Bob Carlos Clarke was born in Cork, Ireland in 1950, and came to England in 1964 to study art and design at The West Sussex College of Art where he developed an interest in photography. He then went on to The London College of Printing, before completing his degree at the Royal College of Art in 1975.
He worked in almost every sphere of photography, winning numerous awards for his high-profile advertising campaigns, recognition for his photojournalism and portraits of celebrities, and international acclaim from collectors of fine prints.
I’ve been getting asked a lot about what the drama is in the Sing fandom/community, so sharing the callout doc here because I’m a little winded from having to explain things over and over. And just to warn others who are new to the community.
But to sum it up: someone who went by the name fluffywolfparis, (they’re still around but change their username constantly) has been harassing/stalking me for 4 months straight due to being jealous of my OC Claudia. They were stalking my blog multiple times a day/stirred up more drama just recently despite promising to leave me alone/saying they would change.
It’s traumatized me pretty bad and I almost quit art due to it. I’m still having a hard time coping with it, but the original callout was lost so I felt obligated to share this one to inform others.
I do appreciate everyone being kind to me the last few months. I’ve only recently began drawing again and being active and I hope some day I’ll heal from this experience and can be comfortable again with sharing my art and ocs. :>
Please support miss Trisha, she being harassed and bully by this paris person and is not ok
Miss Trisha is a wonderful and kind person who does not deserves this at all
This paris person have been making a lot of accounts just to stalk her and harassed her and their apology posts are not even sincere, it mostly acting like a victim and blaming on autism which is obviously they don’t have it and is a grown ass adult, it just not some shitty and bratty kid, please support miss Trisha and report this paris person and their accounts, this situation is getting out of hand and the paris person is the reason why I was scared to show my sing ocs here, the sing fandom is small but wonderful and is clear we don’t a fucking immature asshole to ruined the fandom, shit like this happens in fandoms and is one the reason I left a few too (voltron fandom)
Please report this paris person and their accounts
Due to the serious underpayment the voice actors of Miraculous Ladybug are getting (despite the high popularity of the show), Joe Ochman, the English VA of Mayor Bourgeois has left the show and will be replaced in Season 5. On top of that, the reason SAMG will be no longer animating Miraculous episodes also has to due with being underfunded. SAMG is known in the fandom for animated some of the best episodes in terms of animation like Crocoduel and Strike Back. Mind you, if they can afford to make The Awakening Movie with a budget over 100 million dollars, then they can afford to give their employees a fair pay. Please check out and sign this petition made by Sydney Satalino to protest against this. Also make sure to share this on as many social media accounts as you can with the hashtag #ZagPayUp. Let’s be the heroes that Miraculous Ladybug inspired us to become.
This is the last post I’m going to make on the situation, mainly because it isn’t my place to speak for others, especially the victims in this situation. However, I do think it’s best to warn you guys, and to let you know when there is a toxic person that needs to be avoided or reported. As a member of such a small fandom as the Sing/Sing 2 fandom, I do strive to keep other people feeling comfortable, and that includes standing up for them when the time comes to do so.
If you want more information, I highly encourage you to speak to the victims, especially Trisha ( @trishabeakens). She has endured so much within just the span of a few months, and her perseverance is staggering. Trisha, I’m sending all of my love to you in this.
To all other victims of @/fluffywolfparis, I’m also sending you all my love, and my kindest regards. You all are amazing individuals, and I hope you are all aware that you have many people standing behind you, ready to protect you. <3
With that out of the way, I want to give a quick disclaimer that there will be mentions of topics such as stalking, su*c*de-baiting and blood. So, if you’re triggered by any of that, I recommend that you do not read through this post.
I also want to let you all know that I take situations like this very seriously. This post will not be created as a theory post, shit post, or anything that would be incredibly disrespectful to the victims. I do want to put a “Keep Reading” line, so that those who are sensitive to the topics being discussed will not have to scroll all the way through and endure said things.
Lastly, I would like to ask that you do not send hate to @/fluffywolfparis. Yes, what they’ve done is horrible, but fighting violence with violence is never the answer. @/fluffywolfparis’ Tumblr account has deactivated since the news began to spread of this callout post being created. She currently resides on Twitter and Instagram. To deter from anyone sending hate, I will not be revealing the names of her current accounts. For safety reasons, I must announce that any and all accounts mentioned in this post that belong to her are disabled or deactivated.
People in sing/sing 2 fandom be careful with fluffy and their friends, they have been harassing and bullying @trishabeakens for months now and they need to be stop
Miss Trisha is a kind and good person who does not deserves this
Please report fluffy and their friends and block them so they won’t bother you too
They are on tumblr, Instagram, Twitter and fluffy is on TIKTOK and they are making new accounts just to harass miss Trisha
**UPDATE** - My family and I have reached our goal! Thank you to everyone who shared this post! <3
I’ve never done this before, I normally just leave a pinned post for people who’d like to donate, but I’m in desperate need right now. I’m on the brink of eviction as I’ve been in and out of the hospital along with other troubles and I’ve fallen behind on rent. I’m begging any and everyone who is willing to donate to send to my cashapp *****funded***** Even if it’s just a penny, I’ll be grateful. My goal right now is $2,395 which will cover the past due and put my family and I one month ahead until we can get back on our feet. If you need any proof or details about what’s going on, please feel free to message me (I just had surgery on my spine and abdomen so I may not reply right away, but I will try to be as prompt as I can) and if you can’t donate, please share this post for me. Thank you!
I was going to make a video. I tried at least three times. But I couldn’t bring myself to record another cliché YouTuber goodbye. My teary-eyed apologies opening me up to even more scrutiny.
Some would say I only did it for attention, insincere. Others would give their undying support. Still others would hate me in silence.
It’s a strange thing to be hated by hundreds of people who you will never know. It’s a nightmare to face an angry mob of internet strangers ready to judge your deeds, dehumanize and ostracize you in the name of justice.
You may say this is melodramatic, that I’m certainly overreacting. But have you ever faced the trauma and humiliation of being canceled for a stupid mistake you made years ago?
Have you ever opened your browser to find thread after thread, comment after comment, post after post - condemning you? Have you ever had your entire essence summarized in 280 characters of pure, unrelenting hatred?
Casual condemners perform no self-reflection. They never consider they’ve done anything wrong by jumping to the worst possible conclusion. They feign outrage and disgust without waiting to hear from you. Minds are made up and punishment decided. You are stripped bare.
I will no longer support her.
I used to be such a fan.
I’m so disappointed in her.
Disgusting.
I always knew she was a bitch.
Be careful who you support. When someone’s mask slips, they may not be who you thought they were.
She’s so passive aggressive.
Absolutely vile.
Can you believe it? I always thought she was so nice. Shocked.
You should rename yourself to ToxicSimmer. Because that’s what you are.
I always got bad vibes from her. Not surprised.
Bully.
Ableist.
I heard she abuses autistic children.
Opinions are formed by bad takes, screenshots, manipulated stories, rumors, tumblr reblogs. Truth has no place here, and neither does empathy. We will tear you apart because of situations we don’t understand. We are fucking outraged.
We will accuse you of bullying others while remaining oblivious to the fact that we’re doing that very thing to you - right now.
Friends will disappear, offline. Lurking in shadows to watch your fall. Secret attempts to show support - as long as no one sees and whatever you did wasn’t toodistasteful. If things look bad, jump ship. Quickly! Before you’re mobbed too.
Three days ago, in an instant, my entire life was destroyed. Evidence of my disgusting, unforgiveable nature surfaced. Shared by people I considered friends. Absolute proof that your instincts about me were right all along.
There’s no explanation that will satisfy the mob. No apology will suffice. There’s no undoing, no understanding. When there are receipts, there’s no defense.
A few stupid remarks, flippantly typed with the expectation of privacy - they will haunt me forever. There is no escape.
Anytime my name is searched, it’s there. She bullies autistic children. She’s a monster. How does she sleep at night?
She doesn’t.
The pain gnaws like an ulcer. It consumes me.
When they look at me, they see something less than filth. I am given no room to be a human. No room to grow. No room to repent or move on.
Here is the screenshot that ruined my life and career:
I took down a minor’s selfie from my Discord server because I was annoyed with her behavior. I LOL’d when my moderator jokingly said her face was “dumb.”
I apologized then to the person involved. It was over, we healed, we moved on. But when you have a reputation, a career in the public, you can’t really ever move on.
No, every stupid thing you’ve ever said or done can resurface at any time. When the mob comes for blood, they shall have it. You must suffer the consequences of your actions - over and over again for all eternity.
Imagine you woke up one morning feeling happy, refreshed, creative, productive.
You open your email to start work and you’re met with messages urging you to kill yourself. Then you see them - the Tweets, entire subreddits and tumblr blogs dedicated to spamming some stupid thing you said in a private chat that was resolved years ago. The rumors. The lies. The assumptions.
Imagine that you are crushed under the weight.
Pleasant Sims is canceled.
When you are tried and sentenced in the court of public opinion, there is no defense.
No matter that I did a very human thing, venting about an annoyance in private. I hurt someone. I must deserve this. Actions have consequences after all. It was only a matter of time before people uncovered how vile a person I am.
Because I create content online, I’m expected to be something above human, something beyond moral. I should be a role model, perfect in every way, always nice.
Only I’m not. I’m just a flawed person who can never live up to the rigid expectations of being a “creator.”
We are all one mistake away from absolute ruin.
I suppose you have never said anything rude about someone who annoyed you in private to your friends. If you haven’t, you are a better person than me.
It was inevitable that I would leave YouTube. I’ve been tired of the spotlight and pressure for a long time. I made plans. I had an exit strategy.
But I waited too long. I was not allowed to leave on my own terms.
Now my legacy is that I bully autistic minors. It doesn’t matter that this isn’t true. This is what people will say about me. For years on end, the hate will fester there. When anyone comes looking for me, they will be met with my disgrace.
I’m deeply sorry to the person I hurt with my words. What I said was not okay. It was not excused by my frustration or the circumstances of the situation. But my intent was never to harm.
After a 17-year old girl spammed me incessantly, sending me constant messages on every platform, spamming my discord and DMs, even after being asked to stop, I was fed up. But still, I did not attack her. I did not harass her. I did not even ban her.
I made a comment to my mods that was stupid and mean, but it was not meant for her to see. I never wanted to hurt her, only to get her to stop spamming.
We found out she had autism, and decided to give her more leniency, to work with her on understanding boundaries and the rules. We didn’t have to do this, but we felt we should since she was a sweet girl who obviously had trouble understanding the expectations of being part of an online community.
But the damage was done. Someone leaked those screenshots of our earlier chat and showed them to her. They told her we were bullying her and talking about her behind her back. They hurt her to hurt me.
She left our community. I just let her go. What could I do? I didn’t want to cause her any more pain. I was ashamed of myself for saying those things in the first place.
Later, she reached out to me. My heart was broken that for all that time she thought I disliked her. I welcomed her back, apologizing for the hurt, but standing my ground that the spamming could not continue.
When she returned, we had a good relationship. She participated in the community. She stopped spamming, and we enjoyed having her there.
We healed. We moved on.
Or so I thought. You see, there’s a person out there who despises me so much that they will go to any lengths to discredit me. You may have seen their multiple Twitter and Tumblr accounts dedicated to hating me, spreading lies, half-truths, and rumors about any little thing I do.
This person has tried for years to cancel me, but they’ve had no dirt to spread. When they got their hands on these screenshots, it gave them all the ammunition they needed.
They dredged this up from the past - a matter that was resolved and atoned for long ago - to prove to the world they could take me down. And it worked. I’m canceled.
I have been accused of terrible things. I have been accused of bullying an autistic child. I would neverdo that. But some people will believe that I have. And I cannot live with knowing that opinion of me exists.
Thank you to those of you who supported me and believed in me. I appreciate you so much. (ETA: I know that my supporters FAR outweigh the people spreading hate. I love you all and your support has not gone unrecognized. You are amazing, and I’m so grateful for your understanding. It’s just that the hate became too much for me to handle.)
I am leaving the Sims community and YouTube for good. You cannot imagine the pain this causes me. My reputation cannot recover. I’ve been so traumatized and humiliated that I will never feel safe in this space again. I will cherish all the memories I made here, and I will miss those of you I called friends.
Goodbye.
I hate this for anyone. I’ve been in a similar situation, but I’m stubborn and refuse to go anywhere. I hope Cindy can come back soon! I support you and wish you the best!
When’s the last time you opened your mailbox and a love letter fell out into your hands? Now you can get one every month, from us! We’re introducing a limited new tier on Patreon: The Love Letter
The Love Letter is a monthly letter you will receive straight from our passion-plagued hands to yours. Each month, your letter will include:
Genesis Mining Great support It’s my first experience with Genesis Mining, and it’s been great so far. The helpdesk is fast and friendly and payments are made daily, so I’m happy.
Tumblr has a way of portraying d/s as waifish, doe-eyed subs at the beck and call of scary suit clad dominants who clearly have it all figured out, and it’s so disturbingly inaccurate and troublesome.
The idea that your dom is some sort of robot that is always “on” is unfair and needs addressed. They are as human as the next person and just as prone to the issues we all face daily. Just because they are the one in the position of power in your relationship doesn’t mean that they can’t have a bad day, suffer from medical issues, suffer from anxiety or depression, be having trouble sleeping, feel a little lost or just need some time alone and I find it really confusing that so many people don’t seem to understand this seemingly obvious concept.
There are endless asks bouncing around tumblr along the vein of “my dom is busy with work/with family/sick/stressed and I don’t feel they are giving me the attention I need”. And yes, sometimes this is clearly just a dom that isn’t invested in the relationship and willing to put in the work, but I think we can be too quick to jump on the idea that they’re a bad dom without considering the fact they could be a person struggling and just need some support to be able to get through this for the two of you.
Yes, when they accept your submission they are accepting responsibility for your welfare (entirely based on the dynamics of your own relationship) but that doesn’t make you, as a sub entirely lacking in responsibility and it doesn’t mean that they should neglect their own well-being to get the job done, that’s just trouble waiting to happen.
It means that you need to have a conversation about what happens when the situation arises that your dom may not be feeling themselves. Not that they are not your dom anymore or that the relationship is in any sort of danger of collapse…just that you carry on as usual and they/you can deal with what they’re going through until they’re back on track.
That they communicate their needs and you understand what you need to do to support them and that it doesn’t mean you or your needs are any less important in their world. I’m not saying that for us subs it doesn’t throw us off sometimes but it’s real life and not Tumblr d/s.
It’s basic human decency and something that needs to be talked about more openly. We speak so often about subs using their words and communicating their needs and it seems to get overlooked that doms need to not only do this too but feel like they can do it without judgement or lack of understanding.
They need to be able to feel that they can have a bad day without feeling like they’ll lose your respect.
They need to know that you’ve got them just as much as they’ve got you.
