A Quick Update · 11:38pm Jul 14th, 2014
So, I uploaded Fashion Vigilante on my own account. Read it here if you'd like.
Give it the proper loving TgFt nearly stole from me.
Also, I've been asked by the mods to take down my RealityCheck blog. I know a lot of other people who made a blog about it have made apology blogs, and I'm here to say this now:
I do not regret any of the things said there, nor do I apologize for any distress RealityCheck or people who enjoy him or his writing may have suffered from that. I meant every last word I typed, and I have saved that bitching monologue parody I wrote up. If you'd like a link, send me a PM, although I don't really expect anyone to actually want it.
Oh yeah, don't harass RealityCheck anymore. Harassin's bad, mmkay?
And now an hour of Hugh Laurie singing:
I only saw one person make one... and why did the mods want you to take it down?
I have a bad case of obsessive compulsion so I will continue to read the story I started on, however, I won't comment. I won't bump his content further
I'm giving your story plenty of love. It was great, and I'm sorry it was almost stolen from you.
I also didn't know about the RealityCheck thing, so I can't comment on that, so I'll just leave it there. I hope you're doing well.
Edit: Oh, now I see the reasoning behind your deleted blog post. Now everything makes sense.
More like TFgt amirite?
2285487 guess it qualified as an attack blog
2285498 Not really. It was... justifiably defending a percentage of society from an obnoxious jerk that deserved it. They shouldn't have made you take it down.
2285506 Well, they're trying to clean up the mess caused by him, including reactions
shame though, i had upside 600 views on that thing
You should ask for 17K from your followers and tell them that if you don't get the money you'll be forced off of Fimfic. Maybe invest that money in ball pits, I hear those things are cash money.
Here's what I'm getting out of this whole RC debacle.
OK:
User X (with lots of followers): [Bad Opinions From The Wrong Century (that are still shared by a disturbingly high number of bigots)]
Not OK:
User Y: *Points and laughs at User X for having Bad Opinions From The Wrong Century*
Holy shit House has an album?
2285643 two!
2285569 good idea
I will be so dashing it'll be hard to handle
2285543 I guess I can see what they're getting at.
2285688 And his music is good! :D I'm so happy! I love House. I knew he was a talented musician, as it's showcased in the show, but I had no idea he actually had music out.
2286307 Our old pal Greg hit it big
So no more attacking one specific heartless bastard
dayum i miss out on A LOT
2285493 true fucking gay transvestite?

Og, it's getting plenty of love. Rarity is already a hardened convict. Has several bitches she's made hers in the slammer. She's so hardcore BITCH CAN'T EVEN REMEMBER what life was like before she got put into the slammer.
"Some mare called Fluttershy just posted your bail. You're free to go."
*cue hysterical overreaction of how hard she had it at the detention center for all of 2 hours*
The problem wasn't really what you wrote in the blog, which many people would argue was justifiable. Hell, it's not even what Reality Check wrote in his. The problem is that, at a drop of a hat, a big user was able to get a massive surge of hate directed at someone because they didn't like an opinion they had.
It's fine not to like opinions, of course, it's fine to disagree, but to link it and be so aggressive towards it... well, you had to know what your followers would do. And that's really what the mods are trying to control; they're trying to stop a precedent. If someone with 1000+ followers can get that to happen every time they disagree with someone, it'd be super shitty. While this time I agree that Reality Check had some seriously intolerant views, next time a big user could object to something really small and get the same reaction. And that shit is not cool.
With great power comes great responsibility, and with great follower counts comes great ability to fuck shit up. Use it wisely (which really means never, I suppose).
