I've been away from the whole scene for a while due to exams, and saw a similar message on inochi's discord

What happened? Was there some kind of falling out?

What about those "mildly inflammatory messages criticizing Asahi Linux, nijilive (the Inochi2D fork), and VT Social itself" messages? If they were truly made, then there should be some evidence for them? In the current state, it's a nothingburger, especially after hearing Luna's side of the story.

Also I've seen ableists trying to invalidate female autistic individuals by claiming "it's BPD, autism is a "boy's disease", and you look nothing like my low functioning second cousin".

I didn't want to see that...

But this is not surprise, the constant self-pitying and self-harm warning while \@everyone-ing on inochi2d's annoucement channel already gave BPD away.

I hope she gets the medical help she needs and that you guys can recover and move on.

as someone who also went through a lot of BS in the past few years due to my people not respecting my boundaries and being thankless about it later, I can… deeply resonate with parts of this document

sorry this happened to you, and hang in there! hugs

jfc that's awful 😕 you're a deeply knowledgeable and passionate person, and a gracious host. i guess through a lens of extreme insecurity that might seem overwhelming or intimidating, but that's just not at all a fair characterization. when we chanced to meet you went out of your way to be inclusive and entertaining, help me find gifts and food at weird hours, find my way home safely, and i still cherish those memories

i do hope you get some space to breathe and heal

Aw, this is unfortunate and awful you had to get through this, hope Luna will get some help, and that these events will be behind you

Personally, I was hoping to make a visual novel using Inochi2D to make character posing a bit easier, more automated, and hopefully more dynamic, and I knew integration with Ren'Py was a goal once the major rewrite was done, so I grew disheartened over time with development stalling with Luna's health as everyone else was waiting after that rewrite, so it's nice to see there's other people working on a fork

Do you know if integration with Ren'Py still a goal with the fork? In any case I'll definitely check this out :)

Wha, had absolutely no idea all this was happening. Soru woshed the best to you & cyan, and hopes you'll have somepeaceful, quiet days soon 💚

For Luna, soru hopes you can find professional help and get better! 💚

As an autistic critter I can also confirm that was not a meltdown. It may be autistic burnout mixed with something else. I don't think autism alone can really explain it.

I wish you two all the best, I hope you can leave all that behind.

I also wish her to find the help she needs. You all deserve to heal in peace, I hope she will understand that.

it honestly hurts reading all of this, can't imagine living through all of it.

I hope things get better for you both from now on

I'm sorry that you had to deal with this

Wishing the best to both of you, and hope Luna can get the medical help that she needs

Thanks for sharing. Sorry you all went thru this. Honestly this to me sounds more like borderline personality disorder, but I am not an expert.

I hope everyone gets the time and/or help they need.

I am so sorry you had to go through all this.

I hope she manages to give herself boundaries to leave you alone and let herself some space to heal.

The least we can say is you were great friends and were as supportive as you could! Be proud!

As someone who has had to deal with a similar person relatively recently, I feel your pain. It is hard to let go and to disengage. I just want to say: Luna's situation is not your fault, you did what you could.

I sincerely hope that you get the peace you deserve.

I read through the entire doc and geez that was a lot to take in. First off… sorry for the wall of the text lol

As I read the doc, some of the things I saw Luna post about made a lot more sense now that there was more context put into it all. Honestly all of her doomposting drove me to unfollow her ages ago because I already have my own personal issues to deal with and I didn’t want to keep seeing that. I had even wanted to try Inochi2D at some point, but she essentially drove me away from it with those posts and I stuck with 3D instead. I sincerely hope she is able to get the help she needs in the end.

That said, I’m so sorry you both had to go through this, let alone the uninvolved 3rd parties that got dragged in for various reasons.

I’ve seen and experienced manipulative people before (albeit not to this extent) and I know it can take time to fully recover from it all. I may not interact with either of you very much but I have looked up to you both for quite some time. Coming across your content a few years ago is part of what got me deeper into using open source projects in general. I wish nothing but the best for both of you and I hope you can all move forward from this whole mess in due time.

Thank you everyone for the kind responses to yesterday's events. We received dozens of support messages and it really warmed our hearts.

I wrote a brief note with some lessons learned (only one page, I promise!):

Thank you & lessons learned

Re: https://vt.social/@lina/112887028337761683 Thank you everyone for your kind words to me & Cyan about this whole incident. We’ve gotten overwhelming support, for everyone including Luna. We do hope she gets the help she needs to move on in life.

Hi,

I'm a total outsider here, and am frankly *amazed* Lina could manage such technological feats while all this drama was going on.

There are people who are black holes, who will sap your time, energy and resources with no gratitude and then stab you in the back at a moment's notice. Cut all contact with these people. They seek kind others to force responsibility on.

I wish you two the best, don't look back!

Regards,
Ben
