pup appreciation post- i love you,
@Pup_Kylo
thank you for being my love and light in a world that needs more of that. can’t wait to conquer the world with you. Awruff!
the only thing i despise about being a pup is now…
well, now im ONLY into pups…
& the dating pool is SMALL…
& half of them are undiagnosed flavors of neurospicy…
like, I SWEAR to god a 10 could be flirting with me, but. Oh? He doesn’t have a pup hood? Not interested 💀
The PHX pup community has truly become something atrocious. The amount of abusers / groomers / people enabling this kind of behavior is absolutely bonkers. I can think of at least 6 abusers who are still allowed into the community… four of which are in positions of power.
Girl, you put a target on yourself when you decided to be an ab*ser. Don’t be mistaken. I’m aware you’re enjoying your life, which is why I called you out. Why is it that you get to enjoy it while the people you’ve abused continue to suffer in silence? 🤡
I have nothing to offer but SHAME for the direction the phoenix pup community has moved.
Shame on all of you for enabling an abusive environment.
Shame on you for not believing victims.
Yes. Watching abuse happen is complacency. You are complicit.
Shame on you.
And for those of you wondering why I’m not calling out people directly, it’s because I was threatened with LEGAL ACTION by some of these people for speaking out.
It’s why I’ve remained mostly silent and off the scene for so long.
I was literally not allowed in.
It’s NOT. A. RITE. OF. PASSAGE. FOR. YOUNG. GAY. MEN. TO. BE. ABUSED.
I’m sorry if you were abused when you were younger.. then yall, out of ALL PEOPLE, should understand how we feel.
You’ve become what you hated. How do you feel?
It’s crazy to me, the amount of younger pups who have told me how they’ve been abused, and at the same time, tell me how so many older members of this community DON’T BELIEVE THEM, and even worse, VICTIM BLAME THEM.
We need to BE. BETTER.

We must hold abusers accountable for their actions, give them an opportunity to grow, and if they don’t… NOT ENABLING THEM ANYMORE!
And, finally, we have to start BELIEVING VICTIMS.
I wasn’t strong enough then…
I am now.
If we want to do better by victims, by ourselves, by this community, then we must stop turning a blind eye to predatory, abusive behavior.
But the truth is, the issue does not lie within one individual in this community… It lies within each one of us for enabling this behavior, myself included. I wish I came out against these individuals earlier. I had concerns as early as July 2023, and I remained silent.
I’ve heard from several people that the reason they don’t get involved is because “they still want to be a part of the community” and “dont want to be kicked out”
HOW DO YOU THINK THE VICTIMS FEEL?
Or do you just not care about the victims cause we ruin your fun.
and the craziest thing to me about all of it- is when these abusers are called out- and EVERYONE knows who these people are- people still don’t hold them accountable.

my ass.
