Hey everyone, GachaBee here, and I apologize for the lack of post, been a bit busy over the summer. However, there's a reason why I'm making this post, so grab some popcorn, sit back and relax, because this is going to be a long ass post.
So, as everyone knows, I am working on a series called After Fast Forward, and in that series, it follows my oc, Faith, who is trying to be a hero, in the series, while you'll see old and new characters, it also deals with some sensitive topics. While there will be some light hearted episodes, there will be some episodes involving as I said, sensitive topics.
My Own Thoughts.
However, this is where the problem comes in, while the script is done and all I have to do is work on the episode, the issue is how the community is. It's no secret that there's kids in the community, while there are teens, like GachaDeer and I, there are still young kids in the community. And that's what I'm worried about.
My own issue with this series.
My series isn't intended for younger viewers, as I said before, it's for an older audience (teens) however, even if I put a warning at the beginning of my series, kids are still going to see it, kids aren't dumb. However, this worries me, mostly because, in the past, I've seen people in the community attack others for making series that are also for teens, which is strange since a lot of these series put warnings, however, it doesn't matter, if you make a Gacha series made for teens, then you're harrased.
But before you attack me, mind you, I am talking about a series like LoveStruck by IdaZMagic (an amazing series mind you) that isn't for younger kids. Now of course, the Gacha Community isn't perfect, most fandoms aren't, however, while there is a bad side, there's also a good side, people who make amazing artwork, edits, the list goes on.
But I'm getting off topic, back to talking about the community, now, speaking of communities, this brings me to my next issue.
Other communities/double standers?
Trigger warning for mentioning of smoking and drug/sensitive topics.
The Toca Boca community is amazing when it comes to story telling, however I've also noticed that they sometimes do very mature series/videos, smoking, drug issues, sensitive topics that don't even have warnings in them, and yet, no one calls them out on them, sure a few people here and there, however, whenever they do call them out, they are often ignored, blocked, or other people commenting "bro it isn't a big deal" however, if it's a huge issue for the Gacha Community, then why isn't it seen as a big issue in the Toca Boca community? Both of them have kids in the community, but why does it feel like one has more of a higher standard than the other?
Will I still make my series?
To make it short and simple, yes, while I will post my story to my channel, and still put warnings on my episodes if they do have sensitive topics, however, I still don't know. I have the script ready, as I said. But I don't know though.
Thank you for reading this little rant.
