Dear Sukuita fandom

Dear SukuIta Fandom,My name is Smail, and many of you know me as Cogni_Diss on AO3. I am currently at a loss on what to do with myself going forward as I am faced with such horrible, and nasty things being thrown at my friend’s zine. A zine that has been moderated with nothing but care and diligence. All because of AI accusations that have spread to multiple projects, citing work from ours that was taken from our drive and shared without consent, and treated as a black and white issue that could not be afforded any ounce of nuance.When the SukuIta zine first announced our conclusion that no ai was used on our works, we stood by that conclusion after weeks of researching, conversing, debating, and assessing with professional artists who know the exact signs to look for. Who also know how to tell if someone’s style is consistent, and thus errors can be a product of human laziness or oversight. No new evidence was brought forward to our moderation team since then. Then when we catch sight of two other zines pulling the artist in question from their projects, we only do so to avoid additional hate and scrutiny directed toward the project as a whole and those involved. Our artists within the project are coming to the moderators, telling us that they are being harassed into leaving with evidence and certainty, when such things have yet to be shown to us mods. We had not been in contact directly with those outside the zine looking in. We’ve requested them to message us, and they have not.We’ve taken every step with care. We did not want to crucify an artist on shaky or bad faith evidence. We wanted to be certain. Others who were certain in the way of demanding that AI was used were let go by way of offering an amicable out. We wished no hard feelings on these individuals. It is because of mental health deterioration that we’ve taken steps back from defending this position beyond ‘The artist is not longer here.’ Because it is simply not worth the harassment. Especially from those SukuIta Fandom Originals who appear to have a parasocial claim over this fandom and who can create within it. This comes especially true with an overlapping disdain toward top!Yuji/bottom!sukuna shippers, which is a dynamic I myself have rarely dabbled in.When I first started writing SukuIta two years ago, I’ve also experienced nothing but kindness and praise. Everyone has been accepting of my and my works, some of which grew in such popularity that I hardly believe it myself. But after these AI accusations have come to light, I and the zine I am a part of has received nothing but blistering hate for our caution and diligence. Our actions are considered vile and immoral, all for deciding to have good faith in an individual rather than denounce certainty in their guilt when evidence pointed to the contrary.Call me a bleeding heart. Call me an idiot or a fool. I can accept that just as much as I can accept that I could very well be wrong in all of this. But as of right now, I still have not seen definitive evidence to prove the accused artist was using ai. People are using her choice to leave everything behind as a sign of guilt, but let me ask you: If you were faced with unparalleled harassment across multiple projects in different fandoms, all seemingly connected by a group of people who do not want to even consider your innocence and nothing you could do can save you from that, would you stay?Why couldn’t the artist show her recording? Her layers? These are the only points that I’ve seen that I cannot dispute with certainty. This is where my own doubt settles in, but we also forget in this crusade that everyone does art differently. No two people are the same. Not everyone records themselves. Not everyone draws on 10, 20 or 100 layers. Are we, as a zine community, now forced to regulate how people create their art? Are we supposed to become an even more rigid institution than the original low stress group projects we all came from? Won’t this just alienate more people from these projects and other fandom events?I’m hurt. I’m disgusted and appalled and some of the things being said and the passive-aggressive attitudes on display. It’s childish and immature. It’s disheartening. And worst of all, it's breaking my spirit to create for this fandom. This zine, I chose to join it as a mod at my friend’s request because I wanted her love letter to the fandom to come true. I wanted to do right by her every step of the way. I wanted to find some way to avoid more delays, release a zine, use the profit to benefit our contributors for their hard work, but now, I do not have the energy or mental fortitude to go on.I am drained.I am human, after all. I have a life outside of fandom that needs my attention. A 50+ hours-a-week job to pay back school and medical debt. A father who used to be my main source of support who no longer lives with me. A mother who may be estranged and out of reach, is in and out of the hospital and constantly struggling. I can’t be there for her, but she was there for me when I was hospitalized in the ER last year. My health continues to deteriorate from stress. I do my best not to show it because I don’t want to bring everyone else down. I like my piece of the fandom to be positive and supportive, but lately, I feel sick just opening up Twitter/X or the servers I used to love being a part of.A tiny part of me wanted to simply burn everything and leave as well. The merit in that would be no more additional stress in my real life struggles, but to punish the thousands of readers who keep returning to my works time and time again… I feel like that would be cruel.As for my current works, I am unsure what I’ll write next. I have an update I was in the middle of, I might as well finish it and post it within the next few days. But writing has ALWAYS been a tool for me to cope with my life. It is supposed to be comforting, and right now, I don’t feel comforted. As for current zines and projects, I’ll do my best to support them as time goes on. I don’t know if I’ll be taking on any more in any large capacity anytime soon or ever.I do know this. I won’t be active on Twitter/X for a while. I feel drained by the mere thought of opening the app. While I’ll keep my account open and my DMs accessible to those who want to reach out, I really don’t have the energy to do much else. If I do respond to something, consider it a rarity.I’m tired. I’m always tired. I don’t know how long it will take for me to mentally recover from this. I’ve lost the will to work on things I care about the same way, and while I’m desperate to get it back, I’m unsure how to do so.I’ve never condoned harassment. I’ve never wished to put someone’s head on a chopping block. Even now, after witnessing so much hate and vitriol over this situation, I can’t help but just be sad that this is how things are nowadays.I’m sorry I couldn’t have done better. I’m sorry that I’m not a paragon of perfection or someone who can act without their pathetic heart getting in the way. I’m sorry that I finally broke after all this time.Truly, I don’t know what else I can do now aside from step back. For some of you, I can expect those words will bring a sense of victory. I hope this makes you happy and that you feel empowered and validated by your actions. But to the rest of you, know that I am grateful for all the time I’ve had within this fandom. When I write, I write thinking about all the smiling faces of those who read my works and find escapism in them. I hope you all keep well. Should I ever post an update on a story you care about, I hope you are able to catch wind of it.Take care of yourselves, everyone.
I’ll see you next time, whenever that is.Sincerely, Smail
