This interaction is your reputation

We’ve blocked each other long ago. They are the ones continuing to talk about me.

The damage they’ve done to the reality of the situation needed to be addressed. So i did.

Are you done? Or…

I hard for me to split hairs on deranged art porn. It’s all gross to me. 🤷‍♂️

Hans Van Harken @hansvanharken.bsky.social · Dec 3

Believe it or not, I appreciate this back and forth. It seems you’ve made up your mind on me. But I know I did nothing wrong.

You’re free to believe what you like. I’ve laid out my side of things.

I hope you have a good rest of your night!

Thanks for communicating
🙏

I only brought up the danger of what they were doing multiple times because they kept doing it. They eventually did it to Tom Fulp. That’s why I had reconnected with Fore in October.

I kept following Duo’s account that didn’t have any gross art because, again, I believe in positive reinforcement.

Please reread this post.

If anything at all, I was probably just speculating in this alleged convo.

Heresay, as in:
people misconstruing what I was trying to make sense of at the time, and twisting my words like a game of telephone.

People blow things out of proportion.

Can I see an example of me ‘dissing’ fore in my discord?

I remember feeling overwhelmed by their unwarranted and thorough attack on me (Skel Studio).

I still have trouble wrapping my mind around these art porn wars. It’s not my world.

I had just blindsided and trying to make sense of things.

Hans Van Harken @hansvanharken.bsky.social · Dec 3

And what’s wrong with that speculation?

1

Hans Van Harken @hansvanharken.bsky.social · Dec 3

Sounds like a lot of heresay.
You should be more mad at the people lying to you than the people they’re lying about.

As far as ‘supporting’ Duong, I don’t support their behavior and their gross art. But i believe in positive reinforcement.

Teaching is better than punishing.

Forgive my optimism

I didn’t see their nsfw ‘non-con’ gore porn before commissioning them in 2023 for the Madness Movie pitchbook cover art.

As for the first picture, forgive me for trying to encourage the better parts of Duong to grow up instead of blood-thirsting for their complete annihilation.

Yeah a lot of Newgrounds knock off merch across the internet.
It’s sad

Hans Van Harken @hansvanharken.bsky.social · Dec 3

I never ‘shat’ on Fore. Our conversation was civil. And I never ‘supported’ Duong after learning of their behavior.

Hans Van Harken @hansvanharken.bsky.social · Dec 3

I posted the full conversation on twitter. The video is too big for blusky. I welcome you to read the whole thing for yourself!

To my beloved #madnesscombat community~

As of late, I’ve caught wind of rumors swirling that I threatened legal action against a member of the community. This is a lie.

Here is the actual interaction:

Oh btw! In case it wasn’t clear,
my Harchar discord server has been deleted after 3 years.

It got too bloated and too empty.

Thanks for a great run!

Hans Van Harken @hansvanharken.bsky.social · Dec 2

They’re lying about me.
I never threatened legal action - yet another lie.

I specifically clarified I wasn’t threatening them, just that they should be more careful.

They proceeded to delete their accusation corrections, and bore false witness against me since.

I wish them well, they need help.
