Netflix keeps on trying to get me to watch “Old Enough!”, a reality show of extremely young children (we’re talking 2-4 year olds here) being sent alone on errands for the first time (likely because I’ve watched other Japanese content and it doesn’t recognize the genre differences in foreign material). Not my kind of programming.
Anyway, sitting here contemplating the whole thing- if this were to occur here in the USA, several things would happen simultaneously:
If the child was even allowed to use mass transit or to walk into the stores (many stores and malls here ban all children under the age of 18 without a parent), the cashier would not sell to them, and likely delay them and call the police, who would turn them over to child protective services and the child would be put into foster care for parental neglect. That is, if the child gets to the store at all and wasn’t kidnapped by a violent pedophile along the way.
This server has become extremely toxic and hostile. People have been flagged/warned constantly for discussing completely inane, normal topics. It is not a safe or welcoming space. You literally cannot mention anything on the following very extensive blacklist anywhere on this server, or you will be threatened by the moderators.
- Food (yes, food in general. Of any kind. In any context.)
- Christmas (despite the BHC holiday special - they even made a specific channel to containerize and censor holidays of any kind)
- Boku no Hero Academia/My Hero Academia
- Crabs. It does not specify what variety.
- Dangan Ronpa
- Deviantart (yes, the art site. Do not mention it at all apparently. Good luck trying to share art from there.)
- Crossdressing (this is amazingly homophobic)
- IRL children under 8 years old (specifically. If they’re 9 then do what you want I guess)
- Megalosomnia (I am sorry, mmi.)
- Poetax (literally the person. Also very sorry. You’re a very nice person.)
- Skype
- Femboy (also amazingly homophobic)
- “Weeb voices” (I highly doubt they even know what weeb actually means and this is, in and of itself, insensitive bullying)
- Any song by Melanie Martinez…
- Zwagyzonk (again, you’re lovely, I’m sorry)
@owl-bonesand@bonelyheartsclub honestly I’m surprised that some of your staff are in here supporting this amazingly toxic and exclusive environment, and that you’ve all let this viper pit essentially be the ‘official’ BHC server. Several of my friends and staff do not feel welcome in this server at all and felt bullied when there. The blacklist is unrealistic and ridiculous. It has been described as “walking through a mine field”, and I have to agree. We don’t deserve to be treated and censored in this way.
UPDATE: Apparently if you agree with this post in any fashion, you will be banned from the server. Fair warning. It is happening right now. The mods are on a scorched earth campaign to ban those who say anything, as they are acting like tyrants running a fascist regime and execute all BHC citizens who dare to speak their minds.
Some of the replies to this post had perfectly described my own thoughts about this whole situation. There is a thin line between taking people’s squicks and triggers into consideration and being overwhemingly controlling.
I agree that having trigger lists is real helpful in DMs and in smaller group chats/server but not in a big ass server like this one. I have some real specific triggers, one of which is an actual name, and I can’t imagine people skirting around me and not using it or having to censor their own name hhh.
I have many other thoughts about this mess but my main point of this post is - Zwaggy, you don’t deserve this sweetie ;-; You’ve supported this game a lot, made a lot of content and praised it… being singled out like this and then blacklisted, it’s an awful thing to experience. Have millions of hugs my dude, bless your heart and soul.
thank you.. *hug tomato* you’re too kind. i understand some people need to tag to avoid trigger… i’m just gonna distance myself from them and wish them best (not sure they want it hah…)
Zwaggy is literally the sweetest and kindest person ever. I don’t understand why someone would do this…I’m so sorry this happened to you.
Shame on you people, seriously. Y'all are probably laying in bed, eating cheetos, doing shit all day and still shamelessly hating on a man, whose physique is like a thousand times better than yours. Jensen got fucking ripped for this role and his body looks phenomenal. And all you’re talking about is his “flat” ass? Surprise, surprise, that’s what a grown men’s body looks like. Does your dad have a bubble Beyoncé butt? Yea probably not. I mean Jesus fucking Christ, just grow tf up.
So Jennifer Lawrence wasn’t ‘hot’ enough? Seriously?
The amount of damage these images constantly thrown at us do is immeasurable. Being told that Jennifer Lawrence needs improvement roughly translates to 'You will never be hot enough to satisfy your lover’
And not for nothing, but most of her appeal is that she has a more athletic build.
