Yo so, i got something i wanna say rq.
Quick CW for the discussion of grooming, false allegations and a long ass post. If you don't already know about this situation, scroll down, I've provided links to the necessary posts at the bottom!
Iโm not the one for drama, never have been and never will be.
But being a mutual of @ikamigami and literally getting tagged in it, it was inevitable that I would see @alexandraisyes' grooming allegation post on both her and Mothy. And after having reached out myself to get Ikamiโs side on things along with reading the documents provided by both parties, I've come to my own conclusion.
I donโt see either party as really being in the right. Not Alex nor Mothy. Mothy for their poor behaviour which has been given evidence of in Alexโs document. And Alex for Ikamigamiโs completely unnecessary involvement and the horrible accusation made against them with lackluster evidence.
Lackluster evidence which I have a few things to say about.
Now Alex or any of her friends who may end up reading this, I'm not a new enemy of any sort or looking to be one, nor do I have any particularly ill feelings against any of you, I'm just giving criticism and stating my opinions here.
1) Evidence against Ikami No.1 - The nsfw fic
Ikamigami wrote a nsfw fic and tagged GarbageChocolate, who she at the time, didnโt know was a minor. But once she found out, it was publicly apologized for. And now the fic has been completely deleted from Ikamiโs blog, the only reason youโre still able to see it via the link in Alexโs document is because of it being a reblog. This was resolved and closed in 2023. Information which Alex has left out both in their doc and when replying to comments, either intentionally or because of lack of proper research.
Why is it being brought up to be used as some sort of โevidenceโ of Ikami being a groomer?
When you think about it, it doesnโt even make any sense. A groomer wouldnโt post stuff like that publically, as they would want to keep their behaviour hidden.
2) Evidence against Ikami No.2 - Ikami siding with Mothy
I donโt know if people know this, but choosing to side with a friend in drama or accusations is normal.
Especially considering the friendship between Mothy and Ikami, that theyโve been there for one another and therefore will put a good amount of trust in each other. And I think that if youโre quickly able to turn on your friend at the smallest accusation, you werenโt even a real friend to begin with. That or youโre just a patsy.
Ikami herself in her own document acknowledges Mothyโs actions and says that she is not going to defend them. Though along with that Ikami provides rather important context behind Mothyโs behaviour. Context being that Mothy is someone who has immature and childish behavioural tendencies (being a 19 year old, also counting that age does not equal to maturity), and due to less than unfortunate events in her childhood expresses hypersexuality.
Something to quickly mention as well, Ikami has only really known Mothyโs side on the things which has happened inside the servers, possibly not having been told the entire truth on some things. That along with the behaviour of Mothy is not something I want to excuse and is something that i'm certain Ikami isn't exactly pleased about either.
Also, this shouldn't just come to me, but do you realise how broken the logic behind this, that Ikami choosing to side with Mothy makes her a groomer too, is?ย
Let me lay out a hypothetical example;
What if I was friends with someone who later gets accused to be a pedophile, would that make me a pedo too simply by association?
3) - Critisism on Alex's document
Now, I know this whole segment is going to sound nit-picky, but there are some things that I want to point out with Alexโs document and its content.ย As I can't help but feel that the document looks incredibly rushed and sloppily made.
Alex's document only bears screenshots, with pretty much no context given whatsoever behind them or this situation. Like say, as an example, what the ages of both Mothy and the minors were specifically during the time it all went down, as that is very important information and simply just stating that the victims were minors doesnโt really make things clear. As anyone between 1 to 18 would be considered a minor.
Along with lacking context, there are things added which don't serve anything, being rather trivial. Like the comparison made between the behaviour of Mothy, Alex herself and Alex's friend Peachpopfizz/Peachfnaf. I can understand the potential reason for this being added, but in execution it just looks like youโre trying to make yourself look better or superior and is rather useless to know.
And something which I think is plenty worthy of being pointed out as well is that we don't seem to get any screenshots of one-to-one private conversations. Or at least not ones where it's clear, as most of the screenshots are also cropped. The victims in Alexโs document state that Mothy has used manipulation tactics, used her ties to the โbig blogsโ as leverage and not taken it too kindly when others did not want to talk to them about something or got uncomfortable, so why don't we see examples of such?
ย If all of Mothy's messages come from open channels for anyone to see, it makes me wonder, as one of the main tactics of groomers is to isolate a victim and hold their own poor behaviour behind closed doors. Especially considering there were apparently other adults in the proship server who, assuming they're either not stupid or ignorant, wouldโve seen and called it out immediately as Mothy was openly 19 and NSFW was not allowed as far as i'm aware.
And the last point i want to make, seeing that this would become way too long if i was to add every single tiny one. Again about rather trivial info.
Alex in their document, in the section about confronting Mothy, mentions of Ikami apparently talking about killing herself in the TSBS discord server, along with the harassment and slandering which has been happening between Ikami, Dana and Ceph/Twinanimatronics (in which direction it fully was in I'm not aware).
Number one, in regard to the claim of Ikami speaking of killing herself. I've gone the lengths to look through her messages in the TSBS server myself, especially around the time in which the Miku episode and Ikamiโs psychotic episode happened, and have not found anything remotely close.
So if Dana and Ceph, the ones who allegedly reported this to the mods, have evidence of this actually happening. I would love to see it.
And number two, the personal drama between Alex, Ikami, Mothy and Alexโs friends, iโm sorry to say this, is such a nothing burger and is frankly inappropriate to add in an allegation document of grooming. It wouldโve been way better to have just stuck to the main matter of all of this from the very start, that Mothy was talking inappropriately in the proship server, anything else is not something that I will care about.
Overall, the document is a case in which the more you try to make sense of it, the more it falls apart. Whenever itโs because of lacking context, trivial information which distracts from the main point, an unrelated party which was dragged in and framed without any actual proof, ect. Or that is at least how i feel.
4) - final thoughts.
Now, with everything i've said above, i'd like to emphasize, I do not want anyone in this situation to get harassed as that will amount to nothing.
All that I personally wish is for Mothy to seek help with the issues that they have, work to get better and for something like this never to happen again (which, considering their apology post. It sounds like they're not afraid to admit fault, which is a first step). For the minors to take care. And for everyone here to perhaps consider and be mindful how they spend their time online and in what spaces, as from what I've seen in my time on the internet, the proship space and those similar has many times been the breeding ground for predatory weirdos to take advantage of those younger and vulnerable.
If you have questions or anything you want to say, you are more than free to reach out to me privately, as I'm not going to clutter up my blog with replies to reblogs. Of course with that being said, keep in mind, i will not tolerate insults, slurs or threats of any kind.
Here's the links to the document posts of both Alex and Ikami so you can read and come to your own informed opinion on all of this.
(And please, for the love of god. When it comes to allegations online, always take it with a grain of salt until both sides have spoken. Iโve seen countless times where false allegations have ruined peopleโs reputations and lives. And I would rather wait than look like an idiot.)
