Oh, thanks, yeah I don't want to just be calling people dumbasses these days if there's a chance they just didn't know something. I don't know lots of things either.
But anyway, I never personally knew anything about this guy, he just followed me for possibly a decade or more and increasingly messaged me in private with longer and longer spiels about how toxic and cringe I am. Sometimes it was because I posted opinions he disagreed with, sometimes because he agreed with me but didn't like how I expressed it or that I argued with somebody else about it, sometimes he'd just completely miss the sarcasm or absurdist intent of a joke post and sometimes it was just that I wasn't posting enough of the content he liked, he blamed my personal life or health and he decided to lecture me about how to fix it.
Eventually I must have had thousands of messages like this built up in my inbox:
Half the time, I couldn't even tell what these things were meant to say.
So anyway at some point he just kinda suddenly started posting screenshots and art of an elaborate RPGmaker adaptation of my webcomic's early chapters, not like a spinoff or "inspired by" kind of thing but a 1:1 adaptation of events and characters redrawn in his style. I tried to be nice about it and I kinda worried how it'd look if I fought against a (presumably???) free fan game someone already worked hard at, but I don't think he grasped that it's at best a really awkward faux pas to dive into that without asking. It doesn't feel great that he'd have known from my blog how much I wanted to make a game myself and still never mentioned he was starting one even while he deluged me with those weird, trivial ravings......fact is I'm easily still niche enough that a fan game couldwell overshadow its source completely and gain a fandom that never notices or cares if I'm even credited.
When I finally decided to block him, something I never normally do to anybody, he started venting here to nobody in particular and occasionally doing stuff like I shared in the last post, approaching total strangers just to apologize to them for whatever he diagnoses as a product of me being autistic.
I did mistakenly think at one point that kiwifarms primarily existed to terrorize and eventually doxx people, like some of the hardcore 8chan spinoffs, and I'm still not sure he didn't think the same thing when he started posting here.
