To whoever anonymously gave me a month of Core Membership, thank you. I'm curious as to why you'd want to remain anonymous, but good on you, friend.

I'm sure many of you are aware of the recent drama on dA over reported artwork and stories. I won't name names, but I will say that nobody involved has handled this in a way I could consider acceptable. The person doing the reporting, naturally, has been causing problems and a few of us are trying to help them through their issues calmly.

The response by the so-called "victims" has also been unacceptable. Calling the person out publicly and getting their fans and friends to abuse them is disgusting and reductive. You have to either go through official channels to have the offender disciplined, or you can try to seek a peaceful resolution. Escalating the situation will not help anyone. If you have posted journals encouraging abuse, I urge you to redact them. Spite is a powerful motivator and further demonising a person can incite them to dig in their heels and double down on their decisions.

I understand you're angry, and rightfully so, but please lay off this person so we can help them get better to prevent this from happening again. I encourage you to show this to the people involved and spread the word to help us resolve this peacefully. Thank you.
