I might have caused this??

I'm sorry for this not being entirely related but. I made a post a while ago about how I got banned from Corporate Clash for being a proshipper so.

I always thought this was a bit hypocritical, given one CC character is a canonical stalker. She's had 5 reports against her and was implied to have a crush on said character. The fandom has played around with this a bit, but it's never been too large of a controversy.

But I guess I have been talking about it a bit lately, and recently I wrote a fic where Misty does something Really Awful relating to her crush on William, and I.

I'm not entirely convinced I didn't cause this and I don't know how to feel. Someone tell me I'm being insane. Did I make them retcon their game??? I want to laugh but also cry.

Misty being a very flawed, unhealthy character was part of why I liked her. Yes, she is (or was) a stalker. That's not okay of her! But it was a part of her character that made sense for her. Misty is not a great person. It's almost like she's a villain.

I'm kinda scared that I caused this.

You might have seen my posts around. I got banned from Toontown: Corporate Clash a while back for being a darkshipper on my twitter. Never brought it in-game.

Rant about antis in a fandom I'm in liking a character that canonically commits sexual harassment

Hi, so this is for the Corporate Clash fandom. They're VERY much anti-filled and even banned me in-game for being a darkshipper. I recognize very few people here will know this fandom, but I want to rant and I am sure as hell not posting it in any Toontoon subs. Obvious warning for talk of (fictional) sexual harassment.

I find it strange that the Corporate Clash fandom and devs are very much mostly antis when a well-liked character is literally a sexual harasser and no one acknowledges it. Misty Monsoon/Rainmaker has stalked William Boar for AT LEAST 9 months to the point where he's reported her five times.

I've seen people undermine this as William being grumpy when. I don't think someone submitting 5 reports for harassment and stalking is them just being a downer. And this doesn't mean you're not allowed to like Rainmaker obviously- I love her, personally- but I do think it's inherently a bit hypocritical to whine about how someone writing weird ships is normalizing abuse when your fav is a sexual harasser, and especially if you undermine said sexual harassment because you like her. I hate to be that person but I do think the reaction would be very different if Misty Monsoon wasn't feminine presenting.

Edit to add: I've also seen people say that William Boar was clearly exaggerating or making things up when. I'm going to be honest I don't see how you can NOT read this as, "Cogs.inc doesn't give a shit about the wellbeing of their employees as long as their performance isn't affected" given that's very much fitting.
