Scandal! / Ren Queenston gropes people in their sleep.

(TW: sexual assault)

So, A. Nishimura of the internet has recently come out against furry music machine Ren Queenston regarding multiple sleep-fondling incidents. This began yesterday with a text file uploaded to puu.sh and linked through twitter. A snippet from the tumblr post:

as background:

ren and i were in a fairly sexual relationship, not a romantic one. we had our boundaries, but our most prominent one was “ask before any touching is done”. i have post-traumatic stress disorder, relating to a lot of sexual trauma, and when i am touched unprovoked, i am “dead in the water”. this boundary was placed in december of 2012 because ren experienced it first-hand with an event i can’t talk about now.

with this background, here is what i want you all to know:

ren has a self-admitted problem with groping people when they think they’re sleeping. they acknowledge that what they did to me was wrong but mention going to therapy for it, something that i, as the victim, am not comfortable with.

they also mention it being something they do in their sleep, but i find that bogus because of finer details during the actual groping state to me that ren was awake the entire time. i do not trust them in this situation, because they have betrayed my trust regarding being up front with things with me before (see below)

during the times when ren would visit, this so-called “sleep-groping” problem would happen a multitude of times—my PTSD makes it hard for me to remember specific numbers, but a ballpark estimate of how many times it’s happened to me is 10-15 (in two visits).

now, ren has admitted that they were aware of the problem when it occurred, but they did not elect to speak to me, their (at the time) sexual partner and (at the time) friend. this is troubling at its base level, but becomes a little more troubling when you remember that they are aware that my PTSD renders me immobile.

ren had one year to tell me that cuddling with them might be unwise because of their self-admitted “sleep-groping” habits, but did not do so and did not make any move to do so during the time i knew them. during that one year, i did not receive any communication regarding their “sleep problem”, despite the faith i put into them when another event happened, one i’m not comfortable reiterating now.

ren says that they’re seeking therapy for the events in question and for their “sleep problem”, but they told me the same thing when they did something to me the first time. i trust that they’re trying, but for the sake of your safety and my peace of mind, i’ve made this post so people are aware of the situation.

in short:

ren queenston has a tendency to touch people sexually in their sleep. be aware of this.

this is troubling, to say the absolute least. but that’s why i’m making this post, to raise awareness. they need to learn, and leaving them alone for a year for them to “get treatment” did not help the first time, and i doubt it will help now.

they need to be held accountable for their actions.

Their emphasis and links.

Shortly after, a close friend of Ren's came out in defense of the victim on tumblr (page has since been blanked.)

The twitter proof screenshots in this post were taken from me. I was the first person Ren actually admitted this to. Ren was my closest friend during the latter half of 2013 and, up until today, still was. They had me convinced that Nishi was manipulating and abusing them, but from what ive heard from Nishi _after_ ren flat out admitted raping Nish to me via twitter DM, i began to realize and see the abuse and manipulation Ren had on me, Nish, and everyone else.

I’m publically denouncing Ren Queenston right here, right now. They are a narcissist and abuser, and are _still_ trying to excuse their behavior, even tho all of their closest friends are turning on them, including me.

Nishi is being actually rather kind with this callout. From what i’ve heard from them and from other people, this isn’t an isolated incident. NIshi is not the first person Ren has raped. But it is up to those victims to come out about it on their own.

My twitter is softvoid. Because of the interactions ive been having all week with ren before nishi actually came out about it, i’m going to be actively trying to inform people about what has happened. Ren had been trying to manipulate me to turn against Nishi for _days_ before Nishi actually came out about this, and i had almost sided with Ren because i had ___no____ context, no fucking idea what was actually happening.

I cannot give details, obv, it is not my place. But if you need someone to confide in if Ren has abused you or someone you know, please DM me on twitter.

Ren's twitter account is currently protected, and I can't find much of their side of the story at the moment.

Scandal! / Syphon's fake wife and fake son are fake killed in a fake car accident

« on: August 27, 2012, 10:03:55 pm »

On August 24th, FA user Syphon posted a journal stating his wife Arina and infant son Sergei had been killed in a tragic car accident by a texting teenage driver.

My wife and infant son were killed in a car wreck last Friday. They were in a car with Arina's mother and brother when a highschool-aged kid was texting on a phone and missed a red light and ran into the car they were in on the side they were on. Sergei was killed instantly, so at least I have some solace in knowing my son didn't suffer. Arina... she held on just to see me one last time, so we could say goodbye to each other in the hospital.

Standard furry tragedy response ensues. However, the internet soon became suspicious when searches and direct requests of funeral arrangements, news stories, or obituaries came up empty.

Some awfully extensive internet sleuthing ensued, eventually revealing that no accident had taken place, and later that Arina and Sergei had never existed at all. It came as a shock to few, as nobody had ever seen a picture of her or the two of them together, though he apparently carried out an entire internet life for her.

Syphon caved two days later when presented with the evidence and posted a replacement journal owning up to his monumental fuckup and announcing he'd be leaving for an "indefinite period of time" and at the time of posting is blanking both his account and that of his make-believe wife.
