Valens will retweet this before the night is out.
I think the major problem is whether we like it or not Proctor is right. The indie market is so fucking incestuous and cliquey it's no surprise this happened. Marina was a small scale version of this. Weaseling their way into the community to try and gain more power. Luckily for us Marina was a fucking idiot.
By not inoculating itself against the usual rabble of ideologues, it allowed people like Valens to grab onto ideas they themselves had already been pushing (safety for minorities, trans accepted no matter what, lolicon be removed entirely) and use it for their own means. If you follow Valens' timeline, you can see him initially ramping it up as an Anti-lolicon and Pro-trans story to absolutely rag on vAllure. There were mentions of reaching out to payment processors to try and get them to not be able to make any money. Then Rima and Elara talked about it, and Ana started ramping up the "Rima and Elara fans are transphobes, look at them never using my pronouns". Then Kirsche ripped him a new one on her stream, and this is where we are now. The rabble who want their idiot causes pushed are glomming onto the "Journalist" being their champion. And Valens is gleefully lapping up all the attention and 'information' being fed to them by the horde asking for the next evil to be slain.
And really, the real reason Valens wanted this fight can be summed up in two screenshots.
