Public Safety Announcement regarding the mascotverse

Ever since oldeubagel left the mascotverse community, I never thought I’d meet another Portuguese fan—until Instagram recommended Rui Moura. Rui shares pictures of his mascot plushies he bought on eBay, making it clear he’s been a dedicated mascotverse enthusiast. Naturally, I reached out to him through DMs, but that’s when he hit me with a harsh truth: he’s no longer interested in the community.

Rui explained that he started the subreddit r/Olympicmascots, which might be one of the first mascot-related subreddits due to its “dull name,” hoping it would be a peaceful corner of the internet. Instead, he found himself embroiled in drama with other community members, leading to a traumatic experience that left him with a strong aversion to the mascotverse. He even begged me not to bring it up, which was tough—being an established mascotverse influencer, it’s my go-to topic. At first, I was confused since Rui’s Instagram still featured mascotverse posts. Then I noticed his most recent post was from two months ago, hinting that things likely went downhill from there.

If I had a nickel for every Portuguese fan who left the mascotverse because of toxicity, I’d have two nickels. Not a lot, but it’s odd that it’s happened twice.

With that in mind, I want to issue a call to action: Mascotverse youth, treat the Portuguese well.

If you meet someone openly Portuguese and interested in the mascotverse, welcome them with open arms. Do whatever you can to keep their experience positive and engaging. If you’re Portuguese, that’s even better—support each other! If drama erupts in the mascotverse, keep them away from it. If a Portuguese fan gets involved, you’ve failed. And if they’re leaving the community because they’re simply bored, let them go without interference (I’m looking at you, @elbene15). Pressuring them will only reduce their chances of returning.

The mascotverse isn’t always about bringing people together; it’s seen its fair share of conflicts, and frankly, we’re all tired of fighting—both in real life and online. John Lennon’s words, “War is over if you want it,” resonate here. But changing someone’s mind isn’t as simple as a quote. Casual opinions like “Why does everyone love Amik?” or “Should they be banned?” can spark unnecessary wars. We can’t stop these conflicts entirely because casual opinions are part of being human. However, we *can* shape the way people perceive the mascotverse. If we foster the image of a welcoming, friendly community, we’ll make fans happier, even if they choose to leave without drama.

Rui’s story should serve as a lesson: make Portuguese fans feel that the mascotverse is a safe and welcoming space. Otherwise, we’ll keep losing them. Mascots are meant to bring people together—and they always should.
