Softpaw contributer arrested(?)

[an hoopoe]

Mizzyam is a furry artist who has contributed to Softpaw magazine (subject matter cub porn). Recently, someone claiming to be his sister posted this journal on his Inkbunny account:

Some Bad News
Hey... This is Mizzy's sister here. I've been given permission to access this account and I'm afraid I have some terrible news.

Mizzy will no longer be participating in online activities for an undetermined length of time. Unfortunately, I cannot tell anyone why, but something awful occurred the other day and those who are close to Mizzy and have been privy to his confessions will have a very good idea of what I;'m referring to. Everyone else, I have some things to inform you of.

Firstly, commissions are on hiatus indefinitely, possibly for good if what Mizzy is afraid will happen does indeed come to pass. However, to those whose pictures he may never get to finish, he will try to find some way to pay you back. I've been given access to his paypal account for the purpose of issuing refunds should it become necessary.

Secondly, all future commissions and projects he tells me he had lined up, are cancelled until further notice.

Some things he would like to note are as follows:

-He cannot be contacted as he no longer has access to a computer.

-He cannot be visited or called by anyone; this is apparently his own choice.

And finally, he wants to say that he knew and expected this day to come and accepts full responsibility for his actions. They were committed knowingly and repeatedly, as he tells me, for little more reason than to justify his own self-loathing.

He still firmly believes he deserves this, and as a result of recent events his depression and self-loathing have magnified immensely. He tells me his life is over, even if not physically, psychologically and emotionally it has. According to him, as soon as things are dealt with, and assuming he isn't locked away, he will never leave this house again or speak to anyone beyond its walls.

I am very worried for him, but I wrote all of this at his request so that people will not be forever wondering why he disappeared off the face of the world. He has told me he won't stop drawing, even if it ha to be on paper. So perhaps one day, if his "rights as a human being" are ever returned to him, he may be able to start posting again.

There is one last thing he wants me to say. He's sorry. Not for himself, but for what this may mean for all of you watching him. And for those that have commissioned him and have been wanting to. He is sorry that his self-loathing has caused him to lose the ability to do the only other thing that ever mattered to him any more aside from drawing for the sake of creation and expression; making all of you happy with the work he produced. Even if he himself never saw the worth in it like all of you did.

Mizzy won't be able to read any comments you may leave, but he has asked me to answer any questions there may be to the best of my abilities. Though I cannot divulge everything, I will try my hardest to alleviate any concerns or curiosities.

I'm sorry this happened as much as he is, because I have to witness the self-destructive downward spiral he has begun. I really hope things get better soon...

Dear $terribleusername,
Stop posting.
Love, PT

PS Your banned

Also I've been on the internet too long to take something like that at face value.  It smacks too much of "leaving the fandom, back in 5 minutes".

On the other hand, if you're going to pull a LEAVING FOREVER then "the police have charged me with possessing indecent images of children" is a pretty good one. Shows above-average levels of self-awareness, at least.

No shit.

That's why I registered with this one instead of Ricky

I thought of that too, but you would think his sister would have denied the whole CP thing.

Otherwise, best troll ever <3


Oh, also not sure if anyone noticed but his entire IB account has been removed...

EDIT: looks like it is official:

A comment, from the comments on that article:

To those of you who know my brother and those who may not, I would like to clear the waters.

Mizzyam is NOT a pedophile!

He has been suffering for a long time with depression and a debilitating self-destructive streak. This whole CP fiasco is just one more way he has devised to destroy his life, and I'm afraid he may have succeeded this time. We are working hard to clear his name and get him the help he needs to get his life back on track.

I repeat: Mizzyam DOES NOT enjoy child pornography! He finds it sick and wrong! And is disgusted at himself for even pretending to like it. He WANTED to get caught, to destroy his life!

Please... don't let him destroy his life like this. Help protect his reputation by spreading the truth about this to those who would treat him like a filthy criminal.

I love my brother and don't wish to see him imprisoned for such a horrible mistake of judgement, nor have his life completely destroyed by this.

Who is this person claiming to be his "sister"? She or he must have gotten quite a few favors to defend this fucker to such an extent.
Are we really in that badly of need for excuses that she would have people believe that this was all self sabotage and not the usual, "It was a trusted friend who put those images there!" explanation? Murdering a person for looking at you wrong is less reprehensible than having a collection of cp. This bitch ain't fooling anybody.  Really ,are we to discount the fact that this Mizzyam was a cub porn artist for the longest time? Can people not connect the dots?

Every time I visit this site I laugh harder and harder.

Is it just me or has there been an increase in sick fucks out there in the past few months?

I think (hope) not. More likely when one pops out of the woodwork, that makes people more alert to other ones. Like with Republican sex scandals, or terrorist attacks after September 2001.

[ProvincialTwit]

Or people getting sloppy or having their safety nets drop out from beneath them when it comes to hiding their proclivities.

[RickyBobbyMew]

Murdering a person for looking at you wrong is less reprehensible than having a collection of cp.

There are plenty of people who actually believe that these days.

CP is wrong and should be illegal but it's a sensational topic and people tend to blow it way out of proportion.

Downloading pics is not equivalent to molesting a child.

This bitch ain't fooling anybody.

Probably not =P
