#doomers will be blocked don't even start with me

[insectfem]

genuinely the amount of UNTAGGED graphic rape threats (from anons and whatnot) radfems on here will post is really, like, weird to me. I've fortunately never faced sexual violence before, so it's not a trigger for me personally, but even I get viscerally uncomfortable reading them. I stop once I realize what I'm reading but it's not like I can know what a post is about *before* I start reading it. what makes it especially weird to me is that you would think *radical feminists* of all people would understand how triggering those things can be to *other fellow women*. and some of them will tag "male/moid tw" (which I don't have a problem with) if a post has a man in it but not the graphic depictions of freaking rape? like??? honestly objectively speaking one of those things is clearly worse and more triggering than the other. begging radfems to tag their shit.

tbh i feel like there's this huge doomerism problem on radblr. they just go LOOK LOOK AT ALL THIS TERRIBLE STUFF PEOPLE SAY AND DO TO WOMEN!!!! like okay, i looked at it, i read it, now i feel dirty and slightly triggered, what now??

there's no call to action. not like there even CAN be. we can't go through the laptop screen and kill the person making rape threats. a mutual of mine posted today like "block and report (account), they've been sending me disturbing anons and harrasing me and others. i have proof if yall want it but i won't post it" and that's EXACTLY how we should be treating these people. they WANT us to be scared, they WANT us to be uncomfortable, they WANT to trigger us. by reposting screenshots, youre playing into their game. you're triggering more women and girls. you're doing e x a c t l y what they want. good fucking job.

and i do think it's crazy how women on here will tag #TW male or self-flaggelate when they talk about men or male partners or male characters and then the next post is a graphic description of rape or a horrific news story about femicide.

i don't understand what yall think yallre accomplishing by creating this echochamber of look at how evil men are look at these evil actions look at this rape threat look look look. we already KNOW how evil men are, we're on RADBLR. literally WHAT are you doing other than just making women and girls uncomfortable

Howdy, spooky. Gonna use another anon identifier because I saw the sophist clip and the comparisons with projared and I feel like I have to put my two cents about this.

Even when projared was at his worst, he knew which hands that fed him he shouldn't bite. I was a somewhat known account in the asagao academy/hidden block/normal boots fandoms back in the day, and most if not all of these gamer guys had a Tumblr account. They knew a big part of their audience was queer and neurodivergent teens. And even when Projared was having the worst time of his life playing Undertale, I at least don't remember seeing him scoff at or downplay undyne and alphyst relationship.

He didn't like that the game forced him to go full pacifist to get the good ending, and he found some of the characters annoying, but from what I remember he never was openly queerphobic. There's a lot of things that you can throw at his sailor moon dressed ass (being a creep, his mushroom looking dick, not checking who he was letting into his nsfw discord) but he at least wasn't a queerphobe. Holy (his new partner) is poly herself.

Sophist seems to not understand that. He's been doing this for three years (his own admission) and still doesn't get that biting the hand that feeds you is not a good move. As you've said Vern's is his friend and Nick too. If he's not wanting to be queer friendly at least he should listen to his business friend about how to handle these topics.

Is this disappointing? Yes. But does this only fuels my spite and makes me wanna do more polycrashers fan content in the hopes he finds it and pisses him off? Also yes.

(Also, Sophist. Girls don't date because you're ugly (far from it) or a nerd. They don't date you because of the doomer cloud you bring everywhere. Go to therapy, get some antidepressants, touch more grass and meet new people outside the internet. Or you could keep doomscrolling and jacking off to hentai while lamenting not having a girlfriend. Your choice.)

Have a good weekend Spooky, and thank you for what you do.

I was gonna name you woody because either the howdy reminded me of a cowboy and that Brent Toy Story vocal stim +undertale off theory was stuck in my head.

But your anon signifier is a salt shaker. I will name you. Flowey, cause hes salty lil flower and he says howdy

If you want a queer fanbase. You gotta be nice to queer people im sorry but it’s just how it works.

My thing is. If he don’t like poly people…. Just… shut up? Why would you even say that. Nobody asked you? All your doing is losing yourself followers and good faith? The one thing u decide to me honesy about.

Form a strictly buisness standpoint sophist if you dont like poly people fucking LIE. You made a persona to hide your true feelings why would the one thing your reveal be what damages your career god you are the most self destructive disaster I��ve ever seen. Well. Seen compare to dsmp but you had to have 2 mental illness and agree to have a tramuatic event happen to you to be on the dsmp so they don’t count it’s not fair.

From a purely logical and buisnes perspective, angering your core audience is a bad move. Angering your core audience and then not having another to immediately pivot into is also a shit fucking move.

Pc main audience is connected to a very special part of the gaming sphere, it’s why dsmp often overlaps with them, they also overlap with alpharad/dougdoug/failboat/smallant and all thier collaborators.

Basicalky queer/marginalized creatives who want a safe place to like games. A lot of the gamer sphere is full of gamer bros who hate everything “woke” so a big chunk has been carved out for the marganlizrd to enjoy games without worry of bigotry or harassment. and alot of these creators naturally starts acting woker (be it thier actual views or not) to fit in and benefit from this space. Alpharad prob the biggest but he’s openly queer himself, dsmp was real big and created a giant marganilizrd market. Doug Doug has slowly but surely (despite some. Deviseive views on ai) has gotten woker and more of a safe space of more of his chat revealed themselves to be marganilizrd.

Pc grabbed a big chunk of this market and it’s about 70% of thier audience. They have the typical gamer bro but not enough to tip any scales. They are firmly in this space and have had to learn to cope with it.

Vern fully embaces it and if probably best off with this outcome

Nick enjoys us but the Kai cenat audience.. I know he thinks of it

Idk if Brent has noticed

And sophist didn’t create a sona for Kai cenat fans now did he? No it was for the creative queers.

All of them benefits and its thier best fit to be in this queer spear and they’ve all changed and adapted to it.

From a completely buisness standpoint. . Pandering to the queers and not upsetting them is the best buisness move. Why sophist in any universe would risk upsetting who pays his bills is completely ridiculous and he would know this if he listened to nicks buisness advice about anything. It’s stupid at best and a self destruction spiral at worst.

Sophist dosnet have another fanbase to pivot into. If your gonna alienate one audience u need a audience willing to catch you. The one crasher I can see successfully switching to a solely gamer bro audience is Brent cause that’s what most of his audience is now. If you have ever gone into the Wild West he calls a discord you will see that. They like that he’s good at games they dont care about any of extra stuff. Though I dont think Brent would alienate his queer audience. Not only would he just have. No motivation to do that. if he don’t like us now imagine when it’s just gamer bros, he gets mildly annoyed at pc fans but dosent really care about the art or fanworks imagine if it was all gamer bro trying to debate fucking speed running or balance patches with him. He’s blow his hairline clean off like I think he perfers his wierd annoying queers. Who will cower back when he growls at them instead of thinking it’s funny a proaking him further like all gamer bros would

Nick could probably pivot too but as much as he wants cool gamer bros fans he really wants that fanart that makes him look hot too i dont think hed last to long without us.

Sophist could not pivot the same. Hes not particularly good at any game besides pizza tower or league and his style of jokey cartoony commentary is much more aligned with the gamer safe space style of humor.

And god forbid he right wing grifts. Grifters think men owning cats is woke propaganda and anti grifter people start doxxing grifters the 4th time they see them on thier fyp sophist dont got the heat for this type of environment.

Nick would be perfect to go to buisness advice too and nick would prob tell him “do what those damn queers want they pay our bills”

This dissapointed me but we’re not new to sophist crit around here everyone always had a kinda bad feeling. My hopes with him are never too high

More poly crashers. More poly prompts, more poly song posts. The poly fans will not be silenced. Then funniest part is he is so bad at confrontation with his fanbase he gonna have to sit there mad about it. sorry you have 3 boyfriends and you all wear matching rings. Gonna have to take off that mask and yell at us directly doomer boy. And I ain’t no bitch if he gotta talk to anyone here he can talk directly to me and I got some shit to say.

Sophist so surrounded by otaku nerd gooner basement culture he think he one of them nerds who needs a anime waifu who will love him. No sophist you look hot, and you can also dress nice. And you dont look like a hot mess like most weebs do. Just fucking delete league of ledgends and take a walk in the park. Go meet girls at conventions. Fucking go to nerd conventions, join a dnd club and go camping with em idk dude just quit rotting in that damn room and maybe u can have two gfs and a couple boyfriends while your at it.

thank u for thanking me, someone gotta hold all the communities complaints in one place. Like a news station, how else would people know when the guys are being annoying

"I wish I wasn't living in a verse of 'We Didn't Start the Fire' every week"

That's.... that's literally the song though?

[qqueenofhades]

Super tempted to start blocking anyone who reblogs one of my posts about current events with "nothing's going to happen to Trump though" or "don't get your hopes up :(" or whatever else defeatist nonsense. Because:

YOU DON'T KNOW THAT! LAST WEEK NONE OF YOU PEOPLE WOULD EVER HAVE PREDICTED A GODDAMN FBI RAID ON MAR-A-LAGO EITHER!

Nobody knows what is going to happen, but it sure seems increasingly likely that SOMETHING will. We do not know what that is, or who will be the first to do it, but it is drastically less likely than it was at the start of the year that that will be "nothing."

You're not "keeping reasonable expectations," you're just being contrarian naysayer gloom-and-doomers just because you like to bash Democrats for Not Doing Anything.

I am, and have been, likewise considerably skeptical of Garland. I have expressed doubt that he wants to fight the battle he was inevitably stuck with doing (saving American democracy, no pressure). But if you presumably WANT him to do his job as much as I do, why all this moaning and groaning and automatic assumption that he won't, and conditioning people to expect and accept failure?

If the unsealed search warrant reveals that Trump was trafficking in, or attempting to traffic in, sharing top-secret documents with foreign powers, like his good friend Vlad, he is FUCKED.

There are clearly defined legal penalties for espionage and selling classified information to hostile foreign powers. This isn't a case of "whether they personally feel like it." There is a solid legal basis to put him away for a LONG time on those grounds, even before all the treason.

Anyway. You get blocked if you reblog a post just to be a pissy dick to me, or bash the Democrats just because, or whatever, but yeah, I've had just about enough of "nothing is gonna happen :( :( :(" after the literal first-ever raid of a former president's house on capital federal charges. Oy.
