Boosted!!!

Hey @therealjacksepticeye

I know there wasn’t a stream for August but was there a charity and a pin we missed out on?

Just me wondering if I screwed up and missed one because you have the new pin box on your website and saw one there that I didn’t get...

The pups I’m house sitting are so sweet and HUGE! Perfect for hugging!!!

@therealjacksepticeye you brighten my day every time I watch a video. Life is a bumpy road that you have millions of people watching when you hit a pot hole. Its way harder on you than any of us could imagine so every once in a while breath and know there is still a huge amount of people that care about you. Even if it’s a huge weight on your shoulders you will be ok! You will grow and become even strounger and break through all of the walls that are in your way.

Addressing Concerns About My Editor

Hey everyone. 

I want to talk about the discourse recently regarding my new editor. This has nothing to do with Robin so please keep him out of it and leave him be.

Some context for those not in the know. Recently I hired someone new to help edit the IRL/Non Gaming content on my channel. Main reasons being that it was a lot for Robin to take on alone and also Robin isn’t up to date on meme culture or actively partakes in it so I brought on someone who is. I also just wanted to create more content and having one person edit all of it is a huge strain, especially with an occasional ramp up into 2 vids a day again when I could.

I will admit my screening process for this person was none at all, that’s on me and I should have done better. People went to their twitter and found a bunch of bad tweets, some were edgy jokes while others were “jokes” that I vehemently disagreed with. I brought this up with the person and they agreed that they were bad and deleted them. They were about 16 when they wrote them which normally I would let slide cos God knows I was a fucking idiot at that age but I think that’s a poor excuse in such a connected and social media driven world we’re in now. I had a huge internal struggle about what to do, I took about a week and ultimately told them that I would keep them on but it could absolutely never happen again. They agreed and showed genuine remorse for the tweets and it was clear that that’s not what they actually believe and agreed they were dumb. I wanted to give them a second chance and prove that they could learn and grow and I wanted to be mature and adult about it. Not just cut and run when things got bad. 

However I have ultimately decided to let this person go and not work with them again. Not because of hyper critical nay sayers and “haters” but because some people in this community were genuinely upset about it. They lost faith in me and felt like they couldn’t trust me anymore because it flew in the face of everything I had morally stood for and preached about before and they were absolutely right. I can reason out everything and debate it back and forth all day but at the end of the day if some honestly great people in this communtiy were genuinely hurt by this, then it’s not worth it. I want my channel and this community to feel like a safe place for you to feel like you can be your true self and connect with other people who feel the same. To build each other up and treat each other with respect and have fun and me hiring this person went against all that. So I wanted to give a genuine,honest apology and say that I am very very sorry. No excuses or anything like that,I was wrong and I fucked up. I want people, especially those in the LGBTQ+ community to know that I truly stand with you, now and alwaty.I’m so very sorry if you lost faith and trust in me over this. 

I haven’t been myself lately and coming here these days or most social media honestly fills me with an incredible amount of stress and anxiety. Hiring someone to help with the load was supposed to ease all that but in the end made things a LOT worse. I hear your concerns,I get it. I also miss the older days of the channel when things were nicer and I didn’t have to worry about things as much. The community was nicer and more connected and every day was an absolute pleasure. I promise that I will work harder to get us and the community back to a better place. I’m not a perfect person but I feel like some people, including myself sometimes, expect me to be and that level of pressure and expectation is sometimes too much to meet. I will try my best to find that magic again to create and bring the channel back to a place you’re all proud to watch and be part of. I will need some help along the way so I hope you can permit me some missteps along that journey but here’s to a better time in 2020. 

Omg I haven’t laughed that hard in a video in a while! @therealjacksepticeye

Phase 2 of Taurus’ Axe build is complete! This is gonna be huge!

Thank you so much for making this! I had a good friend(more like my brother) that killed himself so when these games come I love the perspective of it. It means a lot to hear someone talk about this subject and I know it hurts a lot of people, Yet for some reason, it helps me to be better, when I talk about my perspective on suicide, So again Thank you.

Thank you for playing these games, Seán

Laughed so hard at this!!!

Finally!!!!! My second gym badge is on its way!!!

Why I love this community in a nut shell!!!

Cheat sheet to being accepted as a JSE community member:

Be nice.

Don’t send anon hate.

Don’t send death threats and “kys”s.

Don’t steal (art/edits/posts/stories/etc). At least ask for permission before you use someone else’s work.

You are allowed to have an opinion as long as you don’t force it upon others.

Disagreeing with someone is cool as long as you’re being civil about it and explain yourself without attacking the other person.

Making Sean (or other people) uncomfortable is not funny.

“Big blogs” are still people, treat them as such.

Don’t be mean to other blogs for being “noticed” more than you. No one has control over when Jack logs on or what he reblogs/likes other than him and him only.

Call yourself a member of the JSE community.

Congratulations, you are a member of this community!

Optional:

Follow fellow members to have your dash full of JSE memes and fire.

Post things with #jacksepticeye in the five first tags so other members can interact with you. (as of now if you add links, your post probably won’t appear in the tag, don’t be discouraged, all of us are struggling with Tumblr’s changes. You can repost your own posts as long as you’re not spamming your followers.)

Reblog/reply or just like posts of community members. Be nice! They are humans just like you.

Send asks or dms to people if they’re comfortable with that. (personally I prefer asks, less stressful) Chances are they are here to make friends, just like you. Many blogs have an “anonymous” option for asks in case you’re shy. Don’t abuse this feature! It’s for shy people, not jerks.

The #pma and #positive mental attitude / #PostitiveMentalAttitude are generally full of people sharing tips, personal stories and inspirational posts. Can be a good place to have a break from havoc if needed.

Don’t be afraid to reach out to theorists, they are members just like you. whether someone uses the title “theorist” or not doesn’t change anything.

Enjoy.

What doesn’t define whether you’re a member or not:

The amount of videos you watch.

The amount of money you spend on merch.

The amount of streams you are able to watch live.

The amount of money you donate to charity.

The amount of communities you’re a member of.

The amount of posts you make.

The size of your blog/following.

Whether or not you’re able to create fanart, edits or write stories.

Whether or not you consider your art/edits/writing to be good.

Whether or not you think you’re a “good” theorist.

Whether you’re a ray of sunshine or going through some tough shit.

Other people.

Have a nice stay :)

He has grown so much over the years!!!

Jack acting appreciation post!

It's so crazy to be able to see the different emotions that he's able to put across. To see him go from smiling to then having a look of horror or just a blank stare. To actually see the look in his eyes switch. He's an amazing and talented actor and I cant wait to see what else he has in store!
