this post cost 5 dollars: It’s very easy to think something is true just because you hear it from someone you respect. However, when you’re a creator with a large platform, you need to understand that you’re speaking to hundreds or even thousands of people. I make these mistakes myself from time to time, but I will never accuse someone of harassment or compare them to someone who just typed a slur on stream literally two days ago when there is no evidence those claims are true. Overwatch creators make themselves very hard to contact, so there have been many cases where distaste for someone else’s content has led to accusations that have no right being made. A big goal of mine with the podcast was to break down content creator “groups” and encourage people to interact with others they might not typically talk to, just to bring their communities together. I would also like to say that an overwhelmingly large number of people assume the worst about myself and others simply because we might criticize a teammate’s performance or complain about the game from time to time. It is nearly impossible to receive respect or any level of recognition from Blizzard if you do this, which harms your career and makes you almost appear as an outcast. Overwatch, as a community, seemingly cannot handle a diverse range of personalities. This, along with my own personal beliefs, has pushed me to improve how I present myself publicly over the past few months. I hope to continue doing so while still staying true to myself and my personality.
