So, first of all I’m sorry that this took me so long to make, but there was a lot of information to sift through. I’m not planning on coming back to Tumblr in any capacity beyond this but the truth needs to be out there. (And if you're curious about the profile picture/description/etc, I had to dress this blog up a bit so it didn't look like a bot and trigger any algorithms.)
Content warnings for this post:
Heavily discusses kinks and has screenshots of fetish art
References grooming/pedophilia accusations
References transphobia/harassment accusations
This is going to be an EXTREMELY long post with lots of screenshots, so the rest is under a cut.
Edit: Here is the end of the post so you can read it all at once. https://www.tumblr.com/casualartisanninja/747977941832613888/loose-ends
The incident in Hobqueer’s server
I think a good place to start would be the spark that set off this whole chain reaction.
I’m not sure how long I’d been in that server for when the NSFW in general incident happened. But one thing’s for sure - I didn’t start the conversation about NSFW topics. Like I mentioned on the Reddit post where someone had found me and started accusing me under my comment on the Janitor.AI post, I saw the people there discussing mpreg and oviposition. I looked at it and thought “wow the rules are a lot more lax than I initially thought!”. Yes, I know, looking back, that should’ve been a huge red flag. I also know that, looking back, I should never talk about NSFW in the general chat- even if everyone else is doing it. “If so-and-so jumped off a cliff” and all. I’m really sorry that I did that, and it was definitely a lesson for me.
But I really wasn’t thinking about that at the time. It wasn’t my intention to hurt anyone, and I especially wouldn’t have done it if I knew minors would be there. I know it wasn’t an 18+ server, and it was just a frankly idiotic move on my part. I just saw “Sniper pregnant” and pictures of the mercs with big bellies, and let my better judgment and reasoning get clouded.
However, the way that they’re portraying this incident is extremely intellectually dishonest. Gabriel failed to mention in his callout post that those minors were looking at and sharing fetish art of the mercs, leaving out most of the context for those. Thankfully one of my friends from Chipspeech (who I’ll leave anonymous) joined the server to check and see if the fetish art was still there. It was. Hobqueer and the moderators never deleted any of the discussion, and worst of all they left the fetish pictures up in full view of everybody. One person, who later admitted to being a minor in a dm, even gave a pretty graphic description of a tentacle hentai/mpreg comic. Be warned, this contains NSFW content. I blurred the names of anybody who isn't mentioned in this post.
I've run out of room for images, so I have to add the rest in another reblog. This will be a very long thread with a lot of images, so please bear with me.
Chipspeech fandom, we really need to get it together.
There’s only like 3 or 4 of us right now that are active. I’ve noticed that there’s so much division and hate among everybody and a disconcerting amount of politics being forced HARD into the whole thing. I’m allergic to politics of any kind (I mean I do have opinions but when it comes to Chipspeech keep politics of any kind away from my Chips!! They’re individual characters, not just another brick in the wall!) and it really pains me to see people making Chipspeech about political grandstanding and excluding people. Chipspeech isn’t about that, it’s about old technology, cyberpunk, robots, nostalgia and futurism simultaneously and every one of this diverse, beautiful range of characters.
We should be coming together and bonding over our shared love of these things, looking for common ground instead of things to attack each other over, and having fun- like a fandom is supposed to do. We’re a small fandom, so we’ve really got to stick together and support each other. If we just start trying to exclude people and kick people out over petty differences, then we’ve potentially lost a great contributor to the fandom, someone who could even be a good friend. A very small niche fandom like ours feels a loss of creativity way, way harder than a big one. We should also try growing the fandom! I’ve been trying to myself but I really struggle trying to find new people to tell about Chipspeech. Most of the ones I can think of to tell, I’ve already told and they don’t really care about it. But I know there’s more people like us out there, people who will absolutely fall in love with it once they find out about it. I just don’t know where they’re lurking on the Internet.
And I can only speak for myself here, but I’m sure I’m not the only one who uses Chipspeech, and tech, cyberpunk and robots as a way to take a break from politics and arguing. I’m absolutely drowning in politics 24/7 and especially now that the US presidential election is tomorrow I’m just so sick of hearing about Donald Trump, Joe Biden and their standing on any issue known to mankind- and of course, of everybody arguing about it. I’m just beyond politics fatigued. I’ve had it crammed down my throat since... well, since even before 2020, really. I’m sure the rest of y’all get tired of hearing about this too!!
People like to talk about safe spaces- I think that the Chipspeech fandom should be a safe space, a safe space for Chipspeech fans to just kind of forget about politics, bad news and drama, and just let go. To have fun for a while free of judgment as long as you’re here, and where any interpretations of canon information are welcome. That’s one of the things I find most beautiful about fandoms, seeing what everybody does with the same information. Making up headcanons and designing alternate outfits is fun, and fleshing out extra storyline in your own way is what keeps fandoms going round.
I’m ready for our fandom to be a fandom, not a battlefield- and I’ll take any steps possible to get there! I love and appreciate every last one of y’all and am grateful that we’ve got Chipspeech in common, and hope that I can start to really bond with you guys and new people over Chipspeech and yell about robots together.
I present to you, random screenshots from my Chipspeech Sims
It was at that moment Lady Parsec knew, she fucked up.
Meanwhile Cidertalk ‘84 is playing in the trash and having SUCH a good time!!
Some smexy Cidandy! Just as a side note I have more pictures of them but if it wasn’t already obvious I have WickedWhims installed, so almost all of my Cidandy screenshots ended up being explicit (mostly because Dandy almost never has his clothes on and every time they flirt with each other they’re like “You know what LET’S BANG RIGHT HERE AND RIGHT NOW!!! And then we’ll bang again in the bathroom! And maybe one more time outside for good measure!”)
Seriously Dandy!! The neighbors are here! Quit crying into your chicken curry and go put some clothes on! Not only that but Dee doesn’t want to wake up and have your undercarriage be the first thing they see. Like oh good morning Dee, here’s some pp!
The neighbors are perfectly content to just watch Bert take a bath like that lol
And finally, perhaps one of my favorite Sims screenshots: I paused the game when this random lady was talking to Bert and it looks like he caught her about to slap his ass!!
And just as a bonus here’s a group photo. The guy with the green mohawk is Rotten.ST. I wasn’t very happy with how he turned out though, so I replaced him with Otto. Who looks like a zombie in a gas mask and loves to use the computer while contemplating the coldness of the void.
ATTENTION CHIPSPEECH PEOPLE, ESPECIALLY THE CHIPCHAT
Alright guys, it’s time I do some real talk here.
When a Chipspeech character/mod doesn’t even feel comfortable being around us anymore because of all of the tension and toxicity that is underlying, you know that there is something wrong.
Soda-chan should not have to feel incredibly uncomfortable as their character and see issues rise up not only between other members of the fandom, but with them and another person. They do not have to be Dandy for us, you know. They really do not.
We Chiptrash, especially us in the Chipchat on Skype, have been building up tension like crazy ever since that one CAH game where we poked fun at Dee and Vosim’s expense. As I see it, we’ve been so focused on keeping the peace and being nice to the chip characters that we end up keeping all of the “bad” things out of view, and when that involves disagreements between what different people think is right, it leads to underlying tension. I hear about the issues people have with each other behind the scenes, but no one wants to approach each other, and that is not good.
To be honest? This tension has not only worn at Soda, it has worn on me too. Like, I really do not want to drop names at all but, a lot of you guys need to chill. Like seriously. Your problems are very important, but that doesn’t give you an excuse to act in disrespectful manners.
This isn’t just about being kind to others. It’s one thing to be kind and support each other, but it’s another to be a doormat, which quite frankly I’ve been for a while now.
We need to chill. We fucked up, and we need to take responsibility for that. You guys all know who you are.
