so recently I have been becoming more and more interested in the idea of becoming a content creator for a fun hobby for personal fulfillment but I have a few concerns about my past behaviors and immaturity on other forums and dumb stuff I said and did in the past.
i just wanna ask if like those bad things I did are going to be detrimental to me? I mean I made these mistakes a while ago and i don’t know if this will come back at me and cancel me or something (then again I am never using twitter because of how awful most people there are anyways) so I just wanna know if these past mistakes are going to impact me.
now you probably wanna know what I did in the past year that has made me concerned and it’s mainly trolling on other forums or starting drama, and getting angry and saying some pretty mean stuff like to go kill yourself or typical baby rage (which I don’t do anymore and I’m not proud of my past self but I’ve moved from that and my life has been in some ways improving).
anyways I just wanna share these concerns with you guys because I trust that you can help gives some decent advice.
also if the moment ever does happen where for some dumb reason the kids that got me banned from that forum have some weird revenge vendetta to fill out (despite kinda already fulfilling it by getting me banned.) and tattling on me what should I do?
You don’t really need a contingency plan for everything, but I’ll humour you:
First off, changing your name will cover your tracks pretty well. Nobody knows your real name or face (I presume), so there’s no way they’ll recognize you with a different handle.
If, by some miracle, they DO recognize you, then you have two options:
1.) Apologize for the things that you said when you were a big dumb stinky baby 50 years ago and be all comedic about it. Unless your following has the same intelligence capacity as twitter, then they’ll probably understand and have a good laugh at the immaturity and stupidity of your attackers.
2.) Just brush it off. There is absolutely NO WAY to prove that you and that random forums person from 50 years ago were the same person.
As someone with a youtube channel hovering around 66 subscribers and 3000+ views all I want to say is nobody cares… yet. You should be accountable for your past actions but people change and you won’t be big enough to even get canceled for a long time(if you keep growing)

shameless plug ik)
In all seriousness though, I wouldn’t take it too seriously.
Unless you’ve done some really bad shit it won’t matter even if people figure out it was you by some chance.
Essentially this ^
Now I’ma go back to staring at my Bits Of Ethepthus series and internally venting about how relatively unnoticed it is… oh the pains of being a creater.
