This, but still obviously holding them accountable when they DO do something disgusting/offensive, like you know. Swaggersouls, Dream, Jschlatt. Holding people accountable and calling them out on their bullshit is good, but absolutely decimating a literal kid because he made a mistake or didnt have all the information at the time is not the appropriate reaction

you don’t see selena gomez talking about the shittiness of north korea and it’s autocratic government. you don’t see bts speaking on the issues palestinians are facing right now. you don’t see harry styles talking about income inequality in the united states.

so why are these fucking minecraft youtubers expected to know absolutely everything about every possible problem going on in the world right now as well as being expected to speak on it whenever people bring it up.

half of these people are fucking teenagers who wanted to make content on the internet because it interested them. they aren’t activists. they didn’t sign up to be activists. stop treating them like one.

they are content creators existing to provide content. entertainment. if they want to use their platform that they built to speak on issues that they’re passionate about? great! amazing! but this entire belief that if they don’t speak on something or aren’t educated on a problem means they’re racist or homophobic or transphobic or literally anything else is such a dangerous mindset to have.

content creators are not activists. they don’t owe you anything. it’s great if they feel they are responsible and educated enough to speak on these issues and help people, but expecting them to do anything other than what they’re signed up for, which is creating content for entertainment is a fools dream that shouldn’t be indulged.

you don’t see older fandoms asking their ccs to say “can you please say gay rights?” or asking for their opinion on racial issues.

BECAUSE IT’S NOT THEIR FUCKING JOB

of course fucking gay rights. of course racial issues are valid and should be talked about. BUT THEY’RE PLAYING A VIDEO GAME ABOUT FUCKING BLOCKS.

TALK TO AN ACTIVIST IF YOU WANT AN INFORMED OPINION. THAT’S THEIR JOB. NOT A MINECRAFT YOUTUBER. NOT ANY YOUTUBER UNLESS THEY HAVE ALREADY EXPLICITLY SAID THEY BELIEVE THEMSELVES MATURE ENOUGH TO TALK ABOUT IT.

i am sick and fucking tired of everyone using twitter as a way to educate people. twitter threads are not reliable sources of information. you know what are?

ted talks

websites formatted specifically by activists

organization pages without fucking character limits

stop expecting content creators to know everything. they don’t. they never will. they’ll mess up. they’ll make mistakes. that doesn’t make them fucking racist.

mcyttwt is a fucking joke and i hope that app burns

Los Santos - Progress Report 2022 - Part 4a: General state of the world, R̶o̶a̶d̶s̶ and philosophy (somehow)

I love this title

Guarding the City of Los Santos from the safety of Mount Chiliad

During last years work on Los Santos (which was mainly september... Okay actually I think it was only september. But hey I haven’t made that much progress in any other year!) I replaced some road textures and reworked some road layouts that already existed. When a project is stretched out in such a long time window (2016-now) you not only work in one direction (from start to finish) but you also occasionally completely rework stuff from before. In all these years from 2016 this has been the only CAW project I’ve worked on. With every year I’m learning new quirks and tricks about the game and caw. When I started out I was 15! Now I am 22 and yet I still find fun in creating this very world.

I went from 15 year old boy with social anxiety who doesn’t go to school to play videogames all day to 22 year old young man (still boy to be honest) who had an extra in a tv show, moderated the local school charity art auction and who probably goes to university this year. Point is, I have changed so much in these 7 years you can’t even compare these two people and yet this project is somehow still going and it still feels like I only recently started it.

As I have said before Los Santos has never been a done in a year kind of thing for me. I mean I could do it but I don’t want to. I don’t have the time and the nerve for that. I like how I really sink into this project for one solid month and then don’t touch it for another 11. It sounds weird but it has always been about the journey for me. I find more fun in creating Los Santos than in actually playing the game and thus there is no pressure for me to get this world out by tomorrow. Hell I don’t even know what I should do with it when I’m done. Maybe doing a second version that corrects all the irreversible mstakes I made with this one? I hope not.  I would probably play in it for a week and call it a day.

I don’t know why but I have always been fascinated by this world building aspect. When I play any Sims game I always start to create a world/neighborhood/city and plan out how people live there, what they do and what It’s like to live there. This ambitious playstyle makes It really hard though to just have fun in Sims games and actually get anything done. That may be a stereotypical german trait of me. Not allowed to have fun and even turning games into work.

But it isn’t just sims games. In Minecraft It’s always the goal to create an entire landscape full of villages, fields, forests. But then in other games that are story driven and have a heavy focus on worldbuilding like Mass Effect, Bioshock or Dying Light It’s always my goal to consume as much as I can about the game and its world. I want to know every detail and really “feel the vibe” of it. Now that I think about it that’s also my goal when watching movies. Creating a world and then feeling it has probably been my goal all along.

I don’t even know what to call all that. Am I a storyteller? A creator? What jobs are for these kinds of people? Urban planning? Architect? Director? What do you call these people that always dream of crafting cities/worlds/universes?  God? Megalomaniac? Oh I hope not...

Ok the topic of roads is postponed to next part...
