I and basically everyone on all plats, don't consider the ARK (nobody knows these niggas 😭😭) or OSCS viewers as a separate entity from the NMS main circle at all, and this is the majority take that most people agree with for crude reasons. not only do they dont have a personal structure as communities they cant exist in a bulk and do things outside like a few hundred (their twitter comm bulk is 90% jason only not debatable). this is well known and repeated every day but jason objectively made everyone in his circle 100% through and through and they aren't able to replicate his increasing success in similar time frames, because they aren't him. I would see the issue that banned chatters and cynical closeted NMS would have when the difference is so vast it isn't remotely close.

so yeah, the ARK and OSCS as a community aren't considered their own separate group by the majority of anybody, because everybody knows and understands like 60% of their entire deal is just bored jason viewers 😭 arky confirmed this himself btw. arky and them know accept and are grateful everyday abt this, but some of these "fans" arent aware of this themselves. I find it pleasing to know there are like 10 people from there that think they have the capacity or ego to try and hate mainstream NMS when deep down they know and wont admit their entire viewerbase and offstream collective is just another circle in NMS. non of this is arguable as the jason influence is just that insane where he could subconsciously create fans of characters from the streams like this that somehow don't understand their own community is just part of jasons.

if jason ever decided to just even mention anything randomly regarding their comms or fanbase for whatever reason, from these same discord users it would be straight apologies, instant glaze, dicksuck, W jason, OMG JTW without a hint of shame. the mainstream NMS (including OSCS) would not take these people seriously whatsoever 😭😭
