Report from Metrocon

Tuesday, July 27th, 2010

Copied from a post on Den of Demons:

Metrocon was this past weekend, and both LS and Amaira were there. Amaira had no idea any of this was happening at all, so she went to talk to Lady Sayuki about it after we told her about it. In the end, all she had to do was look her in the eye, say she didn’t try to kill her baby or whatever, and Lady Sayuki said she’d post on her blog and take back what she’d said. I’m waiting to see if/when this happens.

There was some truth to Lady Sayuki’s story though- Amaira Rose did run into her last year. Amaira’s a very touchy/huggy person. She hugs as a greeting and tends to put a hand on your arm when she’s talking. She went to hug Lady Sayuki, who she was basically friends with, when someone ran into her. She, in turn, bumped into LS. There was apparently a delay, then an ‘ouch’ or whatever, Lady Sayuki’s boyfriend/husband or whatever was freaking out, but nothing else happened. Amaira hung around the booth for a while, and all was fine.

So yeah, TL;DR Amaira didn’t try to kill her baby, but she did bump into her.

Nice throwing your friend under the bus, there, I guess?

Since she’s going to retract the story on her blog, do you suppose she’s also going to apologize for claiming Den of Demons conspired to hurt her baby? I mean, I’ve asked (even on her forum — posting is moderated and she or whoever is doing the moderating didn’t let my post through) for links to or screencaps of the offending posts, and no one’s provided me with a thing, and now she’s admitting that no one even tried to hurt her baby.

Heck, I’d settle for her admitting that it wasn’t true, sans apology, but I doubt I’m going to get that either. I guess theoretically I could contact a lawyer about her libeling the forum as a whole, since she’s basically falsely accusing us of plotting attempted murder and she knows it, but fortunately for her I feel like that’s a waste of my time.

Official Den of Angels/Armeleia statement

Wednesday, July 7th, 2010

Den of Angels admin Armeleia has made an official statement about the email Lady Saiyuki posted from “her”. She’s also made a statement on her blog stating that the email is a complete fabrication. Important bits: 1. Armeleia has had no contact with Lady Saiyuki since 2007. 2. That’s not her email address. 3. The email sounds nothing like her anyway. 4. She has not had any communication from Lady Saiyuki’s supporters asking that she be unbanned. 5. “This is libel and I will be seeking counsel.”

Lady Saiyuki speaks

Tuesday, July 6th, 2010

Lady Saiyuki has made several very lengthy posts about this ongoing scandal in her forum. I’ve made a screencap of them for posterity, in case they disappear later (be warned, it is a very large PNG).

Contents of the post include the full text of the email allegedly sent to her by Armeleia, comparison photos with an Asleep Eidolon Pear head, and allegations that members of Den of Demons dared each other to hurt Lady Saiyuki at conventions to make her miscarry her baby while she was pregnant.

About this last: As a long-time member and a current administrator of Den of Demons, I  can say that to my knowledge this never happened. I’m not aware of there ever being any posts of this type, and if anyone has links to or screencaps of any of these posts I ask that they please send me the links. Email them, send them via AIM, PM me on Den of Demons or Den of Angels, comment here, I don’t care — just give me caps or links. Because I have never deleted any posts that had to do with LadySaiyuki, to my knowledge the previous admin never deleted any posts that had to do with ANYTHING, and I’m not aware of any such posts ever having existed.
