Soup Group meeting! 🍲💖

| bleeding hearts ranch 💘

Alright so, I’m sure some of you have seen and some of you haven’t, but Skizz addressed the whole situation both with the “trans rights” message and his moderators.

In essence, Skizz affirmed that he whole-heartedly believes in trans rights (he actually said the words) and that he has “parted ways” with the moderators in question. He also stated that his colleagues have helped him understand the situation better and have helped him navigate how to deal with it and how to better moderate hateful comments in his YouTube comment section (which I didn’t even know were happening but I’m glad to hear nonetheless). His wording wasn’t perfect, but frankly I’ve never asked for or expected perfection. Just hearing him outright say trans rights and him taking the step to remove those moderators is, frankly, enough for me personally to forgive him.

I know it won’t be enough for some people, and I understand that completely. I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t going to take some time for my trust in Skizz to be rebuilt. But I will say that I am no longer reluctant to even touch his stuff for fear that my money will go to someone who voted for a man who wants me dead (to be clear this is about the moderator. I was never under the belief that Skizz himself was a bigot). I was a huge Skizz fan before this incident and that might be making it easier for me to forgive him, and I get that.

I just wanted to say this here because I know enough people follow me who felt deeply betrayed by this situation who may want to know this update, but haven’t been watching Skizz for obvious reasons. I only found out because someone posted about it on the Hermitcraft subreddit and I decided to take their word for it and watch his statement. I implore you to watch it as well and make up your own mind.
