Enough is enough. It’s time to do something.
Do you watch Call Me Kevin? Do you consider yourself part of the community or considering joining? Do you currently use Reddit or are open to using it?
If you answered yes to any of these then please consider reading further. We could possibly use your help with something.
Hi, I’m SnowfallWarning, aka Big Jimbo, and I’ve been an active artist in the CMK community for a few years now with my main place being the community subreddit, r/CallMeKevin. For a while I’ve been noticing a rise of toxic users and things were taken too far when I would be called a pedophile over a fursuit. That incident scared off many people, including me for a while. But I’m wanting to come back and try to make things better, but I can’t do it alone. Which is why I’ve organized this:
The totally-a-coincidence-that-a-bunch-of-people-start-posting-on-that-subreddit! I was told by the mods we can’t call it a raid at all or imply it is one otherwise the automod will delete everyone’s posts.
And yes I did get permission to do this but only on one condition, which I’ll explain shortly.
Basically I’m just organizing people to all start sharing more positive and creative stuff on the subreddit in hopes of reviving it and outnumbering the bad users, similar to the Jacksepticeye subreddit.
No need to ask or anything, just follow the rules and you’ll be fine. Though you do need a Reddit account.
It starts December 28 and goes for as long as needed. You do not need to be ready on that day, you may participate whenever.
The themes are positivity, creativity and cringe culture. Basically, anything wholesome (whether it be nice or aggressive and/or dark) that you created will work. The cringe culture theme is optional, but I’m encouraging things like crossovers, AUs, fanfics and fan-made fursonas with that. Y’know, regular fandom things. Cringe culture is rooted in ableism and really needs to be left in 2017. Once you accept that you’re cringe you can truly be free.
Please follow these otherwise I’ll also be in trouble too. It’s the one condition I was given for this to be able to happen. These rules can also be found on the subreddit.
Posts must be related to CMK in some way.
Posts and comments must follow the site-wide rules.
No spamming or advertising.
No rehosts of old channel content.
No photos of comment threads of CMK fans in the wild. Kevin isn’t an obscure Youtuber (unless you live in Canada).
Those were the subreddit rules, now these are ones I’ve added that participants will also have to follow:
Posts must fit the theme in some way. I intentionally made it vague so almost anything could fit.
You need a Reddit account. You may make a throwaway for this. You can still post your stuff off-site too.
No breaking boundaries. Don’t make something that’ll make others uncomfortable.
No more than one post per day. We aren’t here to spam.
Do not call it a raid. The automod will take you down if you do.
Your post should be approved by me, though it is optional. I’m just another level of quality control, if it can get through me it’ll get through the submission list too.
Your post must be something you made.
If you’re experiencing issues do not harass the mods.
Only report comments if they’re taking things too far.
Now some things that are non-requirements:
You do not need to be an artist to join. Memes and appreciation posts will work as well. Moral support is also good too.
Your post doesn’t need to be a drawing either. Any form is art is allowed, just as long as you either made/edited it and put effort into it. Though if you’re doing edits please get permission if you use other people’s artwork.
You don’t need to be ready on December 28th, that’s just the starting date. No pressure.
You also don’t need to continue participating if you don’t wish. You can post once and be done.
If you’ve never posted to r/CallMeKevin before your post will have to be manually approved first. This process may take a while because sometimes posts get missed in the spam posts. If you’re concerned your post might’ve been missed then do not hesitate to contact the mods with a link to your submission. It happens. Once your post is approved you are able to post freely on the subreddit.
Subreddit got bad, I have plan to change that by encouraging people to use it more frequently in hopes of outnumbering the bad users.
Hopefully everything goes well. I haven’t been having good luck recently so this better not go wrong either. If you have any questions please do ask.
