Snowflake Supremacy

hi, anon! smile

um, i'll be going over the three things 5up discussed on his stream (x)

1. the jackbox thingy

fundy made some really inappropriate jokes about unconsensual sexual activities in a jackbox stream. he then prepared a stream to apologize for it, which i think he handled pretty good. i think by context alone you can tell that these are edgy jokes shared between friends, except that fundy forgot that the whole thing was being shared on a public platform lol. although he didn't have bad intentions, it was clearly an insensitive thing that he shouldn't have said on stream and he apologized accordingly.

2. the gorilla joke

here video. this one is the one that people reference the most to my knowledge, and it happened that in one stream that fundy is having a humorous convo with phill, he brings up how people will make stupid noises to imitate a gorilla and then he goes on to say that it's "racist". i get how it's easy to take it away from context but people don't take into account that english is not fundy's first language and he's from the netherlands too. this clip shows that there's other occasions in which fundy has referred to certain animals as "races". it's just him using the unfortunate example of a gorilla for it, which is usually used as a caricature to discriminate against black people. but context of the thing shows that he was humorously indicating that the imitation of the animal was so bad that it was "offensive" - again, there's a thing called a "hyperbole" and it's also a funny manner of speech.

intentions wise, it's clear that he never referred to black people in the first place (story had absolutely nothing to do with them in any way) and it takes like one minute to understand where he's coming from. however, it's really easy to twist this clip to mean what you want it to mean so, eh, unfortunate.

3. interjects/systems and fundy's discord

it was really hard to find proof for this on for some reason??? but here is what i found. basically, mods in fundy's discord made a rule against people with DID/OSDD to take roles of fundy and various other content creators. the argument of why it was wrong is that of course, you cannot expect people who suffer from DID and OSDD to have some sort of control over their alters. moreover, the mods made this rule upon an outburst of people who claimed to be systems as well, which people read as pointing fingers at systems and saying that they're only doing it for the trend. i think... this issue is particularly nuanced and there's not really a definite answer about it. the rules are there to make modding easier and assure a better discord for everyone involved, but the way some things were worded make it seem like they're treating DID as a new twitter trend. however, i believe what they mods said about the spike of people using alters on discord roles and names, and it's tricky to know who's doing it because they effectively suffer of the disorder, or if it's people who simply do it because they think it's fun. even things like self-diagnosing are tricky to discuss and have in mind when it comes to these things.

in the part of "hey how does this relate to fundy", i read that he's treated systems as "twitter trends" himself... which i honestly believe it's a reach because otherwise i would've found something about it lol. his behavior about his mods has been of ignoring the situation and umodding other people for other reasons/situations, at least that's what i read and what i'm inclined to believe is closer to the truth. certainly it's not something that pertains to fundy himself but more of the people he's allowed to mod his discord, which ....eh. if people want to cancel fundy, they'll take anything they can. right off the bat, calling the mods "ableist" is a reach and it doesn't help at all to actually find a solution to this entire situation.

EDIT: some people messaged me to include how fundy addressed the situation. i'm guessing he posted a twitlonger that i couldn't find anymore (good for her tbh) and here are some excerpts:

"...[the rule] went against my back. [...] The mod that has condoned this rule has been stripped from its status and removed from the mod team."

and further:

so looks like this was never fundy's idea from the first place, and then he took care of it afterwards. makes the whole "fundy is ableist" claim even more of a reach.

lastly, here's a video where 5up briefly mentions what happened with fundy. i just include it because i think he has fair takes on it, and it might help to clarify situations if you need it.

Transcription: "[reading chat] "Fundy getting shit on for nothing"? No, here's what I will say. Fundy got shit on... sometimes, justifiably. He got the shit he deserved for the jackbox thing. And he apologized for it, and he understands what he did wrong. Fundy did not deserve any shit for the gorilla thing, and people still call him racist."

Yeah I do wish bodies like Paris Hilton's were still the ideal. I miss when being a healthy ectomorph meant beautiful. Or just being healthy in general e.g. not having insulin resistance & a famine's worth of fat storage. Now being skinny just means weak, no ass, no tits. Bones aren't fun to hug. They say anything they can to make themselves feel better at your expense and it's actually starting to work sometimes because so many people are big now that it is the majority and you can't help but feel inadequate. 'Thick' is in. And if you can't achieve that then get ass surgery.

ik ive already posted about this, but cancel culture makes me lose pretty much all hope in humanity

i dont get it. not one bit. ive tried to educate myself and i just get more and more angry about it. people act like just because influencers having millions of people watching them every day (can you imagine that? the pressure that your every move is being judged and watched?) that theyre simply not allowed to make mistakes. people who call themselves “fans” of the creator act like they have never done anything wrong, that theyre just perfect and therefore they have the right to “cancel” everyone who steps out of line in the slightest. these “fans” call extremely anxiety-inducing remarks towards the creator “constructive criticism”. these “fans” go through videos or pictures or screenshots or tweets from years ago just to start drama. these “fans” see that stuff and ignore the fact that people do change, that they’re growing and learning as they get older. wth? do you really need that much educating that you need to be retaught how GROWING works? it’s like they don’t allow people to live properly anymore.

im using a creator known as tommyinnit as an example. im what twitter would call an “inniter”, but even if i werent i would know that this is just screwed up in general. he got cancelled for being friends with someone that twitter doesn’t particularly like, and i admit, schlatt has done some pretty messed up stuff. but do people really think that hes going to completely cut ties with HIS FRIEND because twitter told him to? they can’t control who he’s associated with, that’s not fair whatsoever. then there’s the matter of the ‘what will twitter think’ jokes. i always found these jokes that tommy made funny, because i have twitter and ik how much people can overreact (twitter users tend to be maniacs). but, people who feel attacked by these comments (because they know full well that they are one of the people described in the joke) get pressed about it and proceed to start drama. in summary, i just absolutely hate twitter sometimes.

not to mention, the fact that your political opinion can get you cancelled makes me angry as well. im not really into politics, i think it just causes more conflict, but the fact that so many creators have been cancelled because of their preference is crazy to me. its like nobody is entitled to their opinion anymore.

anyway, tommy streams and talks about the situation, and everyone wants him to ‘apologize’. for what? being friends with someone? joking around about psychotic twitter users who honestly need to take it down a notch? he sees the chat starting to fight and he gets anxious, his words come out in confusing patterns and nothing makes sense. hes obviously very nervous, you can tell by the sound of his voice and the way hes cracking his knuckles. and yet he was still so wise about the whole thing, everything that he said was something that could have come right out of my mouth. it made me feel physically sick watching my favorite creator like that. the whole situation makes me a little nauseous.

i dont know if im being dramatic, but it makes me SO ANGRY because i know that people like tommy dont deserve that, hes literally one of the most genuine and caring people alive. its all just making me really uncomfortable and i hope it blows over soon.
