Addressing the Elephant’s Foot in the Room
Hello Fluffy Community, Loopie here. Some of you know me as a simple lurker or a writer who hasn’t posted the next part to his FoF: MRI series yet. Others probably won’t even know me at all, and that’s fine, you’ll soon know. Recent events have seen me being a bit more active here, and so today I would like to address what I’m sure many here have forgotten or would prefer to remain forgotten.
When I first rediscovered fluffies a few years back, I was not in a good space. Tragedy and heartbreak had just entered my life, and I was seeking out an old stress coping mechanism from my highschool days. For a time, my hectic life schedules kept my brain juices flowing with thoughts that I turned into inspiration for my stories. Now, life has mellowed out to average and I am not feeling as stressed or grief stricken, and as such haven’t had the same motivations to write my fluffy stories.
Despite this, I am still very much a passionate lurker in the community. When I arrived, the site had quite a few problems and a lackluster mod team that was more content to sit with their thumbs up their asses than do anything about it, in spite of so many within the community hounding them to do so. Around this point, I found someone just as passionate about the community, if not more so than myself, in the form of a pizza faced vampire.
The day he achieved the role of site janny, his actions were swift and resolute, driving out both unsavory elements which we should have been rid of long ago as well those who did not wish to interact with the main interest of our fair community. In a very short amount of time, peace and order came to the lawless land of the site. This peace would be short-lived, however, for as soon as everything was in place, the only one doing a goddamn thing for this place was ejected from his role as quickly as he got it. For reasons still largely unknown, this passionate soul was ousted, and his vigorous flame doused.
I am making this post now of all times because it has been a few months out since that fateful day, and already I can see the lawlessness once more rearing its ugly head, and site staff barely doing a thing to curb it. I am not making this as a “I’m leaving.” or “I’m gonna stop being part of the community at large.”, but as a “I’m tired of shit going sideways.” I’m calling out the site staff to finally give us a comprehensive reason as to why the only one willing to do what needed to be done was removed from his role, why @Mr_Owl, who did the removing, did so in a unilateral move without consulting the rest of the team, and why even the owner of this site @Ryou decided to accept this widely criticized move and just move along as if it nothing ever happened.
If you don’t want to do your job because you’re too busy with life stuff or because you’re afraid of stirring up a little controversy, then I implore you to please step down and let those who want to see this community thrive in peace take up the mantle of responsibility. If you want to remain as part of the site staff, then do your fucking jobs right and don’t be a coward.
