I feel like this is the most accurate definition:

1. Someone who believes dypshoria is required to be trans2. Someone who believes that being trans is a medical condition & forces this belief onto others.3. Someone who believes they have the right to police the identities of others.

Thank you! It's nice to see people so excited about the creation of this blog and it seems to makes it all worthwhile. Also, it's so great that you are finally getting into The Creatures! They are good people, but like everybody else, they do have their problematic sides. Again, thank you for spending the time to send this message!

Thank you for your support! It really means a lot to us and I think it's great that you can recognise that, even though you may not need this blog because you don't feel hurt or oppressed by their humour, that other people do. Thank you for that!

The fact that they are meant to come of as comical does not make them comical. They are still oppressive and they are still hurtful. This is more about how they view humour than it is about anything. They are naturally funny people and do not have to resort to oppressive humour in order to make people laugh.

I enjoy most of their content and would love to keep enjoying it. However, there are parts of their content that are harmful and that is the parts that I do not enjoy. I don't want to give up on watching something that I've been a part of for 4-5 years now, and I will not, just because of the maybe 1% of the content that I hate.

I would say that this is productive, considering the amount of support that we have gotten from the fanbase, especially regarding people who felt ostracised,  and if I can just provide a safe space for people to come and unload their concerns about The Creatures, then I would say that that is productive enough for me.

Thank you for your message/perspective though!

Thank you for the nice message. It's nice that you realised that this blog should be taken seriously instead of passing it off as ridiculous, and I wish more people would give us that chance!

Yes, we all still watch them! I am literally watching creature talk 102 right now! We actually love and adore them but they do a lot of problematic stuff which cannot be ignored.

okay, hello. we’re not bullies. we’re people who have the option to think critically of others. we don’t want them to change. we love them just as much. they’ve made us fall in love with them, that’s why this blog is here. please don’t start saying stuff that isn’t true and being proud of yourself. ~mod Lindsay

We love The Creatures too, that is why we want them to stop insulting us, making us hate ourselves because they use slurs that oppress us. They saved my life when I was being abused by my father, and when I was sexually abused by my friend so don't you dare tell me that I am being sensitive because I want them to stop hurting me. I have spent 4 years watching and supporting them, the least they can do is treat me and people like me respectfully.

Also, "bullies", we are calling out problematic behaviour, we are not insulting them or making them feel bad about themselves. They are in privileged positions. They could send droves of people to bully us (if they knew about the blog). We cannot bully people who oppress us.

Well, a lot of people weren't comfortable. That is why we created this blog. Just because a group of people seem comfortable, doesn't mean they are. I made myself seem comfortable in the fandom because it was common, it was the norm, so I conformed to what the fandom wanted. I shouldn't have done that but I also know a lot of other people who felt uncomfortable expressing themselves in the fandom.

They owe us nothing? So we should stop giving them money and stop watching their videos and stop watching their streams because that is how they get money. That is how they make a living. They owe us enough respect as to not insult us in a majority of their videos.
