I CAME RUNNING when I heard pee man was here!!!!!! Full disclosure: I'm writing the following without even reading his posts yet. Whatever he's saying probably won't make a difference in it.
I can dig up a lot of freaky shit he's said to me if people want it, but I think the way he talks about this situation probably already speaks for itself.
What happened was that there was this anonymous account always sending messages to people about urine and toilets and bathroom habits, and came to be known as "That Anon." Eventually the messages started coming from an account called "Noah Nat," which is just an anagram. One day one of the bloggers in that circle, which he probably names as Kramergate or Beetledrink in his rants, mentioned that the pee anons were kind of weird, and some other people were just kinda like "oh, you get them too? Yeah, they gross us out a little. Maybe we should just finally block them."
So they did, and suddenly this "Noah" and his "friends" just went APESHIT. They called beetle a filthy liar, a bully and an abuser, they claimed that this situation cost Noah his entire friendship network and ruined his life, and they said creepy-ass edgy villain shit like how they want to "cut out [beetledrink's] lying tongue."
This went on a while before more defenses of "noah" started coming from the Lee Sherman account, with Lee claiming he was one of Noah's real-world friends and that he was now sworn to defend his innocent pisspal. Lee had always talked a curious amount about urine and toilets himself, and now was raving at people with the same odd vocabulary as the anons, so we all put two and two together that they're almost definitely one person.
But even if they aren't, it doesn't make a difference. Whether Lee is the original piss guy or just his "friend" he's still now spent years defending that "friend" through bouts of absolutely relentless bombardment, thousands of words at a time about the Innocent Soul's Life Torn Asunder By The Wicked Lying Tongue.
What really gets me is that he keeps making this about me nowadays, when I'm not even one of the original group who got harassed. I didn't even know any of this was going on until like, the following fucking year, when I learned just how much shit he was saying about people I knew and finally stepped in. According to him, my "Betrayal" hurts the most because he felt we were "brothers." I never knew or talked to him more than the average internet acquaintance, or about anything more personal, but that tracks with the kind of guy who also thinks sending people pee questions constitutes real friendship I guess.
I'm sure he's said that we're all just frothing bullies towards him and he probably has screenshots that do look like frothing bullying. That's because he didn't ease up or slow down for years when people totally ignored him and he didn't ease up or slow down for years when any of us tried to just confront and reason with him nicely, so last year, when his threatening of people only escalated, we figured we had nothing to lose if we just gave him a taste of what he puts other people through and flooded his inboxes with the meanest ravings we could all think of. He's only ever acknowledged mine, though, so he either had others blocked or he wants to single me out as uniquely malevolent.
Anyway, that didn't work either, but what did shut him up a while was when his actual doxx turned up. Only part of it got posted, but he immediately confirmed it was legitimate, and not even by some subtle slip but a bona fide "OH NO PLEASE DONT POST THE REST OF MY REAL ADDRESS" type of response. He went quiet ever since, so if he's showing up again now, he either moved or he's just even dumber than that ever implied.
Okay so people are debating a lot on that last page about the tone and intent of my setting of Mortasheen and how it sometimes seems to have flip-flopped, which is a very valid (and for me, fun and interesting) topic.
As something I've expanded for almost twenty years, Mortasheen has gone through a whole lot of changes. The very first year of its existence it was even intended as a straight-up "you play the villain and you commit evil" kind of thing, but that didn't really last long. Everything on the TVtropes page was also still pretty prototypical when it got put up, and wasn't meant to spread around as canon already.
Trashfire's above post correctly summarizes what it's evolved into by now. It's a setting with morbid, over-the-top danger but there isn't clear-cut good and evil; those aren't even "human supremacists," I don't really want anything as unpleasant and sad as nazi allegories. They're just under the control of a scared, protective force that means well, but has robbed them of autonomy in its efforts to keep them safe, and still can't be judged for it on human terms because it's not a human.
I think you're getting a little overboard my dude.
Also the newer one is a much more cooler in my opinion and Bogleech drawing sexy shit is not for me.
Yeah, the old one wasn't meant to be legitimately sexy but have an uncanniness to it, and was also a holdover from when I was more into the "Silent Hill" school of grody, distorted human figures and more Freudian monster designs. It just got kinda old, and it resulted in a lot of monsters that require too much context to "get." the current Harlequeen, I'd like to think, immediately communicates at a glance that it's a deadly, alien thing that only incidentally happens to evoke a humanoid jester.
It's definitely a stretch to say I was just hiding my shame when I'm still doing titty monsters as recently as this year, like the Lascivenus. I just try to use truly humanlike proportions sparingly, to keep at least a faint divide between how I draw monsters and how I draw monster trainers, with exceptions only where it feels right. In general there's dozens, maybe over a hundred monster designs or entire monster concepts completely retired and deleted over the years, but someday I intend to put them all up again in some kind of alternate archive.
Of course when all is said and done he might step in and take all of the credit for the background that the developer put together much like he apparently tried to do with Slimebeast.
Wait, what's this refer to? I've never taken or wanted credit for the complete design of the burgrr website, but the creatures and setting were my own expansions on the Harmburger creepypasta. To my knowledge, Slimebeast has never gone around claiming to have come up with those, and wouldn't need to, since his own story output was still colossal last I saw.
As for the other convo you guys had, I've said this quite a few times now, but people have been angry about my allegedly too left-leaning politics since I started using the internet in the late 90's. There's a long line of people who were "fans" until they found out I had values that offend them, and every so often another one blames whatever relationships I have at the time because they don't want to think they were ever into a
dirty libruhl's bug doodles.
Anyway, here are some of my exchanges with "Terrapin" (Siry/Lee Sherman/probably Noah Nat) that he probably won't ever show people, and there are hundreds more like this between me and the still unknown number of people he bothered with this crap:
Here are some of the original piss anons, not just sent to beetle's tumblr mutuals but people who know them and hang out with them in real life:
Thing is, none of these even offended anyone that much. The worst anybody reacted was "wow this guy's kind of a freak."
In fact, this is the response that started the drama:
It was from this reply that multiple other users went "hey, I get these pee messages too. This kind of isn't cool." Some of these users were underage at the time. This lead to the pee account getting blocked, and nobody thought twice about it until his "friend" started sending people so much harassment to "RESCIND THE LIES!!!!!!!!!"
Now what I wanna know is, if my liberal politics are so controversial and infuriating to people why isn't THAT the reason I get any of these relentlessly obsessive nemeses? Why is it like piss guys and vore inflationists and shit? Is it my drawings? My glowing reviews of pelican eels? Is that the grave I dug??
