So a couple of Crewniverse members say they’re against Tumblr mob mentality and immediately you’ve got young people on Tumblr dragging them for it.
Mob mentality is not calling out your abuser or abusive behavior, and warning people. It’s not telling someone you think their post or art is problematic. It’s not holding someone accountable for their actions they have yet to address or rectify. It’s not ignoring a conversation that needs to be had.
Mob mentality is when you flood a person’s inbox with hate mail, stalk them across accounts and social media, and screen cap their blunders so you and thousands of others can dog pile on them for their mistake. It’s when a mob fuels each other with accolades and support for publicly humiliating someone and harassing them. I’ve gone to blogs that have been dragged on popular posts from months and months ago, for people who have already apologized or explained themselves, and they are STILL. GETTING. HATEMAIL.
I have seen people tell other people to kill themselves for saying something problematic years and years ago. And “people change, I am sorry, I am still growing, I fucked up” is RARELY ENOUGH for people. Entire hate blogs and twitters are made aimed at that person. Every social media account suddenly becomes a gold mine of transgressions that champions for the cause can dig up and use as ammo against that person. They are suddenly under a spotlight that never turns off.
I don’t care who you are, that’s terrifying. That breaks a person down. And I have yet to see a post or piece of fan art that warrants that kind of harassment, degradation, and humiliation.
And it happens in every fandom on this site. I’ve seen it happening in every single fandom I’m active in or have been active in. Shipping wars, fan art feuds, screaming matches about headcanons, etc. I’ve seen people delete their blogs due to violent and mean hate mail because a tumblr MOB decided their ship was problematic. That’s insane.
And that’s what the Crewniverse is denouncing. THAT is mob mentality. And it’s not okay.
And frankly I’m ashamed to be apart of a fandom where the artists themselves have to even say this shit.
I’m not a part of the SU fandom, but I’ve seen more than enough mob mentality over the years in countless fandoms.
I’m with the Crewniverse - stop it.
I have seen this since 1998. You are bullying people FOR FUN. This is cruel, unkind, and does nothing but hurt everyone involved, AND THAT INCLUDES YOURSELVES.
You may not see this now, but I speak from years of experience with internet social media. You are helping NO ONE and only causing completely unnecessary pain, for others AND for yourselves. Isn’t it tiring to hate? Aren’t you tired?
You are making mistakes now, and perhaps you’re afraid to admit that. You worry that others will not forgive you, because you have made it a point to not forgive anyone yourselves.
That’s not true. If you’re sincere, someone will listen. Someone will help.
You all hold so much more strength and power than you can begin to comprehend. You are capable of truly amazing, wondrous things! It all begins with you!
Take the first step to ending the cycle. You can do it. You are not alone.
It surprises nobody who even remotely paid attention during the Zamii aftermath last year.
This is exactly why I pulled almost entirely out of ALL fandom except for casual reblogs on this stupid fucking site.
Why do anti-sjws always talk like metal gear bosses
“I will free the world from the tyrannical grip of the feminists!”
“Snake! I’ll show you what real justice is!”
What…? Anti SJW’s and Anti-feminists are not synonymous. The difference between them is that SJW’s are pushy, and hate on people who are not POC or trans or anything but straight… Feminists claim to represent equality.. There are more bad feminists than good ones from what I’ve seen, but I haven’t seen ONE reasonable SJW.
Now, you just sound like an idiot. Do I sound like some character from a video game- …. Don’t answer that, the account I’m putting this opinion on is irrelevant. I’m just saying, you are sounding like a generalizing asshole. I know you’re trying to be “funny” and all, but some people will take that seriously. It’s tumblr.
There are crazy people everywhere. People will be offended, maybe even hate you for it. Are some anti-SJWs like that? YES. Absolutely. But hey, one word can make a strong impact, and I’m just here to say, watch what you say when surrounded by the people who you are generalizing. Unless you WANT to start something, then knock yourself out. I’m so sorry for this long ass thing, I was just getting it out.
Frisk never met asriel beyond flowey or hypergod of death. They had no way of knowing what he was like while alive. Chara, however did. Chara is the one who saved asriel and used frisk as the means to do it. Another reason why chara isn’t evil, in genocide rout, it’s not charas doing, it’s the player who is already established to be a character. in genocide rout, the only one to blame is the player, not chara
