gonna be real here guys: ff7 house isn't a funny joke and i'm really tired of seeing people talk about it like it is one, or that it's some sort of internet freakshow story

it's a really horrible story of abuse that left tons of people--some of whom i've known over my time online--completely traumatized. just because it involved a videogame is irrelevant, it's not a "wild tale of fandom horror" and i'm sick of seeing people talk about it like it was
sidenote: the story most people know from demon-sushi is also
1) not the entire story
2) extremely skewed
3) the person who wrote it was also involved in/complicit with the vile abuse that transpired
me for years now: “lol demon-sushi was my online friend during the time they lived in that house; they were fully engaged in the behavior, fully believed or insisted they believed they were zack, and they were never once isolated the way they claim later” (also knew jen and rene tho. ALL bad.)
i don't want to name the two people i knew purely because i know they're here on bsky and i don't want to draw attention to them over something they want to forget, but this all tracks and fully lines up with what they've told me. i was fortunate enough never to meet jen, but we had mutual friends 😭
when i ran into jen years later (she crashed an rp space i was in) she and rene had a third with them who seemed to be giving jen a run for her money in the histrionics department and i always wonder how that ended up lol
the person who was mutual friends with her ended up being an absolute nightmare human too. i dunno if you ever knew someone during that whole era called syn/synnie but that was them— they rped rufus shinra and absolutely could not tolerate not being the center of attention for even 1 minute 💀
10000% understandable if they’re likely who i think they might be (just guessing based on who i remember being “character named” at the time.) i’m really glad they’re well away from those people. i just remember reading the “truth” and being like, “…but none of this is true.”
ff7 house was a (for want of a better word) jumpscare for me bc i had to triple check that the timelines were wrong for my abuser to be involved. im still not completely sure they werent. evil cult shit and i dont say that flippantly at all
i didn't see any tweets of yours actually! i just saw someone on my discover page talking about how they just watched a video about it and i'm like "sigh"
