#controversies

First off, these are my opinions. These are not targeted at anyone. And these aren’t meant to offend anyone. This applies solely to the fandom and people in the fandom, not the actual works created by the team. But some of what I say is actual fact. You’ll be able to distinguish that from my opinions pretty clearly, I believe.

The incessant hate on ASMP. Yes, I call it ASMP, because “Cocomau” is honestly a name that I feel is such a stereotype for the modern videos and isn’t even accurate. As someone who originally watched ASMP before discovering the RP’s, it’s not brainrot. Honestly, I doubt anyone who calls ASMP “Brainrot” knows what Brainrot is. Like, trust me when I say that YOU didn’t grow up where Brainrot is the language spoken in schools by like 80% of the students, and it’s honestly so obvious that the people who call it that don’t know what true brainrot is and don’t have to deal with it on a daily basis 😭 There have been a few videos centered around Brainrot, but not that many. Also, it’s not for babies, as much as everyone thinks. Even now, as someone who is much older than I was when I first got into the fandom, it doesn’t appeal to me as much as it did before, but it’s still enjoyable to watch and decently funny!! Also, the argument about the thumbnails being weird. Guys… please tell me you know what this generation grows up with. While I agree that some of them are a bit questionable, most of them ARE appropriate, and guys, please. Every child in this modern generation who is even 10 is watching Outer Banks and TSITP… 😭😭😭 they’ll be fine with ASMP and it’s quite more appropriate than what many young kids watch now

2. I NEED PEOPLE TO READ THIS PART FULLY BEFORE COMMENTING, BECAUSE SOMEONE IS GOING TO ATTACK ME FOR NOT LETTING PEOPLE HAVE THEIR OWN SHIPS. SHIP WHATEVER YOU WANT!!! SHIPPING IS A FREE THING THAT EVERYONE CAN DO HOWEVER THEY CHOOSE!!! THAT’S NOT WHAT IM ABOUT TO SAY, OKAY???

The MCD Aarmau hate.

guys. so many people actually DESPISE mcd Aaron. And like… why? What did he DO?? And everyone is for some reason pissed and hate the ship because “they had no development”… but like… why do we hate Aaron? He’s a good guy. I’m not saying you can’t dislike characters. I’m just saying people lowkey wishing the worst on him and MCD aarmau. Lemme just say, you can ship whatever you want, but Jess herself said so before: please be kind. trashing on another ship to defend your own ship is NOT an argument. If you cannot defend something without putting something else down, that is not actually defending your point, that’s just trying to make your point look better by trying to make another look weaker. I also think we should acknowledge that MCD Garmau and Laurmau have flaws too. I do ship one of those three, but I’m not gonna say what it is because this is an unbiased statement about how we should be defending ships and how we ship respect others ships. They all have their flaws. For example: MCD Aarmau wasn’t developed enough, was very out of the blue and kinda just shoved in our faces. MCD Garmau - Garroth betrayed her once and made her lose 15 years with her children and subjects, why would she want to be in a relationship with him + with his jealous tendencies? MCD Laurmau - Laurance was jealous and slightly possessive of a girl who wasn’t even his, and even went insane when he found out she was pregnant with another dudes child. Again, please defend you ship without putting another one down. Example: MCD Aarmau - Aaron was kind to her and helped her around the village and with Lilith, MCD Garmau - Garroth was her loyal guard and helped her through thick and thin, stayed by her side always, and helped with her kids and village SOO much, MCD Laurmau - Laurance would have DIED for her, he was so kind to her, he protected her with his life , even in another realm. Ya see how I did that without putting any of the other ships down?

YOU GUYS SERIOUSLY NEED TO LEARN HOW TO DO THAT. It’s basic respect, not just in shipping discussion, but any argument.

3. False rumors surrounding Jesson + PEOPLE WHO POST ABOUT THEM WHO CLEARLY DON’T KNOW THE ENTIRE STORY OR AREN’T WILLING TO LEARN (always with the excuse: well I have a life it’s not like I know everything- then why did you assume it in the first place?)

first off, the fetish thing. S5 Aphmau’s behavior was NOT a fetish of Jess’ that was inserted into the story. It was a clearly stated PLOTPOINT. Say it with me: P L O T P O I N T. THAT IS THE ENTIRE REASON AARON HAD A TALK WITH HER ABOUT IT IN S5! IS EVERYONE FORGETTING THAT?? IT WAS LITERALLY SUPPOSED TO SHOW HOW WEIRD AND BAD WEREWOLVES CAN BE TREATED! WHY ELSE WOULD JESS HAVE AARON BASICALLY TELL APH HE WASN’T COMFORTABLE WITH IT??

second, people straight up LYING about Jason “requiring” Aaron to be the love interest. Guys. Jason doesn’t force Jess to make Aaron the love interest. That’s Jess’ choice. Also, AARON ISN’T EVEN THE LOVE INTEREST IN ALL THE SHOWS! HE’S NOT EVEN IN ALL THE SHOWS! Examples where Aaron isn’t the love interest:

Upside Down Stories - it’s Gene instesd

Heart Point - Ryo

Void Paradox - either MCD Laurance or Jayden or by a long shot Monty

My Inner Demons - It’s gonna be one of the Daemos boys or Zex by a stretch

and that’s just a few. please. Do. Your. Research. I BEG OF YOU 😭

3rd: WHY DOES THIS FANDOM BLAME EVERYTHING ON JESS AND JASON?? DOES NO ONE REMEMBER HOW SHE WAS HOSPITALIZED AFTER HAVING A BREAKDOWN IN 2016?? ALSO, NOT ALL THE BLUJAY DRAMA WAS NEVER CONFIRMED. SHE’S COOL WITH ROSS AND MAX AGAIN, AND JASON HAS APOLOGIZED FOR HIS PART IN IT. ALSO, EVERYONE IS MAD ABOUT HOW THEY SAID THE WORKPLACE FELT “TENSE”, BUT, GENUINE QUESTION: YOU PUSH A PREGNANT WOMAN WITH THREE KIDS TO GET RPS OUT FASTER, SHE’S GONNA PRESSURE HER EMPLOYEES TO GO FASTER, AND YOU THING THE WORKPLACE IS GONNA BE SUNSHINE AND RAINBOWS?? 😭 the fandom was absolutely a part of the problem in the Blujay drama, and there’s even a chance it could have not happened or happened at a lower scale if the fandom had been a better community. But no one wants to acknowledge that.

4. the Aarmau age gap. Guys… AARON WAS NOT A SUPER SENIOR?? WHERE DO PEOPLE GET THAT FROM?? I ASSURE YOU, HE WAS BELOW EIGHTEEN. HIM AND APH HAD KNOWN EACH OTHER FOR AT LEASTTHE FOUR YEARS PRIOR ONLINE. THEY KISSED TWICE. PLEASE STOP ACTING LIKE SOMETHING ILLEGAL HAPPENED. 🙏

YES, AARON WAS OLD COMPARED TO HER. I ACKNOWLEDGE THAT. I ACKNOWLEDGE THAT A FRESHMAN AND A SENIOR SHOULDN’T BE TOGETHER. BUT GUYS THEY WEREN’T TOGETHER. THEY KISSED TWICE. IT’S NOT THE END OF THE WORLD. CALM DOWN. AND THERE WAS NO “WAITING UNTIL SHE TURNS EIGHTEEN” EITHER. THEY DATED YEARRRRRSSS LATER. OKAY? OKAY. also, WHYYY are we attacking Jesson for their age gap? How much do you live under a rock? A four year age gap is NOT a big one. Also, what do you want them to do?? REWIND TIME?? And Jess apologized and said it was HER fault, so guys, why are we hating so much. Genuinely. They can’t fix what happened. They are a loving couple. In a healthy marriage. Leave them alone.

That’s it… for now. If you stuck through this far, thanks. Bye for now, y’all. Also, sorry about the grammar mistakes and sentences that were worded weirdly, they’re making me mad but I’m too tired to correct them lol

𓂃 ❀ this is just a post about a hot take in the shifting community. please don't attack anyone for their opinion ♡

as an asian woman who has been in the community for a year, i can say that i honestly do not mind when people race-change in their desired realities. i do have some problems with it though. and no, race-changing in shifting means changing your actual race and doesn't mean going from a human to an animal. thats species-changing.

yes, it is strange for me to see white reality shifters change their race so they can be a person of color when they have never experienced being a person of color at all. in my mind, i think its rather strange for a non-person of color to do that. nonetheless, if they aren't making racist jokes or making fun of the race they shifted to be, then i really just don't care. it is not my business as to what people do in their desired realities, i just help people with scripting. this applies to all races btw.

i could be a bit biased because i do race-change in some of my drs. i am being honest.

"b-but mel!! why would you want to change your race when reality shifting??!!" i promise you guys, i'm not being weird when i do that stuff.

honestly, i really just don't care what people do in their desired realities since it's not my business. it is not my job to police shifters on what they should or shouldn't do in their desired realities unless it's borderline illegal. so no, i don't care if you scripted this or that out. it's not my business.

i dunno, lmk your opinions. don't say: "i hate you for this omg no i hate you and your posts waaa" 🫥🫥

"blackwashing!!" "its just a word!" "it was a long time ago" "its just hair" "they didnt even say the word!" "the internet is so sensitive..." "pinkie pie is pink!!" "jabber doesnt have a confirmed race!!" "cosplay is for everyone!" (referring to that white jabber cosplayer)

TRANSLATING...🔄🔄:

If you're a member of the Hazbin Hotel fandom, more specifically the Murdermedia/radiostatic community, you most likely have heard about it's most popular fanwork 'The Rerun'.

And going on from this, you would have heard of it's recent discourses across multiple platforms - twitter, tumblr, tiktok etc. One of two things, the creator having been on hiatus for god knows how long and well, its confirmed use of ai.

"Oh but, how could this be?? There's no way of knowing!!"

Well thanks to our wonderful friend of the great Archive, user @heatedrivalryai on twitter released a Google document covering html code through source pages that reveals whether or not a 'author' used Claude AI in their works.

Upon a friend sending me this document, I had a look through its heavily detailed and correctly referenced reports and am to believe it is extremely accurate and reliable.

(Here is a link to the document for those curious!!) https://drive.google.com/file/d/1YyFKLzunnvVJRDTql5nHJwBb-swxIftn/view?pli=1

So running these tools through the fics source codes, i found over 1,000 uses of ai. Which is both horrible and disgusting to see, giving the large fanbase that this work has built, with hundreds of artists having given their time and REAL talents towards a project they deemed worthy of said skills.

An example of this would be Hazbin Hotel animator @silentzound, who made a post 24 hours ago about the upsetting news of the creator quitting. It is safe to assume that at this point in time, they were unaware of the ai 'allegations' and had only heard word on the creator deleting the work and quitting.

It is truly so upsetting to see posts like these, I know how it feels to see your favourite work be deleted and thrown away.

But other than the author - known as "Leech" on discord, quitting and deleting as much evidence of having existed in the first place, both I and a few anonymous people on discord have scrounged up information.

The first thing I would like to show for context is the message a mod left in the official rerun server (hosted by leech) that was named "Jonestown if it was good". A, that is a disgusting name and I had no idea what it had meant until recently. And B, I was never very active in said server, and only used it as a announcement channel for when updates were released / discussion on said new chapters.

So i know very little to none about what happened between leech, the moderators and the active members. All information I have is from a second-hand source of a small gathering who got together after the crisis of server members being suspended before being banned. I was told that he and his mods (a common one being 'clowncat') made crude comments with and towards minors, allowed his members/mods to racially profile members, as well as 'acting like a total dick' to everyone due to his 'personality.' Again, i have no substantial proof for this other than people's word.

(borrowed screenshots from other members)

A conversation I and another were having after the big announcement (which i will show soon) before both being suspended. (theyre here TO SILENCE ME ToT)

At this point in time, the ai usage were still allegations and no one had left substantial evidence. We were focused on the leech's announcement left through a moderator.

From this, there are many conclusions that can be drawn. Three key points:

What kind of asshole doesn't make this announcement themself??

continuing to lie about the ai allegations knowing damn well you used it. just admit to your faults?? WHY continue to lie.

and of course, what a coincidence that you quit the same time period as the allegations arising??

Whilst this report should remain not, I will become bias in the fact that the usage of ai in fanworks should not be condoned nor supported, whether the 'author' is open about it or not. And, if you DO use it, do not claim the work as your own. Yes, it was your idea to prompt the AI in the first place, but you did not craft for hours therefore it is not yours. Simple enough, no?

Apparently not for the great minded Leech, who has not been heard from other than deleting his server. (not the fic yet, surprisingly.)

After this announcement of removing himself from the fandom and community, he went on to say that he wishes to still join other servers and talk with the people. HELLO????

As I previously said, I never spoke with any of these people and therfor do not know how close leech was with them, but it seems a bit egotistical of the sorts considering his past with being a total asshole. (which i will cover more on his past once i wrap up this ai bullshit)

Basically, if you weren't convinced enough already, I myself ran the given html codes to cement substantial proof of AI usage with Claude.

Whilst this method will not work for all AI using fics, neither will it be much use in the future as 'authors' will start to find ways around it, it is extremely useful for pre-existing works.

oouhh bonus twitter screenshot, i dont have much to say on it but if people were curious. (i dont have the orginal post i just have this that i uh... borrowed...)

Okay! So we have a basic idea now - Leech used Ai ro write a fanwork, got caught, ditched really weirdly and unprofessionally, and now everyone is tryna pick up the scraps!

Well would you believe me if I said this wasn't the... first time this has happened... in a way, that is.

See after doing spme discussing with friends/acquaintances of Leech's, I found out that he apparently wrote the third most popular Gravity Falls fanwork for its time. Take this with a grain of salt, as people can be wrong/misleading, and that last thing i want to do... is spread misinformation!! (hah. get it. okay fuck you.)

According to what information I have, in a previous point of time, (no dates im sorry im a bum) Leech had a similar community and situation that he has now - huge, famous fanwork, server and fan space on discord with fans he hated, and going on hiatus before ditching.

I tried my hardest to search for this fanwork and for more evidence of it being true, but as a newbie to the shittalking-people-with-proof, i was unlucky. like i said, do not take this as factual, but more so something to consider when approaching your viewpoint on leech.

For now, I believe i have addressed everything I had wished to talk about. I talk a lot, wanted to talk a lot, and am also a nobody who just felt like they needed to well, talk about it.

I am HOPING that this post gets even a little bit of traction, as i really enjoy piecing together things like this, given the opportunity.

In summary, The Rerun fanwork on Archive of Our Own has been proven to be AI Generated using Claude AI, with the creator known as Leech having quit in a confusing way.

Here i have attached PDF versions of The Rerun, for whatever reason you may wish to access it.
