Beware: Dazai

Scamming, lying and guilt tripping

I want to preface this by saying that before writing this I had no personal issues with Dazai, we were mutuals, not close in any regard but we had spoken a few times. I am aware that testimony is not proper evidence, but I hope that the few stories with screenshots are enough to convince you to block and report them.

If you have any additional information or experiences you would like me to add, please let me know at whichhats on toyhouse

I don’t condone harassing anyone mentioned in this doc. Simply block, report and move on.

If there are any images you can’t read and would like a closer look, they are all in a sta.sh here: https://sta.sh/226h5kqjxppk

Sorry if this is poorly formatted, I’ve never had to write a callout post on anyone before.

Who is Dazai?

Dazai is a semi-popular artist among a small section of Toyhouse. In screenshots they may be referred to as Edgar or Felix, and their known alt accounts are Edgar_allen_poe, Akutagawa and Shibusawa and their previous account was Detective_Moment. They use they/them as of writing this so that is what I will use for them. They are most known for their oc Creampuff, who is typically on the front page of most images, however due to the recent events is now authorized only.

Ok enough introduction and into the meat of it

The Straw That Broke the Camel’s Back

I’ll start with the most recent event. My close friend Starruberrii made an adopt and Dazai asked about a hold. Starru then accepted a different offer for the same amount without the hold. They then called Starru a scammer and wrote up a heavily exaggerated blacklist entry about her. As well as claiming she namedropped them publicly when all her bulletins about the situation were authorized only and asking for advice on dealing with the situation.

Screenshots of the conversation and Dazai’s claims below. (blacklist image edited for clarity, they use a very light font color that is very hard to see. Edit: thank you Chiming_Hymnals for making even clearer ones)

And here is Starru’s clarification over all of these claims:

Dazai then proceeded to act holier than thou when in reality they were hiding their tracks.

Continued Behavior

You may be confused about the first point on those, a PSA? That wasn’t a part of this.

Well it’s because this is not the first time Dazai has started drama over something very minor.

I’ll let Lab explain.

And a closeup of the Discord screenshots

Guilt tripping and Hypocrisy

Before we start on this I want to give a HUGE thanks to my friend BATTMEAT on DA, he provided all these screenshots for me. Notice Dazai’s typing style in these screenshots.

EDIT: Another Scamming Instance

I wanna thank AledLast for reaching out and sending me all these screenshots

Closeups of the discord screenshots

EDIT: Another Instance of General Rudeness

I was contacted by a user that wants to remain anonymous about another experience with Dazai.

Others’ Testimony & Misc.

I will start out with the largest one, from BATTMEAT, username is censored because his current account is private and I wish to respect that.

Here is Battie’s blacklist entry.

And here is Battie’s side of the story

Here is the bulletin mentioned above

And another person’s recount of the event.

+Dazai stating they don’t do refunds (rest of conversation lost as popcorn’s old acc used at this time was closed)

I was sent this screenshot as well to go with the claims of racism

Now onto another user, M4RK’s claims.

His blacklist entry is lumped together with two other users

And here is M4RK’s side of the story

A statement from Cheezypopcorn509, who is in the same blacklist entry

And here are some other miscellaneous testimonies about experiences with Dazai.

The art piece in question

Same person as above on a different account

The linked Discord screenshots:

Idk where else to put this but allegedly they’re also faking being a system (as someone with adhd, these strike me more as signs of adhd than being a system) I don’t really feel like this is very relevant but I was suggested to put it here so I did

Conclusion

Once again I do not want ANYONE to harass or even interact with Dazai. This has been a pattern for two years and so I believe that the correct course of action is to get them deplatformed and banned if possible. They need to get offline and be given the chance to rethink their actions, without the ability to crawl away to an alt account.
