(tw!!!) call for anecdotes involving soren hayes/shyfawn/fawnsyndrome/abuseangel/hurtc0re/etc

hello everyone! i havent posted in ages bc i was a golden age of tumblr type of gal, but i’ve been poking around at a story that’s been messing with me for a while...soren hayes/sora, aka hurtc0re, traumac0re, a lot of traumacore blogs w diff urls and bambi/deer/sora stuff in the name...the general narrative of how they lied abt being trafficked has been outlined by callout blogs and etc, BUT i distinctly remember some of my old mutuals either knew them or knew their friends. like gary, i think they had bats in the url (edit: inkbats)? they were soren’s friend, and if i recall, other MCR adjacent people had experiences with him/him masquerading as ‘sam’. im trying to script a video abt the harm they did and the scam they pulled, but i know my presence in the mcr fandom 2012-2016 constitutes a unique perspective, or at least allows me to access information that lies outside of the more common avenues for finding information. so if you personally interacted with soren hayes, as friend, acquaintance, skeptic, foe, please feel free to leave me an ask or a private message, i’d love to hear from you! thank you!
