I feel even less informed, and I think that's one, just one, reason why everybody is leaving or moving.

I remember, even as an early lurker to the fandom say, oh, 5 or 6 years ago, (between then and now, I don't remember the exact date) reading some of the allegations placed on he who shall not be named. Now, I don't know him. I don't know dragoneer. I don't know what to believe because there's never been an actual public announcement stating whether or not it's true. There's also the factor of a large group of people saying that (and I know this word can make people uncomfortable) rape was never a factor, and it was "consensual." Again, I don't know these people, and just because you heard it wasn't rape does NOT mean it wasn't. I know people have... Uh... Fantasies and such of it, happening to them and them committing, and we ARE an accepting fandom, but in reality, it's not legal OR excusable. THAT BEING SAID, it is equally as wrong to falsely somebody of the act, it can ruin somebodies life. Which brings me to the cover up, which I think is why I, and many others are uncomfortable.

I think what we want is safety and closure. That's just who we are. And of course, the completely WRONG course of action would be a coverup. SO instead of consoling these victims, he hides any evidence. That is terrible in my opinion. Terrible not only the victims, but all of us. I may be wrong, but isn't the goal, as a site owner, to try and make your users happy and comfortable when at all possible? I mean, these people went out on a limb confessing that.
From what I've heard, he has all access to PM's (this doesn't really affect me as much) and private information. I think we all want someone in this power we know we can just trust. I don't know, maybe they truly don't care. I don't know them at all.

My recomendation to dragoneer, if he wants to keep this site running with the community in tact is to make it more of a democracy. I know this is his site, and he, by all means, doesn't have to, but it's just a recomendation. So voting for admins!

Who knows, maybe even a PR team! This sounds ridiculous, I know, but I think it may be beneficial!

Another recomendation of mine might be to right all the wrongs now, before it's to late, and something happens to this fandom and community that I love so much. There's no doubting there will always be drama, but on this scale, kinda saddens me.

I know this may sound dumb, but I am not leaving this website. This was the place where I really came into the person I am, making great friends. I came out of the closet here, I've read heart touching stories here. I know that there are many other places like it, but it happened here. I know this is strange, but I have an emotional tie to this website. Whether it be from the first time I stepped into a rukis livestream, and read her stories, or gained friends that I know have my back, I knew this fandom, and site, were something special from the start. That's my opinion, and I know... It sounds stupid.

Wrapping up, I know that dragoneer and many others will never see this journal, but i'd like to make this journal a place where people can go to talk, if they feel indifferent about what's going on. Not for fighting. Not for drama. Just to vent.
