Context: Project Moon asked staff to delete tweets featuring political statements. They judged the lead artist's tweets are a violation of policy, and have decided to terminate her contract. However... (1/7)
In 2018 (before the artist joined project moon), there was a huge feminist backlash, major women's movements, and a resulting anti-feminist reaction. She posted about women's rights in 2017~2018, nothing politically controversial, though extremely catty and bitter. (2/7)
In this tweet, you can see discussion about the game's haters trying to get something to stick. One person explicitly states she DID delete the tweets as per Project Moon's policy (!) (3/7)
This tweet has alt text contextualizing the burst of feminist sentiment, but the specific retweet triggering this hate campaign appears to be the one saying "if being a feminist makes me Megalia, I'm Megalia". (4/7)
Megalia is a scumbag leftist radfem group known for being edgelords, originated from Korean 4chan. it was HUGELY controversial, enough so that association would in fact be an incendiary political statement in the way the general cattiness about men wouldn't be. (5/7)
Here's the thing; Megalia was shut down in 2017. The tweet was made in 2018. The tweet in question is very clearly stating, "you call me Megalia as an insult, I don't care. I am above all a feminist". Again, I wouldn't call this incendiary, just bitter. (6/7)
Therefore, Project Moon is firing the artist for feminist sentiment she had diligently deleted from her account as per her contract, because the screencaps still exist. It seems this is a kneejerk reaction due to the incels were publicly marching outside the PM offices. (7/7)
⚠️ADDITIONAL INFO TO FILL YOU WITH BITTERNESS⚠️
Vellmori is 23. These tweets were from 5 years ago, when she was 18.
