UPDATE / NEEDED VENT

skip to the bottom if you wanna get straight to the point

…

Hiii everyone!! ( ˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶ ) I hope your all doing well <3 I just wanted to make a small update something I needed to get off my chest and my mini hiatus.

This is a bit difficult to talk about, but it’s been on my mind because I’ve never really seen anyone else talk about it or bring it up. I’m specifically speaking to my queer male audience—has anyone else felt like this community is feeling less inclusive for us? I know it’s largely dominated by women, and that’s completely totally cool, y’all make the best bots fr, but as a queer man, I sometimes feel a sense of alienation. Especially as someone who heavily prefers and uses 90% male personas. Of course, spaces for us do exist here and there’s still quite a few, but it feels like they’re becoming fewer and farther between. And I’m saying this as someone who’s been using this app for a year+. It’s not enough to make me want to leave, but I definitely notice it. It makes me feel kind of sad and empty—like it’s just always sitting in the back of my mind. 🫠 I guess that’s just part of being queer sometimes. I just really want to know if anyone else can relate to my feelings.

For my hiatus: I just moved into a new house and don’t really have the clear headspace to work on bots right now. Not until I’m fully comfortable here and everything is moved in. I should only be gone for a week or two—maybe even sooner! I love doing this and making bots, so I rarely follow through with hiatuses anyway so take the with a grain of salt. Cya soon!
