Hi! I'm Orion. I go by they / them. Do not misgender me because you do not like me. I read and write RPF , mostly with Minecraft I will engage in discourse I'm prolly considered a boundary breaker. If you do not like such things do not interact. No dni but I most likely will be harsh and have nsfw posts ! Pfp by vampirvee on here

Intro cause I'm tired and it's one am. I may make a better one later.

We go by they/them. Don't misgender us.

We try to block most ccs don't purposefully show this blog to them.

We read Rpf, write Rpf, etc.

We are #certifedparasocial

I know that there is a lot of young people in the mcyt fandom, who have not developed and learned how to pick apart texts and notice specific things in them yet. So, because of recent stuff and the words "boundaries", "rules" and "censorship" being thrown around like candy, here's someone who has these skills (me) going through Millkberrys and Pyroscythes statements.

(TW for death, rape and sa threats, mention of sh and harassment, use of the r-slur)

First off, the actual official definitions of the words:

(The first one is from wikipedia, the other two from the Cambridge dictionary, you can look them up if you'd like full confirmation on the sources.)

(notable, fan works such as fanart, fanfiction and headcanons or shitposts are considered a work of art and/or kind of communication with other fans.)

(notable #2, the ideas people are allowed to express and the certain ideas that are included or supported in this case is the shipping of the creators characters.)

(notable #3, content creators / mcyts are minor celebrities and with that have authority over their fan communitys. If you disagree, feel free to block me, I will not be arguing over this.)

And now, me marking/highligthing things in the statements that fit those definitions/descriptions:

What's a boundary or implies one is marked with green.

What's not a boundary is marked with yellow.

What's a rule or implies a rule is marked with blue.

What's censorship is marked red.

I want it to be noted that the only times boundaries are implied or mentioned by either of them, is the word, regarding that this is for Millkberrys mental health or when the actual act of setting boundaries is dismissed (as a past action or entirely).

This is not to mention Pyroscythes literal thread of harassment and policing people, which has already taken action through other fans putting death and rape threads in peoples ask boxes:

(If any of the victims of the threats want me to take them out of this, feel free to tell me and I will do so!)

Apparently one of Pyroscythes mods claimed on Twitter that it was meant as a joke. However, considering the very serious nature of both the stream segment and his expression as well as the fact that it came from a mod and Pyroscythe has yet to actually say anything on this themself, I'm inclined to not believe it.

Lastly, my opinion on this:

Harassment is never okay and no matter how many times these creators have said in the past that they don't endorse it, reality is looking different right now. You cannot tell your large audience what Pyroscythe has told his and expect it not to listen to you, no matter if it was meant as a joke or not.

This is not a boundary, it is a rule at minimum and censorship at worse. Censorship is rampant right now and fandom spaces are some of the few spaces that allow free expression, trying to take that away is not okay. If you cannot handle seeing ship content of your characters, then you should block people who do make art of it, block the shipping tags and not go out of your way to look for it. You can ask people not to show that art to you, and that is completely valid. It is also completely valid to ban people from Stream chats and discords if they do show it to you. It is not valid to tell people what kind of art they can and cannot create however. And if you can't handle the idea of ship content of your characters existing at all, then maybe you should rethink your career choice as a content creator who focuses on roleplay and character creation.

The statements that need addressing

This isn’t a smear campaign, but a collection of problems people are trying to genuinely communicate to you all in one post.

Boundaries are supposed to protect your space, but the internet is a public space, so while you can set rules for your twitch chat and discord, you can’t ban shipping as a whole on both public and private spaces. It’s unreasonable and encroaches on other artists' ability to create art for themselves.

Because boundaries aren’t rules, and you cannot weaponize them as such.

You can’t make rules which apply to everyone that even without your watchful eye would make you feel uncomfortable, and it’s incredibly controlling to nitpick how you want characters you made for a story to be interpreted.

And it’s not being attached to ships that’s the issue here, but how you want to control how everyone else views character relationships for your sake, in a space where people want to share their creations to each other and not you. 

Not every piece of fanart is a “gift” to you, not every piece of fanfiction wants to be read by you and demands your attention. You can perfectly avoid all these works with tags, both on ao3 or like so many people have suggested, a dni tag on tumblr as many other cc’s have used.

There’s a reason why so many cc’s have normalized dni tags, it’s because like any other person on the internet, you should filter what will trigger you and not expect every other person to just never post about your one trigger.

Cc’s such as Martyn, Cleo, Abolish, Legs and Graecie to name a few understand this concept well enough.

Yes these are the characters you created, but the moment you monetized them and grew a large following from a story being shown like any other, you lost the right to how everyone will view your character and grow attached to them. How they interpret your characters outside of you, shouldn’t be your business because they aren’t talking about you, once again character and content creator should remain separate.

No you aren’t a content machine, you can choose how you want to roleplay and act, you can choose if you want characters to share your name or not, but you can’t get mad at everyone else for then taking those characters as characters, whether their interpretation is what you want or not, accurate or not, it shouldn’t be an issue to you or your partner.

Especially when a lot of people within these communities are minors and or significantly younger than you.

You have so many artists who have drawn works genuinely directed for you while also making their own fan pieces for the fandom they upheld, that's what got vsmp so popular to begin with. Yet you only seem to want the pieces directed to you for your approving eye.

That’s why I don’t understand how you continue to deny the use of a dni tag, as if you’re purposefully trying to run into works not made for you.

Or how you will continue to “flirt as a joke” as you and Maddy said on stream, queerbait, but ban anyone for even writing fanfiction that has been properly tagged.

How you choose your words deliberately, with your “birds” basically policing a fandom, or how to not harass past shippers, not extending that to how you shouldn’t harass anyone to begin with. All while having your mods clarify how the “birds” was a joke that no one understood, or how a clip of you clearly only stating “past shippers” actually included any shippers in general in a post where your mod defends you.

All these clarifications don’t even have courtesy of even coming out of you directly, so how are we supposed to know the true intent of the words or what you meant, in an important stream which you wanted many to view, you didn’t make this information clear or accessible to anyone not watching the stream.

Evidence if anything is edited or removed:

And there are already cases of harassment coming out because of the very words you said. link These were examples I could find from others

You get hundreds of people on your streams now, and it clearly shows you weren’t ready for the influx of viewers you got after vsmp and the flight smp. Going from a few chatters in your previous streams on even cowboys smp, to now a constant stream of messages in your chat at all times.

I hope you realize by now that your community very much does idolize you, we are all human and we all make mistakes, however it is up to everyone, especially someone with a large following as you, to know when they overstepped and know that they can take back previous statements after making an informed decision.

If your defense tactic is to ban people from your twitch and discord because they posted something far too “ship like” with their “repeat offenses” after you looked for it and didn’t make a safe space for them to post it without your viewing or community’s harassment, then yes it’s immature.

And I implore you to take time off to think about these things offline, defend yourself and make clear boundaries for your community, but not rules to the fandom as a whole, and have a conversation with your partner if the idea of knowing people like making two minecraft fictional block characters kiss is so distressing.

Because at one point, it isn’t simply about boundaries but control.

Also please don’t make someone as young as 16 mod for your chat when you clearly state how minors shouldn’t even share their age in your communities. Minors will of course jump at the opportunity, but it is you as an adult almost a decade older than those 16 year olds to know it isn’t safe for them.

i think if you are in a position of power and use that power to tell people that you see their every move and are going to do what you deem "appropriate reactions" to them breaking your personal preference rules in private spaces AND ALSO tell them you have spies watching them just in case they try to hide then that makes you a bad person

[varteeny1234]

sure why not. this post is about santa claus now. we're canceling santa claus on tumblr dot com

You better not draw,

You better not write,

Not if it's something

That he doesn't like;

That grown adult on twitch dot tv!

He's got little birds

In every tree

Gonna find out

If you're not pg!

As a grown adult on twitch dot tv!

He sees you when you're shipping

And when you boundary-break,

It's okay if you're joking but

Not okay if it's gay!

(Ew!)

You better not draw,

You better not write,

If you don't want people

To kill you on sight

For a grown adult on twitch dot tv!

Hey dude thanks for the message. I am on a personal crusade to systematically destroy separation between CCs and fans and everything the fandom holds dear.

[hn-undercover-9503]

Btw I saw that one of his mods addressed the threat by saying like "ohh well he meant like they'd be banned from chat, that's all!" And like okay well in that case WHY DIDN'T HE SAY THAT.

WHY DID HE SAY "I'LL SEND MY PEOPLE AFTER YOU." I THINK COMMON SENSE IS A REALLY STUPID ARGUMENT BUT FOR THE LOVE OF GOD YOU CANNOT NOT REALIZE THAT THAT STATEMENT IS THREATENING. WHAT THE ACTUAL HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU MAN.

"Content creators are people too!" So are your fans. Your fans are also people. They are not numbers, they are not just "chat." They are PEOPLE. Real people who live and want to be creative and have fun. People who care and have invested hours upon hours of their free time to you and your characters, and yes, YOUR SHIPS. People who are just here to have fun and be creative and make things in THEIR HOUSE while you barge through the front door and declare their furniture is bad and needs to be destroyed.

Hey, that painting on your canvas, the one you're working on right now? Get rid of it. Throw it in the trash. Set it on fire. That's not allowed here. What's that, this is your house? I can't decide what art you put up? WRONG! Cease and desist, bitch. My birds are gonna get you. No, actually, I'm not gonna clarify what that statement means. You're being evil and wrong and therefore I'm in the right and you have to listen to me.

Fans are people too. I'm sick of content creators are people bullshit. I'm sick of having to watch my friends' houses be gutted out and redecorated to some random guy's specific qualifications. Get out of the house if you don't like the decor. We were here FIRST.
