I Am Surprised That There Is So Much Tsp:ud Stuff Going On On Valentines Day, The Fandom Is Coming Back

This post right here>

Alright, I have to admit: it isn't just the burn out that's stopping me from drawing TSP content.

A little rant(?) ahead.

(TL;DR at the very end)

Another big factor as to why I haven't been active is because of a small (vocal) minority of the fandom. I know there's only a tiny percentage of it, but I think it needs to be said regaedless.

I, admittedly, am both disappointed and disheartened by some people attempting to gatekeep the TSP community simply because the people entering it do not adhere to/have the same ideologies or insights about the game and its characters.

Most of those people criticize/"bash" the guys who found TSP through Clock 0ut/Yellow Zone/Blank Decay (at least that's what I've seen). While I understand the reasoning why, it's still no excuse to push them away. It's their entry point into the fandom; that's how they're introduced to the game. Just because that series isn't faithful to the canon doesn't mean you should push people that found TSP through Clock 0ut away. They will come to learn about the game and lore should they want to.

Another thing: Not everyone will be invested in TSP the same way as you do. Sometimes, people just like seeing more/contributing content without being heavily invested in lore. Other times, people want to make deep-dives of the lore and characters. Sometimes, they're just there because they personally like the game and nothing else. It's unfair to block off anyone that doesn't adhere to you and your like-minded peers' sensibilities.

You wanted more people to join the fandom? You want more people to talk about the game and its characters? Then stop pushing new people aside because your vision and understanding of the media don't align with theirs. Just talk to them about the game the way you would with others.

TL;DR: I personally don't like the fact that a vocal minority being exclusionists/gatekeepers because new people "don't understand the game like they do". Let people enjoy the fandom and the game at their own pace and don't exclude them from the fandom.

Wondering how long they worked on this master piece <3
