atp i'm like a mcyt news correspondent to my irls. they all had their phase in 2021 and so whenever they wonder "hey what the fuck is up with those guys anymore" i put on my dumb little hat and say "well, jack manifold went to los pollos hermanos and tubbo is still trying to get that divorce"

some more cc/circle of friends responses speaking out in support of shelby/against wilburs statement: This is not to give them acknowledgement I do believe we should be critical of the circle of friends in their history of silence against abusers. I just want to catalogue their tweets here.

I am not aware of anymore at this time feel free to add on

Okay, so with Quackity Studios tweeting about adding new people and the need for tolerance and patience with people who don't speak English, let's just take a second and have a chat about what that's gonna look like.

First: you will hear things or read things on the translator that hurt or offend you.

This is inevitable. Do not immediately post about it. What you need tolerance for is hearing things that hurt or offend you and what you need patience for is figuring out of malicious intent was present or if this is a hill worth dying on right now.

As an example, we're pretty sure at this point that Korean is gonna be the next language added. The second person pronoun in Korean sounds a lot like the n-word in English. The n-word in English, if you're not aware, is like the single most offensive slur we have. It's not something that you want to hear unexpectedly. But also, if we get Koreans, they're gonna be using the word for "you" and English speakers are gonna have to be able to tolerate that.

On the other side of things, Korean has a complex system of honorifics and addressing someone without an honorific would be considered very forward and intimate at least if not very rude. None of the QSMP languages have honorifics though and only French really retains formality* so no one else is going to address them with honorifics unless they specifically explain it to people and walk them through it. That will probably be weird and uncomfortable for them and they're going to have to be able to tolerate that.

*Spanish and Portuguese do technically have formal vs informal but it's disappearing quickly in both of them.

These natural cultural clashes and pain points are going to be harder to overcome since we also know that at least some of these creators won't speak English at all so they can't just switch to English to helpfully explain things to us easily in a way we understand. We're going to have to deal.

So here's the thing: just because there can be cultural miscommunications and mistranslations, that doesn't mean that people can't also be assholes. How do you distinguish between the two?

Step One: Assume good faith. Assume that everyone in a given encounter is trying to communicate respectfully and compassionately and that a failure to do so can be overcome

Step Two: Don't get involved. Especially not in Twitch Chat. Two or more people trying to communicate through a language barrier does not get easier when they're also trying to wrangle hostile viewers.

Step Three: Are you sure you heard what you thought you heard or saw what you thought you saw? Did the translator fuck up? Is it a word that just coincidentally happens to sound like another word? If this is the case, the streamers can ask for clarification or use another tool and get it cleared up. Keep watching and see if they do.

Step Four: If they did say what you thought they said, are the streamers handling it? We had a thing a while back where Bad called some friends, including Bagi and Etoiles, uncultured because they didn't get a reference he was making and Etoiles was like "bro I'm French" and Bad apologized. That should have been the end of it, but I had to see people arguing about it for weeks. The problem was solved in 10 seconds.

Step Five: If the person is doubling down, are you sure this is something you can fix by yelling about it on Twitter or Tumblr? Would it be better to let people who actually know them talk to them behind the scenes? Pierre made a few missteps in the beginning of the server, Quackity said they had a chat, Pierre hasn't misstepped since. It's just easier to sort things out in private, one on one conversation than yelling at someone in public.

In short: it's fine to take note of behavior in case patterns start to emerge in it, but yelling on social media about how so and so is the worst person possible is not constructive.

The feds propoganda trying to paint the islanders as the bad guys for pressing the island destroying button... girl why was there an island destroying button in the first place!!!

[spr1ngchester]

Anyone else remember that time when there was a chicken named badboyhalo on fox news

Tubbo tweeted on his alt at 3:04 GMT

also erstmal danke für den tag! und danke auch an tumblr die mir die benachrichtigung nen monat später schicken, beste website unter der sonne.

Was die Frage betrifft: da es ja anscheinend bereits den einen oder anderen Kontakt zwischen Basti und Quackity diesbezüglich gab (Quelle: Vertrau mir Bruder, ist ne Weile her aber ich kann mich noch an Gespräche darüber erinnern) wäre er hier natürlich für mich an erster Stelle. Er ist nicht ultra der Roleplayer, aber kann for what its worth gut acten imo und er macht bestimmt gute intersctions mit seiner Englisch-Scheu (man erinnere an Twitch Rivals, wo er seinen Co-Leader Veni vorgeschickt hat um ihn im Interview zu repräsentieren). Seine paar RP-ish Dinger wie Regnuh Semag waren auch nicht bad, er hat da definitiv Potenzial!!

An dieser Stelle muss ich btw zugeben dass ich mich null mit qsmp auskenne außer dass es multilingual ist und irgendwas mit Eiern. Kriege Flashbacks zu meinem Eggpire Basti AU aber machen wir mal weiter.

Wie OP bereits andeutete: Wenn schon Basti, dann gerne auch BSC (Basti, Stegi, Cast)!! Ich denke Stegi benötigt keine Beschreibung, ich will heute auch noch ins Bett, und Cast ist quasi Bob der Baumeister also build und rp technisch wären beides absolute Bereicherungen, keine Frage (und Stegi ist mit seiner niedrigen Hemmschwelle safe das gute Gegenstück falls Basti zu schüchtern ist)

Ich bin jz btw seit n paar jahren nicht mehr so deep drinne in mc, aber ansonsten kann ich mir koch gut n paar classics vorstellen. So die Craft Attack Gründer, SparkofPhoenix, Flocke, anyone from there really they all seem neat. Most of them.

NQRMVN/Veto and NoRisk for my own amusement

And i feel ya, my nostalgic ass also wants the fsq...... howmany years ago was that again? 8? Didya hear paluten got married and became a dad recently? Time isnt real

@ your tags on that post RIGHT like huh. no idea there was that many basti viewers out there. wild. and on the topic of more germans for qsmp ich bin absolut dabei. so true. aber mich würde auch interessieren ob du ideen hast wen du so dabeihaben wollen würdest? ich finds persönlich nämlich irgendwie schwierig festzulegen wer tatsächlich gut dazupassen würde (hauptsächlich weil ich kaum in der deutschen mc szene drin bin lol)

ich bin im selben boot, ich habe deutsches mc seit einigen jahren nicht mehr verfolgt, deswegen leite ich die frage an @spr1ngchester weiter, falls du da eine meinung zu hast :D

vielleicht die gruppe um basti herum? stegi? ich weiß nicht

[spr1ngchester]

i feel proud to see roier in 2nd place <3

im also happy to see mariana, bagi, tubbo and rivers in the list :')

[spr1ngchester]

[spr1ngchester]

You know, when Tommy's video marrying Tubbo came out I remember someone saying that the fact that they said their vows out loud in front of someone who could legally officiate marriages would already make them legally married in some places, but learning they actually signed the paperwork so they are actually, honest to god, legally married because of a fucking video is something else

[spr1ngchester]

i think for an ultimate bracket that takes way too mcu henergy one could also add the minecraft suro contestants

[spr1ngchester]

ooo i think your point is interesting... do you think thered be enough basti viewers actually on tumblr for him to win? (myself excluded despite my profile layout id probably be a loyal glp voter and i think eitehr him, zombey or taddl would win based on tumblr presence, which is why i found your comment so interesting)

I totally forgot about glp-

Not sure how it would be on tumblr, but if such a poll would be on YouTube Basti would definitely win...

Havent seen many basti enjoyers here tho-

Tbh I'm not entirely sure, so I'd guess it would be a close call between Spark, Basti and some of the Freedom Squad :]

[spr1ngchester]

oh yeah basti is crazy popular views-wise. im sure all of paluten and glp’s Minecraft Flucht seasons have ended at this point and the freedom squad is generally variety nowadays instead of minecraft focused. realistically Craft Attack should eitehr still be going on or a new seaso nshoudl start soon? not sure, i dotn keep up with Craft Attack too much!! btu yeah basti is still on his challenge grind and he has stegi and CastCrafter as well as other join him a lot so you could say basti is one of the bigger focus points of german mcyt atm

"varo 5 but the one with most sexyman energy wins" was not on my 2023 bingo card

we've been waiting for so long so maybe its take to take matters into our own hands

[spr1ngchester]

im all in favor of a mcyt sexyman bracket with only german mcyters /former mcyters and streamers btw

[spr1ngchester]

Wait who are the early 2010s german characters I need to know now

Aura Taddl, Varo s1 Zombey, Aura Germanletsplay!

[spr1ngchester]

theres already 5 billion posts about it but fr what i love most about the general mcyt fanartist communities is their respective interpretations of minecraft skins. its so fascinating to see artists take inspiration from each other and designs varying but still being recognizable.
