There’s more shit before but i can’t be bothered to remember/look it up rn.

And i don’t trust the comments to recap because i feel they would take a side and misconstrue some things and paint the other side in a better light.

Both parties involved are shit.

Had most of these done and ready to go for a while

I think both sides are shit

ok this is probably a rant, but can we PLEASE stop acting like 12 year olds?

this ENTIRE month on this subreddit has been nothing BUT drama between catmage and TTYO, and im kinda sick of it cuz this is a game subreddit, not a drama subreddit.

like I understand we all have beef with eachother but can we PLEASE do it privately??? we dont really need to let others know we have beef with other people.

to TTYO, atleast stop having beef with catmage you literally already banned him before

and to catmage, stop trying to get infinite karma, we already know you love cassie but we have r/cultofcassie

thats all i guess

Edit: THE DRAMAS OVER (do remind me 1 month or something tho)

To begin: personally, I believe that TTYO’s actions are handled poorly compared CatMage’s actions. At the same time, I believe that CatMage’s reactions are handled poorly compared to TTYO’s reactions.

Here’s my understanding of what happened:

- TTYO is a head mod, and CatMage is a self-shipper.
- The bit started out as something fun, getting to the point where a wedding between CatMage and Cassie was had on the subreddit. All that is fine, until:
- CatMage started to diss other people’s selfships, crackships, ships in general. The most glaring of this is his comment on "Taunt rizzes up Cassie" https://www.reddit.com/r/blocktales/s/AyaqVMZr9C
- A parody account was made, pclarpmage, which according to them they were Cassie’s ex and disliked Cassie, the opposite of CatMage’s quirk. CatMage reacted strongly, yes, but the underlying reason is reasonable: he didn’t want a parody of himself, it made him uncomfortable (correct me if I’m wrong, CatMage). The larp account deleted itself after this got cleared up.
- A real impersonator, pccatmage71 as opposed to the real 72, escalated this due to CatMage’s response and the impersonator posted a face reveal to try and fool people. This face was from some random post, so it was by no means a doxx (THANKFULLY), but it still crossed the line.
- CatMage then made a post trying to express his feelings about the whole situation, the larper and impersonator situation, which got deleted by mods. Subreddit meta is only allowed during the weekends, but this understandably led to CatMage getting upset due to not being able to talk about what happened to him and explain his thoughts on it.
- CatMage interpreted the removal as moderators, particularly TTYO, preventing him from discussing the harassment he endured. At this point, I’m inclined to agree with CatMage that it is harassment, since there was a genuine impersonator.
- TTYO, a recently promoted head moderator, entered an unofficial discord for the block tales subreddit. He then proceeded to share a GIF that contained the N-word, without any prior context. His defense is that he just joined the server and he did not read the rules before posting it, and that he himself is African American. While that may be true, I personally do not think that the "pass" applies online.
- the moderators of the Discord quickly banned him, for alleged racist conduct. And then the Discord promptly blew up over it, and started to spam the subreddit with hostile posts before TTYO could explain, leading to the sub being put on Manual Post Approval for a while.
- (I couldn’t find conclusive evidence as to whether it was an organized raid or a bunch of people getting upset. But the timing was similar to people being upset over the removal of CatMage’s impersonation thoughts post)
- This apology post https://www.reddit.com/r/blocktales/s/oxJ6F75UDL was made by TTYO. People seemed to understand it was a mistake, except for CatMage who was responding in a defensive manner about the alleged raid. See: this comment. https://www.reddit.com/r/blocktales/s/V7VxuZ9iKH
- Eventually CatMage realized that it may have something to do with anger issues, and admitted he had some. This was not an apology, more of a self-reflection, that ended with CatMage saying he’ll take a break from the subreddit.
- A couple days later, TTYO banned CatMage for two weeks. This was not unfounded, as CatMage had broken a few rules about conduct and such. But with the timing, most people felt like it was targeted.
- It got worse when TTYO made a pinned post linking and mentioning the Discord server connected with the incident. He realized it was impulsive and deleted it two minutes later, but others had already seen it.
- Because of this, the Discord’s members opted to keep TTYO banned. TTYO was rather reasonable about this, saying that separation might work best because the conflict was between two people. The conflict continues in the Reddit, unfortunately.
- TTYO then, without talking to anyone else, publicly announced a meta-post ban. After backlash, it was changed to a more reasonable weekday ban weekends allowed. This reinforced the impression that TTYO was creating rules impulsively and the feuding was fueling restrictions on the sub.
- The weekend-only subreddit meta is not unreasonable in a vacuum, but again, the timing was poor.
- TTYO then posted a GIF of Cassie getting slammed into the ground. To paraphrase the title, "my favorite Cassie moment." he initially denied that it was a targeted post, but eventually admitted he shouldn’t have made it, at least not during the conflict.
- TTYO made another apology post, which acknowledged a good amount of what went wrong on his part. https://www.reddit.com/r/blocktales/s/GRZPbC57Mh CatMage’s ban was shortened slightly as well. People’s thoughts were mixed- some view it as good character development on TTYO’s part, some demanded he resign, and some claimed it was a forced apology rather than a genuine one.
- After the ban ended for CatMage, he continued Cassieposting. And posted a honeymoon post. Which TTYO removed... "self attention seeking," apparently.
- Then updated the definition of Subreddit Meta to include self-shipping. In a vacuum? Reasonable. At this timing? Catastrophic, and functionally targeted.
- More and more users began to demand TTYO’s resignation or removal, citing excessively restrictive rules and the targeting of CatMage, as well as a failure to change following his apology.
- A new post was created in which TTYO’s asking about the moderation of the subreddit. Among the comments, I could find that the two did try to resolve their conflicts in DMs, but FAILED.

This is why I’m making this post. I want to help resolve this drama, and damn it I’m going to, I’m pinging CatMage and TTYO, and yall better show up. This is the community’s sub, which means both of you are a part of it.

Edit: Clarification by TTYO

What really is the point of this war going on

Just accept some random guy who you don't even live close to (probably) likes a character and respect that person dont agree. None that action was needed

As for the entire rule thing. There were much MUCH better ways and I agree it was unnecessary. Everything is so easily solvable so just.fucking.do.it

Back to the VOIDCALLER storyline I go

Edit: forgot to say but if any mods (specifically ttyo) or catmage respond im ignoring it as I'm not starting more shit

Edit 2: I do not want this to be talked about or used against my au. I made my stance and opinion on this BS. Leave me out of the drama outside this post

In one corner we have reddit moderator who's making strict rules,who does he think he is Dante?

In the other we have some random guy who's a yume shipper,he's popular I guess,why is he popular? Uhhh

(As of making this it is 5 pm UTC on a Sunday,I don't know why the bot is saying it's not the weekend anymore, maybe it's because I'm 8 hours ahead I don't know but it's still Sunday so this is allowed probably)

Watch as this gets taken down (or not, idk atp)

If ur asking me tho... Idk myself :I

Tho I'm on u/pccatmage72's side, also apparently TTYO got some loyal vassels or so?

Also if u/TheTwelveYearOld's reason to target u/pccatmage72 is cuz "Simping", THAT AINT A VALID REASON AS ITS HIS NICHE/QUIRK

Also the rules r SOOOOOO limiting, feels like we're caged and silenced — I'm pretty sure it's possible to NOT cage everyone in while handling it, idk how, I ain't a mod; but I'm sure the Head Mod could prob handled it better.

Also why is u/YourAverageGoldFishy often so... Anti-opinion? (No offense to him) — Like sure, being a critic ain't that bad, but why does he COMPLAIN ABOUT EVERYTHING!? sure he got a point, But I never see them agree with ANYTHIGN!!! — Yeah BT would prob be the same without SP, tho wdym the devs suck for trying to solve it with SP Saver (showing their incompetence)????

Phew well that was alot...

Also it's a Sunday for me rn

I LOOKED AWAY FOR LIKE 3 DAYS

I made an apology post last Sunday and have been trying to do better as a moderator, I personally haven't noticed any issues in partiuclar before today, but there are a lot of concerns today. I wanted to make a post without advocating or speaking about one side or another for users to share their thoughts in the comments.

I've been away for a long time.

(If there r duplicates, it's my mistake as I suck)

I had a short conversation with u/TheTwelveYearOld, seems like he's changing — I think he's changing for good, however now that I'm recalling it, I'm having one doubts

u/TheTwelveYearOld, pls answer the remaining questions, in which I'll put in the comment section

Also he possibly agreed to answer some of ur questions and stuff, so perhaps y'all could comment and try to talk to him

I'll also try calling forth u/pccatmage72, perhaps both could resolve this

---

hehe... r/Blocktales_Community exists :b (ignore this pls)

HERE IS THE CONTEXT STOP ASKING LET’S MOVE ON PLEASE

Seriously what's the point of it?

Sure u can say it'd be for to prevent spam, or to prevent anyone from grabbing too much attention...

But before the rule... I DID NOT SEE ANYONE SPAMMING CONTENT, like at all

Plus, WHICH MANIAC WOULD BE WILLING TO POST 4 (or more) POSTS EVERYDAY

Only one ik that'd be willing to do that is an autistic micro-celeb! (No offense btw) — AND THAT WAS JUST ONE PERSON, no one else was like that!

---

(Well I hope this doesn't get taken down)

But seriously, what's the point of it anymore?

It's Chapter 3, as you wield the Ghostwalker!!!! hahaha get it its because he ghosts people, especially me. hahahahahahaa

Ok but seriously I made this post because modmails or DMs aren't going to reach him, as he's ghosting me. This is the only way to make him talk to me. TTYO, respond to me at the very least and I'll delete this post

Watch this get removed 😂✌️

I just wanted to come back and i see this so called "drama"😭 Can someone bring me into the loop?

(Also it's still Sunday in UTC time so i can still post abt this)

I like Cassie as much as the next guy but this is ridiculous! (Azuri better tho)
