Another week of drama, except this one just might end on a highly positive note. Now to just figure out how to start it off… oh, yeah. One thing before I start this.
\nNatethief, has decided against confronting Ashi (due to what he could possibly do to him). Instead, he wants to be like Creepery, and defend the community. And I respect his decision.
\nNow, on with the two topics of discussion. The second one is much, much longer than the first. So get comfortable (if you care to read it all).<\/p>\n
Discussion #1: “Is Ashi done?”<\/strong><\/em> Discussion #2: “Could Creepery whip the mods into shape?”<\/strong><\/em> The next day, I was ready to ‘talk’ to this guy, who was quite surprised I would come after him. Though, I was too busy being in a blinding rage to see that he was talking to the guy, and getting him to apologize to Creepery. Even though I appreciate him doing so, I was still quite furious (as it seemed no matter how I attempted to approach the situation (even calming down at one time and attempting to get him to reason), he was defending this guy). Why? This was no joke, and I told him that I’m tired of seeing this disrespect. As for the guy who pissed me off, I told the Sad Discussion (and a few others) how this guy is pissed off at me (for no reason.. I was quite confused (at the time)), and he hates me now (and blocked me). And that… that is basically all I got for you. I may or may not rewrite parts (or the entirety) of this blog post. Until the next drama bomb.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Another week of drama, except this one just might end on a highly positive note.

\nI decided to DM Lazerwolf, about a week after Jrock had informed me the drama was isolated. I should had done it sooner, but I felt “there’s nothing I can do”. Luckily, he seemed cool with the delay, thanking me for checking up on him and saying that he’s been doing a lot better (and adding that Darks is taking care of him). Though I was confused why he was calling me “hun” (and even hugging me). I’ve never known him to say that to me ingame. Still, I went with it.
\nHearing he’s doing better, it seemed Ashi … maybe finally saw he’s been wrong all of this time. At least, I pray (for his sake). So I told everyone I could of the good news. They all were quite happy that Lazer was doing great.
\n—
\nYesterday, however… I got a slightly different version from an unlikely source; John. The guy that said he was done with all the drama (after what happened to me with the Best Boi Discord server). But due to a discussion (about the second topic I’ll discuss in detail), he told me, that 1) Ashi tried to create another community.. it’s obvious he knows about the group chat Covita set up. But it didn’t last long due to.. 2). Lazer gave DarksAnthro access to his Discord and VRChat accounts, to troll Ashi with it. And Ashi eventually discovered it (and shut down the community).
\nThat also explains why ‘Lazer’ called me “hun”.. that was Darks, not Lazer I spoke to that day. Clever.
\nIn addition, John said that Ashi has quit VRChat and Discord; “and does not plan on returning.” I want to say this is great news.. but knowing Ashi, I doubt this’ll be the last I hear of him. Then again, hopefully he’ll stay<\/strong> gone.
\nEDITOR’S NOTE: … As I said, I knew he would return. And he did. Bastard’s like Hotel California<\/em>. He ‘checks out’ whenever something goes wrong for him, but he never (fully) leaves!<\/p>\n
\nWith Ashi out of my life (for now), I can focus on a recurring problem within the Best Boi community. Though.. is it really<\/em><\/span> a problem, or myself overreacting again?
\nTo start off this second topic of discussion, I have some good news: two days ago, Creepery became a moderator! A trial mod, but still a mod! Finally, his life-long dream is being fulfilled (until this Saturday, when his trial ends). I’m so very happy for him, and I hope the mods allow him to be a permanent moderator (he deserves it, for all he’s done for the community).
\nThe reason he’s even a trial mod, is because of what happened to Zura (who will be talked about in this discussion). Though he’s worried that if Zura returns, he’ll be removed as a moderator.
\n—-
\nHowever, this didn’t go without controversy. Lycan, and Iceburg attempted to troll him (at least, from my POV). And like the good friend I am of Creepery, I defended him against these threats. Eventually I toned it down when Impulse had to get involved (after telling him what they said). It ended with Ice attempting to test my patience, but I resisted (hoping he’ll leave me alone).
\nAlso informed Creepery, who was close to leaving the community (but was told “they were just playing around”).. pfft, joke or not, you are supposed to respect moderators. If this was the MRT Server, they would be given a warning (instead of a slap on the wrist, as what I feel they got here).
\nThat evening (with Creepery sleeping), we had another one. They were saying “Creepery is a mod? *multiple laughing emojis* Man that made my day wtf” My response was “How about you actually show him respect?”, followed by “All of you. Stop judging him. Give him a chance. Please.”
\nSadly, as much as I hoped I finally got through to them (given how long it took until someone responded), this turned into an argument over a ‘joke’. And then someone else got involved, who was chewing my ass out (saying “he didn’t mean to say that”). On top of it, Impulse (the person I thought who was on my side)… was agreeing to this person (about how I was wasting my time and shit, and even had the nerve to tell me to go outside).
\nI was fucking furious at this person, who clearly was too blind to see what the fuck was going on (and had NO fucking business being in this conversation). But something also snapped in my brain, where I said “You know, you’re right. You’re absolutely right. It is a waste of time defending my best friend.” And then Impulse said “you could be working on being a moderator instead of causing drama”.
\nI wanted to rip this guy a new one, but instead I went to Creepery’s Discord server’s Sad Channel, hoping to get some support. I’m all “Impulse (who’s also in the server), you see yourself a failure (from a previous conversation of how bad the last meeting went), look at me. I can’t even fucking defend my friend right!!”
\nImpulse finally saw what I was trying to do again, and apologized to me. He states the reason why he said what he did, was to get people to just shut up and drop the conversation. I soon felt that I wasn’t a waste of oxygen anymore (which is good). But it was too late to confront the guy that should had stayed out.<\/p>\n
\nEventually it got to a point, where he<\/em> is getting pissed off at me, and saying he’s going to block me. And I’m all “block me, then. I enjoy creating enemies.” Then I stopped responding to him.
\nPal, you pissed ME off first. Don’t play the victim card (like Ashi). After then, I told Creepery that I’m not going to defend him anymore (since this is the result). But there’s one thing the guy said, that I actually agree with; Creepery needs to defend himself (and stop being so nice).
\nIt’s that niceness, that triggered those people to troll him (as they know how Creepery acts). Saying to “have a Happy Best Boi Day!” feels too much, even to me. Plus, he’s also worried that he’s going to lose points for not attending this Friday’s meeting. I have told him over and over, that it won’t happen.
\nEven on the MRT Server, it’s not<\/span> a requirement to be on every day (as a mod). However, with the GSMs, I believe you have to tell the admins of why you’re not able to attend. I’m not sure if that’s still the case with that server (not that I care, since I’m not a mod anymore).<\/p>\n
\nIt’s now yesterday, and Creepery’s all “no more. I’m done” (after getting what I told him). But like before, some of the admins calmed him down. Impulse also promised him, that there will be another discussion of respect within the community (during the meeting). That also goes to what I went through to defend him.
\nFor the remainder of the day, we had another discussion about how the mods don’t care about the community (in the Sad Discussion). This is when John spoke up, and discussed it with us (acting like “you guys are talking about something I already know”).
\nThis is when John and I started having a private discussion, starting about Lazer, and continuing with the community. He also told me about Zura. From what Creepery told me (who was told by the mods), that “he tried to start drama”… this isn’t true (according to John). He<\/em> says, Zura had enough of the corruption and tried to do something about it, and was demoted for his action.
\nThis put an idea into my head (that just might work). Since Creepery is so nice (and wants only the best for the community), he could use this to his advantage and get people to support him. However, given the fact he’ll be graded for his performance this Saturday, he could use this time to get the mods to actually care for the community (and enforce the rules).
\nAnd if they demote him (because of it), I’ll ask him to let everyone know in the community (with myself (and hopefully John) backing him). If this causes us to be banned, then we’ll go down together (as friends). I pray this causes a civil war, and forces the mods (and\/or Kibble) to finally act. With three people (instead of one), people should<\/strong><\/em> take notice, and the mods won’t be able to treat it as “starting drama”.
\n—-
\nThe mods clearly need a wakeup call. Stop only doing something if it’s an emergency, and actually interact with the community. Don’t let Kibble be the only one that does it (when he comes on with his Johnny Bravo impression)! Okay, sure. Twitchin sometimes pops up (with Bassmik), but she’s either getting drunk or streaming (or doing both at the same time). That’s not a good thing to do when you’re a moderator. She could at least use her stream, to show video proof of problems.. but no, she just blocks them (as they interrupt her stream). WTF?!
\nI mean.. even Ashi was right (when he told me “this is NOT the way to handle the situation!” (during the aftermath of the plaque incident)). Why. Why are they doing this? And most importantly, why aren’t other people seeing this as a problem? It’s like I’m playing as the devil’s advocate here.
\nThere’s a possibility, that not only do the mods need to wake up, but the community as well. It’s time to stop being fed BS, and see that things aren’t nice here. Though that’s easier said than done. And this made me start to doubt myself that my plans even have a chance of working. Perhaps, I really am playing devil’s advocate. Should I even care for this community anymore? Why am I still here, if it’s “so bad” to me?
\nBecause, leaving doesn’t solve the problem. Action, will. Plus, as before, I have no games that are fully pulling me out of VRChat (unlike Wurm, or even Minecraft, which are my fallback games.. both of them are too uninteresting (at the moment) to come back to).
\n—
\nAll I can hope for, is Creepery to continue working on getting the community on his side.. one new person at a time. He even thwarted a problem on the server, all on his own! And they thanked him too. This erases my doubt. He also got praise on the Discord server to boot. I too would had praised him, but given what happened to me.. I stayed quiet. Instead, I did it in a DM to him.
\n—
\nAlso, switching gears, the guy that pissed me off (which pissed him off)? John talked to him, who DMd me and was pissed that he never blocked me. Strange, as that’s not how it works. But whatever. First, I tried to convince him about supporting the movement to stop the BS (which he threw away, saying “stop forcing things on people”), then it went back to the argument we had. Eventually, I settled the matter (as it was going nowhere), saying I will apologize, if he apologizes first. And we did. I also apologized for his claim that I was “spreading lies” about him hating me.
\n—
\nI actually felt sorry for him, saying I would make it up to him (by him giving me the names of anyone who attempts to ‘defend’ me, so I can talk to them personally).
\nI wish it never turned into that mess, but I did ask him not to barge in on conversations that he has no business being in. He said he was defending the guy (as I was defending Creepery), but understands what I was trying to do. So now we got two defenders, who wish this never happened.<\/p>\n
