Legit me when I first checked out Dandy’s World 😂

I have no hope for Roblox games so I didn’t bother playing it as I thought the game was just your average repetitive game that copies Piggy or something but I actually started to see it as a favorite as time went on.

Were you LGBTQ + before watching Marble Hornets?

Or were you LGBTQ+ after watching Marble Hornets?

To put it bluntly: I think people should stop playing the game for now.

Based on the public statements and documentation released by former members of the team, I don't believe it's appropriate to continue financially supporting the project while these issues remain unresolved. In my opinion, "separating the art from the artist" doesn't really apply here because playing the game directly benefits its current ownership.

If you still enjoy the characters or the community, that's completely different. Keep making fan art, writing stories, creating animations, or playing alternatives such as Animal Hospital or modded versions of Dandy’s World that don't support the official release.

I know this isn't an easy decision, especially if you've already spent money on the game. But I think it's worth asking yourself what's more important: getting your money's worth, or standing in solidarity with the people who say they were harmed.

There’s a more ethical choice.

A significant drop in player support sends a much stronger message than simply expressing disappointment online. If meaningful accountability or changes—such as new ownership or other reforms—are ever going to happen, community pressure is one of the few ways players can make their voices heard.

It's also worth remembering that many younger players may not know about the situation at all. If you meet someone who genuinely isn't aware and you have the opportunity to explain what's happened, do so respectfully. Give them the information and let them make an informed decision for themselves. Harassing or attacking people isn't productive, but informing them is.

For anyone who wants to read the documentation and decide for themselves, I'll attach the subreddit megathread and the publicly available statements below.

do not interact with me, thank you.

Edit (February 4th, 2026): I’m making this edit without deleting the original post so there’s transparency and accountability. I’ve removed “narcissists” from my DNI after receiving understandable negative responses. I don’t want to keep this situation going or escalate drama.

That was added based on personal experiences and frustration, without thinking through the implications, and I recognize now that it was wrong. People with NPD and other mental disorders are welcome to interact with me here. I need to be more patient and thoughtful going forward.
