  3. You do have supporters and as such I wish you would reconsider. If not you will be missed.
  4. Yeah as much as I skim over these posts this line stood out the most for me. I don't build "for" EMC, I build on EMC, cause I like building. I build for no one but myself in the aspect that I like seeing things I made come to life on a survival server. Sure the fact that others are able to see what I build is awesome, but it isn't the driving point behind my building.

    The way that she thinks that her builds are a "gift" for the community is absurd and a tad self centered, if you aren't playing the game for yourself then you aren't having fun and isn't that what a game is?

    As dumb and simple minded as this seems, you can mute players on every platform you've complained about. If they're messing with your experience playing the game, just mute and move on, its the adult thing to do.
  5. Sad, Seems only a few who posted are supportive. Others laugh at it, or just dont take it serious.

    I Love to build, but I try to make my builds for others to get inspired by. I dont think its a gift.... But why should I put my time and effort into something if people are not nice to the one doing it?

    As for the ignore... Does not help too much when its many people and ingame, on forums, and on discord...

    Also I restricted my profile and closed a few things. I even left the emc discord.

    The comments of this thread makes me not want to come back at all...
  6. I'm sad to see you leaving/becoming inactive, but always remember I will always be here to support you ^^
    I wish you the best of luck wherever you spend your time now and hope you have fun!
    I completely understand you with the community being a little dis-encouraging, I have had to leave the Discord and other things due to people being rude to me.

  7. Enough. You know why it's not being taken seriously.
  8. So, many of the people being rude to you just find a way around it every attempt you make to block them? That's even worse than the fact that they'd bully you to begin with, and clearly none of those people are friendly, much less supportive or peaceful. If I were you I would just ignore them, and I've /ignored the ones I know about in-game. :(

    I love to build too, and I would probably continue to do so, even if 80-90% of the people around me bullied me for being gay, liberal, or autistic. But I can still understand that someone being treated that harshly by so many people would want to leave.

  10. I never said that anyone was. I just mean that if it was happening, it still wouldn't be enough to stop me from doing what I enjoy when I could.

  11. Gotta say... i seem to recall something somewhere about "Play your way... and that we are a Friendly Community. "

    After reading some comments here some of you maybe should take a step back and think about that a little before posting. Some of these replies certainly dont seem friendly.

    As the old adage says... if you cant say something nice, then Dont say anything at all.
  12. I'm sorry this is happening to you...we've met before in game and talked on the forums and you are a really great person! Even though we don't see each other around in game much I hope all goes well with you and if you ever need anything in game (if things change and you become more active) or just want to talk feel free to message me :)
  13. i agree. if u see something you personally dont agree with just dont say anything, turn around, forget about. your negativity is extremely pointless.

    even though i think finch is going a little extreme in her post, i read through some of her threads and i understand what she means. a lot of you are really immature and unfriendly. if you read a post and immediately feel the need to write a post about why its wrong, why you disagree, why post shouldnt exist, just stop and check yourself. if its not hurting anyone leave it alone. geez

  14. I fully agree with you both. I made a thread recently that was intended to be a reminder that bullying is unacceptable, even and especially towards minorities, but it got a lot of hateful comments too so it was shut down by Senior Staff. I am very upset due to the rude behavior recently.
  15. Finch, I think you have the best intentions at heart but unfortunately, you've gone about it in the wrong way. You take criticism straight to heart when it's never intended that way and overreact to statements that really don't warrant that kind of response. I think without realizing it also, you can come across as quite rude. I know everyone has their flaws, but how do you expect to improve yourself as a human being when you won't accept any feedback or criticism? Don't be offended when someone says you've done something wrong or overreacted, take it as feedback to improve yourself.

    My problem here is that you you seek public approval for your departure when you know from prior experience that it's not going to happen, and then make a big deal out of it when people aren't supportive. You're basically posting the equivalent of a billboard advertisement of your departure when it doesn't need to be that way. Not to mention that the reasons for your departure are highly controversial. You could have just quietly said goodbye to your friends and left to avoid this, but instead, you create multiple threads about it which just stirs up more trouble. Do you honestly expect that everyone's going to agree with your opinions? Of course not. Not everyone's an "Ally" of the LGBTQ community and so what? What impact does that have on your life? It's okay to advertise the LGBTQ community, and put the word out there that it's there, but you keep shoving it into peoples faces that they have to be LGBTQ+ "ally's" and you get offended when they aren't. That's just reality there. Not everyone's going to agree with your opinions and that's okay. But you can't put your opinions forward like they are truth. Because from the way I've interpreted it, because I'm not an "ally" I'm a horrible person.

    You've also got to keep in mind that EMC is a family friendly server. There are kids on here and the last thing they should be worrying about is their sexuality or gender. And I'm sorry to say Finch, but I don't think anyone really cares if you, or anyone else, is gay, transgender, genderfuid or whatever it is that people identify with. It's gotten to a point in society where if you're gay or transgender majority of people don't really care. But what they do care about is people shoving it in their faces that they have to support something that they don't. Different opinions is what makes us unique, don't try to suppress that and at least try to listen, understand and acknowledge everyone's opinions without taking it personally. We're all on this server to play this game and have a fun time interacting with each other, not to argue.

    What I'm trying to say here is that you need to toughen up a bit here because this is the real world, and people have opinions; and some of the time, guess what, you're not going to like them. As long as you know who you are then nothing else should stop and/or bother you. And who cares if people are supportive or not? You should do you, and that's what matters.

    I mean nothing I say to offend you, and hope that you wont take what I've said in a negative way but rather something you can grow and learn from. I wish you the best of luck Finch, but please just let this go and leave quietly if that's what you choose to do.
  16. She dug her own hole by constantly saying she'll leave, throwing about negative claims about the entire community, presenting no evidence, when asked for evidence saying she has '45GB of .txt files on all of this' but 'can't be bothered looking for anything', then proceeding to claim she doesn't have to prove anything, and labelling anyone who does anything even slightly negative toward her (real or perceived) as transphobic or homophobic. And then proceeding to attempt to garner sympathy when she gets called out (see: one of the above replies to this thread made by Finch). This whole thing just sounds like crying for attention. They're not friendly because they shouldn't be; they're honest.
    No, because then people wouldn't know what they're doing wrong.

    I hate that saying with a passion.
  17. What you are looking for is for everyone to stop what they are doing and be like "please don't leave us we love you ." What you fail to realize is that the world doesn't revolve around you. Nor does it revolve around the LGBTQ+ community. So to ask a diverse group of people from many walks of life and many countries and beliefs to all be allys or friends of or whatever it is may be one of the most ignorant things ever.

    People dont care. The vast majority of the people who play EMC couldnt care less what you are. To them you are an name on a screen or a character in a game.

    I have known you a long time. You are one of the first people I met on emc. You are probably the first tran person I have ever spoken to, You are also the reason people dont like you. Not cause you are lgbtq+ but because you are who you are. Take a step back and look at your actions. Look at your posts. Look at your giveaway. People play games to get away from the world. To get away from the stress. You shove LGBQ+ down everyones throat. I could care less what you do when you are not in front of a monitor but when you are rude and pushy it makes it hard to take you as anything but a spoiled girl who wants the whole world to worship at your feet because you have done something that you think is hard.

    I hope one day you return. I also hope one day you are just a chill girl and not all the baggage you bring, I have called you friend, and hope to call you that again,

    Effin,
  18. agree

  19. She's not trying to get everyone to "worship" her. But she does actually get bullied for being herself and that's unacceptable. However, I do believe that it would be better to just report the hatred she gets, block the bullies, and focus on the people who actually support her.
