Hi, I'm Orpheus, I'm an adult (24) and use they/them pronouns!

@genetaceae The worst person you know is surrounding himself with people who think grooming and abusive is defensible. A good person wouldn't want to be associated with anything like that, but I guess shitty people will find other shitty people to endanger vulnerable people with

@genetaceae I'm so glad you didn't succeed, but if nothing else, it shows how dark things got for you after what happened. Anyone who was friends with you during this whole situation saw how badly you were affected, and how awful things were back then.

@HorrorVale A PSA for anyone interested in this game, considering it's coming out soon: Know that the developers support abusers, and treat victims as if they're just someone lashing out after a petty squabble and "clearly going through a mental health crisis"

As a heads up to anyone who might be curious: This game is actively platforming and adding the character of my friend's abuser. He knowingly put himself in a position of power over a vulnerable adult, and groomed them into believing they were only worth something with his help.

[FallenOrpheus @FallenOrpheus8]

So I'd advise people stay away from this game if they care about victims. Because they're going to prioritise protecting an abuser and treating a victim poorly. This is the attitude of the Horrorvale team towards a victim of abuse. This is how they talk about abuse victims.

[FallenOrpheus @FallenOrpheus8]

Augustine exploited the vulnerability of my friend for an ego boost, and when they had a mental breakdown on social media, he got angry that they didn't come to him, and tossed them aside. And Horrorvale fans seem to be refusing to acknowledge that grooming isn't always sexual.

[FallenOrpheus @FallenOrpheus8]

Reputable sources, such as safeguarding charities (NSPCC, Crown Prosecution Service, National Autistic Society) have all recognised the existence of non-sexual and non-financial grooming. It even goes as deep as the existence of 'mate crime'.

[FallenOrpheus @FallenOrpheus8]

On top of this, the game developer I spoke to about this topic, as well as fans of the game, have claimed that this behaviour isn't grooming. But the very definition of grooming is someone being in a position of power where they abuse that power to exploit someone.

@OwengeJuiceTV Your response to all of this is very reasonable and I applaud you for opening a dialogue about it rather than hiding behind an apology and making excuses for yourself. People will forget that it's human to make mistakes, and it takes time to learn and grow.

@Avid_Yt @ilovefurrympreg Out of curiousity, why didn't you remove those assets as soon as you knew better, and replace them with temporary placeholders, rather than continuing to indirectly promote AI generated art?

[FallenOrpheus @FallenOrpheus8]

@Chris2Rue Yes, and it's the exact opposite to the one you posted. Other scanners all have different ideas of confidence. So the images you posted are nonsensical and prove nothing.

[FallenOrpheus @FallenOrpheus8]

@Chris2Rue Hey look, other people can use wildly inaccurate facial estimation tools to get a result that suits their opinion! Almost like facial estimation only uses societal assumptions about sex and gender!

@HonkIfUrHoary "They're no longer invasive" and their population is highly unsustainable, they're a dominant predator, and are strong contributors to spread of diseases like toxoplasmosis, but sure, they're not invasive anymore 🙄

[FallenOrpheus @FallenOrpheus8]

@Olympics "The initiative was aimed at promoting creativity among young people and strengthening their connection to the games" and then going on to feed the art into an AI generator is pathetic. All you're doing is showing that kid that you don't think their art is good enough.

My 4yo just pointed to a table and asked "Why is this a table?"

I've trained my whole life for this.
