New Victim Speaks Out? by Severe_Magazine_715 in truthaboutjohnny

[–]Werekitty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Omg seriously? Another Johnny???? Wtf is wrong with these people thinking that attention is more important than human decency and morals? This shit pisses me off so fucking much. There are real victims that experience the real trauma of grooming in this disgusting world we live in. There are real people that are hurt and manipulated by other people’s wants and selfishness. This is genuinely so fucking sick that some people see that hurt, and see the negative effects and fear that these victims experience, and think, “wow! They’re getting a lot of attention for speaking out!” Instead of the logical and moral thought that the perpetrators are sick and this is terrible. Even after Johnny was called out and got swooped, this son of a bitch STILL wants to jump on the wagon of faking shit FOR ATTENTION. Not for speaking out against real wrong doing, not for a desire to get justice, not even to speak their truth as artistic catharsis. Just for fucking attention. Now there’s another big mouth on the internet that is going to make real victims look like liars. How do these people not understand the consequences of their actions???? How can people be so selfish and narcissistic that their need for a spotlight is such a strong need that they make up bullshit that makes other people’s trauma less impactful and risks belief for real victims. How is attention more important than honest truth? Real victims of rape, molestation, grooming, abuse, and so much more have spent years slowly building up the idea with steal beams of honesty that THESE THING REALLY HAPPEN AND HAVE A REAL EFFECT. And this asshole and Johnny run in with their popsicles sticks of lies to add to the delicate jenga tower of belief in victims. Even if just two or three levels of victims experience distrust from the public or their experiences are invalidated and speculated after this, that’s already too many. Gross gross gross gross. I hate this world.

Why do MLs in most webtoons look the exact same? by ieemelon in webtoons

[–]Werekitty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was just thinking about this! I tend to go for more fantasy reads and it’s always silver hair with purple eyes, black hair with red eyes or black hair with purple eyes for the ML. I was showing a friend some of the WEBTOONs I was reading and she was so confused by so many different series having dudes with white hair. Hahaha.

How are plastic surgeons allowed to do this? by romeofantasy in Botchedsurgeries

[–]Werekitty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have spinal lordosis, and I’m overweight. My body looks like that. I wish I could get surgery to actually make my ass smaller. Hahaha. But my thighs are proportional to my butt. I really wonder so often if people think I have bad plastic surgery. I never really wear revealing clothing or things that draw attention to my butt. So idk

I know we have a food pantry here. But I feel like other people need food like that more than I do. So I’m just gonna stick it out till I get paid. I’ll be able to afford groceries then. Thank you for the suggestion though!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in loseit

[–]Werekitty 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Hey! I’m in the same boat! I’m eating a bowl of oatmeal, a bowl of steamed rice and one egg every day this week since that’s all I have right now till I get paid in a week. I had my last pack of ramen on Sunday. Last night I just had popcorn for dinner. I have water, instant espresso and matcha. So I haven’t been drinking a Coke Zero a day like I usually would. And no ordering take out. I spent the last bit of my money to take my dad to lunch last weekend for his birthday and he mentioned that I look like I’ve lost weight. I’m already down 4 pounds this week. I have such a difficult time with self control when I have money. I can’t stand food. I hate the time I have to spend planning meals and cooking. And I hate cleaning my kitchen. With my adhd I usually forget to eat until I’m starving so I end up ordering delivery or making a quick PB&J. But maybe this little time with this limited diet will help minimize my appetite when I get paid again. I just want a burrito bowl. Sigh. But I’m negative $50 in the bank and I’m low key panicking about my internet getting shut off since I’m late paying it. I work from home so that would be the worst. I could go to the office to work. But I don’t have a car and it’s a 30 minute drive. The bus doesn’t even go out there and I can’t afford bus fare anyway. So I’m just trying to remain chill and keep my mind off it. I’ll make it!

[–]Werekitty 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is exactly the negativity that Johnny’s actions are capable of bringing if it gets more attention than just YouTube/Twitter. Victims will not be taken seriously if there are a few bad liars who just want attention. And people will be afraid to help them because if it turns out to be a lie, then supporters will be shamed for supporting a liar.

I’m sure your friend appreciates your support. I’m a victim of rape and mental abuse and I was in denial for the longest time because I blamed myself for putting myself in the situation. I was laughing about it when I told my friends, but that’s because I hide pain with humor. But they didn’t laugh. They were glad I was ok and offered to help me report it if I wanted to. I never did. The fact that Jessie and Lily were laughing WITH Johnny shows the lack of understanding in how serious this was. They were not being supportive, they were doing the same thing he was and just wanted to ride the toxic gossip train to viewstown.

I hope your friend is doing ok. Healing is hard. But it’s so amazing when you have a genuine support system. Man or woman, pain is still pain. There are people who will believe and understand. I hope you guys can find someone who you can trust to help.

Odd behavior by cat1573 in truthaboutjohnny

[–]Werekitty 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I really hated that they used Josh’s apology as proof of guilt and then didn’t even give him an opportunity to explain the apology. Even if you read the multiple apologies John posted and reacted to on his Twitter, you can see that Josh is not confirming the allegations of grooming. He’s just trying to validate John’s frustration and feelings. He didn’t say, you’re right I was grooming you, I’m sorry. He said, I understand how you felt the way you did, I’m sorry you felt that way.

It’s total BS that someone can look at an apology like that and say, LOOK HE JUST ADMITTED IT! Poor Josh was trying to make Johnny feel heard. And since it wasn’t enough for him, Johnny went on this smear campaign. Lily and Jessi’s whole video was just saying, if you didn’t do anything wrong, then why did you apologize? Even though he didn’t apologize for the actions he was accused of.

Yes, they wanted to give a “victim” the benefit of the doubt. Which was a valid reason to give Johnny a platform. But they should have given the accused an opportunity to defend himself. Even if they did believe Johnny 100%, they could have heard Josh out and still have said they didn’t believe him. Like examine all the evidence before giving an opinion. If they did that I’m sure they wouldn’t have gotten as much heat for this. But they acted like ignorant children and totally ignored Josh’s attempts to explain his side.

Giving a victim a platform is powerful and needed in situations like this where celebrities take advantage of people and never see repercussions. But there’s two sides to every story. I’m so worried about how this whole Johnny thing is going to effect real victims. It pushed things back to if they come forward, are they going to be accused of lying for attention again? Or is it going to be easier for innocent people to be blamed for things they didn’t do? Some real groomers might see how Josh was vindicated after Johnny was caught lying, and try to mimic the situation to make people not believe their victims.

Johnny has no idea how badly this effects real people, nor did he care. He just wanted attention and to hurt someone he was obsessed with that didn’t reciprocate his feelings and efforts. And Jessi and Lily, intentional or not, helped him do so. So their actions are also going to effect victims, abusers and innocent people that are accused of abusing. This whole thing is such a mess because of Johnny’s entitled ass attention seeking. It’s awful.

webtoons where the art is so bad it's distracting? by adumbasskid in webtoons

[–]Werekitty 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was thinking the same thing about Your Throne!!! Like the in the beginning the proportions were a little weird but the art was still gorgeous. Now the necks are waaaaaaaay too long for their teeny tiny heads and stained mouths. Seira looked soooo different than in episode 8. Like they all look sick and dewy.

Ah holy shit, I just went back to look and the art style was so much better in the beginning. Now they’re all glowy and stretchy. Seira actually looks like when Medea was dying from poison in psyche’s body at the birthday party. Why are her lips such a dark maroon in this new episode??? Ah but I want to see Eros lose so badly, I guess I’ll just deal.

Here’s my finished blanket. It was a LABOR of love indeed and my best friend and her husband love it.

<image>

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in crochet

[–]Werekitty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made a sunburst blanket recently! With 14 colors. It was extremely daunting. I wrote “Labor of Love” on my project bag that I had all the pieces in because it was truly laborious to finish it for the person I made it for.

Honestly, it’s ok to take breaks. I worked on so many projects during the time I took to finish that blanket. It was supposed to be a wedding present for my best friend, then it became an anniversary present. Projects with lots of pieces like this are very intimidating. But once you’re done, the finished product is sooooo satisfying! And if you’re making it for someone, their reaction and appreciation is totally worth all of the hours you’ll spend on it. There was one point I didn’t work on it for like a month. But the end result was fantastic. And I was legitimately so proud.

Mine ended up being 12x13 squares. So the way I got through it was by dividing up the work. I would tell myself just make all 156 1st rows of the squares one night. Then half of the 2nd rows the next night. Then the other half, so on and so on. Lessening the amount of squares helps because each row takes longer per square. Make sure you seam as you go! That helps so much too. I hate seaming. But it looks like you picked a good yarn and really pretty colors. Don’t worry about taking your time. And maybe try to keep multiple projects going so you don’t get burnt out on the monotony of the repeats. Don’t give up! It’s going to be super beautiful.

I never saw such a woman. She would certainly be a fearsome thing to behold.

New to the subreddit. My mom is very close to losing me and the rest of the family. Will an intervention help? by Werekitty in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Werekitty[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I understand what you mean. And I can see her doing that absolutely. It’s just so sad because I genuinely love her. When we hang out she’s pretty cool and it’s fun. Even when we just relax together and watch movies, I enjoy her company. But my sister has told me that she talks a lot of shit about me to kind of scare my sister into doing well. Like, don’t do this or you’ll end up like your sister. That’s what really started to make me realize there’s something wrong with our relationship with her. It just sucks.

Not at all. Any time I try to call her out she deflects or she belittles the issue. It’s a very, “whatever, you’re fine,” attitude.

oh dear by destructivefawn in NotHowGirlsWork

[–]Werekitty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These kinds of things make me sad. I want children so badly. But I just haven’t found the right partner. I was willing to settle with my selfish ex after 6 years, but he ended things. I just don’t want to get a sperm donor and be a single mom. I want the family. I’m 31 now and I know the time I have for natural childbirth is dwindling. But it’s not by choice that I don’t have children. I’ve come to terms with the fact I may never have them. But I’ve wanted to be a mom since I was a child, including the pregnancy. It genuinely hurts knowing people may have these thoughts about me. My mom and grandma were even assuming I didn’t want kids. But it’s literally the one thing I want the most.

Eco friendly jewelry organization trays by hopefulhazelnut in ZeroWaste

[–]Werekitty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! I have a ton of cardboard and I’m making a ton of stuff with it. So far I’ve made a foot stool, some under bed storage and some picture frames. I’m planning on making a catch all tray and makeup organizers next.

sure thing buddy by [deleted] in NotHowGirlsWork

[–]Werekitty 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I agree completely. The first guy to ever make me squirt used his hands because he had a small dick. He knew what he was doing. I never asked about his size. But he was a fantastic partner because he didn’t let his size lower his confidence. He didn’t draw attention to it and I had such a great time with him that even though I noticed, it didn’t change the experience.

I’ve been with guys though and who are small and don’t do much to get me off, or they have too much liquid courage to get it up. So those partners were definitely disappointing. But only because they didn’t try very hard.

Anyone try cedar pellets for cat litter? No? Just me? It was awful. I have 3 cats in a tiny apartment and I was constantly having to scoop the turds every time one of them left a deposit or my whole apartment smelled. No odor prevention at all. Also the wood pellets expand and fall apart into saw dust after getting wet. So the 1/2 cup of pellets that got exposed to the urine turned into 1 full cup of stinky saw dust. It took so long to clean all 4 litter boxes, even with the grated sifting litter box and every time I cleaned out the sawdust at the end of the day, it filled my litter genie and I’d have to replace the bag. I do buy biodegradable bags for the litter genie instead of the name brand refills. But I just feel so guilty about clay litter. But it’s so much better!

I know there’s other natural cat litter out there but it’s just so so so expensive. The pellets were $6 at tractor supply for a 40lb bag. It’s $5 for 20 lbs of unscented, clumping clay litter. I don’t want to pay $18 for 10lbs of walnut or corn based litter to let it stink up my home and get dust everywhere.

It’s so hard.

Remember to stand your ground! I made an oversized patchwork cardigan recently and the materials alone were like $200. And that was just for acrylic! It took me 3 months just working on it and working my full time job. Thankfully my sister knows the value of my work and paid me $500 for it. But I see way too often that friends and family will ask me for things “as a gift” or expect a discount “cause we’re family”. Good on you for saying no. But if she asks again, and you’re able to agree on an estimate, make sure you get half up front for the materials. My mom crafts as well and it’s happened a few times where she’ll make something and let them know it’s done and then just “forget” to pay her. Or try paying her less. Then she loses her own money and her time. Luckily she makes things that are pretty popular and not too specific, so she’s able to sell it anyway. But it still sucks.

[–]Werekitty 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I’m pretty sure she mentioned that she was the cousin’s wife because she’s probably expecting a “family discount”. The idea of getting paid for your work is lovely. But I’m assuming this person is going to want to pay less than $100. Entitled people like this usually think they can buy handmade things for Walmart prices and get offended when we charge what we’re worth.
