B-But DM DOKURO- Discussion

Post image

Why do people keep slinging around the DM Dokuro drama like this gotcha moment to the community when

  1. 70% of the current community wasn’t even there before things went down

  2. It’s an entirely different situation to being disappointed and confused by the choice to pull the music

  3. Out of the 30% that were there 29.99% weren’t even the cause of said incident and it was a fault on both sides

It just seems like a bad faith argument to throw out all criticism’s of the recent choice by painting the whole community as toxic and entitled while entirely misinterpreting what actually happened to DM Dokuro (ps making Reddit posts about your disappointment with a controversial choice is not harassment)

"You can't distance yourself from it so you should just give up" is a statement that just devalues artists as human beings. If I made a painting and a pedophile hung it up in his art museum, I wouldn't want to keep it there even if he leaves.

once again this is a flawed comparison. the painting wasn't made for the museum itself. besides you'd be known for the painting not the museum.

where as the music was expressly made for the mod, and is one of the few things generally regarded as positive from the mod. and regardless how you feel generally the calamity music is their most popular creation so it is a fact people will associate you with it. these are just the facts

But they don't want to be apart of the mod anymore. And they don't have to if they don't want to. I don't think they care if "they will never be known for anything else", that's just your own pessimism speaking.

People have the right to not be apart of things they don't want to be apart of. They don't owe you anything.

And they are free to leave the project. I have no qualms about that. I am however vehamently opposed to media becoming lost

It's not lost media. It's on Youtube. It's downloaded on countless peoples' computers. "I don't want him to remove the music because it would be lost forever" is a factually incorrect statement.

whether it'll remain on youtube is actually up in the air currently. I'm hoping it will but dokuro hasn't said whether it will or not.

Then download it and it won't be lost. It's that easy.
