I'm gonna address this real quick. I'm talking about the friendship studios- I'm more neutral towards them but recently I've been a little frustrated with them. I'm happy to hear other opinions and I'm open to being persuaded but here is what I feel with the situation right now: it sucks when you don't get invited. It sucks when you think you're close with someone but you don't want to cross a boundary so you stay quiet and lonely. IT SUCKS. + the people making them absolutely think that everyone is out to get them when it's actually more of a general issue. And I'm tired of hearing "People need to accept that they're not that close with whoever made the studio" some people accept it just fine, but like I said before they keep quiet and feel lonely which feels awful. I and many other people would love to be invited to these studios but no one cares enough. They ignore people because they don't have many friends. They ignore people because they don't have a pretty profile These people are not heard because they don't even have a voice in the situation at all. It's like if a close friend had a birthday party and invited tons of mutual friends and several socially popular people but not you. why? there's not really a good answer other than they like those people better than they like you. and when you find about about it, its just a pure punch in the face. and your just supposed to "accept that" and leave them alone. NO! people are finally standing up for themselves on this matter and you're getting upset when all they do is this: 1. make a post about the situation remaining fairly neutral and only using facts 2. doesn't drop any names. 3. politely asks if they could be invited. and you're getting upset, I mean cmon, then you are a big drama queen/king if you think that is annoying. And for those of you saying that they should make their own studio or join another one, making a studio takes a fair amount of effort to get people to actually talk there, and telling them to go to an open invite one is like telling them "Go to a strangers party." One time I made an exclusive friend studio and it wasn't worth it. I rejected one person and I felt pretty bad about it. so I shut the studio down a couple days later. it was the preppy music nerd girlies for anyone who's wondering. So personally I think it'd be great if these studios died down and studios for friends AND followers became more common or more open invite studios were made. There are some people who have been compromising so that anyone can chat there but only close friends can be managers which I think is a good compromise <33 (The next topic might be offensive to some people so just keep that in mind while i rant about it!) Another thing I wanted to address is the really problematic scratchers who constantly say they are going to leave but don't and they usually constantly post very vivid projects saying things like "I cant do this-." "the haters are too much" Please don't give these people attention, or say "please stay, I'm so sorry you're going through this!" or anything along the lines of that. They crave attention and they want to be wanted by people. Many of them are unhealthily addicted to scratch so please just ignore those projects you guys. They won't ever really leave so there's not much purpose in telling them that you feel bad for them when they bring these things upon themselves and don't really mean what they're saying. I'm sorry if this sounds insensitive but many of them get in way too much drama and they can be problematic about the smallest things. I hope my rant was entertaining to read lol. </3 Bye y'all! (sorry abt my awful grammar if y'all cant read it XD)
