#gaud callout

[neurotypical-karen]

It’s kinda crazy to remember that the widest-reaching callout post I’ve ever seen against one of the biggest funnyman bloggers on this site started because they ate a handful of crayons on livestream to pay for rent

[garecc]

Blinks. I understand the point of redacted post is to refer to a very specific sort of individual. But also why are we pairing liking a tumblr funnyman autistic trans blogger who was at the center of a terf-led harassment campaign for about 3 years with. Liking dream hamilton and hazbin hotel? Like sure gaud was big with chronically online people but. Blinks. Blinks. Blinks. Dream defended his transphobia by asking tubbo what pronouns are and I watched it live. Gaud tried to fundraise rent and one of the stretch goals was eating crayons and they got a callout post written about this. What are we doing. "They fundraised for rent and bought alcohol with the money" no they successfully managed to pay their rent and celebrated with a 30 dollar alcoholic beverage bottle is that a sin why are we still. Doing this?

hi sorry may i ask what happened with the user with the young lenin screenshot ? if you dont want to explain dw its fine im just curious and confused

oh i phrased the caption too vaguely, the person in the screenshot is just a rando that added something stupid onto an existing post, the op of that post is the one that has me blocked

under the cut is my impassionate recounting of some stupid ass tumblr drama from ages ago that noone should reignite and PLEASE DONT GO BULLY OP none of this matters in any way and it's been many many years. anyway

cw for brief mentions of homophobia and strange behaviour towards minors

op of the post (gaud) was involved in some stupid drama ages ago that consisted of ppl calling them out for homophobia (kinda warranted but eh), soliciting explicit drawings and fanfic from minors (which did happen, they didn't target minors specifically but their following was mostly made up of minors), and ebegging for rent money which they then spent on champagne. what makes the last thing even funnier is that they did this by eating a ton of crayons on a livestream. they mostly got flack for this coz like i said earlier most of their followers were minors and thus most of the ppl donating were (or were assumed to be) minors. and also coz they didn't spend the money on what they said they would. and also coz they filmed themselves eating crayons on stream.

now in hindsight these callouts mainly happened because people found them annoying and wanted a reason to hate them like i do think these all deserve criticism but also lowkey who gives a shit. this is tumblr. i still think they're annoying but the whole callout was very much a product of its time coz everyone was obsessed with doing callouts back then. OH EDIT. ALSO. someone made an anti gaud blocklist lmfaooo i did not make it on there despite literally being blocked by gaud for posting abt the drama. but whatever. thats fine. i dont even care. whatever. sniffles. shuffles feet. whatever. kicks rock

im not saying what they did was ok or wasn't ok im saying i don't care at all coz i go outside now and usually if i see their posts i just scroll past coz i love having fun and i don't like getting annoyed but the addition i posted made me laugh really hard. i cant even decide what's funnier someone (especially someone insinuating they're a communist) confusing stalin and lenin or someone genuinely thinking young lenin is sexually appealing. anyway sorry to everyone who read this you could've used this space in your mind for many many better things but now it's gonna have this in there instead

I am so upset over the Gaud "discourse" (bullying) I can't sleep, so here is me running through the "reciepts" because every time Gaud talks someone jumps on and attacks..

A little perspective, I had never heard of @biggest-gaudiest-patronuses until last month. So I'm not an avid follower, I didnt participate in Gaudapocolpyse, or watch any of the livestreams- I just hate bullying and railroading. I am a female Autistic Jew who has survived childhood sexual abuse (and I'm adding that because of some of the stuff people are accusing Gaud of).

I went through the "reciepts" you can find on biggest-gaudiest-callout the updated version as of January 27, 2019 and I made notes. So buckle up cause this is going to be a long post. Bear with me I am on a cell phone so there will probably be a plethora of grammar and spelling errors. Here goes:

-the callout starts by stating that Guad is 27 and has a mostly minor fanbase this statement is made on the assumption that tumblr is 13+ and Guad makes "teenage humor" whatever that means, I'm a legal adult and I like the jokes, and one anon stating that they and their friends are 13/14. So it is just flat out assuming and you know what they say about assuming.

-next it states that Gaudpocalypse was a protest for the NSFW ban, which isn't true. It actually started because a person commented about an actual holiday (I believe in Catholasism) that had to do with pink that fell on the day. It was in the works before tumblr announced the change, so this was flat out bad fact checking.

-Gaud also commented that the "sexy" fan art they were expecting was Patrick Star in fishnets type stuff. They used NSFW, because as a fellow autistic they were taking it literally to mean Not Safe For Work, so not something you'd want to explain to a boss or co-worker- not porn.

-They have already addressed the Tuba fanfic, which is also not porn.

-Taking "age is just a number. a number estimating your proximity to death." to be pedophile related are purposely ignoring Guad's morbid death humor that they are known for.

-If we are vilifying people for reading yaoi, add me to the list. I went through a hard SasuNaru phase and not even 5% of it was G rated. (and you know what, I was a minor when I got into it and now that I've aged out of minorhood doesnt mean that I instantly stop liking what I liked).

-Shota: I went through a phase where I read rape, pedophilia, and even incest fanfics. And you know what, it was actually encouraged by my therapist. Sometimes people look at dark things because they are trying to work through their trauma. Now I don't know Guad's past, I don't know if there was abuse or anything, but either way: reading a manga, a fanfic, or even watching anime does not make you an abuser or pedophile. Sometimes it is a person the pedophile left behind trying to take control or figure things out. (The comparison is like saying that people that read James Patterson are serial killers or that only perverts watch Law and Order SVU).

-P.S. stop calling manga child porn. It cheapens what child porn actually is and the victims of it.

-"Recommending" Big Mouth on Netflix, personally I haven't watched a single episode, but it seems about the same level as South Park. It isnt meant for kids. And it obviously got approved by Netflix, so take it up with them if you don't like it.

-Okay hot take, apparently saying you don't want MAPs interacting with you coupled with wanting to know if someone is over 18 before you find them attractive makes you a pedophile- makes sense /sarcasm

-As a Jew, the whole sumptuary laws post was witty word play not antisemitism that Gaud wasnt even the OP for. (although the laws themselves are hella antisemitic, or at least were used for that purpose.) ((still doesnt make the two equal)).

-Wearing a kimono is not racist- I think you need a dictionary and a lesson on racism.

-Autism and Asexuality; Guad's post was about figuring yourself out and said "people on the autism spectrum are significantly more likely than general populace to identify as asexual or aromantic" - this is statistically accurate, there is no ableist statement here. They did not say all Autistics are asexual or that Autistics can't have romantic or sexual relationships, Gaud simply stated a fact and it was said in a post about themselves ans trying to figure out what they are.

-Reblogging a 12 year olds address for furbies, yeah not a good or smart decision and Gaud deleted the post. Nothing else can be done about it now and this happened over a year ago and as far as I've seen Gaud learned for the mistake ans hasn't done anything like that again.

-The Discord Server. Gaud asked for the server to be taken down. People are blaming Guad because they created the server and when they left things went south. The users were breaking Discord ToS and doing horrible things. However l, blaming Guad because they created the server is like blaming Ford for drunk drivers because they made the car.

-Canabalism- this is laughable. 98% of the time Gaud is posting as an incorpreal eldritch being...just really look at the blog as a whole and ask yourself if you're making smart conclusions.

-The "crayon fiasco": Guad raised money to eat a crayon on livestream. People have taken issue with this for a variety of reasons. 1) "Gaud said the money was for rent and bought champagne" no, no they didnt, that was a joke. The money was indeed for rent, the cheap champagne was bought with a gift card. 2) "The money could have gone to medical expenses or someone in need." People are allowed to give and not give however they see fit. This arguement is about as strong as standing in front of a movie theater and shouting that the patrons should donate their money to food banks instead of watching a show and when they still go watch the movie calling the movie evil forexisting. 3) "Gaud is manipulating minors into giving them money" first of all most minors don't have that much money and I see it no more manipulative (actually I see it way less manipulative) than my sister asking my mom for money for Club Penguin. It is paying for entertainment which we do all the time and I still have yet to see the stats that it is "mostly minors".

I'm just over everyone railroading and bullying Gaud. When Guad does apologize for something people start screaming that the apology is manipulation. You have made a situation where there is no winning. Gaud ignores the callouts and you don't like. Gaud asks for information on some of the accusations and they get called names. Gaud apologizes ans gets accused of manipulating. What do you honestly want? You have built an argument on stunted facts, and just scream loud enough and long enough trying to get Guad to break. People have already started blocking Guad based on the telephone game of rumors and "reciepts" that I just went through. Enough is enough. If you don't want to follow Gaud or read their posts that is up to you, but just be quiet already. In the words of Frozen "Let It Go".

@biggest-gaudiest-patronuses if you want me to take this down I will, it is your business after all. I just couldn't stand idly by and watch what these people are doing.

[storm-of-feathers]

Idk I'm getting really really really really really tired of very stupid or very PRIVATE things being put on the same level as "is also a huge bigot and openly racist as hell"

[mxveewz]

I have so much respect for the people that tag their post with a thousand things barely related to their post

[bitch-is-for-okay]

am i gonna be canceled if i make a "gaud's bad: debunked" post, or is the internet gonna be cool about it?

[rotationalsymmetry]

Thought I might have found an exception to the principle of "if there's more than 2-3 dni/byf's, at least one will definitely apply to me, so observing the list itself is sufficient" -- but no.

Y'know, chances are people with massive lists like that don't actually mean you can literally never like/reblog anything they post, they might just mean they don't want to get into certain kinds of arguments --

yeah, no, that one was definitely a divide up the social sphere thing.

fuck it, she can block me if she wants to. I'm not going to keep putting effort into doing other people's BS gatekeeping for them.

[c-orgiis]

picrew tumblr gets really mad when you call out their favorite unfunny blogger for being shitty huh 💔

[mariposakitten]

I actually read the entire Gaud callout post, including clicking ALLLLL the links (I was very bored at work) and I promise you're not missing anything important or even interesting.

speaking of those dni-if-you-follow-this-person lists, why is gaud always included on those?

it can't be because of the grinch fic seeing as it started before that, and literally the only thing I've ever seen from them otherwise is stupid viral joke posts. wtf dark horrors am I missing??

Near as I can tell gaud has the audacity to be human while being semi-popular on tumblr

[antigaud-priestess]

@gaudout gaud is literally promoting their shirts of their icon (which is a Japanese coin bank they dont own) on etsy

Yet I still dont see anything related to them responding to their callout 🤔🤔🤔

[thatwitchrevan]

This site frustrates me so much sometimes. As in the actual userbase. The latest stupid discourse I've seen is whether a popular blogger is a horrible person, evidence for horribleness being 1) started a thing where people all had the same icon for like, a day 2) has a discord about them that they didn't start and don't run that has some gross people in it. Now I don't know hardly anything about too blogger and if they're genuinely doing anything wrong, but the fact that people can make fucking callout posts based on this weak ass shit and other people listen to them and the them seriously is gross. We really fucking do go too far sometimes. You don't get any better of a person for making a useless 'callout' post for stupid shit. Just quit it.

[tignya]

What the actual fuck is going on with all this Gaud shit

I know about the whole dumbass stream thing with the crayons and spending money they said they needed for rent on unimportant items, plus just... getting their fans to change their icon for a while and while that’s all crazy bullshit, I’m guessing there’s something bigger going on to get such a crazy reaction from ppl???

Or is it just because of the aforementioned bullshit plus the fact that they’re a popular blog and only moderately humorous at most?

Also what’s the blocklist thing and why are ppl saying it’s mostly aphobes and terfs when the people I’ve seen ask to get on it obviously aren’t????

[antigaud-priestess]

Who claimed the callout was misgendering gaud bc I've read it and from what ive seen the doc author used they/them pronouns the whole time

[campyvillain]

gaud is considered funny? they have STANS? i literally havent seen or heard of them since the callout

I know. I know. Walks with you in the field
