TheDarkEricDraven is either a very persistent troll or a self-professed "proud pedophile" in the otherkin community. He has been particularly active on tumblr and dreamwidth, and has attracted significant negative attention to the community from non-otherkin sources.
Despite being banned from multiple otherkin forums and chats, Draven remained active on Otherkinsight Forums where Zinergie, a global moderator, declared he had a right to vent and get support because "we are all a big family here so you should get it. No arguments."[1] This fact was made public on both tumblr and AnOtherWiki, resulting in the temporary ban of those reporting on this subject[2],[3] but ultimately resulting in Draven himself being banned.[4] Zinergie has since posted a public response to the controversy, denying that their system or anyone at OtherkinSight ever has or will support pedophilia.[5]
On August 15, 2012, Draven was banned from the Otherin Dreamwidth community by its moderator DragonWolf, who stated, "I chose to honor the community's wishes, because I felt that not doing so would bring more harm to it by introducing tension and drama. I don't, however, like the decision I had to make, because I do feel that, by turning him away, I'm only increasing his chances of actually doing something illegal."[6]
Draven has found significant support from otherkin on tumblr[7], with prominent otherkin Tsu, also known as Swanblood calling pedophilia a sexual orientation, comparable to being gay or bi[8], referring to Draven's treatment as "bullying"[9], and stating outright, "I support the pedophile."[10]
