this post is a lot more serious than my usual posts, but i feel like all of this needs to be said.
this post will contain more opinion based topics that can be quite controversial in the minecraft community. if you can handle reading my opinions without leaving hate, you may continue to read this post.
if you can not, please scroll away now. hate comments and other related things will be deleted.
nothing on here is specifically supposed to be hate towards anyone in particular, just how i feel about certain things.
one more time: TW opinions
so the first topic for me specifically refers to lifesteal smp and unstable smp, but i’m pretty sure this is a thing outside of these fandoms. i am, of course, talking about mcyt shipping and boundaries.
people have boundaries. it’s a normal thing. you have boundaries. i have boundaries. it’s fine.
so why does it become a problem when it’s mcyt?
if your boundaries were being broken by someone, you’d probably feel uncomfortable. i know i would. and if these youtubers are uncomfortable with being shipped, why are you still doing it?
people make the argument that it’s “about the characters not the CCs”. and while, sure, it’s about the characters they portray, these characters are an extension of them. and besides, if they request that their character not be shipped, don’t do it!
also, these are PEOPLE. real people. and i know sometimes it’s easy to forget when you only see them behind a screen, but they are people. they have feelings, emotions, and opinions. please just respect them like you would any other person.
if you are ever confused on a boundary, the internet does exist to look these things up. so “i didn’t know” isn’t usually a valid excuse for breaking boundaries.

the next thing i’m going to talk about is youtube comments.
specifically, these ones: “_____ found their password” , “_________ finally uploaded” , “____: vacation arc” , and other similar comments.
can we not think of anything else to say?
i’m going to stress again that these are real people. who have lives outside of content creation.
maybe they’re on a trip.
maybe they’ve been struggling with creative burnout.
maybe they’re taking a break.
IT DOESNT MATTER.
they are people. and they deserve to have a life outside of people tagging them in posts like “@____ please upload 🙏🙏🙏”
these people make content because they enjoy it. and yes, they are getting paid and yes, they are probably doing it for the money, they are making content that they know the viewers enjoy. and what are we paying them back with? comments written by eight year olds and hate?
please.
these are real people. with real emotions and feelings.
think twice before you write something.

this next topic is something i don’t know too much about, but i still want to address it.
and that is of course whatever was happening at vidcon.
i’ve only seen a few stream clips and read some posts about what was happening, so im going to keep this vague to avoid spreading any form of misinformation.
if you ever meet someone who you follow online or in person, please just again keep in mind that these are people. i can not stress this enough. and i know ive said it so many times. but its the truth.
telling a person that you really like their content and appreciate them making it: okay!
telling someone you’re obsessed with them and being generally creepy: not okay.
think twice before you do something.
and remember that if you wouldn’t want someone saying that to you, don’t say it to them.

this next topic does surround the entire minecraft community, not just smp stuff.
specifically these kinds of comments: “fix bedrock” , “when is the next update” , “this update lowkey sucks” , and other comments similar to this.
why are we so ungrateful?
minecraft is a game for everyone. that’s what mojang has been trying to do.
we get four updates a year.
four.
and we’re still like “this update sucks! i want an end update!”
like sure, i also would like an end update at some point. but yelling at mojang to fix the end instead of just letting them make their game is very annoying.
and yes, i know mojang tries its best to take the community’s suggestions into consideration, but trying to force them to update something is so stupid when you could just download a mod.
also the dappled forest is freaking awesome wdym
some updates will appeal to the builders of minecraft. some updates will appeal to the pvpers. some updates will appeal to the redstoners. and that’s okay.
let them make their game! please.
also worth mentioning is bedrock edition.
i am a bedrock player.
i don’t own a pc.
and while i definitely agree with the fact that bedrock edition is not the best, i kind of enjoy its quirks.
there are some things that i wish we had in bedrock. but there are things that only exist in bedrock that i would really miss if they were gone.
so asking mojang on EVERY SINGLE YOUTUBE SHORT to “fix bedrock” is stupid.
also it’s the top comment on everything. stop. please.
i’m not saying i disagree with you. i do think that bedrock is laggy and buggy. but that’s part of the bedrock experience. and it always makes me laugh when i discover a new glitched structure or odd terrain generation.

one last thing before i go.
i understand that everything ive been talking about in this post is not coming from every single person in this community.
we have a very loud minority of people who make things a larger problem than they need to be.
if you are a part of that loud minority, i would like you to take a second before you leave your next comment. before you make your next post. and just think to yourself. “these are real people.”
because they are. they are real people.
everyone at mojang. real people.
mcyters. real people.
you. real person.
me. real person.
one of my dreams since i was eight years old was to become a minecraft youtuber.
i still wish this could be my reality.
but one of the reasons i haven’t is because of everything i see happening in this community.
and to everyone else who agrees with me and is respectful (there are a lot of you!), thank you.

one last disclaimer:
i am not trying to make anyone look perfect or not acknowledge anyone else’s faults.
nobody is perfect, and i understand that.
i am trying to point out places that we could work on as a community.
I kind of think that because Flame and Wemmbu have more PVP focused content they get classified as idiots. This is important to me and yes its another thing I'm complaining about because I fucking can.
Part of Flame's entire character arc was not only getting stronger in terms of technicalities, but also in terms of battle strategy. There are crazy plays where he's locked the hell in and hes coming up with stuff on the fly. I think that like dropping him into the jock category because he's pvp centered is lowkey shallow. This guys a nerd if anything. He spends about 8 episodes trying to learn more and y'all hit a highschool AU with a jock FlameFrags. THIS GUYS NOT STUPID :< (Yes I could talk about the racism involved in this stereotype but I'm tryna be lighthearted)
More on Wemmbu because I think people don't make him insanely smart because most of his weapons were found and when he's finding shit in the farlands and stuff he always has egg around him so people put that kind of smartness in the group on egg. I feel like this is lacking in the lore aspect because if we're really thinking about it, this guy built his own orbital in the beginning of the server. It was what he used to impress spoke and blow up the Zam empire. He didn't do that shit with Farlands tech, he built it. Wemmbus gonna be your techy kid in the back of the class that hotwired his computer so the teacher can't see what the hell hes playing and so that he can play dumbass video games the whole time.
No this isn't important, yes I'd write a fic about Wemmbu making his own orbital if I knew how to piece words together in a comprehensive sentence.
