Yesterday was one of the most enjoyable streams I've ever done and it was a joy to share a special night in politics with a community that truly cares.
To be honest, I'm so glad it's becoming more normalized in streaming spaces to talk more openly about stuff like this. The rules of "no politics" in streaming spaces have to end. we have such an insanely privileged job when there is so much horrible shit happening in the world and it's on us to be able to educate, empower, and show that progressive views are not only normalized, but popular and can cause seismic shifts in better policies and lives for people all over whether you're in the US or not.
Last night was eye opening for me. I've been a card-carrying DSA member in my local chapter since I moved to North Carolina and I encourage people in the US to look into their own. I plan on trying to do more political and educational streams after last night and also do more locally, which if YOU are able to in your own community as well you absolutely should.
The hardest part is taking the leap. Once you find like-minded people in your community you learn the power of the difference that you can make. Every little change and policy can snowball into a world of change.
Yesterday was incredible and I have never looked at the future of US politics in my adult life more positively. But that means we ALL have to make sure we keep the momentum high. I know we can and I plan to leverage my own community and the communities I'm a part of to do what we can to keep making positive change. Love you guys
do the people comparing qsmp and msmp realize that the reason we are laughing is because qsmp is built on the whole "we are diverse" while msmp is a competitive server that is objectively more diverse. it's just funny lol
i will put the clip for everyone to see
wolfeei have subbed out anomaly for what he did.
please remeber to not send any hate to the blockwars staff! also dont go to live chats and ask about it, especially to wolfeei :)
@rikushaker@shlorger A few minutes ago, I saw his explanation/apology that he posted and thankfully it was addressed. I am hopeful that this expierience will be used to avoid situations like this in the future.
@SionLeBooty I'm working a customer facing job rn (Manager for a clothing bank under a university nonprofit) and the tone wasn't what I had issue with. It was the apology and blame shifting.
@WoIfeei An apology is a good start, but that whole team needs to be kicked not just Anomoly. Dima, Linechu, and the other members of Purple who looked at that behavior and thought it was okay needs to face consequences for their actions.
Hello fans of Ashswag and/or ppl who want to support a good cause. I wanna make this post bcs Ashswag will doing a charity stream today with Carbie (and others potentially) to raise money for the World’s Central Kitchen in order to provide meals for displaced families in Gaza +
@SionLeBooty The language we use is important. It has implications, it effects people, shapes opinions and actions. The way he worded what he said shifts the responsibility of the kick to the creators that were made uncomfortable, and makes it out like what the bigot did wasn't a big deal.
@kiwikattuwu I agree. My issue is with the apology to problematic creator and the offloading of responsibility to the creators that were made uncomfortable by that creator. That shouldn't of happened.
To Clarify: I'm not saying wolfeei needs to go in guns blazing and cursing, I'm simply saying that apologizing to the bigot for kicking them out and offloading responsibility for the kick to the creators that are uncomfortable with the racism is wrong
