Bad news, but proceed to read this if you dare to...

This post is targeted towards mature users, so if you're a dependent user, please take this post lightly or at least ignore it.


It's pretty clear I have stepped foot off of being a "Social" type user to be more less of a "Gaming Team" or more simply and clearly "Game" type user. But, I have to address this. "I have more or less, moved on" and what do I mean, you may ask? My past, and I looked myself from the past completely ridiculous because looking back into it, there's obvious reasons why I approximately moved on from those because I am shy and also I do not want to be associated with these in the past because I couldn't believe my personality was even associated with most these types of users because they are Dependent, Immature and most of all, Impulsive.

My communication is obviously not the best, but more consistent than most these types of users you see on here. On Game Jolt, you see most these types of users throw out "Block and Report" posts which most of these posts are really immature and mostly tries to be edgy. These are the type of posts that really has gotten to me in the past, but I tend to bury all of that because it's not relevant with my personality anymore. Same with the posts that doesn't take things too seriously if it's about a serious situation which again isn't relevant with my personality anymore to point out once again because I am not that type of user, so if you want to knowledge someone about a bad user, I am not the user you are looking for, so it just feels weird to keep most of that on my account.

Another key point to point out with that if I really did build my whole community, my games, all the things I'm passionate about, all of that just to be banned because of a random kid on Game Jolt because of "mature content". That would be flat-out irritating and that's my point.

"Leave it to the professionals, not you because we can't all deal with them all the time, it'll just break our mental health leading to inconsistent communication."

Another thing is I don't really get some of these users out there where they just say "This is a kid site" when really it's a 13+ site, and there is even a rating "All Ages, Teen, Mature" so it just feels odd because what is even the point of adding mature content if you are not even going to take it brightly? And that's the thing, do you even have the knowledge that's literally the parents job? We as the internet users that posts mature content because we do it for fun and there's even stuff to back it up that that is literally the parents job to monitor their kid.

Some of them call out someone for posting "NSFW" when really what they're doing is posting "Suggestive" content and that falls under "13+" and they often misunderstand them as "NSFW" because they are really reliant on drama like that, that they even misunderstand things as "NSFW".

Some of them act as "NSFW is a bad thing" while really what it is it's "18+ content warning label", some of them try to call out a user for posting "nsfw" while they are posting on either DeviantArt / Newgrounds, so to call out someone on posting "nsfw" and tagging their Game Jolt account doesn't give it a reason point to do it.

Some of its users at least claim to be "depressed" without proper reason and independently to the point some trauma-dump people.

And most of all, most of the users see one mistake on someone's account, no thinking, just straight up report the entire account! It has been bothering me, bothering me for so, so, emotionally long! It just saddens me that most of these users that has been trampled by these impulsive users, they don't ever get a second chance because they all are young and don't even know any better!

I'm sorry, I actually feel emotionally detached by this, I don't understand how most of you even do it knowing most of these users just go by after this. If I were you, I'd feel really, really ashamed of myself for that, maybe even such guilt for my own self that I would probably think that I shouldn't think of myself. I do not understand how most these users just go by with this and not think further. That just hurts me.


Based on everything I've said so far, the shorten reasons are because:

  1. Game Jolt users discourages me. Not only me, but other people like me who are more serious and has more mature judgement.

  2. Game Jolt has become more Gen Z like which makes it even harder for me to continue creating history on here.

All of these reasons being out of the way, it may discourage one or another as well as me since all these reasons tied together, they are right to feel discouraged considering this website isn't the appropriate approach.


Why am I back here?

I want to make it clear that my personality has changed over the months and I just want you to do better in this site otherwise your mental health will drain down overtime. Just to be more informative, You're not a bad person just because of what you're doing on this site, that'll just be silly. I just want some of you to understand that some of the things aren't the way for your mental health.

I am not a professional, so I do not want to get too caught up on you. I want to at least help out some people from this specifically because most of these users are just like this because they take words from this site too much and we can't just let that happen to anyone in that matter. That is commonly a problem for this website ironically while they literally started as just a gaming site.

I know that it may seem like I'm making the users on here a bigger picture in this post and I get it, it's the internet, I'm a Pisces so my communications can seem like I bashing the internet's common issues. But as I said there are other reasons as to why Game Jolt isn't best fitting for me like it not being an appropriate option to post games or art to me at least. I don't see Game Jolt being a proper gaming site nor it being the most appropriate to post art from. I don't see how Game Jolt could really be considered as a gaming site, I see it as just a social site most of the time and even attracts younger people and that is mostly the reason why the impulsive users grew and grew overtime is because Game Jolt moved from being just a gaming site to more of a Gen Z website.

I'm not here to say that Game Jolt isn't the best for Games / Art, I mean really, you can do whatever on your Game Jolt account. This post may be a little discouraging to some that got into Game Jolt and is just reading this seeing the problems on this site just now. But it's really just me and my opinion and if you're acknowledging yourself "Maybe Game Jolt isn't really the best site for me." just from reading this, I'm sorry if I'm making Game Jolt seem bad, but I appreciate if you're trying to keep yourself safe and willing to look for somewhere else to go to.


What are my advices on you?

  1. I do think you shouldn't do non-serious responses all the time, even though it is your communication, having that as your communication all the time might affect your choice of words especially on this website. And most of all, please, just please take most situations seriously! Don't just stupid-talk and send out gifs towards situations like it's nothing, I just at least want you to take situations seriously.

  2. Stop relying on drama too much (e.g. Block and Report posts). It's very important since most users just relies on it too much and that's how we got the infamous "Block and Report" posts, especially how most of these Block and Report posts irritate the hell out of me where some of these kinds of posts try to make people Block and Report this user for the smallest thing or something they never did anything wrong.

  3. Think before acting! It frustrates me so much how most users here (especially the younger ones) just takes what the posts against people says. If you see a situation, you need to act responsibly towards certain situations and take it with a grain of salt at first before you do anything.

  4. Focus more on what you do. Stop focusing on what they say about the users and stop taking in on them because that'll damage your attention span. Just please focus on what you are doing and keep doing what you are doing, don't make things worse.

  5. If you are trauma-dumping or just say you're depressed without proper reasoning. You might need professional help. I really don't like seeing when people trauma-dumps on either posts or comment, maybe even arguing here and there and yes, some people might see it another way, but the way I see it is way different from others since in my head I would take it way, way seriously, so professional help is the thing that comes in mind.


What am I going to do with this account?

If you've been on my account for a while, You may see that I have deleted some posts of mine and that's mostly because they are immature and it just doesn't fit right. I really do not like keeping some of these posts up online because looking back into it now, I was edgy in an inappropriate way. Nowadays to me with being edgy, I'd really only be edgy when I have the appropriate chance to.

I might as well keep it inactive and move on to other sites. I know I mentioned that "I only post here for more of games, art, etc. (not really social-related)". But that has been dying on me since it's not really the appropriate site for, to me at least. To me, Game Jolt isn't really the appropriate option for posting games nor making history out of because of certain reasons. Game Jolt as I'm seeing online has been turning into more of a Gen Z/Gen Alpha site and that really hurts me, it really does hurt, a lot. I do not want to be involved into something like that, I want to be in something that is more general. itch.iο is a gaming site in general, I don't see it involving into something like Game Jolt did and the worst part is that it is damaging the people on this site mentally, psychologically and my history is on there for god knows how long.

I want to move on to itch for games, and for art, maybe DeviantArt or Newgrounds. But I feel like this has damaged me psychologically like anxiety because I feel like some Game Jolt user who doesn't even know any better is going to find out about me in other sites and probably take me the wrong way just because of a single thing they saw and maybe even tag my Game Jolt account even though I have done nothing blatantly wrong on this site specifically nor am I even active on this site. Before you say anything, that's just me trying to vision what the future of Game Jolt is going to do to me.

I just don't want to be active on this site anymore literally because of the users itself (alongside with other reasons), I don't even know what their parents even think about this and their activities here. I do not have fun being on this site because of my social anxiety, it's just not fun, not even a little seeing these users judging, basically making this specific user misunderstood.

I'm not quitting or deleting my Game Jolt account, nor I'm giving up on content creations, I still love doing it. I just don't want to be on Game Jolt anymore neither growing my history here since it'll just impact the future of mine. I primarily want most of my history to be on other things and not just Game Jolt. I want my focus to be on more general things and not something tagged more as Gen Z or Gen Alpha. I don't want my audience to grow off that specific thing, I want appropriate approaches.

After all I've said so far, maybe I'm not going to quit here completely at least yet, but I'm just not going to be really active here anymore which is what I want.


Conclusion

I get it, some parts may be just a little exaggerating to some and I get that, it may feel that way. But, I just want to make myself feel comfortable because again this website isn't really for me since I am really sensitive to seeing some things turning out for the worse. This is just my overall experience with this website and I really don't know about being on this site anymore. For months and months, this is all I wanted to get out there.

With that being said, I hope you can grow in the future, do not take the wrong path, take the path you feel comfortable with. Do not break your focus, do what you love doing and eventually grow.


~Until then, I'll see you later.

It's done! Now time to go back to the general sticker packs since these are still not done yet.

After 5 months of not uploading shorts and 4 months of posting long-forms. One short I just posted has gotten me 1.7k views, and even became one of my most viewed short just now in one day. That's really surprising to me, I cannot thank y'all enough. <3

Oh my god, the The Knightling sticker pack is back! Not the original one, but specifically the Community pack one. That means I can complete my collection of sticker!
