This is a response to another blog post. You should read it first. Note that while I agree that Aryan is very unlikable, this is a very critical review.
Holy cow, there's a lot to say about this.
I don't really know who this person is, and I'm not in the Discord server. I hold an outsider's perspective.
Firstly, I don't think this should've been posted and featured in the state that this is in currently. Most of the "evidence" isn't immediately clear to even be relevant. I had to look over everything, including some external research (which shouldn't be necessary for a piece like this), for about half an hour before I started to be able to see your illustration come together. I think you should've gathered some stronger evidence or at least given more context to a lot of the screenshots presented. In tying Aryan's aliases to him, initially (and frankly even after researching), most of the evidence presented seems to be extremely out of context.
Some quick criticisms:
- Fig. 23609 (linking @wednesday6569 to Flying-Mongoose): It should be made clear in the blog post that Mongoose owns the linked webpage.
- Fig. 23610 (linking Flying-Mongoose to blueturtle): I don't really see how this proves that the two accounts are ran by the same person. I think you're trying to say that they speak similarly, but that's very circumstantial. Different people can have similar vernacular.
- Fig. 23613 & Fig. 23614 (linking Flying-Mongoose and @wednesday6569 to Aryan): These don't add anything real to your argument. Fig. 23622 proves what you're trying to illustrate perfectly.
- Fig. 27713 (Aryan lying about CP): I think it would've been more effective to prove that Aryan did in fact upload CP, or show some record of him being caught and punished, rather than just showing that he asked you to tell DC that he didn't. As somebody who wasn't here, this is just hearsay to me.
- Fig. 27706 (linking Soup-Kun to Aryan): Homelander is from a very popular franchise, this really doesn't prove anything.
- Fig. 23608 (linking @wednesday6569 to blueturtle): Again, Homelander is from a popular franchise and is a figure used by many similarly annoying trolls.
- Fig. 27707 & Fig. 27708 (Aryan worshipping me): Why is this here? This is completely irrelevant to any point you've tried to make here, and comes off as a bit masturbatory.
On Fig. 23607, linking @wednesday6569 to blueturtle, this isn't really as damning as you think it is. Wednesday could simply just be playing along with the premise that you presented in the message that they are replying to. Fig. 27714 and Fig. 27726, while circumstantial, would've drove this point home a bit better. I don't know the population of the Discord server, but I'm sure that the boys vastly outnumber the girls. It's likely that two harassers would target the same girl if she were the most active. Harassment is against Discord TOS though, or at least I think it is. I'd advise reporting the accounts, they might get IP banned. However, considering Discord's admin team I doubt anything will actually come of it.
The whole section on Aryan speaking like SkulHedFace really just doesn't prove anything for me. Aryan really just comes off as having immature 4chan troll humor, just saying outrageous things to elicit a response from people. Again, different people can say the same things. This doesn't prove that they're the same person. I will admit that they behave rather similarly though, and the tidbit that you presented with Skul's profile on the Wayback Machine was interesting.
Irrelevant Tangent:
For starters, when the heck did Skul learn how to do CSS?
Most browsers will suggest values if you play with tags in your browser's developer tools (Ctrl+Shift+I or F12). Mozilla also keeps a very well documented database of everything WWW. I use this very often, and I recommend it to anybody looking to do any sort of web development. Most docs have a section on browser compatibility, you'll have to keep that in mind if you want your page/site to be 2DS/3DS/DSi compatible. This is less of an issue with the New 3DS/2DS. The DSi Browser is a fork off of Opera 9, and the 3DS Browser is based on NX (based on an old version of Webkit).
Tangent over.
In regards to Fig. 27018 and your personal views: Honestly, this part was completely unnecessary. You could've just listed off the views on those things that Aryan has made public, but even then I don't see anything there that would further your pedophile claim. I'm sure this wasn't your intention, but the inclusion of your personal views just makes it seem like you're trying to virtue signal. If you want to make your views known, put it on your profile. If you were trying to win support for your side of the argument, it wasn't necessary. I'm sure anybody reading the blog will hate Aryan by the end of the first few screenshots. He mega sucks.
I almost forgot to mention the elephant here: Aryan admitting to uploading pornography on *Paint, where he knows there are minors present. When he says that he did it as shock content, it's implied that he posted it for someone or some people to see it. Considering the age demographic of *Paint (which he is aware of), he likely intentionally exposed minors who were under the age of 16 to this material. I'm not a lawyer, but US Code Title 18 Ch. 71 §1470. Seems pretty clear to me. Illegal? Seems like it. Does it make him a pedophile? Not necessarily. Does being a drug dealer necessitate being a user a well? I don't know if Aryan is within US government jurisdiction, but just something I'd figured I'd point out.
I've spent more time on this than I would've liked to. To sum this up, I think this piece did a great job on illustrating Ayran as a racist jerk. However, the title isn't "Aryan is a Racist Jerk". This didn't really convince me that he's a pedophile, or anything more than an arrogant troll. Pedophile is a serious accusation, and a serious crime. There should be stronger evidence to prove such an accusation, especially when you're putting it on such a public display (which I don't think it should've been). If Aryan really is a pedophile, and there was substantial evidence of it, it should've been turned into the authorities.
Pedo? I don't think so.
A threat? Maybe.
Annoying? Most definitely.
This is to address some of the (perfectly legitimate BTW) criticism of my blog, which I have since drafted indefinitely, BTW. (At blueturtle's request too, I might add.)
This was common knowledge to community members at the time since Flying-Mongoose was actively promoting this website here on Paint back then. Also, this (like all of the older screenshots) were originally gathered as evidence to be presented to the admins, who were aware of this being Flying-Mongoose's website as well.
The link established between blueturtle and Flying-Mongoose here is actually the small image of the otter shown in the top left corner of the screenshot. Flying-Mongoose regularly posted different pictures of otters during his conversations here on Paint--including this one--and it appears here in a picture that was shared with me by Kanabun advertising something that he was working on.
It was the confirmation by @Amjam and @Mexican_man here that when Flying-Mongoose had flipped out and went racist that he did the “EXACT” same things that Aryan did that initially revealed to me that blueturtle had in fact been Aryan this entire time. Without them, I would've never been able to get Figure 23622.
[Figure 27713]
This one is, as you had suggested, very questionable to have characterized the way that I did in my blog. It is clear that a pornographic image was uploaded to Paint that (according to @HullBreach and other admins) was of an underage girl, and that the image had been uploaded by an account that had already been permabanned, so we could not see the username of the person who had uploaded it.
A number of blueturtle's usernames had pedophilic themes--one even being named “givinOutFreeCP”--but blueturtle has consistently maintained that he is innocent of this, and it seems likely that even if the image in question were in fact one of his uploads--which we obviously cannot prove anyway--that it was an honest mistake.
(The image wasn't one where it was 100% clear that the person shown in it was a minor, BTW.)
Although I did not disclose this in the blog, blueturtle--under his Soup-Kun alias--sent me this figure tag and immediately deleted it, basically as his way of identifying himself to me. Figure 27707 was actually the first message that Soup-Kun had sent me, and when he did this, he had already made it all but 100% clear that he was blueturtle anyway, TBH.
(We've been friends for over 5 years, after all.)
Also, although Homelander is a popular character from a popular franchise, he isn't particularly popular here on Paint, and he has a similar sort of strong association with blueturtle here to the strong association that Zinnia from Pokémon has with me.
(Homelander has become sort of an identity for him, in a way.)
This was more or less just to establish what I just explained regarding the previous screenshot, although most Paint members and all of the admins are already well aware of this, anyway.
You're absolutely right about these two, and pretty much the same deal with Figure 27711 and Figure 27712 as well.
This is another one that requires some context here. When he had originally posted that message, his account's display name was blueturtle, and he had (briefly) even joined “SDKcord”—the oldest and (in terms of member count) largest of the unofficial Discord servers for Paint members, which has its own long and complicated history with the community on this website—under that same name as well. There was a long gap between when he said that and when he became active on Discord again as Kanabun, and because of how Discord works, I hadn't even noticed that blueturtle's actual username—as opposed to his “display name”, which can be changed—back then was @wednesday6569.
Also worth mentioning that Figures 23607-23610, Figures 23613-23614, and Figures 23621-23622 were all originally taken as evidence to the admins to prove to them that Aryan was in fact blueturtle. This was done primarily to clear my friend @DCTheGamr of the completely baseless allegations that he was the one behind Aryan, after the idea had been suggested to the admins by someone with a strong personal bias against DCTheGamr, with the explicitly stated (by the individual in question) goal of getting DCTheGamr permabanned from Paint, in direct defiance of @HullBreach .
(There's a lot more to it than that, but the point is it was actually gathered as exculpatory evidence for DCTheGamr, long before my recent blog.)
Although I'm very active in most of the Discord communities, IDK about the demographics or anything there TBH. However, it is a proven fact that all of these people--except for SkulHedFace and all of his past alts, of course--are in fact the same person, and blueturtle himself doesn't deny this fact. (There's far more evidence to back up this assertion than was presented in my blog, as well.)
The purpose of showing my own views was essentially a disclaimer of sorts, to make it clear to anyone who might wish to defame me that the way that I speak to blueturtle in Figure 27743 and Figure 27744 is NOT indicative of my own personal views, and that I am simply trying to get through to him in a way that I think he would understand.
(I don't anyone accusing me of being a “Nazi” based on those screenshots, in other words.)
But yes, although I admittedly freaked out at first due to the r**e threats leading me to consider the possibility that he might actually be SkulHedFace--because Skul had “joked” about that sort of thing here on Paint before--I have more or less come to the same conclusions as you here. I did report him to Discord and he has already had 2 of his accounts banned, but I was hesitant to involve law enforcement due to my mixed feelings about the idea of getting an old friend of mine--who might just be a 17 year old kid--registered as a sex offender for the rest of their life. As for submitting the blog to be featured, I only did so because one of the people he had threatened before had suggested that I do so.
(I've had mixed feeling with every single step that I took here, though.)
And yes, me and blueturtle were able to salvage our friendship despite all of this, and earlier today he even apologized to some of the people who he had threatened and harassed before. (Sort of a happy ending to a crappy, messed up story, huh lol?)

In reply to Draconid_Jo
Thank you for the context and explanations! That clears quite a few things up. Also, I can understand your reasoning behind including the tidbit on your personal views. I can also understand your reasoning for not including law enforcement, but IMO if it continues to escalate I think it might be the best course of action. Especially in the case of the questionable image, whether it was CP or not, transfer of obscene material to minors under the age of 16 is still a federal crime under US jurisdiction. Ik it would feel bad to put somebody on a list for the rest of their life. But honestly, they're old enough to find and upload porn, make jokes about rape and pedo stuff, and harass random women on the Internet. They know the rule of FAFO, and this would just be the 2nd half of that.

We've tried that before. It doesn't work.
(I was basically ignoring him during the original Aryan phase back in 2024. All that did was let someone frame @DCTheGamr for Aryan's misdeeds.)
