Ok so this is a topic I do hold dear to me since im a person who is strongly against bullying. But from time to time on Feral heart or just in general where you go, people get bullied...why is this? So Im making this to rant to all you young people who are in middle school or anything like that in general. Basic topic do pretain to actual events that have happned when I sometimes play FH. Now have you ever heard something like this from someone:
"No you cant be that species. I clearly made and established that and you are in violation to make it again"
"Your character looks to much like me, you need to change it NOW"
"I made this species all by myself and I demand you to change it and get ride of the species now"
Typical overdramatic comments, but heres when it turns to personal to me. When someone says something like this:
"If you dont change your character now then I will tell a staff member and they will deal with you. I know them and they will listen to me cause im a good friend of theres."
...really...its like a child going to tell there mom that they did this and that. This rant isnt geared twords anyone in particular. But ive spend a great deal of time on FH to see this happen to so many people. To me this is a sign of bullying and something that FH isnt about. Feral Heart is about making floofy friends, and Rping with species and or animals. Let me get this out there for everyone to hear.
Please dont use staff members as a way to scare someone to do something for you when the thing you are wanting is really meaningless." Staff are here to help others and keep everything in order, not as a tool for your personal reason to scare people into changeing your features or species discription. I do however am strongly against actually copying someone to the very detail. Like if i were to go around and impersonate one of my good friends without them knowing, then thats copying. There is a fine line between copying, and looking slightly similar. Its like saying Burger King copied McDonalds cause they sell the same thing and have the same thing, but are clearly not. Also, take this into consideration when i also say this too.
"Literily ever kind of species has already been created and some arnt even that new. Such as Werewolves, Warrior cats, Demons, Ghost, more dead thing, Lion pride with mom and dad dead or left, Guardians,Robot, Lava you know the rest. Actually some of my personal characters i based off of old foketale Japanese beliefs. There is nothing wrong with geting insperation from another to make something for yourself.
So for all you new floofs out there, here are some tips for you in times like these
1) Talk it out in a mature way
Just chating it out to see if you can compromise is always good.
2) Block them
If its just geting to out of hand for you then blocking them is the tool for you. The block tool was made for a reason. to block the people that are giving you trouble. Use this and you wont see em ever again.
3) Tell a staff/screenies
Staff are there for you and to make sure you have a good time during gameplay. If you are ever being bullied its best you bring it up to a staff member so they might help you out. But only use this when its geting way way out of hand. Remember you still got that block tool
I am always on the quiet side when drama does start, but when i do see bullying i do stand up. I mean i lost the ability to use my right arm for 5 years cause of bullying. But as a reminder for all you new people out there. Let your imagination flow and make any species you want. So i say go make a ghost species, or demon species, or unicorn species., etc. And rememeber to just be nice about it when you end up finding someone who slightly has similar traits as you. Hey you dont see me going all loco when i see a jaguar that has the same pelt as me, or every single skull character out there as well. Baku has a skull face and if i do come across someone who happens to have a skull face i dont go on a rampage. on a endnote just have fun and enjoy the game as it is.
