Genuinely so curious who Mike thinks is gonna be buying The Cage or the new DCTL GN bc with the way he tweets as far as he's concerned, it's not gonna be:

The queer people he has actively admitted he will never show any representation of in the games.

2. The POC he has actively fought against representing in his franchise. [Who he also mocked for thinking they would be represented in his franchise]

3. The Bendy fandom which has always been concerned with topics of diversity esp in the sense of queer people since its creation. Who he has responded to really poorly esp in regards to the GN.

4. The fans who critique him. [He blocked me for doing so lol]

5. His fans in general who he tweets about like this currently. [He's being vague about why people were mad at him or sent him 'nasty messages' because if you actually looked into why you'd see he was in the wrong. Either way, a very hateful way to speak abt ur own fanbase.]

Reminder while Mike is trash talking his fans he has always treated them rather poorly. The fans who won the fanart contest for Chapter 5 never got their posters actually in game due to it being rushed. Not only was chapter 5 a big slap to the face story wise, but it was literally so rushed he couldn't be bothered to add in the art his fans gave him for his game FOR FREE. [Meatly blames this on a crazy timeline, reminder him and Mike are the literal ceos of this company. The proposal of future updates here is also pretty cruel considering Mike nowadays happily admits he corrupted Chapter 5's source code and therefore literally can't update it At All currently. Because he is a moron]

At least they got to be in Boris and the dark survival, and by that I mean that was the Only game they got to be in so far, isn't that just treating your fans like you love them? Shoving their hard work into a spin off game almost nobody has played or addresses much. [Hell, who knows if with the Lone Wolf rebrand they'll even stay there. In which case they'll be in None of the games, only in the credits of BATIM]

6. The Bendy fans who just generally disagree with him on stuff. Like the new ink demon design where there is literally a public poll showing people generally prefer the old one.

7. The Bendy fans who can see he is actively lying to them. To their fucking faces.

He says this has always been the case, but screenshots and links to tweets regarding the books being canon prove it was not. Does he really think bendy fans are stupid or something? [Unless he's admitting here he lied to Kress when he told her the books were canon which sounds worse!]

8. Anyone who doesn't like the idea of giving money to a guy who laid off tons of employees then afterwards thought it was a great idea to express his anti-union views! Also brag about how good of an employer he was, according to his employees, he was not!

So in summary; Mike is an awful person who has not learned anything from the awful things he did. I will not be purchasing The Cage because, combined with this and his absolute refusal to take any kind of critique or see any differing interpretation of his franchise, I have no reason to think my problems with the franchise will ever be addressed or fixed. I probably will pirate The Cage along with any future Bendy Products [Including the movie] and will do my best to avoid giving it any kind of monetary support. Unless this changes any time soon, I can't see myself making anymore positive Bendy posts soon.

Mike has just managed to make it so hard to speak positively or optimistically of this franchise when he's so willing to broadcast how little he cares about it or its fans. I'm at the point where I refuse to pull any of my punches with my problems with it. What's the point of trying to play nice with my critique when either way the people creating it don't care?

So with this post, I want to invite anyone who feels similarly about the franchise to tell me, make a post or send an ask talking about how all of this makes you feel. It may not change how things are, but genuinely seeing other people share my feelings of anger makes me feel better. It feels nice to see when other people share our same concerns and worries. I'd also love to know if anyone else thinks they'll be avoiding purchasing Bendy products over this.

I'm not forcing anyone to participate in it nor trying to say anyone who doesn't supports mike but genuinely maybe if we can collectively decide to boycott things like the movie, graphic novel and The Cage... It might at least make the bendy devs acknowledge how much they have destroyed their own fandom's faith and trust in them.

The way Mike tweets about his actions like he had no control over why people were mad at him at least proves to me he takes NONE of it back nor regrets it. If you didn't know about his actions and only went off his tweets, you would be led to believe Mike has been needlessly picked apart by fans over things he couldn't control [or in his own words, had his words twisted and taken out of context]. That is not how you speak about your actions if you have actually learned better from them.

anyway, that has been my bendy dev callout post. This is an open invitation to anyone feeling similarly upset about the way the franchise is going to talk about it. It's genuinely nice to see how people feel about this and the more we talk about the more it's likely the bendy devs are forced to address our concerns. I don't think they will but hey, that's why I'm not gonna support them with my money anymore nor am I gonna be nice to them in any content I make critiquing Bendy. I mean I'm also basically making this post just in case anyone asks me Why I feel this way towards to bendy devs/as a way to respond to anyone who thinks I am too harsh in my critique in the future.

As always, it seems the best part of Bendy isn't actually anything about canon but about what the fan's are creating with the ideas Bendy failed to do anything interesting with.

Also the books, the books slap.

I WON'T ANNOUNCE MY SHEER DESCENT BUT HOLY FUCK THERE WILL BE SIGNS

[tachiharastanacc]

Tachihara losing his brother and not understanding what he was feeling or how to deal with it since he was so young (5). And as he gets older, he starts to wonder if he really missed his brother or he missed the idea of having a brother.

He assumes that because he’s grown since then and it feels so distant that he could handle it if it were to happen now. Maybe that’s because he’s killed people of his own. But he never really wants to dwell on it.

Turns out. It’s not. It hurts just as much, but now he blames himself as well. Why wasn’t he there? Why didn’t he stop Fukuchi when he had the chance? If he’d just asked for help, this all could’ve been avoided.

He’s always been a loner to some extent, never good at processing feelings, always wanting to belong but feeling like he was an outsider.

It’s not until they’re all gone that he realizes how much emptier he feels without them.

Shunzen may have been his brother by blood, but as much as he doesn’t wanna face it. Tachihara barely remembers him.

He remembers them. He spent the last 6 years being raised by them. They always encouraged him, supported him, even when the government and fate itself were trying to control them. And yet.

He wasn’t there.

I feel like I'm going insane. That episode read to me as a lot more tragic than other people are reading it. Yeah they were racist and rich and spoiled and awful but they were just kids. They were all just kids. Lindy was absolutely terrified throughout the whole thing and clinging desperately to what she knew, which was terrible. They could've had the chance to learn and become better but they chose to go die and it's infuriating and tragic because nobody deserves that. Nobody deserves to be eaten by slugs or die of exposure in the woods. Nobody deserves to suffer like that. But they chose it rather than let the Doctor help them because they'd rather stay in their rich white supremacist bubble and he just wants to help and there's nothing he can do.

Maybe it's because one of my core beliefs is that nobody deserves death and suffering. Nobody. Even the worst person on earth can learn from their mistakes and come back and change and everyone deserves that chance. There's no such thing as too late. But they're never going to get that chance because they actively rejected it and to me that's still very, very sad.

Your family have something precious.

Someone comes and kills your family and steals your family’s precious thing.

You try to get it back but you can’t they are too powerful

Then someone else comes and beats the bad guy and takes the precious thing.

But they will not give it back to you.

Their argument is they did all the hard work. They risked their lives. They lost their friends and family to fight Evil while you tried but failed.

Surely they deserve a little piece of rewards?

Also, they said you do not own that precious thing to begin with. That thing is too good and must be shared with everyone for maximum benefit.

But you grew up with that precious thing in your home and lost your family over that thing and you want to keep it. You dead family will want to have it back.

Of course your family did not make that thing out of air. But your family were the ones to reshape it on so something fascinating, something precious.

You want your family’s precious thing back, and those heroes of the stories ignore your pleads.

Your probably think this is about Silmarils.

But this is also how a lot of Sindar elves think about their lost lands.

—————

Imagine you are a Sindar elf that goes back to where your hometown was after the Long Piece started.

Noldor has built a new city in their own style over the ruin of your home

And they welcome you to stay offering citizenship like they are the owner of the land

They imposed new laws, that are different with laws of you people, and they called their laws advanced and right

If you don’t like the laws, you have the “freedom” to leave. They built this place, after all.

You look at that hill over there. You know the name of that hill. Your father brought you there on your begetting days and planted trees.

Your father was abducted by orcs when the Constrainer came from the west. You don’t know if he is alive or not and you don’t know which is the kinder fate.

Now the trees are gone and there are Noldor houses over the hill, and they gave the hill a new name you do not like.

You want to ask if the trees were burnt in the war, or cut down to make places for the house. You kept your questions to yourself.

They came to fight the dark enemy and they brought back your lost homeland. They do not deserve that hostility.

So you live at their city, learn their language, follow their laws, and in your head you call that hill by its old name.

Then one day the words reached you, and you lost it, you went to your Noldor neighbors to ask is that true is that true you came on ships stained by blood of my own people across the sea

They did not look at your eyes, and you know the rumor is true.

But they had no problem looking at your eyes before. They only show guilt after you find out their crimes

You followed their laws.

But what laws did they follow killing your family to steal their ships?

Had circumstances been difficult, would they kill you to steal your land?

But you will not know. You will not afford to find out.

I just realized something; it's only after becoming part of this community that I realize how "simplified" Elvis has become in our culture, if that's the right word for it.

Like, a lot of people just think of him as the guy with an over-exaggerated Southern accent in sparkly jumpsuits who marries (usually drunk) people in Las Vegas. And of course all the stupid "jokes" about his weight, love life, drug addiction and the way he died. Unfortunately, that's mostly what I knew of him before I joined this community.

unfortunately, this is what the media and such turned him into over the years and people still see him as this. they couldn't be more wrong though as i'm sure you found out. he's so so so much more and he deserves to be treated with respect for all he's done and for the human being he is.

in the words of sally hoedel: "elvis culturally shifted the universe." 🤍

uhhhh cw? I talk about adhd struggles

the worst part about getting diagnosed with adhd is needing to come to terms that this is actually a real disability that I have that does affect basically every aspect of my life. it's fun to laugh along to adhd jokes and relatable content and think haha sorry my adhd makes me a lil funny silly guy sometimes. but. at the end of the day. this is a disability. and one I live with. and one that gets debilitating some days. and one that very much fucks up with my life and my plans more than I'd like to admit. acknowledging and admitting that this is a real thing that very much gets in the way of my life and makes things that are easy for others so difficult for me. that's genuinely the hardest part. cause once you do? it's hard to not feel hopeless. or scorned. like you've been dealt an unfair hand. and cause when you admit that, then you also gotta admit that youre spending the rest of your life working doubly hard than everyone else. and there's nothing you can do about it.

... There's really people in this fandom making fanart of red skinned Katara??? The fuck is wrong with ya'll? For fucks sake, would it kill you to actually look shit up before you decide "hey that's cool, let me make art of it🤓". Because guess what? It's racist. For those of you who have no idea what I'm talking about in regards to red skinned characters:

That is what I'm talking about. That shit right there is why I have not watched Peter Pan in years. It's disgusting. It's offensive. It's racist. So do yourself a favor and actually educate yourself about this stuff before you decide to make art of it. And to those of you who actually do know about red skinned characters and think that it is perfectly OK to draw and you don't care? Fuck you.
