TheDarkEricDraven is either a very persistent troll or a self-professed "proud pedophile" in the otherkin community, claiming to be attracted to six to twelve year olds.[1] He has been particularly active on tumblr and dreamwidth, and has attracted significant negative attention to the community from non-otherkin sources.

Controversy

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."[2] This fact was made public on both tumblr and AnOtherWiki, resulting in the temporary ban of those reporting on this subject[3],[4] but ultimately resulting in Draven himself being banned.[5] Zinergie has since posted a public response to the controversy, denying that their system or anyone at OtherkinSight ever has or will support pedophilia.[6]

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."[7]

Support

Draven has found significant support from otherkin on tumblr[8], with prominent otherkin Tsu, also known as Swanblood calling pedophilia a sexual orientation, comparable to being gay or bi[9], referring to Draven's treatment as "bullying"[10], and stating outright, "I support the pedophile."[11]

Draven has also found significant support from the moderators and staff of Feral Nature, which is the only otherkin forum he is known to still be active on, under the name ApocalypseMaiden.[12] This support has extended to changing some areas of the site from publicly visible to members-only after his presence on the forum became public knowledge.[13]

Therapy Claims

Draven has expressed, multiple times, that he will seek therapy for his pedophilia.[6][14] As of December 4, 2012 his posts indicate that he still has not done so and has "not talked to many therapists" since he was fourteen.[15]
