Okay so I have some secondary opinions about the handlers which are actual criticisms towards them and not the community. Yes I am known for being a handler fan and glazer but I obviously should acknowledge the areas they lack in. The handlers are not perfect people. (HOWEVER THIS DOES NOT MEAN YOU SHOULD INAPPROPRIATELY HARASS THE HANDLERS FOR THIS, im simply voicing my own opinions)

- The MHs should do a background check before they let fans collaborate with them. Im sure some people have heard about the problematic creators being promoted for the latest creator month (Krillby_LokiDart allegedly supporting a p3d0 in the msm community and Ewubbz being a sexual harasser from what I've heard.)

I've heard of these from one of my friends and I think it's disgusting BBB would promote these kinds of creators art, instead of looking at their history and taking action. I understand that it would be hard to do a background check for every artist they come across but they have the community, they should be able to listen to us when we rightfully criticize their decision making in this field. This game was meant for children, and I guess that's a factor of why thered be horrible people littered around the place but they should at least do something about it.

- I loved the MSM discord server back when before it was used for contests. I sorta got this opinion from somewhere else but I could expand on it. Whenever there's a new contest, of course, since the community is filled with minors, there will be WAVE of underaged people entering the discord server and not only causing havoc, but also putting themselves at risk. Not just that but this issue also just burns out their moderators since they now have to deal with even more dumb kids. The person who introduced this idea said they should stop straight up relying on the discord server for contests, and I agree. I do know however that it would be hard to do since reading through chats is a lot easier than scrolling through posts under a hashtag especially with how much of an eyesore it is to deal with YouTube sometimes. I know there's very little they could do about that but they have to be aware that that is happening right?

- This is a bit of glaze now but I wish they weren't afraid to introduce a villain or antagonist to MSM, even if just for a little gag. The DOMA thing was so interesting then it all dipped when Paironormal Carnival got out. I know the website still updates but still, it was so interesting. It had SO MUCH POTENTIAL I TELL YOU. One of the messages of MSM is to find beauty in diversity, wouldn't it be so interesting if we had a force that threatened that diversity? Making the DOMA agents represent a lifestyle of walking in a straight line, to conform just because it's comforting, would be SUCH A COOL CONTRAST TO WHAT THE HANDLERS REPRESENT. The handlers are meant to represent the same harmonic diversity that the monsters do, each monster handler plays a different role in the job of being one. And instead of conforming they embrace the diversity the monster world gives, which I believe is another reason why they continue on to study it. I feel like that's a lesson weve ALWAYS NEEDED. But we just got a website and visual novel half the fandom doesn't know exist and that's it. I know MSM isn't exactly a storytelling project but come on, that kind of personality to the game would go so hard.

It could start to seem like BBB doesn't want to really hear the community, they just want to have content made for them. Now it isn't wrong to want to showcase and show appreciation for the community's work, but like I've said, they should actually try to listen to us. No not just about updates but about the issues we find in the community itself. However I know that sometimes the way a fandom acts is completely out of control for the people behind the creations, but they can't act like they always know what they're doing. We SHOULD be able to report problematic ccs and have them removed from things like the Curator Club.

Despite all this I understand that it's probably not easy being an employee at BBB and that the handlers can't control everything, especially the fandom. I still deeply appreciate BBB for different reasons, and how much passion is put into everything. I'm just saying that maybe they should be aware of these issues and shouldn't just stay silent when we address them. Once again, BBB is flawed, obviously.
