About the 'Skizz Situation' and why the fan community is not being a good representation of what it wants to claim.
Before I get started, I need y'all to read this with an open mind and an open heart. This is not an attack on you, or at all. It is me pointing out what I see and hoping to bring stuff to your attention. For those who don't know, the 'light' (and ultimately not entirely correct) synopsis going around is that Skizz got a donator asked Skizz to say 'trans rights' and he didn't because it was 'too political'. The reality? Skizz was chilling and vising with his chat having some good times and stuff, didn't vet the dono before starting to read it outloud, and that dono more or less said that they were a 'long time' viewer of Skizz and (the wording almost felt aggressive/accusing) didn't feel he did enough for the community and wanted him to say Trans rights. Skizz in the moment and trying to keep things light said he was just wanting to vibe with his chat and didn't want his channel to address things too 'political' (he clarified later he meant Polarizing) and he has nothing against nobody. He then followed up in the comments that clarification (which, lets be real, it is polarizing) that he didn't want his community to foster hatred in his comment section and its not the forum to have those debates (which is FINE. He is allowed to have boundaries. Those boundaries were set not just for himself but to protect his LGBTQ+ watchers) and of course he supports the LGBTQ+ community and Trans rights. Something else I wish to point out: This donator claimed to be a long time viewer of Skizz. Frankly I don't believe them or anyone who who is listening to any of this. He has been MORE than open about his support of the community in the past, and often. His last stream before all this was even him talking with Gem and Lizzy, two Bi women, about Bi stuff. That dono was made to stir the pot. To either make him say something to cause hatred in his comment space, or make him slip up and get the community to dislike him. So- how is the community a poor representation of what we claim? Well a lot of the claims the LGBTQ+ community makes is wanting people to grow. To want Allies. To support other discriminated groups. So- They see this Man- this DISABLED man (Skizz has MS) who has OPENLY SUPPORTED them in the past, make a slip up of words, and refuse to understand where is is coming from, why he may want to keep things 'good vibes' and just more normalized (because the very much Gay coded jokes and stuff he and Imp and Gem and the others make NORMALIZES the community which is AMAZING), Who himself is straight and comes from a very red state so may not 100% understand how to word what he means correctly, and basically tries to burn him at the stake. To take away his income. People want to Boycott him over this. To basically destroy his life. (Because he quit his Job to be a full time content creator, and he is still a very small one at that.) Tell me, how does that make anyone ever want to support this community? How does that show kindness and understanding? To make people want to grow? How does any of this treatment make you the better person? Because, long story short, it doesn't.
Now some of you are bringing up his mods, how two may be trump supporters. True or not (I haven't seen evidence of this? But I won't dismiss it), you also need to think of a few things in terms of that. They have been his mods for 5+ years. Mods often are close and friends of the streamers, especially small streamers which he is/was. People, can be friends with people of different political parties. You may not want to, but when I tell you that cutting people off because of a political opinion is new, its NEW. And a lot from the older gen wouldn't even dream of it. Furthermore they are (as far as I know) volunteers. He does not pay them (again, small streamer). He needs mods to run his channels and without them he can not do his job safely, especially for his community. And many people will not do this job for Free (at least not well). He can't just replace them overnight. Give him time to have those hard conversations if he chooses to have them. It's not like they have even brought those beliefs into their work or his streams. Long story short, Be good. Not just to each other but to Skizz himself. Have the understanding you would want people to have for you if you slip up with good intentions. Crucifying someone who supports y'all does nothing good for this community.

My exact thoughts
Did I just hear about the skizzleman stuff?yeah. And I have some words. First of all, no, I am not trans. Currently I identify as a cis female but I've been having gender struggles recently. I am queer, however, and I do have a friend group who is predominantly queer and trans. Second of all, I am canadian, so being queer is not that much of a political issue where I live, but homophobia and transphobia exists around me and I see it all the time.
From what I've seen, a lot of people have been twisting Skizz' words and overreacting a little bit. What he said was not right, I know this, but I also realized that it was something any of the middle aged men in my life might say on impulse. People have the right to be angry about it, but making him seem like a villain or worse, a conservative, isn't right. In his apology, he says that what he said was instant and not well thought out. I'm sure everyone has a moment where they have said something they didn't mean, and regretted it later. I definitely have. Does this mean what he said was OK? No, but it does mean that his apology is acceptable. He knows what he did wrong, and he acknowledged that. That's one of the best things someone can do.
The other issue is surrounding his mods. I do think that people who claim to be in support of one community, shouldn't work with people who directly contradict that, but I don't think this is skizz' fault. I work with people who have opposing views than me every day, but it's not like I can just remove them or myself from work because of it. No, I didn't hire them, but skizz needs someone to do a job for him, one that maybe he can't find anyone better to do because of availability or pay. They could also be long time friends of his, and sometimes it's hard to just end a relationship like that. Hiring and paying those people does not make skizz a bad person. It makes him a little ignorant, yes, but your community, friends and coworkers do not reflect exactly who you are as a person.
Skizz is not transphobic, or homophobic, I think he is a middle aged white man living in a red state who is likely a little ignorant and uneducated when it comes to those issues. Though I do recognize what he said was wrong, I believe he can be redeemed, both with his apology and educating himself. As much as I would like him to fire his mods, he likely won't. It's not easy to just go find another one who exactly fits your schedule and needs. I think we have to look past them and see skizz as his own person, with his own faults.
I love skizz, and I personally am willing to forgive him. If something like this happens again, though, I'd be less inclined. I just don't want to see him torn apart by his community when he was so reluctant to do full time content creation because of financial issues.
Just a little ramble, if I didn't put it here, It would probably end up in my notes app so I might as well do something with it.

The above is a video shared by smrchildsadness on Twitter, showing a person participating in a pride parade exchanging a pride flag with a person standing on his (am using his pronoun based on the TikToks/Tweets of what happened) doorway who had a Portuguese flag. There are sounds of cheers and crying and the two people hug each other as they exchange the flags. The man at the doorway then waved kisses to the crowd within the pride parade.
The Tweet says: "NO YOU DONT UNDERSTAND HE WAS WAVING THE PORTUGUESE FLAG BECAUSE HE DIDN'T HAVE A PRIDE FLAG AND THEY TRADED FLAGS AND HE'S SO EMOTIONAL TO GET HIS OWN PRIDE FLAG I'M EMOTIONALLY RUINED"
For context, apparently they were worried that maybe he's a nationalist because he was waving the Portuguese flag and some nationalists opposing the pride march were waving that flag. But upon interacting with him, it turns out he didn't have have a pride flag and he wanted to wave *a* flag in support of the pride march. So they had an exchange and now he has his own pride flag 😭🥹.

The image above is a Tweet by kunwara_ladkaa that says "I'm crying so much right now (Image taken by Manuel Fernando Araújo/Lusa)". The image shows the same man from the pride parade crying as he hugs his new pride flag.

The above image is a Tweet by dudz_zZzz that says "ainda não parei de pensar nele," which according to Google translate from Portuguese to English is "I still haven't stopped thinking about him." The image is a drawing of the person from the pride parade, crying as he hugs his new pride flag.

Being trans is such an emotional roller coaster. One minute I’m so happy and I feel like a real man, I can start seeing a future for myself, and I feel like I might make it to adulthood but then ten minutes later I’m one the verge of tears because it feels like I’ll never have a true safe space, I’ll never be truly supported, and everything is terrible.
I know I’m being irrational and I’m probably just going through normal teenager things. I don’t know. I’ve actually had a really good day but then I saw one negative trans related thing and suddenly everything is terrible.

Joe: This is why it took me ten years to go from “getting started” to full-time streamer. This is not the way to make it big.

I really like this, it actually makes a lot of sense. Now it also makes sense why I project on him so much. I have OCD and I’ve always seen parts of myself in him I guess.
I remember a bit ago you said that c!impulse has OCD and I was curious if you’d talk more about it.
yes i did say that!! i can totally talk about it a little bit more :D
it really jumped out at me after watching his wild life and seeing him behave in ways that i find myself behaving (experiencing paranoia, doing odd things to soothe said paranoia, having thoughts that have no sound proof in reality, etc)
for example, his routine of standing under things whenever a new wildcard was called. his obsession was the idea of “creeper rain”, and his compulsion was to hide beneath things.
i like to think a lot of his obsessions revolve around objects and events. he’ll organize things in certain ways, always prepare for things well before he needs to, and is prone to frequently checking his pockets and bags (“just in case”, he says).
a lot of it also feeds into his perfectionism. between that and the way his brain functions, he often finds himself freaking out over things if they don’t work out exactly how he wanted them to. like if his texturing on a building is off or if he built something too far to one side. he will spend hours upon hours tweaking it to make it perfect so his brain can finally rest.
(remember the whole pyramid fiasco in season seven? this man moved an entire build up ONE BLOCK because it felt wrong. if that’s not a prime example of OCD, i don’t know what is)
this is also why i think his character has issues with texturing his builds. i act a similar way whenever i have to make art look “random.” there’s just this mental block in my head that i feel like he experiences as well, hence why it’ll sometimes take him multiple attempts to texture things in a way that doesn’t feel “wrong.”
in my head, he was unmedicated for the LONGEST time, so it took him a little while to find a medication that actually worked for him. and while it doesn’t ease his symptoms completely, it does help him handle them a little better. which he’s VERY grateful for, considering OCD can be debilitating if you’re unable to cope with it.
i also headcanon that players’ usual medications aren’t given to them in the death games because the watchers want to see their most “authentic selves”, hence why his OCD was particularly bad in wild life (the environment he found himself in certainly didn’t help, either).
but yeah :D that’s just a little insight into that specific headcanon ^_^
