legit has anyone ever sent all this to the FR devs? and maybe the Tumblr devs while they're at it.
i know most times behavior off-site isn't actionable but i have a hard time believing FR is okay with such an obvious grifter on their minor-friendly website.
like seriously what if they were to berate or otherwise guilt-trip a minor into using their parent's credit card or something? scammers shouldn't be knowingly allowed on a website with children on it.
AC @'s the Flightrising tumblr account pretty frequently so i would not be surprised if they aren't already aware, to some degree anyway. i agree with you, though i don't know if they've ever made mention of money/donations/ko-fi on site? which might be why, especially given the huge hassle i'm sure they made for staff when their previous accounts were banned.
i have sent many posts and some of their twitter posts where they harassed site artists on a couple of occasions (because i want staff to give their team extra support when users are going out of their way to harass them offsite). i got a response that they looked into it and logged it for future reference, but i don't think they can do much about it until it happens on their website.
not too familiar with posting here or if this forum is still active. writing in to say i WAS a minor that they welcomed into their skype chat and GW2 guid (WW who is not their bio sibling but a lifelong friend, shrieking-banshee on tumblr, actually bought me the game at the time so i could play with all these adults including her) who did ask my family if we could give astral (fka raja - they claim to be white & lakota, not asian indian despite the former name) money/buy them things a few times. really traumatic experiences with them overall and glad i got out of there quickly. this was around 2013-2017 iirc and i still have the first posts of them interacting with me on my tumblr just to remind myself it wasn't a fever dream. i assume they lurk on threads like these, will see my comment here, and will once again (!) name drop me for abandoning them as a teenager. they are six+ years older than me and most of their friends ard in that range; i was the youngest ever welcomed in and praised for my maturity. scary.
^me again. just saw their manifesto for the first time thanks to their thread and am cuted as a reason by name they were gatekept from something... when i made my FR account to play with them, never played (wasn't interested), and gave it to my partner very quickly? i have never done anything to them except say one (1) insensitive thing and refuse to apologise. i'm not here to attempt to clear my name or anything (as if anyone cares, anyway), but... wow. weird.
