Okay I kind of want to get this off my chest I was ranting about it to myself so I figured I might as well talk about it in a post hi. I am going to make this very clear if you try and start an argument with me on this post I will just block you and probably delete your reply but this needs to be said and I hope @therealjacksepticeye will share my sentiments on this.

Stop getting angry at people who don't want to watch Sean anymore

There have been plenty of people who have decided that they no longer want to watch Sean and his content no. This is a perfectly valid thing to feel say and do and you know what does not help him? Sending angry messages trying to emotionally manipulate people into feeling bad about not wanting to watch him anymore.

You are actively hurting him when you do this no joke you are making it all the more likely that someone will not return. You further create a negative experience related to Sean in that person's mind I know from experience because years ago I was able to take a break from Sean due to emotional reasons because his comments about fat people were really bothering me.

I stopped watching him for a while and eventually as you do I remembered him and I missed him and I made my way back to his channel and found that he had changed and was not making the same comments that he was before. that made me incredibly happy and I even posted about it and got a response from him that he was very happy that I felt safe on his channel again.

Sean has fully accepted that when people want to leave they will leave, it's just a part of the business as a whole often times people grow up out of content or their interests change I don't expect my two-year-old needs to be following cocomelon on YouTube when she's 15. also sometimes content creators going directions that their audience don't like and their audience exerts their right is the viewing audience and leaves which is the best statement that a consumer can make.

Sean knows this and respect this and in the clothes to six maybe seven years I've been following him he has never once wanted people to send angry messages in his place. has he wanted to curse some of us out? I'm willing to bet yes honestly cuz he's only human but never has he wanted people to run into people who decided they don't want to watch him anymore and guilt trip them.

you literally hurt his chances of getting those people back if they should ever come back and you end up painting a bad picture of the fandom and making everyone in it look bad and a little bit crazy. you do not gain any favor from Sean and you will never guilt anyone into staying subscribed.

Sean does not want guilt subscribers he does not want people staying subscribe to him because they feel bad or like they have to if they don't enjoy his content he wants them to leave that's their right.

So just knock it off.

i literally feel like I’m getting punished for being such a procrastinator

Back in 2017,I had such an overflowing energy to discuss septic egos/ mark egos ideas and stories with my friend.And because I was such a procrastinator,i never ended up drawing or making fanfics out of those storied,despite me saying stuff like “oh i should draw that”I feel like I missed so many opportunities,and this year,despite me saying I’d create more (which I still intend to do) i feel like..I’m too late.The community seems to be tearing itself from the inside,people dont want to be associated with Sean anymore (i dont wanna go into the specifics again,and honestly,i cant blame them for wanting to do that) and so many people recently would rather turn their versions of the egos into ocs rather than keep them as egos on their own (which,again,i understand,as its a different sort of outlet to use your creativity flow,so all the more power to you,im not making this post to bash people turning the egos into ocs,itd be so fucking ridiculous)But I cant help but feel so distressed by all of this.Because before,people weren’t turning away like that en masse. Like many people,I also ask myself this question.What hapenned?Why is this happening? I’d rather see people saying they lost interest and move on,rather than leaving because they resent Sean,or JSE stuff in general.It would be such a better ending to this. And now,that im planning on thinking off art events to let people go wild with their creativity with the JSE egos,people are leaving. And..it hurts.And i regret so much not starting interacting more with people sooner. I feel guilty. I’m not planning on leaving or disconnecting myself form the septic egos myself anytime soon,but its just so painful to watch. I’ll never regret joining the fandom,because through this,I was able to meet some of my best friends. (You know who you are,and I love you guys so much) It just stings so much that,a place that used to be so warm,and welcoming,and full or fun stuff is turning up like this,because of multiple factors. And I have the bad(???) habit to try and reassure EVERYONE I come across being sad regarding this situation that “hey,maybe its just a bad moment!Maybe things are super shitty right now,but since things can’t stay the same forever,surelly that must mean there’s still hope,right?” Right? But people can only stay hopeful for so long.And who can blame them? Im just..so sad,and tired. And now that i’m kicking myself in the butt so I can actually do something with the egos,and that i’m seeing what’s happening with the fandom,its like I’m being told: “Aha!Too late!You waited for too long to get moving and do something with your ideas,and now everyone is leaving because of those bad stuff happening!Its your fault for not starting to draw or write seriously earlier!!Too bad!!You should have created when things were good and stable before!Sucker” Thats literally what i’m feeling right now,and its literally eating me away. I feel a bit bad making this post after I just talked to my friends about this,and they already gave me advice,like stop going in the jse tag,and other things,but.. ... I hate making people worry because of stuff I feel,but If i keep bottling things up,its just gonna explode at some point. Im sorry for posting this in the main tag,but ..I just..I just want for those who are unaware to.. be aware of what’s happening. I really,really want people to understand. Some people don’t understand why people are upset toward Sean.Or why they’re unhappy with the community. Its simply because people who brought up genuine concerns are sometimes being bashed by others who can’t stand seeing negavitity,despite being in their right to speak about those issues in a civil manner. People who speak up get unfairly placed in the same category of those “hateful tea blogs” who treat people who still have hope in Sean/are still in the fandom as the literal devil. (and other stuff,but Im too done to talk about these blogs in depths) For a fandom that was so accepting,encouraging,and welcoming?It feels bad to see so what’s happening.I feel bad. I feel even more bad when i remember that one person,who was such a sweetheart,and so creative with the egos.What would she think of this situation if she were still here? Would she have stayed regardless?Would have she turned her versions of the egos into ocs?Would she have resented Sean and left completely?Or would she have made some uplifting and hopeful posts? I dont know.I’ll never know. i miss her. I miss the old times. ... So please..We can’t rely on jack to make everything all better in the community,it seems.So.. Please. Let people who are worried speak up in peace.Don’t put them in the same basket as those who shit on jse fans and put down sean just for the sake of putting him down. Let them speak. And please,don’t pull the “If you dont like Sean anymore than fucking leave/stop watching him if you dont like the content” when they’re literally calmly saying “Hey i dont like [x] thing Sean did recently.I’d like for him to adress this tbh!” This. This would be the first step toward a better future for the community,if you stopped doing this. Please stop driving nice people away from the fandom by doing this. Please. I want 2020 to be a good year. People should be allowed to criticize things Sean does respectfully.it does not equal hate automatically. ..This is starting to be long. So i’ll just end by saying..For those who wish to stay regardless of this amdness..Don’t hesiate to send me asks okay?..I want to keep enjoying the egos.And seeing people’s creations.I will always give feedback and reblog if i see an edit,fic,art,etc,that i like. I will get that prompt list done.I swear.In the meantime..Stay safe,keep creating and..

Be civil.

Not to be a bitter Jew but the fact so few people bring up Sean being a supporter and friend to an open anti-semite or they shrug it off when it's brought up like "well yeah that's definitely sucky but he also just, like, calls us haters -" is fucking piss boiling. Yes all his other mistakes are bad, and should be brought up but way to show how little the Jewish community matters. Jesus.

Just so I can make myself clear to people who saw my Jacksepticeye post:

Being critical of what you consume is not a bad thing. It’s important! It helps develop you as a person!

And more importantly:

You can be critical of something and still enjoy it.

They aren’t mutually exclusive! Tumblr is a shitshow of an app, doesn’t work well, and it tends to become a bunch of echo chambers! That doesn’t mean I don’t love using this app and interacting with people here!

I don’t watch a whole lot of Jacksepticeye videos, but I am subbed and I do like what I watch! But I do keep in mind that not everything is good! It’s important to be mindful.

Hey,actually,someone had said that people should come up with a tag to separate discourse and people's constructive criticism with jse stuff. i'm seeing people using "jse critical" and also,users have started to use "jse constructive critism" or "jse cc" for short,so people can blacklist both discourse and that sort of tags when they dont wanna see either of those :0 i'll be using that too

yeah that's a pretty good point, i might start doing that. cause like, yeah, it's not really discourse, it's just.... facts. ya know? fhskfhkshf ill probably use jsecrit like chris cause,,,, i be lazy (and i don't exactly be rbing stuff that's constructive lmao)

Okay but. “Dumb teenager edgy humor” as in calling things gay as an insult? That’s been homophobic since it existed like 7 years ago (in my memory that was when I noticed it). Not sure how overt things such as the last name “Gay” and being in “Gay Bay” with the predatory vibes of the game could’ve gotten past the “safe to record” brain filters, and then that and the transphobic depictions getting past the “safe to upload” brain filters. But Okay I Guess.

I am glad he realized and took it down but I still can’t see why it got uploaded in the first place.

[crankgayplays]

And, surprising NOBODY Jack is going to ignore any and all criticism towards that fuck ugly game and the surprise he actually uploaded it. Classaaayyy jack, classy and he actually liked a comment that said "I swear you never see games like this anymore, glad Jack doesn't care."

Like wow, and he wonders why the community is deteriorating. Nah tho I'm sure it's just "the haters" and "the worms in the back of his brain" okay Jack.

[crankgayplays]

Today’s mood is “friendship ended with jacksepticeye, now crankgameplays is my best friend” because holy shit Sean really should’ve known better and said “wait let’s not upload this” at some point and yet it’s balanced out in my brain by Ethan being wholesome

@antiknife made this lovely meme earlier that perfectly encapsulates my feelings jsuahsjajsjd but yes Ethan is a fuckin icon
