Stella's "Development"
Stolas seems to have this list of "why you can't be mad at him," which is just writers trying to defend their own ugly morals by using things that often don't apply to them so they can say, "Nuh, uh, you just don't like him because of XY and Z."
Moving on to Stella, all of her "development" consists of giving Stolas empathy points. Stella hasn't even had a conversation with Via. Stolas mistreat Blitz? Well, Stella hits him. Well Stolas has daddy issues, but Stella has been evil since she was born. Stolas is a villian? Stella's attempting to murder him. She is used to make Stolas look better in comparison. Because what would we have without the excuse-based shit?
A noble's youngest daughter who was forced into a marriage with a man she didn't love and was forced to have a kid with, who again she had to give birth to. Her husband is higher up in society than her and her family, so she has to remain with him despite she hates him. Also finding out that her husband had been repeatedly cheating on to her, the MOTHER of his child, while also risking Via's future by giving his daughter's heirloom to a stranger he met once when he was younger, endangering their daughters future. And then after the affair is exposed, no one cares, showcasing his elevated status by how little anyone challenges him. He can cheat without consequence because She is unable to leave him, due to her lower social class, the divorce would take away her life, status, and connection to her daughter—who AGAIN she was forced to have with this man—and her knowledge that she had no choice but to stay with him.
Like this is a royal hiarchy in hell; no way a woman could divorce her husband, let alone be respected if she did.
Think of the situation the characters find themselves and the potential reasons behind their actions rather than only taking in the perspectives of others about them. (That doesn't means she can abuse her husband.) But she is not this tyrannical, evil, all-powerful being that they portray her as. Considering she doesn't have much standing, why else wouldn't she have divorce him?
"Oh she likes tormenting him" is dumb—just something evil they wanted her to say to prevent people from empathizing because an attack on Stolas is an attack on Viv because Stolas is only a puppet. She chooses the plot and what role he plays in it. A character may do actions of a villian but the perspective their given shows where the creators morals lie.
Also on my account i have reposted links to GoFundMe's that could be life or death to people every bit counts if you dont have five dollars you can venmo @artisticantics on youtube they donate the money from the venue as a lump-sum.
Thank you for your time.

the only evidence-- yes, these kinds of claims need evidence-- of marinin being racist i can find is in one tumblr post that has a screenshot of marinin being upset about getting a lot of aggressive comments for working on the cleopatra MAP. she did a map part- a 5 second animation- and got called a piece of shit by dozens of people, but i guess she's not allowed to be stressed? not to mention she is a person of color. but i doubt you knew that, because that would require you to take a second look at the situation rather than regurgitating rumors. it's just so sickening how badly people in this community seem to want to turn on each other. but i guess it's all worth it if you're making all the people of color feel very safe... by endorsing the harassment of a poc for making an animation you don't like. you're definitely making me feel very safe as a disabled person. i love knowing that characters like me should be relegated to inspo p*rn. love seeing people attack a creator for arbitrary reasons and then say "hehe see! i care so much about disabled people!". i love seeing that my opinion only matters when i'm agreeing with you and otherwise i'm just an idiot stan. i dont even follow marinin's content. it's just so stressful knowing what she's going through and how rabid the warrior cats fandom is. its scary, honestly. making art online seems like my only realistic way of making money and the thought that one tumblr post with shaky evidence could get me harassed for literal years is scary.
ok first off i need you to fucking stop making assumptions abt me bc i know of marinin just forgot all the bullshit they did. i dont knkw u and u sure as hell dont know me so the fact that in both ur shit asks youre comming up with false ideals just to show ur support to someone who has done bad over and over again is telling. secondly stop babying them just bc theyre brazilian its so wekrd u have to keep mentioing tht they are not exempt from being a shithead just bc theyre a poc lol theyre a fucking human which is evident in their actions. and you do not speak for every fucking disabled person bc i assure you disabled ppl were the ones that brought the issue w the tawny pelt map to light. and as a disabled black person fuck you literally the map was in bad taste and she responded in a terrible way its not tht hard to accept.
and if u really did some reasearch youd be aware that she was taking from native cultures, handled the issue tawnypelt map Badly, and she was literally deleting comments explaining how her actions were ableist and only responding to/liking the comments of ppl siding w her but yeah im biased and mean for acknoweding any of this. shes also literally friends w shit ppl and While searching im literally seeing her subject several minors to harassment solely for. adressing her ableist map in a chat and on their accs.and this was fucking not that long ago why arent you pissing yourself over the ppl discussing tht
and idk if you dont think a guilt trippy belittling responses to being held accountable isnt a red flag hm
the fact that you have to utilize this person being brazilian and upset about the process of facing accountability in Both asks as a way to make Me somehow brush off everything else is fucked up. no its not cool they were harassed but if u equate ppl bothered by her actions as harassment or hating poc then. that sounds more like a u issue.
literally. stop making this about a shitty animation stop minimizing the harm shes influencing. this is more than a fucking map ppl dont like this is abt someone who is obviously not fit for a huge following and you are proving that point gn

X's And Bones: The Creator's Work Station
Chapter 2: Added Traits for Souls
THE UNIQUE COLORS AND TRAITS: (67.9% of Souls have at least 1-2 sub traits around the main Trait {1 of the main 7 traits above}, which empower and alter the soul a bit. Traits can be changed with enough time, effort, therapy, guildance, care, etc. They can also change negatively with accidents, fights, traumatic experiences, etc. All Souls can change, but it takes a lot to do so either way.
These traits can be seen as blended rings around the core trait, flecks of them scattered on the soul, one trait covering one half and the other on the other side, etc. This is dependent on the person and their soul.
________________________________________________________
Prism - Creativity : These souls cannot stop creating (art, writing, crafts, cooking, baking, etc) They are imaginative and full of ideas. Their soul shines with all the colors in the light, but the colors are a shiny metallic version of the colors. Can make your soul weapon do some creative things.
Bronze - Heroic : These souls wish to help everyone and everyone, especially if it means saving the day (of that person!) They are the stuff Superheroes are made out of. Makes your attack stronger, especially during moments where you can be a hero.
Slate gray - Distrust : These souls have been betrayed in the past, and now are very wary of all people and creatures. They take a while to warm up to people, if at all. Increases defense, and makes it hard for soulmarks to be seen.
Moss Green - Envy : These type of people become possessive, jealous, and are very protective of what they consider theirs. They don't share well, and will sometimes, if the feeling overpowers the soul, will KILL for what they want. When fighting for something they want or protecting what is their's, their attacks will stick more, be more accurate.
Seafoam Green - Friendliness: These people are friendly and are always open for a conversation. Upbeat, kind, and always ready to make a new friend, they are the type to have huge crowds of friends. When around more friends, their stats will be boosted slightly.
Bubblegum Pink - Confidence: These people are charismatic, talkative, and are always front and center of the stage. Ready when you are, camera man! These folks can have more unique ACTS than normal folks.
Aegean Blue - Depression: These souls tend to have sadness in their life, which makes them constantly full of sorrow and depressed. Not all who have depression have this soul, but those who have it usually had a long standing, far reaching sad experience in childhood that made them more susceptible to getting it. Brings down attack and HP, but increases defense.
Lavender Purple - Curiosity: These are people filled with questions, and wonder what is out there. They want to discover whats around the corner, and can't handle surprises or anyone holding secrets. With time and nurturing, Curiosity can turn to Wisdom. Will learn more from the CHECK option.
Bosenberry Purple - Wisdom : These souls are naturally wise, intelligent, and thirst for knowledge like no other. It is their goal to find out new things each day, and pass it on to whoever is near and dear to them. Tell them something they DONT know, and you will forever be in their good graces. They will know a few things about others before even CHECKING, and their CHECK skill is maxed.
Bumblebee Yellow - Hope: These souls are naturally hopeful and optimistic. They want to see the best in everything, and want everything to come out good in the end. They want it so much, for themselves and for those around them. Their HP is higher than normal!
Dirty Gold Yellow - Pride: These souls are prideful, hence the name. Their egos and pride in their word is unfaulted. They can be hard to work with, as with those huge heads of their's, they don't listen well to others.
Rose Pink - Flirt/Romantic/Lust : Depending on the tint/shade of Rose, shows how deeply romantic the person is. These folks are always huge romantics, love to tease and dress up, having a soulmate, boyfriend, girlfriend, husband, wife, AND ENTIRE HAREM/REVERSE HAREM... They love everyone. These folks have a good chance of being poly or having multiple soul mates. They always have the flirt option, and they know how to use it!
Tiger Orange - Loyalty : These souls will fight for those who they care for, and will stay with them. Sometimes, however, their loyalty is not deserved, as it can be a bad thing when they are loyal to the wrong people. This trait can become Distrust if broken too far. When they fight against someone they are loyal to, their stats are lowered. When fighting with them, the stats grow.
Emerald Green - Altruism : These wonderful folks will give everything they have to assist those in their lives. They are similar to Heroic souls, but not to the active/athletic orientation. They are more like kindness souls, only they give and give and GIVE until they are unable to anymore. They do so with a smile, being selfless and dedicated to those around them. They boost the stats of the ones around them, at the cost of their own stats, however they also gain HP from doing so.
Chartreuse Yellow - Energetic : These souls make up many of the athletes and sports majors of the world. Many children will gain this trait at first, before going on to the more thoughtful traits. Souls with this color are always ready for exercises and more mobile activities, and always, of course, bursting with energy. People with this trait may have insomnia and ADHD. These folks have higher HP and attack, at the cost of defense.
Latte Tan - Timidity : These souls are shy, quiet, and keep to themselves. They are loners, and prefer the quieter actions in life, like reading and walks. They can become Confident Souls with enough supporters, or if they get really into the activities, such as writing or drawing, they can become Creative souls. Timidity can make it difficult to summon soul weapons.
Sand Dollar Tan - Vitriolic: These folks are bitchy! Various levels of salt and bitterness are with these folks, and more than likely, they are the masters of sass and mischief. Beware of stupid comments, as you might be reemed by these folks! Attack is higher, Defense is higher, however HP hits a blow. Weapon is sharper, like their tongues.
Purple Gray - Ignorance: Ignorance is bliss, some might say. Others will call those who are ignorant stupid, rash, completely bull headed... They are stuck in their ways, and they do the dumbest things without knowing who they speak to or how to go about it. Ignorance limits the view during the ENCOUNTER, CHECK is limited, however stats are slightly boosted due to "Not Knowing How Dangerous Something Is".
Leather Brown - Neuroticism : Once the mind starts to go, the soul goes to a dark brownish as a last ditch effort to keep it from going black. People with this soul have a tendency to experience emotional instability, anxiety, moodiness, irritability, and sadness, as well as having a low tolerance for stress. The feelings they have can have different soul colors, but if they feel them all too much, all at once, the soul starts darkening until they feel nothing but darkness. Weapons can become damaged, stats lower or higher depending on soul trait and what is happening.

Based on the new signed work for hazbin
looks like shitty h/skerd/st may end up canon, even though once again husk looks uncomfortable and pissed off by angel, but you cant literally criticise angel without the whole fucking fandom and even staff get pissy with you. accept that not everyones gonna love him, and folks like me whove been victims to these sorts *really* dont fucking like him (to be clear, his predatory nature of not accepting husk saying no but magically accepting other's no, incl alastors. also he tried to force a kiss from husk, similar to how his boss does to him so theres no fucking excuses. its disgusting and male victims of sex crimes are fucking valid, so stop excusing angels actions. he didnt deserve to be a victim but hes not doing favours by making a victim out of husk. its clear harassment. not cute or tsundere either, vile fujoshis-). but most relate or love angel so validate this shit, much like viv and her staff and vas. revolting. he also gives sw a bad name when hes fucking harassing folks bc sw isnt like that - you dont just harass someone. nor is sex your entire identity.
ugh fed up man. im starting to enjoy this fandom so little yet the few characters i am attached to keep me around. hell ive said before ive been around husk like people and they often really dislike angel types, whereas angel types adore them rather shallowly tbh. yeah but honestly this fandom and the clowns running it will find an excuse for angel and avoid those actually affected as always. big surprise...
husk physically resembles angels brother, dad and client, and is similar to the first two. its this toxic bond of angel wanting that love he never got from them. basic science. plus both addicts and one being older than his fuckin dad means realistically it wouldnt work. love does not cure everything nor should be pushed to. ones uncomfortably forced into it, and his bonding moments makes husk ooc because hes portrayed totally different to how he would be. again, experience. overall we get enough of this toxic, forced shit in media. just stop.
angel needs to sort his own shit before being with a guy. and then he needs to be with a guy on his level, around his age and mentality whos in a healthy spot. someone similar to him. hell a male cherri bomb would suit. as for husk, he needs a lot more work thatll take far longer. he needs to love himself and work through his own shit and be like that for awhile first. seen it first hand kill so
before anyone goes 'its fiction' yeah? well then explain how shit like many toxic ideals in romcoms or hell, how male victims of sex crimes are treated as a fucking joke still when its not funny, or hey how about that the only chemistry is this bitter distaste and onesidedness thats shallow af. or how shit like 'killing stalking' and whatnot are seen as cute romances by fans very similar to the point its this sorta dumb shit people romanticise, fantasize and normalise - young people. hell adults too esp immature ones.
its not healthy.
its really not.
and being on the receiving end makes you sick to your stomach and paranoid on others intentions for you.
every glance or touch is an attack. every remark, a hidden message. thats what we're left with.
as for the blokes, they get the extra of being a 'joke' and not a 'real man', that they should 'enjoy' it.
fuck off
also to grow you need to accept not everyone will like or love you. angel irl and in fiction seems mostly adored whether its shallow or not. making a character that dislikes him be his lover is a shit cop out and bad writing just like helluva. we get it, he hates rejection. dont we all. but no one grows without it. hell angel wold benefit from a guy telling him no and sticking to that for him to just accept.
because media shows that fandoms and celebs are now littered full of spoilt folks getting their own ways, seeing any critique or disinterest as 'hate' and being the most entitled buncha twats going. not everyones going to love you or care and that doesnt mean theyre a hater. if viv actually wants a likeable character with flaws to grow, she'd actually show angel's bad as not just him being a fucking victim as its just a mix of victim blaming and entitlement to get what he wants for being a victim when life aint fair. show him with traits more widely despicable thatll shock fans. actually show him accepting people not liking him and being ok rather than forcing himself on them until they do. fucking disgusting. though everyone thinks thats cute. bloody weird-
just like his creator, he wont grow and improve. theyve hired a fucking r'pe fetisher for gods sake. the whole viv and hired folks are a mess...

dearest symeona
i’d like to join your little discussion and fill you in, since you were watching cat videos last year and seemed to miss everything. sounds like a much nicer time than i was having! because at the time i was being sent death threats and anti semitic hate for a holding a fairly uncontroversial opinion, or at least in the circles in which i run.
yes, i got upset seeing damian in a santa hat. because for the last few years, my dash every christmas is pretty jam packed full of christmas themed batfam posts and art. and as a jewish person, understanding that the creators of bruce and most of the batfam are jewish, i found this to be quite confusing and hurtful. and let’s just get this out of the way, bruce is jewish. dc has even published articles about this, and has confirmed it in a pussy way. but even without that, his mother, kate’s maternal aunt, is a jew. that means that bruce is a jew. unless he takes real concrete steps to renounce his faith and community, ethnically he’s still jewish. and he can be an atheist and STILL BE JEWISH. there are actually atheist rabbis, who just really love our culture and tradition, want to have a central role in the community, and guide other jews in a positive direction. and thats actually pretty wonderful. because again, judaism is just as much an ethnicity as it is a religion.
over the years, christians have written bruce as catholic and christian and atheist, and a broad range of other things. hell, in the 80s the phrase ‘caped crusader’ was coined by a christian writer, and i dont love hearing him referred to as that. i think it goes against the very core of why he was created as a jewish allegory. the same goes for people who believe superman is a jesus allegory - he isnt. he was written as a modern day moses parallel. also by jewish authors. he’s a jewish character to his core too. the author of the 1990whatever robin run even said he wanted tim to be jewish, and showed his mother in a jewish cemetery. its not as if intent isnt there.
comics as a whole were created by jewish people, to tell jewish stories to a wider audience. yes, there is some old official art of bruce and dick standing in front of a christmas tree. and that might maybe be because.... it was from the 40s. and i dont know if you noticed but in the 40s americans werent really fond of jews, and neither was the world at large. judging by the response of people in my inbox, they still arent. so these characters can still be jewish allegories, written by jewish people to convey jewish ideals and stories, in an antisemitic world. back then this lipservice needed to be paid in the name of assimilation, and i would have hoped today the need for this would have diminished. 
i hope thats enough context to introduce what happened last year, i was upset that it was all going to start again, and made it known. the artist even reached out to me, and listened to my point of view. because this actually, at the end of the day, isnt a huge deal. and im not sure why it grew, and why other people got involved, when the artist, urs, and i had sorted it out. it became a lightning rod for ‘free speech/art’ anti semitic crusaders.
what is a huge deal though is the hate and vitriol and racism and anti semitism that poured out of the people who associate with your side. Urs, my brave friend who vocally stood by me, received countless hateful messages about her being a survivor and a first nations american. i cant even count how many times i was called a kike.
so the real problem here wasnt the santa hat, it was that a jewish and native american person expressed unhappiness about something, and was met with a disgusting display of hate. thats the problem. that your side was so ready to resort to death threats and slurs. because someone expressed an opinion.
I believe that there is a difference between a person choosing to celebrate a holiday, and a non jewish artist drawing jewish/created by jewish people’s characters celebrating christian holidays. because the jewish person has a choice, but the character does not. at this point in time, there are very few practicing jewish and muslim characters in comics, and in media at large. so i dont think it’s appropriate to make everything christian and say no big deal. i think its more important to display diversity in faith and culture, even if dc is reticent because of cultural antisemitism at large.
when it comes to damian, i can’t speak to that with the same certainty and intensity as i can to the others, since im not muslim. but i do know that several writers have intended him to be muslim (again never committing in canon because comic fans are obviously not very progressive people), and muslim members of this fanbase have really connected with him. and i think showing art where he is muslim, and practices that in a loving and meaningful way, is way more significant and impactful than drawing him in a fucking santa hat.
it is actually very important for jewish people to conserve and practice our culture, and to be vocal about doing so. because people have tried to take it away from us time and time again. so to just brush this aside and say that ‘christmas is a coca cola ad so who cares’ (?) isnt good enough. because we were killed for practicing chanukah, so now its really important that we do. that we remember our tradition, and we pass it on. that we dont allow it to be wallpapered over in the name of assimilation.
all that needed to have happened was for someone to accept and admit that these are characters created by jewish people, to tell jewish stories, and act accordingly and respectfully.
so the problem, in the end, was that i was viciously and ruthlessly attacked for being a jewish woman with an opinion on something, and 10 months later deciding to get involved? i think thats a bad look babe xx

Final round-up of fan fic asks
I've gotten a few more interesting responses to the fan fic discussion so I'm going to round them all up here. This will be my final post on the topic until/unless there's a dramatic new development, or a particularly notable response I want to highlight. Thanks to everyone who brought their thoughts and experiences to the topic. I hope everyone at least feels heard.
The biggest piece of advice that I would like to offer is for everyone to focus on what they love rather than what they hate. If we all did that, the world would be a better place. Alongside that, I'd like to remind everyone to please support authors whose work you like. It's so important. Give them a kudos, give them a nice comment, recommend their work to others. You never know what kind of grief and harassment they are dealing with to bring you these great stories, and our support means a lot.
This is in reference to previous posts here and here.
Anonymous asked:
With regard to fandom and fan fic issue, my years of experience being part of very large fandoms has led me to believe that big accounts are v important in facilitating and enforcing the general consensus of the whole fandom. Unless there will be big accs who'll remind everyone of being respectful & just not being a dick over other's preferences, nothing will change.
This is also the reason why I think certain solo fandoms have adapted weird and twisted narratives as their general fandom story because no big acc has tried to police them & and say hey pls be rational. Whether we like it or not, in a place where how far voices, ideas, tweets, posts get heard is based on the number of followers you have, big accs will have the power and influence in creating/curating/shifting the narratives.
So, if you want to know why your/our fandom thinks like this in general, look at what big accs are tweeting/posting, look at what ideas & values they follow, look at their preferences or how strongly they react to certain situations. it's taxing and toxic for big accs given the nature of social media these days, but it's also the reality of system, the more followers/audience you have, the more influence you will have.
So to anyone reading this I hope we all practice more restraint and reflection before we post anything. Remember that words, no matter what medium you write it in, will always carry weight.
So true. It is easy - even for myself who spends a fair chunk of time answering people's asks - to forget that people can sometimes be impressionable and what we say can influence people whether that's our intent or not. I get used to thinking of myself as a regular guy just doing my own thing when sometimes my thoughts and words go well beyond where I initially posted them.
I think it's important for us to be careful what we say, and it's equally important to be careful what we take from what other people say. Especially when it comes to big claims. Always get a second, third, fourth opinion and don't be afraid to ask for clarification if something doesn't sit right or sounds confusing.
It's also important to reflect on how our words and actions might affect other people's experience of fandom, and err on the side of 'live and let live' wherever possible. It's great to have our own preferences and to champion them, but we should try to do so in a way that leaves space for other people and perspectives.
The more unique perspectives and the more friendly, open dialog there is, the healthier the community will be as a whole.
There's nothing wrong with encouraging and guiding growth in the particular areas we are interested in, as long as it doesn't step on, oppress or attack those who are peacefully enjoying something different.
Anonymous 2 asked: bjyx fans attacking gdgdbaby for including zsww/lsfy dynamics in an event named bjyx then turning right around and attacking the zsww/lsfy event organizer for excluding bjyx? god, can you hear my facepalm and sigh of resignation and incredulity from over there? im genuinely not surprised that they're trying to drive an entire part of the fandom out by disgusting them (and me) with these immature tactics. i believe what im about to say next will sound quite bait-y and i respect your decision 1/?
should you choose not to post this. but i do know that it is not only me, in fact there are many out there, that is of this opinion. we just dont talk about it on twitter to avoid the potential mess it will bring lol. okay, here goes nothing. (do note that im talking about the majority here, not every single person is like this) so bjyx fans tend to be cishet females whereas zsww/lsfy fans are more diverse in terms of age and gender, and most of them are part of the queer community too 2/?
i would like to clarify that most of these zsww/lsfy fans are not dynamic exclusive (in the sense that they are friendly and interact with all ggdd fans) they just prefer to "identify" themselves as zsww/lsfy fans (on twitter specifically) just to form a distinction from bjyx fans who mostly are dynamic exclusive (as in; they do not consume non-bjyx content, and straightup refuse to interact with non-bjyx fans, often blocking them). as a result, id say that the zsww/lsfy communiy is way more 3/?
mature and respectful (after all, they're mostly queer people talking about a queer ship) whereas many problems in this fandom, such as the homophobia, adamantly insisting on "drawing lines" between dynamics, stem from the bjyx exclusive fans, comprised of cishet females who "may not know better". so, it is of no surprise to me that they're resorting to these immature tactics of calling gg unsavory names, and organizing retaliatory events with controversial topics in an attempt to "purify". 4/4
I trust that you have arrived at that theory through your own experience and observation. I haven't personally spent much time immersed in this stuff so I can't claim to have any real insight or expertise. If you say that's your experience of it, then at the very least that's how you've seen things up to this point.
I just want to say that I think we should always be careful about making assumptions about people's age, gender/gender identity, etc.
There are plenty of good reasons to avoid doing that; because those assumptions could be very wrong, because those assumptions are often laced with ageism, sexism, etc., because those assumptions - even when correct - might not be an accurate basis for the conclusions we draw.
But the primary reason I recommend avoiding those type of assumptions is because anything that enables us to clump a group of people together in our minds like that will tend to make them easier to demonize and dehumanize. They are no longer individuals who are each responsible for their own unique perspectives, they are now 'the X group' who is known for 'A B C series of easily attackable ideas or behaviors'.
If we attribute undesirable traits and behaviors to a group of people we feel opposed to in some way, that makes us feel more righteous and justified in behaving unfairly toward them, dismissing their humanity and warring with them. It's just risky behavior to engage in, even when it's well-intentioned.
There might actually be some truth to what you're saying. It could very well be that most of these people are young, inexperienced, heteronormative, etc. but if that's the case then we should try to use those traits to better understand and empathize rather than to better dismiss and discredit.
Just my two cents on that.
It can be really frustrating dealing with what feels like other people attacking us, trying to oppress us, etc. - especially when there are more of them than there are of us. In my experience the best solutions to that sort of problem are generally the ones that focus on what we are doing and want to do rather than what they are doing that we don't want them to do.
As I am always preaching, we can't control what other people say, do or think. The only thing we have any control over is what we say, do and think (and how we respond to what they say, do and think).
I have found in my experience that the moment I step out of a conflict mindset and instead step into a problem-solving mindset, everything starts to come together. I feel better, my outlook is more positive, I can begin to see solutions and allies rather than problems and enemies, and most of all, I become more focused on what I am doing than what others are doing.
So I would recommend everyone who is invested in resolving these conflicts focus on that. "How can we best showcase and encourage the types of stories we enjoy?" instead of "How can we stop these other people from doing things we dislike?"
Anonymous 3 asked:
Hello again! It’s anon #3 from the fanfic post. I really do appreciate reading your thoughts on various issues like this, so thank you for always taking time to write in depth. As for supporting without going to war, the simplest way has always been to just show appreciation for the creators, hype them up. Kudos are the easiest way on ao3 but comments in addition are great. This goes for all content—art, fics, vids..etc. Creators love to see and read how people react to their content. Sharing is also great, fic recs are very helpful, just be cautious with art and reposting though. Hope this helps a bit!
Thanks so much, Anon. I think this is excellent advice. And it's true that appreciation is great, but helping to expand the audience is also great. Recommending stories, pointing people to the pages/websites of artists we like (as opposed to reposting), sharing our own ideas and approaches, encouraging people to try new things... all of this helps build healthier communities.
And here's another one: WRITE! DRAW! CREATE!
I urge anyone with creative interests or talents to bring their voices to the community because we all can benefit from hearing from you.
Thanks again everyone for sharing your thoughts on this issue. I hope that over time we can all work in positive ways to improve the situation.
I think this subject has been well-covered now so I'm going to retire it for the time being. If anyone still feels they want to discuss it further please feel free to message me privately. Thanks.

Geez, this person really went all out with this BS rant against the show/staff. www(.)reddit( lcom/r/RWBY/comments/kiqatg/why_rwby_will_always_be_an_okay_show/
... You know I have been trying to step away from directly addressing RWBY bullshit. But...fuck it here.
If you ever talked to me about how I felt about RWBY, I would say that RWBY pre-Volume 8 has been a touchy subject for me. I felt very validated by two videos, "Why RWBY is Disappointing" and "The White Fang Problem".
Yes yes, and people with parental issues feel validated by their abusive spouse. That means nothing, especially given that one of those videos you mentioned is riddled with bullshit.
"Why RWBY is Disappointing" validated my criticism of RWBYs writing. The fact that Miles and Kerry can't and refuse to take any kind of criticism that doesn't hurt their feelings is complete [insert bad word here]. All criticism is going to hurt your feelings. Yes, you should probably ignore the long winded rants that make themselves out to be self important- why is there a mirror here? But there is truth to all criticism.
And there’s a kernel of truth in the best lies- they’re still LIES.
Not to mention the video you mentioned here (which I am assuming is Hbomberguy’s) pulls the SAME SHIT it calls out. Like say...decrying critics pesonally attacking the writers...while proclaiming Jaune and Neptune as self inserts even though Miles AND Kerry is on the record saying that at least Jaune isn’t written by his voice actor.
I'm currently learning about Branding and how important it is to know your audience. Take self.care breaks, talk with someone you trust. Someone who isn't Miles or Kerry! If your reading this. An outside perspective can help. The reason I say that is because if you two constantly talk to each other you're going to end up in an echo chamber. TALK TO FIONA! She's literally your target audience!
Because hey, a man who contradicts himself numerous times and made personal attacks on the creators that only the most malicious and self righteous do is SOOOO trustworthy right? 
Remember that tweet Hbomb brought up in his video as an example of criticism the creators should listen to? The one that demanded Miles get back to work and tried to use the catchphrase of his dead friend to manipulate him?
What a fucking target audience.
I know they mentioned ‘Fiona’ (likely the character’s voice actress) but there’s a supposed fan, one that pretty much sums up the critics, and a perfect example why it gets tossed out.
Moving on, the other video validated something I wish it didn't. "The White Fang Problem" brought to light something I knew was there but either ignored or I wasn't thinking. The White Fang has always made me a little uncomfortable. As a minority, it didn't translate well in my head. The minority are the bad guys. The Civil rights group were the bad guys. I brushed it off for a long time but after that video I couldn't.
Ah huh. So uh, the existence of Blake, Ghira, Kali, Sun, Illa, Velvet, Neon ect. is just incovienable to you huh? And don’t give me that ‘But civil rights group!’- The first episode had them break up a peaceful protest and it’s repeatedly hammered home that the current White Fang doesn’t give a SHIT about equal rights. And no, that concept is not racist- Judging from a story I read, that happened to the New Black Panthers in REAL LIFE.
It became a moral issue. Watching RWBY became a moral issue. RWBY is still pushing right wing talking points.-
Being right of you is not right wing, Especially given how you just acted.
I dont believe Miles and Kerry are racist. I do believe that Miles and Kerry both hold skewed beliefs in what right and wrong is.
Projection.
The way Miles and Kerry treat self defense and protest shows that they know nothing about being Black. They didn't do their research. They didn't talk to minorities about how they were being portrayed. They simply believed that they were right and we were wrong.
Ah huh, ah huh, ah huh-
Monty wrote the White Fang this way. You know, the ASIAN man of FOUR NATIONALITIES. So uh, congrats on saying at the absolute most- Nothing.
Now these two videos are old news. They've been posted on this very same subreddit. But you can't go around and say how much of a progressive and open minded individual you are when the fact that RWBY is a racist show and treats minorities very badly. So no one talks about them.
Or that, as I showed: these videos are bullshit.
Also its kinda homophobic too, not because of Bumblby but because despite Tera and Saphorn being a happy married couple they never kiss on screen. Have you seen happy married couples? Have you seen gay happy married couples? They literally do nothing but kiss. Its cute and adorable and deserves to be spread as far and wide. Despite the show having two straight couple kisses, granted one was in Volume but still, they couldn't get the married couple to kiss? Just saying.
... And not all gay couples are the same, even if I’m sure you’re thinking of TEENAGERS.
You know, judging people based on a preconcieved notion (AKA stereotyping) is pretty fucking bigoted itself...
Watch people be in the comments typing away that this isn't a romance show and how I shouldn't expect romance in an action adventure show despite the long list of evidence to the contrary.
Ah yes, that long list of ONE kiss by a TORPEDOED SHIP.
Such convincing rhetoric.
So you can see I was not coming into Volume 8 with my rose colored glasses. I'm sure many of you hate me because of all my comments, but I don't care. I was ready to leave RWBY. I didn't care. RWBY had taken up so much of my life but I don't care. I was not going to support a show that didn't improve.
Ah huh-
You just came in with jade-colored glass and accepted anything that validated you instead of questioning yourself. You talk about branding but that’s ALL you’ve branded yourself as.
So I watched. And something happened. Something strange. RWBY was moving in a direction I didn't expect it to. Oscar got what he deserved. The Heros were oblivious to the danger that is Salem. Things were headed in the direction that would change the characters forever. It'll be just like Beacon but better. And then they had to ruin it.
Oh we are about to get some real bullshit.
Oscar somehow convinces Hazel to betray Salem. What could have been an avenue to a multi season story arc for Oscar that included the stories villains became a shitty uninspired redemption arc. Kill me.
No he didn’t and this has been something hinted at since Volume 4.
There's still hope for the season but at this point I lost all hope. 
Tumblr media
This is the scene that killed Volume 8 for me. Oscar should not be the one who defeats Salem. In fact he should be an avenue to learn more about the villains. He served his purpose with the heroes, now he has a new arc with the villains. Oscar doesn't turn evil, but he's like a conscious. Salem doesn't want to kill him because he can be useful in finding the last remaining relics and maidens.
Assumptions.
Oscar has a heart to heart with all the villains including Salem. Oscar learns to be his own man and accepts he's now one with Ozma but he doesn't have to be another Ozma. He doesn't have to make the same decisions.
Its a great Arc for Oscar. It also makes sense for his character. Ozma feels Salem is pure evil but Oscar can learn for himself.
Headcanon.
But they won't do that. Instead they're going to take the easy way out. Like always.
Bias getting in the way.
Miles and Kerry love wrapping up each season in a little bow. This is why RWBY is so okay.
They say as every RWBY Volumes ends in a cliffhanger.
This is Beacon but if Miles and Kerry thought that RWBY should still be in Beacon. This is Beacon but without major character death. This is Beacon but the main villain loses because the heroes can't lose. Cinder isn't threatening. None of the villains are. Salem is in a Grimm! She should know everything! Why is there no creativity? Why is she not an over powered mess in A GRIMM!? Her own domain?! Why are the writers writing her not as a powerful goddess reaffirming her as a threat but as a human being. Yes I know what that sounds like but hear me out.
‘None of the villains are threatening!’
‘WHY IS THE MAIN VILLAIN NOT BEING TREATED AS THREATENING LIKE I THINK SHE IS!’
‘Why is there no creativity?’
‘DO THE MOST UNCREATIVE THING POSSIBLE!’
How about I keep mocking you?
If Salem can be out smarted by a 10 year old boy, why did it take Ozma so long to defeat her? Oscar should fail. RWBY should fail. They should go through character arcs that help them better understand Salem. Because that's how you defeat Salem.
Pushing your own thoughts onto the show. Also assumptions AGAIN.
I always believed that Ozma and Salem are very similar to Ruby and Weiss. Yes I know how it sounds but it makes sense.-
Too bad your AU fanfic doesn’t matter.
But they won't. Miles and Kerry will use Oscar to defeat Salem. Why? Who knows at this point. I dont know why Miles and Kerry keep pushing Oscar into the spotlight. Its exactly how they treated Jaune Pre-Volume 7. Jaune had to be the focus so often we hated him. And they're doing it again with Oscar
Ah huh. You know, the whole NOTHING Jaune did in Volume 6 was SOOO spotlight stealing, along with his REMOVAL FROM THE CAST FOR SEVERAL EPISODES.
Wanna bet this is another case of ‘penis on screen, me hate’?
They refuse learn and they refuse to improve. If Volume 8 doesn't improve im leaving RWBY. It doesn't matter to any of you. I'm saying it more for myself. So I don't continue with a show that constantly disappoints me. But more so, I don't support a show that views people like me as lesser. If the writing improves it proves that they can grow and get better but if it doesn't it means they will continue to treat Faunus as misguided and horrible characters. And I refuse to support a show that uses my likeness to get brownie points from people who are unaffected by such messages.
A. No, that’s who refused to do self reflection and improve.
B. Should have done that in the first place.
C. No, once again- You blind yourself from the shit that disproves you.
D. You heard him- Treat the Fanaus like shit and make the humans in the right. You know, the opposite what the show is doing now since it’s SOOO horrible.
E. You are not the center of the universe.

That grammy tweet u rb basically boiled down to " haha an arists of colour i dislike didnt win bc of racial bias !"
The conversation wasn't about how kpop appropriates black culture ( and yes all kpop ,voted a group u dislike) but about how poc no matter how successful will never be awarded or treated the same ( both important yet not the time for the 1st one)
So not really the time for that ,especially when grammys clearly them used to promote the entire show
How despicable can ppl get that they celebrated and applaud racism while also stanning poc eh..kpop stans ( that account did that later)
I dont like the weekend yet i can clearly see how he was robbed
Tumblr media
ah, okay, here’s the tweet i reblogged in question.
personally when i reblogged this i took it to mean all nonblack artists who benefit from black aesthetics (like many many western artists), not specifically bts (as they are not mentioned), although i see now that the poster is most likely a kpop fan and talking about them.
uhh feel free to disagree with me but pointing out how black creators have been robbed of awards in favor of those who are simply profiting from their aesthetics isn’t...”not the conversation” as you put it? it’s a separate conversation that needs to happen as well. also, i’d like to point out, it’s a conversation that is and has been brought up around every major western awards show for years, whether a kpop group is in attendance at all. 
an issue that i see with your perspective is that it centers kpop and a group you are a fan of in a much older, larger, conversation. the way i see it, the conversation hinted at in the above tweet is about the appropriation of black aesthetics to gain legitimacy(???? the stereotypical “black cool factor” ???), and you are inserting kpop into it rather than the other way around.
i’m not going to adjudicate whether bts deserved to win or not, i don’t watch award shows or listen to their music so i don’t really care tbh. i know enough to say that in the past bts has faced racism in the western music scene (for example, the creation of the kpop category at the bbmas (less talked about since it’s in our more distant past but the fact that a latin category exists too is really??? questionable, to say the least, especially when artists in either category are eating artists from the US alive in terms of mv views and streams at least.)) I think that it’s possible to have discussions about the difficulties that bts and antiblack racism perpetuated by them and many, many, many others without delegitimizing either one.
based on what you’ve said i think it might be worthwhile to consider why you perceive discussions of antiblack racism as a racist attack on nonblack poc and an act that “applauds racism.”
Tumblr media
i’m going to assume that you sent this ask as well, and i would refer you to what was said previously. once again, the tweet says “nonblack people,” not asians. and while i do believe that there is great value in focusing on a common oppressor, the role of nonblack poc (not just asians!) in contributing to the oppression of black people is also important. 
i believe that we are capable than having a more nuanced conversation than the one that you perhaps inadvertently advocate for.

Post essay 👀
oh god since you asked for it-
before i start this, i just want to say that i’m not trying to start discourse or anything. i honestly do not care if the creators of that post see this or know about this or whatever, i just want to talk about the specific things that bothered me because when i am upset i have to get my thoughts out. so scroll past if you don't care as this post is long (this is also going to be very incoherent as it is 2am)
1. this is just nitpicky but this person says if you can't have a job you shouldn't engage in nsfw stuff but like. 16-year-olds can have jobs. my 16-year-old friends have jobs. tommy can have a job (i mean, he already does). also, surely if tommy is ‘too young’ to be interacting with people who make nsfw jokes, the op of that post is too? considering they're a minor, i feel like according to their rules they shouldn’t be watching that stuff at all. unless you want every single person to wait until their 18th birthday to Use the Internet, i feel like this point falls apart quite quickly. the second person says that people like tommy will make younger kids want to get into streaming, but ask any creator when they started making youtube videos and the answer will be quite young! also, that is not his fault.
2. i don't know if i’ll be able to explain my thoughts about this point perfectly, but the way they talk about adhd makes me feel weird lmao. he is not making hyperfixating seem like the solution to everything! a person with adhd publically displaying their symptoms of adhd and in general just....having adhd is not glorifying it whatsoever! techno would have hyperfixated on that stuff regardless of if he had an audience because that's what people with adhd do! we fixate on things for hours at a time because that's just how our brains work. i’ve farmed wheat for hours in minecraft in order to make as much bread as possible just because my brain felt like it that day. it is not his fault whatsoever if people see him hyperfixating on things and copy him because he is not advocating for people to do that. also, the second person saying for techno to not do something if it makes him stressed while also using it as an example of a hyperfixation is....weird. sometimes people with adhd hyperfixate on things we really don't want to and we have little control over it! and maybe techno hyperfixating on things isn't teaching adhd kids to glorify their hyperfixations maybe it's.....showing them that its ok to do that! it's okay that sometimes you focus on silly or inconsequential things. it can be unhealthy for us, but seeing someone else do it makes me feel not so alone. someone having adhd and living their life with adhd is not an endorsement! also he’s not teaching people that bullying=funny. not to sound harsh, but i beg you to examine your own friendships and realize that that's just how friends Are.
3. WHO fucking cares. seriously who gives a shit if wilbur soot is gay. other than the people who are weird about gay men. also how the fuck do you ‘present as bi’! what does that even mean! someone being slightly feminine and comfortable making jokes with his friends does not mean that he is bi and i feel like thinking that is just playing into stereotypes. and for the love of god stop saying that minecraft men are queerbaiting. jesus christ. if someone says they are straight...they aren’t queerbaiting! end of story! jokes are not hints of someone’s sexuality for you to decipher! just because you want someone to be gay or bi or anything else does not mean that they are that thing or have ever tried to convince you that they are. as for the second part of their stuff on wilbur, i can't really say anything because i’m not super involved with his content. so this could or could not be a real issue idk
4......why is this his fault. like genuinely. i don't have much to say on this one because it is not his fault that you are using him as a coping mechanism. it's not his fault that some of his fans have an unhealthy parasocial relationship with him. sorry to say this, but creators are not responsible for their fans’ mental health because - like you said - they don't know you! this is a valid issue and something that happens, but i have no clue why this specific thing makes philza problematic in any way.
anyway, that’s all i have. again, i don’t really give a shit if they see this or not but i wanted to share why i thought that post was so hilariously off the mark. also, i am not coming after the op of that post. they seem like a fine person but i just really disagree with what they said. please dont attack them!

Anonymous said:Well you can as well act symphathetic towards Echo now that you know Bellarke isn't in the cards but you can't backtrack and accept you are wrong. I'd do that too. Bellamy has been in a relationship with Echo for so long and he has no intention of ending it, smart Bellarkes are threatened by the ship, as they should be. And then... There's you. With no evidence of your ship existing. Check. With no evidence of B/E not being strong. Check. Being annoying and all with no proof AT ALL. Check.
+++
So here are the rules of my inbox: 
Tumblr media
Here is my blog statement in my heading:
Tumblr media
You’re just breaking all my rules. You can’t accept someone shipping something that you don’t. You can’t accept someone liking something you don’t. You can’t accept someone THINKING something that you don’t. 
This is MY blog, and I get to have whatever thoughts I want on it, as long as I don’t harm anyone else in doing so. I have attempted to not do so. Sometimes people are hurt because they feel my ship or identity or theories threaten their own. This is an instance when people need to learn to protect themselves by staying away from people and ideas that they find personally objectionable, rather than trying to force someone else into silence by bullying, sending nasty anons.
Simply shipping Bellarke is not wrong. LIKING The 100 is not wrong. Liking JR as a storyteller is not wrong. Having theories about this show that you don’t share is not wrong. Being a sci fi and lit geek is not wrong. Acting like myself and getting all english teachery is not wrong. 
Here’s one you may struggle with: BEING WRONG IS NOT WRONG.
I am allowed to be wrong. I don’t think I am, but if I am, it’s not a crime. If I’m wrong, I’ll be perfectly fine with it. I often backtrack to find out where I went wrong and then readjust my theories. If you were really a reader you’d know that. But you’re not. You’re an anti. 
I don’t have much respect for antis.
Mainly because sending people nasty anons IS wrong. Attacking people for not having your headcanons is wrong. Setting up shipwars and going after the “other side” is wrong. Harassing the creators is wrong. Being a bitch makes you bitchy. And I don’t like you. And I don’t need you to like me. You aren’t a part of my internet bubble.
I’m just over here enjoying my favorite show and my OTP. I don’t NEED evidence to do so.
But I’ve got it.
That’s what it means when you stick to the text and collect details from the show we see on screen and write analysis defending your theories with those bits of text as evidence.
That is LITERALLY evidence for Bellarke as the central relationship of the show, Bellarke as soulmates, and Clarke as the hero and main character, with Bellamy, the heart to her head, as the secondary hero and dual protagonist. There is also evidence of Bellarke as a love story. Kissing and having sex is not the only way to show love, in fact, if you need to kiss and have sex to show two characters are in love with each other then your romance is a failure.
On a side note, nothing about B/E is romantic outside of the moments when they are kissing, cuddling, and having sex, or otherwise being VISIBLY in a couple. They NEED the kissing in order to prove that they are in a relationship because otherwise, Mr Blake saves all his passion for his non-romantic partner, and that’s what the story is pointing towards. B/E is not very romantic. The way they interact with each other is not romantic. Or I suppose it’s a *little* romantic so if that’s good enough evidence for you to think b/e is more romantic than Bellamy abandoning his people (including Echo) for the desperate long shot of saving Clarke’s life then spending a day with the villain inside Clarke’s body nagging him about how much he cares about and loves Clarke and how she’s more important than anyone and that’s going to mean he’s sacrificing everyone for her, and then that last, heartrending moment when Bellamy can’t let her die because he needs her, and how from then on they are so tender and intimate and honest and connected with each other while Echo gets a freaking PAT ON THE BACK.
Hey. You do you. Enjoy your ship. I’m sure you’ll have lots of fun with that. 
I enjoy my ship more than that ship. Plus the love triangle gives it spice. I don’t mind Echo. I’ve NEVER minded Echo. I like her actually, and it’s not backtracking to say so. I’ve never hated her and have gotten nasty anons for NOT hating her and saying even that B/E was okay, not toxic, just not soulmates or endgame. 
I am looking forward to season 7 where Echo gets to get reacquainted with Ash and gets to shed her king/spy role and be her own person, who was taken away from her as a child. Which, kind of requires that she stops worshipping her current king aka Bellamy, so that means their relationship is doomed. And I look forward to Bellamy and Clarke finally recognizing that the thing that makes them happy and makes all the struggle worth while is being together, is love, is each other.
If you dont’ want to follow the signs in the show for these developments, that’s your choice. Not mine.
If you want to be annoyed by me minding my own business and happily shipping my OTP, that’s got nothing to do with me. It’s a reflection on you, and your immaturity. IDGAF.

hi! i promise im not looking to start discourse, just a bit confused on what to think right now. a blog that i follow is /really/ anti-hazbin hotel (fallenautte, i think they were in the utmv fandom a while back) for reasons that i can understand but you seem fine with it, and i wanted to hear a hazbin hotel fan's side of the story? (if this bothers you or will be too discourse-y for your blog i dont mind if you ignore/delete. have a nice day/night!)
thank you for asking me politely, i really appreciate it. kindness will always get you further with me.
i should probably address my thoughts on this, because ive already got some kids and randos in my dms and inbox harassing me over the show (something ive never had to deal with in the UTMV fandom).
by the way, if you do this, you will be blocked on sight because i literally do not have time to deal with you and have better things to do than give you my time. any weird, foreboding anons will be blocked as well, whether or not its "a joke". go outside. sit in the sun. read a book. damn.
okay, so, i only got into hazbin hotel when the pilot dropped - as far as i can tell, hazbin hotel's had an active fandom since much before then. i cant tell you details on drama, but my thoughts? its stupid.
apparently, there's a lot of misunderstandings and rumors flying around - people are fearmongering and lying about things as well, im willing to bet, because yes. people do that.
all about the creator, vivziepop, and ive heard that they're attacking the crew as well.
im gonna be straight with you here (for once in my life lmao): i have no idea what people are saying she did, or if she even did anything. thats not my business.
i dont care about it. i really do. not. give. a. shit. i dont want to know, nor do i care to know.
i dont care about it - why? why, mae, they scream, holding up their lengthy list of receipts to perpetuate cancel culture because they have nothing better to do.
¬_¬
because im not friends with vivzie. its not my fucking drama, so im not gonna put up with it. why should i have to??
anyways, whether or not vivzie + crew are "problematic", im gonna sit here and enjoy a fantastically written show because i dont have time for drama in my life, and its NOT a crime to support something you enjoy, whether or not the people who made it did something wrong or not. its not your responsibility to deal with and put up with their drama, whether its real or not.
yo i like a lot of modern medicine and scientific discoveries but i sure as hell don't condone the fucking nazis.
while that's a much heavier weighed comparison, its still true and i will stand by it. i do not support anything vivzie + crew MAY or MAY NOT have done, and i dont care to know if they did something or not.
despite any actions that may or may not have happened, just because i support a show i like does not mean im saying i condone those actions (whether they happened or not).
to be honest, most of the UTMV fandom is doing what i am doing with this.
remember dreamtale? remember who made it? yeah? remember how we separated her creation from the fact that shes not a good person in the slightest?
i like dreamtale, but i dont condone the creator being a pedophile nor do i condone pedophilia. thats not going to stop me from loving the shit out of dreamtale, without attributing any of that love to the creator of it.
tl;dr
im just here for the show. i dont give a shit about anything the creators may or may not have done because its not my business and i dont see why i should have to deal with it when i have so many other things to deal with in my real, offline life. i participate in fandom to get away from drama. why should i have to let drama invade my fandom life as well?
that's my two cents. hazbin hotel is a fantastically written show, and im looking forward to seeing what's next with the show and the show only. i do recommend you watch the pilot episode. do your own research and form your own opinions about what you want to do concerning the show.
like i said, its not my business what other people do.

@Camepotpark :  Don't turn around and mock people's pain for a few chuckles.
YOUR WHITE FRIENDS CAUSE THIS PAIN!
And she was defending her POC friends against the ridiculousness of the BLATANT RACISM your friends SPEW every day. 
I can link you to dozens of under-researched posts that villify or patronize black and POC fandom and you call it activism when really it’s supremacy and bullying. 
@auriette did the EXACT right thing and that was to be an ally. So maybe go and lecture your white friends about the way they interact with POC fandom?!?! 
Go tell @liliaeth to retract her racist statement and dehumanization of Tamir Rice to bash a fandom fave. Go talk to @nyxelestia about writing a million think pieces on the entire two incidents someone on anon went after her and then attributed the behavior to the entire fandom ALL BECAUSE PEOPLE QUESTIONED HER FIC. Go talk to @princeescaluswords who claimed he didn’t even like Scott McCall but he just hated racism which he was JUST learning about because he’s been a sheltered white manfor the last 50 yars!.
TELL HIM THAT WE ARE NOT HIS TRAINING GROUND. 
Go tell @russiangeckospacesexparty to stop being a blatant troll and dramamonger, Go tell @brydeswhale that their pain is noted, but they make enemies out of allies by not cosigning blatant bullying. Tell @fanfictionfridge that pretending to be a fan while hating every facet of the character or the fandom means they’re not a fan no matter how much they reblog and also, no one is going to you as a source for sterek content, like what? Tell @clotpolesonly that her being the “good sterek” is a ruse and they hate and trash her just as much as they do the rest of us. 
When you vilify fandom for not liking your fave you are insulting countless people of color in the process. Don’t get it twisted that it’s just me. Not to mention the hoards of disenfranchised and marginalized whites who have sought to bring diversity to Teen Wolf by learning and asking people of color how to do so. 
All you do is tear people down over a character that is not representative of the kind of behavior you portray. You make him into an impossible model minority and get mad when others don’t recognize the inscrutable blob you’ve molded. 
The most troubling thing of all is all of this hyperbolic false rhetoric against Scott McCall takes away from the real conversations of racism towards the POC characters on the show (and by the show again Tyler Posey which you all refuse to acknowledge because it doesn’t place the blame on the fans) and it makes it so there’s limited dialog about how to REALLY FIX IT within our fandom. 
IT DOES NOT GET FIXED BY PRAISING “BROWN BOY” SCOTT MCCALL and that’s the most racist thing y’all perpetuate. 
There is progress when it comes to battling racism within our community and fandom and creators are open to receiving criticism and insight on how to better themselves. They’re resistant to ad hominem attacks on their character from someone they don’t know and who doesn’t even have a base level of respect for them. They deserve a chance to be better before covering them in sh*t and setting them on fire. Especially because many are disabled, lgbtq+ or have other maladies that make them an “other”. They are inclined to be more open and accepting and you’d rather burn our fandom than try to nurture it and grow? 
Yeah, you guys really care about racism but you care more about ego and power. 
You’re liars, you’re cowards and you’re obvious. Your platform is built on sand and soon people will see you for the grossly racist supremacists you are. 
And I’ll be there with popcorn and matches.

“heya.”
“you’ve been busy, huh?”
“...” Classic was quiet as he took a breath and continued his monologue.
“so, i’ve got a question for ya.” Classic said, smiling a grim smile.
“do you think even the worst person can change…?”
“that everyone can be a good person, if they just try?”
“heh heh heh heh...”
“all right.”
“well, here’s a better question.” 
“do you wanna have a bad time?” 
“cause if you take another step forward...” 
“you are REALLY not going to like what happens next.”
“welp.” Classic said, smiling as he shifted his feet, excited and brimming with anticipation for what he hoped was their true, last fight. 
“Get ready Frisk.”
“It’s the end.”
“Well Classic I can tell you that Chara doesn't like Frisk one bit. Chara is on your side, so there is that. You can also blame the askers for this, one of us made the mistake of asking Frisk a question about the multiverse.”
“Well, I’m glad to know I have one human ally in this world.” Classic muttered during the pause as he raised his hand and launched his attack. 
“Yes Nightmare! I knew you would get it! Told you that you're smart.”
“Thanks. I just wish I could tell him without being interrupted.” Nightmare said, glaring at Maxie as she shrugged innocently. 
“Nightmare, of course you are a good dad. You are better than my parents, although that is a low bar. I think you are great anyway.”
“Whatever you say.” Nightmare said, laying on his back as he retracted his tentacles. 
“So guys, how are you gonna keep the brat from loading so you can do this? You have to have a plan!”
“Every time they die, we’ll swap out. Keep them on their toes and curious.” Killer snickered, watching Frisk dodge the bones with masterful ease and boredom. 
“if your going to drain frisks DT wait out this timeline and ambush them the second they fall so they never get a save”
“That’s the plan. Get revenge, get a RESET, then drain them.” Dust whispered, eagerly waiting his chance to beat the brat into the ground and turn them into a red mush of flesh and broken bones. 
“frisk if humanity is evil why not kill all humans”
“I can’t save or load on the surface, the only reason I can kill all monsters is because I can save and load.” Frisk whispered, standing before Classic.
“Frisk stop it, you say humanity is cruel but look at yourself! You are showing the worst of our species and it needs to end. You can choose to be kind, you can choose to be the change you wish to see in others but instead you attack the people who cared about you? Stop and look at what you have become, there is so much better you could have done. Please, just stop hurting everyone.”
“I don’t care. I haven’t for a long time.” Frisk said, their eyes filled with bloodlust as they swung their knife at Classic, the punny skeleton grabbing their hands and throwing them across the room. 
“classic if you don't do certain things to not break script do you fall asleep on purpose at the end of the genocide”
“I do. I get completely exhausted, and the only way to get stronger in the time I’m given is something I’ve tried. Twice.” Classic said laughing at Frisk’s shocked face. 
“Though I mostly fake it nowadays, fighting the Dark Sanses really got me into shape.” Classic said, chuckling darkly as Frisk got up and charged. It was pathetic.  
“chara why do you let frisk reset at the end of genocide route if you dont reset for them they wont kill toriel asriel and flowey”
“Ḭ̴̯̚ ̵̼̥̇̀w̸͙̆o̴̻̖̅ù̷̮̞̉l̵̗̠͗̈́d̷͚̼̈́̽ ̴̡̘̚ḩ̸̘͌a̶̯̒͋v̷̙̒ͅe̶͙͑ ̸̦͋ṡ̵̪͍t̴̖́̆o̶̭͍͊p̶͙͐p̸̯̩̐ê̷͚̕d̵̰̞͊͘ ̶̛͍t̴͎̫͊̽h̴̗̥̎e̴͐ͅm̸̖̔̿ ̶͓̄ī̸͎̀f̴̢̚ ̸̪͘Ì̸̢̇ ̴̰̓̚ͅc̸̣͊͝ǒ̸͓u̶̥͚͛l̵̯̃̉d̵̦̈́.̵̩̐” Chara said, small tears forming in their eyes as they held a breath they didn’t need to. 
“Hey Alt, sad to tell you that you're most likely right. Most Errors were never really shown much kindness in their multiverse, most have been tortured by the creators and even the other versions of yourself and your friends. Most Errors need a helping hand, and are too scared of being hurt more to actually accept it. Also there is the touch phobia most have, which is usually a trauma induced phobia in most people who have it so it makes sense Error would have it. So what are you going to do about your Error? Are you going to try to help him?”
“I’ve tried reaching out several times, I’ve apologized for using him like I did when we fought my Nightmare, and I leave him gift baskets with chocolate and sewing supplies. I think they’re working, he’s not as active, but I hope it’s not because of the creators in my world.” Alt said, looking at Classic. He was fighting the human
“Killer, Dust.... you are both precious little beans who love their new found family and will protect them with everything you have. I don't care what you say you are adorable!”
“No we are not.” They said in unison, they were barely audible over Frisk’s screams of frustration at Sans’ new patterns. Though they haven’t died yet. 
“Oh Stretch, you must mean the YandereBerry, yeah he is unsettling to say the least.”
“Ink genuinely made one, and then never made another. Everyone stayed away from our AU for a week after that incident.” Stretch said, shuddering at the memory. 
“frisk what do you think of jerry”
“I hate him as much as humanity.” Frisk said, their arm crackling and bones fragments grinding against each other as they swung their blade again. 
“I know those ships made you guys cringe but what they put other Red's through is worse. He gets shipped with everyone and everything, including(but not limited to) his brother, blue, the pet rock, classic, black, lust, horror, jerry(ew), and of lust.”
“Oh boy. Do not get me started.” Red grumbled, growling as he remembered one time Ink rambled on about all the ships involving him when he confessed to having a crush on Blue. It held a sour taste in his mouth as he didn’t know if it was fake or not, or if his feelings were fake or not. But he kept going as he was happy and no one was being hurt. 
“I feel bad for him, he really has it the worst.” Blue said, kissing him on the cheek or whatever the equivalent was. 
“He does, when I say everyone I mean EVERYONE. Every single sans has been shipped with him at least once, as have the papyrus's, he has been shipped with every monster in his universe and the kid. Red is in a lot of smut pieces, and it is kinda weird.”
“Yeah, it’s almost like he has a lot to choose from.” Black said, and Red’s eye narrowed at the sight of the promiscuous skeleton. 
“killer and dust so aren't you both technically from the classic timeline”
“We are.” They said in unison.
“Oh Black, how are you planning to win Blue over?”
“I will ruin Red’s reputation with scandals and swoop in to comfort Blue in his time of betrayal. Then I will set up many circumstances where he will be in danger and I shall save him. I will also gift him with many great items worthy of Blue’s magnificence!” Black said, whispering so no one would hear him. 
“Hey Frisk why don't you just talk to us for a minute and pay no mind to anything happening, you can just load if something happens anyway so no need to keep your guard up. Stop hunting down monsters and tell me a bit more about who you are, what is a few minutes?”
“A distraction. If better executed, it may have worked.” Frisk said, smirking. 
“Guys please tell me this plan of yours is gonna work, do not let this murder child into the multiverse. And Paps, I know you are the forgiving type but they need to be stopped, if they somehow get access to the doodlesphere there is no telling what they might do.”
“No kidding. They are determined, more so than any monster or human we know. It’s horrifying to know what they would do if they got access to the entire multiverse.” Papyrus said, sighing as he watched what was going on, it hurt even though he had watched several times. 
“I just want everyone to be ok.”
“So do I.” Papyrus said, shaking a bit.
“Yikes, Paps gave up on someone? I mean I get it, they are doing some pretty awful things just cause they can, not for any reason either. They don't have any reason to hurt anyone other than they can and they feel above consequences. Show them they are not, please.”
“With pleasure.” Dust said, watching Frisk fall down dead and swapping with Classic right as Frisk came back. 
Frisk wasted no time before they were stabbed in the arm. And then their other arm, and legs. With cries of agony they fell to the ground and Dust laughed. 
“Pathetic. This is what killed me millions of times? What drove me into insanity? Pathetic.” Dust said, as the kid got up and dodged. 
“Well, I’m going to admire watching you die.” Dust said, firing blasters at the kid who was much slower as they beld out.  
“So Error, your dad knows who you really are, or were... wanna try and guess? I mean you now know you were from a split off of the classic timeline so you should be able to narrow it down.”
“Out of everyone, the chances of them getting into the anti-void is slim, and Ink did entertain Geno as a possibility. And since I did hear a ‘G’ through the censor, I guess I was Geno. Meaning I had to watch them all go crazy at one point in time, though not Horror, he was before any Genocide.” Error said, shaking with rage. 
“Is geno helping too? with stopping the brat?”
“Hell yeah!” Geno said, he was in the save screen. He would be going last. 
“Error the ship with you and Ink is def a different multiverse. It is usually consensual and both are happy together in most cases. There are a few Yandere Inks but only a few. Error makes me happy.”
“Yandere and Ink are two words that shouldn’t be together. In any sentence. Ever.” Error said, shuddering at the thought. 
“Also I will admit to being a tad biased in favor of the Dark Sans's, but just a tad.”
“As are we! I hope that Frisk is murdered and never comes back!” Maxie said, and the other Creators cheered. 
“So Dream, Nightmare... what pranks can I help with?”
“The glitter prank.” Dream said and Red looked at him, and Dream turned away, snickering to himself. 
“Can't Error use his strings to capture Frisk's soul, like when he is destroying a universe so the kid can't just reset?”
“We could, but some souls have gotten out before. We don’t want to risk him escaping.” Error said. 
“Hmm, would be nice if you could somehow give Chara a second chance. They certainly deserve to be part of your family more than Frisk does. Chara still sees you all as their family.”
“They do? You can talk to them?! Oh my god.” Toriel said, falling to her knees as Asgore held his hand over his mouth.
“Well, it seems this is one big mess. Bigger than I thought.” Flowey said, looking at his former parents with an odd feeling.  
“See Nightmare, it is frustrating to not just be able to tell them the answer right? Stupid censoring.”
“It sure is.” Nightmare said, sighing. 
“Blue, what's in the flask? And don't deny having it, I know you do you naughty boy.”
“Whiskey. And I am once again unable to get to any level of intoxication. I might as well be drinking water!” Blue said, rubbing his temples. 
“Hey Alt's Error, you doing ok? The voices aren't being too cruel are they? If they hurt you I will fight them!”
“They’re fine.” He said, giving a very disgusted look. 
“error just out of curiosity aren't you and ink supposed to be there to keep balance in the multiverse”
“Replace Ink with the Creators and you have a correct statement. It used to be Ink and I but that, clearly, didn’t quite work out.” He said, rolling his eyes. 
“chara is a ghost like napstablook or mettaton so isn't it possible to make a body for him”
“It’d be possible to make one for her, yes chara is a girl. A lot of people get that wrong. But the ghosts of the Underground were born that way, they never died. So I’m not sure.” Alphys said, thinking.  
“error have you ever destroyed the classic timeline”
“Wouldn’t be here if I did.” Error said, watching a very morbid display on Dust’s end. 
“Well that’ll give me nightmares.” Error said, turning away.
“ok so if dust sans kills all the monsters i mean all the monsters getting him to level 19 he might be able to talk to chara maybe?”
“I occasionally see a wips of green and yellow. I assume that’s the kid, but I don’t have enough DT to actually hold a conversation with them.” Dust said, sighing. 
“toriel if you break script and cut the flowers that break the humans fall they will never be able to kill anyone since they died”
“I could do that, but there are other ways into the Underground, small caverns and holes on the mountain, and it’s better knowing where they will fall rather than not knowing where.” Toriel said, sighing.
“Hey Chara, is there anything you would like us to tell your parents? I want to help you!”

Chara sobbed as they squeezed their arms and sat on the ground, attacks phasing through them as they watched the fight helplessly. 
“Frisk, buddy, pal, amigo, friend, my compadre... Are you sure you wanna mess around with multi-verse stuff? I don't think the other Skelebros are gonna take your threat lying down.”
“They’re nothing compared to me.” Frisk said, cackling like the maniac they were. 
“How much therapy is Red gonna need after learning someone wrote smut of him and Jerry?”
“No amount of therapy will ever make this moment ok.” Red said, whining as Blue gave a very pouty look at where the sound was coming from. 
“Wait I just realized Maxie forcibly hugged Error just to mess with him, that is messed up. You ask and respect his no, the guy has a touch issue. Don't bully the Error!”
“He’s been getting better, and I rarely do it. And I’m not that mean to him, Nightmare would find a way to kill me if I did.” Maxie said, pointing at Nightmare as he agreed. Not looking up from his spot on the ground. 
“Nightmare, what are you and the rest of the multiverse going to do during the fight with Frisk?”
“We’re on standby in case they need help. But they’ve got this.” Nightmare said, 
“Frisk, why do you hate humans so much? Did your family hurt you? Did you have a family? why betray the nicest souls you may ever meet? WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?”
“I don’t need to explain myself to you.” Frisk said, small tears welling up in their eyes as they tried to killer Dust. 
“Let me make one thing clear, Error better not get hurt or I will raise hell.”
“As will everyone.” Nightmare said, smirking. 
error do you watch undernovela in this version of the multiverse?
“Yes I do. It is amazing.” Error said, winking as he smiled. 
“error what do you think of people who ship you and ink”
“I’m sure it’s ok in alternate multiverses, but I will forever see them as weird.” Error said, walking up to face Frisk. 
“to sans frisk and chara what do you think off your respective stronger than yous”
“I like it.” Classic said, “I actually listen to it every now and then.”

there’s so, so, SO much nonsense surrounding this game that i’m gonna do my best to separate it into digestible bits, with its own categories. even then this is... wow. it’s big.
Warning tags will be added at the start of every section, but the general gist is: incest, pedophilia mentions, fetishization of rape and abuse, fetishization of mlm, fetishization of people of color, racism, ableism, nb erasure and transphobia. aside of the warnings, this post will also touch upon Scummy Business Practices
let’s get going
Dana Rune’s and Elle’s lack of moral fiber: #incest #pedophilia#rape and abuse fetishization #homophobia
tl;dr: dana loves incest porn, elle loves guy on guy rape, and the both of them are friends with at least one pedophile
dana rune has run, is still running an incest zine (please visit my faq on what i think about “thats not really incest” and “it’s just fictional!”). The Arcana, as a dev team, clearly does not care, as shown in their e-mail responses.
dana also very much doesn’t care and has reacted to any criticism on this by dismissing people and blocking actual incest victims who tried to contact her about it claiming it was for her “mental health”
in some tweets she claims she “interprets” the characters as not siblings, but she never really cared enough to cover her ass when it all began (she happily admits she’d “cross the incest line”)
dana has commissioned artists who also ship incest, draw near-pedophilic art that’s supposed to pass as acceptable because the character involved is supposedly not a minor despite looking like a child down to wearing pigtails (the character is also wearing a racist-ass belly dancer outfit), AND even made white-washed fanart of The Arcana.
dana follows twitter user kapymui who also produces incestuous Fire Emblem art
dana has retweeted omocat long after it came out that omocat is, at the very least, consuming pedophilic content (on “omocat didn’t know what shota meant!”: yes they did)
moving on, elle has a long, long, LONG history of fetishizing mlm and the rape and abuse that comes with yaoi and had a rich, RICH “yaoi” tag before they deleted their tumblr
they curiously deleted their tumblr right after i made this reblog
shortly after that, tumblr user thalassiq remade and started attacking and insulting any blogs criticizing them - even people providing support in IMs. Since this doesn’t match Dana and Elle’s normal pity parties I’m personally willing to believe they were just a person wanting to start shit - but it’s so telling how Elle used this chance to dismiss everyone who disagrees with them by calling them “children” and did not even bother to offer a kind word to people who were harassed and even had their trauma mocked by this person. It costs 0 dollars to say “that was not me but I’m sorry about people who were hurt.”
Dana and Elle are close with Ava’s Demon creator Michelle Czajkowski aka that one person who endorses child porn of her characters, and even had her draw a promo image for the game. Michelle has been creating highly sexualized content of her minor characters for a while now.
ok so elle and dana are gross freaks, how is that related to the game?
oh it’s very very related
Dana Rune’s and Elle’s lack of moral fiber that’s Actually Inside The Game or The Game’s Blog: now with more #racism #fetishization of poc and mlm #whitewashing #fat hate #pedophilia #nb erasure #transphobia
tl;dr: the arcana is filled to the brim with racism! so much of it! haha holy shit! and that’s not even where it ends!!!
their game is rated PG-13 but includes incredibly sexual situations such as Julian making this fucking face while getting off on pain. This isn’t the only time Dana and Elle use their videogame aimed at young teens to showcase their kinks and fetishes. I have no issue with NSFW or titillating content, as long as it’s rated accordingly. This content is NOT and it’s a blatant disregard for their audience just to have a larger, more pliable demographic and have more money sent their way.
if you start your argument with “well, teenagers look at porn” 1. shut up 2. theres a HUGE difference between teenagers going after adult content aimed at adults, and adults creating content they know will be seen by kids barely starting puberty
as pointed above, dana has 0 qualms literally commissioning people who make whitewashed fanart of her own fucking game that’s supposed to be all about the inclusivity and safe spaces
thearcanagame blog has a pattern of reblogging whitewashed fanart (before you come in swinging with the good ole “ITS THE LIGHTING”: 1. no it isnt 2. the artist should’ve picked better lightning then 3. i draw and post shit online too so dont come telling me i just dont understaaaand),
fanart of their fat characters showed skinnier than they are in their sprites (although to be real for a moment - Portia is curvy at most and them behaving she’s fat rep is HILARIOUS).
going back to NSFW content: nadia and asra are overwhemlingly sexualized in the game, and were the first to have sexualized CGs and sprites introduced.
CGs: Asra’s here, here aND HERE, Nadia’s here with a NSFW warning because she’s just got her whole fucking ass out. Sprites: Asra’s thank god for whoever compiled it all in one image, Nadia’s and once again, NSFW warning lmfao!
Julian’s sprites on the other hand are noticeably tamer, including the one where he’s fucking strapped in leather. His only sexual (NSFW warning because its literally softcore tentacle porn WHICH, ONCE AGAIN, SHOULDN’T BE PUT IN A GAME AIMED AT 13YOS) CGs were also included months after Nadia and Asra received any of theirs.
Through all of the updates, people have constantly requested that Asra and Nadia’s sexualization be toned down, and time after time The Arcana just churned out fetishistic, hypersexualized content at an absurd rate, especially when compared to the one white love interest.
Oh, speaking of the one white love interest: Julian is based off of Jeff Goldblum (this is not spectulation - they p much bring it up at any given time) but like. If Jeff Goldblum was white. They base their favorite love interest off their supposed favorite man in the world but casually leave his skin tone behind. Lmao.
they also play favorites very obviously - in the prologue, Nadia and Asra have a romance paid scene each. Julian has a scene... that requires no coins. Julian was also the first LI to receive three CGs, two of them requiring no coins, while both Asra’s and Nadia’s first CGs were behind a paywall
Dana and Elle have been notoriously skittish about confirming or denying their characters’ ethnicities. After hyping for weeks on thearcanagame that they would confirm the character’s races they basically made a post that amounted to “well they’re not white lol!”
they only relented after the perfectly understandable outrage... and posted a thread about it on Elle’s twitter. Nothing on the actual thearcanagame blog. Anyway, here’s the thread. Note how there’s mention of Julian being Jeff Goldblum... but nothing about him and Portia being Jewish (or “fantasy Jewish” as it were).
The one time they did confirm their jewishness dana then backpedaled and said she shouldn’t have done that lol.
another fun tidbit of how well The Arcana handles race and how much it cares about feedback from fans: an ask was sent about an anon begging for Nadia to step on them. The blog, with the finesse of a bunch of horny dumbasses, didn’t just publish the ask, but approved of it (even though the fans of color had long, long, LONG been telling everyone not to fetishize Nadia into a “step on me kween” wet dream). People were outraged, of course, and the blog ~apologized~ and said they were still learning.... then a new chapter included a scene of Nadia stepping on the Apprentice. 🙃
not to mention elle, on their twitter, made a passive aggressive “women can be doms?” tweet, trying to twist it into a “yr oppressing women” angle (when the issue is that women of color are always constantly portrayed as aggressive and domineering)
Now for a wombo combo of racism and Elle’s fetishization of mlm:
the devs have spoken at length of how Julian’s and Asra’s relationship was quite unhealthy. In a paid scene in Asra’s route, they’re depicted as Asra being disgusted w Julian touching him+Julian following Asra to his shop when Asra refused his offer to go with him (aka julian... stalked him lmfao).
.......... this scene is promptly followed by a highly sexual scenario where Julian’s pain fetish is played up. Remember how this game is rated PG-13? Me neither. Asra’s previous disgust with Julian is also forgotten, for some reason (and by some reason i mean Elle wants to make them fuck w/o buildup or logic).
Then Asra’s route has yet another paid scene dedicated to Asrian, even though he’s supposed to not even like Julian! And be head over heels with the Apprentice! But Elle just has to make these two be entangled despite insisting their relationship was not good for either of them!
Now here’s the kicker: Julian doesn’t have any paid scenes related to his romance with Asra. Note how it’s one of the brown LIs whose route is highjacked by the white LI, but not vice versa. Hmmmmm.
Now, on the topic of Asra: thearcanagame has said repeatedly that he’s nb and uses he/him pronouns, and promised (since last year) that there would be dialogue where he speaks about his gender
as of the making of this post such dialogue still does not exist
so basically asra is the nb to dumbledore’s gay: anyone who just plays the game w/o keeping up with the official blog has no idea of what asra’s gender is supposed to be.
aka he’s not nb. he’s just a cis guy. the arcana just doesn’t want to put its money where its mouth is, i dont care if elle is nb themself. the team made a promise which has not been fulfilled yet and i suspect will not be.
instead, our introduction to canon nb characters is... these two.
By “these two” i mean neither vulgora nor valdemar are even fucking human, and stick out like sore thumbs with their monstruousness.
so our nb rep is... non-human villains. a few books later one of Nadia’s sisters with they/them pronouns shows up, but that’s too little too late on top of the fact that we should’ve known Asra was nb from the first to begin with. It’s a fucking embarrassment and an insult.
at least two villains are visibly disabled (Lucio’s missing arm and Volta’s blind eye+intentionally asymmetrical face). Julian’s eye doesn’t count because, spoilers, he’s not lacking an eye and even if he was it’d still be hidden behind a dashing eyepatch instead of grotesquely displayed as a sign of his lacking morality.
BUT WAIT! IT DOESN’T EVEN END THERE!
The Arcana Exploits The App Business Model To Price Their Full Game at $500, $1000 if the three extra routes make it out, and they never delivered their Kickstarter rewards:
tl;dr: you heard me
the original price per route was planned on being $1.99
they took that “subject to change” really seriously, it seems, because now each route, once the game is fully out, is estimated to cost around $170 each.
both those screenshots are taken from this post which explains in detail just how truly scummy all of The Arcana’s business model and decisions are: https://mysticmicrotransactions.tumblr.com/post/174308723344/dishonesty-from-the-arcana
the tl;dr is basically what’s listed in the beginning of this section, but other highlights from that post are: the use of addictive gambling mechanics such the Wheel of Fortune, and the dazzling calls to action in the new mini-game.
something that The Arcana supporters forget (or choose to ignore) is the fact that for a long, long time the game did not have the mini-game or the log-in rewards for coins. Players depended only on the gambling of the WoF or paying absurd amounts of money for the new chapters.
the devs went from playing the victims who were unable of controlling prices to (as spoken of in the link from mysticmicrotransactions) saying the making of the game (a pathetic little app game backed by a studio and a kickstarter) justifies the prices
they also gave people false hope about maybe changing the prices in the future, all while bleeding money from loyal players in “micro” transactions
the arcana literally added a $99.99 coins option on their latest update
in case it hasn’t sunk in yet: you can pay a hundred dollars upfront to the arcana, and you still will not have access to the whole game
there is no defense to this
none
“it’s free stop whining” let me explain:
“spend months on end accumulating fake currency or pay hundreds of dollars up-front to be able to play” is a scummy business model no matter how you look at it
if i can spend $60 upfront to play an AAA game there’s no excuse to demand more than that for a game with much smaller and, honestly, inferior content
the combination of there being already far and few games featuring lgbt characters and characters of color AND the little cult of personality set up by Dana and Elle makes people feel that spending money to support them is an acceptable expense.
it’s not
manipulating people into spending ridiculous amounts of money and then claiming “it’s their choice” is just scummy business, baby, and thats all the arcana does
the devs are brats who instead of admitting $500 is absurd for a game instead write petty little caricatures into their game - like, lbr: dana, elle, if i could afford diamonds in my hair i wouldn’t have even bothered with your shitstain of a game
despite bragging that ppl would get the full story w/o needing to pay, the paid scenes are pretty much required - the first few books of julian’s route have no romance without accessing any of the paid options. you dont even get so much as a kiss in without handing coins over. many, many people were baffled when julian had a teary break-up scene when from their perspective they hadn’t even started building a relationship.
wow that’s more than i ever thought it’d be
and i’ve been aware of their bullshit for near a whole year now!
i don’t have much of a note to end this on, other than: the arcana just isn’t even that good. it suffers from weak writing, pathetic character development and above all actually harmful content. do not try to argue with me on any of these points unless you’ve read all of that, because whatever you have to say i’ve likely mentioned before. if you still are that determined to yell at a me on the internet, please preface your argument with the phrase “I’m a pee pee poo poo man” so I know you’ve read everything in here. thank you!
