#q discourse

[blankerthought]

i was gonna be like chill but it's 1:30 am and i deserve to be a hater so: saw two completely dogshit stupid completely mindless, missing-the-whole-point takes today. first was about how dream did nothing for the dsmp and was just the manager which made me so fucking irritated i considered if they'd actually watched any of the dsmp like, at all, or if they were basing this idea off of pocket lint and sheer stupidity. secondly the take i saw on twitter on how dream going to spain is bad. that was the whole take. that him going to spain is bad because he doesn't know spanish. i shit you the fuck not. have they heard of tourism. do they know what multilingualism is. also saw this heavily supported by qsmp fans which surprised me very little since they really love hypocrisy. am pretty sure the specific take i saw came from someone who also didn't speak spanish. anyway. i live in spain. i pass like an average of seven english speakers on the street or train every day. i promise it's not that fucking hard to communicate. sidenote there was also something about how it's racist and id like to like, broadly gesture at the fact that spain is a) predominantly white (sidenote the xenophobic shit here is fucking wild), and b) the existence of the spanish empire and thus c) spain are colonizers???? did you think the fact that latam is a thing was like a nice little coincidence???

anyway this has been the 'lo is so fucking tired of dumb ass ideas' corner, tune in probably either next week or a time i can only define as "soonish (sigh)"

queer discourse online is so annoying because people will be like “being queer isn’t about being gay or trans or whatever, it’s about being a fucked up freak that nobody likes” and then those same people still expect you to be comfortable being called queer.

while im at it neopronoun opposition is weird to me as a swedish person.. the whole debate is so anglocentric that they assume every language landed on the same solution they did, to reuse a plural pronoun as a gender neutral one and then they think any other solution is absurd or unheard of. what do you mean you just made another pronoun up you cant do that!! etc

coz its like here in the 2014 the swedish academy accepted 3rd person pronoun "hen" (as opposed to hon/han) like officially into our word list after it gained some popularity in the 2010s. like that is a NEOPRONOUN that someone just Came Up With in like the 60s and then people just started using it and now its just a recognized part of our language. sure we could've also reused our plural pronoun "de/dem" as a gender neutral one but we just made up a new one instead. and to like imply that mainstream use of a neopronoun is just UNHEARD OF and that neopronouns is something the mainstream could NEVER GET USED TO EVER!!! is... your perspective is very limited to the english speaking world is all i can say

#now like it is pretty cool that the swedish academy did choose to include it in our word list even despite the conteoversy #because ofc there was conteoversy what do yoy MEAN youre CHANHING OUR LANGUAGE???? #but like even if that disnt happen the word still gained lots of traction before that and started being used #like smth doeant have to be accepted by the mainstream nevessairly to be valid anyway #some ppl are happy even if only their friends and loved ones r the ones using their neopronouns #so like. bleh #q-rambl3 #sorry for the many gender rambles these past weeks #i see so much discourse and it irritates me ans TBIS IS MY ONLY OUTLETTTT

[crimeronan]

basically my standards for gay/trans media these days are that it has to be something i'd still enjoy even if none of the characters were gay or trans. bc otherwise the whole thing is a waste of my fucking time. in 2012 i was so starved for gay representation that i'd consume anything that so much as mentioned queerness just to feel less alone but that's not the world we live in anymore and i don't want to go back to that world and i would be miserable continuing to pretend that gayness is the pinnacle of good writing in 2023 it feels so.... gross. i like being spoiled with a rapturous amount of gay content to choose from and plenty of the gay content i DON'T like is beloved by other queer people and i don't have to love every gay narrative or pretend to. so i'm no longer touching any shit that doesn't do the kind of cool storytelling that compels me. i did my years in the trenches.

#unlikely to ever finish aftg partially for this and partially bc i really only wanted to participate in fandom and #my experiences with the fandom and its discourse put me off it like. yeah actually i dont want to be involved with any of this #eta: please don't tag this post q slur. i'd rather you simply didn't reblog it.

Transmasc Person: "I am a straight guy, since I am a guy who loves women."

Toxic Queer People™: "Ew, straight guys are all predators, since only non-queer people are straight! Anyways, discrimination against straight men isn't real, even when they're a minority."

Transmasc Person: "Okay, I am a lesbian, since even if I'm not a woman, I still have a connection to womanhood."

Toxic Queer People™: "Lesbian is woman-only! If you are in any way a man or not a woman, you are not a lesbian! Transmascs can never be lesbians or have a connection to womanhood/a lack of manhood! Stop invading the lesbian community!"

I dare you to make it make sense.

#discourse #q neg #Originally i was gonna celebrate the general servers downfall but i do feel bad for the workers still there and for the ccs #Cause to me its very clear they do genuinely love this server and the memories behind it #No sympathy for q tho hes been given so many opportunities to make things better for his employees but he doesnt do anything #And he still tries to say its a passion project thats hes proud of when really hes just proud his name is attached to it

idk ultimately i think i really fucking. needed to hear that from him. there's behind the scenes shit going on that we dont know; we do not have the full story-- people on TWITTER especially do not have the whole story.

there's a lot of context and shit going on that just isn't being told. of course, support the admins.

they should have had more info and knowledge and shouldnt have been left in the dark but i get why that info was being held close to the chest considering how fucking batshit crazy everything has been lately. is it fair ? no. was it fucked up? yes. but i get it.

i understand why ppl don’t believe quackity rlly didnt know abt the working conditions with the admins, it’s his server, he should be overseeing everything, etc etc. but i think many ppl aren’t taking into consideration how massive of a project the qsmp is and how big the team is. on top of the roleplaying admins (eggs, capys, bunnies) there’s likely lots of offscreen admins, builders, mod devs, writers, artists working on the project as well. it makes total sense to me for q to have hired and trusted ppl to handle parts of quackity studios that he a. didn’t have time for b. didn’t have the experience to make the best decisions for or c. that he just didn’t want to do. at the end of the day q is a content creator and yes that means he also is a businessman and yes he owns quackity studios but he’s also shown himself to be INCREDIBLY busy and things like managing finances, vetting, hiring, and paying out employees takes a lot of time and can go super wrong if he didn’t have the knowledge or experience regarding how to do such things. he’s also shown himself to be pretty hands off with a lot of the server administration stuff, afaik he still isn’t op’d on his own server which makes sense bc he does have a team running things behind the scenes. i worked administration in a small office a while back and we had plenty of miscommunication issues bc my boss didn’t handle every part of his business. he didn’t even know how much i was being paid bc he had hired someone else to do the onboarding, offboarding, and payment for employees. even tho our team consisted of like 13 ppl at any given time, there were still miscommunications. and we were all seeing each other in person! we weren’t even dealing with differing time zones or different languages.

at the end of the day, q is young and inexperienced. he trusted the wrong ppl to handle parts of his business. all we can hope for is that things change for the better, the whole quackity studios team gets paid fair wages, have stress loads taken off of them, and feel safe and comfortable continuing with the project. i rlly hope pommes admin comes back bc the qsmp wouldn’t be the same without her even if another admin took the place of pommes character. idk if lea would want to come back but i feel like the door should be open for her too and she still deserves compensation for the work she did in her time working on the team. i have high hopes that things will get taken care of and some restructuring happens within the company

#qsmp #lex.txt #idk i just feel like ppl rlly jumped down his throat when the news first broke #and a lot of ppl have called him stupid or incompetent or what have u for not knowing what was happening but also have likely never worked #on an administration team or dealt with situations that would make him not knowing make complete sense #hell if i hadn’t had experience i probably would’ve also thought the same thing #but obv the qsmp is a major passion project and has had so much time money and care put into it #i don’t see q actively making the decision to jeopardize something he has dreamed abt for ages over something like this #or rlly anything at all #do i tag this as discourse????? idk wth #qsmp discourse #quackity

Motherfucker I did not see someone in Slime's chat say that BBH hates roleplay wtf

If anyone says BBH isn't a roleplayer then they straight up do not know him in the slightest, I am sorry.

Like in fact i'd argue he is up there as the biggest fucking roleplayers in this server like this man has spent months setting up a story full of mysteries and build up.

He literally spent an entire stream roleplaying his character's breakdown

#qsmp #bbh #badboyhalo #q!bbh #q!badboyhalo #like just because this dude is a tryhard doesnt mean he also isn't a huge roleplay dude #this man is HUGE on roleplay #him not participating in conversation and killing needlessly cna also be part of RP guys !!! #sorry i just needed to rant especially since Tubbo said that there weren't any RP-ers in his team which while I think is minsinformation #I know there are some Red Team fans who think BBH is a tryhard who doesn't care for lore #when in fact i'd argue he cares about it more than a LOT of people on this server #discourse

love when ppl show up to a 'deeply messed up ship between deeply messed up people who do messed up things' fandom and are like 'um did you know this is messed up actually?'

Like really. You don't say. So the bit where Mr. Evilkiller McBadguy and Blorbo wrote their wedding vows together in blood on the wall in the same place Mr. Evilkiller McBadguy once murdered Blorbo's former lover wasn't a depiction of a healthy relationship???! Wow. good thing you pointed that out.

i’m seeing so many posts about this and it’s like ??? do you guys even know what an union does ? how it operates ?

why should it be for the community, the ccs, current and ex admins, as well as an actual union (btw this is a MAJOR union in France not a group of amateurs) to have do everything in their power to even try to get a word with anyone at Qstudios ?

Why should it be the people who were affected negatively in this situation, and the organisations helping them to make sure that things get better ? To try to right the wrongs and maybe even save the project ?

Im sorry but either Q himself or someone from his team should keep track on what statements are being released by who etc at almost all times if they’re taking this seriously. The union posted on Twitter, repeatedly, in multiple languages, in posts that gained a lot of traction, with their contact info attached what more do you want ?

I’m begging you all to stop with this mix of capitalism brainrot and babying everything related to Q already

#qsmp #discourse #main tagging this bc u guys are too confortable shifting the blame #should the union grab Q by his hands to make him open his damn dms too like #oh this is neg ? oh this is salty ? obviously it is you should hear urselves #i’m mad mad tonight

i actually love that canonically q!wilbur had no choice BUT to leave because whether he remembers it or not, he's contractually obligated to the federation. he can't disobey them, especially when by all intents and purposes lovejoy is keeping the feds money flowing.

idk i just think that q!wilbur gets characterized as an absent parent by choice, or like he just "left" but this means that canonically he had to leave. he had to go, he was forced to, he had no choice. he didn't abandon his child, he was doing what he could to provide for her.

his argument with phil? totally valid, on both sides. phil has every reason to snap at will, and will has every reason to be overwhelmed and angry that his daughter is missing. they both had a deeply emotional moment, processed it, and then apologised.

tl;dr - just because we witnessed what tallulah and q!phil went through, it doesn't make q!wilbur a villain or make him this absentee parent who doesn't give a fuck! layers, people, layers!

#qsmp #q!philza #q!wilbur #qsmp tallulah #idk it's a complex emotional situation but it doesn't have any villains #qsmp discourse #i guess??? tagging just in case
