Hey everyone. I just want to tell you guys that I have contemplated leaving for a while... There's too much stress and hatred that has been flung at me because of this crumbling site. I want to express my real emotions, not hide behind an "I'm great!" Mask anymore. I want my opinions to be respected, not attacked. I want to be seen as an individual with difference and not a nametag shoved into a crowd of forced-to-be sames. I want to be understood, not tossed aside like garbage. I want to be loved, not targeted. I want to be HEARD... NOT SILENCED.... A few users, Scratch Team, and my mental health have led me to form this choice. I will go more than partially. The only time I will come on this account is for animation content. Before I go, I plan to release an animatic, but I'm not sure if that will happen at all though. So, I will look back and smile at the fond memories and great friends I have made over the course of my 2.5 years on this site. I love each and every one of my followers SO much! You all have helped me along in my Scratch journey and I thank you for that. <33 But now it's my time to go. Toxicity was a main player in this decision and it's for the best. (Bit of a rant) PLEASE. Be a good person and spread care to others and build them up, not break them down. Tossing your baggage onto others hurts and it won't, in turn, do you any better. Do not try to persuade people to follow your agenda. They will be shoved under the same mask I was and leaving a site may not be the worst that happens to them if you understand what I'm getting at. It makes them depressed and lie about their mental health to the point where they are laying on their floor, desperately wanting to leave this earth. It's not a good feeling and I know. I was there. I was there today. In short, if you have something ugly to say, just keep it to yourself. Your hateful ranting will not help anyone. ASK before you impose a rant on someone's profile. This is all getting out of control and Scratch is crumbling at the base because of this behavior of not getting what you want. FACE IT. You aren't the only person struggling with problems on the face of this planet. Have empathy towards others since you may not know what that person is struggling with in that time (I am struggling with a lot right now). Moving on... Scratch seems to be the hub of discrimination and hate, so I am moving to ToyHou.se. You may follow me @ Calyypso if you want to continue viewing my art content. If you don't have a ToyHou.se account, you can gain a code through a project search and hopefully someone will give you one. You have to be 13+ to be on TH. Well, I am so sorry that I am letting go of Scratch sooner than I initially anticipated, but this is for my own mental health... I love you all so much! You have given me such care and I wouldn't trade that EVER! <33 Thank you for reading.
I do not want anything hateful in the comments. Anything like that will immediately be reported on the spot. Kind encouragement and reassurance would be nice, however.
