Yes, people do cry on their period not just because of hormones going rogue but my sister, for example, has endometriosis which means period is like living through hell for her. The suffering, the pain, we’ve had to call 999 almost every period for the last few years and it’s an awful journey that doesn’t seem to get better. I appreciate simstubers talking about their periods because having to work through this pain shouldn’t be normalised. To stay on topic though Deli has all the money in the world to get paid, professional help if her periods are that unbearable (as opposed to middle class people waiting and waiting in lines for the NHS just to be told to take a paracetamol) and she can also afford to just turn the comp off and tuck herself into bed whenever she pleases. It’s always a massive ick to me when people who make a massive living off youtube or instagram have the nerve to throw pity parties when they’ve got all the means necessary to sort their health issues out. Your privilege (and 500 dollar shoes) is showing

They most certainly did.
To me it comes across as if Deli thinks she somehow did James a favor. Her words when asked how they got together were "James wanted me to give him a chance, so I said let's give it a try" - hardly the most romantic way to put it. I think it resulted in a relationship where, as I previously said, the power dynamic is more in her favor. Whether the age difference has something with it, I don't know. It often seems that she loves being on the receiving end of the relationship and have the autonomy to focus on self-care and self-love more than anything else. There's nothing wrong with self-care, of course. But I think it gets used here as a covert synonym of "I'll do only what I want to do and my relationship is here to support it". You know those 5 types of love language? I feel Deli's would be acts of service and receiving gifts, while James' might be quality time.

Jovan from the sims community is blaming EA for him being horrible to his friends, for smoking and he says He is suffering with PTSD. Also has list of demands of EA which Include a $100,000 donation to charity.

I skimmed through most of this once I realised that the structure is all over the place and I’m confused
Did EA actually make any demands on this or was it just him putting too much pressure on himself?
I could maybe sort of see their POV if there was a contract with EA to produce certain content and meet certain criteria without allowing for breaks

I think this may be because he reported the next expansion leak. He did it before and I don’t think EA were too happy. He says he “has to “ report leaks.
But so much of it is vague. i have friends in the creator network and I’ve heard that they can get a short time ahead of a game release to make content and upload It but there is absolutely nothing that says they must Do it by x date. My friend gets codes but rarely covers the content before release, quite often it’s after release or they don’t bother covering the dlc at all.

I mean... She did that once. Years ago she bleeping guilted people into donating to her so she could go to a Sims camp (or some event they had - I thought they always paid for the travel for their shills, but I guess this one they didn't? Idk) and was telling them she couldn't afford it and guikted donations by saying if she couldn't go she wouldn't get to do meetups with them... Like... It was at that point I tossed her in the garbage bin bc that is disgusting. If you can't afford a trip, that's on YOU.
I can't bleeping afford a vacation but it's no one else's job to pay for it. Get a normal job or manage your money better if this isn't cutting it.
Agree. I might post on Twitter like "duck, my cramps suck today" but I'm not posting a crying selfie and staying home from work
Also... Random semi related story - a small Yter I watch, years ago was gone for like a week or two... Came back with an update video... Dad died... They didn't bleeping post selfies sobbing like "find out why I'm crying tomorrow guysssss" - they were just gone, dealing with tit and they came back and let people know what happened.
But these chucklefucks are over here posting sob stories with FAKE runny mascara (I can cry like a baby and my mascara doesn't look like that, stop it, that is so bleeping staged. And if your period and cramps are that bad that you can't even record a video, you're sure as tit not putting makeup on to lie on your couch like a potato) bc half the population doesn't ALSO bleeping bleedd monthly?? Get the duck out.
And rants about Deligracy being a dumbass aside... I came here to see if the Jovan drama was here
Like, I get that being part of the creator network might be stressful. I get that rolling out content might make you burnt out now and again... But HOLY bleeping tit did no one ever teach these people to be responsible for themselves?
EA did NOT make you lash out at people. They did NOT force you to do this job. Maybe their rules are bleeping bonkers but... It's YOUR responsibility to look at them and weigh the consequences to yourself in following those rules.
I mean, there's always a lot of nuance and I didn't read his huge letter bc, lord no. But... Blaming EA for not managing your own life is insanity. Your burn out is your responsibility and it's ok if you pushed yourself too far, but that's not EAs job to coddle you.
It's just so easy for people to jump on his side bc EA is a huge, sucky company, but like... He had plenty of points where I'm sure he was like "this is stressing me out, should I keep going?" and chose YES.... EA did not force you to keep saying yes and keep going. At some point you need to learn that YOU are responsible for YOURSELF.
And, now, I'm sure I missed out on some details bc I didn't read the long letter but... It sounds unhinged

From what I have heard about the Creator Network, there are different tiers to the creators. Top creators have more pressure and expectations than small creators. I wouldn't be surprised if EA made big creators adhere to a different contract than other creators. If you have 100,000's of people coming to you for their Sims news, you better have it posted and ready by the time the embargo lifts. That's how you make your money and if you are late, your audience will find another place to get their news. I've heard from many past and present Game Changers that the time to create content is very short. It used to be a week or a weekend before the pack released but the time has gotten shorter and shorter. That's what confused me about Game Changers doing "reviews" of packs. How can you review everything in the pack in two days? Spoiler Alert, you can't but you can use "review" as a nice buzzword to get a ton of views.
Back on topic, unless you are part of the super secret discord and have seen the contracts and heard EA's requirements for the Game Changers, all you can do is speculate. From what I have heard from creators who left the program, it was hell. Some people stick it out because they make good money and others flee like rats from a sinking ship.
I think that was the Simmers Meetup in 2016. Considering the event was created by Sims content creators and not the company, she had to pay her own way. I thought it was a bit disgusting to ask your fans for something frivolous like that however, there are a lot of creators on Twitch that ask their fans to send them to Twitchcon. Not saying it is right to ask your fans to fundraise a vacation for you, but it's part of the culture there. However, I remember Deli asking her fans to help her pay for a new car. That rubbed me the wrong way. You want a new car, you figure out how to bankroll it, not your fans.

Wait, WHAT ?!
SHE WHAT NOW ?
I haven't been following her for that long so I wasn't aware of all of this, I am shocked

Yeah, not the worst thing I've seen though. Remember Hurricane Harvey? Vixella made a video saying her parents and grandparents houses had flooded and she made a gofundme for them so her fans could help. I think her fans raised like $13,000. There was never any pictures of damage or any talk after that about clean up or updates. About 6 months later Vixella bought a house. Now, if you had tens of thousands of dollars in your bank account [enough for a down payment] why wouldn't you give that to your family? OR darker thought, since she set up the gofundme, she got her fans to pay for her house. Not accusing anyone of anything BUT this is quite the coincidence if you ask me. And then she showed off her house and talked about all the construction and changes she was paying to have done to the house. Something just doesn't add up here. You begged people to help your family but you turn around and buy a house PLUS pay for all these upgrades like demolishing a bathroom you thought was ugly. I never understood how rich people with privilege dare to ask others for help. Use your own pile of money to do it! That's why I don't watch any big Sims creators. They are all snakes.SHE WHAT NOW ?

There is different tiers you are right, but the top level ones don’t get less time, they get more time for reviews As they get access first.
land yes the GC discord is a cesspit from what I’ve been told!

I just read this and I’m SO irritated and disgusted by this guy. It’s a shame because i find him to be super reputable when it comes to leaks and providing info, but I will no longer support this guy. He is blaming EA for burn out even though HE DOESNT EVEN WORK FOR EA. He is literally making money and has created a business BECAUSE of EA. If it weren’t for them he wouldn’t have the sims to create content on. Maybe it’s because I am in accounting, but this guy has no place to say he is “burnt out” by a company he doesn’t work for. I am all for taking care of your mental health but he’s obviously prioritizing his career and business over his health and has no one to blame but himself. I am DISGUSTED by the fact that he thinks a large corporation like EA owes him a formal apology. For what??? They are a business. They are just doing their jobs. And a $100,000 donation to a charity? For what? As someone who is in accounting, I can almost guarantee they do make donations for write off purposes. No need to demand more out of them for absolutely no reason. And his demand for EA to get on his computer to see what his work load look like??? Why?? What do they care with what you do with YOUR business? Maybe you need to hire someone to help lighten your work load?
I truly can not believe what I have read. I can’t believe he is blaming EA for his mental health issues when HE DOESNT WORK THERE AND IS TECHNICALLY MAKING A HEALTHY LIVING AND BUSINESS OFF IF THEM. He should be THANKFUL his business is doing well because of EA.
I am not saying EA is perfect, but they are a business. And not only that, but they are a business that have nothing to do with The Sims Community. As a business, they owe us nothing and we owe them nothing. If there is a pack you don’t like, don’t buy it. If there is a game they release you aren’t interested in, don’t buy it. Gaming like any industry is subjective. Everyone has their own opinions and it is impossible for them to make everyone happy. If you aren’t happy, maybe create a business off of something that makes you happy. Not one that gives you “PTSD.”
I just can’t believe what I just read and can’t get over the audacity these sims content creators can have.

It’s actually comical
Near enough all the responses on twitter agree. This is his problem, not EAs

Oh boy. I skimmed the text and it very much reads like the rambling of someone hitting a manic episode who should have been kindly dissuaded from publishing it by a friend/family/doctor. The chap definitely seems to be going through something very, very bad, mental health wise (comments on Twitter suggest he may also have suffered a recent bereavement, which would certainly exacerbate or complicate certain existing psychological issues).
He seems to be projecting all his feelings, frustrations and unhappiness on EA as a sort of easy external target, instead of looking at himself to work out why he is lashing out and experiencing such extreme emotional swings. EA might have been an added point of stress if he was already feeling overwhelmed, but it cannot have been the root cause of the issues he is experiencing.
I sincerely hope he is working through all of this with a qualified doctor, and has a good support system in the real world to help him. I just feel sorry for him and for the people he lashed out at.
