Over the course of the past two years, i noticed a shit ton of extremely obsessive people targeting me. And it's not just my paranoid brain making me believe things, i've counted at least 4 or more people actively constantly talking about me to other people, stalking my social media, and keeping tabs on me at all times. I have RECEIPTS of extremely obsessive behavior directed towards me and even by extension to some of my friends, only because they're associated with me.
It's gotten to the point where people actively shit talk me to each other behind my back on social media, and try to turn people against me.
Wanna know why?
OVER CRAP I DID WHEN I WAS A LITERAL CHILD! Yes! The drama from almost 3 years ago where i was facing straight up targeted harassment from the hands of the Pico's School community still follows me today.
People act like i still believe and behave the same when i was barely 16 years old. I absolutely do not, i've grown severely as a person, and you'd know that if you actually got to know me instead of stalking my social media profiles.
I'm not a fictional character, i'm not an internet celebrity, i'm not a role model. I'm just a guy. I'm a small artist from Newgrounds that posts his stuff because some people are interested in the stories i want to tell with various characters. Stop dehumanizing me to justify stalking me using shitty behavior from years ago.
Like, when i say dehumanizing, i'm not kidding. People are claiming that i'm an abuser, all because i dumped them as friends. Which, by the way. All the people claiming i treated them badly in the past have some serious fucking skeletons in their closets, and i have actual proof of it. However, this is not a callout document towards specific people, i'm better than giving someone some attention so any people i use as examples will have their usernames and pfps censored.
Some people out here are way too comfortable painting me as some kind of internet bogyman. Constantly repeating that I'm a hypocritical and bad person, yet i have to see actual proof of me ever doing any of the mentioned things. Yes, i know i'm not perfect, i'm wrong sometimes. Quite fucking often, actually. But instead of moving on from any shit take i make online, people latch onto it and add it to their list of things to shit on me for. It's pretty damn pathetic that people are so unoccupied with anything productive they waste time obsessing some nobody from the internet.
If i had an actual platform and a fan base, i'd kind of get it. Haters and all. But i literally have no platform. I'm a small irrelevant artist. I can barely even defend myself from disgusting claims because of that.
Let's see the (anonymous) hall of shame of people who love wasting their time hating me for no fucking reason.
This specific person is quite the fuckin funny story. They hate me ONLY because i dared to establish boundaries with them like two years ago because they were VERY overly attached to me.
Yeah sure buddy, i'm the bad one for having boundaries. And a clout chaser because i dared to be friends with someone with a large follower count. For context, this person is much younger than me, and their constant DMs like that came off to me as uncomfortable. They'd also called me their "big brother" and told me they love me... Yikes. No, don't do that towards me.
I'm okay with being called Unc or Uncle, but that's cause... That's my username. But also, because of my personality. Doesn't mean i actually want to be a part of your virtual family or something.
A particular (DIFFERENT) person who never shuts up about me and makes a lot of claims they have "proof" for, yet they yet have to grow a pair to try and post anything that actually proves anything. Hell, they haven't posted things that are even bullshit. Straight up claims with NOTHING to back them up. Not even stupid screenshots.
I don't understand the need everyone has to call me out publicly like that. Let alone with a whole document. Personal grudges don't warrant any callouts unless you're petty as shit. I don't cause any harm to the public by not getting along with some people. Callouts are to bring attention to harmful behavior towards the larger community, not to whine about someone you simply dislike.
This dude is so butthurt they even put me on their DNI list. I could go on all day about them in particular, i have quite a hefty folder of them not shutting up about me on their socials, but i will spare you the displeasure for now.
Now, to address some rumors.
EDGE IS A MANIPULATOR/GASLIGHTER!
When did i ever manipulate or gaslit anyone? If you wanna say shit like that provide something to back it up.
EDGE IS TOXIC AND IS HIPOCRITICAL!
Again, most people mention is me making a stupid tweet. Yes, i make stupid tweets. People lose IQ points when they use twitter. Don't take tweets so seriously because chances are next time i log on i don't think the same way anymore. As for the hypocrisy, like i said, i'm fucking stupid sometimes.
This may also come from the old days of my discord server, which by the way, went through some big changes and updates to the rules not so long ago. I admit i should have never said anything bad about the art of someone i didn't know in my server and put them up to jeering from other server members. It was incredibly shitty and irresponsible of me to do, and i made sure to at the time reach out to the person and personally apologize to them. This was dealt with two years ago now...
EDGE TREATS PEOPLE BADLY!
There are some people i get along with, and some people i do not get along with. Easy as that. Whenever i cut off someone, its always for a good reason. For example, one of my ex friends recently got outed as dating a minor while being 20 years old. I obviously completely cut them off for that. Cutting someone off is something very serious to me, and i don't do it because i'm a dick. I do it if i felt you've treated me or other people badly or did something unspeakable.
EDGE HATES FEMALE CASSANDRAS!
No i don't. This sentiment comes exclusively from how i say i see canon Cassandra. I see canon Cassandra as ambiguously gendered. People just assume i hate other Cassandras because of that opinion. I'm not saying your Cassandra can't be female. Do whatever the fuck you want, i don't care as long as you aren't annoying or doing anything harmful.
EDGE IS TRANSPHOBIC!
I'm not. Once again, this comes from a sentiment of my 2022 self. I was literally 16 and hanging out in some HORRID edgy circle at the time. Like, full of actual transphobes and borderline nazis. I've left said circle LOOONG ago and i developed some significantly more mature opinions and takes on the topic of transgender poeple. I have no ill will or any sort of bigotry towards them at all.
EDGE IS A CLOUT CHASER!
What clout? When i publically state an opinion, it's usually because i actually think that way. I'm an extremely honest person and that lead me to actually unintentionally ticking some people off with how little i beat around the bush. I don't say things for clout because i just always speak my mind.
And now, some weird assumptions about my love life, apparently.
No, me and RamenNoodiles aren't dating. We were never romantically involved in ANY way. Ray was just a close friend to me. Surprise surprise, i actually have a partner, and i'm not all that big on dating people over the internet anyway.
Its moronic to claim people are dating OVER A ROBLOX SCREENSHOT and even claim grooming was involved. The ages are even incorrect too, Raymond is only a year and a few months older than me. When i was 17, he was 19. Our age difference barely crosses two years.
In short, don't be a weirdo towards me. Don't assume things about me when you haven't even actually spoken to me and stop stalking my social media. I want to stay out of drama purely because i'm way to damn tired to put up with crap like that. I just want to make art and have fun.
TLDR; i made this post because i wanted to dissolve some stupid claims against me, as well as remind people i changed heavily as a person over the past two years or so.
