I'm more disturbed by the brony bandwagon that 'omg a brony couldn't be a pedophile', when a few years back a brony harassed a minor into giving him a blowjob AND THEN SLUTSHAMED HER later. It's not impossible, but I'm glad if it was fabricated.

That's really awful. :(

Yeah, from what I've heard, this was either really blown out of proportion, or it didn't happened at all.

Either way, it pisses me off.

Yeah, he was a scumbag. I remember one of the excuses he gave was, "I was horny so I couldn't help myself!"

One of the reasons why I wouldn't have doubted this story if not for the 'not telling anyone' thing.

Gross.

Yeah, on my end, I had already read the daily dot article by the time the post came around, so I was already suspicious (give that the dd article only listed one other source to the situation), but the fact that they didn't tell anyone is what drove it from "it might have happened, but I want more evidence then a tumblr post and one person confirming it" to "I don't give two flying fucks if you made this up or not you asshats".

I'm shocked - SHOCKED - to discover that there might be problems with sexual harassment in my extremely sexualized fandom built around the weirdest people on 4chan

I'm not in the fandom and I wasn't shocked. I'm disturbed by their reaction, because it wasn't like something like that hadn't happened before.

People love jumping to the defense of famous people, even if they are just famous in something small like the sphere of a fandom. I've seen this same issue pop up in book fandoms, when the author turns out to be kind of a scumbag, there will always be vocal defenders doing mental gymnastics to justify their idols behavior, especially victim blaming.

But yeah, that guy was a scumbag, and I'm glad that he seems to be mostly persona non grata now in a lot of circles of the fandom, this was one of those cases where the people defending his behavior brought attention from wider audiences in the fandom who were rational enough to step back and tell the guy he needed to fuck off. He actually got booted from a number of collab projects after the fact.
