TIL that Gothic literature makes a distinction between “terror” and “horror.” Terror is the sense of dread and apprehension that precedes an experience, horror is the sense of revulsion after an experience.

most of french qsmptwt aren’t mad at Q for speaking in spanish and big french accounts are even telling people to be mindful not to say such things please 😭😭😭 and the french have been patient for moooonths now calling out the issues if we have to hear « be patient » once more we may turn into the joker like can we have the right to be mad maybe

But like. Yall now cant do anything else but be patient and i meant that with all the respect in the world. This aint the parliament or a big tech company, this is a single guy trying to make everything right. The moment Quackity heard what everyone was going through was the moment yalls demands were heard. But now its genuinely IMPOSSIBLE for everything to happen immediately. The timer for yall to demand changes coming from Quackity himself should start now, as only now he's working for these changes to happen

The admins got no warning about the lay off because they were literally LEAKING ever single thing. A decision would happen backstage and then IMMEDIATELY leaked. Imagine how terrible it would be if they got the warning they're laid off and THEY were the ones speaking out immediately about it and making everyone rile up before the official stream about it?? This was a thing they had coming

Guys. You all called out the issues >> and you were heard <<. You guys already won. You guys got a union involvement and yall have all 4 french ccs on your side. You already won. Rilling people up now won't do any better, it actually will just make things worse. Even Pierre himself said today that things were moving and it was for everyone to wait it and see. Ik y'all are mad, and want immediate answers. But this is quite literally all being solved by a single guy. There's no world where you would get the answers as fast as you want, no matter how mad you are

POMME!!!

also side note if you're xenophobic or you're a loud BBH anti and like to spread misinformation about him then I'm just going to straight up block you. if he bothers you that much you can just filter out words related to him and and block us ghosties if you don't want to see anything about him, I promise you no one will care or get upset if you do.

a good amount of BBH fans moved over here for a reason, don't bring the way Twitter treats him over here

Alright, my lovely people. I’d like to give a little rundown of what a labor union is and what protections it provides for workers because I think that it’s context that’s important to the current situation. Please bear in mind that I am by no means an expert. I am drawing on my research and my own experience being in a union at a previous job to write this post. Please feel free to reblog with anything I’ve missed.

What is a union?

A union is a group of workers who have banded together in order to use their collective strength and voices to make a difference in their workplace. Many unions were formed due to dissatisfaction with exploitative or unsafe working conditions (look up Appalachian coal miners if you want to see an example).

What do unions do?

Unions are there to act on behalf of their workers; their entire purpose is to ensure that their members (and, often by extension, non-members) receive fair wages, proper breaks, safe working conditions, and many other benefits. They are made by and for workers.

What do unions NOT do?

Unions do NOT exist to break up companies. Unions are there to ensure that workers are treated fairly. Union leaders will first do everything in their power to obtain better working conditions by negotiating with the company on the behalf of the employees. Shutting down a business because of poor labor conditions will never be a union’s priority; they will ALWAYS be on the side of the labor force. The union may take the company to court and the company might later collapse as a result of that (whether because of court fees, public backlash, or other reasons) but the goal is to preserve the workers’ jobs while also making sure that the workers are treated fairly.

What does this mean for qsmp?

I don’t know. Do I think there are major problems? Yes, absolutely. Do I think that Quackity is working to address these problems? Again, yes. Do I-or anyone else for that matter-know what those solutions are or what they may look like? No, we do not!! I cannot see into the future; neither can Twitter. We need to have patience and understanding as we all wait to see what comes next.

I’ve seen a lot of doomposting here. I’ve seen a lot of anxiety and stress. If that’s where your mind is at, you might need to take a break from the internet for a bit; god knows I might. This situation isn’t going to be fixed by attacking the cc’s or the admins or anyone else who’s involved. That’s not our job; we’re only adding more negativity and stress to people who may already be at their limit.

Be kind. Be patient. Be a community. That’s what this server is all about, ultimately. It’s time to prove that. Hope this helps.

#let me reiterate #a union is there to ensure the workers' rights and conditions and fight for the workers #not to take down companies

All my heart goes to the admins

Unpaid artwork is theft.

Unpaid acting work is exploitation.

Some devs were barely paid, same for builders. Eggs' admins weren't paid for their rp job.

Translations? Unpaid.

Background checks? Never done.

People got fired for being burned out or not available due to personal issues. They were FIRED, from a VOLUNTEER post that was UNPAID for not being ''available enough'' (which doesn't seem to be a very defined criteria)

Lea got paid 169€.

The minimum wage in France is (very roughly) 1200€.

A plastic figurine isn't compensation for all of that unpaid work.

It's a nice gift, at most, and here, it mostly feels like a joke.

The admins are the backbone of the server, from lore planning, translations, roleplay, builds, devs, art, clips and art gathering, designs...

Without them, the QSMP literally wouldn't be able to function.

2.

That's the number of french admins on the mc server. There's only one left now.

Let's remember how the french ccs kept getting forgotten about. And now, let's realize that Lea said that multiple times, they had to quickly add stuff about the french because the others had forgotten.

It happened often enough to be noticed by the viewers.

It happened even more behind the scenes.

To say that i feel sick is an understatement.

Pay your artists.

Pay your employees.

Not allowing them to speak to each other only reveals how wrong you know you are: if there was nothing to hide, you wouldn't be scared to let them talk.

(oh and also: not allowing ANONYMOUS people to express themselves about ABUSERS? That's fucked. Support Shelby and all the victims, always.)

[kamomie]

Honestly all this makes me even more grateful and emotional about the bbh ghostie cam streams

Our lovely egg admins were given a cc’s platform as a stage for an entire week, for however much of the day they wanted, with full focus on only them to create their own stories as the main characters. It made me so happy to see, but most importantly god did it show how much the admins have such genuine passion and love to be roleplaying their characters & for the qsmp project as a whole. they make this server what it is, and deserve so so much more respect and appreciation. It warms my heart to see the community rallying behind them

[kamomie]

there's now a union taking action against Quackity Studios, link to their tweet here

#glad to see it being taken seriously

[kamomie]

To summarise what Antoine said:

Aypierre and Antoine initially tried to brainstorm a way to get Lea back in QSMP after the leak, assuming this was the only problem there. They then learned many more things through a big Google doc Lea made with proof of mistreatment etc

After Baghera and Etoiles read the document, they all started drafting a letter to Quackity explaining the situation and basically saying that if nothing changed, they’d leave.

They were in the middle of editing it when Lea brought the story to Twitter, which Antoine is disappointed in because he wanted to clean that situation in private as much as possible, but he says that what’s done is done and now they’re all waiting for change.

Antoine says that obviously, he expects DRASTIC changes and PROOF that these changes happened before stepping back in that server. He mentions that there might be cultural differences at play, but he still considers it way too big of a problem to excuse this as JUST a cultural thing.

He knows Pomme’s admin had her admin rights revoked for now, and said that if she is replaced, he will 100% leave. He doesn’t want to support worker exploitation.

He saw a summary of Quackity’s answer and said that it’s a good start, and he’s optimistic about the future and hopes for the best. But yeah, if the changes don’t happen, he’s out

#so they were in the middle of trying to change how things were #and lea felt the need to go public? #that's a little oof #but what's been done is done #hopefully it leads to better work/worker conditions

I've watched the latest Acau video and it's so cute, all the comment are like "he is called badboy but he is the ultimate good boy" "He is a bad boy but he is too sweet" "Goodboyhalo really saved us that day"

Even if you don't understand Korean, Acau videos are really well edited, and the comments are cute. You should definitely take a look. (It has the moment where he roasts quackity house with the "it's perfect to live alone")

The video link :

(Ps : they both look so cute in the thumbnail)

(Ps 2: I love the lillte asterisk with "very kind" under bad's name)

English machine translation:

Yo. Yes, I'd been aware of the problems with the QSMP players for a while via Léa (she was afraid to talk about it beforehand, but basically I wanted to try and get her reinstated following her exclusion because of a leak that was entirely my fault (fucking obs 😞), and very recently she's been a bit more open about the internal probs. I mentioned these very serious problems to Quackity on Saturday and we were in the process of discussing them directly (yesterday evening or today, not easy with the timezone + weekend) to resolve the problems quickly. But now you've all heard about it, it was a ticking time bomb anyway. Personally, I'd give it a bit of time (having already managed projects as a team, you need time to put everything to bed and see what you/we keep and what you/we need to change) and give Quackity a chance to restructure everything and come back better. Personally, I want the QSMP adventure to continue (but obviously also in better conditions for the actors/admins, we'll always defend them, especially our current and future Frenchies) because it's too good, so I still believe in it.

Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

French original:

Yo. Oui j'étais au courant des soucis avec les acteurs QSMP depuis peu via Léa (elle avait peur d'en parler avant, mais de base je voulais essayer de la faire réintégrer suite à son exclusion à cause d'un leak qui est entièrement ma faute (fucking obs 😞), et très récemment elle s'est un peu + ouverte sur les probs en interne. J'avais évoqué ces problèmes très sérieux ce samedi à Quackity et on était dans le process d'en parler directement de vive voix (hier soir ou aujourd'hui, pas facile avec les timezone + weekend) pour résoudre rapidement les probs. Mais bon maintenant vous êtes tous au courant donc voilà, c'était une bombe à retardement de toute façon. Perso laissez un peu de temps (pour avoir déjà géré des projets en équipe faut du temps pour tout reposer à plat et voir ce qu'on/qui garde et ce qu'on/qui doit changer) et donnez sa chance à Quackity pour restructurer tout ça et revenir en mieux. Moi j'ai envie que l'aventure QSMP continue (mais évidemment aussi dans de meilleurs conditions pour les acteurs/admins, force à eux on les défendra tjs surtout nos frenchies actuels et futurs) parce que c'est trop bien, donc j'y crois encore.

QSMP LANGUAGE DAY

It will be in March 3rd‼️‼️

Since this weekend there's still the strike so not everyone will be online, so moving it to next weekend!

What is "QSMP Language Day"?

It will be a day here on qsmpblr that everyone will speak their native languages and, those who speak english by default, try and speak other languages they're learning and get some help as well!

The goal is to make everyone feel more comfortable speaking their mother tongue here on our hellsite and even find other peers that speak the same language as we do and we never knew about!

If it all goes right and we enjoy it, we could have it happen more often, even weekly if so, to also make qsmpblr a little bit less english-centric and maybe even rope some non-english speakers in here

The translator use is not only recommended but also actively cheered upon!! You can use Apple's in-built translator, you can use Ok Google's in-built translator, you can go copy text it in translator, or download a browser extension if you use desktop!! Everything is allowed for your better understanding

So everyone!! Prepare! Spread the word! Cram some duolingo lessons more!!

Let's all be ready for March 3rd!!!

#det virker helt forkert at skrive på dansk #men nu giver vi det et skud #i hvert fald ved qsmp opslag
