In February of 2018, I made a post on Tumblr asking if anyone would like to make a Discord group so we could rabbit the new EQG specials when they came out. I had been in the fandom for about just over a year at this point and decided I finally wanted to try my hand at making some friends.
One of the people who responded to me was someone who goes by the name of “Dash”. Since then they have swapped to other usernames such as just-cant-catra-break on tumblr, jupiter rising on other writing platforms, ACatrastrophe on twitter, and catranyan#4210 on discord. (If other usernames and aliases are learned this shall be updated.)
In the MLP fandom they are better known as “TheNewYorkBrony”, and would constantly go on about past drama with other “horse famous people they used to be friends with” for months on end until they eventually tried to reconcile with these individuals at Brony Con. I won't include who these individuals are due to the fact I don’t want them to be pulled into this mess, and I just want to express how much of a danger Dash is rather than muddy the names of other people who are victims in this whole situation.
This constant berating of their old friends included sharing with us (our initial small group of 5 friends which then expanded once I opened a public server for other fans to make friends) private information about them. Sharing secret (NSFW) audio files with us, telling us about their personal lives, and other confidential things that Dash had no right to do.
On top of this, Dash had made many advancements on girls who were underage. Dash is 22.
When I first started my account I was only 17 and had posted pictures of myself in cosplay, which Dash had later informed me after we became “friends” that they thought I was “really hot/sexy”. They confessed to having a crush on me when I was 18 and I had turned them down saying I wasn’t interested. They replied with “there’s always the future!”.
I’m not the only girl Dash did this with.
Other girls included other 17 year olds from our public server “The Open House of Canterlot” which, again, in this document I will keep anonymous due to not wanting to have their name’s dirtied with this whole situation.
One girl in particular had shared a selfie in one of the channels to which Dash replied with “You’re hot/cute” which had made the girl uncomfortable, but she decided to just brush it off initially. After that Dash continued to make innuendos towards her, saying “I love you” etc, and Dash even confessed their feelings (on VC) for the girl. She turned them down but Dash continued to comment “sexy

” and repeat all the previous things they had said to the girl before.
The girl had voiced her discomfort to the mods (myself and our other friends) who spoke to Dash, and then the girl ultimately confronted Dash herself.
The advancements continued regardless.
After the mods and the girl got closer Dash became bitter and hopped into a separate group chat (with other minors, some of which being 16) and began berating the girl, myself and our other friends, behind our backs, all whilst maintaining an air of friendliness to our faces.
Dash continued to make advances on any other “attractive girl who was nice to them” saying things like “they’re mine” and becoming passive aggressive and snippy with anyone else who tried getting close to the other girls.
After being told off multiple times by groups of people, being informed that they were making people uncomfortable (especially the girls they were trying to pursue), they would then try to play the victim when retelling the events to others in an attempt to cover their own back and make themself out to be the victim.
This fact is most prominent in regards to one girl in their first She Ra server (The Litter Box) before they were subsequently KICKED from it (by a minor) because of their inappropriate behaviour which I will expand upon later in this document.
Dash went into VC to inform all of the members of their server that they had a crush on another member who wasn’t present. After that, whenever Dash was in VC with this girl things would be very tense and uneasy. The girl came home from a party and joined VC (while still drunk) to let everyone know she got home safe. Dash then sent her a DM letting her know they they had a crush on her. Everyone in the call was made very uncomfortable, the girl let Dash know they’re feelings weren’t reciprocated, and Dash instead played the victim when the girl ultimately snapped at them for not taking no for an answer.
One thing, in particular, that is the most alerting is their grooming of younger individuals in certain servers (most prominently their own, though). They allow minors into NSFW channels, even when other mods had strongly spoken against that and role blocked under 18 members from those channels. After those mods would log off, Dash would go on and give the minors permissions to access the channels. Once this had been called out Dash would instead message the minors in DMs for NSFW content-- or even just flat out allow others to post NSFW content in their general channel. This also included watching an anime (Nana) with teens who were under 18 that showed blatant nudity, then complained about being called out for this.
They would take advantage of emotionally vulnerable teens who were younger than them, dump their own issues onto them, and use them as a means to talk badly about people who wouldn’t give them attention or return their affections.
They prey on younger people’s vulnerability and want to feel mature, allowing them to get close or by showing them inappropriate content, and then once other 18+ individuals call them out they then play the victim, run into DMs or private group chats with their younger “friends” and belittle the concerns of the other, older people, to make the younger ones feel more mature than them. They would promote an “us vs them” mindset and would take advantage of the divide that would create as the younger members would see the older members as “enemies” rather than just older people who wanted to look out for their safety and had only good intentions at heart.
Dash would purposely rile people up, and to back track on the comments they would make about and towards me, would claim that they “loved pissing me off because I was hot when I was angry”-- in front of my girlfriend, no less.
Dash has no respect for people’s boundaries, even if they are in an exclusive relationship. They would gloat about how their “ex-friend” would send them nudes whilst being engaged and instead of being the mature and responsible adult that they always claim they are, they would call their friend’s fiance a “cuck” or relish in the fact that they were “getting some action” from a female that would give them even the slightest bit of attention.
Moving on from this, however, another thing that I feel is a concern for others is that Dash constantly asks for money. Dash had previously complained to our server (The Open House of Canterlot) that their “career in the mlp fandom was over” as they were losing supporters on Patreon, and so I had suggested they find a new media or fandom to sink their teeth into. In return they went into another group chat and complained about my advice and called me privilege for simply not living in America.
Over the course of knowing them Dash had claimed to be on food stamps-- a term they use flippantly, as if it stands to mean that one can’t afford food, when in actuality food stamps are used to buy food exclusively so as to use your income for other things--, that their mother was going through chemotherapy, as well as many other things that made them out to be someone who was in need of financial help. However, Dash also has a collection of many pricy Funko Pops, attended multiple concerts, owns a gaming PC, and has a dog to look after (of which they mistreat-- yelling at him, not training him and then scolding him, and complaining about simply walking him).
Dash would gloat about the prices of things they owned, complained about not being able to preorder other highly expensive items and merchandise they wanted, but then would go onto their FimFIction account-- their main tumblr (
the-great-and-powerful-satsuki)-- their porn tumblr to ask for money or sell nudes to get it. They took on a $300+ commission for a “first date SciSet” fic and spent the money almost immediately, and still to this day, hasn’t written the fic.
Dash also demanded their She Ra server pay them 60$ for a crack fic of Adora and Catra playing Fortnite.
On top off all of this, though, they would continue to just make inappropriate comments-- such as claiming they wanted to shoot up their school-- and ultimately was just a very negative individual to be around. They are emotionally draining and manipulative, and I want everyone to stay safe and away from this individual as much as possible.
