Hiii I’m so happy to see you’re back on tumblr. I was scared you died. How’s life going?

Hello! I’ve definitely been off the grid for a long while. I am alive, just been super occupied with work and my personal life. It has been pretty busy, honestly. It’s the first time in a few years since I’ve been on tumblr 😅
This is terrifying and made me realize these aren’t just dumb/unmonitored kids being preyed on? The pedophiles have evolved 🤮
re-reblogging because that reddit post is HORRIFYING. there’s a lengthy update edited in above the original text, so ctrl+F “throwaway” if you want to read from the beginning. if you do read the update first, useful context is that the harassed classmate had been baited into an unsuccessful suicide attempt, and reddit OP’s daughter had been groomed by a self-proclaimed “safe adult” into both the harassment campaign and a bunch of highly inappropriate personal conversations in a cultlike private Discord server.
the whole thing is complete outsider POV on the backdrop of terminally-online drama; reddit OP previously knew nothing about fandom subcultures, let alone “shipping” or “antishipping.” here, IMO, is the money quote:
[The FBI] told us there’s been case that don’t involve the fandom stuff they’ve delt with where groomers will try to be the only “safe adult” and will send minors things to “report” while they themselves are already sex offenders. The grooming tactic of trying to convince a child everyone around them is a groomer for a very arbitrary reason and they are safe is becoming incredibly common now a days. And I urge parents: if you have a small age gap with your spouse, to please be wary of your child starts acting strange about it. If you’re an artist and they act very off about certain things you create that are child friendly, be concerned. If you’re child calls anything that is normal “creepy” or “predatory” despite it being normal, take their phone. My child showed no warning signs but I can’t imagine how parents think their kids are just going through a phase and care about something weird or just dismiss it as a “Gen Z thing” but I am not the only one who’s been through this.
I asked her why she did this and once again told me, being completely serious, “Because (Said girl) is a pedophile”. I asked why she felt that way, and straight faced, once again, told me exactly what the principal did. She believed the girl she had been harassing should “Be put in prison” and was a pedophile because she enjoyed art of these characters together depicted as a couple but the police won’t do anything so she needed to take it into her own hands.

To cis lesbian who said ‘we lost one’ when Elliot Page came out as transgender with he/they pronouns, fuck off. Gender identity and sexuality is a long and bumpy road and if your first reaction to someone being comfortable in their own skin is ‘oh now I can’t relate to them so I will be transphobic’, you are the problem. If Elliot Page uses he/they pronouns, then Elliot Page uses he/they pronouns.
If you have got a problem with that then you can fuck right off to space and die there.
they call me… 7 Knives. because that’s how many knives it takes me to cook things because I keep puttin em in the fuckin sink without thinking about it
