ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ୨୧⠀ִ⠀♡⠀scratch is not media⠀꒱꒱ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ﹙ #intro ⚙️⠀﹗ hello ! welcome back to another project :} + i hope your day is going well ! <3 today i'll be sharing my opinion on how scratch used to be...and how it is now. if you are NOT comfortable with me talking about the aesthetic community in a NOT-SO-POSITIVE-WAY , please exit out of this project and either ( 1 ) view one of my other projects **totally not me self-advertising** or ( 2 ) check out someone else's projects. you have been fairly advised ^^ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ﹙ #disclaimer ⚠⠀﹗ under no shape or form am i insulting anyone in the community known as the aesthetic community. i am js stating my opinions on what it has turned into recently <3 please do not throw shade on me for this. if you disagree , you disagree---but you should not insult me for my opinions or how i feel. ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ﹙ #mainsource ⭐⠀﹗ when you first see the screen of scratch ( assuming you've logged out TT ) , what do you see ? you'll probably see a header that says : "Create stories, games, and animations..." well , you're probably wondering , "mikaeli were are you getting with this i need context". well , here you go. if you look @ most of the aesthetic community , do you see games and animations ? no , not really --- and if you do it's "aesthetic-fied" to the max. its not even an actual game like tic-tac-toe or chess. its like "cat-clicker" or "bunny platformer"...basically programs that use simple code , or are remixed from another scratcher. im NOT saying those games are tr4sh , im just saying that they have no real concept , its been remixed probs by 10+ other scratchers who thought making a platformer look "cute" , "aesthetic" , "kawaii" would get them more followers. which in fact it DOES gain them more followers , cause when people see the game , they're like "omg this person took soooo much time and effort into making this game!! its sooo cute and aesthetic tooo ahhhhhhh"---kindly sthu if you are one of those people. again , im not trying to be mean , im not trying to throw shade at anyone. im telling the honest truth. as i was saying , what do you see recently with people's projects ? be honest. 1 ) rants / vents 2 ) advertisement [ ex. underrated scratchers , my fav fonts , etcetc ] 3 ) vlogs / blogs guys , i hope you know you're lit-terally sharing your vlogs / blogs on a kids-coding website. you act as if this is s0ci4l m3d1a. which its not. it's a coding site. a. coding. site. are you guys coding when you're sh4ring pics of what you ate recently ? no. are you guys coding when you're sharing f4ce pics ? no. are you guys coding when you're recommending your fav songs ? no. so what im trying to say is , why're you using this site like its a s0ci4l m3di4 site. its a coding site. not a media site. ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ﹙ ⌚⠀﹗ yeah. that's all. TT...................................................idk what else to say. ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ﹏ 2023 ✦ ꕤ ㅤㅤㅤnothing is f2u by any meansssss >:((
