Hello (About The Situation)

Posted 1 year, 7 days ago by Chuumeii

Hello everyone. This is Chuumeii's older brother, Lei. First I would like to thank you all for your help and support for Mei. I remember I was trying to help her stop crying last night after I told her she had to leave this site, but your words and actions really helped her to feel better even though she would still leave. 

Now about the situation. I personally do not believe that it would be a reoccurring issue if I leave Mei stay here, it's just that this person in particular who took advantage of my sister was given a lot of information and preyed on her vulnerability, because of recent events. 

Not too long ago did our mother pass away and Mei, or Chuumeii, started to look into ways to cope with it. Art was one of those ways because of a IRL friend who drew with her alot. She ended up making a character that is part tiger and everything seemed to be fine (Tiger is our mother's Chinese zodiac, Mei started to obsess ovrr tigers after her passing, because our mother put alot of emphasis on zodiacs in a kind heartfelt manner...) I really encouraged this because she seemed much happier...

But overtime she began to start acting weird and scared a lot, having nightmares and throwing up a lot, especially at night. She was extremely fearful and I couldn't understand exactly why until I looked into her chat history on Discord and Toyhouse specifically... There I found absolutely revolting and inappropriate messages, calls, pictures and videos from a certain individual. They threatened her alot and that's what was causing the fear. She stopped drawing at some point, her IRL friend and me had in-depth discussion about where they met and how or why and after that I determined that Toyhouse wasn't a safe place for her, especially with how vulnerable she is now that our mother is gone...

Though, I didn't realize that people would be this saddened by her exit, I am starting to reconsider as I said before I don't think Toyhouse is the problem anymore, I think this horrible individual saw vulnerability within her and took advantage of it to a disgusting point... I will still have Chuumeii take a break from Toyhouse, I hope you all will understand, she is the last girl in my family I feel I must protect her at all costs. Even if we block them, I feel it's still unsafe on her with them around, especially with how scared she was everyday leading up until my revelation... I hope you all with understand and thank you for reading, I may provide a update after discussing it more maybe with my father.

I am so sorry this happened to her. I hope her mental stability increases in a positive manner and that she begins to feel like her old self. It's amazing she has an older brother to look up to and keep her safe! Leaving sites for safety regarding mental health is always an option and no bad feelings should be felt for needing a hiatus, whether it be permeant or temporary. I hope you're doing well, too, as I know finding your sibling (or anyone close to you) in a situation like this is heartbreaking.

super glad Chuumei is feeling better, and I hope her emotional health will continue to improve! And I am really sorry to hear about your mother’s passing, and wish you and your family best of luck. I think Toyhouse is a pretty good place, but there’s never a completely safe place. Perhaps in the future, using toyhouse with caution might be possible? 我很希望将来也许能和她交朋友。But until her break is over, I sincerely wish her to heal steadily, and 走出阴影!加油!^^

I understand Toyhouse may infact be a safe place. I just have concerns over one thing right now and I'm trying to navigate the site to figure it out... But my father was concerned over the "Pop Designer" thing. That worries me the most right now, this man was buying and offering to buy characters from preceived popular people who make these characters and I'm not exactly sure if they were in on the plan or what... if they were, then I have no idea how to combat this issue to let her back on the site... But if they weren't in on it, I'm not sure how they can prevent their characters from being used as a grooming gift. Some of the designers were Liluchuuu, Montu, minco, PopRocks, Rollz, Pop_Rocks, Sellune and more... it's a lot people and I'm not sure if they're in on it...

Hmmmm, I’m not too sure either as I am not familiar with those creators at all. Personally I don’t think they are in on it, but I suppose some could be? If they aren’t, perhaps suggest to Chuumei to not purchase any rather famous designs for a while, especially from people who are not the creators themselves? I’m not too sure about this issue either 😭 it really is a tricky situation. Maybe frequent monitoring from you and you guys’ father on her use of the website?
