least bloodthirsty radlib
some interesting posts they've made:
"Would [writing] a torture scene be too gratuitous?"
"[My] main antagonist Samantha is Pure Evil. She is incredibly sadistic, and believes that she has a right to rule over humanity due to her being a demon. She has similar powers to Superman, with the addition of shapeshifting and a healing factor. What I am also trying to do is make her funny, like the Joker"
Pretty sure this is just a game of telephone twisting the facts. There was someone who was a mod in the CTH Ark discord, who had made some sexual furry art depicting a couple of characters in chibi form observing a sex act, which was cast by the antagonists as a form of drawn CSAM (per discussions on this at the time, that's not how that works; I can't say I'm well-informed on the conventions of furry art styles so idk). This person was not a mod on the site because they stepped down due to the controversy, but they were not banned, so the antagonists threw a shit fit and starting posting about John Kerry (yes, that's where that came from).
the mod in question actually stepped down from the site because of ableism a good while after that incident
Yeah I remember, they didn't agree with the way a neurodivergent comrade was dealt with, as I recall.
Edit: For anyone wondering, this person was a valued member of the community and hence ended up becoming a mod in the neurodiverse comm later on.
pretty much yeah
also the response to their concerns in the modchat if i remember correctly
WHAT LMAO man i'm glad i was never on the discord. my soul is pure.
How'd you hear about the site so early on, then? I wouldn't have made it here without the discord (although I didn't really use it except to keep tabs on the site development).
someone linked it on mastodon. i don't remember who.
Yeah like I say I don't remember the details maybe they said exactly that. I didn't know the origin of Kerry-posting though that's interesting.
Didn’t this site and the ark discord have beef ? I seem to remember there being some hostility,
I think so, but that developed after the site launched; this issue cropped up right around the time of launch. Then the two communities (people who moved to the site, and people who decided they preferred the discord) diverged, until hostility ended up arising (not sure if that was the Kerryposters who instigated that or not, tbh).

Thanks for the history lesson, never knew the origin of the kerry posting.
