Was high as shit last night and kept a notes app folder of my tennis thoughts as I watched that exhibition tournament
Reading back through these this morning is increasingly amusing to me
Hey other autistics!
Would anyone be interest in joining a Kik group chat for other autistics? I just made one, it's called #autistic_cuties so if you want to join please feel free! We can discuss our SI, stims, or experiences! I'd love to meet more in the community, so stop by and say hi!
we love you roscumber
to say my piece: firstly, fuck iskall.
secondly, its very easy to tell by the outpouring of hate comments on many of the hermits' recent videos (after his response) that he reached a target of young, impressionable fans. not only that, but also a darker side of the hermitcraft fandom that i like to ignore.
as much as i love hermitcraft, its "golden" status that its gotten from remaining "unpolitical" and "drama-free" has perpetuated a very ugly-hearted group of fans who cant find solace in the more openly left-wing smp communities. so they turn to hermitcraft, where they can hide a little more easily. and this has been a group of people slowly cultivating numbers for years now, and there's enough of them that docm77's gay beacon, or the number of pride mcc participants (and queer hermits) can't ward off.
these people have always been the ones brushing concerns in the community under the rug, the "this isn't the place for politics," and "i watch hermitcraft to get AWAY from that stuff." types. they are never going to believe the women that were harassed over the male creator they've latched onto as someone who's "for them" and "un-cancelable." these people have been waiting for this opportunity. and you'll see them say "hermitcraft is over," and "they can't come back from this," but none of that is true. they're the only ones who believe that.
and as awful as all of this is, the hate and the VERY thinly veiled misogyny-- there is a bright-side in weeding those people out. "i don't think i'll be able to watch hermitcraft after this" good fucking riddance.
iskall knew what he was doing by bringing his shit response video to his youtube audience. instead of the reddit, instead of twitter, but to a space that HE moderates. the space with the highest concentration of people who he know will defend him.
my only hope is that the hermits double down on this, and that they have the backbone to make it clear that these people are not welcome in the community. and neither is iskall. and that the larger chunk of us continue to support the victims, and uplift what they have to say. i can't imagine how this must feel for them.
whitewashing in the mcyt fandom is so ridiculous bc not only is it still crazy prevalent but everyone will actively support the art that blatantly and heavily whitewashes creators and then just go on their merry way. it’s especially bad on tumblr like were you all born YESTERDAY????
i just i love minecraft above all else. respect my favourite game NOW or reap the consequences... especially upsetting, to me, because minecraft is so often demeaned and looked down upon BECAUSE it has such a largely "outcasted" community compared to the rest of the gaming-sphere. linguistically and nationally diverse, queer, disabled. it's not uncommon to see it written off as "not a real game" because the gaming and streaming community at large does not see the minecraft community as people worth respect, because they do not see them as equal people. that's where the lack of respect for the game comes from. don't forget that. EVER. if you ever find yourself wondering why minecraft roleplay is not respected as a medium the same way gta roleplay is, don't forget the saturation of queer storytelling in mcrp.
there's something in the fact that lizzie's death can never be uniquely hers. she is always stuck between two violent forces, never the reason for her own demise, and never going out on her own terms. always, always the middle-man.
first, it was for bdubs—for etho, too. for a promise made that she had nothing to do with. she died in a heartbeat—a confusing blur of screams and colour. she died so that bdubs could live, and her death was not hers, but his. it was his victory, his way out, and she got lost somewhere in the middle.
second, it was for joel—for his god-given task, and for his rivalry. she died alone, forever falling, carrying out a mission that she had nothing to do with. she died and jimmy lived, and once more her death was not her own. not hers, but his— his victory and his celebration, all while she continued to fall.
most recently, it was for jimmy— a mission, and a promise that he would be "taken out by [grian's] own hand," that she had nothing to do with. she died voiceless, unable to utter a final word, and grian cheered. not for her elimination, but for his. it had nothing to do with her, she just happened to be there.
forever cursed to die shouldering a burden that is not her own, always overshadowed by something greater.
