Here’s Lexyeevee’s guest answer:
notice that everything about this ask criticizes how mel is responding to an incident, rather than the incident itself
the asker neither condemns nor defends any of pommy’s actions. they’re barely even a blip on the radar, reduced to a mere side reference, the implied second party of someone mel “didn’t get along with”.
did he do something wrong? did he do something justified? none of that matters, because we have a far worse issue on our hands: someone is talking about it, and talking openly about things someone else did is… well, that just won’t do.
this is an amateur magic trick, a misdirection. it is the fluff of people afraid to have conversations about reality, of people who worry themselves with how discourse affects our appearance rather than how actions affect our lives. play nice, little children. it doesn’t matter if he actively sought you out and deliberately unnerved you; talking about it is “drama”, and how do you think that makes you look?
quiet down, little girl. you should be seen for your art, not heard for your thoughts and experiences. who gave you the right to talk about what someone else did? now let me go back to lulz to talk about what you did.
basically, dear asker, this is complete bullshit and you know it. have some fucking self-respect.
I’m too busy drawing to bother answering this one in depth myself. However, I do find it *incredibly* gross that you ignore his stalkerlike behavior because… how dare I talk about someone actively seeking me out to antagonize me in person, then flaunting to me how he has a role in a game I frequently draw art for and post about. The audacity I have. So childish, I am.
reblogging thing i wrote for posterity
i am kind of digging this on smarm article and the above ask immediately reminded me of the phenomenon it describes: syrupy but hollow pleas for everyone to stop being so little and childish and squabbly, while completely ignoring whatever anyone is actually talking about
also worth note that the pommy stuff happened months ago but he has several times found reason to try injecting himself back into the lives of people he doesn’t like
where are the smarmy asks directed at him? surely people only want to hear his voice acting and don’t care about his drama
(oh, right, he’s a boy)
