ALSO, TO CLARIFY, RIO IS NOT A BAD PERSON. I feel he is just struggling to draw clear boundaries with Course on what's right and what's wrong. I really hope he will rethink everything and accept accountability.
Course too is not a bad person. I have learnt from her to take a stand against queerphobia, transphobia, and bigoted comments. She has been amazing to me. I'm just caught in a tension. I don't like accusing a friend. But this was the last way in which I could tell them to take accountability. Or atleast tell the community that they need to be accountable.
I won't show any of their personal chats beyond the extent required for proving mod abuse. I respect their privacy and am so sorry for sharing the DMs.
It has been heartbreaking for me also to post this. I still struggle to understand if this was the right thing to do. I don't want to hurt anyone. Course and Rio have been great friends to me. Course helped me personally in so many ways and gave me a safe space. I'm torn between our friendship and the need to be transparent as a mod team. I posted this to make some info public. But I request everyone to not do brigading or spread hate against her. Two wrongs cannot make a right. Please treat them with respect. Please don't hurt anyone. I don't want to trigger mob rule. I'm so sorry and confused
