#nopeify

honestly embarrassing if you can’t afford it

austin: tired divorced mother of 5 who won’t stop playing video-games in the middle of the love or host

minx: if she could she would walk out of the room and just not come back, but she’s still got champagne and chicken wings to finish

schlatt: skate 3 :)

niki: literally so exhausted by all of the times schlatt has broken minx’s heart while she still somehow trusts him so she’s trying to fix the situation herself and it’s not working out too well

jack manifold: he was not silent, he was silenced

sam withers: “and did i mention i was on love island?”

emma: i legit think she might murder schlatt someone please watch that woman because if mr. president turns up dead in the hudson i won’t even be surprised i will just say “i told you so”

esfand: if “gentle giant” was a person it would be this man. i don’t even care if he hosted he is wonderful i wanna be his friend (but also why the FUCK was he just blasting fart porn)

polite: desperately trying to pay off schlatt with edited videos but forgetting he never uploads anyway so he doesn’t need a free editor

nopeify: THAT’S what he looks like?????????

riflos: i can’t tell if he wanted to fuck minx, schlatt, or both of them but good for him either way

jagger: low-key proclaiming his genuine love for minx and then just turning around and HOSTING

stonepa: as always, a man of few and yet so many words (on twitter, that is)

maliyah: master of camouflage and sucking up to schlatt

I did! I rarely get involved in fandom discourse, but I did speak my piece on the matter earlier. The long and short of it is that Sean fucked up by hiring Nopeify as his new editor, an individual who he didn’t make even the most cursory background check on (as any good employer can and should do). Even though signing on a new editor was originally intended to ease the burden on Robin.

Sean has now apologized (in that post you mentioned) and fired Nopeify from his employ, after members of his fanbase brought to light Nopeify’s questionable content over the course of the last month. And I can recognize and acknowledge when people are trying to do better and be better than they originally were, and when their correction genuinely takes people’s feelings into account.

Sean lost a lot of faith with many of his LGBTQ+ fans for hiring that new editor, as Nopeify has a history of using slurs and making incendiary statements. But, instead of letting the matter rest and leaving his fans in the dark, Sean realized his decision to hire someone like that hurt people and is doing what he can to fix it. But, as a public individual with millions following him, Sean also needs to keep in mind that his decisions can and do impact the world – and people in the community – around him.

Hopefully, this is a positive sign that he’ll learn from this and think more carefully about his choices in the future, rather than making snap decisions… however well-intentioned they might be.
