@TADCTurkiyede@glitch_prod Omg chill if you can't get it in theaters you can watch it on YouTube, some theaters just don't want too or can't bc of censorship. I'm not watching it in theaters and I'm waiting. I'll be blocking tags, you'll get to see it just not in theaters.
I feel like I should say if you think you're "on my side" by saying genuine racist hateful things to black people in the fandom, then it is my personal belief that you should shoot yourself in the head with a gun.
Let’s not forget this the fact that Michael is TRYING to be better btw. He is ASKING for criticism because he wants to learn and do better as a person in general. Isn’t that worth respecting?
I want to apologize to anyone the jokes in my stream harmed. Racism is never okay and even joking about a misunderstanding that sounded racist is also not okay. I should have known better back then and I want to continue to grow and be a better person. Fuck racism, fuck racists.
I've just been made aware of this.
This is absolutely an insensitive joke. Earlier in the stream, we heard Ashley read out a username that contained the word “Nega” (short for negative) and all of us, including chat, freaked out because we misheard what was said. Once the misunderstanding was cleared, we poked fun at the absurdity of it. However, the "joke" relies on the fact that it's "teetering on racist" - which ultimately is no different than making a legitimate racist joke.
I apologize for any harm this has caused, and for the fact that we ever thought it humorous to joke about in the first place. Racism is NEVER okay and we should always strive to be kind and lift each other up.
@Watisdonewith I'm shocked too but it's from 7 years ago (which doesn't make it good at all). I'm just saying they probably regret doing shit like this. Every post I've seen about it is just jumping to cancelling and insulting them. Instead we should be like "hey maybe apologize for this."
Maybe it's my age showing, but for most of my life a traditional movie would take four months to go from theaters to DVD. If we couldn't afford to go to the theater, we had to either download a camrip or dodge spoilers for a third of a year. This really isn't that unfair
The Amazing Digital Circus fandom is one of the most well served fandoms that I have ever seen. Free global youtube releases for every episode is something most fandoms could only ever dream of.
I really hope you start to show some more appreciation for the creatives who put their blood, sweat, and tears into making your show. Frankly, I'm embarrassed at the entitlement I've witnessed. I understand it is likely that many of you are young and have never had to experience the inconvenience of partial releases. I once had to wait a full year to watch a movie for my favourite franchise and had to dodge spoilers the entire time. Could the animation studio have just released it on YouTube for free? Yes. But that would have led to an intense loss in revenue. The fact that indie animation studios like Glitch have been able to make that happen for you is a miracle. It's something you should celebrate. Not use against them the second they want to, just once for the finale of their show, do an early release in theaters, which is a historic achievement for indie studios, by the way.
They had every right to want to monetize and reward themselves. And yet, they STILL pushed and pushed to get you the free release as early as possible, in spite of the protestations of the cinema corporations that have every right to want it to be exclusive for longer.
That is a studio that truly loves its global fandom. I wish more of you realized that.
@DrBeardie I saw someone say that glitch was doing a humiliation ritual for asking fans to contact local theaters 😐 I fear they'll find any excuse to complain about this.
@LilLilyRizz Plus people are PAYING to go see it when the people that don't get to see it in theaters are going to be seeing it for FREE 2 weeks later. Hell in America, a movie ticket runs you like $40-$50 depending on where you go. People are mostly going just to help glitch.
@LilLilyRizz It's really not that hard to contact multiple theaters to ask for the movie. Ik someone driving 5 hours to go see it, and it's also not impossible to block certain tags or phrases on any social media. I get it's unfair but it's also not impossible to at least try.
