Thread Topic: Hey.

I'm an older user who was groomed by Road and then bullied off the site, after attempting to come out about what happened. I was a child when it happened to me, and the situation today still is severely triggering.
I'd like to ask that adult users please don't use this serious issue to mock, or even air grievances with Road.
There's a lot of kids on here, the same kids we had wanted to protect from Road
You might have different intentions but what you're doing is still wrong.
Okay, thank you. -
I'm so sorry all of that happened to you, it must have been traumatic. I remember going through something similar way back when I was just a little kid, and I know it's tough. Stay strong, mate. You're a valid human being. :)
-
umm, i'd like to tell you that they are no longer allowed on the site. road has been banned.
-
I want to make it clear, I'm mot saying that you cannot discuss other issues you've has with road. But this situation shouldn't be used as a "drama sesh" or "tea spill". This is a serious crime. There are tangible victims. Children who could be retraumatised by the casual way our trauma is being treated.
You can raise an issue with Road's other behaviours without making light of the situation, or dragging users under the age of 18 into any other issues an adult may have with Road. Please no one put words in my mouth. : ) -
Ngl They were nearly too toxic based on what i've seen. I believe the mods made a correct decision.
-
yikes this is really disappointing because road genuinely seemed like a great person for the time they've been here. it's scary to think about how a lot of people can be seen as good people but under the scenes they do stuffs like this
im sorry you went through that, thanks for spreading light on the situation and i hope things get better for you buddy 🙏 -
I just have to say I've known Road for years. They're like kin to me and I can't quite see them doing what your accusing them of. I'm not saying you're lying, the internet is a large place with many twist and turns.
-
I am very sorry for making light of the situation and airing my grievences with Road on these forums. I'm so sorry for what happened to you. I have no where to turn to for anyone who understands the way she is treating me and the people I love irl. I need a community but I understand it's just as bad of me to spread negativity about her as what she spread about me. All I wanted was a chance to tell my side of the story. I will keep in mind these things don't need to be read by minors and censor myself from now on.

Zilla. While I understand you may care abput Road, it isnt appropriate to come into this type of thread and shed disbelief on my situation. You're entitled to all your own beliefs about Road, but with all of the posts that have been shared with evidence and recounts, perhaps you should consider that you only know what Road wanted you to know. I've shared my evidence in private. I dont owe you, or anyone else more than that. Thank you for your opinion, but please don't talk to me about that. I didn't make this thread for my accusations, I've done that in the past. This thread was only to highlight a specific issue I'd seen. [ and not just by a single person. Both on and off site I've seen screenshots of memes being made.]
Thank you Holly, I'm sorry if it seemed like I was attacking you. I defintley came out of the gate perhaps a little harsh yesterday, since this situation is very close to me. I hope I haven't pushed to far down on your own issues, take care! I genuinley hope your situation can be resolved. -
My heads a little cooler than it was yesterday so I saw fit to elaborate. My thread was meant specifically to discourage people from making jokes about this situation. I'll admit I came from a place of hurt. I'd seen some posts that were making light of the situation and I got angry. Road as a whole, is a different subject than specifically discussing Road and the grooming allegations.
That's specifically my issue. Road grooming me and others isn't tea. It's not hot gossip. It's our trauma. It's not funny, or interesting. I speak for myself, and only myself. Hell, I don't even come on here most of the time. I'm autistic, so I struggle oftentimes to express my thoughts and opinions fluidly, and concisely. I'm an emotional person, who struggles to get to the core of the issue.
Holly, I'd like to extend an apology for making you feel unwelcome or as if I was judging you. My understanding of who you were wasn't exactly clear, and I am very sorry for that.
This will be my last post. I want to end this chaoter of my life and leave GTQ. So I'd like to kindly ask the mods to lock this thread when they get a chance. I have an issue with always having to have the last word. /gen /nm
