@therealcrookey Exactly, it shouldn’t be tolerated for ANY project- but fangans in particular have normalized it?? I suppose it’s because it’s just such a huge fanbase of children- and if they wanna make their own project? That’s fine! But adults and kids should not be “collabing on projects”

@HayzelBaezel This is for literally any role as well outside of fangames was taught internet at 14 the internet is dangerous for kids like anyone can lie about who they are as well

Y’all need to stop casting minors in your fangans as voice actors and spotlighting them to such a parasocial audience. That shit is irresponsible at best, and insidious at worst. It’s not “giving them opportunities and kickstarting a career,” it’s putting them at risk.

sorry my page has been nothing but me bitching, I’m a busy bee with a lot of hatred in my heart. But I am still writing! Pinky promise! It’s just slow moving, life is hectic lately. Love u guys who read my stuff a whooole bunch.

@akirollus You made a vent post and people act like it’s this big deal, but you’ve lived this first hand. Since middle school? That’s insane, and I’m awed you still have a passion for these projects after all that. I get what you’re saying. You aren’t wrong for feeling put out by it.

@akirollus Ppl are saying “this isn’t a fangan specific issue” but it is important to highlight: it happening twice in less than 6 months is an issue. We need to raise the bar and take better precautions for these things, and that’s a conversation that NEEDS to happen.

ppl upset when many of them havent been part of a fangan team. ive been vaing in big projects and fangans since middle school and being 100% honest online va work attracts predators. it just does

Almost every single person I know has an experience with online grooming to some degree. I went through that with a total of 50 followers on tumblr, just trying to make friends. When these kids get a following of 500+, what do you think happens then?

Anyone who argues against this who is an adult, I’m side eying the fuck out of you. There’s 0 reason to cast teenagers for these roles, point blank period. This isn’t a professional environment. Y’all are not as tough as you think. Y’all cannot protect them from your audience.

@KinsWookie12963 @chaasuBurger Caught em in 4K HD full Google doc I feel dumb asf tryna give anyone the benefit of the doubt. They coulda been manipulated at the time- but after 4 years? Nahhh they shoulda owned up. They dug a grave there.

@chaasuBurger @HayzelBaezel Well this aged well x.com/i/status/20397…

Everyone fixated on PJEG rn does not give a singular fuck about child safety. I asked for any details on Faza a few days ago to make a report to his local authorities, said my DMs were open to anyone with info. Only ONE PERSON. Bothered to help me dig and find a location. ONE.

@KinsWookie12963 Bro,,, aight well. I don’t even know what to say abt that. Damn. Nuke the whole thing actually that is insane. I really put my foot in my mouth, they rlly were just covering that shit up just for the sake of it. Crazy.

@HayzelBaezel Yea no more time for neutral responses. x.com/i/status/20397…

@morisamui2518 @ripple_bipple @lorisugis No one has to apologize for it, it’s a normal mistake. But the first thing they teach advocates who deal with this regularly, is that they do not use the word “victim.” I just want to spread the word on that, I’m not blaming anyone for not knowing.

@morisamui2518 @ripple_bipple @lorisugis No it’s okay!! Most people don’t know about this topic, I’m not saying it out of anger or upset- To not use the name of the person in question at their own request is perfectly understandable. But to replace it with “victim” where they can see? That must hurt to read.

Believe victims.

@ripple_bipple @lorisugis It’s genuinely important that we do not refer to other people as “victims,” it puts people down. The people who make it out are not victims. They are survivors. “Victim” is not something anyone would like to be referred to as publicly. It is demeaning, even if unintentional.

@ripple_bipple @lorisugis Not to be a nitpicky bitch psychologist but I need to be an advocate here: BELIEVE *SURVIVORS* They survived. They get to tell their story, they get to be as vocal and angry as they want. A lot of people don’t get to do that for themselves. They survived.

@chaasuBurger @KinsWookie12963 Oh I’m not saying Sozzay was a minor, I’m saying that younger individuals are more susceptible to manipulation tactics. Even if we throw out age as a factor- inexperience and lack of education on the topic can lead to ANYONE being manipulated by a groomer into letting shit fly

@KinsWookie12963 @HayzelBaezel Do keep in mind from what heard I think Sozzay is in her late 20s, she is not young and was certainly not a minor 4 years ago. Seeing how this new statement was made after Sozzay was kicked I honestly think Sozzay might’ve been the larper who kept the “professional” act on social

@seraphkitty Exactly. Everyone is acting like him being cut from the project is enough. It’s not. He has other major roles he’s played, a fangan project is small potatoes in the long run. It’s not about “ending a career” it’s about making sure there’s no chance for him to reoffend.

@HayzelBaezel okay, i’m glad that i helped somewhat, apologies that i couldn’t do more. i am very disappointed in everyone cheering for it, but hopefully, moving forward, faza will actually face some sort of repercussion

@seraphkitty Don’t worry, it’s been handled on that front. I did see ur reply and that was helpful, along with a few others who did reply to me the video he made along with his statement.

@HayzelBaezel i tried to dm information about the other projects he’s on/what i can find of his to identify him but twitter did not let me send it (because fuck me i guess), but i can restate everything i know here, if it’d help

I’ve grown up in these situations. I’ve experienced, first hand, these examples of “parental permission” and “it’s legal and we’re safe” You would be surprised how quickly those arguments disarm people. It’s admitting to one thing, but lying about the rest.

A lot of you have a very narrow view point on what grooming is, and how others on the outside CANNOT recognize it. Even when the evidence is clear, people try to assume the best in others. I’m not saying Sozzay was right, at all. What I’m saying is- groomers are MANIPULATIVE.
