Statement time it seems
Hello. I don't know if this will be removed because of the rules but I am still going to try. I don't plan to do any statements on Twitter so far, I don't owe obsessive Destiny haters any explanations and they can go fuck themselves with their harassment regardless of anything. With dgg however... I feel like I should talk.
Honestly, I don't know what to do or how to feel exactly. I chatted with Steven privately, which I obviously will not be disclosing. But here is where I am at right now: 1) Sharing someone's sexual content with a third party without their consent is fucked up. Steven, in my opinion, didn't try to maliciously hurt anyone, but it happened anyway due to him sharing it in the first place. He was a victim of the revenge porn but he also victimized someone else. That being said, if a friend admits they fucked up big time and is remorseful, I wouldn't cut them off 100% IRL for this sort of action. Same applies here. 2) However, recording someone in a sexual act without their knowing/consent is a whole other dimension of fucked up in my opinion. If that's indeed what happened, then I don't think I could ever trust a person like that with literally anything. Now, I am not saying anyone should 100% believe this with no evidence. I fully plan to wait and see. However, I can't dismiss it either. I would have told anyone to fuck off with this shit just days ago but I cannot, at this moment in time, do that. Simply put, I wouldn't have believed it prior, but now my trust is not where it used to be.
Now, let's adress an elephant in the room. I have no idea where this leaves me and my volunteer work. My trip to the US to meet everyone and do Bridges is canceled, obviously (Bridges themselves might be). But when it comes to volunteer work... I am at a loss. It wasn't Steven donating but dgg community and the community didn't do anything. But it's all connected, obviously. I can already hear screeching "way to make it about yourself" but it isn't... It's about hundreds, if not thousands, of Ukrainian soldiers I was fortunate enough to help thanks to Steven and dgg. Literally today, Evhen wrote to me from a very hot spot in Kharkiv region, all excited with his idea to do something cool to thank dgg and asked for Steven's full name. I didn't tell him anything, duh, why the fuck would I explain any of this to a soldier on the front? But, call me stupid, but I borderline cried reading his message. Because I don't know if I can even post his gratitude shenanigans, both because of my concerns and the avalanche of shit I will now get for it online because of the mentioning of Steven and dgg. To me dgg was a safe space from war. An escape island. Something I only associated with comfort and aid to my people. It was my rock. Something to be fond of. Pure. That is now all tainted with dirt. Let me be clear that nothing will change what dgg did for me and my Ukrainian Armed Forces. Lives saved and comfort given cannot be erased by anything. I will always be grateful to Steven for the opportunity he gave me and to dgg for making it all possible. Fuck, even if I won't be able to do volunteer work in the capacity I did anymore, it was one hell of a journey. It was more than I could ever hoped to manage. Thank you all. I will never let anyone spit on what we accomplished. I am obviously biased and very fond of you guys and Steven. But I also can't just pretend like nothing is going on.
Bottom line: Don't know where this leaves me, you guys or Steven. We shall see I guess. I am very confused. If this gets removed, welp. But hopefully it will be allowed to stay. 💛💙
