⚠️Follow up of this post⚠️
I came back to Address some issues I made with this post and some better explanations on some things with a now more positive mind. A kind person, @angelicwishing had pointed out some important things I didn't consider and would like to fix.
Now before I say anything else... I'm sorry for putting out controversy and anger. I'm no longer upset and have accepted that it's happened.
now to fix my mistakes and clear some things up:
it's still not ok at all to destroy someone's life over something that their VA's did years ago and have apologized for. I'm sorry I got rude about it, I wanted my point across at the time and seeing someone I like get hurt I tend to lash out. Especially when I'm already hurting, which was that case when I made that post. @gooseworx is a human, she has feelings just like you all do. Like how i do, she does deserve love, everyone does.
Now for the last part of that first paragraph. Angelic mentioned this:
"Her show is a passion project and- wait. I disagree with the last part. When making something as popular as TADC, you need a PR team. Unfortunately, she doesn't have one. And you don't need to interact with your fans every day"
@angelicwishing you have a good point, little confusing for me because I don't know what a PR Team is or how they work. But you're right, one doesn't have to interact with Fans every day, when you have a small community it is fun but when it gets to TADC level it's impossible by yourself. Now personally for me I love interacting with my fans(?) So I understand why Goose does it. I also want to mention that when I said "She made a wonderful show people love and tried to just interact with her fans like a normal person and you all get the biggest hate boner because of something that doesn't matter anymore."
I meant that I noticed when she interacts with her Fans, occasionally people get unhappy with what she says, which I get it you have your own opinions that's ok. I was upset about that because it seemed like almost everything she said got turned against her.. the whole "who cares?" Comment solidified that for me at the time, which now I understand that wasn't allways the case, I think. What I'm saying is I'm more open about it now and am willing to listen and understand instead of lash out.
And the whole "hate over something that doesn't matter anymore" was referring to the racist joke and how it was a long time ago and not realavent to bring up for attacking Goose because apologies were already said in the past. Not to mention, again still not Goose's fault.
now, with this statement I made:
""Oh she worked with people who made racist jokes wah wah she is racist for working with them!"
That was 7 fucking years ago and Michael and Ashley both apologized several times and have became better people!!!!! That has nothing to do with Goose, for fucks sake I was friends with a racist for almost 2 years! But I'm not racist, I don't hate on people for having a different skin color! GOOSE IS NOT RACIST SHE HAS EVEN STATED SHE ISN'T! And who cares if she's Trans! That's her choice not yours! Nether is what she makes HER characters do in HER show. You all care more about a fictional character than an actual person with actual feelings. Do you not realize how convoluted and fucked up that is!?"
most of this statement still stands but I'd like to change a few things.
So here's the statement rewritten:
"In summary of what i've read and heard about it essentially went like this:
"Oh she worked with people who made racist jokes wah wah she is racist for working with them!"
Now that was 7 years ago when those comments were made and Michael and Ashley both apologized several times and have became better people since then. We should be proud of the healthy change instead of getting upset over the past and hurting someone else and them because of it. The racist joke issue that was already solved years ago has nothing to do with Goose, so we shouldn't be attacking anyone because of a mistake in the past. Now you see, I was friends with a racist for almost 2 years. I knew he was racist... mostly, he played it off as a joke during that time but I know now that he was being serious unfortunately. But that doesn't make me a racist because I was buddies with one, I don't hate on people for having a different skin color, it's not right, they are just like us, human. They have feelings too and should be treated as equals. See what im getting at? Gooseworx is not racist for working with someone who made jokes in the past. Gooseworx has also stated several times she's not racist! And yes she is Trans, now I personally don't agree with that becuse of my beliefs, but I am still willing to respect her even if I don't respect the decision. Now GOD says to love the person, hate the sin, and I am forever going by that and you guys should too. Not forcing you to btw, just a suggestion. It really helps make a difference in life and make things better. Now Goose being trans is her choice even if you don't agree... and nether is what she makes her own characters do in her show. When I said "You all care more about a fictional character than an actual person with actual feelings." What I was trying to say is that I, and several others noticed that people were getting upset over what and how she made her characters act and do and were more upset about their favorite character's development or what the character(s) did than caring about Goose's feelings and how the harsh comments were making her feel. And now I kinda feel like i'm not getting this point across like how I imagined it so I'm going to sum it up here real quick because it's bothering me...
So essentially I meant in that sentence that people were upset over what she made her characters do to where they hurt her feelings over a character that isn't real and that they seemed to care more about their fictional characters feelings than the creator who was suffering from their harsh words.
Again from angelicwishing's helpful criticism,
"How is it fucked up and convoluted to care about a fictional character? We can care for Gooseworx, acknowledge she's a human being, but we can also say that her characters can be badly written, her show can be fast-paced in a bad way, and many other criticisms that are not straight-up hating her."
it's not messed up and convoluted to care about a fictional character, I legit was Sobbing earlier after witnessing my favorite character from a different show die. And I've been so worried my for my favorite characters in this show because I have yet to see Episode 9 and every day it worries me. It's ok to care for a character, I wasn't trying to say its not. Was trying to say that It's not ok however to put a character's feelings over an actual person.
Now I know it's ok to give her constructive criticism, i'm also not saying it's bad. I had just noticed how people were a lot more rude.. about it. But that's also my fault for not doing more research on the positive criticism (which is a thing despite what my therapist said lol) also I never really realized the show was fast paced till now, I was so distracted with the visuals, story, characters and jokes. But that's ok because it's been an awesome ride so far. I'm still absolutely terrified for ep 9 tho.
This uhhh... paragraph...
"She is trying her fucking best right now and all you people do is hate her because you're a bunch of pussys who can't seem to get your heads out of your asses!"
I take back what I said. I'm sorry that I said those things, that wasn't ok. I do believe Goose is trying her best though.
"You people just hate on every good thing you possibly can, Caine was right, all you do is hate and act spoiled. If you're gonna hate someone or something go hate on fucking Epstine, Dav4d, terrorists, pedophiles, Diddy, pollution, deforestation, etc! Not a woman who has done nothing wrong! This damn situation is killing me, all this hate towards Goose is making me actually want to kill myself and I'm not even the one being targeted."
the first sentence... people can be spoiled and rude but not everyone so I'm sorry if it sounded like that'd what I was saying... and again from Angel:
"First of all, have you ever heard of a thing called critique? Not just mindless hate? And why would you even try to deflect the critique she is rightfully getting and tell us we should hate something else instead? By the way, all these people and things you mention are already hated. And yes, Gooseworx has done wrong. She is not perfect, yes, but to say she did nothing wrong is silly. Second, don't kill yourself, please. I understand how the situation and Gooseworx may be affecting you, but... don't do it."
i have heard of critique, I want to clarify that again, I was not in an ok mindset when I wrote this and I hated the world at the time and thought everyone was against her so I got aggressive and again I'm sorry. And It's not ok to hate at all, severe dislike yes but hate? No. I'm sorry I said that, that wasn'tok of me... Now I'm not too sure what Goose did wrong or why she is getting rightfully critiqued (still haven't watched ep 9 so please don't spoil it for me) I've only seen the positive stuff about her aside from the criticism and backlash I heard about. And no, she's not perfect, nobody is, sometimes I forget that. You're right to say she did nothing wrong is silly, everyone's done something wrong in their life idk why I didn't think of that at the time.
And I'm ok now Friend, sorry for the scare... I'm doing so much better now after getting admitted to a mental institution for a bit. So ya I didn't try to kill myself, just.. kinda spiralled from the stress and anger and a ton of other things and hurt my body alot. But again, I'm all ok now.
"for the haters....You all are sick assholes for hurting someone innocent for your own amusement and personal gain. Grow the fuck up and get a damn life."
Im also sorry for what I said here. Again I forgot positive criticism was a thing at the time and a better message for the unhappy people:
Please don't hurt other people for your own fun or gain, and if that's not what you're doing and you're just critiquing, please remember that what you say can hurt people. Like how I've hurt people by making that post. It's not cool to be mean, you can make the world better no matter who you are.
Also last few notes before I finish this....
Angel, I knew I was on tadc critical... I did not know that the people I previously called "haters" were on there tho which again I'm sorry about to all the people I hurt.... I didn't mean to be so rude... I don't like being rude... I was so upset at the time I wasn't thinking straight and I deeply apologize. Now this isn't an excuse I just wanted to mention this as an explanation to why I acted that way:
Not only was the whole situation upsetting me, but the racist "friend" I had destroyed how I saw humanity after he stabbed me in the back at my weakest moment. And that had made me think everyone mean were like him. Which I know know they're not. And so therapy helped me realize that, being with other people my age so lessons learned there yippie!
Again though, I apologize for my actions, I hope you all have a wonderful Day/Night & if I made any mistakes on this or if you all have commentary, please share it with me so I can fully fix this to the best of my abilities, Thank you 💜
