Idk how I feel about this

(update)

I don't know if I'll mentally be able to keep up on the situation after this. The amount of stress it has put on me in the span of a week is quite something. People have (I am unsure if this is true) supposedly doxxed Alex Kister along with her parents. My anxiety is at a high. Tumblr, TikTok, Reddit, and Twitter are currently virtual battle grounds on the TMC side. Specifically, Twitter and Reddit. Despite my own siding with the victims, I think that the situation has quickly started to reach dangerous territory and spiral out of control due to the unfortunate and reckless behavior of some. We still haven't even received an official response from Alex, and we may not if things continue in this way. 

Please understand that even if what Alex may have done was terrible, doxxing under these or any circumstances could very well get a person KILLED. Some are starting to say that the document contains some transfem misogyny as well as transphobic wording? towards Alex by StirringJuice in it along with their Tumblr post. Analysis documents are being released by others due to inconsistencies/wording. Stirring has said they hardly want to consider themselves a victim. We are unsure of what is happening anymore; a lot of people keep spreading misinformation about the original document, important clarification/additions on the situation by some involved keeps being deleted; which only adds to our confusion. Everyone is becoming more angry and hostile towards each other. 

Some of those who were staying neutral/wanting to hear both sides and etc., have been harassed, given death threats, and driven to the point of committing. Someone was going to attempt to end their own life due to the harassment and real life consequences they faced for asking questions, but luckily enough, they were just in time stopped from following through by a family member of theirs. The people on the other side aren't necessarily all the "evil, awful, parasocial "monsters."" You see them as, some of them haven't even seen a singular volume of TMC, nor know who Alex is. Of course, we support the victims. But please do not allow your anger to consume you and commit reckless actions against others online that could result in real life deaths. Do not escalate the situation to such levels. This has been one of the worst fandom responses I've seen in quite awhile.

Realize that no matter how much evidence you place down on the metaphorical table, skepticism and questioning by some will always be something bound to happen in situations such as these. One cannot simply attack, harass, give death threats to and attempt to doxx others for it. I myself do not condone doxxing. The amount of danger you put on someone's life and those around them by doing so is immense. It is, simply put, absolutely abhorrent behavior to do so.

The Mandela Catalogue is not fetish material! That was in fact confirmed as misinformation by StirringJuice, so stop saying that it is. It is not. As it is with many of my other interests, I'll be separating the art from the artist so I will be staying in the community. (art ≠ artist) If you want to cut off associations from TMC, I understand. But if you do not and people are pressuring you, Know that I support you in staying. You do not have to force yourself to leave. Other fandoms have had similar issues with creators in the past. I could list multiple examples, but I won't. 

Dear TMC fans, fictives, coping links, kinnies, and everyone else out there in the community, this isn't your fault at all. Please don't beat yourself up over loving, having loved, or hyperfixating on a fandom. Sources and interests don't make us bad people by association; no matter what anyone else says, remember we are not the creator, like what you like. I know the situation is stressful, so stay strong. If they harass you, block them. If mutuals unmutual you due to fear of being associated, they were never there to stay in the first place. The real ones will stick with you through this; trust me, I know. My own have not left me.

I know you're scared, perhaps sad, disappointed or extremely angry but I believe we'll get through this.

And remember, although awful, this too shall pass.

Big hugs. I love you all♥️ -Eve

OUR LIL OLD THATCHER!!
