Is
Is this real
Can I get a tumblr history lesson
Tumblr history lesson coming up
alright so its May 30th 2015, and this blog appears out of the blue. It’s a self-proclaimed REAL SJW blog, only they made a point of hating ‘special snowflakes’ aka any gender or sexuality that were not one of the well-known ones.
They all take the persona of a Sonic character, and at the time of the blog’s creation there were 6: Mods Sonic, Shadow, Amy, Tikal, Tails….and Silver. The blog hadn’t been active for 24 hours before Mod Silver allegedly closed the ask box. As you can see from the rules page at the time, this was a clear violation of the rules:
The other mods were displeased, in particular Mod Amy who ignored his stated reasons for doing so and furiously demanded that he contact her on skype.
Mod Silver was promptly removed from the blog for his first offence, however not before the blog’s followers took note of another rule on the list: Be kind to Mod Silver.
The tumblr masses became angry at Mod Amy’s hypocrisy and called for her to be removed from the blog, starting the trends #IStandWithModSilver and #DownWithModAmy. She responded by saying she had done nothing wrong by disobeying the Mod Silver rule as the rules had been updated after his removal:
This only made Mod Silver sympathizers angrier, increasing the pressure on Mod Amy. The whole thing upset Mods Tails and Tikal greatly, with Mod Tails trying to stand up for Mod Silver and Mod Tikal refusing to pick a side.
At the end of the day, the blog had 10,000 followers, and both Mod Amy and Mod Sonic confirmed that Mod Silver was gone for good.
BUT WE AREN’T DONE.
The very next day, Mod Tails resigned after alleged harassment by Mod Amy. Mod Sonic then revealed that he and Mod Amy had been dating in secret. Mod Knuckles was recruited, hoping to be a peacemaker of sorts, and became the only Mod with the authority to change the rules. Later the same day, Mod Tikal was banned from the blog after labeling herself a demigirl, which violated the ‘special snowflake’ rule:
On June 1st, Mod Sally joined the blog, but it simply made things worse as Mod Amy immediately suspected that Mod Sonic might have feelings for them. This caused an argument between the three, with Mod Shadow helping to stir up dust by making posts about Mod Sonic’s supposed crush. Knowing he was likely going to be banned, Mod Shadow then made his final post:
Mod Sonic replied the next day confirming Mod Shadow’s removal. He then changed his name to Mod Super Sonic, and removed Mod Knuckles from the Mod List without warning for a violation of the rules (debated below):
After which Mod Sally resigned, unwilling to put up with all the drama. Mod Amy was then unexpectedly banned by Mod Sonic, who had once again changed his name:
Mod Sonic was now the only Mod left, and nobody knew what he would do next. The answer turned out to be… nothing, as 6 days of inactivity was a violation of the rules, and he left the blog. The story get less interesting from here.
Mods Silver and Shadow returned to the blog alongside new Mods Blaze, Classic Sonic, and Classic Amy (both of which claimed not to be the originals). After a kerfuffle involving Mod Shadow claiming that Mod Silver encouraged hate of Mod Amy (which he then took back), Mods Classic Sonic and Classic Amy were removed for inactivity.
FAST FORWARD TO AUGUST 2016, Mod Shadow became angry when a new Mod refused to pick a Sonic character for the blog, instead choosing Nagito Komaeda from Dangan Ronpa 2. They began arguing immediately:
Since then, the blog has changed its theme to include Dangan Ronpa characters rather than Sonic ones, thought their URL remains the same. PLEASE look up screenshots, there are way more than the ones I included, but this post is long enough already. So ends the tale of Sonic For Real Justice, as I remember it
If I ever become a history teacher, I’m going to write “gullible” on the ceiling.
Then in the middle of class, I’ll announce, “There’s ‘gullible’ written on the ceiling.”
After the whole look vs. not look shenanigan occurs, I shall then slam my books on my desk, prop myself up, lean forward and say, “Welcome to history. Your first lesson? Check your facts for yourself.”
If may I quote his twitter on this: “I wanted to share this touching moment. @Reo_Grayfox was telling me his story, and said those lines while staring straight into his fursuit’s eyes. Hearing personal stories like this makes you appreciate the vastly diverse reasons why the furry fandom is essential to so many. ”
The furry fandom is like a second family to a lot of people and, even though it’s not without its problems, I don’t think we should ever forget the impact it can have on people’s lives.
The furry Fandom allows us to express ourselves in a different and more confident way. Our sonas reflect us or who we want to be. A fursuiter that is super enthusiastic could be the most awkward, antisocial person ever with out his or her suit.
Okay but this is how bad 2017 was that I’m in my basement
just now and a dandelion seed floats by and I’m like that’s weird, why is a
dandelion seed floating right toward me in my basement where there’s no wind
and in the middle of winter? And I let it fall onto my hand and stared at it
for a moment before saying to it, “I’m a scientist and a very practical, down
to earth person… but if you’re some kind of fairy, can you help me out, bro,
and give me a better 2018?” Then I gently sent him on his way and wished him good
luck. Keep your fingers crossed, people. XD
GUYS THE SEED CAME BACK. I PUT OUT MY HAND AND HE LANDED
RIGHT ON IT AND I SNAPPED A PIC OF HIM ON MY PALM:
ISN’T HE BEAUTIFUL?! I HAVE NAMED HIM SILKY DAN, AND HE IS
NOW THE HAPPY WINTER DANDELION SEED OF GOOD LUCK.
well, probably not, because that kind of halo is formed by ice fog in extremely cold air, and the ‘wheels within wheels’ description of angels comes from areas with a climate warm enough that it just doesn’t happen there.
then again, the sheer rarity of it might mean that the one time it did happen at high altitude or something, the witnesses’ description memed its way to glory.
How come you have to freeze your ass off to see most of the cool shit, on Earth?
you have to earn it
are we not going to call attention to the phrase “memed its way to glory”
the thing I’m most excited for, that involves Dark and Wilford, is seeing how they react to one another in canon. All that we’ve seen of them interacting was when Dark spoke to Wilford in MarkiplierTV, but Will didn’t really respond…
I don’t think many of us realize it, but we have absolutely no idea how they react around one another, nor do we even officially know if Dark or Wilford remembers their lives during and before WKM (Dark most likely does, but idk. I think Mark confirmed that he has no trace of Damien or Celine left in him, so maybe all he knows is that he’s out for revenge, but he doesn’t know why. Maybe that’s why he’s s o evil. Supposedly…).
There’s so much character development to look forward to in 2018. I’m so excited!
