Im doing a follower cleanse and also these are just important things you need to know about me!!

I am anti-radqueer. I dont care if you use non harmful identitys. Being radqueer belittles real trans identitys. They are also a incredibly harmful idea when it comes to things like trans disability,transharmful,transtruamatized ect ect.

Trans rights are HUMAN RIGHTS. Trans people of all kind are welcome here. Yes even xneo genders. Yes even contradictory genders. Yes pre transition and post transition are welcome. Hell I dont care if you never medically,socially,or physcially transition and are trans I support you.

Queer rights are HUMAN RIGHTS. All members of lgbtq are welcome always even the super niche micro lable users.

I am pro choice, your body your choice.

I respect all religions but pushing your religion on others on this page is not welcome.

I belive people deserve basic necessities regardless if they have a job or not.Humans deserve water,food,medical support, ect regardless of where they are financially.

All disabled people of all diffrent support needs are welcome here. People with disabilitys are human and deserve love and compassion.They are valuable because they are human with thoughts and feelings. Not because of what they do for society.

I support both the sfw little and kink little community. I do not interact with the nsfw community nor are they welcome to interact with me for my own mental well being. But they are not inherently bad people. (no i will not be argueing this)

Alterhumans are welcome always. You are not crazy or weird. I dont always fully understand all of it but its not hurting anyone!!

Truamagenic systems are welcome! I do not support endogenic or willogenic systems. Stop romanticizing a disorder for funsies.

furries are welcome! Furries are not gross or weird. they are usally wonderful human beings who are incredibly creative.

Padded/Diapered agere/agedre is not sexual or weird and is completely welcomed here

I really wish Wynne (DAO) would’ve met Cole (DAI)… like that poor dude would’ve needed her to just calmly talk with him about spirits and mages, tell him there’s nothing to worry about. She would be sooooo chill about the possession thing

Instead, my guy got the entire human vs spirit dilemma sponsored by Baldy (also known as Chuckles) and Dad™

A more in depth view on my view of CC boundaries.

Simply put: I don't like them, they are a way for CC's to police a space not made for them and it encourages harassment and witch hunts.

It is one thing to say 'hey I don't want to see this / don't share it with me / tag it properly'. It is another to say 'Do Not Make This.'

Because even if you ignore the history of CC boundaries and all those implications, all it does is give people an excuse to harass those who do make that content. You simply cannot control what a fandom creates, only how they react to the creation based on your reaction.

The content will be made whether or not you want it to be made. But that is what tags and filtering content is for. Most places fan content is shared have filtering systems. Ao3 is a prime example of this. You don't want to see it? Filter and Block the tags, then move on. If the tag doesn't exist in your community, then have a discussion with them to make a tag for them to use.

It is not up to a CC to control and police the content fans make, it is up to a CC to filter out the content they don't like. Just like everyone else on the internet.

When you tell people they cannot make content, you are subtly if not outright telling others in the fandom to find and report those that do make that content. So they can feel like they are 'one of the good ones'.

This can even lead to people who don't even break boundaries being harassed for breaking perceived boundaries that don't exist. Some CC's have vague boundaries that can make it hard to tell where the line is, others have some so strict if something is even implied or open to interpretation it can lead to harassment.

Even the CC's who say 'don't harass people' often have mods and other fans who 'break that boundary' in a way by harassing the people anyways.

This was longer than i wanted it to be. This isn't a new issue, just one I want to give more of my thoughts on.

hey so.... for no reason at all...friendly reminder.... but uhhhh

REAL PEOPLE CANT BE "STRAIGHT-CODED" OR ANY OTHER KIND OF "_____-CODED"

the term "coded" in this sense is EXCLUSIVELY for fictional characters. Its when a Fictional Character cant be (for whatever reason) explicitly a certain demographic.

Real People cant be "coded" at all end of discussion. anyone who thinks so is a dumb bitch.

I have still yet be shown any actual proven evidence of vivzipop being a downright horrible person. Like what, at the very least she’s a little mean? And that’s all we have on her? What

And I have tried time and time again to sit down and listen to evidence but like. It’s all all been proven false or is just along the lines of ‘she’s mean!! She’s a rude person so that makes her irredeemable and bad and you shouldn’t watch her shows. Oh you don’t think she’s mean? Look at this one post of hers!’ And it’s a post of her being annoyed at ppl making up shit about her to try and hate her. Or, the hate is just towards her artstyle or story writing. Which is fair enough to not like the show because of art style and story, everyone has their preferences. But I don’t see why those are good reasons to hate her as a person and claim she’s all evil or whatever. And then you have the people who are like ‘it’s her portrayal of Angeldust! It’s all sexual and romanticism.’ Who clearly haven’t watched the show because it’s just. Not at all romanticized.

Like I’ve had posts and comments I made where I essentially begged ppl to give me actual evidence so I could understand (because frankly the hate is so crazy it makes me think surely there’s grounds to it) but so far… no one’s given me actual evidence.

And i don’t give a shit if she’s sometimes rude. That doesn’t make her an evil person????? Like hello???

I think the concept of privilege as it is used(at least on this website) is actually really inflammatory and doesn't help anyone. Why do we do this; why can't we find better language that doesn't alienate and harm other people, especially those already vulnerable? It's not the term I must be clear, it's how it is used.

I'm not sure if this is the end for the QSMP, but I wouldn't be surprised if it were shut down soon after this.

The eggs have been the lifeblood of the server since they were introduced, and having some of them permanently gone from the server is devastating for so many reasons, and bodes terribly for the future of this project. My optimism has run out. I will still wait for updates but I have no hope.

However, I wanted to write a piece for the community here on Tumblr. I know we're all very emotional right now, because while we have no confirmation that the QSMP will permanently close, we now have good reason to assume there might just be no other clear path out of this.

To the community:

Do not feel like you have to stop loving the server and everything it created. Do not stop creating art. Do not stop sharing why you loved the characters and the story and the world.

To completely boycott everything QSMP, you are discrediting the incredible work that the admins put into the server purely out of passion and the kindness of their hearts. Do not waste their sacrifices. Talk about the server and everything they did for it, give them recognition, let them know we love and appreciate all the time and care they poured into this project. Thank them by caring about their work that they put so much of themselves into.

To completely boycott everything QSMP, you are ignoring the beautiful friendships it created between content creators who otherwise would never have met, and the way it ignited such a fierce determination to learn about others' cultures in them. You are forgetting how much these streamers strived to tell engaging, relatable, fun stories, by themselves or with each other, and to have their fans talk about how much they liked their newest lore. You are refusing to acknowledge the effort put in by everyone on the project to tell amazing stories through the language barrier.

And to completely boycott the QSMP, you are denying yourself the fact that you loved this server; the eggs, the streamers, the stories, the cultural events, the laughter, the sadness, the friendships, the ship ships, the builds, the mods, the languages. You are part of this server for enjoying it's wonderful vitality and beauty and hilarity. As a community, we all are.

I have had my gripes with the QSMP fanbase, as anyone has gripes with the dysfunctional mad household they live in, but at the end of the day, I love it so much. This has been my first time actually being part of a fandom; interacting with people and sharing my art and my ideas, getting into silly debates and arguments, running my mouth off more than I should. I love this bizarre toxic fandom for all of it's worth; I love the fanfic writers (even if I think their characterisation is terrible), I love the fanartists (even if they give Pac those yellow scleras that always make me think of jaundice), I love the live bloggers (even if they clog up the main tag), I love the people who write analysis, the people who make animations and animatics, the people who webweave, and all the other things people in this fandom do to interact with the media we all collectively love and bond over.

We do not need to let this be the end of our community, as we can still share our admiration for the hard work put into this project, lift each other up, express praise where it is warranted.

And we can talk to each other, we can vent about how this has negatively effected us (provided we tag it appropriately 👁️👁️) and respond in kind to those seeking someone to speak to who relates.

The QSMP taught us the value of communication. While behind the scenes, it itself did not abide by it's own rules, we can. The QSMP itself is not the figurehead of communication; the content creators and the fans it sent this message to are. We can be an example of what the QSMP should have stood for.

I do not love the deeply flawed execution of the QSMP, but with my whole heart I love the idea; the ambition, the goal. It was noble. It, to some extent, worked.

It united communities.

Let it unite ours.
