F.A.Q.

"Where did the name '0hzarks' Come from?"
"Ozark" as a UN was taken pretty much everywhere, and I wanted to keep something that was recognizably similar to it."What is your orientation/gender?"
I mostly just tell people "Queer", "Dude", or "Whatever Makes the Joke Funnier". I also collect labels like candy: please see my full pronouns page for more."What's your Master's Thesis on?"
The paper focuses on the idea of the audience in the context of EverymanHybrid. It proposes that the forms of audience and world interaction present within this series highlight a novel way in which the audience becomes a character within the narrative. This merging of the audience and character into a singular entity within the story highlights modes and methods of storytelling through the story's ARG mechanics. It also discusses the implications of privacy and personhood that are challenged when the audience becomes a public-facing character. Historical context is provided for EverymanHybrid's placement as a "central hub" of digital horror of the 2010s via collaborations with other series from that time. I also address the nature of accessibility and representation in these narratives and discuss their implications to see whose stories are being told or capable of being heard."Why am I Blocked/Do you have a DNI?"
I heavily curate my online experience. My block lists on most sites are several thousand long, and I block if I see content I do not like. Sometimes it may have been excessive/a mistake, so if you feel I blocked you without reason do feel free to send a messenger to me and I'll probably unblock. I don't really have a DNI, but I do have a list that details what will cause me to block/mute/filter you or the content you post."I saw Slenderverse/Marble Hornets on your Interests. Do you also like Creepypasta?"
Sort of. I am a very distanced fan and only want to engage with it with close friends. I was treated in deeply harmful ways from 2010-2015 in the fandom by both adults and underage peers (exposure to irl gore, child porn, targeted harassment, etc.), but it has been long enough since this that I can look at things with a fresh perspective. I don't have an issue with Creepypasta art/writing, but I have hard lines of discomfort with those who glorify abuse or talk about sexual topics with children. Please respect my boundaries on this, and I encourage you to block me if you can't."Are you an Anti/Proship?"
These terms have been watered down and misused on both sides, so I will be as clear as possible on my thoughts: I do believe that fiction can affect and/or reflect the way we act in reality, but this is not always a 1:1. Fiction is oftentimes used to explore concepts we consider abhorrent or amoral in real life, and to say it never or always affects/reflects reality is reductive. Depiction of something is not necessarily promoting what is shown, but from both a fan and creator perspective it is important to be critical of the things we might be normalizing or perpetuating consciously or unconsciously based on the content we make and send into the public sphere. I do not condone the creation or the support of art/writing that glorifies underage, incestuous, pedophilic, non-consensual, zoophilic, bigoted, or otherwise abhorrent content, and I will block you if I see you doing this. I do not want to engage in this drama in any form. Full Stop. Not interacting with people who make me uncomfortable is my choice and something I will continue to do for my sake."Do you Kin?"
No, but I have been 'Government Assigned' some. I've compiled them here.

Filtering Info

I introduce this list understanding there may be times I or my friends engage/talk about this content. I understand people may have engaged with some of these when they did not know any better, and I understand many did not do so out of malice. However, the things listed below are there because I personally do not like them or they make me uncomfortable, and I am someone who wants to curate their online experience. Some of these things may also break the T.O.S. of the sites they are on, and I will report them accordingly for the safety and comfort of other users.Also, not everything on this list is something I block for, but everything here I at least filter or mute.-----
