Alright let's get this started
Eddsworld has come back and there's obviously going to be some new fans
Do not tag your art of the characters with the actual last names of the characters, especially ship art or not sfw art
It's #eddsworld tom, #ew tom, #tom eddsworld and stuff along those lines
NOT #tom ridgewell or #tomska
The character is not the person and especially now that he's not involved
This goes for the other guys too
And now, since I know I'll get some comments or messages about it like I did last time, here's some answers:
"Zombie Attack 2 had Matt & Tord's actual last names"
That video is from 14 years ago and before the move to youtube where Eddsworld got super big. Ever since then the actual last nes of the characters have not been used
"But the credits say they star as themselves!"
Most of pre-legacy says that, from Fan Service onward it says "X as Y" instead of "X as themselves"
Last episode to say that was Hammer and Fail which was almost a decade ago guys
"Is it really why actual Tord left?"
Apparently, and I can't verify this, he did because of unwanted attention
Furthermore Patryk Dudulewicz (voice of Patryck note the c in the name which is on the character's name card and credit) did have a long ass rant due to all the tagging stuff since he couldn't google his actual name without seeing it
and yes I'm aware of irl patryk but the statement still stands
Paul ter Voorde also asked to stop using his actual last name
You could call these two Pau and Pat as an alternative if you would rather use different names all together
Tag your ships, that's it, any of these are cool
#tomtord #tordtom #tomxtord #tordxtom etc. Just ya know, don't use actual last names or youtube handles
The shipsworld tag is a great tag honestly as a collective
as for your rule 34 art, sinsworld is always the sneaky tag. sin isn't referring to shipping it just seems to be the lemon tag
Anyways this isn't me trying to be rude or fandom policing but it's a thing that's been said over and over yet it doesn't stop
