Totally normal thing to photoshop bruises on the head of an abuse victim to put into a gif of her getting knocked out by her abuser. What? You've never done it.

That FB video is beyond terrifying, as is LK's update ("For reasons of safety there are things I haven't posted here but basically, contacting Logan has been made more difficult than simply sending her a text"). I'm truly worried for her wellbeing

Thus,

Things that you can do right now to help:

1. Donate to RAINN: https://donate.rainn.org/donate
2. Talk to people in your communities about what's happening, and encourage them to donate to RAINN as well. Threads, discords, whatever!
3. Don't be a wrecker who vaults the destruction of their posting enemies or mods above tangible gains, such as donations to RAINN or the discontinuation of Lowtax's funding/ownership.

Prester Jane posted:

Goons if I could ask you to read an effort post I'd like to suggest what I feel is one of the best things we could do in this situation.

First off I would like to humbly request that we hold off on the discussion where to assign blame for this communities enabling of Lowtax's abuse for the moment- it's an important discussion to have, but I don't feel this exact moment is the best time to have it because there are more pressing issues to address that should come first. The one thing comment I have on the matter is: irrespective of individual levels of guilt that can be rationally (or irrationally) assigned to various members of this community; the fact of the matter is that the community (as a whole) bears a very significant level of responsibility for enabling Lowtax's abuse. We cannot wash this stain or undo what has been done, but what we can do is (as a community) focus first and foremost on helping Logan get into a better and safer space.

I think when you view Logan's video and her recent actions it's important to keep in mind what exactly the context is and how astonishingly difficult it is for an individual in her situation to psychologically overcome the conditioning they have experienced and recognize that they are an abuse victim. At this point in her life Logan's entire self-identity, professional career, and source of revenue, are all tied up in Lowtax via this website. This is a very common situation for abuse victims to be placed in by their abusers and one of the reasons why it is often so hard for abuse victims to recognize the situation and extract themselves from it- so let's do what we can to make that (impossibly difficult) internal journey easier for Logan.

Logan, sweetie, if you happen to read this I want you to know that you are a worthy human being who deserves love and compassion. Yes, even being an alcoholic bipolar mess in a terrible situation- you are still worthy of love and compassion. Your safety, and your future happiness, are more important than this community. So your level of responsibility for the current situation doesn't matter, what matters is getting you out of this situation and into a safe one where you have the time and resources you need to focus on your recovery.

To that end goons I would like to propose that we open a GoFundMe of some sort to support Logan, get her away from Lowtax and help her afford the help she is going to need to restart/rebuild her life after this. I would also like to suggest that we open a simular GoFundMe for Lowtax's other victims, and in particular his children, who are definitely going to need support in the coming months/years.

In my view these are the least we can do to acknowledge that no matter which individuals Among Us shoulder the blame, we as a community have a clear-cut responsibility to do whatever we can to help Lowtax's victims recover from the abuse that our community has enabled.

I honestly don't believe that anyone on these forums in any way enabled Lowtax to abuse Logan. Abusers abuse people due to problems they have in themselves, not because of money they make from their jobs. Assigning guilt to forums users does no one no good -- Lowtax could lose the forums and the website and end up slinging burgers at Wendy's and still be a domestic abuser, would that be your fault?. The people who watched Weinstein's movies are not guilty of enabling his abuse because they bought a movie ticket. If we had all the information in February and we all defunded the forums back then, he would most likely have still abused his next partner. It's a pattern of his behavior, not a result of our behavior.
