i cant even describe how upset the alex kister situation makes me. not because i had an attachment to the thing he made, not in the slightest, but its because it is a direct parallel to what i went through like a year ago. down to the manipulation disguised as playful banter so you cant pick up that hes coaxing someone into something at first glance and everything. it was all just so deeply real to me and it hurt to read. seriously. its completely fucking terrifying to see this shit happen over and over and over again with no end in sight, for kids to look up to creatives in a field they admire only to be completely churned out and crushed by those creatives as nothing but perverse objects they can manipulate. if youre a fan of what kister makes and youre upset that you cant like his stuff anymore, you are the lucky one in the scenario. i mean this sincerely when i say you have lost nothing. this dude had unimaginable amounts of power and pressure over the hopeful young kids he manipulated. his victims are getting death threats for speaking out about this shit because of how big his platform is. the children he manipulated? that he abused and took advantage of? they are the ones who are risking losing everything by speaking out about this. the first priority shouldnt be mourning the fact that "my favorite analog horror series is tainted forever now :(" it should be supporting the victims of this. always. and if you dont believe them just because your favorite little analog horror boy makes suuuch good content and could never do such a thing? from the bottom of my heart, as someone whos gone through the same ordeal and all the consequences that come with speaking out about it, fuck you.

If you’re POC disabled/ don’t see your self in common trans discussions feel free to add on.
