsurprising news, one of the biggest anti-Ang contingent (he's defended Jay Goldstein and Kyle Carrozza a fuckton), one Tony Goldmark has a kiwifarms
I was trying to figure out if they like. are afraid he's gonna sue them for breach of contract or something if they did get rid of him. (not that it excuses it but yk, I DUNNO HOW THESE THINGS WORK)

It’s not my fault that others took the worst faith interpretation of my question and ran with it. I see why they did but it’s not my fault.However, Youmacon hasn't commented on anything and their contact page is apparently not working anymore.
