GOSSE HAS SPOKEN UP

while i think it was obvious from the beginning that goose herself wasn’t racist/never condoned racism, DO NOT TRY FORCE BLACK PPL TO FORGIVE HER EITHER.

black ppl are not obligated to forgive and still have a right to feel upset

AND

digging up old tweets and using her supposed drill fetish as “proof” that in this current day goose is a racist nazi who supports incest and pedophilia along with blaming her for the actions of the VAs(who’ve also addressed what they’ve done),

saying that goose “did this for a publicity stunt” or “didn’t apologize/take accountability”and comparing her to the klan over old tweets that she most likely no longer stands by and has grown from despite actively condemning the racist weirdos in the fanbase who’re saying racist shit in the name of them is hella counterproductive and regressive,

ARE 2 THINGS THAT CAN COEXIST AT ONCE

also this isn’t the first time goose has said stuff like this in regards to racism either. she tweeted this in 2020 during the resurgence of the BLM movement.

Micheal kovach has retweeted glitch’s latest response involving an incident of a grifter called plainrock who took advantage of the “nega” controversy and antagonizing said fans at lvl up expo with as “ragebait”

like I’ve said multiple times before, black ppl aren’t obligated to forgive him, but i think it’s safe to say that Micheal doesn’t stand by the stuff he’s done in the past along with NOT treating this situation as a “nothingburger”

“raggedyjax as a black woman do you care about the Micheal Kovach controversy?”

You mean laughing at one distasteful joke that Ashley (not even Micheal btw) made 7 years ago? I mean I get why people could be offended over it but be so fr. It was one joke that was made 7 years ago. People are acting like they’ve been consistently racist for the past 7 years. Although the controversy mainly stems from Twitter so I’m not even surprised. Save your energy for people that are actually problematic. Why are we targeting someone that has already apologized and taken accountability?

Cancel culture in the end doesn’t really benefit anyone because actual problematic people aren’t affected by it and people that should arguably have that platform get de-platformed even after taking accountability and growing. If we don’t let anyone take accountability and acknowledge that they’ve have grown and changed into a better person what good are we really doing?

Obviously I don’t speak for the community, and other people might disagree with me and that’s fine. Other people also have takes that are more eloquently worded as well, this is me just quickly writing them down.

Anyways that’s my two cents. I have more thoughts but I’m capping it there.

strawberryraviegutz

as a black person i think both things can be true at once. i don’t think ppl should be labeling someone racist over something they did 7+ years ago if they have changed.

HOWEVER ppl calling this a “nothingburger” or saying that “there is nothing to apologize for” are so out of touch. even if what they were saying wasn’t actually the n word they were still joking about it sounding like the n word which is extremely harmful towards us for obvious reasons.

now obviously black ppl are not a monolith and im not the only black person who feels the same so don’t ONLY LISTEN TO ME ABOUT THIS cuz other black ppl who are hurt shouldn’t be forced to forgive.

i don’t think that Micheal or anyone else involved in that clip are racist in this current day, especially if they have done things that have shown growth online or offline. i think that it’s good that Micheal addressed this properly and apologized.

like i said already i don’t think we should label someone as bigoted for something they have done years ago when they aren’t actively like that now in the current day and have changed, however that doesn’t mean that we should tell ppl who’re rightfully hurt to “calm down” or whatever.

we should definitely still hold ppl accountable when they make insensitive jokes like this.

it’s also hella weird that yall are now making jokes about Jax saying the n word or implying that he’d be racist…yeah no one was saying the actual n word but like…i thought we were supposed to be taking this situation seriously???

I think a majority of what can be said about the Micheal Kovach/Ashley situation HAS been said, but I find it extremely disappointing hearing the opinions of nonblack individuals get more attention than the opinions of the affected group on other websites. I am a black person, and felt like speaking up about this since I have a lot of TADC followers and primarily post about TADC, and I think the current state of fandom culture as a whole is too forgiving of racism.

Micheal and Ashley are - and, 7 years ago, were - adults. I hate when old stuff is dug up as much as the next person but if something like this is simply swept under the rug it does more damage if its overlooked than if its ignored. The argument that this isn't "that deep" because it was years ago means nothing here; Both VAs should know better than to make shitty, tasteless edgy jokes on a livestream no less when they're both ADULTS. Microaggressive humour like this is not only unoriginal and unfunny, but allows for larger hateful acts to occur. I do not think Micheal and Ashley are racist but they have extremely large fanbases now and they risk fostering a subcommunity of actual racists if they are careless with what they say. Ultimately, they should've both kept their mouths shut.

Their individual apologies were good too. They were simple and addressed their behaviour, and they agreed to keep the VOD up so they can't hide from accountability. I genuinely appreciate their transparency. Despite this, black fans of these creators are entitled to feel however they wish about the jokes they made. I do not care what a nonblack fan of these two think regarding that matter. If you are black and you are upset at these two creators for their actions, that is completely fine. Personally, I am neither forgiving nor resentful of their actions; this sort of thing is unfortunately so common I have grown numb to even hearing it, and I cannot feel anything but disappointment when situations like this occur. However, I am obviously very disappointed and felt uncomfortable watching the clips; Me being slightly numb to this doesn't make it any less of an issue. There is nothing funny about the n-word. White people have no reason to be joking about it. I may be a minority myself but I wouldn't dare use words meant to harm other minority groups I am not a part of for my own enjoyment. It's pointless, and honestly most edgelords aren't even good at what they do and are extremely unfunny.

Fandom spaces are predominately queer, yes, but the same cannot be said for how accepting of different cultures they are. Admittedly the reaction to both Micheal and Ashley's apologies were more infuriating than their actions to me. People are so willing to sweep everything under the rug for their own safety. The idea of their favourite voice actors being "problematic" is terrifying to them - its such a parasocial mindset. I don't give a fuck about their contributions right now, there's a larger issue at hand. I don't know Micheal and Ashley, and I don't care to - I enjoy their voices in TADC and other proj3cts but they simply make content for me to enjoy. I am not their friends, and YOU aren't either. It's extremely privileged to only care about the integrity of their roles as Jax and Zooble right now and it's pretty easy to have basic empathy for black TADC fans by just admitting that the VAs' apologies are not YOUR apologies to accept or deny, and listening to the group affected. Your witty two cents isn't always wanted.

If you genuinely think this situation isn't a big deal, and are silently hoping it'll dissipate and people will forget so you can feel good about yourself interacting with Digital Circus content -- Fuck you. You're a part of what makes fandoms so unsafe and unwelcoming for people of colour. The sad part about this is there are definitely people who don't care if black people have it harder in the fanbase but I am choosing to ignore them because it's hard to change the minds of racists. Please feel free to unfollow and/or block me if you actually care more about these two fully grown adults' reputations than how black people feel. Noone wants you here.

Please do not think you don't belong in a community if you are a person of colour. These online spaces are extremely white at the moment but they are YOUR spaces as much as they are anyone else's. Noone should be able to tell minorities how to feel about an issue relating to them.

I don’t really like to publicly talk about fandom stuff like this very often, but seeing as I am Black, and after seeing some people’s reactions to the whole situation with Micheal Kovach and Ashley Nichols, I feel at least a little compelled to add my two cents to the whole situation

Let me preface this by saying that I am absolutely not a representative of every Black person in the fandom. I’m just one guy with an opinion on this, and me having a different view on this compared to another Black person shouldn’t invalidate their opinion, nor does their opinion invalidate mine.

Anyways…

yeah, the whole “Nega sounds like the n-word” joke was indeed not that funny. It was a pretty lame joke and probably not one white people should be making all willy nilly, but it’s honestly pretty tame compared to other edgy jokes? Like, this isn’t even the first “Nega sounds like the n-word” joke I’ve ever seen, and I don’t see people getting up in arms over Eggman Nega or whatever. Honestly the clip was more second-hand embarrassing for me to watch than actively upsetting.

I think Micheal and Ashley’s apologies were both serviceable enough, obviously it doesn’t absolve them, but it does seem like they’ve grown and changed and aren’t making racist jokes anymore. I can’t say for sure because I don’t really pay that much attention to what they get up to outside of TADC, but like, they seem normal to me.

I think ultimately, it’s up to you personally if this whole thing makes you not want to support or engage with the show anymore, and I’d understand either way. Black people absolutely have every right to be upset by this, and if they don’t feel good about engaging with TADC anymore, that’s completely fine, and they’re allowed to do what they want. Similarly, if someone does still want to watch the show, that’s completely fine as well. Just don’t harass anyone over what they decide to do (And also don’t harass the VAs or anyone else who works on the show, you can criticize people’s actions while being normal about it)

I am a bit concerned about how intense some people are getting about the whole thing though, some of y’all are saying some crazy shit over this

I won’t go into specifics, but sheesh, some of it is kind of embarrassing…

Like I said, you are allowed to be upset by this, especially if you are Black, but some of the reactions I’ve seen over this just scream “chronically online” to me

There are more serious things going on than “two white voice actors made a tasteless joke in a Jackbox livestream 7 years ago.” Like objectively, there are more serious things to be mad at than this, at some point you are just kind of wasting your energy

Overall, just do whatever you feel is right for this situation, you are allowed to feel upset by this, but also don’t harass people over it. Be civil, please.

I find it weird that the Hunicast Jackbox slur clips are only just now circulating because

**A DONATION IS NOT A GUARANTEE TO HAVE YOUR REQUEST READ**Support the stream! https://streamlabs.com/ashleynicholsart1http://games.jackbox.

That’s the ENTIRE stream it’s from. On Ashley’s channel. Been there since the day it happened. Sitting there for people to find and watch back, for people to clip.

I’m going to say something; them saying that word was INTENTIONAL. That is The Word, poorly disguised as something else.

But I think it’s stupid that it’s only just now getting called out now that TADC is about to wrap up.

maybe I was just in the wrong circles in 2019, but I didn’t hear anything back then, didn’t hear anything for seven years. Surely whoever clipped that wasn’t the first one to think “huh. That’s Weird.” in the last seven years.

This 100% should’ve been called out sooner, either when it happened, or when Michael was announced for Lackadaisy back when its pilot came out, because looking at it now makes it look like people are trying to tear down something at its end, and while holding these people accountable is absolutely important, and I believe this should still happen despite the timing of it, it’s still just like? Why now?

tldr: I think the timing of this is weird because the stream has been up all this time, but they should still be held accountable now.

i already made a post about how while i don’t think ppl should label others as being a terrible person over something that they did 8 years ago if they have changed, ppl still are allowed to not forgive them and or be upset.

but i also am starting to think that the timing of this entire situation feels kinda off. the timing of this entire situation feels way too suspicious with the leading up to the finale and everything. and with ppl making posts only for engagement farming, harassment towards the VAs and creator, jokes about how jax would be canonically racist, ect. im starting to think that the original intent behind whoever dug up these 8 year old clips was never actually about accountability.

obviously racism does need to be talked about and called out and ppl have every right to be hurt. but if it’s true that the original intent of whoever dug this up wasn’t out of the goodness of their heart and or not actually caring about black ppl then that would make the original intent of the person who did all this racist too.

they’re essentially using black ppl’s trauma as a tool to bring down a creator they personally don’t like over making a “cringe” cartoon and hat possibility makes me absolutely sick because ive seen this stuff happen before

You know I didn't even process this. You're completely right. I mean, I kind of had the feeling something of this nature would happen but it was always a super "what if" pipe thought because the idea of trying to ruin the reputation of the TADC cast before the show ends is so malicious. I said that caring ab the VAs' reputations over the suffering of black people in fandom is stupid in my original post but honestly I feel like whoever dug this stuff up also only cares about smearing them. This whole situation is just so maliciously charged - our suffering within fandoms is being overblown as "THOSE fans can't take jokes/think everythings that deep" or "Internet problems...sigh...y'all ran out of shit to cry about" as if black TADC fans are the ones overblowing this.

OKAYYYYY DUE TO RECENT EVENTS OF SOME CHUD GOING UP TO THE GLITCH BOTH AT LVL UP EXPO AND USING THE “NEGA” JOKE WHICH HAS RESULTED IN PPL BLAMING GOOSE, THE VAS, AND GLITCH AS A WHOLE FOR THIS, IM HERE TO SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT AFTER LOOKING INTO WHO THIS GUY IS.

Caine’s VA actually spoke up about this issue on bsky after someone let him know about what had happened which is awesome!

i didn’t even know who this guy was at all until today. so apparently this guy isn’t even a tadc fan at all to begin with.

he’s some YouTuber guy called plainrock who’s known for “ragebaiting” ppl by harassing others and saying inflammatory stuff in public as his “content” ever since the 2010s. he uses racism, transphobia, ect. as his content for shock value to purposefully upset ppl and using the “ragebaiting” as an excuse for his behavior.

he also uses generative ai in his content and when his fans called him out on it, he just laughed at them and used the “u fell for the ragebait lol” excuse.

this guy was basically an outsider looking in and took advantage of the controversy for clout, adding gallons of fuel to an already raging inferno and making this 10000x worse.

yet another instance of a non black influencer using racism/the racial trauma of black ppl for clout as per usual…

bigfatbreak

what if Caine didn't reset the characters from their personal hells

Jax: can't talk so good but can talk, is very itchy. Kinger's cape isn't his skin, after all. they stitched him up using string from Pomni's hat Pomni: fucked up but surprisingly in good spirits, has a pretty high pain threshold. mostly wants to nap. her body is like noodles below her Ragatha: is actually kinda happy, in a weird way! this is the first time in her life people she trusts collectively got together to help her recover from being hurt. her hair-bow keeps Kinger's cape from falling off, keeping her stuffing inside (they ran out of spare Pomni-string to keep sewing her up) Gangle: is more upset than she looks, but is kinda pleased that Zooble has dedicated one hand to holding her mask together at all times. friendship <3 Kinger: he's fine. doesn't mind being nakey Zooble: STRESSED TH EFUCK OUT
