#mod dew

Alright first things first, I am no longer a part of the Officialverse. However I was a part of it for a very long while. And since I left I have been watching this discourse unfold.

Now the reason I bring this up at the start is because, I know the "rules". I know how the Officialverse is ran and how the people in it interact and the general atmosphere of the community. And knowing that information is very important when understand what exactly is happening here.

What's happening here, at the core, is basically a clash in personalities and general respect. There has and always will be people who join the Officialverse and don't necessarily fit with the majority. However that is no reason to kick them out or put them on a blacklist. It does become a problem when the person starts disrespecting or acting out inappropriately.

As the mod of Goofy-Official put it:

Now that response was pointed at Gaston after this discourse. Specifically the part, "The really only way to handle them mod is just to make the person feel so unwelcome that they just leave on their own", is not advice for everyone who goes against the grain in the Officialverse. That quote only relates to those who are going out of their way to cause trouble and discourse in the community.

Now I'm sure, if this post gets some much needed attention, the new people will be confused as to what actually happened. And I'm sure there will be a few who might agree with what Gaston has done however it is important to keep in mind that the Officialverse is a tight-knit group that are very diverse in their life and past experiences. Because of that people often find certain things uncomfortable or unsettling to talk about or to be around.

Now this screenshot was brought up in a PSA by Isabelle-Official however I thought it would be important to mention:

Now this is the only screenshot I currently have of that conversation and I currently have no access to the full conversation. However those are his beliefs and he puts them a little less kindly in his current Gaston-Official bio

Gaston-Official bio as of 8/24:

Now I know for a fact that the people in the Officialverse are very open and caring. They try their best to offer help and comfort for whoever might be feeling less than ideal. I've seen people rush to offer any help they can give. Which is why I find this next part hard to believe.

Official-Lefou's summary of the discord ban:

Like I said earlier I have no way of currently accessing the full conversation that sparked this however after being a part of the community for way longer than Gaston or Lefou I can say without a doubt that this is extremely overexaggerated.

But if you still think that the hate is underserved then I'll give you one last screenshot and then I'll get into some stuff I think people should have mentioned a little earlier.

Gaston doesn't actually care about the Officialverse (shocking I know):

I'm not really here to convince anyone that he doesn't care about the Officialverse though, I'm sure we've all gathered that much already. I'm just trying to create a fairly detailed PSA about this account.

And now the stuff I think should've been brought up:

This is from Gaston. This was in his "13 Reasons Why I'm Leaving The Officialverse" post that ended up being fake.

The reason I bring this up is because for a while the oldest people in the Officialverse were like 18 with the majority of them being younger. I was on the older end of the group and I felt like had I been any older, this stupid little ironic meme rp would've been weird/creepy. So the fact that the mod of Gaston is a fully grown adult with a child, who is around the age of most of the officials, is extremely concerning to me. It's like a grown adult showing up to a random kid's birthday party.

And that's it for what I have now. There will definitely be more to come.

Remember Officials, Stay Safe!

This is from Gaston's most recent post

Now I'm glad that the actual mod is talking out of character for once.

For the most part, I think this blog has done its job. It was created as a PSA for Officials to be weary of Gaston and to shed light on the discourse surrounding him.

Now I was posting what I was given and in my eyes I haven't spread any lies.

While I still find him interacting with Officials to be really unsettling due to the difference in age, there's no real way of stopping him because of that

At this point Gaston probably won't change his url or won't stop interacting with Officials. Since this is the case, I would recommend blocking him or filtering his tags like he said.

Just stop interacting with him and block him if he becomes annoying.

That's probably the most you can do and eventually you won't hear from him again.

I understand many of you wanted his blog gone or whatever but judging by his stance that probably won't happen and I never saw it as my job to make that happen.

I wanted to spread info and keep the people safe from any potential uncomfortable encounters.

This blog will still be active, replying to asks/reblogs. However as we are right now, any submissions or additions won't be addressed, at least by me, unless some really bad happens involving Gaston

He's unwilling to talk out of character, he's still completely disregarding people's requests and triggers.

He's acting like some sort of "Real Life Prophet" for the Internet, teaching Officials the "Real Life Truth"

Remember, Stay Safe!
