Made a silly little paper Skizz doll, and he’s ADJUSTABLE!

[bubba-the-rebear]

I liked the red rabbits mcc because you would see feinberg in the others pov and he seemed so calm and collected.

Then I watched his pov and he was STRESSING, like crashing out between every game.

I am saying this with my whole ass chest.

Creators do not get to dictate how their fandoms work.

Ever.

For good or ill, for ship or trope, they do not get to make those calls.

They can request they not be pinged in art, in fic, that they not be asked about it and yes that is 100% an understandable course of action. No creator should feel they have to engage with the transformative parts of their fandom at risk of being exposed to material they find uncomfortable.

It never used to be a fucking problem, because the rule was 'keep your goddamn mouth shut'. It was in fact so penultimate a rule that its BREAKING exposes a villain in a Dungeon Crawler Carl book. You have stuff you make for you and your people and stuff you make for the creator you love and those are two separate boxes.

But somewhere along the way the sacred 'do not cross' line was crossed, because digital creators were more accessible, because questions could be asked and headcanons confirmed or denied and it has ruined everything.

It has not been a net gain for either creators or fandoms. Consider what happened to Voltron- cut short after actual death threats over shipping. Consider the abrupt (if poetic and well done) ending of the Amazing Digital Circus. Hell look at the marvel movies, whole swaths rewritten because the creators were watching the fandom too close and panicked over their plot points being exposed, resulting in shittier and shittier illogical choices that have made the entire franchise feel like beige homework.

You do not get to look at people who love what you have made and say 'it will be this way because that is what makes me feel comfortable' and expect it to go that way. That isn't how this works. It's not how it ever worked.

I have a headcannon that Grian wants Jim gone so bad because he’s jealous jimmy’s able to define his fate and he can’t.

Like it’s no fair jimmy gets to break his canary curse but he still can’t get boogie >:[

[bubba-the-rebear]

It’s funny how in past life, most of the server think the villies are like super cunning and dangerous. And then you watch the villies pov and they are literally just digging a giant hole.

Umm so... Not what I usually post. I doubt many people will see this (curse you algorithm!) But I've been hyper fixating on Greek mythology and so I drew Artemis :D (Read tags for more info)

HERMITCRAFT X EPIC

Aka I already loved Greek mythology and my friend told me what epic was-

Ody: Joel

Penelope: Lizzie

Hermes: Grian

Athena: Gem

Apollo: Oli

Aphrodite: Scar

Circes: Etho

Polites: Jimmy

Zeus: Doc

Posiden: Martyn

Hera: Cleo

Ares: Pearl

Eurylochus: Bdubs

Prophet: BigB

Hephaestus: Impulse

Aeoles: Skizz

Telemachus: Herms (Joel and sausage love child)

Polyphemus: Cheri fire :3

Sylla: Scott

Winnons: pesky birds and Tanuki

I’m not going to do calypso or Antonious because non of the lifers/hermits are like that and it doesn’t seem appropriate.

since the old version of this post was flagged for ‘adult content’…

reblog this post if your account is a trans safe space or owned by a trans person!

along with that, reblog if your account is a non-binary spectrum safe space or owned by someone on the nb spectrum!

[enkays-den]

An anonymous trans donator asked skizz if he'd say a "trans rights" for pride month and he softly shut it down saying "this channel about good times good vibes, and not anything political. I've got nothing against anything, I've driven that home."

I know it's parasocial to be disappointed that a man in his mid 40s considers queer rights a political topic and it doesn't mean I won't watch him but,,,,, I couldn't help but feel my heart sink a little as that played out live. Skizz says he wants to bring happiness, and joy, and that's literally all this person wanted. A firm, no room for doubt affirmation that Skizz sees and cares for his trans fans. I don't think he's transphobic, but I do think he has a misconception about why saying "trans rights" matters, and why it SHOULDNT be political. Pride month exists for the same reason there's a women's month, and a black history month, and a Juneteenth, and a Veteran's Day. We are lucky to be alive, and we're still fighting for our rights to this day, so we need times to just celebrate our continued existence.

And like,,,, I'm sure that he's heard a lot online but the discussion on trans rights is only political because basic human rights are being denied to trans people for no reason other than bigotry. We want basic human rights for all, for trans people, gay people, disabled people, people of color. We want the standard of care the government and its services and the businesses of our country to be better, more accessible, and affordable for EVERYONE, regardless of gender, race, political belief, religion. The fact that THAT desire is a political matter is because politicians keep denying it.

There were also members of his chat that subtlety ragged on the anonymous donator, saying it was "weird" and "cringe". I have no words for them.

I know Hermitcraft is supposed to be a safe space, and a place to get away from the world's problems, but so you know what is counteractive to that? Bigotry. Transphobia. There are so many young queer fans of hermitcraft, and to say that their existence, this one little piece of affirmation isn't allowed, is insulting and disheartening. Good vibes isn't all free speech and being neutral, it's explicitly saying "you are safe here. I see that you are in danger and you are safe."

I will also leave this video here because I think it's important to be firm about keeping bigotry out of your community, regardless if it means you get less viewers or are seen as "political"

[enkays-den]

okay, I've left this comment on Skizz's VOD

Feel free to like or comment, but BE NICE. Don't demand action, just pipe up if you feel the same way or you have something else to add. I don't want this to blow up into something it's not.

[enkays-den]

my final word for today on this

I'm glad to see so many people sympathize with my thoughts

another reason i felt uncomfy was with skizz being in near-regular compant of explicitely queer friends like gem, scott. lizzie and cleo, to try and say that trans rights are too political just added salt to the wound

if skizz doesn't change his actions, don't worry about it. there's other queer streamers ON hermitcraft, and so many more in their friend circle. if you want explicitly queer content, it's right there for the taking. Whether you let this sour your opinion on skizz is up to you, but at the very least, try and emulate the gentle approach when talking about stuff like this.

Cancelling content creators over a VERY SMALL interaction like this is never the way to go. Say your point of view, be gentle, and if they they don't want to listen to you, feel free to take your voice and bring your lovely, queer self to a place that will appreciate you. It's their loss, not yours.

(hopefully) Final Update! Skizz supports trans rights!

I will let Skizz speak for himself, because he did it pretty dang well, with some highlights courtesy of me

"Hello all, just gonna drop this right here. I wish to clear up some churn over this stream that was just starting to spin a bit out of control, and quickly at that. Simply put, I was feeling really happy and good with the vibes of the stream (As I most often do), and failed to vet a dono msg prior to instantly reading it out loud. The message was centered on my support of the LGBTQ community and more over requesting I explicitly state aloud “Trans Rights”. My response was instant and not totally well thought out. While I do think that there is an unfortunate political dynamic to the LGBTQ community, the word I was actually trying to conjure up was “polarizing”. The reason I’d rather not delve into said polarizing topics is because of what inevitably comes from it. There were several comment threads of people going back and forth at each other over this. Much of which was cordial, some not so much, and all of it not fitting for the comment section of one of my stream VODs. I’ve removed them all because it’s just not the place for it. Obviously I believe in trans rights as we’re all people, every one of us. I just don’t fancy, and never will, being told what to say. It’s not lost on me how stubborn I can be. 😊 There was actually some talk that I’m open to harnessing hate in my community. Not sure where I slipped up to give that impression so let me be crystal clear; hate is not tolerated here and never has been. It literally means nothing to me what one’s take is on any matter. I could agree whole heartedly but if the position is delivered in a fashion designed to cause pain, discomfort or divisiveness on any level, then please take that somewhere else. This is indeed intended to be a safe space. So to that end, if you want to hang out where the vibes are real and the good times continue to roll, well then I’m looking forward to seeing you at the next stream. If you’d rather be a part of the seemingly endless game of disposition ping-pong, I completely respect that but politely request you all meet at another forum to do so. Now genuinely…..genuinely…..be good, be good to each other, and I’ll see you soon."

So all in all, about what I expected, with two notes:

There was some discussion in the youtube comments saying anon shouldn't have paid Skizz to say 'trans rights', and that is fair. SHOULDN'T is a strong word, as Skizz is notoriously bad at reading his chat and this person clearly wanted to be heard and validated. Either way, try not to use donations to coerce content creators to say things like a damn puppet! Not even Joe!

Don't take his attitude of "disposition ping-pong" to heart

Thank you for being kind in the comments. There were a few people that were getting a little spicy in the approach, but I'll choose to believe that those people did not come from my post. Skizz was not actively encouraging hate with his words, but he also didn't acknowledge the harm that inaction can do.

Keep your tone calm and your points reasonable, be resolute in your feelings, and know that you can only state your feelings, not force action. That is the way to keeping these sorts of discussions calm.

If this is all a devastating ordeal, please take this as hopefully the hardest lesson that the content creators themselves are not the safe space: it's the people in that safe space. If Skizz doesn't want to say "trans rights", find people that will scream it for you. Fandoms and cc's will rise and fall, but friendships and bonds can last FAR beyond that. THAT is your home. Your blorbo is simply the 30 posters you glue to the wall.

This is hopefully my final update as Skizz spoke concisely and without any places to hide. DO NOT BLOW THIS UP. I gave him explicit permission to delete my comment because I knew he would have to, and I hold no grudge against him for it. I am happy with his answer. I still love him as a content creator just as much as I did yesterday morning. I'll wish him the happiest of birthdays on Saturday. Rest easy knowing that you have your answer, one way or another

And for those of you that need it:

[bubba-the-rebear]
