Okay, I have some more free time for a while.
Basically for a history recap, I was a fan of Enter as a kid, or early teen. I liked cartoons, felt animation didn't get enough credit, saw a guy talking about them, and liked it. I was a very easy to amuze child. More recently my interest had been waning in cartoon reviewers in general. I began noticing how many of them aren't that good, and with Enter I pretty much stopped around last year or so. Nick-o-rama was what made me give up entirely. Seriously, you can't review more than 2 episodes of a single cartoon?
About Growing Around, I always thought it was a weird premise for a show. I thought the initial characters looked fine, but hadn't heard much from that until the Indiegogo. I knew it was going to fail, but I decided to be open and check out things about it. The scripts were very rough with typos and an unfriendly reading format, but I thought they could still be salvaged. I felt just making the kids normal kids and having the adults be adults would make the universe less creepy while keeping the characters the same, but Enter doesn't think the same.
Upon my return to his server I decided I'd just hang out there. I knew from a skim of his most recent videos, reading a bit of this thread (thanks for linking it in the video Enter) and the Twitter drama that he was not mentally in a good place. I wanted to see what was going on, and since his server blocked non-citizens from seeing the actual stuff, I became one again. I wasn't going to make any more joke foot fetish stuff (I honestly didn't want to draw a 7-year-old cartoon girl at first, but she was the main character, so I thought it'd get a reaction), I was just there for the ride. In reality, I should consider myself lucky since Enter answered my questions. I knew as early as the first Growing Around streams that he often ignored questions with that Ummm... stuff.
About 4 days later, I'm blocked out of nowhere. I was just giving Enter questions, and he was answering them. Everything seemed okay, but then my laptop flashed and I was quicked to the direct message menu on Dicsord. At first, I thought it was an internet problem, but then I noticed the other apps on my laptop working fine. Once I saw the icon gone I knew what happened. I had no idea that it was Ava though. I didn't even know she was looking at that channel. She hadn't said anything. I thought it was MintKitten, since she's so painfully sensitive.
Immediately after is when I had that conversation with PlazmaCube. He was just an unlikeable person. At first I thought he would be a reasonable opposite to MintKitten, but he was almost as bad. He didn't have a freak out, but he talked down to me like I was a child. I guess that's a trait he developed from Enter, who does that all the time in his videos.
All but like two of the mods come off as heavy SJWs to me, and the annoying type who are sensitive to every little thing. I don't know why Enter lets these people run his Growing Around server. MintKitten threatened things like suicide over us having a conversation about headcanons. Headcanons. That thing that literally affects nobody else but yourself. And PlazmaCube just defended her to the end. I wasn't angry when the ban happened, I was just confused. I felt like I had done nothing wrong. Could I have called Riley a they? I guess, but when did it become a crime to call a character who doesn't even exist what they look like.
I tried to direct message Ava for further reasoning on her banning me. After all, better to hear straight from the horse's mouth. She either has me blocked or can't receive direct messages unless you're friends with her. The same goes for MintKitten. The same might go for Plazma, but he sent me a friend request, so I don't know.
It's very short, but this is what Ava said to me during the fetish incident:
If Enter's reading this, my man, you need a better staff. All of you are so sensitive to things. You're sensitive to masks, Ava is sensitive to everything involving gender and race, and MintKitten is a polite comment away from taking her life. You're never going to make any progress if you're complaining every moment.
