Dude, check that other members’ comment history. He just has a huge stick up his ass. (Not that there’s anything wrong with that 😂) I know @jadestoner has had to deal with her share of fuckboys too on her streams.
I'm a bit confused, was this "Guys to talk" to thread for guys to support other guys? Or a place for women to only talk to guys? I think the sentiment is nice, but it should just be people supporting people if they are able to, not gender specific.
@samihain I struggled with what to call it. Essentially it is for two purposes. To find guys that are on here to talk to and are good people. For both men and women to find them. I keep stumbling onto other guys pages through their comments on photo sets etc. 2nd of all, a number of us guys have been blogging about rude members and our opinion on the fact. I thought a thread would be easier than jumping from blog to blog. We could work on one idea together. I’d love for women to input too. If you have a better name idea, and it needs a better name, please let me know. It’s not meant as a support, just ways to find guys. Surprisingly enough, all the groups and threads are about models. Go figure a site about girls is focused on girls. I’ve met some great guys too. Okay, sorry for the word salad.
@inkedodie When you say a way to find guys, what exactly does that mean? Like a dating thread? If that's what it is, I cannot be included. I have a significant other. I might just be misunderstanding it, I am on the autism spectrum, so please be patient with me. As for the rude members, staff has provided everyone with instructions to block rude members, and also screenshot their name and report them if they are breaking rules. I can't remember where that info was, but I do recall them giving instructions on how to handle it. I'll see if I can find it.
@samihain wow I’m making it worse. I meant find friends that are guys. My first 200 follows were models. I realized I’m missing out on chatting with the guys.
Hi @inkedodie. I heard from my friend last night regarding the recent incident via the live streams. So unfortunate & sad ☹️. I’m not trying to bring this all up again, but simply wanted to say, I can appreciate why you started the thread & are trying to bring some awareness to the members who are truly trying to be part of a fun community. I hope eventually the bad ones will remove themselves, and/or the admins will find a way to address them & the issue regarding streams. A little bit about me, I’m a licensed social worker, been so for a long time. The “see something, say something” mentally is so a part of my brain. Yes, I’ve had to deal with my share of disgusting & inappropriate men here, it’s extremely rare, but it happens. Early on, right after I rejoined SG I often confided in a friend (SG member), bc honestly-I doubted myself, “was I in the right” “did maybe I take this the wrong way” “am I overreacting” “is this how things are here now”?? then I learned to trust my gut, and remind myself that I’m in control of who I chose to interact with, and how. Being assertive though isn’t always easy. I think being part of a community means we are all obligated to create a safe, fun space for ourselves & for those around us. And if that means bringing someone or something forward to the admins then we should all trust our guts & feel comfortable that we acted in the best interest of/for the community. I hope this is what you were asking by tagging me in this blog. If not. Sorry! It’s a lot going on, and I know filled with emotions for those involved & affected.
I guess Amoxi said everything 💜 I also commented on @katdaddy and @truetrue316 blogs, I really appreciate the support of members like you @inkedodie! Last year I used to have a friend who kind of "moderate" my chat on streams, and it was sweet! In my opinion there's nothing to do with "white knights", but do something when you see somenthing. It can be just a nice advice in the chat like, 'hey, that's not how the things work here'. I'd do the same for any girl. Oh, I've just remembered I had a member doing this on my SG OF stream too!! Well, you started the thread with good intention and I guess you guys should try to keep it positive and focus on nice members. Don't feed the trolls, as the ones we have in streams, they want to get attention. And they don't deserve it 😘🙏
@inkedodie as always you were just trying to do the right thing to make this place safe and enjoyable for all. For the few who disagreed many more girls and members appreciate how hard you try to look out for others. On a personal note you have always looked out for me and given great advice I really appreciate it 😊
