yo edgedestroys here, just wanted to clarify what's up with all this after talking to this kid.
1. I did in fact never intend to dox him or publish information and told others not to contact his parents unless it seemed like the only viable way to get him out of the situation because as jaiman said, foxler's dipshit goblin clubhouse isn't really a place for a minor. toothpaste is already out of the tube on this one space pirate but I figured my own dox was inevitable so at least I can stop waiting for it now. you did a way better job than whoever made the first attempt.
2. just spent a few hours talking to him and uh... whew I don't really know how to unpack the conversation but he asked me himself to publicly clarify stuff. what he told me personally is that when he said "pet" it was "nonsexual" to him (taken with a grain of salt since I don't really know him), he said he feels "animalistic" impulses (not in a therian way?) and in order to keep himself from hurting people or acting out he feels a need to basically force himself to adhere to his "moral code" by making himself a pet to someone so he has someone he feels he will betray and thus force him not to act on these impulses. I guess to him "pet" is a sort of "moral contract" to stay chill? Told him he didn't have to stick with the raiders for that and should keep that contact to everyone in general and himself instead of one singular group of jaded shitheads but he's absolutely convinced he can't leave despite telling me they don't actually force him to stick to his code (???) I don't get it either, I guess kudos to him for not wanting to hurt people but it's a hell of a way to impose consequence on yourself and the
absolute insistence that he cannot leave them scares the living shit out of me. like cult shit scary.
3. he's very
very sick of people calling him 15 and he's actually 16, not that it's any less predatory and whack that the raiders are talking about "mentoring" him but hey, the kid's sick of being called 15 I guess.
4. he told me the raiders are "actually really nice and kind to him" and I asked him how long he'd been in them because I've watched their bonkers ass shit for a few years and they are not "nice, kind" people, and I didn't understand how he missed it other than them pulling cult ass tactics and giving him the sugarcoated treatment with lite ideology to snare him before going full blast (obviously paraphrased). apparently he joined the furry fandom back last december so he's only been around 9 months. he told me very shortly after joining furry he found the raider furaffinity page which very cutely says "Our
goals was to help build a stronger and better community while encouraging personal creativity and expression. The only way we could achieve our goals was through equality between everyone." yeah, sure ok. so essentially this kid got into furry, straight away saw the raiders' FA page talking about promoting a wholesome utopia and thought "oh these seem like good people I'll join them".
which is 5. how all of this got started in the first place with me posting the screenshots. I get sent leaks of the raider chat regularly and post them because this ridiculous bullshit nice guy act they barely manage to cobble together on the surface is how they either A) get new young people in or B) claim they aren't "doing anything wrong". This went from "I want you assholes to be transparent and everyone to know what you're really up to" to "holy shit what the fuck is this kid shit". The Indoctrinate Young People Desperate To Fit In With A Group MO is wild with them. Yeah I'm a loud ass leftist SJW but I think it's generally an agreeable thing that minors shouldn't be hanging out with people that say "gas the kikes, race war now" and call the holocaust "the great lie" in a group started by a neonazi wannabe pedophile that tried to groom a puppy to make out with him. not really looking for damage control here, the dox is out so whatever on that but I figured in fairness of managing my own mess I'd clarify some of.... whatever the hell all of this is.
big ol' tl:dr main theme here being the raiders are some scary ass predatory fuckers.
update on behalf of dynastia: the kid isn't a nazi, I don't think he is, himself said he isn't down with racism and generally wants the best for the fandom. still mixed up with WAY the wrong crowd and going about it with some real negative peace mindset shit but nah, the kid isn't a nazi.
Them being totally inclusive to literally anyone is actually what got them trounced by the altright troll guy we've mentioned before.
yeah we're trying to get people to understand the paradox of tolerance but dang dude it's fuckin hard. anyway I'll probably forget the throwaway password I made to post all this in about a week so it's been real I guess my dudes.
