Thought Too Hard About Thatcher Davis (again)

thought too hard about thatcher davis (again)

thinking about the fact that the mark heathcliff case was probably thatcher’s first big case after being promoted to lieutenant, right after he promised the people of mandela to do right by them and he instantly fails at that promise. how often do you think mark’s words about no one coming to save him, not even the police plague his mind ? how often do you think he stays up just replaying how things could’ve been different. thinking about the fact that he can’t even properly grieve ruth because if he lets himself feel all those emotions then who’s going to look out for the people ? thinking about the fact that ruth and him probably went through training together, two people who just want to help the citizens of mandela because they’ve grown up surrounded by fear not realizing the horrors that await them. how often do you think he just stares at sarah’s grief filled emails thinking if he had done something sooner this poor girl would still have her brother ? the fact he must feel so much resentment and guilt for joining a police force who refuses to help those affected by alternates.

The complete recaps of Alex Kister drama/controversies for those who constantly ask whether he is innocent or not and whether Mandela Catalogue Fetish content is or not.

(These texts you are reading come from the Fandoms Wikitubia page where there is a controversial stage by Alex Kister site. I didn't write it just so you know everything. I just copied the text and created it on a document for those who always wonder whether Alex is innocent or not. The ones that have underscore are the documents links that Ven and Alex's documents have published. I hope it helps and I hope the argument slowly stops.)

On March 12th, 2024, Twitter/X user Stirringjuice (aka Ven, an ex partner of Alex) uploaded a document against Alex Kister titled "Warning About Alex Kister". The document alleged predatory and manipulative behavior, along with accusing him of suicide baiting and abusing power dynamics with his fans. The document exposed messages of Alex's interactions with Ven, his activity in various Discord servers, and his interactions with a user who goes by the alias "DB" (another ex partner of Alex). The document heavily criticized Alex's sexual texting with Ven and DB, Alex discussing his gender with those in the servers (that included minors ranging from ages 14-17), and various interpersonal issues between Alex and his partners. Along with the initial document, various others posted statements accusing Alex of similar transgressions.

As a result of the initial document (which had gained 7 million views and 30k likes) and the other testimonies, the vast majority of the analog horror community across various platforms condemned Alex. Most of the cast and crew of the Mandela Catalogue quit and denounced Alex (with some leaking information about the show, including details about Vol. 5), various content creators spoke out against Alex, and Retro Release Video terminated their VHS release of The Mandela Catalogue whilst giving out refunds to those who ordered it. Alex, along with some of his defenders, were doxed as a result.

On March 24th, 2024, Alex Kister would post a response to the allegations on Twitter titled "My Perspective" (as well as a small response to The Mandela Catalogue being reported as "Fetish Content"). He retweeted a thread from one of his defenders alongside his statement. In the document, Alex denies the claims of being a predator and manipulator, as well of clarifying that he isn't a groomer/pedophile (accusations that were being spread around as a result of the allegations). In the document, Alex's main argument against the allegations is that his texts with Ven and DB, who are older than him, were consensual, reciprocated, and encouraged whilst also providing and respecting exits for his partners whenever they were uncomfortable. He also states that he never abused his power with fans as he never leveraged said power against them. He proved malicious intent from Ven, exposed lies and unsubstantiated claims, called out omitted context while providing additional context to the texts Ven showed, and called out hypocrisy, mismanagement, and defamation from Ven (such as accusing Alex of grooming on Tumblr despite initially saying he didn't groom anyone and later retracting that statement on Twitter). Alex also pointed out that he had no illegal or sexual activities with minors, calling Ven out for never proving said activities nor any malicious intent. In the document, despite arguing that he was not suicide baiting, as he has a history of self harm and suicidal ideation as well as the fact that his livelihood and relationships were being threatened, Alex apologizes for burdening DB and Mitcha (one of the accusers) with his suicidal ideation. He concludes by promising to not make friends with fans of his whilst also promising that The Mandela Catalogue would continue and that the story leaks were fake. He also discouraged people from harassing anyone.

The response (which has over 1 million views and 5k likes) had gained mostly positive support from those who were watching the situation unfold. Shortly after Alex posted his statement, Ven pledged to respond to the document, criticized Alex for not addressing the other accusations, thanked Alex for confirming what transpired was real, and criticized Alex for not understanding power dynamics. Ven was vastly criticized for this tweet. Some content creators issued apologies for not waiting for Alex to respond and immediately assuming he was guilty. Despite this, Alex was still criticized by some for not addressing all of the accusers and for not giving enough weight to the power dynamics between him and his fans. Alex made a follow up tweet condemning people for spreading rumors about and harassing other people. Some users had continued to dox Alex, resulting in Ven making a thread condemning the action and doxers. Alex disabled comments on his YouTube channel and deleted his Instagram posts after the doxing continued.

On April 8th, 2024, Ven issued a statement in which they said their intent was to no longer prolong the drama. They apologized for poorly wording and formatting the document, transphobic rhetoric in their document, including irrelevant and personal details about Alex, betraying him, influencing others, and turning his friends against him. They promised to delete their Twitter and did so the next day.

Many people came out in support of Alex whilst heavily criticizing Ven for false allegations. The cast and crew who had posted public statements against Alex have since deleted them, with some apologizing to Alex for their reactions. After Ven deleted their document, Alex deleted nearly all of his tweets (with the exception of his statement and a meme about The Mandela Catalogue).

How TMC Characters would react to their fanbase

The favoritism is vv obvious. Pls no one get offended<3

Mark- Confused. Makes him more paranoid. Doesn't understand why people are calling him "Thatcher's son"

Cesar- Absolutely not. Confused why a bunch of people are swooning for him, especially when he got like no screen time

Sarah- Would like them, think they're cool. Also may cyberbully Thatcher's fans cause yeah

Eve- Confused but accept it, also think they're cool. Also may stalk Adam's fanbase cause yeah

Dave- Likes them. Think they're silly. Yall are sending memes to each other now

Thatcher- Confused. Feels like he doesn't deserve all the attention/praise. Also confused why a bunch of strangers are calling him 'babygirl'. Think being called Adam's dad is funny.

Ruth- Love them. Absolutely love them. The few Ruth fans out there and her would start a cult.

Adam- There's two types of fans for this bitch- the ones that ship him with Jonah and the ones that overanalyze him.(/lh) You tell me how he'd react.

Alt.Gabe- The amount of xreader fics out there is enough to take him down. Congratulations. You slayed the beast./lh
