Post 18 of TBD. You can go review the footage yourself if you would like to confirm what I am saying as it is all available for review on the Welcome to Salem playlist on the Tales from the Forgotten Troupe YouTube channel. But I don't expect anyone to watch hours of footage so I provided some context in this post of the reality of the situation but please feel free to review the footage. And as a tip- which was my saving grace in all of this- when someone lodges a serious complaint against you around something, ask them to provide concrete examples of times that this happened because she made the claim "Jenna has a pattern of behavior of not respecting the agency of other players" and when the footage got reviewed, it was shown that this is not a valid statement. Her pattern of behavior with me is getting everyone around me to not trust me and to shame blame and gaslight me and I have backed that up with evidence. Beware of people who accuse you of things that you are not doing, it is likely a projection especially if they cannot provide concrete examples. Being opinionated, outspoken, and someone who isn't easily manipulated is not the same thing as being controlling. In fact, one might ask themselves how i got so incredibly sensitive to being labelled and bullied and manipulated (pssst its because i was heavily abused and emotionally manipulated starting real early in life and have spent literal decades in therapy to process and heal). People have the opportunity to provide alternate ideas, disagree, or not participate and I will always respect all of that. And do not ever assume that because my characters are a certain way it means that I am. I don't play out my unresolved issues at the table 90% of the time. I rolled the backstory for AA and admittedly she had some similar trauma to my own as we rolled on a table for backstories it was sort of random more than a choice. Mostly I base my characters on ppl in history, books, and my own unhinged imagination. Sometimes I literally will base a character on a joke or meme so everyone understands my characters are not that deep.
