It's been hard for me to have online friendships ever since escaping a really toxic one a few years ago. I know not everyone on the Internet is toxic, and I've made some really great friends I still chat with to this day, but a part of me is still afraid about what people could possibly be hiding behind that screen. That friendship really ruined me- seeing I have new messages gives me anxiety, even if it's just someone wishing me happy birthday or complimenting my avi or something. Also, ever since coming to college, I've been trying to cultivate irl relationships because it's easier for me to read people face-to-face, and I've been an Internet loner for so long that I'm excited to be able to finally connect with people around me.

It's best to bring it up with the mods regardless. There's tasteful and there's actually racist, so if you feel like it's crossing the line, then there's no harm in at least checking if it really should be that way.

We do, but it's for stuff like, say, a 9/11 meme that's not demeaning anyone in particular but is still a pretty sensitive topic. I'm not sure if what BlueFox said is quite allowed, but again, ask the mods.

If you have a personal issue with how the server is run, please PM anyone in the mod team to express all of your concerns. We'd hate to see you go because you feel uncomfortable in the server.

I totally understand your concerns when it comes to the tastefully-offensive channel. The channel was made to put, as Bifrost explained, memes that made humor out of more sensitive topics that wouldn't belong in the general channels. This is why it's considered an 18+ channel, however, our policy about jokes that are hateful in nature still apply.

While this server is three years old, we're still learning and trying to figure out how we can moderate the 18+ channels where it doesn't feel restrictive but it doesn't cross the line either. We've been focusing on the nsfw channel since the rules there were previously very vague and we've had many "crossing the line" moments there, but because no one has approached us about the tastefully offensive channels, it has flown under the radar. We're human and we don't catch everything, especially in a channel as active as that one.

However, I will speak for myself and say that it's partially my fault that this has happened since I don't really check the tastefully offensive channel at all. Mostly because it isn't my sense of humor, but as a mod, I should have kept a watchful eye anyway and made sure nothing crossed a line. I apologize for that, and I will do a better job in the future.

Despite that, I still urge you to voice any concerns that you have with us. It's fine that you posted in this topic, but I'd hate to see you go over something that we can help you with. However, if your mind is made up, I understand.

While I understand why it's called Tastefully Offensive and its purpose, I do think it'd be wise to ban racist memes because, at times, they're originally made with malicious intent. Offensive humor in regards to race isn't something I ever really enjoyed (Nor am I close to good at it when I try.), and seeing how Flyingseal, Bluefox, and Bolt (And presumably others) feel the same way, I do think that considering banning offensive jokes geared towards race should be banned.

Besides, from what I can remember, race jokes aren't too common on TO anyway, so their absence won't make much of a difference in activity in the channel.

I'm not in the server anymore myself, though it does strike me as a tad odd that people are only complaining about this now after all this time when considering that the channel in question has been like this since its inception. (IIRC?)

Not saying that anyone would be wrong for feeling uncomfortable depending on what exactly had occurred, mind you.
It's just hard for me to not to be confused because of both the above point in my first sentence, and because of said lack of insight as to what happened in this situation in particular.


I'd only been in the server for a few months so it was a surprise to me, although the general rules did have a warning. The image in particular was something along the lines of "when people say black panther had the first all-black cast" and lo and behold there was Caesar the ape. :/

What with the history of us being compared to monkeys, I wasn't too amused.

Here’s an attempt to get off this subject: as much as I hate the term, I do think the CalArts style is real, and I’m pretty tired of seeing those big eyes and bean mouths. There’s minimalism and then there’s that. It’s just so overused.

Okay so confession, pretty much most if not all of my OCs are just....fanchildren. Like actually. If I talk about them with you and the stories I imagine for them, there is nothing that really indicates that they belong to a certain franchise or that they're even based off of a certain character. But they are.

When I was younger I would shamefully write a bunch of fanfics featuring my made-up children of my favorite characters, and then those children would interact with OTHER fanchildren either from the same franchise or a different franchise. I would just use the logic of one setting in order to excuse the reason why two non-canon characters from two different franchises would interact.

But the reason why I say shamefully is because after a really bad encounter of someone absolutely ragging this concept and one of my stories on their fanfiction review blog, anytime I'd share an OC to a friend or even just to post online in an RP or thread or something, I would literally change their entire backstory while trying to keep the main elements of who they are. This habit slowly turned into like...a method to create characters??? I literally still use it to this day, even though I'm not really interested in writing fanfic anymore or even being a part of fandom culture.

It's really fun too, because I use my favorite characters or characters that I'd think would have an interest parent dynamic with the kid (like sometimes, I just use characters who would be TERRIBLE parents because that would make a cool backstory for the kid). That sort of helps get me more invested in the OC's story and personality, I care for them more emotionally. Then I would ask myself "okay, what sort of personality/hobby/aspect of this character would this kid have?" and then I'd develop that to a point where that personality/hobby/aspect is theirs rather than the parent character.
Then anything from that character's universe, such as a use of magic or time travel shenanigans, is either incorporated into my OC or mutated in a way that's either original or more logical and realistic. Say the character I'm making a fankid for is an alien - well, would their kid be an alien too? Would it be half alien, half human? Once I figure that out, then I ask if I should keep my new OC as an alien, or should I change their race into something else. Maybe something from high fantasy, like an orc or an elf? Or maybe keep it more grounded in reality?

It's a fun, great starting point for a creating an OC. I highly recommend it if you've never created an OC like this because it's...very self indulgent, but it also makes use of your creativity to find a way to make it your own and unique.

^ that's how a lot of mine started, honestly.
My grungy cyberpunk anthro dragons (that I'm still slowly making an animated pilot for LMAO) started as Spyro fanchildren. And my flower cats who you'd think would have started as warriors fan characters started as cat versions of characters from ****ing Sally Bollywood.

So I've gotten used to Sonic's conjoined eye situation. I've come to appreciate it, knowing that he's essentially if anime and rubberhose aesthetics had a baby. Still trying to work around the whole side mouth thing, but it doesn't creep me out as much as Ty's does. In general, I prefer Skelly's and Stanley's newer designs for the series. (i.e, the Pronghorn Sisters, Whisper, Tangle, etc.)

HOWEVER...

I like blue arms. I just think they're neat.

It's been bothering me more and more and I just don't care right now.

And this kind of post goes against my point anyways but oh well.

It really upset me and feels unfair/hypocritical how people here remember my angrier posts during hard times and about dumb **** and seem to forget how much I did try to post positive and how much I did uncover for Skylanders specifically.
Does anyone remember that time I stayed up until 2 AM to post screenshots of that leaked Imaginators footage? Very recently even looking through the game files and posting those discoveries. Tried a little to compile info others didn't. Posted TONS for SG/SF/TT, a lot of the news people posted here, I originally posted on Ghostroaster. (****, the "everything we know" and "general discussion" ideas came from me, doing that on Ghostroaster. Also recall many contributions I made on my first couple of accounts.) Raved about some of those games and aspects I did like (and Skylanders wasn't the only thing I posted about liking either). Or some more recent threads I tried that were less serious. Posted a lot of mechanical details I figured out and gameplay ideas and ****. I did a lot of good with that kinda stuff.

And nobody really spoke to me about stuff that did bother them about me. Over all these years. All my requests. I really had a little hope that people here still would but I see this place just has the same traits I hated about it as always and that won't ever change.
Despite that- and despite a lot, a lot of personal ****, baggage, my own faults, my bias against this place, dragging me down- I tried to change a bit, I tried not to be constantly pessimistic or pissy here, I tried to post some better stuff, I continued to post some of the good old stuff I used to. I wanted some help, wanted some company, but oh well, can't hold that against anyone, but I really have been stuck in **** what feels like constantly, and really tried, and I feel ****ed. I definitely didn't do the best job, and again even now I'm going against my point, and I'd make posts being positive about one but feeling like criticism toward something else in the same post as trying to put it down, like i.e. even when I'm praising something there's still negativity, but I ****ing tried not to be a "whiner" as apparently some people have called me.

I truly feel like people here came to hate me and the kind of positive stuff I posted so much of over the years, discovered, and put lots of work in had been really forgotten. I feel like even people who spoke right to me disliked me more than they let on.

I wonder if I felt more welcome here earlier largely because I fit in the Skylanders community better and did a lot more for it and ****, Spyro's the actual thing again and I don't really like it and went too far sometimes.

I deserved more respect. Look back and see how much I really posted for Skylanders in particular, but more than that. So much ****posting, LoS-era topics, even certain friends I did make here and tried to help. And I really have mental issues, and I don't expect people to understand, but I admitted it so often, I asked for talks, and I never got that. Instead, gossip. I hate your gossip bull****. Late last year people would come up to me I swear every week with some gossip and sometimes it was about people I didn't even recognise by name. I had low expectations but the more this set in over the last couple of weeks the more disappointed I became. I'm not even angry, but **** this website.


Not that my opinion ever matters to anyone, but honestly, you're on of the few users on her I actually like. Though we haven't spoken much, you seem like a cool person who can actually post things that aren't trend topics or pointless nonsense, which seems to be how the majority of users are. I don't blame you for getting fed up honestly. The community here has become toxic and drives all the good users away.

If you've been close to someone for a long period of time but something happens and you just throw them away like they're nothing then I'm sorry but you're a very ****ty friend.
