uh oh grace drama stuff here's how i feel
idk if there's anything new after the simon slurs screenshots were spread across the community, i left the official grace server and stopped checking socials for drama updates because it was killing me mentally. i wanted to write this and express how i feel and what i'll do
first of all, i do not support what simon and fynnee did. at first i believed he would improve and was willing to try and help her, even forgave him somewhat after his apology a couple days ago, but seeing each racist and ableist slur he spat out, especially towards the community, truly broke my trust in him improving and negatively change my vision of him.
from what i've seen, he's planning on apologizing again, but i'm not sure if i'd forgive him, unless i see ACTUAL improvement coming from him.
what i will do? give me a bit to calm down and rest my nerves from all this, first. everything is a mess
i stopped playing grace for a few months after the previous drama (the grace babies one, which affected me as a tester for it), and only recently got back into it. the current drama felt like a bombshell dropping in front of me just as i was beginning to be comfortable once again. at the moment, i'm unable to think of it or play it without feeling weird and bothered.
however, there was a post i saw on this platform, suggesting things you can do as a grace lover despite the drama (i reblogged it, it should be under this post if you check my profile)
grace is such a wonderful game with fun gameplay, interesting lore and a wonderful message, that is so undeserving of such drama and problems. i will never stop loving grace because it also helped me cope and heal from personal issues last year, through the entities and story it offered.
i want to continue playing it, so i'm trying to separate the art from the artist. it takes time, but i want to think of grace and feel comfort, not be reminded of its creator and feel frustration.
i am also willing to make content of it again (i've been planning on doing so for days, i've just been too tired to draw for weeks due to burn out), bring my sinnersona back to life, maybe even cope with it once again. i just miss drawing grace-related things, and i don't want this drama to stop me from doing it.
TL;DR uh simon and fynnee are bad people, i support NEITHER of them, but i will never stop loving grace as a game. i want to continue playing it with friends and making content for it, after a short break from this whole mess. (edit: break over i feel better so im playing it again)
oh right idk how to feel about mochi idrc anymore i'd rather focus on the game itself than the devs and people behind it
also im gonna be focusing more on pressure also because it's helping me feel better from everything ok? ok byebye
(edit: nvm pressure devs bad)
