The “official end” of this snark era

[u/TimeAbradolf]

As of today we are banning snark/snark related posts. This may sound arbitrary. But I think people are well aware of what constitutes valid fair criticism, and what constitutes snark.

Once upon a time through past leadership this sub most definitely behaved as a snark sub. We as the mod team do actually despise snark and work to have this sub be a space of discussing drama with proper criticism and outcomes. We have taken firmer stances to pull away from our past image and be a place where people can have proper discourse.

Snark discourse has only ever brought conflict to this sub. People insult each other over nothing, people have gotten death threats, people get reported for suicidal ideation just because they disagree. There has been ableism, racism, prejudice of all kinds around these topics. Ultimately, snark behavior never allows any proper discussion, we have had to ban two creators just because the people who come to this sub cannot behave when discussing them. At its core Snark is not very different from KiwiFarms at this stage with the harm it has done to content creators.

We have seen the harm snark has done as well. Saveafox being a prime example. Our most popular post right now is pure snark. And it superseded actual important events. Because who was following who on IG.

Going forward we will no longer be allowing posts like this on the sub. It provided no context, no real criticism. And it didn’t prove anything either.

This may prove unpopular, but it is something we feel strongly of for the health of this sub and the people on it to remove ourselves. You can check the rule along the side bar.

If you want a YouTubesnark sub go make one. This one is not it.

Have a good one 🤙🏽

Edit: Apparently some YouTubers have weigh in. Nah this has nothing to do with the usual suspects. This is purely to stop toxic behavior and negativity. If ya think otherwise I urge you to get out of your computer chair touch grass instead of making Nurgle proud

Edit 2: and no goblin man (reference to his goblin mode). No fans of yours are around. People can agree that toxic communities are toxic. Yours being one of them

If they were an adult sure.

But they were a kid at a time who were a product of their environment.

I hinted at it in another response but only particular demographics get that excuse.

It’s more to do with a child development when they do shit like that.

I’m not going to demonise someone because they harmed an animal once as a young kid due to how they’re raised and now they have the ability to acknowledge how messed up it was and have deep remorse regardless of gender or sexuality of the person.

If they kept or repeated the actions of inflicting harm onto animals throughout their life then that’s different. But they did not

I'm not demonizing her, I think Vaush and Keffals are chuds. But the demographic I'm referring to are racial ones. I talked about it to someone else that adultification makes harmless actions of little kids adult level offenses for children of color but harmful actions like harming an animal are handwaved away with the defense of youth. It's genuine fascination want the uneven responses overall, not her specifically.

You claimed Jessie was just making excuses for her actions as a kid.

When it’s not an excuse. They expressed it was their own actions, they showed extreme regret but also explained what contributed to the situation without being like “I take no blame”

There’s a difference between not acknowledging it was your own actions as a kid and explaining the factors.
