Digital Circus fandom controversy over alleged slur

tvApr 26, 20267167

Composer Gooseworx, WHO contributed music to The Amazing Digital Circus, was accused of using a racial slur in recent commentary as the show's finale approaches. Members of The Amazing Digital Circus team issued apologies for earlier inappropriate jokes, and some observers contrasted that response with Smiling Friends creators' refusal to acknowledge a separate controversy. The dispute centers on race and gender representation and could shape audience perception and the series' reputation heading into the finale.

"Never apologize, never address it, never change, never learn" rhetoric is very bad and also entirely true bc look at the sheer difference in reaction between the digital circus guys apologizing for some bad jokes vs the smiling friends guys never acknowledging being Great Replacement truthers lmao

The current TDC is just, like I know I’m just one negro but it’s the most absolute nothing shit & it does me so much psychic damage seeing people whims whole personality is Smiling Friends shipping trying to see the TDC people launched into the Sun for some shit that don’t matter

Obviously what they said and did is bad even if it was several years ago and they apologized for it but people still cling to other media made by people who have done things just as bad if not worse and never even acknowledged it

I should say that gooseworx being a white trans women while also making bad jokes that made me side eye her. As someone who loves the digital circus while also realizing the problem glitch has when it comes to race and gender equality, Besides Knights of Guinevere

the digital circus fandom shouldnt have to collectively take the blame for the actions of a right-wing grifter who isn't even a fan of the show. make it make sense

I'm not gonna sugar this, as someone who likes The Amazing Digital Circus, the TADC fandom is the WORST! There are worst fandoms out here, but the TADC fandom now currently is up there. We do have some great people in the fandom, but they're buried under really toxic assholes.
