Hey. This is kind of a hard post to write.
So... I've done a lot of self discovery recently. And a lot of it was negative. Looking back on this blog (and others) I have been extremely homophobic, transphobic, ableist, and sexist (to name a few.) I want anyone who sees this blog to know that I'm working on that. I will always have internalized oppressive ideas and I am aware of that fact, but I am note the same person who made the last posts on this blog.
To put it simply, I've changed. I'm still changing. A couple things that are different now-
I'm an anti. I do not support abusive ships any longer. This also means I'm taking a rather painful break from Splintered. I have complicated feelings about the fandom and franchise which can be explained privately, but not in one post.
I am working on not fetishizing homosexuality. I'm pan myself, and I know that it's disgusting to fetishize either lesbians or gay men. This doesn't mean there will be less representation for gay people or whatever in my Sims game, just that the representation will be accurate and respectful.
The Asylum is done. I'm probably going to make a new one (have to re-install Sims, I just got a new computer), but I understand now that the concept is really very ableist. I like the idea of calling it a Survival House or whatnot, but 'asylum' hits a little too close to home for me as well as many other neurodivergent people.
I'm generally just trying to be better and more mature. I cannot apologize enough for all the things I've done in the past, and if you have a personal issue with me, please do tell me about it because I genuinely want to change myself for the better.
Thank you so much to anyone who has supported me. I hope you can continue to do so.
The earlier posts on this blog will stay up though I do not support the views expressed therein. I will not hide what I have said or done. I also admit that there's rather a lot of nostalgia there for my old Simmies, so please understand that as well.
Agai, you can contact me with any concerns.
