Huh, same person sending you asks about oblivion and crim and all them was also trying the same with that sai parody blog, and must be annoyed by getting basically the same negative response as you give. If people feel that strongly why don't they just do it themselves? Honestly.

What I find most bizarre about this is that neither of us has a particularly wide reach. This account has twenty followers. What did they hope to accomplish even if I had chosen to take it more seriously?

Had a dream there was a streaming service dedicated to CD Call crit content

That exists already, it's called YouTube.

In regards to Patty's "lie about your age" post, I think it's important to note that shes talking to a specific subset of a subset of teenagers. I don't think shes talking to minors in general, or even horny teens or whatever. But instead, shes talking specifically about the small group of teenagers that are drawn to adults despite their best interest, and those for whom this is an overwhelming urge.

As uncomfortable of a topic as this can be, it is important to keep in mind that there are teens out there who will never stop pursuing interactions with adults. Obviously this IS NOT IN ANY WAY A GOOD THING, but simply telling them that "you should NEVER be in these kinds of spaces PERIOD" will never stop a certain percentage of these people, it'll just drive them further into the DMs of their 45yo "boyfriend" who WILL tell them its okay.

As someone who WAS one of these kids, I can tell you how horribly isolating of an experience this kind of thing is, no one is willing to talk about it opening and honestly, much less adults. And whenever you, as a 12-17 year old try to express the things you're going through, it tends to come out wrong and isolate you further. ONE adults telling me that i WASN'T a perpetrator or a monster as so many people WERE, it probably would have saved me a lot of pain.

listen all I'm saying is that its hard to think of yourself as in need of help when you're the one pursuing the danger of (what you assume to be) your own free will. If a kid seeing an adult they look up to say "YOU aren't the evil here, you can be loved" helps even one of them get through that really challenging part of their life a little easier then honestly so be it, Patricia's one of the only public adults willing to say it and I genuinely believe that she has the best of intentions even if her wording usually isn't as sanitized as most people would like.

sai got banned from a subreddit for defending a groomer, yikes

So I noticed. She's been complaining on Twitter and in her server about it. Unfortunately if you play in someone else's yard you have to follow their rules. Don't like it? Go play in your own yard.

It's no surprise watching this community turn on each other considering it exists because of drama in the first place.

I've been saying this for months.

[starlit-soothsayer]

There's something refreshing about you getting so many "what about" anons and just saying "I don't care" about them. So many people would be better off learning to not give a shit, aka Sai and company

This brings to the forefront an issue I often have on this blog; people treating me their personal attack dog.

I have gotten asks about Britt, Courtney, Oblivionblade, Foxhound, Mikayla, Tepes, CrimsonEnder, Taxxon, Wolfertinger, Wis, KP, etc. Sometimes I get asks about users I'm entirely unfamiliar with or that are too vague to pinpoint what they're even about. Many of these have gone unanswered.

There are three very important things to keep in mind when sending an ask to this blog or trying to get a reply from me:

I will ignore people who do not read the FAQ.

I am not your army. I inform, not attack.

I will distance myself from pointless vitriol.

Asks/reblogs like these I will not give any serious answer to because they break one of the above restrictions:

And if your ask or reblog has gone unanswered by me for longer than a month, it is likely for the reasons listed above.

I have tried in the past to vaguely hint that I will not make posts aggressively criticizing a specific user if they are not directly interacting with my blog regularly already, i.e. the anon who seems very insistent that I do something about Oblivionblade. At this point however I feel that I need to be more direct.

I cannot and will not invest myself in "taking down" every possible instance of unsavory behavior on the internet. I can offer my opinions on things, but that is not the main purpose of this blog.

sai just got caught on stream showing a minor her suggestive art while joking about it giving the kid a porn addiction

While I wouldn't be surprised by this, I would prefer there be something tangible provided to prove it. I don't make a habit out of watching her streams.

[starlit-soothsayer]

sai used to say a lot of two faced stuff, but significantly more lately i feel like. she said "Weirdos on the internet acting like they can piece together the hidden truth with scraps of their content over the years as if these are two fictional characters need to take a step back and get some perspective" as if it doesn't perfectly describe her little circle of dirt diggers on anyone that crosses their paths

Is this not the core of what the entire Crit Sphere does? At the very least it seems like this has been the foundation of Sai's Twitter posts the last several months.

The best way I could describe this is being a clown in a circus when you're insistent you're the ringleader.

The Stockholm Disconnect

Stockholm is an open secret. Everyone knows what it is. Everyone knows it contains explicit material that Lily’s own fans would absolutely classify as child pornography if anyone else wrote it. And yet, somehow, she remains above consequence in their eyes.

This isn’t a case of people being unaware. It's a case of cognitive dissonance — the kind you only get when a community has been conditioned to not look too closely at the things that don’t fit the narrative.

Because here’s the thing: if someone posted excerpts from Stockholm today in Lily’s server or sent them directly to a third party, the response would be immediate and severe. People would call it ��spreading CP.” They’d report accounts. There’d be moral outrage. But the person who actually created that content? Who wrote and distributed it, who embedded it in her brand for years, who has never once meaningfully reckoned with what it was or what it represented? She gets a pass. Not because the content is excusable — but because Lily is the one who made it. And admitting it was inexcusable would mean admitting she is.

So her fans twist themselves in knots. They flip-flop along with her: one day she wrote it, the next day she didn’t, then it's not really CP, then she was “just exploring trauma,” then it’s satire, then “that was a long time ago” — anything to avoid confronting the uncomfortable reality that the person they idolize, who talks endlessly about morality and abuse, authored something deeply exploitative and never fully owned up to it.

And Lily leverages that. Her shifting explanations aren’t mistakes — they’re tools. She creates just enough ambiguity, just enough wiggle room, that her fans can grab whichever excuse feels most convenient. If they want to believe she never wrote it? That’s valid. If they want to believe it was taken out of context? Sure. If they want to believe it was a hit job by “stalkers”? Also fine. Lily doesn’t give consistent answers because consistent answers can be pinned down and interrogated. Inconsistency protects her.

The result is a kind of selective outrage. Her fans apply the label of “CP” not based on the content itself, but based on who is attached to it. If a critic references Stockholm, they’re accused of being disgusting. If someone shares a copy to prove it existed, they’re “spreading abuse material.” But Lily? Lily gets to sit above all of it — protected by the same fear, loyalty, and moral fog she’s spent years cultivating.

And for anyone on the outside looking in, it’s baffling. How could people so quick to condemn a stray word or tweet excuse this? But that’s what happens when a space isn’t built on values — it’s built on allegiance. Lily doesn’t need to be consistent. She just needs her followers to believe that the rules don’t apply to her. And for now, they do.

Sai confirmed KP asked her and Ant to provide voiceover for the DA/Saber video. This COULD be a chance for the two of them to self reflect on why KP thought they’d be interested in being in a video like that and what it says about the exploitative content they’ve made for years, but we all know self reflection isn’t in any of their skillsets.

why KP thought they’d be interested in being in a video like that and what it says about the exploitative content they’ve made for years

I would like to highlight this part in particular because it is a very interesting question I fear no one is asking.

[starlit-soothsayer]

"well KP asked me to voice something in the video but i didn't do it/my part was cut out of it therefore i have every right to step into this situation"

okay? and? that means nothing. youre still only doing this cause you dont like kp not because you care about the victim

It's less that I personally think they should or shouldn't comment on it at all and more that the reasoning behind commenting on it is clearly not motivated by anything other than a fresh drama cycle to get engagement from, at least for Sai. Not participating in a video certainly doesn't justify encouraging someone to kill themselves.

[starlit-soothsayer]

when do you think the rumor that sai is a pedo will start considering she's 43 and regularly interacting with teenagers online

Unlikely given that the 18+ sections in Sai's server are currently archived. Interacting with teenagers entirely publicly online is not what usually starts those types of rumors; minors being in the vicinity of NSFW does.

The only instance I could see where a rumor forms is if there was some kind of video or screenshot of something inappropriate happening with minors present.

[starlit-soothsayer]

how very dare you write things and make posts about things you see and respond to messages on your own personal space!! didnt you know you can only do that about the Approved™️ bad people????

I can count on one hand the number of times I have used this blog to say something on another user's post. Truly, interacting with my blog is entirely optional.

[starlit-soothsayer]

What's "system/print.amberdot.info" mean?

Nothing in particular.

[starlit-soothsayer]

Patricia’s recent statements as in the post where she encouraged minors to lie about their age to get involved in kink communities, including her own fandom.

I assume you mean this post, which given that this ask was sent mid-May, is not as recent as I thought it would be when looking for it.

Obviously I'm not a psychic, and I can't tell what someone's intentions are by just a few posts. Hesitantly, I want to say that doesn't sound like Patricia specifically wants children to interact with her, just that having some kind of sexual feelings is entirely normal (and it is normal for a teenager to be horny). The former would be the biggest red flag that this person is interested in grooming. The reason I lean more towards her meaning the latter is that she has deleted posts before when she found out later that the person she reblogged from was a minor, and that would indicate she has no interest in talking directly to someone she knows is a minor.

To me, the real issue here is encouraging minors to lie about their age-- that is dangerous and can get them hurt. The opposite of safety. Whether the encouragement to lie is so that minors are less likely to be targeted by people who are interested in children or to lie so that they can be in an adult space that wouldn't allow them is hard to parse.

Of course it goes without saying that minors should not be in NSFW spaces period, or at the very least should not be interacting with other people in them. That is the least messy and safest option.

There is also the matter of these tags:

[starlit-soothsayer]

Still think Sai and Ant shouldn't be talking about it? Or did you not even read their responses?

I read everything that comes into my activity panel. Long-time followers of this blog know, however, that I don't reply to everything that just so happens to find it's way into my inbox. In fact, the longer I've run this blog, the less I've replied to.

[starlit-soothsayer]

No response, huh? Guess you realized what you said about Sai and Ant not having a place in the situation was dumb.

This may come a surprise, but I have a full-time job and other obligations outside of the internet. Maybe you should also go find something else to do in the meantime. 👍
