All of Duchess's social media is linked on her FR tumblr, which is linked on her FR profile. She was active on multiple sites during this, but couldn't hop on discord to give a quick update, apparently.
I don't want to directly link these profiles because they are full of the kind of information you should never share with a stranger on the internet. Seriously, everything and more.
You don't even have to look off-site for this. She had achievement activity on Aug 28 during fest week. Granted, collecting achievements is easier than communicating on Discord but still, it's very suspicious.
Pessi: I took a look at the social media and yeah, there's some concerning things on there in terms of oversharing. Especially with her twitter, I saw some anti-white and anti-america stuff on there among other strongly worded things, as well as NSFW comments which.. idk. I won't get into it, but it was definitely offputting for me, and I don't think that's a great look for someone currently representing firedom among other things. There's also older posts where she traveled right around when I would assume a flameforgers push was going on... Which, it states that she travels or wants to travel a lot. Make what yall will of this.
And i'm not one to look through things like this, but all of this was laughably easy to access... I'm surprised there were no background checks performed or anything prior to her stepping up..? Then again, I don't think Flight Rising is a platform most would go that far to do so I suppose. Either way, that's another reason I am offput by her being the current lead, her behavior on her socials is not professional whatsoever and it seems to reflect how she's treated others in the past.
Pessi: A follow up to this actually, I believe back when she was solely... "moderating", she made this post on her twitter:
"lords above save me from the fragile emotions of teens in discord server lol I understand and empathize but like, an adult saying they would not like to interact with you and asking you politely to comply is not illegal holy shit
also, posting triggering shit about suicide un-spoilered in public channels and then pikachu-facing when people kinda dislike you after??? child you are causing me physical pain istg" - Posted on November 9th 2021
From my understanding and what I've been told, there was a young ember dealing with some things mentally, and I believe it was also known that they also have mental issues going on on top of it. While that is not an excuse for their behavior, the fact that Duchess posted this publicly on her Twitter is also not excusable. It's one thing to vent about the situation privately, but when you are publicly posting this *as the dom lead AND community manager*- since there were no moderators during this time, is very unprofessional and harmful. I hope the person who she was talking about did not come across this at the time, because considering what I can tell from their mental health at the time based on what I'm going off of here, it could've ended VERY poorly.
Again, a simple background check can really help you see the character of someone. I've heard about others being made very uncomfortable by Duch for coming to her for very important things only to be dismissed. I recall when I made the IF Fire server there were people grateful that there were mods specifically for this reason- and im fairly certain that is what pushed duchess to finally hire mods in the OOF Fire server in the first place.
Again I apologize if I am being very blunt or harsh, but again, this among a lot of other things has left a very sour taste in my mouth and this is why I no longer will work with AA under Duchess.
Meh, was the twitter her personal twitter or FR twitter? If the latter sure that's a little weird, but I don't think you need to represent your dom team on your personal twitter lol. Those tweets are correct.
Not quite sure, but it's not like it isn't easy to access regardless. Her FR tumblr takes you to her personal one, and from there you can easily find her Twitter. It would again, be one thing if this was a personal private twitter, but she posts all of these publicly and they are very easy to find for anyone that looks at her FR stuff.
there is nothing wrong with dom orgs traveling as long as there are other dom orgs to pick up the slack, which frankly they could have done if they knew duchess was unreliable. I think you should stick to criticisms of how she stole items or whatever because your concern over her "anti-America" sentiments would make half of FR roll their eyes. not to mention the anti-America tweets were pertaining to football lol.
It's the fact that she did not inform any of the fellow orgs of this to my knowledge nor the flight in general, and I think if you've been following what's been going on with FireDom, you know of the FF2022 drama that happened last year as well.
These contain screenshots of her twitter last year when she was traveling during a flameforger's push I believe. Iirc nobody was informed of this either. https://imgur.com/a/PgLASAw
I don't see anything problematic here. tbh some of the selections make me suspicious of you, Pessi! you've mistaken Eurovision tweets for genuine anti-America sentiment (which isn't a problem either frankly, especially since she seems to have some connection to the Middle East) and are you seriously trying to claim that someone calling themselves a "dumb horny bitch" is NSFW? I am pretty confused as to why this is all evidence of why she sucks as a person considering there's nothing wrong here. I mean maybe I missed something but the fact that you're reaching so hard is making you look bad.
Gonna be so fr, I have no idea what Eurovision is but to say i'm reaching when there's little to no context regarding to the posts in the first place then... I don't know what to tell you. Not to mention there is more concerning things posted in there.
Also again, this is someone representing the flight, not sure if you are an ember or not but personally, as an ember, I do not feel comfortable with our lead going around saying these kinds of things. It's lowkey embarrassing on top of the current state of dom and the other behaviors listed here.
I'm going to be honest with you, you harping on these is a really bad look. None of these tweets are that bad and are completely irrelevant to the issue at hand.
I'm gonna be honest, based entirely on these tweets, I would consider Duchess someone I could potentially be friends with (apart from the ya know, theft and whatnot). I would not at all feel embarrassed to have someone saying these things and would probably like them more. I hope you get the dom experience you want because you clearly care a lot but you wouldn't last in my flight if you thought all of that was an issue and I wouldn't want you as a dom lead if this is the sense of judgment you have.
She must have deleted some of her stuff because the most recent stuff I saw on twitter was from Eurovision, and she hasn't been active on her personal tumblr in six months.
Oh she did delete stuff. Which to me proves that she was lying about her injury because pessi posts this shit and then it vanished almost instantly from her stuff fml duchess needs to leave fire alone
