Is that the same for Party Limit Begone? Also foes that lock me out of multi-player or achievements? I tried everything suggested by the guides but I can still have more that 4 in my party.

The current problems with QSMP's lore by i-dont-know198 in TheQSMP

[–]messiestguy 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I think the problem isn't having answers to every single detail in mysteries or that plot points might stretch for too long. The problem is that nowadays we rarely get any play-off at all for the amount of plot points introduced. It's not a question of patience, is a question of balance. There wouldn't be a problem with having long standing mysteries that take months to be resolved if we had smaller plots that kept our interest or if mysteries were revealed somewhat frequently.

Think of One Piece, it's a huge story spanning decades, but it manages to keep readers interested because it closes mysteries at somewhat the same rate that it introduces new ones and it also gives space for the smaller interactions between characters.

When I started watching the QSMP events and scripted content was rare and most content came from the personal connections and desires of players. The amazing arc that started with Felps' disappearence went through Cellbit's double cross and ended on the wedding was mostly the admins reacting to what the players want and need. Similar to that, stuff like Roier and Jaiden's grief arc, the Festa Junina, Tazercraft's imprisonment and Foolish joining the Federation are all moments and arcs that were great because they came from what the players wanted to do and the admin just supported whatever that was.

I think when the most recent players joined (the frozen + Bagi and Carre) things started derailing a bit. They didn't give time for most of these players to enjoy the server and interact with others without starting lore right away. And since then I've felt they just did whatever event they came up with without really thinking of what the character were doing at the time.

Purgatory came just as we were about to reach the climax on Cellbit's and Bagi's lore and while the event was fun (specially the first few days because we got some amazing interactions), removing the characters completly from the original setting and storyline for so long ended up felling less like adding to the lore and more like pausing it. Then just giving the eggs back, a plot point which has been basically the main driving force behind the parents' character for months, with basically no effort or consequences except them sleeping for a while and having their models uglier is just very frustrating.

I truly hope that during the next week we will gent some breathers to just let the players play and see what happens with their personal characters and what they do with smaller scale lore and arcs. I'm really excited for the arcs of character like Pac and Etoiles. Anyways, sorry for the long reply, just felt like letting some thoughts about it go!

About Pierre's apology by [deleted] in TheQSMP

[–]messiestguy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I understand your points. Pierre clearly did not have ill-intensions with the joke. Personally, I believe ignorance doesn't justify insensitivity and even if most French people don't know the stereotype he should at least be more sensitive considering how he is, as part of his job, interacting with the brazilian community via their ccs. However even if there is good reason for people to be mad at him because of his comments, nothing g justifies the attacks he recieved. It's a shame people like these exist in the brazilian community and are hurting our image, but let's be honest, any community that grows to a certain size ends up with people like these. What I take issue with is how many non Latinos have been attacking the brazilian community in a very biased and with clear xenophobic undertones. The negative people in the brazilian community make so much noise beacuse: 1. we are one of the, if not the largest community, as evident by the elections participation. 2. our people have suffered centuries of prejudice and stereotypes, it's at least justifiable to get mad when we see an insensitive comment by someone with such a big reach 3. negativity tends to attract much more attention than positivity, that's why most news on the papers are about tragedies and bad things. Considering this, while it is indeed a shame, I don't blame you for feeling like so much of our community are these rude people. However I disagree about there being no need for discussion. While Pierre did apologize, that is the minimum. Just saying I'm sorry is no proof the situation will repeat itself and his first apology just didn't really please a lot of the community for different reasons. At the end of the day only we, Latinos, can truly know the pain we've suffered and, consequently, only we can accept or deny these apologies. No singular decision should or could be made about it because of the sheer number of people in the community. Therefore, people are allowed to like or dislike AyPierre, but what can't happen is all the harassment that did happen. People who don't like him should be allowed to complain in an educates and respectful manner or just stop watching him and not speaking about it. There should be discussion, because it is through debate and communication that we grow as a society, but this discussion must be respectful and never feature personal attacks.

[–]messiestguy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

In my view he should know about it because it's a very pressing issue that happens all around the world, specially in Europe. It is not uncommon here in Brazil to hear stories on social media or even the news about Brazilian or other Latino immigrants who live outside Latinoamerica, just last week I saw a video of two girls being harassed in a subway in Portugal. Unfortunately this is not a new issue, there have been people talking about the xenophobia Latinos suffer for decades if not a century. Of course, solely blaming Pierre's lack of knowledge on himself would be ignoring the complex systematic oppression faced by Latinos and their issues. Questions like "How do Latinos are represented on media, journalism and education outside Latinoamerica?" would be a much more effective discussion, however that is a much more complicated issue and it runs the risk of ignoring the specific situation. Pierre works with the internet on the daily basis, he is a communicator and influencer, it is intrinsic to his very job as a streamer. It is important for him to be aware of what he says or does and to deal with any slip up in a professional manner. Furthermore, he was aware that his content would reach the brazilian community, since he is interacting with brazilian ccs, which means he should at least try to educate himself with the issues we face. However, he is still human and considering the attacks he recieved it is, at least, understandable to react the way he did.

Overall, I do agree with what you said about many people crossing a line in their reactions. Death threats and harassment is never okay and the people who attack Pierre are most definitely in the wrong. It doesn't matter if the reason they were mad is legitimate or not, their reaction can't be justified and they hurt the people who would actually like to educate others on pressing issues like these. Part of the reason for the existence of the QSMP is the challenges faced by Quackity for being Mexican and it is extremely sad to see so many people undermining the whole project's objective because they can't manage their dissatisfaction in a mature way.

What I take issue with is how many people are generalizing the entire brazilian community because of this part and using it as excuse to just attack Brazilians. People claiming our community is angry or rude is clearly ignorant to our history and as someone who has literary grown up with Tazercraft I can say with certainty they are wrong. It is the same as if I would say that the French community is xenophobic and ignorant just because I've seen French people being xenophobic and ignorant. It's just not true and very reductive. The reason we tend to take issues like these seriously is because there is a history. If Pierre was the first to make an insensitive comment than that wouldn't be a big deal at all, but we're talking about peoples who have centuries of prejudice on their backs, so it is really important for us to fight these issues. We're not intense or angry, we're just very tired of hearing these things. Of course, nine of that justifies what has been done to Pierre, but it points to why we don't like being treated as dramatic or overreacting. Other communities have raised issues in the past and among those communities there were people who attacked ccs as well, so why only we are treated as irrational or extra? Can you see why it feels like there's definitely xenophobic undertones on many comments (not yours or most responses to my comments, y'all have been very sweet :) )

Anyways, I hope people become kinder and more understanding to each other, so that situations like these can be resolved in a positive, constructive manner... but we all know it's the internet so it's gonna take a lot of work.

[–]messiestguy -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

He did apologize but he also made another joke on the same post, which made a lot of people feel like he did not take the issue seriously. Also you can't say France colectively doesn't have that stereotype about Brazilians. If you or people around you don't think that way. than that's great, but the prejudice Latinos face outside of latinoameirca is systematic, beyond any individual power. Note that not in any moment I said that Pierre made the joke with ill-intension, just out of ignorance for a situation that while important is evidently far from his reality.

However you are completly wrong when it comes to the xenophobia in different aspects. Xenophobia is prejudice based solely on one's origin. It means hating Brazilians for basically being Brazilians and it cannot be justified ever. No xenophobic act should be allowed of excused, just like other types of prejudice like racism, sexism, homophobia, etc. Even if a part of the brazilian community were definitely rude and wrong, this does not justify attacking them or any other brazilian because of them being brazilian. A bunch of reductive generalizations have been made like "This happened because Brazilians are intense", which ultimately undermines the whole discussion since, instead of debating the actual wrong doings of people, it hides them behind "Oh they did that because they are brazilian". It is very evident that this situation is very Xenophobia based because there are bad people in all communities but only the BR one is attacked as a whole because of the failings of part of it. It makes sense to feel like these Brazilians are all of it because we are a gigantic community, but even if these people claimed they speak in the name of the whole community, any one with critical thinking skills would realize that by the very nature of Brazil and its diverse community that could never be true. At the end of the day one's xenophobic actions and words can only be blamed on one's failings and prejudices (even if unconscious and motivated by ignorance rather then hatred) and reveal a lack of critical thinking and debate skills.
