hello gordon freeman simps. i have come to join the ranks
adam causing tadashi to flinch BUT instead touching him gently + using presumably his own hair gel to fix dashi's hair for him + praising him for freely giving his own opinion + rewarding him with a second playful touch and a smile
AND
tadashi lying to ainosuke when he asks (in his own adam way) if he enjoyed his morning off BUT allowing adam to touch him Twice + not hesitating to give his opinion on how S should be run + wearing the most unguarded expression the whole time + smiling back at him
im mixed. half white, and half black.
for the longest time, this made me feel like my opinion on matters such as police brutality and racism didnt matter; half of me was the one doing the oppressing, after all. i felt like i had no right to speak out about these issues cause i was only half-worthy, being only half black. and no, im not saying this to throw a pity party or for anyone to feel bad for me cause i "cant come to terms with my identity" or whatever. im saying this because that mindset i had was stupid. stupid and insensitive and wrong. not being fully black, not being black at all, does not exempt us from speaking out against the violence that black people face.
yes, we should always put the voices of the black community before our own, as they are the ones who have to experience this brutality, but that doesnt mean we just get to sit and stay quiet, claiming that we've already done our part. we need to listen, understand, and ACT. sitting around and saying "oh it breaks my heart that this is happening" or "just because i don't say anything doesnt mean i dont care" doesnt mean shit. the only thing it means is that youre part of the problem. staying quiet is not and will never be an acceptable option
reblog a post to spread awareness, donate a couple bucks, do something. shit like this cant keep happening. we shouldnt allow it to keep happening.
once black lives matter, then, and only then, will all lives matter
(and no dont take this as a way to fuel your savior-complex. support the cause but dont expect to be praised once youve done it. do it because it matters to you, not because you want the congratulatory pats on the back)
Okay, hot take? Bisexual and pansexual are functionally synonyms, and the decision to ID as one or the other comes down to personal preference and interpretation, and any attempt to further separate the two is driving a wedge between two communities that should have nothing but love and solidarity for one another.
We have more in common than not, and the words for our respective identities should not be pitted against each other.
The toxicity in this fandom/community needs to stop.
Jshlatt got doxed 8 times. People have tried to dox dream twice. Thunder1408/Jack Manifold took a break because of all of this as far as I’m aware. Wilbur Soot ended stream early because of chat.
The fact that I can go to a friend and say “Jshlatt got doxed again” and they wont even hesitate to believe me disgusts me. Its sad its a norm here.
All of its a bit. They all have personas. Learn how to separate their persona from the person. Learn how to respect the person. Learn how to be a decent person with morals and common sense.
Don’t send death threats to creators over bits. Its honestly sad I have to say it. Grow up.
And while we’re still on the topic, respect their goddamn boundaries. Before you write fanfiction or draw art see what they are okay with being drawn in or written as and what they are not okay with.
Example: Eret, Schlatt, Tommy, Tubbo, etc aren’t okay with shipping. Wilbur Soot doesn’t want to be put in NSFW works, as do many other people. Just because the dream team is okay with everything doesn’t mean the rest of the smp is. Do your research.
If a creator doesn’t wanna be treated a certain way, do no treat them like that. Tommy, Tubbo and Dream don’t want to be babied. Don’t treat them as such. nothing more to it.
While I’m still here it’d be best to say it, don’t shame creators for their body types or draw them completely wrong because of the excuse of “his mc skin”. Doesn’t work. Don’t shame Sapnap for being chubby, don’t shame Fundy for being skinny, don’t white wash Skeppy in art, etc.
You’re like fourteen. A creator is not going to date you. I don’t know why it has to be said. Do not send hate to the ladies or gentlemen they date. that is their life and its good enough they trust us enough to share that.
Don’t look for a creators personal info. Just don’t. Its disrespectful, its creepy, and it can even be dangerous for them in some cases. (cough cough dream cough cough) (there are many examples, I just think a good one is dream)
Don’t talk about other streams during a certain cc’s stream unless they ask. Don’t try to tell your streamer to do something else than what they are doing in their stream already? Don’t wanna watch a minecraft stream? Wanna see cc play among us? Switch streams. Watch vods.
My lovely og minecraft watchers out there, as someone whos watched mcyts for literal years, I think its time to say, do not send hate to newer watchers. Just because they started later than you does not make them a “fake fan”.
One last thing to say. The fact that creators have to tell off their chats for being toxic so much disgusts me. Don’t try to derail a stream because of something another streamer is doing. Don’t say toxic stuff when a creator is doing a bit. DO NOT SEND THEM DEATH THREATS OVER SOME SORT OF BIT. Have respect and have common sense. Grow up.
I know this wont get to the millions of people in the fandom/community but, to those who it did get to, just have some respect and decency. Its not hard.
Lets try to do better guys. We need to.
You ever just draw?
