Dear Scratch, This is Millie and Bethie emailing you. We have a complaint to file. A huge one. This email will contain two parts. One from Bethie and one from Millie. Please feel free to respond and tell us why you think you should do this to us. Hello, my name is Millie, but I also go by Milz and Misty. Please call me any of those, I don’t care, I just want you to listen. First off, I liked Scratch. Yeah, the key word there is ‘liked’. No, I just want to use Scratch because I’m an animator and artist. I had a podcast, for (millie's strong word choice) sake! I had friends! Because of you, I can never talk to them again. Because of what? Oh, that's right, YOU! I didn’t want to get (millie's strong word choice) by you, but the (millie's strong word choice) fact that you’re banning me and my best friend for trying to ‘work around’ the @Authors_1311 ban, I just wanted to animate and use the ‘gift’ you’ve given us! Now, I just want one thing: FOR YOU TO LISTEN, FOR ONCE! Hey there scratch. This is Bethie typing. That’s not my real name but I don’t trust any of you. You banned my accounts. Would you like a refresher? @Bethie_13, @Firewolf_13, @Athlete_Gurl_13, @-Loona_13-, @Sweeplings, @TheOceansmoon, and @Authors_1311, the one that started all of this. Scratch was a place I went to be free and childish. I’m a sixth grader who is stressed out and crying every night because I no longer am a kid, and scratch allows me to be a five-year-old. Okay? So that's only one reason but don’t worry I have plenty more for you. Fine, you can ban @Author_1311 I’ll admit that one went a little far but my other ones?! No! I will not stand for that. Here is another thing you are scratch, homophobic and you ban people for mainly no reason! All my hard work has gone to waste. My heart and soul put into those projects. Gone. I only want , , , and back mainly because those ones were important to me. I have had I hard time making friends since I got to middle school. I just want to chill sometimes. Scratch was a whole new world! I could make friends easily because they couldn’t see my face and hear my voice shake. It was a better version of me! I loved it. Yeah, that’s right past tense. I don’t understand what I did to make you have to ban ALL my accounts! I am so heartbroken you say scratch is a ‘safe community’ well if it is why are people getting banned for revealing their sexuality! I mean it makes kids worry if something was wrong with them. It makes kids think they aren’t special and for the record Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss is only inappropriate if someone puts an inappropriate scene or quote than ya, give them a warning that’s not appropriate for kids. On I only drew the character as myself! In my account I wrote stories. Now because of you I will never be able to share my stories again. I have never been confident in myself until I joined scratch, and I felt like I could speak for myself instead of leaning on my friends for support. Now I’m back to square one. Needing my friends to hide behind and wondering what I did wrong to get banned from scratch. Every day I’ll be wondering why scratch doesn’t like me. I’m sorry that being me is inappropriate. I’m sorry being me is not okay. Is that what you want scratch to teach children? That it’s not okay to be themselves? Is that what you want? I have heard the same thing over and over again: Children are to be seen and not heard. We have voices too. We want to have voices. Some of us have very important things to say. But you don’t listen at all because we are children. If you have them ask them what they think. Think about scratch, about school, about politics, about anything a grown-up really thinks about. People have been saying for generations ‘Children are our future’ well that’s a complete lie! We never had the chance to rise and step up to the challenge. Instead, we have to wait to become older to finally take on the world and its challenges. I will not wait that long. I want an explanation and my accounts back ASAP! I will make a petition if I have to, and this is not a threat. This is a promise. A promise that I will not stand for this. A promise that I will not stand in the back waiting for my turn. A promise that I am not afraid to stand up for what is right. Thank you for reading. Thank you scratch for reading please email us back we want a full explanation of this problem and please! We NEED our accounts back! From, Bethie and Millie
