*So Sega was the one who leaked the information to vida. And was still in contact with Toon for a month after what he did was leaked.

Sega's getting flak for this, and rightfully so. As mentioned in the Lily Peet thread, she's also becoming more chummy with Lily now, for reasons unknown. However, what makes this more disturbing and gross is that Sega is choosing to dismiss several of the issues that speaking to Toon actually implies.

There's some important tidbits about this:
1. Sega refers to the victim that helped to spark the drama as a "side girl" and overplays her own role as a victim.
2. We do not know when she last spoke to Toon in the group. I need to say this, because although Sega states the last time she spoke to him directly was in March, she could have spoken to him as part of the group more recently.
3. The FBI investigation failed because Sega and Voice didn't contact the right police department. Also, since there is no explicit content from the conversation between Pastel and Toon, nothing COULD be done anyway. It's a combination of various problems that we've hypothesized (with the leaks being early not helping anything).
4. Even if it had been a while since they last spoke, there is no reason she had to stay silent about this. In fact, it creates a miasma of doubt surrounding her character as to why she wouldn't admit this sooner. She admitted she and Lily were friends or at least buried the hatchet, why wouldn't it be important that she was speaking to the Brony community's biggest predator?

However, Sega elevating her status as a victim as well as returning to both her most recent abuser (Lily) and her previous one (Toon) puts much of her character at risk. In addition, as Keyframe notes in one of the reblogs, much of the ToonKritic fallout is a result of Sega betraying a minor's trust for her own self gain.

Vida's been white-knighting her for all of this, despite the fact that he had been accusing Josh and other members of the Brony Analysis community for what Sega did regarding her most recent conversations, except in the case of Sega, it was for a much more selfish purpose than Josh and the Brony Analysis community trying to work in silence to better get Toon locked up. Even worse, he's even admitted his hypocrisy on the matter, stating that she's entirely justified since she leaked the Toon stuff.

You know where the problem lies?
A. Sega betrayed the trust of a minor by leaking her information and chatlogs to Vida, and downplayed other victims when the MeToon situation happened.
B. Sega double downed on her victimhood in this response, as well as trying to make it seem like it was for her own good that she spoke with ToonKritic, and a chunk of the last questions were dedicated to her talking about her financial situation.
C. There were others in that chat besides Toon. We don't know if they too were pedophiles or whatever.
D. Almost right before this became public knowledge, Sega buried the hatchet with Lily, and may even be becoming friends with her. And as Brittany (thought bubble) points out, this was in spite of the fact that there was no observable change in Lily's behavior and this is on top of Lily's abusive behavior toward Sega.

In fact, from what this post showcases, everything that went wrong with the ToonKritic situation can be directly attributed to Sega, whether it be mishandling of the legal situation, whether it be the leak to Vida, whether it be the hasty and not so good responses from the community, what have you.

Giving her a pass, but blaming Josh and others would be absolutely hypocritical.
