As my previous post stated, I semi-retired from cosplay bullying, but I never said why. The reason is simple, the hate and backlash I got from this community were what drove me off Twitter and in truth, it impacted my depression in a very bad way. I have received as much hate and backlash on Facebook as I had on twitter but I will not be driven off Facebook by these people.
I have been told that the cosplay community is a welcoming and friendly place; I think that this a big load of horse crap. I say this because after someone I genuinely like and respected muted me on Facebook, I genuinely offered them a heart-felt apology and offered to take down what I had said, but this came to nothing as the person then proceeded to block me.
Given what I said in my last post, I do not expect anyone to believe my last statement, but I assure you it was indeed genuine. I was upset that this person muted then blocked me, I valued their friendship and I now realize I will never get the friendship back which is a fact I now accept.
Moving on from that, just a day after my first post went up, I tried making amends with some in the cosplay community but that failed as bad as New Coke. It was made completely clear to me by the few cosplay people that would speak to me that not only is my apology not wanted it would not be accepted. Using my old Twitter account, I was able to find some of these cosplayers I had reached out to and after logging out of my account, I was able to read what they thought of me. And as you can already guess, it was not nice at all, and I can already hear you all saying that I deserved what they said, maybe you're right.
Some of the things I've been told are as follows:
“You are quite possibly one of the worst types around”
"Just kill yourself, you miserable fat bastard"
"Everyone fucking hates you on Twitter so fuck off"
“Please just crawl back under your black and dark rock already. You like to be shitty to others then complain nobody likes to deal with you”
"The way you treat people is just fucking disgusting; you are a miserable waste of time"
"Nobody is nice to you because you’re so terrible others. Nobody owes you anything for being “nice”. Nobody wants your piss poor self around. Fuck off, no-one wants to be near you let alone be friends with you”.
People I do not even know are Tweeting me and telling me to “Fuck off to the shit-hole you came from”, “No-one wants you on Twitter you friendless prick”, “Fuck off you fat, friendless fucker. No-one likes you, no-one WILL like you”
"You are a fat, miserable, friendless ass-hole who should have been drowned at fucking birth”.
I’ve been told other things as well but you get the gist of what I’ve been told. Now if anyone has read this, you might well be asking yourselves "Why are you saying all this?" well the answer is simple, I've never told anyone this and they say it is "Good to get things off your chest"; time will tell if this is true, but given the bad reception my first post got, I'm not gonna be holding my breath for anything good to come from this.
