Callout for an actual p*dophile

I don’t like making callout posts, but this is a callout for someone who used to be semi-active in this community, and I want to make sure he never comes back so he can’t hurt anyone here.

I’m sure some of you know about @adorkablemarina (who I can’t @), who also ran the @dln-005-ice​ account, right? Well, there’s definitive proof that he has asked real minors, some as young as 12, for nudes in exchange for art.

The point of this post is not to cause drama, or to grasp at straws or reach for reasons to shame someone because I don’t like him. In fact, I don’t really give a shit about this person in particular, I just want everyone to stay safe.

Here’s a list of links with evidence I found:

This is the link I was sent by a person I won’t name when I first asked them about this situation, upon seeing accusations of p*dophilia on a public account on a website I won’t name. For this person’s safety.

Here’s a comprehensive Google Document about the situation. While I have to disagree with the sentiment of “anyone who ships two robots made by the same person is shipping inc*st” I’m not really here to argue that point.

In addition to that, there are several YouTube videos of other people who have seen this evidence as well, and in fact in other circles this information is pretty easily-available, but I just want to show that this is not me with some kind of grudge, I barely know him anyways.

If you see this person anywhere, report his account. Don’t harass him, don’t do anything like that. Just report, block, and keep the minors in your life safe. Or, if you are a minor, if an adult asks you for nudes, that’s a huge red flag, please don’t interact with people like that!

Also, watch out- he is prevalent in the Animal Jam community and the OKKO community. He also runs this blog: @ask-carol-kincaid​.

I’m gonna be real, I don’t really give a shit about the art thing. I’m not about to spend my precious time getting mad over things I can’t control. People are going to draw stuff. Some of these links have information about this. That’s not what I’m trying to bring up here. I care about literal p*dophiles who ask for nudes from minors.

Please share this and any of the above links so that everyone can stay safe!

And here is some examples of his art under the cut, so you can recognize his art style if he goes posing as a new account. All art was made by his DeviantART account adorkablemarina.

RP RESOLUTIONS

End call-out culture. If someone is genuinely a danger to society at large, that’s not a call-out. If someone did you dirty, uses a FC you don’t like, or acted shady to a friend of a friend of yours, that’s a call-out. In 2018, let’s move past the era of airing out our dirty laundry and the mob mentality that comes with it. I have seen some genuinely disturbing people on this site. But I’ve also seen people who, through a misunderstanding or one ignorant ( but not actively hateful ) post have had to leave the RPC, abandon their muse, etc, and no amount of apology is ever seen as enough. 

More radical love. Loving yourself and loving others. If someone gives you anxiety, quietly remove them from your dashboard. If you really love seeing someone on your dash, let them know. If you really really love a certain style of writing, whether it’s seen as purple, basic, or “wrong” in someone else’s eyes, allow yourself to enjoy and be proud of what you’ve written. 

No more conflating graphics with quality, but on the flipside, no more shaming people who love to put effort into their graphics. The presence or lack thereof of some ultra-hyped theme, insane graphics, and the most beautiful icons you’ve ever seen should no longer be the reason why or why not you like a blog. 

Friends ≠ Exclusivitiy. This was something that I saw a lot of at different times this year. Someone being called “cliquey” or “elitist” because they had a well-established group of friends who they really loved writing with. Unless they’re being actively exclusionary and responding to you with stuff like “I’m sorry, you’re not Stacy so I don’t like you,” just let it go. Just as you don’t OWE anyone plots you don’t want, etc –– so too do other people have the right to want or not want to write with whomever they please. Unless they’re being actively rude to you, this should be left in 2017 as something to message people about. 

MORE POSITIVITY!!! Seriously, any kind of positivity. Friendly anons, randomly tagging people in stuff, sharing promos with lovely messages in the tags… just be nice to each other. If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all. 

No More Hatred of the Writers. Okay, maybe this one is a personal one, but the trend/phenomenon that’s on tumblr of hating the writers of shows, books, media where your muse comes from. If you don’t agree with something, that’s fine, but it’s become some sort of shorthand and accepted understanding that if you’re in the fandom, you have to wholeheartedly disagree with every point the writers make. Isn’t that tiring? 

Okay, I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!! Let’s head into 2018 right.

"Quick!" Flash hopped in to hug the speedy bot as if he had been away for a very long time "I missed you, bun!" he said while giving Quick a big cheek smooch and snuggling close

“Heh, you big ole sap, I’ve been away for what, two days?” He hugged Flash back, giving him a big kiss on the temple. “You’re such a cute guy, y’know that?” He gave Flash another kiss, and another and another.

“I love you so much, Flashie.”
