I have a big problem (Opinions welcomed)
5 years ago
Well, I tried to avoid getting to this point, but I'm left with no choice.
silverlonewolf has given his very pointed side of the story which you can see here https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/9656926/ Where he literally vomits bullshit and claims that he's asking for other views on the situation. Then, when I finally post onto his journal "which is about me" he deletes my comment because as I said, he cannot handle it because he knows he's wrong. I took the liberty of preemptively copying the message because I knew he would try to hide it.
Nope! Too vague! You seem to be forgetting to mention that you had months prior to seeing my posts on Facebook to even draw a single line of the art trade. I had redone my lines 3 times over, adjusted the slight color problems you had and was starting on shading. You forget to tell them that I tried constantly messaging you, calmly, wondering if everything was okay because you dropped me over something you wouldn't tell me about, and on the 3rd month when I finally said"fine fuck you too" you decide to go ballistic and post a damn memoir out of nowhere?!!? And have the audacity to get pissy at ME for finding out that you dumped me to the curb for a damn disagreement? I would never do that to someone I cared about. And I knew you for a decade, but that's what happens when you are brainwashed. And you say I play the victim... But you are trying to turn me out to be the bad guy here. Oh and don't forget... This happened 2 times people!

I started a drawing 8 years ago, never got any compensation or even thanks, because you pulled this same diva drama. How dare you say that trouble follows me... Pretty sure I've had to dig you out of holes, many of them, I'll gladly name-drop. It's time for you to take a look in the mirror. You do NOT drop friends you've known for a decade over a political dispute, ESPECIALLY without letting them know months into it. You can stop using that verbiage of"friends" as well. As I told you. I told you to drop it, I told you I would just move on, but here you go posting a big ass journal... You'll never learn. I'll have to post my side. And I have this copied so delete it if you can't deal. It's out in the open now. And honestly I'd rather just take money from you at this point than have any art of our Characters.
So long story short
silverlonewolf and I were friends for a long time, on August 13th he stopped talking to me without a word. EVERYTHING was going fine up until that point, we talked semi often (i instigated the conversations) I showed him my content that I was working on, things were normal. From then until September 23rd I respectfully messaged him and tried to get answers, and was FINALLY told he threw me to the curb because I am black, and agree with the statement that black lives matter. I posted on facebook to back those claims. I'm also not against the idea that maybe the police have too much power, invulnerability to the law, etc. I know, this is a controversial topic, but hey this is a damn controversial year! I was never into politics because it's so boring and so corrupt, but this year I've had no choice but to dig my nose in it because it was so in my face. I didn't even bring it up to anyone, but we were friends on facebook, so he saw the posts I gave, explaining, the very real issues but he fanned them off as "fake news" that should give you an idea of what kind of guy he is. He tried to paint me as in the wrong in his journal for being hurt at the injustices that I've seen, then tried to snuff my voice out on his journal where he owes me art and asked for opinions. He clearly doesn't care about my opinion. But I'm here to warn you that this guy is trouble, DO NOT engage in an art trade with someone who will all of a sudden drop ALL responsibility after you have done your fair share of the work JUST because of a disagreement that he doesn't even tell you about...even after 10 years of friendship...even after you tell him to drop it and to go your separate ways, but he decides to make a giant post where he tries to paint you as a bad guy. Then posts religious quotes in a response.
I am black, I will not apologize for being offended at the injustices that have been brought to the surface this year. And I damn sure won't be silenced, even though he's tried :) Peace Love and Happiness everyone.

You arent wrong when you say a friend doesnt drop someone over political stuff otherwise they arent your friend.
But i will say you acting like a stolen valor victim with some of the last bit of the journal.
otherwise sorry ya had to deal with that stress
Making his voice heard when someone is trying to silence him.
This isn't stolen valor. This is the voice of a person who's sick and tired of being told to shut up. Ice is black. And I don't have a single doubt in my mind that he's experienced racism. He has Every. God. Damned. Right. To. Speak.
That would normally be the end of it, but bringing a private matter into the public eye for all to see like that? Definitely not okay on their part, especially after agreeing to go your sperate ways. Just my thoughts, hope it wasn't too rambly, stay safe.
And look at that, you didn't need to hide any comments! 🙃
Not going down that road ~ever~ again.
I swear, his IQ test came back negative... good god.
