i'm just popping in here to be completely transparent about things, since i saw someone mention a page or so back that eevee didn't actually reach out to victims
i had a thread on twitter a while ago about how marl sexually harassed me in the floraverse IRC when i was 18-19, and how glip and eevee's treatment of lain led to me cutting ties with them altogether instead of telling them what he did. i'm the person eevee was talking about when she said she saw a thread going around from someone else who was hurt by marl, but she was blocked so she couldn't personally reach out.
she did send someone to message me
this was a pretty big red flag because "they only dismiss people who are lying?" being afraid of what they would do to me if they thought i was lying was the whole reason i never came forward in the first place, and part of the reason why i locked my twitter account after that thread got more retweets than i was comfortable with. i don't have logs. i never thought to screenshot any of the things marl said to me, i was far more concerned with just getting away from him. if they wanted to tell their thousands of followers i was lying about it to ruin their lives, it's their word against mine.
i've received several messages from people who are still floraverse fans telling me that they were also harassed by marl, but after bigfluff's logs came out they told glip and eevee about it and received nothing but support from them, so that means glip and eevee are totally great and i should talk to them. but that's just proof of the problem to me.
glip and eevee have devoted so much time and effort over the years to calling all of marl's victims liars that a great number of people who still admire them and consider them friends were afraid to tell them about what marl was doing. it should be gravely concerning to glip that their actions led to this many of their friends staying completely silent about the harassment and abuse they faced from their own husband. but they can't apologize for it without saying "but i was marl's victim too!" i don't doubt that they were. marl is an awful person, and i don't think he'd make an exception to that for his wife. but if they can't apologize for the harm they've enabled without trying to gain sympathy for themselves, no matter how unintentional that enabling may have been, that apology will always ring hollow.
