I could never understand people who treat DSMP like a dead fandom or feel ashamed of still adoring this piece of media in 2024. After all, isn’t the whole point of enjoying any story to keep it in your heart for years instead of forgetting about it the moment it loses its popularity? How did classical literature or old movies/series survive and remain appreciated until today, for example? The DSMP fandom is alive because there still are people who deeply care about the characters, and it will keep on living until there’s at least one person passionate about it.

It is true that the DSMP fandom was bigger in 2020-2022, but it’s also important to remember the quality of the fanbase at the time. I remember seeing so much more harassment, especially directed towards people interested in portraying c!Prime’s canonically abusive dynamic without even exploring the aspect of /p physical affection; many people were forced to deactivate their accounts because of the insane amount of toxic reactions. There were also A Lot of people incapable of understanding that CC’s characters weren’t supposed to represent their real life personalities, which either led to certain CC’s harassment for being “horrible people” or to misinterpretation of certain characters (e.g. c!Dream, c!George, c!Sapnap, c!Quackity, or c!Sam), a huge amount of poor lore comprehension, leading to Lots of victim-blaming and abuse apologism.

Now that DSMP is over and less popular, a significant amount of people responsible for the fandom’s poor reputation is gone, and people who genuinely understand the characters and simply want to discuss and/or create content for their hyperfixation in peace, stayed. Of course, this fandom isn’t perfect or entirely free of Weird™ people, but there’s certainly less toxicity, and it’s all that matters.

The next time you feel ashamed of still enjoying DSMP, try to remind yourself of the wonderful memories, excitement, creativity boost, and friends it brought you, and focus on the fact that this story will remain alive for as long as you let it.

insane to me that some people still think that you can say ctommy and cdream are separate and should be viewed separately narratively speaking when a big chunk of the dsmp’s story was driven through cdream’s obsession with ctommy. no im not saying cdream was in the right but its no fun to see people water them down to just cdream using ctommy as a side piece and less like an objective he had to conquer and subdue to fit his regime. or turn around and say ctommy’s story did not revolve much around the abuse he sustained from that in the same breath because it DID and. man. man

Dream tweeting about the dsmp and saying most of the creators would’ve never collaborated together otherwise when like… a good amount were on SMPEarth BEFORE THE DSMP is just so funny to me

nothing more liberating then seeing a bad dsmp take and delightedly picking it up by the scruff of the neck and bringing it to my roommates to drop at their feet like a proud cat while they all lose their minds.

Said this on twt, I'll say it here:

As someone who is neurodivergent, I hate people using the "Well I'm neurodivergent, so I can say it."

No. Fuck that.

If you are using the word as it's intended purpose, you are using it as a slur. It doesn't matter if you are part of the group who can say it.

If you are using the word as a slur, you are saying a slur. End of discussion. You are not reclaiming it, you are using the slur to hurt people, which was why it was made.

Dream's upset because he got called out for using a slur as a slur. Tough shit. Don't use fucking slurs.

WHY IS DREAM LAUGHING??? HE BASICALLY ACCUSED TOMMY OF A CRIME. It's clearly defamation

"I pointed him in a bad light" "It's just a clap back"

YOU THINK ACCUSING SOMEONE OF PROFITING OF CHILD LABOUR IS A CLAP BACK?????

I'm so done with this manchild

[the-jovial-jester]

I fully apologize to all my current followers who had no idea I was a dsmp fan at one point in my life 😔 I'm getting dragged back to twitch hell so if you get some streamer drama reblogs in your feed don't panic.
