Fandom-friend/stalker/troll vantiri (@livejournal) who spreads homophobic diatribes on every site and fic he comes across (and with whom I've had several run-ins with over the years) appears to be going by Thrawn on ao3 and has found me again

That sucks. Like that's putting it lightly, but it does. I'm so sorry. Nobody should have to deal with that. And now your having to deal with it for the third time.

Not fair. And sucks. (again better words are needed)

I hope AO3 does something about it. I don't really know how they handle things, so I just hope they kick him off. It defenitely doesn't help tht OUAT and SG both have decent size femslash fans. Supergirl actually has an openly out main female character. So, yeah.

Basically, ilu, you don't deserve this, and I hope A03 kicks him off/blocks him from the site/throws the virtual book at him.

It's hard to know? he seems ~normal until you realize that he legitimately thinks lesbians are evil and all his non-con/dub-con is his way of asserting supremacy over lesbians? otherwise it just reads like fic. it's hard to know where to draw the line.

I just can't believe he found me again. I'm so tired.

[lynzie914]

Gross. I haven't even read anything and it still makes my skin crawl.

I'm so sorry he found you again. If I could chase him away from you I would. Hopefully reporting him will help. Otherwise I agree with the others just delete his ass as much as you can.

ilu. and give you lots of hugs and virtual bake goods and some more hugs because hugs.

He's been there for several years, so I doubt they will.

:-(

Thrawn is a very nasty piece of work - I will not rec any of his stuff on su_herald and I've had one or two 'encounters' myself. Homophobic, but in a nasty, voyeuristic, prurient way, as if it wasn't bad enough already. Also a Class A troll. My sympathies to you - just ignore and delete anything from him, as I do. I wish they'd ban him from posting on AO3, I must say, though presumably they would make anti-censorship arguments. Ugh.

[kwritten]

It snuck up on me? I let my guard down and legit forgot he was a Thing that Happens and then next thing I knew there were FIVE comments in my inbox about ... well yeah.

What eats me up - and why it's so hard to ignore - is that my gorgeous, loving, wlw characters - he claims ownership of. He legitimately thinks that I'm writing from the same POV as him. even if he's trolling - having someone like that come into your space and call themselves a Fan of your work. It's nauseating.

[gillo]

I know. He's written some appalling stuff about Willow as a rapist because Tara is a decent young woman. And it's vicious, violent stuff too. He's tried to engage with me too. I ranted at him, once, then deleted anything else from him. He is clearly obsessed by women who love women but assumes they must be evil, so it's OK to make them do whatever he wants. (He's a truly crappy writer too, of course.)

Try hard to ignore him - delete anything from him unread if you possibly can. {{hugs}}

[kwritten]

Yes. he does seem to gravitate to "women must be punished" side of things - especially wlw. it's really disturbing.

When I posted my "Farewell LJ" note the other day and thanked "one and all", I was this close to adding "except Vantiri because fuck that asshole". Utterly loathsome creep.

Stay safe, and I hope AO3 finally does something about him.

Beer Good

lol. the day I leave this hellsite I will probably think very long and hard about doing the same. He's .... such a toxic, malignant person.

xoxo babe

[rosaxx50]

Stay safe, my friend. It's a pity AO3 doesn't have a 'ban' or 'block' the way tumblr does - and I can't believe I'm praising tumblr.

ps did you mean to leave this unlocked?

[kwritten]

After the initial "holy shit why" wore off - I started to get really nervous about the littles in the fandoms he's now circling towards. it's all bad.

(yes - he's not allowed to see my lj presence at all pretty much, and I want everyone to know he's still lurking and where)

[snogged]

I've had him comment on my fics before. It's uncomfortable.

[kwritten]

oh. **squish**

I'm so sorry you've been on the other side of this as well.
