hello hlvrai people. i would like to correct a misconception i’ve seen floating around and remind you all that wayne has spoken clearly about his opinion on nsfw in the fandom.

tumblr ask from June 22, 2020, from anonymous to wayneradiotv. anonymous asks: "this is a really important ask because people are getting harassed, receiving death threats, and just are subjected to absolute abhorrent behavior over making nsfw of HLVRAI. i know you have expressed you don’t want to see it, but is it ok for it to exist when tagged properly and not sent to you and the crew? thank you in advance and i’m sorry that i even had to send you this ask." wayneradiotv replies: "i have gotten so many asks about this from either side, let this be my only statement on the issue: i cannot stop any of you from making any kind of hlvrai content. i think the nsfw stuff is weird, but if you’re going to make it, go ahead. i said the same thing in one of the commentaries. that was not a call for people to be attacked for it. if the nature of the content is problematic in its own way, i am not responsible for the way people react to it."

(source. maybe DNI w the post itself bc he’s expressed here he doesn’t want to be involved in fandom ~drama; be respectful of people’s boundaries)

tldr: it’s fine when it’s tagged properly and not sent to the crew; don’t attack people over it.

in addition to that, a couple months back during wayne’s Elden Ring playthrough he, the crew, and his mods in chat talked for at least ten minutes about their discomfort with certain HLVRAI fans– specifically those who compare the crew to their characters. as a group they mass-block people who do this. the crew has been very clear that they aren’t the characters and don’t want to be conflated with them. per wayne & co, their characters are not them.

tbh block nsfw if you want. it’s good to know where your personal boundaries are and curate your online experience accordingly. but quit spreading misinfo about the crew and for the love of god, don’t harass people who do make (tagged/warned! not in the main tag! consensual, adult, and otherwise harmless!) nsfw. come on.

ok, wonderful. just wanted to make sure we’re all on the same page and being mature, considerate, informed people in this little corner of the internet. happy pride!
