So you might have seen a callout post float around about NeppyNeptune 

And I'd like to combat it, by showing people Neptunes rebuttal (warning: NSFW) (And the google DOC) as much as I can and my own two cents on the matter.

I believe Dylan (the accuser) was being manipulative towards Neptune (the accused). Dylan wanted Neptune sabotage his own well being for Dylan, and I believe that is NOT right for him to do. Neptune for the past several years has been combating his own struggles and reaching for his own goals, while having the weight of Dylan's behavior issues drag behind him. Is Neptune perfect? Of course not. But I believe Neptune wasn't emotionally abusive and was falsely accused of that.

The NSFW was obviously stylized and he put his own persona into it. Stating ages as well, saying they WERE legal (over the ages of 18) a few times in other pieces of work and the one in question. You can't just assume ages and then accuse them of drawing pedophilia just because they're small in size. The Vinny NSFW was quite questionable, and I really have no comment on that. 

Telling someone to forgive their abuser is in many levels of WRONG. They DON'T have to forgive an abuser if they choose. Pressuring them and saying you forgave your own is messed up, an that honestly made me angry to the point where I was shaking. If you want to forgive your abuser, that's fine. That's your own decision. But telling Neptune he isn't mature because he didn't forgive someone who emotionally hurt him is (I repeat) WRONG. 

If Neptune was uncomfortable by Dylan's presence because of his insecurities, age and several other reasons, Neptune has every right to cut off friendships for his own well-being. Dylan obviously lost someone who he looked up to because of his own issues, judging by his personality, art style and aesthetics. (Which is SO STRIKINGLY similar to Neptune's, I thought his account was Neptune's ALT) and decided to lash out instead of settling things maturely and wait things out to settle down.

If a friendship is making you exhausted and they're demanding more than what you can give out, you have EVERY right to terminate that friendship with them. Your well-being comes first because if you can't take care of yourself, you can't take care of the people around you. 

I hope you get a chance to read what both Neptune and Dylan have to say, and I hope you come up with your own conclusion. 

(PS. Neptune did not ask me to post this, I did this to my own accord. These are my own original thoughts and processes. If you want to talk things out about this journal, message me, not him. You can contact me on any of my active accounts.)

Neptune sent me porn after a joke they took to serious. And they even hid the comments. So now Shark Sludge has a problem about the porn.
