I have stated this a couple of weeks ago and it seems that my assumptions were not wrong. I said that this fandom is decreasing in safety at an alarming rate. Sadly it is true. I’ve personally wanted to speak up and talk to Jack personally about this for a while now and sadly to even today, he hasn’t realized it. I know its understandable for a creator to stay out of their own fandom drama but honestly I am worrying for the safety and the good atmosphere our fandom is known for. Coming across as a social media manager, or an advocate or representative of the fandom is not my intention. I just really, really want Jack to atleast be aware of what’s going on behind the scenes in his own fandom.
Harassment:
People are harassing eachother, and I see it more and more each day. Not only on Tumblr, but on twitter, the youtube comments, or even on discord servers.
There is a girl harassing Jack and Wiishu on Twitter. There are friends of mine being harassed and blamed for abuse. There are minors who are toxic to other fellow fans in a way of guilt-tripping. People hate on eachother for the fact that they enjoy Anti’s existance.
Art-theft:
Before I saw that gifs from @marielgum, @lum1natrix, @irosl6, @markired, @booperdoopcr, the deactivated blog jacksepticeyegifs were being stolen every once in a while. Now I see it happen every single day. I’m filing reports everyday now.
For your aesthetic blogs: Stop stealing edits For your “imagine”blogs: Stop stealing gifs For any other fan account with compliations of anything in this fandom REBLOG. DONT REPOST.
Caption abuse:
How many more times do I need to speak up about this? I am a freelance captioner and since a few months, every video I watch, I see incorrect captions. They are not there for your own fun! They are a tool for the hearing impaired! Its not cute or quirky to write your own comments there!
This is what I see in the captions in every video: Self-made comments Selfpromotion People putting words in Jack’s mouth People captioning in zalgo text Putting in fake Anti hints Full on caps-lock captions People putting in random words And this way I could rant about it for ages.
TL;DR
Jack I am seriously concerned and I’d love an opportunity to speak up to the entire fandom about this. It’s not fun anymore to see your hard work being stolen. It’s not fun to see people mess up captions for other people. It’s not fun to see your friends being abused by other fans. Stop the toxicity. Please Jack. I beg you to be atleast somewhat aware of what’s going on. People you reblog everyday are harassing other fans behind the scenes. Its devastating to see toxic community members get praise, Its devastating for artists to see you reblog stolen fanart or gifs sometimes. And personally, it hurts a lot to see people like the “funny captions you put in” on videos.
IF YOU’RE HAVING A CONVERSATION WITH SOMEONE AND THEIR EYES ARE LIGHTING UP WHEN THEY TALK ABOUT WHAT THEY’RE TALKING ABOUT
YOU LISTEN YOUR ASS OFF, DON’T DEFEAT THE LIGHT, KEEP IT GOING OR FUCK YOU
For the people with no attention spans that might be anxious about doing this: be honest about it- if your attention span is dwindling, speak up and just tell them “gimme a sec, attention span” then take a breather until you can focus again.
I do this a lot. I don’t feel good about it but I also want my friends to understand that I need to scroll my phone every few minutes so I can refocus and give them as much of my attention as possible.
Omg thank you. My ADHD ass was spiraling down the #guiltslide until I scrolled through the notes.
I had my headphones plugged into my phone with nothing playing (no music or anything) and the headphones started making a really loud glitchy/crackly sound that scared the shit out of me!
I think Anti the glitch bitch is possessing my headphones…
Hey guys heads up: Toya Delazy is playing the upcoming fourth Powerpuff girl.
No matter what we may think of the inclusion of a fourth Powerpuff girl, no matter what we think of the show, no matter what we think of the crew, don’t hate her.
For all we know, this is a dream come true for her. Voicing a Powerpuff girl? Hell what girl wouldn’t want that? I wish it were under a better, more capable crew, but whatever.
Point is, it’s not Toya’s fault, and I’m just advising you to not harass her. It should go without saying, but considering what happens in some of the other fandoms, it’s better to warn you.
its freezing and the heater is broken so im gonna run the most challenging-to-render thing i own (minecraft) and make my pc so hot itll warm the room up
ok we good
So this is what hubris looks like in physical form…
