Notice: I'm cleaning up my follows since I haven't been actively watching MCYT stuff for a while now and RN it's all I see on my feed on main (side blogs don't have their own follow lists..)

if I unfollow u and u care about that, rest assured I will eventually re-enter the recurring hyperfixation cycle and I'll be right back here in Hell with the rest of my people, along with refollowing everyone

God bless

Every year I taper off mc content until I more or less forget about it, and then I watch the SMPLive Obama episode and it all comes flooding back and I end up back in the hyperfixation mines for hours every day. Looking forward to next time that happens

maybe sdmp ending was a good thing there was jawsh fanart drama and i didn't have to hear about it 🙏

Enjoying Xiaohongshu. Toxic yaoi is a cultural universal

Scammers pretending to be Palestinian v6

(Scammers pretending to be Palestinian v6)

This guide is meant to inform you on some ways to differentiate legitimate fundraisers from those created by scammers who have been impersonating Palestinians for several months now. While originally I tried to list the scam blogs in these posts, Im just making this now a general overall method to spot scams.

Disclaimer: This guide is not to say all Palestine based asks are from bots or a scammer. Rather, it is meant to explain the reasoning why something is legitimate or not. Do not use this guide as an excuse to claim every single Palestine fundraiser is a scam.

TL;DR: In the span of you saying someone’s bot, you could be using tumblr search instead of telling me your reporting every ask you get as a scam without looking at the account.

One of the first things to keep in mind is that most asks you get will come from accounts who check the notes of a post. Meaning they saw you and decided to send you the ask or DM to share their fundraising post. This is not bot behavior and often is done by those is unfortunate situations that desperately need funding and as a result is a common occurrence across the internet. If this bothers you, it is suggested to turn off your askbox or limit DMs to mutuals instead of the posting in the scam tag that every ask you get is from a scammer when it’s a gfm account that has been vetted by a well known blog that may even be on a list of verified fundraisers if you bothered to look it up.

Secondly, while originally a non-gfm fundraiser may have been suspicious (such as PayPal or gogetfunding) it has since been decided and clarified that such fundraisers are now used when a gfm is shut down unexpectedly and the original creator informs the donors that they will need to resend it their support to a new fundraiser. If you do not see any mention of a previous gfm in a PayPal/gogetfunding post there is a possibility that searching parts of the post may show that the content is from someone else and the source may still be active with no mention of tumblr itself indicating the tumblr post is impersonating the real gfm.

Thirdly, due to language barriers legitimate accounts may use asks from other vetted fundraiser blogs with only minor edits. While this isn’t something I’d suggest doing, it’s understandable the situation unfortunately relies on copying someone else’s words to ask for support. However, please don’t reuse the post content unless you were given permission or are related to the original fundraiser such as being a family member. Images may be borrowed from other accounts, though they may be stolen from offsite places. This is not full proof of a scam, as it’s suggested to search around for proof of who originally posted the images. Please understand not everyone is natively an English speaker and Google translate isn’t always accurate. Some may reuse someone else’s posts unaware that it’s suspicious behavior.

Fourthly, most scam accounts have reused a certain style of ask often mentioning needing insulin (Humalog) for a relative, having nose freezes due to asthma, being down to their last pen and asking for “nt much”, or referring to their family being in the ruins of a church. The frequency of these asks is so common searching them in tumblr search should bring up plenty of posts. Additionally, the names used by these accounts generally appear across multiple blogs that have been seen running different kinds of scams later on. A majority of their posts are almost always stolen off a real fundraiser they don’t link to.

Fifthly, in regards to verification it is very easy to search a username and see who vetted an account. Scammers will often say they’re verified but don’t list who or even paste a username that has never existed at all when you go to check. If asked about it, they generally will opt to block you without responding. There are people who will take time out of their day to ensure someone’s legitimate just be patient.

Lastly, don’t just assume every Palestinian gfm is a scam and stop acting like sharing a scam is fine because you don’t want to accidentally ignore someone in need. If you regularly see the posts from legitimate blogs and share them you would eventually be able to tell the day old private PayPal account asking for insulin funds is suspiciously asking for a low amount of funds compared to everyone else.

just a reminder that if you name something in your tags people will still see it in the maintag... even if you only use tags like "jschlatt smut" or "slimecicle x reader" people who don't want to see it still have to because tumblr search shows everything with that word in the tags

and stop crosstagging stuff about content creators with smp tags - i search smplive to see content about the minecraft server smplive, i don't want to see stuff that has nothing to do with it just because a guy was on it

[schlauttism]

whatever man

[schlauttism]

got that dawg in me

[schlauttism]

i love explaining how batshit insane neopets is to people. hey guys. just so you're aware, this website has a functioning in-game stock market

eclectic taste (not to be confused with good taste) is the only thing you actually need to be a good artist. i don't care if you like the right things, i literally only care abt the multitude of experiences and practices you have ingested.

[schlauttism]

so much has already changed in my mcyt tastes since I made this account.. I'd honestly say I'm more into Fundy, Traves, and Jawsh's minecraft stuff than I am with schlatt at this point..

but I don't change the name because you have to remember your roots 💪

my heart says add vinesauce joel VOTV playthrough to this list but my mind says that's just your current fixation you fucking dork

HEY YOU!

if YOU have MCYT autism, you may be interested in getting hyperfixated on THESE non-minecraft things...

-Vinesauce's Vineland Island Tomodachi Life series

Had its own sexyman, Vlinny, and oodles of fanart. The SB edits (https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUIE_CDqQ0YlTMriTb9uwKnDsRDwra07X) are the best way to watch if you don't want to watch full vods. Don't go for the extended special, it tries to cram literal days of footage into an hour and a half and leaves out nearly everything.

-PBG Hardcore

Watch clueless people stumble through block games they're bad at! If someone dies, they're out of the series, to be mourned by their allies! No need to watch in order. Lots of the seasons are Minecraft, but it's also a lot of other games too.

-Jreg's centricide series

a rabid sect of neurodivergent teens got fixated on this one back in its prime. I remember the politics yaoi. this one may come with "cringe" and "problematic" caveats given the subject matter is political extremism. cringe is only a problem if you're weak, anyways

-HFJONE

not remotely the same type of content but it's just vibes man my crystal ball is telling me this one hoovered up some ppl who were obsessed with SAD-ist's DSMP stuff

-Jerma

all of him.

-Mr. Samuel Streamer's "Rimworld: Generations" series

Rimworld provides the stories and Mr. Streamer provides the interpretation and pizzazz. A teeny microfandom makes art in his discord. "prepare to die - archonexus" had some great emergent story moments too! There's probably even more gems on his channel I haven't seen.

My highly biased picks. Promo your own suggestions in the tags!!

made some streamer-specific chat member designs... these 3 have been living in my head for weeks and i only now was able to illustrate them with confidence

my thought process for anyone interested:

vinechat:

vinesauce shroom on head but its purple and has a c (for chat) instead of a v

big oversized comfy sweater because i know many ppl sleep to vinny's streams

rain boots because i like to think of them frolicking in a forest amongst the mushrooms

vargchat:

fren hat and fren shirt color (in the actual designs on the bottom, not with the blinky shirt obviously LOL)

anti-marcianito ufo graphic tee

i made them wear a graphic tee because i've noticed that joel's chat is very nerdy

mikechat:

jazz mister headband and hoodie

they're wearing stained underwear because they're crusty

gay socks because gay.

toothpick because they're copying mike (the chat is a reflection of the streamer)

anyway chat ily i hope you feel represented by these dweebs :)
