Misinformation regarding the current situation
Taaaalking about the RGB/Puzzles controversy once again because this does seem like something worth correcting.
I don’t know if I will do more posts or if this will finally be my last one, but for all my followers and co whose health this has negatively impacted:
Im tagging posts like this from now on with #rgb/puzzles controversy. Feel free to filter the tag!!
Now, Im not really writing this about the situation directly, I’ve already made my statement about that.
This is about misinformation and some other things which are unfortunately currently spreading around.
Mistakes happen, to me and everyone else but in this situation it is important that you fact check before believing or posting and reblogging everything.
Zamination has made a statement about the situation in their discord.
This is not exactly true. The Discord Server Moderation Team has made a statement in response to people wondering if talk about the situation is allowed in chat. They are aware, many people have been bringing the situation and are still bringing it up in chat, but they cannot personally do anything.
2. Zamination is deleting comments related to the situation under their YouTube videos.
Many people have stated under the same post of that claim that their own comment about the RGB/Puzzles situation is still up. If you check for yourself under the CAV trailer, you can confirm it for yourself. So far it appears to be a YouTube bug from a few people’s sides, not an action from Zamination themselves.
The next thing isn’t about misinformation but should still be addressed.
3. Going under fan creation posts of Mr. Puzzles to comment on the situation
With that I mean people commenting something like “Mr Puzzles is a stolen design” or similar under someone’s fanart of the character. I’ve heard it’s worse on other platforms, but once again. Do not do that. Your intentions may be good, but your actions are not.
These people cannot change anything about the situation nor are they in any way responsible. If you want to spread awareness you can do so in your own post or posts related to the situation.
Doing it on other people’s art posts is of no result other than ruining that person’s day. Don’t harass Mod, but also don’t do it the other way around.
A lot of people already feel bad enough about the situation, this is laying hard on the conscience of Mr Puzzles fans too.
Awareness is great but keep it to the corners where it can actually help.
4. The situation and mental health
It’s no news at this point that this has spread everywhere from Tumblr to Twitter to TikTok at this point. It’s not an easy situation and things are heated right now. If this is worsening your mental health I ask of you:
Take a break, put the phone or laptop for the side for a bit. If you can’t do that just let social media rest for a while. Maybe watch a movie, your favorite series.
This likely won’t resolve until either GLITCH or Zamination make a statement or reach out to Mod so there isn’t much more you can do from your side and that is okay. You did what you could and that’s all that’s asked of you. You’re not asked to hate Puzzles, you’re not asked to make a statmenent.
I myself have found that it helps a lot to take a step back at times. Doomscrolling the tags is not only a waste of your time but will only negatively weigh on your mind. It’s good to spread awareness but also be mindful of your own mental health.
