So lately I have been receiving some dislikes on my sims videos , which truthfully is unavoidable when you share things. However, i received a comment on you tube that basically signified that they disliked it because the video represented a same sex relationship. Now my youtube circle is super small I don't have a large following and most people that see it are going to be on fb or here. So I am posting this to explain that ALL of my stories have same sex romantic themes and this will not change. My past , present, and future videos will also contain such material. IF you are sensitive to this type of thing and it somehow irks you enough to dislike hours of work I beseech that you please STOP viewing or watching my stuff. If you hated the first one you saw you're prolly not gonna like any new ones I make either. I wouldn't bother addressing this if I hadnt received a message that was rude , homophobic, and conveniently anonymous . So long story short, if you don't like romantic themes with same sex please don't watch my stuff and dislike videos that people work hard on.

So sorry you had to deal with that, sammoyke. It's not your problem; it's theirs.

It happens im more or less just wanting to warn people so myself and my viewer doest have to "put up " with things they dont want to see or hear. Perhaps they rather not see this material but i would really rather not see the biased negativity to my work, constructive criticism i love and need and use but criticism for the sake of bigotry i will not accept.

Ugh that sucks. I hate when people are so critical of representation when you're literally like...
1. They're sims. Virtual reality. How does that bother someone so much?
2. Theres a back button and an x button LITERALLY ON THE SAME PAGE IN FRONT OF YOU.
Your stuff is beautiful, Sammy. The only thing that bothers me when people use gay romance in their story, usually it's a fetish thing and gays a more treated as a novelty or a "thing" than people. I see this a lot with other fandoms and in the fan fiction community. Not so much with the Sims. Like I said, though, your stuff is beautiful and while some have darker themes I don't think same sex relationships should automatically be labeled ADULT or R rated.
... side note, but I've seen your stuff here. What channel do we follow on youtube to get more of your content?

If my stuff had a rating it would be mostly T but I guess some could be considIf my stuff had a rating it would be mostly T but I guess some could be considered M if sex is somehow in it which for my current story is only one video and it's a very brief scene and mostly added to test the adult mod i got from lover's lab. My channel is here YT Channel In terms of writing , fanfic or otherwise. It can be necessary to disconnect emotionally with the characters in the story to yourself the capability of writing better , for example if I love Sammoyke TOO much putting him through traumatic situations is going to be a lot more difficult to do and make it believable.On the other hand for situations like writing a believable romantic scene you HAVE to be able to reconnect with the character emotionally on the drop of a dime. People who write fanfic or otherwise and include homosexuality in the story generally CENTER focus on the fact they are gay through out the whole story. Or in other words it becomes less about the story and more about when is the next scene where they get stranded for hours alone and they have sex to pass the time. This is actually less of a gay thing and more of a smut writer issue, gay or straight when a person commits to write smut that is exactly what they write . My original story No Such Thing as a Perfect Confession and Serendade of Love was smut driven with very little to go on in way of plot. It was the every day lives of a detective and a chef , that doesnt leave much room in the way of adventure and no matter what plot I gave it, its going to be a domestic driven home based romance comedy that spends most of its time just gettin to the good part which in that story would have been the kisses and cuddles. For Konoha AU Gaiden, this is not case. For Sammoyke in this story he just HAPPENED to have fallen in love with a guy. He is not even affirmed homosexual in the story he is just unaffected if people knows he " swings that way" for the right guy. The right guy of coarse is Takahashi. His feelings for Takahashi is no more or less focused on than Hinata's for Naruto's or Sakura's for Sasuke, though the way he carries his emotions largely falls in the middle of the two he isnt shy but he isnt annoyingly obvious about it either. The only other same sex couple in the story is Neji and Itachi but it is more of hetero life mate thing with a no boundaries on affection, they don't have a physical relationship usually but they aren't above or ashamed of holding each other while one of them is upset , you could say that if either of them were female they marry each other instantly but since they don't happen to swing that way their relationship stays generally platonic. My pictures of those two may make you wonder if there is more sometimes but that is only cause there is a short supply of poses in game that i can use to represent their closeness without tying in romantic themes to it all the time. But Konoha AU isn't LARGELY Sammy's relationship romantically so much as its about relationships and family , the plot focuses mostly on his part of being a weapon in an upcoming global event that could shake the world of shinobi from its place of superiority in the world. The depth of my story telling is WRITTEN. The videos and pictures are meerly glimpses and sometimes just meant in good fun to test a pose, an animation, ect. If my stuff is disliked out of disinterest of the story or art then I can only shrug and accept its not meant for everybody. But when its disliked out of contempt, hatred for my character's sexuality which is not who he is as a person but is merely part of who he is just like being heterosexual is only part of who they are ( assumingly). Let me air it out another way. Im a story teller, a writer, a pansexual woman with more gay friends than hand bags and my friend circle being mostly homosexual means i can't deliver a "fetish" story. If I produce anything less than fair , they usually tell me. " that scene is a little stereotypical" to make a case in this japanese yaoi constantly refers to the men as uke and seme, I don't do this cause real relationships more often than not don't work this way. So there won't be any answers to those types of questions in the series directly but if asked I would clearly opt to say he is verse, because thats fair . I want people to read the story because I think its a good story. I want people to root for Sammoyke's love interest the way they would any other protagonist .ered M if sex is somehow in it which for my current story is only one video and it's a very brief scene and mostly added to test the adult mod i got from lover's lab.

We love your show, Sammoyoke. You cannot please everyone nor can any of us and that is clearly not what we set out to do here. While I think it's the responsibility of the creator to say hey my stuff contains this and that when in a public setting, people can then make an educated decision on whether its appropriate for them. But viewing the material then criticizing someone for who they seem to be or what the product represents, instead of offering constructive feedback, is trolling . And, should just be viewed as such. /ignore.
