OK, which one of you is @BARTSIMSON_REAL?

dwhite btw

her book is really good!

@swarthyvillian is my new fav now that wettbutt is dead

Schlump & 3 other ILXors just followed @SwarthyVillain

lol

@swarthyvillain: BUZZFEED BENNY: Ted Cruz showed us every YOLO has nine lives
HERZOG: this man's deception consumes him. His very being is a joke of God

wow first john v now lauren saturn weird twitter hitting a rough patch in their romantic relations

its very interesting how the public and private, online and irl play out on twitter/internet

feels pretty weird to witness these peoples public shamings, theyve become public figures cause they have 5000 twitter followers

Twitter is much better when I just visit people's favstars

weird twitter always had a 10th grade drama club edge to it. don't really have to shake those things hard to blow 'em up.

who is lauren saturn?

idk shes a weird tweeter

i missed this round of drama but i like LS and don't know what she is supposed to have done?

someone put together a storify re her misdeads u can find it if u search twitter, felt kinda weird researching the whole thing, but the heart wants what it wants

Some of her twitter (and irl?) exes say she's emotionally abusive + manipulative https://storify.com/A_Spacemuseum/lauren-saturn-you-mean-vulva

i dont even know who she is i guess im not Weird enough anymore

sounds like she threatens suicide, emotionally manipulates ppl online, accuses ppl of abusing her as a smokescreen for her own abuses, engages in serial internet drama, etc. lucky we don't have anyone like that on ilx!

is there a cool part of ilx i dont know about

no there isnt

ok good

wherever lag00n posts on ilx - that's the cool part

B-)

jeez i mean my interactions with her have always been positive and i know she is maybe not the most stable person out there but the high-pitched charges of serial abuse and mental illness seem to be such a recurring feature of weird twet that idek anymore

tbf you have a history of supporting this kind of person, it's not surprising in the least that you'd miss warning signs xp

god mordy you're a chore sometimes i think ppl should call you choredy

excuse me?

yeah these cultures that are so morally judgmental and lacking in understanding and forgiveness tend to collapse in on themselves cause ultimately no one can live up to thier standards, and a lot of the standards are borne of secret self loathing in the first place

it wld be interesting if one of these people who got outed was just all im really sorry for what ive done real and imagined can you all help me become a better person

oh dang i do know who she is, she's the one who dated one of my SA friends and messed with him real bad

i had no idea she was twitter popular tho

ha damn there it is

i find it odd that they are referring to her as a "leader"

what makes a great twitter leader? (rhetorical)

yeah there are all sorts of strange and fascinating things going on re the built in assumptions of this particular culture, its quite grandiose

yea it's the zero-tolerance "if you follow this person on twitter you are supporting their abuse and i will unfollow you for it" that i don't really understand.

i mean i don't identify with the imperative for follower purity, of course, but also
the implication that following necessarily means support

can someone explain this lauren saturn ruckus in 101 terms? getting a headache trying to work out what storify dude is going on about

she manipulated and generally treated her partners/friends like shit, yea?

gathered that over 100+ tweets. any specifics?

xp so what don't we all do that? brjng back wettbutt

also a bunch of stuff about her sleeping with underage boys

skim read it...people take DMs seriously huh

Not even the actual content of the message, just the process of moving from public to private communication

have DMd u.

honestly I can't get past "lauren-saturn-you-mean-vulva"

lauren-saturn-you-mean-vulva-grabs-solitary-caffeine-hit-way-pilates-class.html

hey.. Dmd u

so uh @wettbutt is back with some extremely long autobiographical pastebin backstory that i don't really have the time or inclination to untangle at the moment but linking here in case y'all care

People who thrive on personal drama are repulsive to me.

(I mean wetbutt himself, not you, although surely there are better soap operas out there to watch)
