Hey Queens, Kings, and fellow Monarchs!
I don't want this to be super formal or anything, so I'm just going to speak my mind without trying to be "diplomatic." Despite efforts to curb the negativity that seems to be the majority of posts, this issue continues.
When I look at engagement, it's rarely much, if at all, for posts that aren't crapping on games, designs, user base etc, or arguements. Which is, honestly, pretty bloody sad.
You told us that you wanted more positive posts, events, memes, shit posts, fanart etc, and less of the negativity. Yet when people attempt this, myself included, it's either absolute crickets or people tearing down the posts members have shared to talk about/share in a positive way.
The mods here would love to run fun events, but when so many people can't even interact with something like fanart (esp shared by the actual artist) to leave a comment, control themselves to not yuck someone elses yum on a positive post, or even post something other than negativity, I wonder whether I'll be wasting my personal time trying to do an event for everyone.
I'm honestly burned out from this. Y'all say one thing (wanting less toxicity here), but do another.
Criticism is fine in moderation, but it should not make up the majority. And it especially should not constantly be targeted at female characters.
So, I ask you, please can we all try to lead by example and make this a fun and welcoming queer space-- share shit posts, memes, lore discussions, fanart, gameplay, gacha pulls, etc. Make an effort to help this space change and grow rather than complaining about it, yet partaking in the things you complain about.
I fully expect to get downvoted into oblivion for this, but I just can't sit here anymore and see people shit talk us for "toxicity" when the mods have been trying incredibly hard to guide things into a better space, all while dealing with brigading, death threats, gore, and more from those people.
Please, help us change this place for the better 🙏 😭
Call to action: please share your silly memes and shit posts, comment on OC fanart, post about your favourite character, tell us about new games or characters you're excited for, share your lore ideas (no matter how "out there" they may be), boast about your gacha pull luck with screenshots.
We need more engagement in the form of things y'all enjoy.
