Time for the pinned message!!
Want to know more about the #jruhub & what a #broker is? Never heard of the #vgenbrokerscam before? Just found out your artist/rigger was with #JRU the whole time thanks to the #vgenbrokerban?
There's a playlist for that:

Let me be clear when I say this, there are no hard feelings I have towards anyone that was criticizing me with good intentions. I made an honest mistake, I own up to it, and I have no hard feelings towards anyone that called me out on that. That includes yourself, so I do want to say thanks as well.
No absolutely. I still acknowledge my mistakes as I said I would. I'm only human, and just because I was right THIS TIME doesn't mean it's not damaging if I was wrong in this case.
I will still treat this as a lesson going forward and keep my initial plan of no longer making JRU videos. I've made enough over the last year, the information is out there, at this point the only thing I plan to do is take care of my JRU Victim Support Group because as long as the JRU keeps up with these shady practices, there will always be new victims.
well we appreciate you taking the time to acknowledge the situation. we think it’s important that we can recognize these things, learn from them, and move forward with a better understanding of one another.
but we do hope you also understand that protecting a community means making sure you don’t end up hurting the very people you’re supposed to protect.
raising awareness about broker scams is important, but so is making sure innocent artists and studios aren’t caught in the crossfire.
Indonesian artists shouldn’t have to constantly prove they’re legitimate just because some people from the same country have been involved in unethical practices. we are individuals with different identities, teams, workflows, and ways of working. so please don’t let the actions of some define an entire community.
niat baik saja tidak serta merta menghapus dampak dari tuduhan yang merugikan. dan bertanggung jawab juga berarti menyadari dan mengakui dampak tersebut.
dan yap bagaimanapun, kita semua pasti ingin membangun suatu hal yang bermanfaat dan nyaman semua orang. astungkara🙏
People will believe the worst about you without asking a single question, but let something good be said and suddenly they need proof. Some people are more comfortable accepting negativity than acknowledging your growth or giving you credit. That’s why you have to stop living for people’s opinions. Those who want to misunderstand you will always find a reason.
sticking up for yourself because you’re tired of people projecting lies n painting you as something you’re not doesn’t make you a bad person or a “mean girl”
some of yall need to grow the hell up or grow your hearts a few more sizes or SOMETHING cause YEEEEEUCK.
been seeing some discourse about blocking on here so i wanna chime in that blocking someone doesn't require moral justification, finding someone annoying or disliking a ship are valid reasons to block someone. and being blocked isn't a reflection of you or your character
this is twitter, everyone should feel free to curate their own spaces without the fear of backlash lol. but shading and insulting people for blocking you is just obnoxious and immature
Alright since this is what we’re doing now, I’ll clarify further.
Multiple accounts communicate and share data to try and spread awareness of unethical practices whenever we can, and yea we remain solo independent in our methodologies and beliefs in how we handle things.
Working together doesn’t automatically mean individuals are part of a group, trio, or cooperating third parties beyond just sharing information to help the public be aware of the predatory practices of companies known to abuse artists, exploit children, and con clients.
At the end of the day, there are real people behind each and every account. Not everyone handles providing that information in the same manner, that’s what makes everyone unique. Some people may be comfortable being transparent with their main account being linked to their “service accounts” as it were and some may be fine hiding who they really are from the public.
I have always been upfront, blunt, but honest to the best of my ability and yes, that steps on people’s toes. But I have only ever tried to warn people and provide a place for JRU Victims to feel heard. The data/research does one job. The call outs do another. The content I have always seen as three pieces to spread awareness to the whole.
Going forward, this is how things are going to go with us from now on. With Vgen banning JRU off their site, the JRUVSG will shift to being there to support the victims but we will leave the call outs to the people who seem to benefit from it more.
Some people will provoke you privately, disrespect you repeatedly and push you beyond your emotional limits, then record the one moment you finally react. Suddenly, everyone hears about your anger, your attitude and your behaviour. The months of mistreatment disappear, and the reaction becomes the entire story. That's how the person causing the damage gets to play the victim.
While I don't always agree with the way accounts like Rage's handle things without full proof, she has been trying to keep people informed since the beginning of the year. Calling her a clout chaser overlooks the time and work she has put into trying to inform people. I hope she takes this experience to heart and uses it to refine how she shares info going forward.

You won't be everyone's cup of tea, and that's okay!
Never feel the need to change who you are just to be liked. Keep being yourself, embracing what makes you unique & surrounding yourself with people who love you for YOU! 🎀✨
