About the BrightwaterDraws situation: I've had a LOT of time to think about the situation and the consequences that come with it. This is not me newly defending the things that Brightwater said (as they are still not ok in any way shape or form) or saying that I think what she did is excusable, I don't. I've had a lot of time to calm down and actually genuinely think on the situation and understand where exactly Brightwater comes from when it comes to these screenshots about her being racist. Due to her mental disorder, I can understand how she'd probably think that the things she said just didn't need to be addressed now that she was no longer associated with the people in the drama with her. I also now understand how difficult it must be for a child to deal with drama and allegations that they frankly don't know what to do with. Her emotional maturity is of that of a pre-teen and I remember not being very emotionally adjusted or able to "do" allegations or accusations right at that age either. With that being said, I'm NOT saying I think that what she said isn't wrong. Not saying that at all. What she said is still wrong and in my opinion she should still own up to what she did and apologize instead of running away from her problems when they occur. I also think that if she can, she should defend herself in however way she can if any allegations should be false. However, I'm not her, and I cannot tell her what to do. I also don't know if that would be the totally best thing because I'm not a professional at dealing with things like this at all... Another thing I have to say for EVERY YOUNG PERSON ON THIS WEBSITE, is DO NOT under any circumstances run to the internet as an escape from your home life or your real life. Speaking from experiences, this is a bad idea and will ultimately hurt you in the long run. Take mental health breaks from the internet for as long as you need to and don't be chronically online. It's bad for you, believe me. I would instead recommend attempting to seek professional help or finding another means of escaping. But then again, /I'm/ not a professional so maybe I'm not one to say. Brightwater, make no mistake the things that you said were bad but you are not a horrible person. You can still move on with your life and move past this as long as you accept your mistakes and learn to live with them. All you have to do is handle the situation responsibly. Which, brings me to your apology. You cannot put out apologies that have a lot of "pity me" in them. It's not going to seem genuine and ultimately isn't an "apology"...if that's not how you were trying to come off I understand, but in my personal opinion that's how it seemed. I, personally, apologize for being involved in this in the first place and not actually having a genuine clue as of what to do with this situation. The previous project is down but you can still look at everything and draw your own conclusions. I'd also appreciate help and feedback on this situation because I don't know if I'm doing the right thing. The short: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/3ay4p46xS3M I think that's gonna be it from me. If you wanna know my alt account, just comment and I'll probably get back to you.
