Don’t wanna go into specifics publicly but I have a personal story of Patch rabidly defending someone who repeatedly groped a friend at my party. This caused me a lot of heartache and pain at the time and it’s still hard for me to see him take up so much space in furry spaces.

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.

yeah ok im done this shit is pissing me off severely
-
It’s cool to call out Nazis and pedos if it’s hot news and gets you patreon money but if your best bro gropes someone then it’s not his fault and we should all just not talk about it
-
THIS REALLY BUGS ME The whole thing just comes of as like asvlasdjhvg - THIS IS A FRIEND COMING TO YOU BEING ALARMED AND DISTRESSED - And he's just sittin there like " Hmm Actually Quite, yes indeed. Henceforth all presented evidence shall be searched through thorougly indeed"
-
YES EXACTLY also “Well Yes there is literal visual proof of my bro groping you and your friend but he’s not a liar!!! He didn’t have malicious intentions UWU”
-
I fail to see how " malicious or not" even factors in to the fact that it was BAD behaviour because it made someone uncomfortable. It's like, even IF i buy into the logic here - it still doesn't make sense to me.
-
Yeah it’s completely fucked and I’m still horrified that I was intimate with someone who had this kind of logic around literal assault
