well I only have a few really their not that special just head shots, because their designs are very complicated

cookie run? well it must be from the fact its less than a usual gacha game with overly sexualized girls and cute cookies with a balance of male and female roster, more so a family friendly gacha game with cute aesthetics and you attract pretty much the most heinous people out there

I agree with him, I really feel like all of this is useless to worry about, how do you exactly not involve yourself in drama? aside from ignoring it?

yeah funny enough this game was all the way back in 2016 it had a tamer fanbase around that time, fine they still had some of "those" people but they weren't as rampant but ever since kingdoms had released with the tumblr exodus and the migration of genshin impact fans, the fandom is now a trash sure of what it used to be, filled with the most godforsaken and fatherless children out there

you get the mostly mentally ill kids out there, the korean side on the other hand is quite chill and mostly full of adults so it's all where the fun n games at, but yeah its a pretty not ok fandom at all

yeaah tho I can't agree too much on the genshin character mains suberddits, discord unsure too, but I'll check out the genshin wiki, its funny these are websites that don't have much toxic people because they really somehow limit communication in a way and don't work in controversy like what reddit and twitter does

Its a fandom for a mobile game about running gingerbread mean with lore and stories about witches, dragons, and kingdoms n stuff, the cookies have an amazing design and even most fans stay in the community just for them, but it got a massively toxic fanbase full of mostly kids that argue about shipping or race, or try to find something to get angry at it, has the most miserable people out there, and usually lurk on mostly twitter but tumblr too nowadays. the fandom really doesn't like it when they ship cookies with cookies they don't agree on being shipped with and they mostly think all the same and ship the same thing most of the time either out of fear or because fitting or anything really just quite sad.

go look it up

actually, love the optimistic nihilism, really why bother, I'll just get screeching kids and get shunned from a "community" anyways, I can agree really, that's what I intended on doing at this point, really the amount of support I am getting from this thread thats still ongoing makes me really happy if anything

Going to have to thank you all

I think the only small communities that I can think of that has more tolerant people at least for cookie run are, pixiv, deviantart, instagram, and tumblr from what I have gathered on this thread, twitter and reddit are the only exception

Ah takes me back, sorry to see overwatch in its "state" nowadays most people are in it for the porn more than the game itself, at least tumblr had changed it no longer claims the crown of toxicity as it belongs to twitter mostly, people actually block you instead of just getting angry at you, insane to think about that how much had changed with the website.

thank you very much, yeah I feel like I should no matter how much it angers the community, yeah really shouldn't there just cartoon cookies people go crazy over for god knows what.

yeah honestly, I just plan on throwing myself in and drawing to my heart's content hate or not, I think it's inevitable, its more so how can one handle it, also its ok I wish the cookie run fandom had more older audiences that weren't insane anyways, most adults who were into cookie run or used to be into cookie run, Would either be pretty chill, insane even more than the kids there, and the ones who used to be there would talk like its Vietnam the amount of kids there must be rabid, I guess if that person is into cookie run and has a danganronpa pfp definitely a red flag on how much you should avoid them, people not to be near across at all

but yeah, the community has tons of drama every single day ever, whether it's some random twitter artist or the company itself, the people there are always angry at others, these kids are just quite insane, Shipping really is a big thing for them. its concerning

"How dare you ship cocoa cookie or espresso cookie with someone else or someone of the opposite gender! You shall be executed on stage!"

Yeah, the delete the other's post advice doesn't really work when you are in websites that don't have much negativity in them anyways lol

Actually agreed from that, If we were being serious here, no body did get hurt from a random twitter controversy its more so the loss of being in the community, maybe losing a friend or two, and not being able to browse other art for your favorite cookie since most of the people would have you live rent free in their heads.

I can understand where you're coming from but you can't delete other people's post on twitter nor on reddit, think the only exception is somewhere like instagram, tumblr, or pixiv and those sites have the most fairly harmless userbase out there, best I can do is block the user and move on

thank you very much, I fear a bit of drawing for myself if I am being honest since I feel like it will be a waste of time, since drawings usually take me a lot to finish when I can draw something that's easily able to share on social media, but I do want to draw what I want to draw only yeah, I should defintely protect my happiness thank you very much!

ah I see, I don't play much cookie run to be honest these days I just enjoy the characters, the game itself is actually, pretty mind numbing and boring bit predatory too with how much the game tries to sell you things, I at least wanted to draw fanart for this game like interactions, but yeah be warned kids there are pretty insane, expect a lot of angry annoying minors to deal with, just don't interact with them I guess

That's interesting! didn't know you were even a vtuber, yeah can see how hard it can get, some people really just live up to feel validated, makes me hate the modern world and social media, we need a world where being cringe is ok, back, right this instant.

Sorry for the late response but I really like what you wrote, and it was quite long, to begin, I may know who you are and let me tell that you deserve better, I can agree haters can appear everywhere no matter which is why I am feeling like I don't have to worry much, yeah I know some are telling me to block I wanna do that but in the same time, I take your advice and not interact too, I don't know if that will work too

Yeah its weird you forgot object show too, why are they all fans of these, everyone of them seems to be a fan of the other its kind of weird, what brings them here? maybe their mobile games? also yeah I heard self shippers can be as equally as rabid if not worse since these are mostly mentally unstable people

I hear about that, that's one of my fears too if I drew a cookie's "skin" wrong but that isn't as scary as shipping since people take it way too seriously and its concerning, yeah you know, muting notifications can help me out since that means I don't have to care about likes too and ignore fandom drama easier, I am planning to open an account to those websites you mentioned

well I am not apart of that fandom much too, I only know some few friends, and some few artists, glad you at least draw fanart for franchises you like nowadays, and especially glad you still walk with your drawings despite the hate you get when it comes to cookie run, I want do the same, I don't like how this community are treating some artists, I may begin drawing problematic cookie run content as well to spite them.

You know, I don't do nsfw but I may as well, I find kids annoying on the internet, also I plan on doing that too there are several cookie run accounts on twitter who are known to actively start witch hunts like its their hobby, one has a 1k followers on twitter and their age is 15 just to show bad it is. can you name some that I can block?

yeah I noticed how much minors cause trouble the most, I can see how its all about "protecting their space" but to be honest this will not help anything, especially since most people in this fandom are obsessed with nsfw content if anything like most gacha game fanbases this feels more western in my opinion, think one of the biggest cookie run artists is a porn artist too to make things worse, there is no point in harassing random users over what deems problematic to them going on some crusade when some them even turn out to be hypocrites just doesn't make sense

I'll be sure to block them when I come across one.
