#ive made the mistake of thinking about the public reaction to buildmart once again#and the amount of bullshit noxcrew and scott go through for the fuckin existence of that game#like yeah there will always be people who dont enjoy it. there is no thing on this earth that everyone loves#but the environment around that game would get a Lot less toxic if Some Streamers would stop shouting to the heavens#and to their thousands of viewers about how its a garbage game and should be removed.#when you have that many viewers your own behavior does set a precedent for what is and isnt okay in the fandom.#its why saying 'i dont condone harassing' is useless if you single out antis and put them in a thousand-person spotlight#and i can think of two times off the top of my head that Certain Streamers have gotten their coworkers sent death threats#because of calling them cheaters or whatever while live#'you cant blame them for the fanbase' but i can blame them for encouraging that behavior with their actions#there will always be toxic people in fandoms and there is almost always some low level toxicity spread throughout#but there are ways as a cc you can mitigate that toxicity Or make it worse based on your own conduct#and Some Streamers consistently choose to make things worse#and they're either too incompetent to realize it or they know damn well they're doing it and just don't care (but will never admit it)#critical#cc critical#negative#discourse#and its wild because they do That as professionals but they're all lovely people off camera so its like.#youre clearly not a total piece of shit or everyone in the servers youre in would hate your guts#in their personal lives and to their Friends theyre lovely but as adult professionals with large audiences jesus christ#and because people in the audience know theyre cool theyre more likely to vouch for and defend their Not Good behavior and its uuuuugh
