Mcyt Fandom - Tumblr Posts
There is no should. No one is obligated to be socially or politically active. That is a seventeen year-old Minecraft YouTuber who you set absurd, unrealistic expectations for then subsequently bullied relentlessly until he couldn't handle the pressure anymore.
I've said it on Twitter many times before today, again tonight, and I will say it here as well: harassment isn't activism.
There's a line between gently correcting people who have proven ignorance and demanding that others educate themselves on issues, and mcyttwt somehow crossed both of those into straight up harassing a minor.
"Tommy neg" trended for the second day in a row tonight. This happened while he spoke out about taking a break for the sake of his mental health.
You bullied a kid into therapy and off that platform, and I hope he stays away from there for good.
He is not "avoiding taking accountability" in the slightest. Grow up.

Stop And Read Please
This is a serious post.
For a long time I have been meaning to talk about the recent surge I have seen in MCYT youtuber controversies. Shit that really doesn't bother a normal person, but neo-liberals and conservatives get high off of anger from.
As a kid - a literal high schooler - the amount of hatred and thirst to just bust someone for being homophobic, a cheater, a anti-semite-
It is just so unbearable to try and fit all of these quotas, everything someone could get offended from, into one person. And this shit is being pedastaled onto 20-something year old and literal minor-aged youtubers?
To the point that I find it both impossible and inhumane and outright abusive to demand a person with millions of people watching their every digital move to suddenly just KNOW everything that could ever be "offensive".
Ranboo had to have a serious stream where he apologized for his "lesbophobic" tweets, which is funny considering the idk 19 closest lesbian friends all have read to me and repeated in a jokingly manner. Who all literally responded to this to me by saying they didn't even get offended, but rather thought it was a joke? And I am seeing this streamer. A fucking minor. Say he didn't even know it was offensive.
Meaning he was literally joking, he wasn't trying to offend anyone. His tweets were meant to make people laugh.
So seeing this streamer have to go through this shit made me realize that it isn't just about these youtube channels that milk views off of mcyt clout. It's actual people abusing their "moral" onto people that genuinely want good and slapping them with "responsibility" - a new word they use instead of outright saying "Hey, just like an abusive parent I am going to watch your every move and if I see you do something slightly "offensive" or "wrong" to me, just me, I will punish you by making you say 200 times that it was wrong and then I'm going to make 12 videos on it."
And people are going around arguing that no, they SHOULD abuse literal young adults and fucking minors because YES these people should know about every fucking offensive thing on the planet. And "dismissing these actions".
Dismissing what I ask? Dismissing your abusive nature to try to make a human your pure fucking molding of a being? Is that it? Because that is EXACTLY what I am seeing nowadays.
Nobody is pure, and EVERYONE - you hear me? Everyone - makes mistakes. It doesn't fucking matter if your a minor or an old person or if you are lgbtq+ or colored, it doesn't matter.
What actually matters is the message you tried to send. Whether you are trying to be a good person or not. If you are learning about how to be a person and accepting it or not.
And learning doesn't mean speedrunning through constant apologies for "controversies" that don't even matter to the majority of human beings. It means learning slowly about both yourself, how you want to treat others, how you want other people to treat others, and how you try to fix your past mistakes.
So pressuring the fuck out of youtubers who have to constantly be careful about what they say, what they do etc to now gain more weight onto their shoulders by apologizing for every possible scenario that they were being offensive to a few degenerates? Sounds like what my abusive mom does to my brother and I.
I'm tired out of my mind so I will reblog this later on and add more. Goodnight.
you don’t see selena gomez talking about the shittiness of north korea and it’s autocratic government. you don’t see bts speaking on the issues palestinians are facing right now. you don’t see harry styles talking about income inequality in the united states.
so why are these fucking minecraft youtubers expected to know absolutely everything about every possible problem going on in the world right now as well as being expected to speak on it whenever people bring it up.
half of these people are fucking teenagers who wanted to make content on the internet because it interested them. they aren’t activists. they didn’t sign up to be activists. stop treating them like one.
they are content creators existing to provide content. entertainment. if they want to use their platform that they built to speak on issues that they’re passionate about? great! amazing! but this entire belief that if they don’t speak on something or aren’t educated on a problem means they’re racist or homophobic or transphobic or literally anything else is such a dangerous mindset to have.
content creators are not activists. they don’t owe you anything. it’s great if they feel they are responsible and educated enough to speak on these issues and help people, but expecting them to do anything other than what they’re signed up for, which is creating content for entertainment is a fools dream that shouldn’t be indulged.
you don’t see older fandoms asking their ccs to say “can you please say gay rights?” or asking for their opinion on racial issues.
BECAUSE IT’S NOT THEIR FUCKING JOB
of course fucking gay rights. of course racial issues are valid and should be talked about. BUT THEY’RE PLAYING A VIDEO GAME ABOUT FUCKING BLOCKS.
TALK TO AN ACTIVIST IF YOU WANT AN INFORMED OPINION. THAT’S THEIR JOB. NOT A MINECRAFT YOUTUBER. NOT ANY YOUTUBER UNLESS THEY HAVE ALREADY EXPLICITLY SAID THEY BELIEVE THEMSELVES MATURE ENOUGH TO TALK ABOUT IT.
i am sick and fucking tired of everyone using twitter as a way to educate people. twitter threads are not reliable sources of information. you know what are?
ted talks
websites formatted specifically by activists
organization pages without fucking character limits
stop expecting content creators to know everything. they don’t. they never will. they’ll mess up. they’ll make mistakes. that doesn’t make them fucking racist.
mcyttwt is a fucking joke and i hope that app burns
c!Purpled!
(he left the dsmp fandom before it became mainstream haha)
does anyone have any good life smp ship fanfic recs?
i’ve never read any before but am highly interested. my favorite ships are solidango, scarian, and treebark, but im not picky as long as it has mlm. the only ship i’m not interested in is grimpulse
(preferably on ao3)
A little redraw scene from SAD-ist animatic. Do I late with this? Yes. Am I care about it? No.
This is the first time I paint in this style. I think it came out pretty cute.
Oh and another version of the art, because I really like how the floor turned out here
(sorry, I'm not very good at english, so yeah)
I like to think that all the other endermen are protective over Ranboo as he's smaller then them and can't teleport therefore they believe he can't protect himself properly so they all look out for him and help him when he needs it and when they can, like if he forgot how to get back to Tubbo whilst they were mining together and decided to split then an Enderman would come up to him and guide him back to Tubbo (id like to imagine that they would hold his hand, I just find that adorable). They'd all treat Ranboo as a vulnerable child or something like that.
I just thought of this but puffy, minx, and niki are totally the powerpuff girls.
Trigger warning for panic attacks**
Just a Heads up.
Ranboo isn't having an insanity arc he's was having a panic attack. And a damn realistic one as well.
He was conveying the way every little thing feels wrong when you're panicked. How you argue with yourself, how you can't listen to reason ESPECUALLY WHEN YOURE ALONE cause the only person you have to reason with is yourself, but you're not yourself while panicking.
Don't call his panic attack him being insane please, it kinda demonises it. Panic attacks and anxiety attacks do happen and they can and do look like that. So please don't say he's going insane while demonstrating an anxiety or panic attack.
Thank you!
Techno doodle to work on my semi-realism
My best friend just texted me:
“While you studied the blade, I also studied the blade. We’ve been watching Technoblade livestreams together for over three hours”
I’ve got to get her on Tumblr

🚨Another reminder 🚨
RESPECT YOUTUBERS PRIVACY
If they aren’t comfortable with showing their face you respect it.
If they aren’t comfortable with shipping you respect it.
If they aren’t comfortable with sharing any private information about them you respect it.
If they say no, it means no.
I recently discovered that someone doxxed Dream in a YouTube video by leaking his name and face.
Out of respect for Dream don’t go looking for that YouTube video I’m sure it’s been taken down by now.
Im only here to inform you guys on what’s been going on.
Dream is still human, he still has feelings let’s keep that in mind please.
This post does apply to everyone. It just isn’t targeted at anyone specifically
(Thanks to autumnalsaffron for the advice:))
I’ve seen some lovely people in this community that seem like genuine nice people :)
there was a story of a failed friendship
