I took some time to figure out how I want to say this.
Ultimately, I’m going to say what I need to, and I know there will be those who will try to read between the lines, find holes, and twist my words how they want. I can’t change that. The only thing I have control over is what I can say now. The “we demand proof” crowd will never be satisfied with anything any emotionally abused victim provides, so I will just state some facts instead that show what type of character is present here.
1) Karissa posted a thread about her experiences with him. I am the friend she mentions halfway through the thread.
2) She does not include my name in that thread
3) But you already know it’s me because he named me publicly in his own tweets and without my consent
4) He mentions we saw each other for years after our first meeting. He and I were seeing each other from September 2013 to September 2014. I have not seen him since.
5) When I saw the first tag where he mentions me, I DMed him with a request to remove me from the thread because I felt uncomfortable being named.
6) He did not remove me nor did he delete any tweets naming me.
7) I now cannot send him DMs, but he has not blocked me. This leads me to believe he saw my DM.
8) Those tweets are still active as of this post
9) If someone asks you to not do something because it makes them uncomfortable/scared and you do it and/or make no move to remedy the situation? You’re not a good person.
10) A writer who has worked on successful RPGs, who understands how the written language works, should know how to write an apology. Outing a victim, naming them repeatedly out to the public, and writing “I should have been better, and I apologize” is not an apology; it is a dog whistle.
You don’t do that to someone you supposedly care about. You just don’t.
