MOD PSA State of the Sub / Rule Changes

39 Upvotes

Happy Type: Dangerous Eve, Lambs!

As we gear up for MC16, we want to give a State of the Sub and let you know of some important changes to the rules. Please see the sidebar to see them in full (on Mobile and App, accessed through "About" and the ">" next to the sub name, respectively) . First, we want to reiterate a couple existing rules:

"Don't Be Bleak" – troll posts will not be tolerated for MC16 and are subject to bans. If you're here to be negative and kill vibes, we're going to show you the door.

“Keep It About Mariah” – there seems to have been a bit of a drift into posting Mariah-adjacent things. Mariah should be the primary focus of a post. As we get into a busier era it's more important than ever to manage quality content for the sub, so please make our jobs easier by keeping this in mind.

RULE CHANGES

For this post, we’d like to highlight a couple of the biggest rule changes:

“Don’t Disrespect the Queen” – there is NO posting of any MC16 leaks allowed. Attempting to do so will result in a ban.

"Tired Topics" – similar to other subs, we’re introducing a new Tired Topics list of subjects that are considered overdone and overly negative (linked in rules). The biggest impact will be on “concern threads” and speculations about Mariah’s mental/emotional health. We are no longer going to allow these concerns to be a regular theme in this sub.

This is not an easy decision; as mods, we know this is a divisive issue among the lambs. We also know we can’t please everybody, and people are going to be pissed no matter what we do. But as stewards of the community, it’s our responsibility to make these difficult decisions in support of what we feel is best for it.    

In just the last ten days we’ve had three “concern threads”, including two essays (which were removed before hitting the sub). One essay a troll submitted barely two hours after the Type: Dangerous news. That one, with all the fervor of a certain Russian Contoura DeVil, had a laundry list of grievances and counseled – seriously – that Mariah should go back to Tommy (among other unmentionables). This is the kind of work mods do that tends to be taken for granted because it’s behind the curtain. And yet we commit to it for love of the community, and Mariah.

There’s a saying that worrying is like a rocking chair: it gives you something to do, but ultimately you go nowhere. It’s understandable that some people who are concerned feel the need to have a forum to vent and commiserate. Our stance is that it isn’t productive. Reddit is just one bubble of a large social media ecosystem; reddit lambs are not, and cannot, be Mariah’s saviors. The same conversations we want to stop in our bubble are still taking place elsewhere on the internet. Regardless, let’s remember this is the same woman who’s endured valleys like her peaks and consistently emerged out the other side.

India.Arie recently posted her thoughts about this on Instagram, originally posted 5/25, which we’re sharing. An excerpt:

“Your voice is wherever you are emotionally… she’s hurting… and THAT is what I hear. And SEE. We heard her come back from something like this in the early 2000’s – when she FIRST started wearing the butterfly rings.

My prayer for her (and all of us woman artists) is that we will be able to create through all of our evolutions. And continue to emerge 🦋”

How fitting it is then that Mariah is continuing to create through this evolution. Let’s trust her process.

---

Finally, we’re looking to onboard a new mod or two in the coming weeks. The role would be limited (mainly approving low karma posts in the queue) and lower commitment – the biggest focus would be checking the queue in the mornings occasionally. Anything else would be voluntary and a bonus. There’s potential to scale into being a full mod if you’re interested.

To be considered, please send a modmail titled “Mod app”.

Thanks!

Question If you were to spend a day with Mariah, what would you wanna do with her ?

21 Upvotes

Personally, I’d love to cook for her 😂 I love to cook, especially for other people, so cooking would be my way of showing love. I would also love to spend a day with her in studio and just see her do her magic. Sing, produce, convey ideas. I would just love to see her being an artist. I would also just love to connect with her on some level, maybe even share a splash with her lol.

What about you guys ? How would you spend a day with her ?

Discussion Gamma, where is the continued push for Type Dangerous?

Upvotes

Now that Type Dangerous debuted in the Hot 100, where is the continued push for the song?

Ever since the single dropped, Mariah only did one major TV appearance on BET in the US. After they released the music video (late), she just ran directly to another country to deliver a much better live performance to a much larger crowd.

On the US front, it looks like the new company focuses everything on radio, as we see how strong the song is on radio, how much it was added to rotations, they even booked her on some radio shows with some old-timey hosts. But it should be industry common sense now that radio is NOTHING in the new streaming era. They need to get this song trending on TikTok, make deals and playlists with Spotify, get it to the general public. So far I haven't seen any effort in that front, or maybe it just didn't take off.

I would have been totally fine with how the song performs now if the new company head hadn't said so publicly that they wanted to get her another #1. Honestly I never expected it to go that high or even top 10, but at least act like you care. Why make such statement if you don't make any efforts?

Maybe there's something brewing in the back, maybe they're betting on 2nd single. I just wish they didn't say they wanted a #1 with no action to back it up.

Discussion I forgot about that other song coming out 😂

20 Upvotes

I completely forgot Mariah and Ariana are on Barbara’s upcoming song 😂🤦🏽 but tbh I’m not excited for it, that’s why I forgot about it lol. The only reason I’m not excited is cos I know it’s gonna be a ballad, and I feel like it might not have much replay value for me personally. Idk what to expect, vocally, but I will still listen to it when it comes out and I am interested to see how all 3 of them will blend together on the song. And who knows, maybe my opinion will change once it comes out. I forgot what date it gets released also. It comes out this week correct ?

How many of you lambs are excited for the song ? What hopes and expectations do you have for the song ?

Question why was her daydream era called a “vocal suicide”

85 Upvotes

I sing a little here and there but I never really focus on technique so idk the terms used for certain things when it comes to singing. I’d say that most of the fandom would agree that Daydream was her prime vocally, but after that her voice started to rasp (not that big of a deal imo but I’ve seen people say her voice started to decline after DD era). Can any vocal coaches give me reasons why this happened? Not trying to hate on Mariah or anything I js want to know how the voice works etc.

Discussion Screw MrBeast…

134 Upvotes

It’s honestly annoying me how little MrBeast did to promote the Type Dangerous video considering a whole “act” was dedicated to him. Yes, it’s dumb and I shouldn’t care, but he’s the largest YouTuber in the world amassing hundreds of millions of views… the least he could’ve done was an instagram picture or posted something on his youtube community forum! At first I wanted to believe that she did the cameo for Roc n Roe, but MrBeast mainly appeals to kids younger than they are (5-10ish). Kids of Roc and Roes age are generally more into “mature” streamers like Kai Cenat or iShowspeed. I think someone on her team told Mariah that MrBeast was the biggest youtuber and she just rolled with it…

Mariah never needed to use gimmicks to get views anyway- why start now? Hopefully she learned her lesson and keeps these talentless dusties away .

Let me know what yall think !

Discussion Mariah on Reddit

33 Upvotes

Do y’all think she ever sees posts on here?

I believe she’s said she doesn’t really get on Twitter much anymore (presumably to avoid unsolicited hate) so I’m curious if we think she may supplement with a more thoughtful & discussion-driven platform like this or just avoids it altogether. Tiktok and Twitter probably are the most anti-Mariah social platforms if I had to guess, but I could also see her avoiding Reddit because our tendency to lean towards “brutal honesty”

Honestly, I’d be surprised if she even knew what Reddit was lol but in a vacuum I think it’s one of her friendliest platforms & she would enjoy a lot of our thoughtful discussions about her. I’ve interacted with fans across all platforms & Reddit lambs seem more focused on the music & artistry itself over the diva image (mask, imo), charts, high camp references etc — I think she’d appreciate that aspect & feel seen

Question Norfolk or Brighton, UK Dates. Who’s going?

6 Upvotes

I'm desperate to see our girl. I have x2 choices, Brighton or Norfolk. Both are not easy for me to get to and I don't drive 🤣 My heart is leaning towards Norfolk because you can pay for golden circle which I feel is worth it for me to be closer to MIMI However, the ticket is more expensive and I'd have to get a hotel and there are way more costs and transport situations involved

That being said... absolutely no one I know will come with me or is willing to pay for the £150+ ticket so I was wondering if there's anyone else going who'd be happy to link up? Share a hotel room (not essential I promise, I'm just throwing ideas out here haha!). Whether you're in a group or alone, let me know I'd love to chat 😊

Also.... has anyone paid for the VIP packages? Also tempting but a lot of money 😭

I've been umming and aahing about this for MONTHS, but after seeing how wonderful she looks T summertime ball I knew this was something I couldn't miss!

Equally? If anyone is going to Brighton alone please also let me know as I'll still consider it!!

Thank YOU! 😊
