OMORI's Awful Community

[@sumweirdo1285]

Literally yes. Below is CW: pedophilia stuff. Things I've noticed as someone from the outside looking in. / They don't care about real victims, despite their claims. They only care about hypothetical ones. I know this because I've seen antis locate another's CSEM and spread it about, and tell the victim they deserved it..... all because they shipped "incorrectly". They also sexualize children way too easily... little girl crawling around? They whine about sexualization and then yell at us when we react like "What the sweet Hell are you TALKING ABOUT" in regards to their accusations... I don't identify as either group. But I don't trust antis due to these actions. I don't trust a group that can locate CSEM (not lolicon or whatever else) "easily".

[@bluefieldabove]

Omori was so meaningful to me given its realistic depiction of mental health struggles like suicidal ideation, depression, and anxiety. Genuinely, when I saw taking deep breaths and focusing to overcome a perceived yet ultimately imaginary threat was part of the game I almost cried... like yes, this game gets it! So often in media mental illness is depicted as padded cells, straight jackets, and maniacal laughter kind of way... instead of a much more realistic "I can't get out of bed" and "I want to live in a world of delusion until I die" kind of way. It's the first fandom in years that inspired me to get back into writing and made me realize how much I love doing so... but my lord the community should be avoided at all costs. The amount of grief I've seen people I care about go through disgusts me. Cowards advocating for people I know to commit suicide in private/anonymous DM's for example. Artists in general (much less artists for a game with the themes of Omori) are struggling with mental health and attempt to vent/cope through their art. I've seen some artists get called out for depicting self-harm of the characters (characters who engage in self-harm in the source material ffs...) and not once does anyone consider if there's a reason for it. My claim to fame in this community is almost nonexistent (a character analysis I was harassed into deleting, and some stupid comedy fics on ao3) and given we all know now how this community developed... I'm glad for that. I know I couldn't personally handle the mental anguish of the righteous mob mentality. I can't imagine being a notable artist or writer who touches upon problematic themes (usually as a way to vent/cope with real life trauma) as though writing/drawing them are advocating for them. Despite its many attempts, the community has not quite killed my interest in the game. While I know its message of learning to forgive yourself and others has fallen upon deaf ears, it's still an important story for me. I'm waiting for most of the community to move on to the next thing they can ruin, because if there's anything I've learned it's that a smaller crowd of like-minded people and content creators are better than a million shrieking children (if not in age than in mentality) trying to earn internet clout by being holier-than-thou, cancel everybody, twitter Jesus's. Ok, I'm rambling... sorry, I tend to do that. I'm sure I got a little incoherent there, it's late at night when I'm writing this but I just had to say how much I appreciate this video. You're doing God's work sir.

[@bossdoor]

I'm glad you didn't let the fandoms dogmatic behavior completely erase your love for the game. Time to create new memories, with new and more considerate OMORI fans.

[@BelBelle468]

It’s a bit scary how ppl can be apart of a “fandom” for a piece of media and be completely against everything said story represents. Even funnier when we consider the creator went through their own controversies that are kinda nothingburgers. And they’ll go on to say to like the game, but not the creator, as if the game’s messages cannot be applied to the creator as well. Another example I’ve seen are the homophobic & transphobic Undertale/Deltarune fans. I can’t fathom how ppl can consume content they fundamentally disagree with and poison group spaces with their hypocrisy.

[@jessdavis2677]

Oh hey, I've seen your stuff on AO3. You were the one who wrote the funny Basil alcohol dentist fic, right? The fandom is admittedly a major reason why I'm terrified to post my own fanfics even under an anonymous handle. As I tend to draw inspiration from my own life and writers like Irvine Welsh and David Lynch, I shudder to think how the fandom would react to my drabbles if something that's shown to be canon (self harm, mental breakdowns, suicide, etc) gets people harassed and demonized by a media literacy-challenged crowd of children who shouldn't even be playing this game in the first place. I agree in that the fandom can't diminish the impact this game had on all levels; the game's story has its flaws (the underutilization of Hero and Basil, for one,) but there's no such thing as a perfect story, and for all the turmoil the production had, it was affecting and made me laugh-cry in a way that's hard to put into words. (not laughing as in haha funny, but laughing as in haha i want to cry but fuck i cant my brain wont let me)

[@catsungdae]

no fr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i hate that i'm not even surprised that such a beautiful game has a community with such a shitty immature side to it (undertale... glad i never saw a playthrough of it until like 2019 lmao). omori as a game is just.... i hate it, but not in a "hate" hate way, hate as in "holy FUCK you GET IT!!!!!!! YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NO YEAH!!!!!!! WAIT.... WAIT WHAT DO YOU MEAN I CAnt live in my childhood forever. oh. Oh. Oh my god. what is going on. this just got way too real. no go back please Go back i wanna be in headspace eternally" genuinely i don't think i'll ever have a video game experience like i did with omori when i found out you could select "stab" and then select yourself--- first time i saw that im pretty sure i audibly went "wait i get to stab myself??????????? fucking finally dude LET'S GOOOOOOO" ...you know the phrase "art should comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable"? yeah i feel like it really applies with omori. it's simultaneously upsetting and comforting to me. it's me btw im the disturbed i have never felt so understood by a piece of media before. just... acknowledging suicidal ideation for what it is and how it feels. anyway im going to abruptly cut myself off here before i get carried away and write an essay on why i love/hate omori so much and start like dissecting it and shit LMAO long story short im honestly so glad and thankful that i'm terrified to join and be apart of any communities/the social side of fandoms again

22:06 I'm a friend of this person. In fact, she received more insults and threats of murder than the tweets in the video, and even though I wrote a rebuttal to those tweets, more than a few hundred people murdered her personality. She later vented her mental pain to friends including me on Discord. There was no reason for her to suffer like this. She was just drawing and never committed to advocating for a crime. Nevertheless, the 'proud' Omori community joined in criticizing her for drew a art. Fortunately, over time she recovered. (Also funny, after that FemKel art she gained additional 1,500 followers.) But what happened at the time seems to remain hurtful in more ways than one. At the very least, fewer people will be blamed and hurt innocent if the Omori community reflects on itself, but unfortunately, they don't appear to have any intention of doing so. What a seriously shameful Community.

[@Arexion5293]

Differentiation between fantasy and reality begins development around the age of 3 on average. This community makes me think something has hampered their capability of separating fiction from reality.

[@therealslimweegee]

I feel like this is the result of how dependent we’ve become on social media/the internet as a whole. Because we spend so much time on the internet nowadays, people have begun to be unable to separate the virtual world and the real world from one another. As such, people have begun to treat virtual world problems on the same level as real world ones, and this results in the stuff the OMORI community has done over the past couple years. The worst part is, it’s not even exclusive to the OMORI community. It seems to be endemic of any piece of media that gets popular on social media, most notably Twitter. I really hope things get better for us in this regard, because if this is how we handle minor stuff like interests in games and art, then I dread what will happen when we begin to focus on more complex subjects like politics.

I just have no interest in even being friendly with the younger fandom like I wanted to anymore and it's really sad to think about... I wanted to be a "con-mom", but the frenzy over finding pdf files at the expense of real life victims of them like myself was just too traumatizing for someone who relied on online socialization back then.

Thank you. Thank you, thank you, THANK you. I absolutely agree, not enough people call out this wretched behavior, and I'll bet many of the people who may share your thoughts are afraid to speak up because of the things you already explained. It's perfectly valid to be uncomfortable with certain types of art, but there's no way in hell anyone can know someone's real world intentions based on the art they like, and it's high time people remembered that. Honestly, calling out Elgato directly makes sense because it applies to TONS more people. This freaky mindset is everywhere now. Every fandom I join, I see it and even run into it. I was banned from a server once just for speaking up against that, and when I tried to warn the mods talking to me of the dangers of their mentality, they were already so wrapped up in their tangent that they didn't notice what I said at all. They asked me to explain myself just so they could preach. I'm constantly paranoid that someone's going to "background check" me and get me kicked out of a nice hangout space. I'm afraid to make friends through fandom because I frankly DON'T want to associate with people who would think less of me because of the art I like. I checked out that Omori Emotes server once and the mods themselves were downright nasty towards someone for having a "bad" ship in their icon. They accused the person of breaking rules that couldn't even apply to that, like their rule against "hateful conduct" or something like that. Almost any fandom server I join, I can quickly find instances of people going "what's proship?" "oh it's people supporting p//do and in//cest art" "WHAT" or "ew don't follow that artist, they ship XYZ" "oh no!" And it makes my *skin crawl* seeing so many people spew that bullshit. It's so pervasive and harmful and I hate it with SUCH a passion lmao. I won't be checking replies to this, but on the off chance someone has the question, "But isn't that what proship means?" The short answer is that "proship" was literally just the word for people who took a stand against the new trend of attacking people for "problematic" ships which became prominent (at least in its current form) in around 2015 or so. Check out Jesse Galaxie's 2 part series on it if you're curious! "Proship" was a response to "antiship", which is the obnoxiously vague name for the stuff Boss Door explained in the video. "Proship" is the default. It's logical and intuitive. "You can't determine someone's real world intentions based on art." All the arguments against this are either baseless or twisted and it pisses me off that we now need videos like this one to explain in thorough detail why the "antiship" thing is bad and wrong. Anyway, I really liked the way you conducted yourself in this video too. I enjoyed your humor, and I think it was a pretty wise move to focus on the harm of the mindset and behavior of people like Elgato rather than the targeted artwork itself, because the level of offense of a piece of art is irrelevant when we're condemning abusive behavior. Bravo!

Imagine that 3 years ago , OMORI pfp was based and now people auto assume you are a pedro

[@Peacht4n]

It's because the people in the fandom are extremely young and either on the spectrum or terminally online. The art community atm is so awful because 13 year olds dont know the difference between content and art. They also constantly want to fight and be in every "drama". Even in the past on TUMBLR many years ago it was always young kids. But it was way more contained inside specific communities. Now they just bleed out and kids think they're being rightous and good for cancelling someone just because they're not the target audience of a specific artwork

[@eyeballdad8712]

This whole never ending drama is really funny to me. because, I follow a lot of Omori artists, and a good amount of them are Asian (Japanese, Korean, Chinese) and, like... this sort of 'shocking' problematic shipping art, similar to what Remi drew (privately and not on their own account, may I add) is MUCH MORE common, lol. In fact, this may sound hyperbolic, but I'd say most of the Eastern side of the fandom are "proshippers" by our standards, with some much more explicit than others. Some you may not even realize! They don't follow police each other, they just chill. It's just funny because one artist getting caught drawing lewd stuff is this seismic, community-shattering thing over here, but in Japan and other countries, that's just your oomfie lol. There's no dumb drama over it over there, we are always the ones that create drama with other people. Maybe it's because this game has designs and characters that are appealing to shotacon types over there, which is why it's so prevalent. That sort of subculture is not nearly as big here and often seen as illegal or evil. And also the war between proshippers and antis is just not a thing over there. Outside of western spaces, fan art of fictional characters is understood to just be fictional. Whether people even agree or like the art is irrelevant, they still understand that. You can say that art is disgusting and yeah, I mean, it's weird and not my thing.. but it's so, SO easy to just block someone and move on with your life. It takes so much effort and time to harass and fuck with people, I don't get how people do it. I guess it's just kids with way too much free time. Maybe I'm weird, because I grew up on the internet and I've seen so much awful shit throughout the years, so drawings of fictional characters just.. don't affect me? i dunno. some people act like a real child was harmed whenever they see like, a lewd drawing of Sunflower. I'm rambling now. Am I the weird one ?

[@TheAdvertisement]

Yeah the disconnect between Western and Eastern fandom culture and artistry is insane. I don't like to name names, but even some people I'm friends with have made blatantly racist generalizations about Eastern media, mostly Japan. Like, I'm sorry but treating the Western opinion on this art like it's the objectively correct one is as naïve as it is puritan.

[@tessabakker662]

A lot of western antis are craaaazy racist too. I've seen so many comments that went along the line of "Oh [artist who creates dead dove content] is from [country*], why am I not surprised when that place is so full of degeneracy". Just full-on making stuff up about the artist's intentions and personality and using that to paint an entire culture/country and it's population in an extremely uncharitable light, so they can gloat about how their own western nation is 'so progressive, good and Pure(tm)'. *I've seen this done to artists from China, Japan, South-Korea and Russia, but it would not surprise me if there were more countries of origin the antis have decided are just 'bad'.

[@Aleutica]

i think another aspect is that in omocat's style, her kid characters and adult characters don't look super different. all her characters just look cute and super stylised. the ages of the main cast weren't revealed til well into the game either. it's just weird since nsfw drawings of more popular series like evangelion, mha, etc usually don't get this much discourse

[@xdani_thethinkingneko]

Yes they do. I see it all the time. It’s ridiculous too, especially when you consider that a lot of these fandom’s the Time in the world goes so much lower than in the real world.

This is actually the first bit of Omori related anything I have seen in a long while. Back in the day I use lookup videos about the game all the time because I loved hearing other peoples opinions about a game I held near and dear to my heart. I'm sorry to say that those days have long since passed. My enthusiasm for the game has sadly long since been eroded by the god awful community. Whether I was looking at fanart, videos, comics, or fanfiction. It always became just a matter of time before I would stumble face first into some accusing someone else of being a PDFile, or some other wild fabricated claim. It was just so disheartening. While Omori did touch me on a very deep personal level. The nonstop assault of toxic behavior was to much for me. But I am glad that there are some people who still enjoy this game, and have stayed strong through all the abuse that has been hurled around. Thanks for the video Boss.

Haven't watched the video in full yet, though I feel like it's going to be a cathartic watch, but just wanted to point out 2:00. "You're gonna learn about someone in the Omori community, so vile, so putrid and devoid of human empathy, that you'll feel safer having known about them." The intro obviously leading to the topic of witch-hunting? The specific calling out of people who are hate-watching the video just before saying this? This absolutely feels like a set-up that this supposed monster doesn't exist and that you were starting your own experimental witch-hunt. I may be completely wrong, but if I'm right I'm very proud of it, and impressed with how well you proved your stance with it. 7:20 Ok welp nevermind ig. Still a good video though. Alr, finished the video. It made some very good points and while I don't agree with everything, I at the very least am grateful that someone is stepping up and calling out this witch-hunting. The term pdf file and all the buzzwords that are being thrown around at anyone who dares do something or have an opinion deemed "problematic" is getting concerning, and it's even more concerning that this is mostly being done by children. Largely teens who probably shouldn't be on Twitter in the first place, and definitely shouldn't be dedicating so much of their lives to hating these topics, to witch-hunting, and to defending themselves against the terrifying legitimate concern that they too could be targeted as the next "danger". The adults that pilot these kids around and the community that indoctrinates them into these radicalized attacks are so much more concerning to me than anyone who draws this "not safe for the workplace" art. People need to learn to live and let be, there's infinitely more problems in the world that need addressing. Indulging in your hatred helps no one. My only solace is that this a largely just a Twitter thing. Some Reddit too but, most of the harassment is being done over Twitter. Please, I beg of anyone reading this, don't make Twitter your life, especially in fandom culture.

This quote leaps to my mind every time I encounter a community like this, and I'm sure you'll agree it is tragically apt: "Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." - C.S. Lewis It takes genuine effort to be more vengeful and dangerous than an overbearing protector, but I have to say, you make a solid case that this "Elgato" individual has somehow managed it.

This is similiar to Undertale, where a masterpiece of a game is completely ruined by a shitty community. Claiming someone is a pdf file because of a single mistake they did or because they forgot to unfollow someone is so fucking messed up. Telling a MINOR to DIE because they made artwork you didn't like, is the worst thing I've heard of in a while.

I wish more people made use of blocking features, and I also wish weirdos didn't make getting blocked part of their personality.

I kinda feel grateful for not knowing absolutely nothing about these dramas. (except for melon and omo) I just played the game, got traumatized for life and kept going.

So pretty much Twitter freaks ruining fandoms

[@ZeraAxon]

As a (previous) outsider of the fandom, I never saw anything bad when Omori was recommended to me. But that’s just “my side” of the internet. I just watched my first play through of Omori and I love the game. And all I have to say about fandoms before watching this video is that every fandom has a bad (or absolutely terrible and toxic) side. It’s unavoidable unfortunately

[@matthewriley3118]

This game sucks

[@LowPolyKidneys]

Im a minor whos also a proshipper and I literally got doxxed once on twitter thanks to it. I don't even post proship works, much less NSFW, just of the opinion that harassment for fiction is.. bad. I literally had to get the local police involved about it.

[@everyonelicksthesamerocks]

holy shit, hope everything has got better snd you're doing okay now

[@tariqdotpng546]

amazing video. great for people in the omori fanbase and those who want to take any creative path (videos, art, etc.) in the future to know what kind of experiences they could face, even if they’re not this major.

[@lunchbox997]

A lot of what Omori's community does from my point of view: They take the message of Omori, (of going and seeking help with depression/suicide, admitting to mistakes you've made, asking friends for help, trying breathing techniques to get over phobias temporarily/permanently), and they throw that all away. They want to stay within that cycle of pain, of suffering and want to see the characters of the game suffer like they've suffered. I interacted with the community at large because it seems like it got picked up by a lot of teenagers and adults who haven't coped with their own mental anguish, and use the game and community to further inflame their own psychosis to the point where multiple times community members have to talk them down from their mental brink. While I'm all for horror and the sick side of it, when I grow attached to these characters I want to see them happy by the end of it. Thankfully I've been divorced from the community since launch of the game and only focus on the game itself and the music. It's like Undertale, once the community grew up a little bit, it was more bearable to interact with. I think once the community of Omori grows up in 10 or so years, I might interact with it more.

[@nightmare69420]

thank you! fandoms can get really crazy.... or at least, certain people. never will understand 'antis', like... if you dont like a ship, just grow up and block + move tf on. too busy feelings yakuza

[@coran4802]

Ah Elgato. I remember her. Caused a lot of annoyance in the modding community, especially towards my friends. The modding community could have it's own video on drama shit tbh. Cool vid.

[@bossdoor]

Oh hey Coran. i hope your retirement from the fandom has been relaxing. Really liked the OMORI boy mod, hope you're doing well.

[@coran4802]

@@bossdoorThanks man, it has been. Hope you're doin' alright as well.
