New VC: Real Talk Lounge for Deep Discussions
:New_icon1::New_icon: #🕯️・.ıl Real Talk Lounge lı. Voice Channel! :Sparklies:
The #🕯️・.ıl Real Talk Lounge lı. is a space to respectfully discuss heavier topics that may not be appropriate to discuss in a general VC.
These topics include:
- Politics & controversial current events
- Real-life issues (jobs, relationships, family, finances)
- Mental health struggles
- Sharing personal experiences/stories that may involve trauma (not trauma-dumping) or any of the topics above
Think of it as #☕・real-talk-forum but a VC version! :b_atiffany:
Why tho? :huh:
We want to continue fostering a community were everyone feels welcomed and comfortable. We've noticed that VCs have a tendency to get dominated by heavy topics, resulting in others feeling uncomfortable or excluded. We made the #🕯️・.ıl Real Talk Lounge lı. to redirect those conversations out of the common areas into a dedicated space.
If Jimmy came to the Game Studio for good vibes and gaming, he wouldn't like if Johnny and Jacob came in and started debating about politics...
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE :b_asabrina:
- Do consistent :Sparklies: vibe checks :Sparklies: and move VCs when necessary (read the room y'all) :b_awendy:
- Utilize #🫧・.ıl Bubble VC Generator lı. (LV 5+) if you don't want to use #🕯️・.ıl Real Talk Lounge lı.
- DO NOT use this as a trauma dumping space
- Adhere to our community etiquette guidelines: https://discord.com/channels/1278253523619807233/1278433894823104643/1318736497498783835
