[S] karkat's pretty crappy manager application

Instructions

Well this doesn't flow together the best but whatever Karkat for president 2024 (or 2025 probably actually who knows) Oh my god this is just like in homestuck epilogues Also please look at the project I put lots of effort into it... Also the thumbnail is terrible and horrible and evil so sorry plaintext. Act 1, about me My name is karkat, kat, or lee, but most of you probably know me as lee! I've been a member of the hive since october 1st, 2023, so a little over a year. I've been on a few different accounts, but currently I primarily use this account (@karkltty), and @bleeeebleeeblee. I am older teen, and am in pacific time. i am usually on anytime from 5 am to 10 pm in my time, being fairly active in that window. I am homeschooled and therefore have a lot of time to kill on childrens coding websites. Act 2, why i would be a good manager. I consider myself a good leader, and do my best to connect people, do what i need to do, and persist and power through things i think are necessary. I like to be helpful and am able to and enjoy answering questions. I know a LOT about topics that some people aren't as aware of (such as "controversial" harmless identities, being alterhuman, disabilities, cluster b disorders, etc.), and am able to talk about these topics and do my best to be patient with people who are uninformed on these topics. I am really, really active and am familiar with a large portion of the hive. I am able to handle conflict pretty well most of the time, and am usually able to step away if I am directly involved and think the conflict is getting out of hand. Even when I have a bias in a situation I often am able to look at and understand both sides. Usually. Depends on the conflict I suppose. I am able to hold my composure in arguments typically. Act 3, downsides to me being a manager. I like homestuck. Okay that's a joke just joshing guys. I am really stubborn and have a hard time admitting when I am wrong. I misinterpret things a lot and have trouble reading and conveying tone. I come across as rude at times even though it isn't my intention. I have trouble empathizing with other people (though this can be a double edged sword I suppose) I often either get too emotionally invested in something or don't feel any emotions towards a situation at all. Some of the managers do not like or get along with me as far as I know. Though I am doing my best to fix this. Act 4, unique things i could bring to the position. I think I bring some things that aren't heavily present with the current managers and/or curators, and think that more representation and also having those in charge that can and want to thoroughly explain experiences is beneficial. I am alterhuman, gaybian, lesboy, turigirl, have cluster b disorders, am low empathy, and am disabled. Act 5, improvements. I really, really want to focus on exclusionism and misinformation and general disrespect towards certain subjects. Specifically lesbian guys, those attracted to objects, alterhumans, cistrans folks, and various others. I really want to work on shutting down conversations that are going in a more exclusionist territory and create and facilitate conversations that are educational and helpful. I would also like to just hold more conversations that are educational and/or about important topics in general and facilitate a place that is able to do so Act 6, recommendations. ! I think he would be a really good pick. Shi is great at explaining things, likes to help people, is able to talk about experiences that a lot of people aren't familiar with, is nice even when frustrated, and overall has helped the environment of the hive be more informed and inclusive place in my opinion. Especially on intersex, disability, and religion focused issues. ! Okay hes just overall pretty awesome I think! she has a lot of knowledge and is part of groups that a large part of the hive isn't aware of and i think that's good to have. bluh i don't have a lot to say about him but i think she would be a good manager. ! I don't think I can say anything that hasnt already been said about them, but generally he is very kind and helpful and a pleasant presence in the hive. They have also held community building events and i think that's pretty cool. There might be some other people that I don't have as much to say on that I'll put in the recommendation studio
