Just gonna say it since it’s important right now, my YouTube channel and general community will continue to be (and always will be) a safe space for Queer and marginalized folks
This will never be up for debate
I will not compromise that for anything
Fuck Trump and Fuck Elon
To those trying to character assassinate me online for a bad pull in Diremaul WoW Hardcore. This is Hardcore WoW and a lot is on the line when you step foot into a dungeon. Here is a light breakdown of the last 24 hours.
Our party went the wrong way and overpulled multiple packs with a boss. The shotcaller made the call to run then went back on that call. During the run out another pack was pulled as we had opted to skip it previously which is never a good thing. Communication was completely broken throughout this and it was our second time failing the dungeon. Everyone played poorly and two people ultimately lost their characters for it.
Each person in this group made mistakes including myself. I have never once said I was perfect in my play nor that I was a god gamer. I'm just an ex-Blizzard employee that has played mage for a long time.
To pin that on a single person is absurd at best and if you're calling for death and cancellation over it you're too invested in this content in a very unhealthy way. If you're a creator engaging in this kind of behavior then eventually your content wave will end but the relationships you've sullied will be permanent. Hope it was worth it for you.
To those trying to defend me. Don't worry about it. This too shall pass. Do not attack anyone else on my behalf. I've always hated that kind of behavior. I have no intention of stopping making things or not doing stuff as I already have been.
Those who were banned will stay so. I've never liked that kind of knee-jerk reaction behavior in our community before and I will not be changing that now.
For those that don't understand why they will stay banned. We had a ten hour long hate-raid over it live on Twitch. We had to ban nearly 4,000 accounts across all platforms and our moderators received death threats regularly throughout it all. People called for me to be killed both in-game and out of game. They tried to get me banned from Twitch, the guild, and WoW. They tried to make disparaging comments about our ferret rescue or that we somehow hurt animals. They tried to spread rumors saying I was convicted of felonies and many other things.
The internet hate machine will not defeat me or the community that supports me. See you in WoW Hardcore tomorrow.
TRIGGER WARNING:
There are screenshots going around from a discord having a "r*pers" role and a channel where they say if they would "r*pe or shoot" female xiv streamers.
To xiv streamers (esp female), you can ban users *before* they join your discord (explanation in replies)
the people making this planet uninhabitable, making your life hell, and sending police to kill you when you speak up about it--
They all have names, they have addresses. They have flesh, blood, and organs. They are killing you. They are killing you for money and for fun.
really not a fan of how brazenly young queers are using the r-word nowadays. like how about we don’t?
as someone who’s older brother had down’s syndrome… it’d be really cool if maybe we didn’t start just using that word again. 🩵✨
