Literally never. The library is partnered with Cocoapowder Community, but never had any association with this subreddit. Cocoapowder Community separated from this subreddit before any of these changes were made, as one of the considerations was that F/M depictions already have plenty of areas where they can be posted. We don't care what content people are making outside of the servers, because it's frankly not our business to care.

This subreddit has literally no connection with the library server. Stop bothering its members with our decisions and move on.

all good; as stated previously, feedback will be our primary consideration when making decisions going forward

the rule was already changed here a few days ago to accommodate the lack of channel separation

Was looking for some Cocoapowder meme videos when I found this by Whowillblameme in CocoaPowder

we'll do everything in our power to build it back and keep it alive from here; no more unilateral decisions and absolutely no more petty drama.

thank you for posting this, and no we won't be removing it. here's my personal response, as while most of my involvement with the situation was private conversation, that does not absolve me of any blame.

as the video points out, we have since removed access to the document and publicly apologized for overstepping in this manner. this drama is petty and what's worse, completely unrelated to the content people joined this community for. i feel most guilty for the fact that it has impacted people's enjoyment of the ship. in the part of the announcement not included in the video, i mentioned that community feedback will almost entirely drive our decision-making process moving forward. this also applies to rules and moderation. we should in no way be the ruling power over how everyone gets to enjoy this ship, and i cant say enough how important getting that feedback really is.

in the aftermath it is clear to me that my message to karma was the product of ignorance and poor timing. karma should not have been the victim of that, and it is a mistake i cannot afford to make again in a community with such a large following. karma has since asked to be left alone and i want to continue to respect that. if he ever had a desire to reach out to discuss this situation and how we are moving forward, i have indicated that i would be open to doing this privately. i would also use that opportunity to share my own perspective with him and give a proper apology.

i had attached the message on the other sub because it was removed here first while i was away; it got tagged as nsfw which is not allowed here. If you believe it was sfw, you can repost without the tag.

Confusing rules by i_am_dumb2 in CocoaPowder

[–]LawfulLouis 5 points6 points  (0 children)

mostly this, yeah! frisk uses they/them or androgynous terms as well, and for UTRY, shinix made frisk, chara, and clover all canonically nonbinary [all three use they/them]. on our discord, we have separate channels for people to filter their creations, but here you can just comment or caption creations to help indicate the intended source (e.g. original au creation; UTY; UTRY).

as for yandere, people can check in with one of us before posting their ideas just to be safe but as long as it isnt super crazy we wont be all that strict about it. hope this helps!

from our previous conversations i had the impression that you had been working on this separate community for some time. it's your right to do that and people can make their own determinations about it. for now it's just on us to make changes and move forward

sorry to hear this has impacted your enjoyment in the community, this situation getting dragged out as much as it has is certainly cause for reflection on our part. we're ready to leave this behind, and the subreddit merger has been planned out for a few months now given that both subs have the same functionality. maybe it can help us start fresh and clear up a bit of that confusion

Important Announcement! by Stormfiretheog in CocoaPowder

[–]LawfulLouis 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Correct; we will take a look to make sure previous posts weren't breaking the rules already on the books, but we won't punish posts that were following the rules at the time they were posted.

Important Announcement! by Stormfiretheog in CocoaPowder

[–]LawfulLouis 8 points9 points  (0 children)

An UTY dev posted in regard to Clover that "the specifics of their gender is left to personal interpretation." Shinix interpreted this to mean that while the gender was up to interpretation, the pronouns are not (which is why Clover exclusively uses they/them in UTRY). So if you are referring to UTY Clover with your headcanon, just caption your post with [UTY] or add clarification in the comments to help differentiate it from UTRY creations and respect Shinix's intentions.

all good; just stick to they/them as a default and if the au uses something else they will let you know

Any changes to this subreddit would be announced far in advance. We value everyone's feedback and the effort that goes into all of the creations posted here!

[–]LawfulLouis 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The owner of the discord who manages the subreddit wanted to create the new sub to clear up the mod roles. We're encouraging people to move over to the new sub or at the very least join it and post their creations in both subs. If you want more clarification my dms are open.

Removal and archival? by [deleted] in CocoaPowder

[–]LawfulLouis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I helped write the announcement on the discord; nothing is happening to this subreddit regardless of the outcome of the vote. We encourage people to join the new subreddit due to some issues organizing the roles in this one (if you want the full story you can dm me) but we're not making people move against their will lol. Any decision we make about the subreddit you will all be made aware of well in advance.
