Gdq/agdq (now sgdq?! formerly The Speed Gamers or TSG) hires & protects a virulent transphobe to do all their art. "But they have trans women-" cmon youre smarter than that. Go ask ana/llk abt nonbinary people and trans men and esp furries and watch her be SUPER normal.
Theyve had actual nazis on these streams.
They ban trans men from chat or from helping out bc llk goes all "think of the children"
They all still contribute to "mock weirdos online" podcast the fplus (w fat shaming episodes! Theyre all super fatphobic!!!)
These ppl are all portal of evil gamers using your money to launder their reputations.
Just
Consider that before flinging money at a "good cause"
I go thru this psa every year and u can see how much gamers care
@hi_cial i care enough to have dug up receipts but I can always use more to throw into the expose i hope to write
@deejvalen i'll be happy to share the ones i have squirreled away too, tho theyre mostly llk threatening me with vague "bad things" if i dont unblock her on steam (i didnt have her blocked, i just unfriended her)
a few weeks later one of my long time bffs (and mutual with llk) suddenly decided trans men were predators and manipulators
like hmmm
hmmmmmm
@hi_cial yeah like if you have anything damning feel free to forward it over to me, can share my email as well. if i recall lll had threatened you via email before and that'd be especially strong of a case to build against her
@deejvalen oh yeah do you have an email i should forward to?
@hi_cial Yep. There's a reason I don't tune in there anymore. There are far better speedrun marathons with better variety of games.
@literalgrill i just hate that you go 'hey these dudes pal around w nazis' and gamers go 'WHAT?!?!?! BUT THIS IS MY FEELGOOD TIME!!! DONT RUIN MY FEELGOOD TIME!!! YOURE THE NAZI STOP IT'
like damn youre not doing your fandom any favors here
@hi_cial I tuned in briefly
yesterday on someone's suggestion, heard an $88 dollar donation get announced, and noped right back out
What the absolute fuck.
@elfi thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaats their fanbase baby
they had notch contribute one time and were all excited and proud abt it on main until everyone's pushback was so intense they realized uhm no actually nazi boy notch is Not a fandom darling to anyone but you guys
@hi_cial Yeah! I don't want to give them the time of day at this point. I feel dirty just tuning in for as long as I did
@elfi i think thats the problem that keeps people going back tbh? they're like i can either accept the truth and feel dirty for the support i unknowingly gave (no one should feel guilty for not knowing, its covered up by design) or continue to hang around with the toxic feelgood group giving money to nazis and decide the noisy messy queers calling them out are Wrong
and thus, on goosesteps gdq
@hi_cial Funny how getting self-conscious about it can also end up self-defeating if you're not careful, yeah. A lesson I have to keep in mind on the regular
@hi_cial hey uh, i live under a rock and have no clue what GDQ/AGDQ are, who this transphobe is, the trans man chat bans and all that, could you update me on all this?
@SimplyTadpole
they're a group of gamers who do a week-long livestreaming event of scheduled games to raise money for a charity that ostensibly helps autistic kids and their families. i really dunno anything about the charity, other than it's in texas.
llk/ana is the artist who does all of their art and animations and is one of the streamers as well.
the streams obviously have chatrooms for users to comment and be social, and llk/ana finds or invents reasons and makes noise until the mods cave to her since she's so integral to their team and ban us...
basically if youre not watching a giant gamer livestream that's soliciting money for a charity for the /very same people they harass the rest of the year round/ you're not part of the prob
@len @SimplyTadpole they USED to do a lot of work for Rocking Horse Ranch so i wonder what happened there
im gonna kill a hero sorry, stalking/sui/SA/cancer cw
@jahtnamas @elfi not to bring the mood further down but raizap is a kind of a creep too
she was part of a group of ex friends of mine ("the hive") who decided i should be made to kill myself for ... being mentally ill and asexual and trans and going to live/work my dream in japan? not really sure, i asked so many times what i did but raizap's only response was "didn't draw me enough fanart"
yes i know she made a famous comic abt being aro. after telling me i should kill myself for being ace.
she participated in a chat and helped host files where my rapist described his sexual encounter with me not going the way he wanted, and she was part of the group that patted him on the back and told him i was the problem.
they only stopped stalking me (TEN YEARS) when i got my cancer diagnosis and could not "prove i was faking cancer" like they wanted.
she's never said sorry.
response/apology
@jahtnamas youre cool its not like any of the people involved EVER admit to or apologize for it privately let alone publicly so how would you x.x
@jahtnamas @elfi but yeah it's 100% because of llk/ana i am CERTAIN. she CAN NOT be normal about anyone even a LITTLE furry/queer in ways that she personally isn't
@hi_cial I remember one time I posted a message to your FA wall asking if you were ever coming back to the forum we were all on and *minutes* later LLK sent me a long nonsensical email about you, and that was about when I decided maybe I should stop being so active on that forum (although it took some *incredibly* petty shit to make me finally stop going there)
@hi_cial I also remember one time getting a message from LLK and a couple others out of the blue being all "Are you okay? We support you!" and I'm like... what? "Oh, people on Tumblr were being super mean about a thread about you!" and I'm like, um, ok... and I looked at the thread and it did kind of suck! and it was nice for them to reach out and see if I was okay! But it didn't take me long to realize that, wait, *they* were the ones who looked bad in all that, and they were buttering me up
@hi_cial and the thing they were trying to support community-wise was a thing that was actually a pretty big fucking sore spot for me, specifically with how they were extremely shitty to me about trans-related stuff
@fluffy it kinda sets me on fire that the more i think abt the things portaxx/ana/llk always flipped out on people for were like LITERALLY just "you arent doing autism/anxiety/gender/sexuality the way I WANT TO DO IT" and the entire crew would always back her up every time and use rly ableist language in the process too???? like talk abt a missing stair shes like a roving stair based enemy that randomly yanks the step and they all treat it like youre losing their game by not learning how to just constantly have to dodge her demands and loathings and outbursts
like why are you even letting her play???????
@fluffy have you booped deej abt this stuff too since theyre compiling a 'please stop supporting these people' thing
@hi_cial I have not been in contact with anyone from that scene except you for like a decade
@fluffy shes really really prone to throwing lies around?? i asked her what her problem with me was and she said she had a stalker who was a fan of mine
so i was like okay who is it?! lemme weed the garden! if people feel unsafe because of something, say the word!
that's when shit smelled really incorrect because suddenly she got really defensive and was like THAT IS PRIVATE INFORMATION YOU DO NOT NEED TO KNOW
@hi_cial ahhh shit. Well, good thing I can google doctors without borders etc. and donate directly >.>
