Like I said I don’t want to talk details publicly but you can dm me if you wanna hear more. This was and is a big deal for me and ultimately ended my many years long friendship with him a while ago.

Me and him talked about it extensively and he wouldn’t budge on where his loyalty stood. I didn’t feel like I could say anything about it elsewhere because he had heaps more of a following and all this social capital so no one was gonna listen to me anyway.

Yeah ok it’s 1am and I just looked at these texts again and I’m shaking with how upset I am just from rereading them. Dogpatchpress and I were romantically involved for several months and I’d been friends with him for years. He brought his housemate to a party I had at blfc.

Said housemate groped a friend repeatedly and this was how Patch dealt with the situation. After trying multiple times to talk to him about why this wasn’t ok I told him I couldn’t be around him anymore. This really fucked me up emotionally for a long time.pic.twitter.com/Hpgk8wMTyz

This is still really fucking upsetting to read and think about. I really trusted him and in the end he was more interested in making excuses for his bro than giving a fuck about me or any of the people he placed this person in the presence ofpic.twitter.com/8rb0mJcp5T

God just like looking at this and all the other texts (there are a lot) I was so gaslit . And like, I wanted so badly for him to not be the kind of person who would dismiss something this serious.

I felt so hurt and betrayed that this person I knew for years who I had trusted so intimately and who people saw as this pillar in the community would so aggressively side with a person that there was solid evidence of being a huge creep.

This has been really hard to talk about but I also feel like getting this off my chest is a huge relief. Like I feel like I was able to actually relax and breathe today for the first time in months.

It’s weird cuz like, I’ve avoided Frolic and stuff even though it’s kind of one of my only opportunities to wear my fursuit which was a huge financial investment for me and I love suiting, and these events are like one of the only opportunities I get to see certain folks.

And I’d been looking at FC somewhat of a sense of dread in the back of my mind knowing I’d have to be on the look out to avoid him and his creepy room mate. And I may still have to do that but I feel like now at least people know this happened and I feel a little less alone.

I believe you. I'm so sorry that happened to your friend, and I'm sorry your trust was betrayed by someone you were close to. Nobody should have to go through ANY of that.
-
Thank you. It means a lot to be believed and heard after feeling like I had to stay quiet.

Just know Patch let his true nature show for all to see. As word gets around, people will know how terrible his morals are. Just like every other person that's supported that kind of behavior. It's the quickest way to shoot himself in the foot.
-
yeah, he doubled down on all of this so hard and he just has totally fucked himself in not apologizing or even just shutting up, and all this right before FC. I think people are seeing his true colors.

Omg I am really sorry that you went through all of this with them, that’s so extremely disappointing for them to very clearly defend their friend and deny that why they did was even wrong. Nowhere does he even say it wasn’t okay??? Fucked up
-
Yeah this is just a portion of the texts I had with him about this and I was just expressing so much hurt and shock and he just kept defending him right up until the end when I stopped talking to him
