#gaud discourse

[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

This is the quality content I need from this hellsite. 💯 Scholarly Discourse. 10/10.

why does oscar wilde take 150 pages to write something he could literally say in a paragraph

if I see gaud discourse in 2023 im killing myself

[minafi]

Gaud started a cult and encouraged minors to draw nsfw of their mascot.

they also ate crayons live on stream but i dont think anyone dislikes them because of that specifically, at least not for any reason that isn't "that's a stupid thing to do."

Howdy, I just sifted though 30ish pages of callout posts, closest thing I saw in regards to this is that Guad named their followers their 'cult' (ala cult following) and that they posted the nsfw-mascot contest (not to minors specifically) in protest of the nsfw ban?

Am I misinterpreting anything here?

For people who spend so much time hating on Karen’s, they sure like to treat blogs with many followers as though they’re run by retail workers, and then treat them with all the entitlement of a wealthy person believing every peasant should jump to serve them.

Today’s mood: mad about people who don’t even think twice before being an asshole in the reblogs of a popular post, then cry about it when they’re called out for being an assbole.

I NEVER LEARN to avoid the notes on b-gaud-p callout posts

Half of the notes are like “this behavior is fine, actually,” and the other half is like “for their crimes we will bully this branch of the community,” like there isn’t a single fucking brain cell in sight.

Love that all the people still believing the bullshit Gaud """callouts""" are getting less than ten likes and nothing else like yaaaaaas show everyone y'all don't have lives beyond harrassing people and making up lies

why is gaud still relevant what the fuck

[notlikelyneurotypical-blog]

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.

[legofemme]

Fuck gaud I'm stealing the color pink from that crayon eating bastard n the ppl that defend them

[citysootyowl]

@biggest-gaudiest-patronuses

they're.. interesting. I follow them.

they seem like a good person though! I know there was a lot of discourse surrounding them for a while but they did realize their previous errors and apologize or otherwise disprove every accusation against them I saw.

[lofijazz]

A sigil to focus on for protection from shitty internet negativity for @biggest-gaudiest-patronuses

[gaphic]

a quick scroll through the anti-gaud tag reveals that of the first 20 posts (ONLY anti-gaud posts, so disregarding crosstags, gaud originals, and people asking what the fuck is going on) 8 op’s are aggressive ace exclusionists and queerphobes, 6 are indeterminate due to a search of their blogs turning up no mentions of either, and only 6 are actually ace and queer positive 

that’s not. a GREAT score? 

and so far EVERY gaud anti that i’ve encountered in the wild, without hunting them down, has been an exclusionist/queerphobe

yall aint exactly a delightful bunch

[god-of-sporks]

List of things Gaud has done (discourse)

-Encouraged followers, who they are aware are mostly minors, to draw NSFW fanart of them

-Encouraged followers (mostly minors) to write NSFW fanfic of them

-Fujoshi, likes killing stalking (if you go onto the search on their blog you can see the tags relating to killing stalking and fujoshis in their “frequently posts about”. The tags themselves are cleared)

-In their discord server, there was no age verification, NSFW channels were open to all (NSFW channel was taken down, not sure if it’s back up). Sexual roles were and still are available to all. There was a hentai bot in the NSFW channel, posted shota from time to time. Suggestive comments were made. Someone asked for shadman content not to be posted, was pretty much ignored. Nazi jokes being made. etc

-Reblogged a twelve-year-old’s address twice, while perfectly aware they were twelve.

-Blocking anyone who tries to confront them about their bullshit

EDIT: BUT WAIT THERES MORE

-Has a donation goal of reading NSFW fanfic on livestream

-Supports/likes the mangaka Harada, who is known to produce shota/rape yaoi (post found on wayback machine was Gaud making a post about being actively in the fujoshi fandom. It was tagged fujoshis, boys love, yaoi, and harada. archive date is 15 June, 2017)

-The whole corn hentai post, in which they linked the video. That hentai has a man be sexually assaulted multiple times.

-Says to their followers that the people on the blocklist are all aphobes and TERFs. Their only source for this is an ask they got sent which said that.

[antigaud-priestess]

Okay genuinely I am asking did gaud EVER make a doc/post addressing everything on the callout like they said they would?
