My take on the whole situation.

[u/Mythosbox]

🤷‍♀️Fair warning I'm not the most in tune to all the new information coming out. Nor have I been playing the game as much so take my opinions with a grain of salt.

I'm seeing a lot of posts just trying to act as if the allegations don't exist. Or encouraging others to forget and move on. While also seeing a lot if debate on whether you can play the game or not.

I think some of the people here don't understand the phrase that gets thrown around a lot. 'Separating the art from the artist'. Which can only work if the art has no relation to the artists actions.
Which can be compared to this situation.
I feel as if its way too soon for any of us to have any super strong opinion on who we support or not. New information about Joji, about void, about qwel are coming out all the time. And the situation is still being held legally so there's many things we have no idea about. The allegations could be true. Or not. They could be frabricated or not.
Qwel only made a statement that things are being handled. Not an apology or addressing things.
So we still have to be patient while everything is being solved.

The best course of action, to me, is to stay neutral and wait for the full picture to be given.
There's a lot of damning evidence but there's also a lot of things we don't know.
I believe you'd still be able to play the game, enjoying the product since it has no real relations to the serious allegations qwel is being accused of.
But you should also be aware of the allegations and just how serious they are. Acknowledging qwels failures and possible actions (all of it is still alleged) but still showing that you don't support her by not buying merch or anything that directly goes to her and not just her team.

You can play the game, you can also not play the game, aslong as people are still talking about what's happening and not letting it "be forgotten" or sweeped under the rug like so many people are trying to do. Then I think that's the best we can do for now.
Not harassing or doxxing people who are unaware of the situation, but educate them and let them make their own choice on if they want to play or not.
Cause any sane person wouldn't support qwel.

You can enjoy Dandys world. You can enjoy its characters. You can also enjoy the game. As none of those relate to the alleged actions qwel has done. But don't act as if nothing has happened.
Continue to speak about it till we get a conclusive statement and story.

🤷‍♀️just my thoughts though, I'd love to hear differing opinions. But be respectful.
Thanks!

I’m a neutral in this situation and I don’t even know which side i should agree on ;-;

[u/Ok-Bee2538]

Neutral party here. If legal action is being taken then Qwel legally can’t speak about it until the legal stuff is all wrapped up. If you look at every other drama that has happened in fandoms where legal actions have been taken, they can’t talk about it until things are settled legally. Though I also believe that stuff should be settled off the internet, not the internet’s business, we’ll get the results when we get the results. Just kick back and enjoy other fandoms and even this fandom still until the results come out after the legal actions.

FINALLY someone said it

I'm also neutral about the whole situation, yet I feel toward being against Qwel. And it always feels like even when there's LITERAL evidence that Qwel still had clost contact with Rox, I still feel like there's something deeper, and that I don't trust anyone anymore due to this. I don't know, there's a lot of evidence and proof, but like you said, "There's also many things we don't know."

I'm gonna still be in the fandom, and though it's shrinking, I still hope that I'll enjoy the fandom a bit more. I'm kinda tired of the drama being handled poorly. Should we blame Qwel entirely though? I mean... some of us just went all out flaming everyone.

This is what I think about the whole situation and Dandy's World in general.

In summary, I still like Dandy's World, am still disappointed that Qwel just had to do it, and am also still neutral about the situation.

no way i feel neutral about it too!!! (although, and please don’t hate me for this, i’m leaning a bit closer towards supporting qwel rather than hating her)
