I used to be a fan of them.
So like many others that have posted here before, I am dissapointed, but not surrpised about this whole attitude of PK acting like the victim.
Eevee writing a long ass textwall of "proof" where the internet are being meanies to him and his household. If I've been following this thread correctly, he has written now 800+ pages that do not talk about anything else but... His cat passing away? Like, my condolences, and all that. But. I thought said pet had died long time ago. Loss can hurt for sure, but... Life goes on. You've to move on. And the grief you might feel, is never an excuse to be a prick to others.
If you have time to write such pages with so much passion, he should maybe perhaps probably use this ability of his to write an actual book. He's been acting delirious enough to write a great story about Fiction.

And Marl... Coming out to light what kind of individual he really is. Individual, I said? Slap me on the face. Beast. I don't think he's allowed to be called a human at this point. Fucking sick.
Anyway.
Been following PK since way before PMD-Explorers was a thing. Because, come on, a person that draws pokemon and their avatar is a Kecleon that happens to be Purple? Sign me the fuck up.
I was a kid back then, and maybe it was me being dumb, or ignorant, or whatever you call it. But I never imagined it'd come to this type of shit, the whole pedophila, non-consensual relationships, and... Pretty much everything that has already been mentioned.
So, fast forward, because who the fuck cares about things I can't even be bothered to remember.
PMD-E was born. Purplekecleon's popularity sky rocketed to... Well, the sky. Of course I joined, I loved pokemon back then. Still do, it's fun to look at how it has aged. Back in my day we got shitty animation, and shitty characters and a crapload of other stuff compared to what the animation of the show is now airing. Love it.
Derailing again.
The story of PMD-E started pretty okay, it was fun, the community was fun, it had its problems here and there, but everyone was willing to adapt and change stuff.
It wasn't until later Missions/Events that the group had, when there was this... Weird exposure to PK's adult art.
At the time I was a minor no longer, but it did feel weird how easy it had been to find their adult tumblr. There was a blatant link that took you to it.
I know teens are curious, and hormones usually cloud one's judgmente because I don't know, teenagers get horny. Whatever, I get that. They know what they are doing when visiting these types of sites. Illegal? Definitely, as they are not of age to be doing these visits. But come on, who the fuck was a paragon when they were that young? We'd always find a way to get away with what we wanted, in this instance, accesing to ooOooOoOoh poooOoooOrn.
Point established.
Next.
deviantART has a minimun age requirement of 13 to be able to register. That's honestly no age to be exposed to pornographic material.
(Derailing a bit for some mention of what happened to me with a similar event. I was at a friend's. And his parents were out, because that's what parents do.
He turns to us "So hey, you wanna see something cool"? and he pulls out a folder piece of paper.
Oh neat, maybe he drew something, or found a new videogame he wants. Who knows what I was thinking back then.
So, he goes and unfolds said paper. So there's this naked woman spreading her legs, with her vagina in sight.
So, of course, everyone just starts acting like the best thing in the world had happened to them. While I stood there, confused. I didn't get what was so important about a photo of a vagina.
What I am trying to say, is that each individual will react differently when encountering this type of stuff.
I believe I told my parent about that when she came pick me up. She was pissed, and I didn't even know why. Haha)
Had that happened to me when I was younger, I'd be so confused as to why Payapa(PK's avatar) and Shroomsworth(Luvaci's avatar iirc) were... Doing what they were doing lmao.
So, no filter. No warning. No nada. It's even on the ToS of dA that you're not allowed to link from dA to other sites that contain adult art.
That's one of many strikes to PK's history of fuck ups.
Also, I saw the Twitter incident of uploading a pair of bare breasts to her SFW account.
Honestly? I'm unphased by boobs, dicks, vagubas, you name it. But if someone asks you (relatively) politely to filter it. You don't throw a fit over "HOW THE USA SHOULD CHANGE THEIR WAY OF THINKING".
PK's ego seems to make her think the whole world is wrong, and she's right no matter what- OH WAIT. That's what this thread is all about!
Moving on, it wasn't long until Marl also appeared on scene. He barely interacted with anyone, as he had no artistic talent whatsoever, or something like that was brought up. But we did know Devonshire, the Zangoose, and I don't know who else, were written by him. PK just made sure of getting his self inserts there as well.
Also. I didn't see anything mentioned about Mikemander, one of the ex-mods of PMD-E, so sorry if I am repeating information.
Mike was into vore fetish stuff and what not, but to know it, you had to dig info about him. Not that he was ashamed as far as I can remember, but did play by the rules, I guess.
PK kicked Mikemander out of the mods, because he had posted on tumblr something about "never receeving any type of gifts on Christmas". The PMD-E community, being good willed individuals, drew a ton of fanart for him, of his Charmander character (though I do believe the Charmander was already a Charmeleon by now). I thought it was pretty neat. I love that people draw my shit. I don't care how bad or good they think it is. It's a nice thought, yanno?
I saw the recent event with JimJams(?), and I give you all a graceful bow for being such cool people with him.
Either way, PK explained that they kicked Mike because how dared a mod use his power to demand others to draw free stuff for him (Hypocrite paralel much? Hmm.)
So that was pretty much the end of Mikemander's presence on the internet, as I don't remember him ever being mentioned again. Don't know any single thing about him as of now.
So... I guess another victim claimed by PK's general assholery.
PK's art was influential to me. I liked their colors, and didn't feel so bad about my anatomy, because the fuck, their anatomy sucked ass. They were good enough when drawing pokemon, but as for the rest... It was pretty mediocre.
Admiration? Check. Wanting to be their friend? Check. Sugarcoating all the shit they pulled to hurt others? Check- Wait what?
Yeah. I used to think because PK was a popular artist, her drawing child pokemon porn made me think that "maybe it's not so bad... I mean, in the end it isn't hurting anyone. PK is not hurting anyone, are they? Pk is an artist I look up to, so maybe it is fine I draw child pokemon adult art".
That's one of the examples I have when I decided to take PK's side, and convince myself rape art, and child porn was okay. It always felt weird, and I did try rape illustrations, but in the end I always felt bad.
But I stayed quiet. I was a nobody anyway. What kind of influence would I have been to ermugurd, mah iduuul.
I am guilty of staying neutral when the Pengo incident happened. I believed PK's lies and Eevee's claims of Pengo just being butthurt over the end of their relatioship.
Not sitting this one out, I ain't staying quiet.
Like I said at the start, I am not that much renown, so PK never had any interest in interacting with me. I don't have much information on myself about the beast trio. But I can offer morale support to the rest if that's what it is required right now.
