I am gonna explain situation that made me leave the clone high fandom. This will mention stuff like pedophilia and harassment, so viewer discretion is advice. I will not be naming anyone in this story nor giving you guys the server due to me not remembering everyone's names that were involved, and the server is no longer on disboard. With all that being said, despite all I went through with this server, don't find and harass these people.
Getting into this, they were not the only one's that did wrong, I have done some stuff that is very questionable in this server as well. For starters, one of my OCs has said that cleo has big tits...people said that he was cheating on his girlfriend for it and in my sheer stupidity, I made him say he was autistic as I was scared of this interaction. I do not think autism is a valid excuse to harass anyone, regardless of gender.
Now onto...the rest of the story.
So, I joined the server probably around 2020-2021, maybe a little later, as that was the peak of me being in the fandom, making OCs, etc. I had only watched the first season and had only seen a small bit of the others. I had fun in it, my weird al clone got a girlfriend, we would joke around...but the longer I joined, the worse it got.
For starters, there was the n-word being thrown around left and right. I know that as a white person, I have no say on how this word should be used, but the word was used a lot, especially to insult others....in both ways (hard r was used, yes.) I don't quite know if these people could reclaim the word, but it still felt off to me that they would do this, but that was only the first strike. This part wasn't too bad, but I remember being so upset about it when it happened... I had a weird al clone OC (I have brought him back since if you saw my posts), and someone said that they didn't like weird al, and found his voice annoying. As someone with a hyperfixation of weird al, I was upset... the worst was yet to come tho.
The next thing, a certain member in the server, as I was told...turned out to be erping (doing NSFW roleplay) with minors. I was shocked by this knowledge as me and them did Canon x OC (they roleplayed as van gogh, and I had my Gilbert gottfried clone), and I later blocked them after this, and I am still no longer in contact with them as of this day. The last thing I will mention is one of the members saying they hated me. Why? What was the heinous crime that I committed? My mic was broken during a voice chat. Not to mention I also got called a pedophile or that the way I interacted in roleplay in the server was inappropriate (other than the boob thing, people were role-playing that scene where Joan and cleo had a pillow fight and ripped off their clothes, I only asked for clarification on if they meant fully off, or just in their bra and undies...not for malicious intent as that was kinda a weird scene to roleplay, especially as what I'm assuming is minors anyways, I just wanted clarification, although I guess I can see how that was seen that way.)
I later also had a server of my own that I invited them to, and they harassed me there as well, leading me to delete that server. This left me to basically feel weird when witnessing anything clone high related, which sucked because I loved role-playing, creating characters, just all of that. I ended up taking a break, I left the fandom, the server, and making OCs behind. I've never used my clones again. The show that gave me so much happiness, especially in my later years of high school, only reminded me of the experience I went through with the fandom.
Thankfully, that wasn't the end, as recently I have gotten right back into the swing of it and finally moved on from that shit to bring back old clones, make new ones, and get my joy back.
I was gonna go back to sleep, but holy shit I had this post in my head, and I needed to get it out.
Sorry if it's not like typed well or formatted correctly. idk how to do this in a way that's cohesive and easy to read. I kinda just wanted to talk about my past experience to bring awareness as to why I haven't been in the fandom and just kinda yap about it.
