Apparently There Was No Point To My Longer, More Ambiguous Post About This Because It's Already Such

Apparently there was no point to my longer, more ambiguous post about this because it's already such a big kerfuffle, it's set off a boycott of Youmacon?! So I guess if you haven't already, you're probably going to hear all about this anyway if you follow cartoons and anime: animator Kyle Carrozza is being accused of getting another artist fired from the animation industry over their "adult content," which the artist cites as a reason for suicidal thoughts two years later. Carrozza is being called a literal murderer for "outing" someone who, allegedly, only posted that content as a necessary coping mechanism for their personal trauma, and allegedly only to a private blog. But...that's all just plain untrue. This artist worked at Cartoon Network while posting weird, explicit drawings and tweets about Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon characters on a twitter account that they also openly connected to their main, where they publicly boasted about their industry work, and therefore only "outed" themselves. You cannot, CANNOT be tweeting like they were tweeting and blame anyone else when a children's animation studio cuts ties with you! I shared a couple off-putting tweets of theirs before but what they actually posted got quite a bit more graphic. None of their art is under the cut, but these tweets are extremely bad and it is completely unsurprising that they would hurt someone's employment with a family entertainment brand. Even if it wasn't stuff about "shota" and "incest," even fully tasteful art of adults having sex, everybody who works in kid's animation knows you can't attach that and your career to the same internet identity. That is simply an accepted part of the deal.

I reiterate, it does not matter if this is somehow vital to their trauma therapy or whatever, when you're trying to have a job with brands like CN, Nick or Disney you just. CAN'T. BLOG LIKE THIS. You also can't demand that your friends and coworkers be comfortable with it, either; if it pushes people away you really have to just accept it, not send your fans on a crusade to accuse them of literal murder for pete's sake In case anyone tries to call the screenshots fake:
