I'd like to take a second to tell you guys a little bit about what's going on with some of the members of the bass music community.

Cancel culture is not something I thought would ever be on audiotool, but after the entire incident with Akiri and the rapid decline of Kathwaii, it took another incident for me to wake up and try to do something about it. One of my good friends's exes is now on audiotool, for the sole purpose of getting him either banned or hurt in some other way. Already, there have been signs of this starting. She's even said it herself.

This isn't ok. I feel like audiotool is supposed to be this safe place where you and your friends can create and enjoy yourself. When I joined, that's exactly what it was. It was a creative paradise. The only "drama" that was even present was little feuds that people would have and then forget about a few weeks later. It was bad, yes. But it was something that you could ignore, because there wasn't that much menace behind it, and there weren't actual consequences to it.

Fast forward to today. There are people being bullied and harassed into quitting, either for things that they haven't done, or things that happened a year ago. Yes, you can still criticize others for what they've done in the past. But I think that when the person is actively trying to change, and when that person is incredibly remorseful of what happened, then you should at the very least ignore them and never talk to them again. That's it. It should be that simple.

I'm very adamant that if this trend continues like it is, someone is going to end up hurt. And I don't know if I can take that. Yes, if you did something bad, you should be punished, and I 100% agree with that. But there are limits.

I'll probably get hate for this. I honestly do not give a single shit, and if you refuse to even try to see my point, you're part of the problem. This shit should have been kept in discord dms.

Thanks for reading.

  • Fast forward to today, when there are a bunch of accounts 'disguised' as celebrities for the sole purpose of canceling online daters and catfishers

    I mean I understand the reason behind it, it's just kinda funny

  • Listen. I have not a fucking idea what #pulvgang or #heisengang was, or whatever the fuck is going on, but what I've heard by reading all of this is just absurd. Why not avoid it all in the first place? Why did a shitstorm or pointless rage and anger get stirred up? I've always known audiotool as this amazing site with amazing people, and now this? Not pointing fingers, but gay harassment and autism jokes? As a person with autism, this really cuts me deep. This NEEDS TO STOP.

    • gonna defend my boy CC here, he didn't do either of those things. it's super obvious that he meant no harm in what he put on his wall, and its really just a word that people use. yeah you're using it in a derogatory way, that's the joke. some people just use it and they don't really know why, its just a cultural thing i suppose

      one thing i do know? hes never said anything about people with autism. if he has, post it on my wall, i'd love to see it.

    • >gay harassment

      by saying that you mean you're using gay as an insult or people are insulting gay people

    • This all could have been avoided, but instead, this insanity began evolving into fighting, then harassment, then cyber-bullying. We as a team need to work this out before someone gets HURT. And I don't mean that in a threatening way, but what I mean by that is people don't know what others' breaking points are. I haven't witnessed much of it, but during some of my lowest points, i was really considering suicide. I hate how it takes something to actually happen for people to assess it.

  • When things like this happen please mute and report harrassing users. It's better when a moderator takes care of them than an open war on walls and tracks. We have the tools to handle situtions like these in a emotainally neutral way and prevent escalation

  • I don't even have a reputation anymore anyway lol

    • Vizil is a legendary producer, idfk who Cripping Compression is tbh, his ass been banned like 20 times on Audiotool, and that's all I can remember

    • How fucking dare you call those people memelords

  • unbelievably based

    cancel culture is general is fucking retarded

  • heres the drama i currently deal with:

    audiotool drama (i refer to this specifically)

    swim team drama

    school drama (fsr)

    family drama

    relationship drama

    overall music drama

    and this is how many shits i give about it:

    none

    and yet no matter what i always get dragged into it

    ALWAYS

    im way too fucking tired of all of this bullshit coming from all of these fuck-ups

    might as well kill myself while listenin to some moore kismet if you ask me, reflecting back on the goods and bads

    • Well, you better get used to it. Being pathetic is normal. Everyone will always, and forever be a cunt.

    • damn

      holy shit i needed that

      normally i feel like a runt, and all people know me for is being the tall, cowardly, fucked-up riddim kid with cyclothemia, but now i feel like someone just hit me in the head with a baseball bat and brought me back to reality

      i should be happy for where im at in worldwide society, for im lucky to be where i am

      i should be dealing with all the shit i face, even if i dont fucking like it

      thanks man, really, i appreciate it a lot

    • anyways her server is literally anarchy, but it works. everyone there is either bored or depressed, but it's a good a group, you might fit in well. lisset is just very selective and she stresses it's not kid friendly.

  • drama sucks

  • everyone just dogpiles. One of thre friends gets attacked or they their friends are trying to cancel someone and then they all join in in one big circlejerk acting like they are better than them, when in reality no one is better than anyone on this site, no follower count is going to make you better or worse than the people on this site and no one realizes is that because there too busy acting like they are the second coming of jesus "ending" these toxic audiotoolers through downvotes and harass

    • ok i will downvote

    • I actually think the mods do their best in the matter, which is partly nothing. This site is big for a few people that manage it, it would be unimaginably time consuming imo.

    • not to start anything

  • i call it pussy shit

  • But am I a horrible person? I think so. You might not, but I will always say so.

    • It's a matter of how the world is around me. I'm very brutal, to the point.

  • I am open to forgiving anyone, because spreading positivity on Audiotool, is something I neglected for the longest time. To anyone that has been affected, I am also sorry, I hope you get better <3

    Much love,

    ApoC

    • Not really a big deal now, then it was many years ago, I guess.

    • And what I did to those people, I've forgotten. So yeah.

    • A lot of times of reasons I am saddened, is because of the 'mute' button. Like, I wish people would get over past mistakes, but unfortunately, they do not.

  • Can i weigh in? As someone who has literally never been part of any drama on AT, the simplest, and best advice I can give is just; ignore it. This is a site for making friends, learning about and making tunes of whatever genre, and any drama or negativity is simply not needed at all. If you have beef with whoever, just dm them on discord or insta or whatever and talk it out. Cancel culture, arguments and diss tracks are so petty and totally impractical to solving any disagreements.

    • vvv get offended and then try to fight the person, its easier digitally, firstly. And secondly people probably got offended equally as much, just didnt really try to argue with that person as much. Thats more accurate.

    • quite a few people nowadays get offended quite easily in my opinion, which is fine and completely natural, but telling everybody, convincing and spreading it only feeds cancel cultures and such. I think it is better to just keep your mouth shut and perhaps only hurt the person in your mind, if its really bad (not meant seriously) or just think it over before writing something or telling sth instictively. If you dont like the person and they cant be spoken normally with, its not worth your energy

    • dam i ain't know youtube was on discord

  • I'm incredibly happy I see eye to eye with you on this...

    There are very few things I hate worse than drama.

    Audiotool really used to not have this much toxicity. Near the beginning of when I came here, AT had a couple toxic kids here and there but in general it was pretty wholesome. I'm not trying to say everything that transpires on AT is toxic nowdays, I'm just saying we've lost something over the few years I've been here that I actually believe we can get back if we just try.

    • vvv @Stormdrain im 20 and I feel like most people on here that I know are way more mature in their doing than I am.

    • addiction must be satisfied

    • lets just start with the facts. Most school computers prevent downloads, audiotool is online, and is unblocked pretty much anywhere. People who get school computers are usually under the age 18 and I imagine most people would use this during class which is an immature action, therefore thats probably alot of the people on this site
