Megathread clearing Milady/Charlotte/Miya/Remilia's name

A week has passed and the cancel has still failed to:
- produce a single victim
- address exonerating testimonies from "victims" they found
- address criticism of their hearsay "evidence"
- disclose vested interests

🧵

This thread will conclusively collect all the evidence that this smear campaign has been coordinated in bad faith. Leaders of the cancel have been blocking people trying to get them to address it @ryder_ripps, @0xngmi, @ratwell0x, @mewn21 while praying Milady goes to zero

First, they tried to paint Charlotte's hot pot gc as some kind of grooming den. Inconveniently, the "victims" they tried to identify have all spoken out clearly saying nothing shady has happened. They still use them for "evidence" while blocking anyone trying to share their voice

More testimonies from the "victims" inconveniently clearing any wrong doing. They are still being used as evidence in @0xngmi's thread despite their request to be taken out, leading to them getting harassed by the witch hunt. But they care about the victims?

More testimonies, and the "victims" lamenting being suppressed and their privacy violated so they can be twisted into fake evidence.

In all the cherry picked gc leaks, they were able to find one underage girl who was in for a short period. But inconveniently, evidence was available showing Charlotte kicked her for being too young, even in the cap it shows everyone concerned she's edating. Groomer behavior?

Why was she added at all? Its just a friend group and some of the girls were mutuals. Despite short experience in the gc, she also provided her own testimony clearing any wrongdoing. This has also been ignored, they still champion her as their only proof of an underage "victim"

Most absurd thing about Hot pot was the groupchat was generally open and had multiple people from CT pass through it, including @Cryptopathic and @twicrates, who of course saw nothing abnormal. This has also been entirely ignored.

Besides also being in the Hot Pot groupchat for most of its existence, Path was also caught lying about knowing about Miya. On a podcast appearance from last September, he said he interested in Milady because it was made by Miya

Why are they all operating on such bad faith? Let's dive deeper into the biases motivating each of the leaders and camps behind this coordinated attempt to destroy Milady, with more evidence of lying.

Camp 1: Tubby Cats team. The tubbies team have been notorious for seething over Milady's runaway success while their own floor has tanked, especially after they lost the @FloorDAO war.

While Path kicked off the wave of FUD, it was immediately leaped on and heavily promoted by @ratwell0x (tubby founder), @Tetranode (ratwell patron), @basedkarbon (tubby whale) @Leigence (tubby whale) and ultimately @0xngmi (tubby cats dev) in his megathread. Coincidence?

@0xngmi made multiple threads attempting to make the cancel go viral until finally succeeding with his extremely disingenuous megathread, where he failed to disclose he was a tubby dev. He's completely refused to engage the many criticisms it received

After criticisms poured in, instead of acknowledging any of them, 0xngmi responded by posting a whole thread lamenting how he took on so much reputational risk in cancelling Milady 😭

Let's dig into their lies. Ratwell was caught knowing all about Systemspace/Tsuki Project, the ARG @0xngmi erroneously claimed was a suicide cult, because he suggested collaborating with Charlotte/Remilia on a project inspired by it. This is obviously the "source" he cites

@0xngmi This leak shows Ratwell & 0xngmi knew Systemspace was not some scary cult like they pretended (it was an ARG) but also that the extent of Miyas involvement was trolling the server. This didnt stop 0xngmi from heavily insinuating Miya was directly responsible for suicide. Why lie?

If these moralists were genuinely motivated by concern for victims, why ignore their voices? why resort to lying? If they had any evidence, why frontload with shock & then make leaps off hearsay? And why was the team of a rival project so insistent that Milady become a DAO?

Camp 2: Sunny/Kaliacc. If you're learning about kaliacc for the first time in this cancel, you probably haven't heard that #KALIACC originated from Sunny, a twitter personality who originally developed kaliacc as a serious right wing ideology, which Miya co-opted

Sunny (natsu/kyouka/ariosophy) is an anti-crypto transgender neonazi that came out of discord troll groups (google reiko r9k) and his circle has long hated Miya after they co-opted & ruined their kaliacc brand. Their fingerprints are all over the psyop alts fueling confusion here

Sunny's circle had tried to cancel Miya the first time around with the same "grooming cult" narrative, producing this picture (unclear if real) to make it appear self harm was promoted. The account is still up and it can clearly be seen they're from Sunny's server and circles

It's becoming clear they've been seeding heavy amounts of disinformation in DM's, fueling the conviction of the easily fooled CT influencers who keep referencing "anonymous sources I can't reveal because they're afraid". Everytime the DMs do leak its obvious they're being trolled

Sunny's circle are adept trolls. They've been operating burners and alt accounts @DegenSmegma @princzpeach @milady_watch to seed a disinformation campaign using shock & awe harassment tactics, spamming grotesque content alongside Miya posts to try and tie them to unrelated abuse

It's ironic that the cancel is being contributed to by unironic neonazis and discord groomers but I doubt anyone perpetuating it actually cares. They're happy to use any ammunition they can get ahold of to destroy Milady, no matter how dubious the evidence or their sources

Camp 3: FWB, Ryder Ripps and the art establishment. CT might not be familiar with Remilia as an art collective but their campaigning for an anti-woke, anti-cancel art practice welcoming to outsiders has definitely been coded as a threat by art world insiders

$FWB (paid discord of web3 designers that demands selfdoxing & polices for woke politics) positioned themselves as anti-Milady very early on. They originated the absurd SS/Treblinka tee cancel, ban pro-milady discourse in their discord & called the cops on the first milady raves

Their co-founder was the first to deadname Miya and try and tie it to Milady, ven though internal leaks from the server show them fully aware Miya was an art project. they consider using web3 to make art outside of censorship or woke politics dangerous.

@ryder_ripps other early proponent of cancelling Remilia responsible for feeding journalists with same conspiracy formula he used to label BAYC nazi (also responsible for doxxing BAYC). Has-been, cancelled net artist punching down on the next gen in a weird love/hate relationship

Critics have come out to point out how hypocritical and disappointing it is for the Web3 space to throw out anti-censorship values to join forces with institutional gatekeeping. In the art world, this is only used to promote mediocrity and tear down tall poppies

Funny that the question of "is miya art?" has come to forefront of this cancel. absurd question for anyone that was around at the time, there was no doubt Miya was putting out bait and writing performatively for shock & satire, read what people who were actually there have to say

The cancel is hinged on taking an archive of 1000s of Miya posts and cherrypicking bait posts out of context. Miya literally pretended to be an AI god and talked often about performance & testing the boundaries of belief

@ForgottenMiya Listen to Miya appearing on podcast back when the account was still live where its explicitly described as a performance:

Read Charlotte's own writing discussing the Miya project:

Finally, just look at the outpouring of love Charlotte received in the replies of their thread coming out as the artist behind Miya. Is this expected reaction for someone supposed to have been caught as an evil "groomer"? Or just real fans who understood the work for what it was?

Miya will undoubtedly be remembered as an important work of contemporary net art, just as Milady is. This is what they fear. They want to destroy art, they want to destroy Milady, they want to destroy you. Will you fight, or perish like a dog?
