i am but a humble autistic who loves mob psycho and i want mob to win (another) autism tumblr poll tournament, so please VOTE FOR MOB!!!! he's so wholesome and autistic-coded, vote for him on @autistic-hc-bracket's poll. LOOK AT HIM, HE'S JUST A LITTLE GUY
I have loved Undertale and Papyrus for years and only started watching mp100 yesterday, but if papyrus wins the autism swag summit I will be a little upset
I feel like this is important to say regarding the current @autismswagsummit situation. (also tagging @autismswagreblogs)
From what we're aware of, two of the current Semifinalists (Donnie and Mob) have been accused of voter fraud. The poll runner responded to a few different asks about it, before coming to this decision;
There is no reason to accuse voter fraud if it's false, or to partake in it if it's true. Guys, this is a friendly competition, composed of characters we feel are portrayed well with autism, or we headcanon has autism. This isn't a battle to determine which fandom gets to see more of the source the character comes from. It doesn't mean the end of Rise or Mob Psycho or Undertale or Sonic. It just means those characters gave it their all. Like, jesus christ, all four of these guys made it to the Semifinals! That should be a celebration of itself, that your favorite character made it past all the others. It's good on op, making this decision. No matter what happens, a character will lose, and if we keep making empty accusations, then there's no winning for either Mob or Donnie. They will both be disqualified and, if op ever decides to host a second autism swag summit, i doubt either of them will make a return. Not only because of the allegations and toxicity from both fandoms but also because this has most likely put a ton of stress on op.
as not only rise fans, but as a system with a lot of rise-sourced alters, we are very disappointed in this fandom for immediately jumping the gun without proof. yes, it is suspicious, but to be shouting things without proof makes you seem like a sore loser and we haven't even lost yet. We are also disappointed that everyone immediately decided that if Mob is cheating we might as well too.
Don't fight fire with fire. If one side is cheating, let your side remain pure. If you lose, at least you lose knowing you gave it your all without being the same people the other team is. If you win without cheating, then, genuinely, we're proud of you, and best of luck in the finals.
But we need to address this.
Rise fans, winning won't give you a season 3.
Mob fans, winning won't give you a season 4.
Winning this is just for fun. It will do nothing to bring those medias back. Maybe it will, someday, but not with this competition. Yes, the reach os spreading to other people because of this competition! but thats not because you're winning, its because op, who designed this event, and let your character in because people wanted to see them.
Fight fair. Fight respectfully. Treat op the respect they deserve, too, because goddamn do they deserve it for putting up with this shit today. And no matter how this ends, whichever team loses should shake hands with the other and say, "we did our best, and so did you. now good luck in the finals, i wish you best of luck."
