[0:00] This is the first time I've ever done a livestream on Instagram, so I'm not really sure exactly how it goes. I guess... Before I get into the icky stuff that is being thrown at not only my system, but also this is affecting a lot of people in the community, not just us, and... yeah, a family member of mine was threatened, and though I do believe that they're safe, um... it was a shock, because nothing like this has ever happened since we started social media, and so it is important... it is important that I address the rumors that are being said about us, that I address the video that twisted information and I... I've always... I've always been afraid of this kind of thing happening, but... it... I never expected it to be like this, ever.
[2:14] First of all, I want to say that these accusations are being made at me, Nan. They have nothing to do with Jeremy, Riven, or anyone else in the system. I understand system responsibility, and so everyone, everyone who is a part of this system is gonna... is gonna have to deal with this life, the way it happens. But I'm really sad that the channel that Jeremy worked so hard to create (Dissociadid comment: 'Explain the facts babe') and that we all have worked so hard to maintain and to help people and to help bring a community together, to help spread awareness around this disorder, to help give people a place... where they feel understood, and accepted...
[3:38] Okay. So I'm... I'm just going to get right at it. I'm aware that there's a certain hate website out there that's gonna try to record this livestream. They have this hobby of stalking not only me and my fiancee and partner system, but also a lot of other DID systems. Um, so this website will most likely be recording this. And so, hi guys! I understand that you might twist this shit, and that's... there's nothing that we can do about this. All I can do... all I can do is say the truth.
[4:30] I'm very dissociated, so I'm going to try and be as eloquent as possible. So... I'm not sure, um, how long the website has been around. I've only recently... (Dissociadid comments: 'Just tell the truth hon') okay, anyway.
[4:52] So, recently, on YouTube somebody made a series of videos accusing me and my partner system of 'fetishising the disorder' [fingerquotes], because our systems have separate relationships between us, like Kyle and Jeremy are in a relationship, me and Nin are in a relationship, Riven and Nin are... in a ... thing... and so, he made this video, and it got views. And I think that he thought, oh okay, if I do some more digging, maybe I can make some more videos with more views. And so, he searched through the internet, and he found old drawings that I did. I was ignorant in the way I presented those drawings.
[6:12] I don't want to go public about this private aspect of me, Nan. But I have a sexual fetish... trigger warning, I'm going to be talking about fetishes. My sexual fetish is for sneezing. I have never, in all of my years up to this point, I have never been accused of that being harmful. And... I was at first very, very confused why people were upset.
[7:07] On this old - I used to draw fetish pictures, now for folks that have fetishes, you might understand that a fetish isn't always sexual. A fetish is more of an affinity; especially for me, I'm an asexual person. My affinity towards sneezing has pretty much been there since I was a child, and it's not something I can control. Um... my fetish is the only thing that can cause any sort of sexual response at all in me, and I hate having to come out on the internet and talk about my goddamn sexual interests. It's... It sucks. And I hate saying that. However, I was an idiot in the past. I would draw these pictures of video game characters sneezing, of people's fursonas sneezing, I would make money. And this helped me, (Dissociadid comments: So it's not always sexual. You're doing great)
[8:32] I've been disabled, on federal government assistance since 2012, and... it really helped me through some rough times to have a niche fetish community that I could draw stuff for, and... I have drawn people's fursonas, I have drawn video game characters...
No, sneezing is not always sexual. Just like if somebody has a fetish for... catgirls, or a fetish for male presenting chests, if they see - some catgirls are gonna be sexy, some male chests are gonna be sexy, sometimes they're not.
[9:41] People have the right to feel hurt because of these rumors. But... okay, I'm really dissociating. Okay. So... I would draw these pictures of characters sneezing, and... So basically, a sexual fetish, the difference between a sexual fetish and a kink is that a sexual fetish is something that you have since early childhood, it's something that just is - I don't know why it happens, there's various reasons, various theories as to why people have fetishes - but, um, I am...
[10:45] I don't know, i've always been interested in sneezing. I thought it was cute. And yes, sometimes sneezing is sexy. Sometimes. It is the only way I can experience anything sexual. I am asexual, and I don't understand sexuality very well. In the past, when I was drawing these fetish pictures, I have never once been accused of anything like - trigger warning - pedophilia, or child endangerment, or CP.
[11:50] I have drawn video game characters before, whose 'canon age' [fingerquotes] is underage. Those pictures I drew were not meant to be sexy; they were [homage?] to the character, because I appreciated the character, and I thought it was cute. It was my mistake to put pictures like that, as well as pictures that were actually sexual to me, in the same blog, and label that blog a porn blog. That was my mistake. That was wrong, and I am very, very - honestly -
[12:55] - oh, I lost my train of thought, I'm sorry. Um... So... I don't know what I was saying. I think the characters he specifically mentioned in his video were Tails the fox - I don't know how people could have seen that picture as even remotely sexual, and it was not meant to be sexual - like I said, it was my bad on including that picture on a blog that I had carelessly labeled as porn. I did not understand the implications of that word, and now I know, and I'm really glad this came to awareness, actually, so I could take down the blog, so no one has to be hurt by my stupid mistake. I am kicking myself.
[13:59] Let me see, let me see. I drew Tails the fox, and that was meant to be cute, I dont' know how anybody could interpret that as sexy. I drew Rainbow Brite, because I wanted to draw her outfit, but I definitely made sure she had boobs in the picture to show that she was not a child. He put up a picture... he put up a comic I did as a comission for somebody, they wanted - they were part of the furry community, they wanted [macro micro?] to be a part of it -
[14:46] [reading chat? reading script?] oh, um, okay, so - Steven Universe, Jeremy when he was young, okay. So I explained Tails, I explained Rainbow Brite, so the comic of the wolf sneezing onto the smaller wolf. That smaller wolf was not supposed to be a baby wolf. You're entitled to think it's nasty. It's not a fetish I think everyone is going to have, I think a lot of people are going to think this fetish is disgusting, and... this is kind of why I didn't want it to be fucking public, because this is my personal thing, it's hard to - as an asexual person - to explain that semblance of sexuality I have. I don't like it.
[15:41] Um... I drew Rainbow Brite's outfit, I did not draw Rainbow Brite as a child, I drew her outfit on an adult body. Um... anyway. The [macro/micro?], it was a larger wolf sneezing onto a smaller wolf. It was not a child wolf, it was a 'micro', that was the, um, what was it called? - that was what they comissioned me to do.
[16:28] The Steven Universe pictures, um... all of those were of the gems. The gems aren't children, and yet again, because I like the show Steven Universe, um... [long pause] I'm tired. I'm trying to, um... I'm trying to stay present, I'm sorry, I'm dissociating. (Dissociadid comments: 'You're doing good hun')
[17:24] Steven was not included, I think I drew Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl, and... then, the pictures that I've drawn, um... the pictures that I've drawn of Jeremy in the past, and that Seth drew of Jeremy, it was suggested that this somehow implies that Nan is a danger - I don't actually know how it implies that I'm a danger, honestly.
[18:07?] - I know that there was that video that I suggested that all of my alters sneeze and compare, um, that idea was meant to be cute, and not sexual, I do not sexualize my alters, but I understand why people would be concerned. It was an innocent idea. Maybe I came up with that idea because I have a fetish, but it wasn't meant to [mocking] sway children into the ways of the sneeze fetish.
[18:49] Now, the pictures that I have drawn of Jeremy in the past - I used to draw pictures of Old Jeremy, before he could age slide, when he was a consistent age of 26 and then 27. I meant, I drew those pictures to be cute, because I used to think it was cute. I used to think it was cute that he would whine and complain when the body got sick. I understand that it wasn't fair of me to take something that made him uncomfortable, and... I don't know... think it was cute. I feel bad.
[20:00] [incoherent?] [reading out] Did you intentionally [intend? attempt?] to endanger and sexualize the audience? No. I do not see that narrative, but it's what's being suggested. Did I intentionally intend to endanger and sexualize the audience? What audience? No, no, never.
[20:23] Um... Jeremy would put up with those pictures, and be like, okay, whatever, you guys can make fun of me if you want, you guys can think it's cute when I'm upset - and then the winter of 2018 and 2019 happened, and being sick became something that wasn't just his job to take care of when the body was sick.
As far as I know, my brother is okay, as of now. I hope so. Um... - I'm dissociating.
[21:27] It was dumb of me, (Dissociadid comment: I think you addressed everything honey. You can stop anytime.)
it was dumb of me to use the word porn in that blog, but that is the only thing that I can acknowledge as a mistake. I don't want to kinkshame myself or anybody else who has a sneeze fetish, or any other fetish in general. I don't think... I don't think that this... I'm very sad that this is the Internet's business at all. I had honestly forgotten that that blog existed, and I'm... I understand why people are upset. I never meant to hurt anybody, or endanger anybody, or bring anybody to this... [incoherent - 22:26] sneeze fetishists, because that's dumb. This is a very very very obscure, unusual, uncommon fetish, and it's honestly my business. It's not the Internet's business, but hey, it's the Internet, and... unfortunately, beacuse of the amount of subscribers we have... we are gonna get hated on for anything, right now.
[23:06] I am so sorry for anybody that was hurt by these rumors and these accusations. Honestly, my system is fucking hurt by these rumors and these accusations. I just found out, today actually, that one of the abusers that I had in the past... cause my system does have a long history of child sexual abuse... is getting reported, after years and years. And... it's really fucking with me (Dissociadid comment: I love you) and I see other people on the Internet, within the DID community, being attacked, and... (Dissociadid comment: It's okay it's okay) I don't know what else to do.
[24:15] So... I've said my piece, I've said my truth, I admit that I was careless and negligent (Dissociadid comment: Honey you can stop) and stupid for using a word I didn't understand. I love you too, Dissociadid. I love you too. I don't want anybody to be hurt, and, um...
[24:41] One last thing before I stop, I'm also aware that this guy says I have a majority of a younger audience. Actually 93% of the viewers on our channel are 18 years or older, most of them are older than 18. So... that's a mistake. The drawings of Jeremy were drawn before he could age-slide. I don't... I don't know what else to do.
[25:20] Hi to everybody on KiwiFarms! I hope... I hope you guys have a great time with more fodder to make fun of me and the rest of this community that has already been so traumatized. (Dissociadid comment: Log off babee) Really, you guys could be doing so much better with your life than picking on a marginalized group of people.
[25:49] Alright. I don't know what else to say, so I'm gonna go. Bye.
