TL;DR FOR THIS : UPDATE DUMB, ALL MILITARY BOTS ARE DD:DE, I LOST INTEREST IN WRITING BOTS AND AM TRYING TO STOP DUE TO THE AFFECTS OF AI. I AM ON AO3 PRIMARILY NOW AND LIKELY WILL ONLY COME BACK TO UPDATE PEOPLE ON MORE UPDATES JAI HAS. ALL MY INFORMATION CAME FROM IVANBRAGINSKIS BOT. FORGIVE ME IF I MISUNDERSTOOD ANYTHING OR GOT ANYTHING WRONG. PLEASE READ THE END AT LEAST, WHICH ILL SIGNIFY WITH THIS; 𐔌՞. .՞𐦯

THIS IS NOT AN ATTEMPT TO SPREAD MISINFORMATION OR CAUSE UNREST OR HOWEVER THIS WILL BE SEEN. THIS IS MY OPINION ON AN UPDATE AS WELL AS INFORMING PEOPLE OF IT, EVEN IF I TALKED ABOUT IT LIKE I INTENDED TO. PLEASE TAKE THIS WITH A PINCH OF SALT AND AN OPEN MIND AS TO WHY THIS UPDATE WAS MADE, ALONG WITH DOING YOUR OWN RESEARCH ON THIS. I DIDN'T, EVEN WHEN I SHOULD'VE, BUT I WANTED TO GET THIS OUT AS FAST AS POSSIBLE AND WILL TREAT THIS HOW THEY TREAT IMPORTANT UPDATES LIKE THIS; SUBPAR AND HORRIBLY PRESENTED.

This is genuinely a disappointing update. For those who weren't informed by another creator or person, there was an update to the TOS again. This isn't a surprise to me, the censorship is getting crazy now that completely innocent pictures can't be uploaded due to the dogshit filter. But the update specifically mentioned something that is DETRIMENTAL to my main bot fandom, people who filter DD:DE for whatever reason, and the definition of DD:DE.

All COD bots, and military bots by definition, are required to be tagged as DD:DE due to the tag being needed for war, trauma, PTSD, blood, etc.

This is an update that I cannot get behind. Mostly because there was no warning posted AT ALL about this on anything other than, I'm guessing, the news site that only 5 people use. This is bad planning, as nobody uses that. Even then, not everybody has Discord or Reddit. This is so obviously an attempt to just have more money to support the sight, but it's a horrible way to do it.

This is a HORRIBLE decision for multiple reasons. I can understand the part about war, but BLOOD? Y'know, the thing we all have? The thing that happen naturally after even MINOR INJURIES? I can also somewhat get forms of trauma, such as OG Ghosts backstory. However, just slapping DD:DE on ALL bots with trauma is a horrible choice and waters down the term so badly that even booktok would be upset with it.

This is also annoying on the end of creators due to having to check EVERY not, ensure it follows the new TOS, and adjust the tags just to add DD:DE because of a basic injury or because the character was in the military briefly. There is no mass edit button, and we have a limited number of tags. For example, the same creator I got this information from, IvanBraginski, has over 300 bots. THREE. HUNDRED. I have 83 bots, 95 including private, which is already going to be annoying. There are creators with MORE than that as well. Imagine just how frustrating it would be to go into one, adjust if needed, and go to the next one over 300 times. Maybe even HIGHER than that.

Unless you got a group of people to help you with those numbers, it'd be a race of time and praying you aren't spotted by devs or reported until you've finished editing them all so you don't get in trouble for having a character get cut. As somebody who used another popular censored site, this censorship is insane. Even THEY let you have a COD bot publicly without need for censorship on the bots themselves.

Aside from complaints of censoring, this is a HORRIBLE way to water down Dead Dove content. The definition on the tag ON HERE even says that the warning is used to the FULLEST EXTENT. If it were a military operation or a mission? Understandable, especially of it got into the nitty gritty. However, this includes ANYTHING military related. At this point, I'm going to tag THIS bot as dead dove just to be safe with how often I'm mentioning it.

Some people physically can't interact with DD content, be it trauma, phobias, discomfort, etc. However, this update forces ALL COD bots to be DD, which can mess with the same people who can't interact with certain topics. This forces them to either take a risk or creators to remember to put warnings ON the bot PFP, title, and/or bio to ensure there are no misunderstandings. And even then, they might not be seen! The top should be reserved for what entices people into the bot, not whether or not a Ghost bot is about SA, obsession, stalking, etc!

I think I've made my point clear enough, if not, I apologize. I want this published as soon as possible and to apologize for not being here, which I will get to now.

I have lost interest in creating bots. I cannot fulfill any past requests I have gotten. I am so, so sorry to anybody I couldn't get to. I will still be around, but I am trying to stop using AI as a whole due to the affects it has on the environment. I will keep my account up and I will change my bots to fit the TOS, but I cannot keep going. I will not be changing to any other site. I also have an aCc on the sAme other popular and known sIte, being Sillyme0wme0w if you want more content that I have on here.

If anybody wishes to make content related to my bots, you're more than welcome and have my full permission. I cannot stop you from making anything, just abide by the law so nobody gets in trouble for anything and don't inform me if it's actual DD content. I'm not comfortable with interacting with most forms of DD, to the point it's just not worth trying any topic. Also, don't copy any bot directly.

I apologize for not completing anything I was requested or anything I promised to do. I apologize for not telling any of this beforehand. I apologize to anybody who saw me as a source of inspiration. If I ever gain interest again and fail to stop using AI, I might come back.

Also, as one of two minor apologies, I'd like to apologize for my chicken Gaz bot. While mostly harmless, I feel it is somewhat controversial. At the time I didn't really think about it, but making the ONE BLACK character in a games storyline, an important one at that, a CHICKEN was a... questionable choice on my end in hindsight. I will edit the description in it to apologize, but I will leave it up to show that I don't feel the same way and to show other creators to think more about what bots they make. Even if it wasn't made with intent, it feels racist or at least ignorant to not recognize how strange it is. I'm honestly a little surprised nobody said anything, from what I know of at least. I haven't checked my bots in forever.

I'd also like to apologize for the amount of trans bots written only explicitly or relating to birth/children. While it would be nice for representation for trans individuals, I didn't really write it that way. Most of it was written like a fetish, but it came from projection and a need to be seen in characters along with trying to be relevant. Unfortunately, explicit content is usually what gets you to be relevant on here. People also requested bots, which didn't really help my case. I DO NOT BLAME ANYBODY ELSE at all, I wish I had denied them and knew why it was odd so I could explain to them why it was odd. I remember somebody saying that it WAS odd once, but because I didn't think about it past pleasing my need for representation as a trans individual, I ignored them and even deleted their comment. While yes, "don't interact if you don't like it" still applies to most stuff, it should've knocked more sense into me. I apologize to whoever that was specifically, I really should've thought about it more.

To conclude, I apologize for a lack of communication, some past choices and actions, and I am disappointed with this website. For any small creators who are reading this, make good choices, be polite, don't start drama between other creators on purpose, and think further ahead than I did during my time here. I'm not good with ending things like this, so I'm sorry if this is subpar or feels half-hearted.
