“Why are roleplay icons getting smaller and smaller? 100×100 used to be the standard. Now, I can barely see what the icons are trying to portray, which really just defeats the purpose of using them in the first place. If the icon is more border and filter than it is image, then what’s the point? Aesthetics and edits are nice, until they start getting in the way.“

It’s not a random adults job to make sure there aren’t any minors period interacting with them. What are y’all gonna do when you have to interact with parents, teachers, or other regular adults you meet in one regular day?? Die???

1) be honest about your age when signing up for tumblr. Enforced safe mode will not let you interact with flagged blogs. (Like mine which is flagged explicit)

2) it’s your parents/guardians job to make sure you’re surfing the internet safely, not us.

3) stop assuming literally every person over 20 is a predator waiting to happen. That is some really unhealthy paranoia.

4) get off Tumblr if you’re literally under 16 this is not hard.

5) this is just as much our space. We were here first. This dogwhistling of adults supposedly being able to talk with teens/late teens is stupid. ))

lethal-cuddles:

The idea that adults shouldn’t be allowed in fandom spaces and that it’s inherently creepy for them to be involved in fandoms at all is one that needs to die.

You’re never too old to be a fan of something, you’re never too old to participate in fandoms, and you are not obligated to stop participating in said fandoms once you reach some arbitrary age that fandom newcomers has somehow decided is the age limit for participating in fandoms.

This is especially aggravating for fandoms based on established franchises that are decades old. Voltron (34 years, 37 if you count GoLion), Star Trek (52 years), Star Wars (41 years), Doctor Who (55 years), these fandoms have been around for a long, long time. Who do you think started these fandoms in the first place?

It’s absolutely mindblowing to me that there seems to be this huge push to force “old people” out of fandoms, especially when they have been participating in said fandom for longer than the people trying to push them out. 

I’ve even been seeing this with newer fandoms, like Danny Phantom (14 years), Harry Potter (21 years) and Sonic the Hedgehog (27 years). Most of the adults in these fandoms grew up with those respective franchises, and they shouldn’t be expected to just drop them like a rock the second they become “too old”.

Even if adults are joining new fandoms… so what? There is no maximum age limit on being a fan of something. Who are you to decide who is and isn’t allowed to participate in a fandom?

[[ This is a post detailing my history and knowledge with tumblr user justarya, a very vocal anti who currently holds a personal grudge against me from exposing her manipulative behavior towards other roleplayers and primarily her ex girlfriend over two years ago. Over these two years, the grudge has expanded and she has now resorted to trying to slander me as a predator/pedophile based on my fictional shipping preferences, and my interactions with users who hide the fact they’re underage yet interact with adult fans and adult content and later try to act the victim. This post is quite long, and I spoke to a mod of @theassholeantiarchive prior to making this. This will be link heavy, and I will archive everything I possibly can. This extensive post is a detailed response to these posts:  1 2 3 . Some links don’t have archives as they are blogs I own/help admin for so there is no possibility of post deletion.

As most people fed up with antis, I am tired of being slandered for purely fictional tastes. I have never wanted to hurt children or any human in any fashion and I never would, and I want this to serve as a warning for her to back off. This is a serious misuse of what is a very sickening crime, and as a CSA survivor it disgusts me that fiction is being co-opted and compared to what I went through as a child. Arya should be no-platformed (blocked at all costs) , and prevented from returning to roleplay circles if she continues this behavior. This is not the first time I have been slandered and all will be detailed below. ]]

Arya’s history is tricky to keep track of, as I’m normally a person who doesn’t care about these things in the long run/doesn’t track people, and she is quite happy to move blogs often or delete/remake, and this is true for most of her roleplay blogs. But she’s left a neat trail of side-blogs and has a list of saved URLs which links her up nicely. 

Known URLS Arya has/had:

 cariteas (Archive) Lists her name/Age in the bio. Used to be a roleplay blog for Itachi Uchiha. 

conciido (Archive) While this one doesn’t redirect and seemingly has no link to her, it was a URL change she used when trying to combat the poster of her original callout.  I believe this one was a Madara Uchiha roleplay  blog. 

temmiy (Archive) An old personal of Arya’s. The “Untitled” is in German as Arya is German. This blog is also mentioned by asks/screenshot in the original callout in which she threatens physical violence on a user for not being on her side. 

madaita (archive) A personal. Is listed on her saved URLs on her current personal.  

nagatositachi (archive) A personal. Lists that she’s on bakoohra now.

bakoohra (archive) A personal. Lists that she’s on furryitachi now. Is on her saved URLs list. 

furryitachi (archive) says she’s at kaibasseto now. Is a saved URL. 

kaibasseto (archive) Is on her saved URLs list. 

dherva (archive) redirects to her current personal, justarya. (Here is another post as proof.) 

Archives of the other URLS on her saved URLs list (most of these are empty btw):  X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X 

deathsblind (archive) Was her last known RP blog for Itachi Uchiha. This currently tries to redirect to kaibasseto, one of her known previous URLs. 

despajr (archive) was a URL change for her Itachi. Also points to kaibasseto.

master-of-war (archive) This was actually an RP blog of her ex’s. When her ex deleted due to the anonymous hate she was getting post break-up, Arya stole this URL. It redirects to something in her saved list. 

The BYF of one of her saved URLS which lists me (uchihasavior), (sharkbroz) a person she harassed for not taking her side, and Phoenix, her ex (despairinghxpe) 

crows-beforehoes (archive) Uchiha related blog that was previously named shisuxta (as evidenced in header image) (This blog will be massively important later.)

Arya’s Initial Callout 2016

Arya’s behavior has always been manipulative, abusive, and very controlling, and continues onto this day. I began to sense a problem when talk spread of a user trying to force other users to pick a side between them and their ex, going as far as jumping into people’s askboxes/IMs, or blocking without another word (the latter would have been preferable at least.) 

I’ve always hated this behavior. Especially because in roleplay communities, this behavior is born out of petty grudges or disagreements. Instead of dealing with it, roleplayers cannot handle their ex-friend still exists within the community, and forcefully involve others in their drama by trying to make them pick a side. This is done by putting  “Do not interact/follow if you follow/interact with X” in their rules or just making a whole post out of it. Proof is rarely provided of anything. 

Just associating with someone is not an admission that they believe and agree with everything someone else does. Some people want to roleplay in peace, not be dragged into discourse. It’s the entire point of roleplay. 

This was around December of 2016, and I made a post on it. It was a response to a friend’s post who was also seeing the same thing going around. Please note user hikaru-mikazuki and how she says she has proof, this is vitally important and I will showcase it here. 

Eventually a friend of the ex in question contacted me, knowing that I help admin for a blog to call out legitimately bigoted/toxic people in fandom. This ranges from blatant homophobes, racists, and people who are actually being predatory to other users. Arya was unfortunately going to be a good fit here. 

I was sent the information and the post was made. It is two years old, and normally I would not try to use something so old, except that Arya’s behavior has not at all improved and she has moved onto serious slander. 

This is what kickstarted Arya’s grudge towards me. It’s well known that I help admin for the blog, and as the events of the callout progressed, Arya placed myself and two other users on the BYF of a now abandoned blog. 

I was asked to provide more recent info about the situation from the ex, and I will show it here. This is a conversation I had a few days ago with necromancer-anubis, aka Phoenix, Arya’s ex girlfriend. Phoenix owns the blog necromancer-with-wings and necromancer-anubis, and her first tumblr blog was avatar-kiyoshi-san (a blog regularly mentioned in crows-beforehoes). Phoenix’s current personal blog will not be mentioned by URL for her safety.

This is the full conversation held between Phoenix and I.  

Special mentions: Hikaru-Mikazuki, Lady (uchihacollector), and uminosclassroom. 

I spoke with Hikaru-Mikazuki on Wednesday, in which she had told me she had a few scuffles with Arya over on multiple blogs, and was repeatedly blocked, unblocked, and then re-followed on Arya’s alt accounts. Sometimes, Hikaru would realize it was Arya and pre-emptively blocked her, or she would not realize it was her until much later. Special notes: Arya tells Hikaru she doesn’t want to speak to anyone who doubts her even though previously, she claims she had proof. Doubt is a natural human reaction, and it’s crucial to get  both sides of the story. Arya refuses to show the proof she claims she has. The full conversation.  The full log of photos Hikaru sent me. 

Arya said that aveinfinitum belongs to Phoenix…..when it belongs to Phoenix’s boyfriend.  (1) (2

Hikaru’s screenshots helped me link shisuxta to crows-beforehoes. I am deeply appreciative of this. 

Uminosclassroom was mentioned as a blog that Arya had tried to dissuade from interacting with Phoenix. While she could not locate the exact logs themselves, she did recently recollect her experience at that time. Here is my conversation with uminosclassroom.

Lady has spoken to me today about her experience with Arya. While Lady did not receive one-on-one correspondence, she did receive an email. It was not addressed to her personally, but contained four screenshots between Phoenix and someone named “Kaz” which don’t really help Arya’s case. The photos are here. 

Goldenyondaime was sent a “warning” about Phoenix nearly identical to what was sent to Hikaru. 

Arya’s original callout was posted on problematicroleplayers here, which details the fact that Arya was spending hours and hours on Phoenix’s blogs on her German IP. She would maintain a public facade that Phoenix was dangerous and as listed above would message people and try to enforce it, claiming she had proof but refusing to show it when reasonably doubted, refusing to go into detail on her “DNI” as opposed to Phoenix who would gladly talk about it, and then going as far as to repeatedly email Phoenix and attempt to get her to make a secret roleplay blog just for her. Tagged/cariteas is here. 

Eventually, it all caught up to Arya, and she archived and deleted her then RP blogs. She would go quiet for a time. 

Arya’s resurgence 2018- Arya is a vocal anti and the grudge has expanded to slandering me

At some point in 2018 (I do not know exactly since I had said I did not intend to keep up with her and I did not) Arya resurfaced with another Itachi Uchiha RP blog, this one open to the public (she had another one deemed private, but was never password protected. This ‘private’ blog was intended to roleplay with her girlfriend only (rcris123 who is frequently seen in the likes/reblogs of arya’s most violent posts and is their primary shipping partner). 

For the most part, we don’t roleplay in the same circles. The grudge began to snowball when another user (icewept, who is another vocal anti, now at strmrge) tried to call me a literal pedophile based off a post which was originally about criticism of OCs who break the canon storyline and expect other roleplayers to conform to this (there is literally nothing wrong with this concept in fiction written by one’s own, but when more people are involved you cannot expect them to bend to your ideas.) There is definitely a fictional shota thread in this blog’s archive, because I don’t delete anything. It’s tagged and put under a cut, so considering they had to open the read more to see it… that’s their own fault. 

Another anti in the Naruto fandom is hijonaisha

I had to quote US law at this person.

Arya saw it run around in her circles, more than likely, which prompted a post to avoid me and “not deal with my crap.” 

While this is vague, I 100% knew it was tied to the previous accusations, and one of the users in the notes was one I had been very recently roleplaying with, and so I chose to reach out to them and explain the situation since I knew the claims against me were wrong. However they did not listen and still chose to cut off contact with me.

What were the claims?

Besides the claims of pedophilia due to my shipping tastes, the claims were that I also “groomed” a specific user because we had roleplayed some sexual threads between our characters since we shipped them. The characters in question? Itachi, who is 21, and Orochimaru, who is 54. In fact here’s the post they made around March, with other people to block in the notes.

Grooming is a very serious accusation. It is a very serious crime. Grooming is done intentionally to gain the trust of a real person and sexually exploit them. As someone who has undergone grooming and grooming attempts from step-fathers, this is especially disgusting to see misappropriated because someone forced their way into adult spaces, liked, wrote, reblogged and drew NSFW artwork of the pairing we shared. The artist linked in the archive link drew TONS of NSFW content for the pairing, some evidenced here.

Us roleplaying a 21 year old and a 50 year old is not akin to grooming a real life person. The real reason this user and I stopped talking? I had to remind them their character is manipulative within the canon context of the series. Not in the “you should not like them” sense, but purely stating a fact as I prefer honest character portrayals. Here is our last correspondence. 

Eventually Arya did not feel appreciated enough in her new circle of friends and decided to delete her Naruto RP blogs. She believes the community is toxic, not worth existing/roleplaying in, etc. Along with “grown ass women who proudly ship incest and pedophilia” (A definite reference to me). 

I was almost completely unaware she’d left until I was handed links to– well, Arya just cannot be quiet about me, it seems. This time, when reblogging her anti posts, she simply decides to mention me directly in the tags. 

Here is a list of posts where Arya is being an anti. I am mentioned in the tags of some of these. X X X X (Fandom is for fun unless I don’t like this) X X X X (previous blog of hers, I’m listed in the BYF)

Arya’s Hypocrisy, Past and Present

Like most if not all antis, Arya is also into media and content that could be considered wrong/taboo, and she fiercely defends this content while openly condemning others. One of her ships, MikaYuu, has dedicated antis, as it is often seen as “incest” by detractors, even though the characters aren’t related but grew up together. 

Her crows-beforehoes blog, proven to be hers, is full of ItaSasu, the exact ship she is trying to slander me for. Many of the artists linked in the pixiv post openly draw ItaSasu. Some of these pieces are even by me! 

X X X X X X X X X (There is a lot more, but this should serve as enough) I have archives of an #itasasu tag on that blog as well.

Arya dislikes Itachi/Izumi because they are a “child ship” (they are literally one year apart) despite her fiancee drawing art of Nagato/Itachi as children. Out of 60 listed notes, two are missing. I have verified on blogs I have not been blocked on that the notes are still missing and it is my firm belief this was liked/reblogged on a blog of Arya’s she has since deleted, since she has reblogged her fiance’s art before.  

Arya also likes series such as…. Outlast. The Evil Within. Game of Thrones. Which has incest! 

Arya is an anti who resorts to misappropriation of crimes over a grudge that was born when she was revealed to be manipulative, abusive, and overall toxic. Arya should be blocked and avoided on all platforms and not be re-welcomed into roleplaying communities.

SMALL TEXT.    FORMATTING.     It messes with my dyslexia, my reading-aid software, and my eyes. Do you like small text? Please make the text on your own blog’s theme smaller, but leave my dashboard alone. 

This debate is more than a “lol unfollow then” creator/consumer give-and-take. It’s also about excluding me based on a disability. It sucks that our social interactions are valued as less important than your stupid font size. It just hurts, you know? I never chose my disabilities, but you can choose. Please choose to include me. Choose kindness. PLEASE KEEP TUMBLR’S NORMAL FONT. 

nikkkxb replied to your photo: “SMALL TEXT…”

Lady, you should reblog this on your roleplay blog. It’s disgusting that a community that’s all about “inclusiveness” ignores such a blatant thing. I mean, is that not ableism?
