really weird thing ive noticed lately re: hermits getting critiqued for stuff theyve said or done is that as soon as someone holds a shit opinion (even if it's just them being stupid, or a centrist, or saying a bad word without knowing what it means, or whatever) people immediately seem to flock to the 'this guy should die' 'kys' 'why are we giving this person a platform' rhetoric and like. that's not how meaningful change is made?

like, yeah, if one of my beloved CCs posted a tweet or video tomorrow about how much they hate gay people, or believe in conservative ideals, or they just said a bunch of slurs or whatever (these are hyperbolic examples obviously) then yeah, fuck them, they should go rot. but like, having some dumb takes, or saying bad things in the past, doesn't = evil terrible person...

idk, i feel like we can critique content creators without getting so insane about it. like, shit, there are things some of my favourites do that i don't like, but theyre not even really worth bringing up tbh. unless its something actually important, i feel like it just creates more drama out of nothing and all these assholes come crawling out of the woodwork to tell everyone how much they hate that creator. or find their content boring anyway so clearly they have no real merit to anyone.

more of an explanation of what i mean in the tags but yeah.

context, interviewer question: is there anything you want to steal from each other?

Funny how I make this tweet defending the dsmp’s honour and people in my qrts are somehow managing to make it about their petty hatred of Dream despite him not being mentioned ONCE in my post. I just don’t get it at all, my post was defending the dsmp’s success bc some weirdos were having the audacity to call it a failure/flop like why are you telling me about how you think Dream contributed nothing and it was all the hardwork of other ccs and he was a bad owner like I don’t gaf make your own post what does that have to do with anything I said 😭

thought id see some deep and thought-provoking discussions about the philosophical and moral questions posed in atsv but all im seeing is a whole bunch of "the whole spider society is evil and fucked up for trying to save the entire fabric of the multiverse even if they have to bear personal grief for it and miles is the only Good One" and man . expected too much from the 'spends 90% time and energy thirsting for scary big vampire guy' fandom huh

I love it when im looking at my own post on my own Tumblr and it shows me the 'more like this' collection of posts and it shows posts from blogs I've blocked like?? Yes girl that’s exactly what I wonna see :D man this site is insufferable lol

banging my head on the table

why do people have this urge to come onto other peoples' posts and make it about themselves.

the number of times ive talked about My Own Lore publicly and someones come onto My post to talk about their stuff while completely ignoring everything i said.

like do you not realize how shitty that feels. wouldnt you not want it to happen to you.

then why the FUCK do you do it to others.

YO?!?????

[alltheglowingeyess]

the way ppl approach discourse on twitter is crazy 😭 like i'm halfway through arguing in circles w someone who disagreed with a lote take i posted and i just told them "i don't care to argue anymore" JGDJD

Not to beat a dead horse but why the fuck are reblogs dying? Like, what is the actual, legitimate reason why no one wants to reblog anything anymore? I just saw a post with 1k notes and 20 of them were reblogs.

20 reblogs. Out of 1,000 notes.

Is there some kind of unspoken rule going around that I don't know about? Are people just expecting authors, artists, and creatives of all mediums to just hammer away with no input from the audience unless it's them demanding us for more content? Content that we pour our time and effort into only for it to be chewed up in two seconds and then tossed aside because it's viewed as nothing more than just "content"?

Y'all have gotten real fucking bold treating creatives on social media like we're part of the corporate entities that we make fan works of. We ask for engagement and get belittling and outright abusive anons. We post anything fandom related and it's barely seen and never circulates because no one wants to reblog anything anymore.

It's gotten to a point where many of us just say, "what's the point?" and DON'T divulge our thoughts or ideas. It's become a second job instead of a pleasant past time where we could talk and get to know other people in the same fandoms.

It's demoralizing and honestly really fucking annoying. You can't sugar coat it: it pisses us off and makes us feel like our stuff is not worth sharing when it's only being shared by us.

Reblog the work that you followed someone for. Support their work. You won't get any more if you don't.

it's honestly getting to the point that I absolutely don't want to go on my dc twt account anymore why are people on there like... that..... the less time I go on there the less I can stand going on there tbh :/

every time i get a message/ask/comment from someone saying they would Not be able to handle if i write angst it only just fuels my evil impulse to write my main character death fic and then disappear from the internet until s5 drops. just think that would be Funny🤸

hey saw u got asks about the kamdens dad situation and i kinda wanted to share more just since the entire situation is really crazy. basically mr na has been hosting twitter spaces where he’s been sharing incredibly personal family details about things like family suicides and keeps giving these really backhanded compliments to kamden. he said “Tbh, I’m his biggest critic. I was worried about his singing despite him working so hard on his dancing. He worked really hard on his rapping and now, he’s not bad.” he also made some really insensitive comments about how the bit with the native american headdress wasn’t cultural appropriation even tho kamden was the only one who wasn’t laughing at it during the show. kamden actually called him in the middle of his last space to ask him to end it. i felt like i should share just cuz while some ppl r being rude i didnt want ppl calling mr na’s actions wrong to be misinterpreted as talking about a different situation.

I'll start by saying I guess this is a continuation from the earlier stuff? Like, he's just going on and on? But, again, this is a grown man. Of course, it can be seen as off putting, but he's no different than any parent on facebook oversharing on what their kids are up to (maybe not but I don't know how twt really works so I'm not sure what the spaces were like). There's really nothing wrong with any of this, except for the suicides, that's a bit questionable. He's not keeping up with the internet the way most bp watchers are. He's just a middle-aged man talking to the void. He's probably just really into the fact that he can talk to people who know who kamden is (parents aren't exactly known to be the most private about their kids, les be real here). Or the fact that he can talk to people who support his son the same way he does.

The criticisms aren't that much of a red flag either, in my opinion (could be because I grew up in the same boat) but from my understanding, most parents are their kids' #1 critic, and maybe it's just the quote you chose, but that doesn't seem so backhanded. It seems pretty objective to me? He's not coming off as insulting or overly praising. Just stating what it is.

The cultural stuff isn't really my place to comment on because I missed that bit entirely. I don't know what was said.

And I think the person who called had to have been kamden's twin. Trainees can't have their phones. Or at least can't make it known that they have them. Everyone who's ever been on the show makes a big deal of having no personal technology.
