Been dealing with harassment
4 months ago
General
I've been facing harassment for the past two months. It all began in October when I ignored someone I met on this site, who then reached out to me on Discord. I felt uneasy about him from the start, especially when he referred to me as "exotic." Initially, I thought he meant my original characters, but he clarified that he meant me personally. This made me uncomfortable and objectified. He was also quite clingy; whenever I logged into Discord, he would immediately DM me. Feeling overwhelmed, I started to ignore him.
Eventually, he became upset and accused me of "forgetting" him and not caring. Frustrated, I blocked him on Discord and FA. However, he created an alternate account on FA and messaged me from there. I reported him, resulting in a temporary suspension. Unfortunately, he created multiple new accounts, leading to a permanent ban, for which I’m grateful to the FA moderators for their prompt action.
Sadly, they can’t address harassment that occurs outside their platform. This individual has sent me AI-generated images of my characters along with myself in unsettling scenarios. To protect myself, I took several precautions: I created a new email, adjusted my Discord settings to limit who can add me, disabled DMs on Twitter except for people I follow, and I won't respond to random notes on FA. I apologize if I come off as unapproachable, but these measures are vital for my safety and peace of mind.

Of course I filed a ticket on him.
And apparently the person who harassed me can't tell the difference between communism and democratic socialism, and said to me that "Trump is your [sic] president," like, I'm not even American? I'm straightforward about that
And top notch reply.
P.S. – Puñeta..... "Goddess Judy"? Understanding the context behind such phrasing, this only ever proves of much of a depraved pervert he is...
That guy sounds like a stalker and I hope you are ok now.
Ive had this happen just a tiny few times to me in the fanart world too as a mostly gay guy. They dont take no for an answer or want to push past being into your art to target you personally. They dont just appreciate a mature artist sharing their work and just enjoy that. I never ever look to people that i meet with the idea of being in a relationship. a relationship is something that may or may not come over time. if anything first know someone as an equal in respect.
