Hey, you just got a liiiiil' thing wrong, @drednnot
Y'see, what you put as a "proof I'm enabling things" or "contradicting myself"... actually comes from an ask, and it's the anon asker saying that. Oops !
Thankfully I'm more enclined to believe that this is a framing error and not you tweaking things to make me say things I haven't. I'm no conspiracist ;)
Put the cited excerpt in yellow (ain't that ability to underline just useful ? I sure think so and I'm glad others do - whether they got the idea on their own or not) : what you screened comes from an ask... of what I believe is an SMG4 fan, so, one of yours ?
But if you find it "contradicting" and "enabling", sure, go ahead : your own colleague's words ! Can't guarantee they'll be happy to see what you made of their (kindly formulated) ask, though... that's kinda undermining what they're doing in staying nice, civil and polite :/
Here's the link to the full ask, by the way ! Knock yourself out, you'll see that I also present other solutions that could be without a change of Mr Puzzles in various other asks, buuuuut I fully agree that they're long (both in answer and the ask itself at times) and I guess people just read diagonally !
...Shame it gives birth to mistakes and misconceptions like that one above on Twitter, though. Oh well.
Also, not the first time I have talked about solutions involving just an official statement recognition and citing of Mod's IP and rights by SMG4 which would mean no need to change Mr Puzzles at all - basically, trying to bring another solution on the table (y'know, something that's not "just give up/ignore it/sit down and take it" because this 'advice' is actually dangerous and has got people killed IRL).
I've also many times reminded people to not paint any targets on Glitch's back, and said there are things I'd like to talk out with Mod later. I've immediately made an anti-hate post on my side the second I saw people in need of one (and I wasn't at work). I've repeated MANY times that I'm my own mouthpiece, not Mod's, and whenever someone corrected me on a fact and I saw they were right, I made the correction immediately.
But since some people don't seem to (wanna) read... compilation !
And again, we're trying to look for solutions.
None. Or just "don't do it".
Zero "we'll spread the news to the fandom to stop hating you, that RGB has nothing to do with Mr Puzzles, we'll make posts and statements as fans on every big SMG4 server available", nothing.
A good majority only reacted and came out of the bushes to 'advise' Mod (basically telling them to give up in ornated, flowery language or outright being hostile) only when J4A was announced to take the case. Some really kind people have been voicing their thoughts about not condoning the hate, even if they didn't agreed, way before that, but a good chunk of SMG4 fans ?
They knew this was going down since end of March, mid-April, but only got their pants in a twist once Mod showed they were fully standing up for themself and got their case taken by an actual legal representative, and suddenly it's all "I don't condone the hate but-".
Oh, and let's take another fun thing : I've seen some cry about the hate they're receiving - that's absolutely fair, and I intervene EXACTLY because there are some TPoH-haters out there, sadly, hating on SMG4 people that were just minding their own business.
But then blaming Mod for not responding and not "protecting" from that ?
You mean, the same way some of you have said to us "SMG4 doesn't owe you any answers" and "they don't control their fandom" and "what are you going to do" ?
Do you know the number of times I could have played hypocrite and gone "just ignore it" like you did to Mod and us ?
Suddenly doesn't sound so harmless, does it now ?
But I didn't. Because nobody deserves hate outside the haters. Not even you. Everything I did, on top of that, I did under my real handle - knowing full well I'm at risk of getting attacked myself.
But here's the thing, buddy : I've lived through hell before, due to things external to that. Whoever tries to harass me would be extremely small fry next to this. But go on. Try. See what happens.
The haters fucked around, now they're finding out. And once this all is over... boy are they going to find out who exactly they're messing with if they try.
So, again, if you have something to say to me, say it to my face, in my asks, under your name.
Show me you have a spine.
