I'm not obligated to like every deck I review.

[@Jo_-_-t.a]

Just Wow. People. IMHO you were right. Do you boo. ETA: I will not buy from the publisher because of their silence in the face of capitalism over abuse of a reviewer. It means I keep my money and for that I am grateful to you, Havana. Apart from that. I hope you are well and that you are safe.

[@SparkleDivineTarot]

Thank you. I've made the same decision about this publisher and some others as well.

[@jalisak]

People just don’t like being called out for their shittiness. You did the right thing, silence means it’s ok for people to treat others to horribly. Your voice is your only weapon/ defense, so use it. I read that "field n****" comment and I was so surprised and upset that someone would have the audacity to say such hateful things to another…that person really needs some counseling on "hurt people will hurt people". I hope, that the ones who are doing their best to send you positive energy and love, that you feel it and are able to let the ugly side of these beings just roll off you beautiful self. You offered a fanatic review of that deck, all points valid and completely made sense. If I ever create a deck, you would be my first choice for a review.

[@SparkleDivineTarot]

Thank you, I'm honored by your words.

[@PorschaWrites]

You have my support ❤ You have handled this entire disgusting ordeal with more grace and class than the deck creator or publisher deserve.

[@SparkleDivineTarot]

Thank you

[@LivDeSantos]

So sorry to hear you're still getting abuse because of that review. It was a completely balanced review and it's your job to be honest about your experience. People need to grow up ☹️ sending you lots of love and support from across the pond ❤️

[@rifflinthemind.5793]

Standing with you, your channel is great, these online harassers need to stop.

[@SparkleDivineTarot]

Thank you for your support!

[@intenebrisveritas]

I know exactly which deck your talking about because it's the ONLY time I've written a review for a deck and received strange negative responses for every month since. Mind you, I noted the positives to the deck, how much I love the art, etc etc and STILL get those responses. I've given much harsher reviews on other decks, usually due to their lack of diversity/cultural appropriation/downright misinformation, and just got crickets far as harassment goes. Whoever is behind this (we know who lbr 😒) needs to chill tf out. The deck is still pretty successful, so the harassment after the fact is disgusting. I'm sorry your receiving this response still and, personally, I really hope whoever (😒) is doing this gets it tf together or just takes a break from the community. This shit is beyond inappropriate.

[@SparkleDivineTarot]

I'm sorry you had to deal with the hate as well. It's unfortunate that this particular publisher cares more about money than they do integrity. I thought they were different.

[@tarot_esoterica_with_erin]

You did a "review" not an "ad/commercial" and I appreciate your honest reviews. I've purchased decks not everyone else has loved - I take in opinions, use my discernment and act as suits me. But i wont play with people who are rude, racist or unkind, nor do i expect anyone else to do so, so good for you. Keep your light girl. Let those people process their lessons without you. Peace love & light to you (to all) 🙏❣️ (PS im also not buying the deck because I don't like the art work nor the subject matter. Didn't need your review to reach that conclusion:-)

[@SparkleDivineTarot]

Thank you

[@aspasiarising4732]

I'm so sorry to hear this still is happening to you with that damn deck. And that "drama queen" comment is just gaslighting. Defending oneself or standing up for oneself is not creating drama -- you're reaction is not the drama. The drama is the action, not the reaction. I hope you can sage, smudge, light candles, take lavender baths . . . Ultimately this must be hurtful for you and I'm so sorry.

[@SparkleDivineTarot]

I'll be doing some serious cleaning rituals. Thank you for your words.

[@feistybutterflytarot7610]

You're allowed to like and dislike tarot decks. I saw your title and wanted to send support to you 1 reader to another. Hang in there. Im gonna subscribe to your channel. Hang in there honey.🦋

[@lucid_moons]

The harassment you're facing is inexcusable. You're entitled to express your opinion without being bullied and called horrible names...really can't believe someone would even say that. And to anyone coming for you for sharing that email publicly...stop trying to defend and protect someone who is engaging in disgusting and abusive behavior. I really appreciate honest reviews here on Tarot Tube and seek out creators that aren't afraid to express their honest opinion on decks because I like to weigh the pros and cons. Fake good reviews are just free advertising for the company/creator and that's some BS. Just because someone critiques a deck doesn't necessarily dissuade me from purchasing it. However, a creator handling themself in such a nasty will DEFINITELY dissuade me lol. I have lots of respect for you for not only standing by your opinion but for also standing up for yourself and calling out this unacceptable behavior.

[@Dracorvid]

Wow, I thought this crap had been put in the past… I can thank you for saving my money (cancelled my preorder) for a deck that I would have found unusable! Thank you for that 🙏🏼✨💖 And thank you for being you, and letting us share your journey 💖💖💖

[@SparkleDivineTarot]

Thank you ❤️

[@nicnaknoc]

Why would they expect you to love everything, that's not a review that's just a commercial they don't want to pay advertising money for. Some ppl are just toxic AF and I absolutely won't be supporting this creator.

[@SparkleDivineTarot]

Thank you

[@Patchwork_Tarot]

Good grief - I saw the email you posted and can’t believe how downright nasty it was. All because you DARED (God forbid) to give an honest review. I have no interest in fake reviews. These people need to grow up, get over themselves, and learn that not everyone has to like the same things!

[@SparkleDivineTarot]

Thank you.

[@Ethony]

You don’t have to like every deck. No one should harass you over a deck review either. Big love to you

[@SparkleDivineTarot]

Thank you

[@kirstencorby8465]

I'm sorry to hear you're still dealing with that.

[@ladymargaret713]

I am sorry you are receiving all this negativity and ugliness, you certainly do not deserve it. I appreciated your frank evaluation of the deck. Even with the negatives you pointed out about using the deck I was still considering it until I learned about how the creator attacked people who gave it honest criticism and their supporters would attack and bully those same people. I cannot support someone like that, so I've passed on it. Brightest blessings to you!

[@danithilette]

I'm so blown by all of this. That creator literally started arguing with me in my Dms. I had to block her. The disrespect that I have seen is appalling.

[@SparkleDivineTarot]

I'm sorry you had to deal with that

[@dulcemoonchild]

i feel they are attacking you to get more attention love, block those bastards and report them, they try to use you so they can get a reaction and use that for promotion for the freaking deck, sending you a big hug

[@SparkleDivineTarot]

As tempting as it is to block everyone, I want others to see how "love and light" looks when it turns dark.

[@trishachan165]

They said what !!! Omg your work has helped me find Black Decks! I love your work and keep shining ❤

[@clio7682]

I'm sorry that your dealing with this shit Havana.

[@lilpinkbear]

I'm so sorry that you have been subject to ongoing disgusting comments around this deck. Good for you for speaking out and standing up for yourself. Sending you love Havana.

[@SparkleDivineTarot]

Thank you

[@Blueheart1900]

I'm sorry that you are still dealing with this "nonsense." Sometimes, it is important to overshare. You are saving the rest of us. Sending you love and cyber hugs.

[@SparkleDivineTarot]

Thank you

[@VenusInRetroTarot]

You don’t deserve this. Sending you love and support, from one black woman creator to another ❤

[@SparkleDivineTarot]

Thank you 💖

[@serenityhutchinson9309]

You go girl!

[@clav06]

Such crap that you're still getting negativity about this. I was turned off to the deck by their words back then and I still have no interest in it now.

[@weststartarot-Liz]

Ughhhhh, Havana I’m sorry to hear that you’re still having deal with this. I respect you and your content and the fact that you do honest reviews. When it comes to reviews what’s the point of doing them if they’re not honest? I’ve seen quite a few KZbin reviewers say “I only review decks that I like.” Huh!?!? What’s the point of that? how is that helpful to the tarot buying community? I don’t watch the reviews of people who say that. I want a reviewer’s honest opinion. And let’s be real, not every person will like every deck. Sending you a virtual hug ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@SparkleDivineTarot]

Thank you

[@RootsAndWaves]

💜💕💜💕💜💕 Love you, Havana. 💜💕💜💕💜💕

[@SparkleDivineTarot]

Thank you 💞

[@myrnataylor4087]

Omg this is just such bs. I'm sorry.

[@simpleastrology2]

💪🏽👍🏽❤️

[@zinzolin14]

Sorry you're still dealing with this after several months. Just know you're doing the right thing by not feeding into their harassment and showing your stance. Only weak pathetic cowards resort to bullying instead of owning up their actions.
