a good number of us knew that she was a conniving skank before anything went down, and are glad to see her go down in flames.This thread is really, really disturbing. Not because Ravenn apparently is a master at manipulating gullible men eager to help anyone who cries out, but because of the eagerness with which so many want to demonize her. Sure, now we can see she has been deceiving people into thinking they were all she had, and maybe even fraudulently collecting charity money for others only to use herself. That much is speculation right now, but a fair one to make.
The problem is when the "story" first broke, before most of us really knew anything, group sentiment suddenly shifted at the tip of a hat. Rav used to be worshiped by so many here, for no particular reason. It's the same as whatever dude said Stevelys' husband was a "lucky man" to have a woman like her based on...setting up a forum. In TGWBYHT it's not even a stretch to say she was worshiped. It was out of control at times. Yet when dirty laundry came up, before 99% of us had even close to enough information to judge anything, the masses suddenly couldn't wait to call her a swindling prostitute.
Don't mistake me for a white knight. Anyone who frequented TGWBYHT knows I'm far from it, and it certainly does appearby this pointthat she did engage in quite a bit of fraud. Also, I'm certainly not talking about everyone. But most of your reactions here are not the reaction to "epic thread" of the likes of finding out sam is a pedo. The reactions here are akin to reading celebrity gossip magazines and delighting in the fall of Britney Spears or any other celebrity's fall from grace. Your delight is in someone highly regarded falling into the gutter. You are like your 60 year old aunt reading People Magazine, except much, much worse.
Stop and think for a second when you so easily worship someone based on little to no information, then are willing to flip at the first chance to call that same person the worst person alive. It's pathetic.
as for those who worshipped her, I can't really speak for, but I don't see anything wrong with celebrating someone takes advantage of people's good will and is exposed for what they are.
