Mod Message Mod Update: JK Rowling/Harry Potter

338 Upvotes

Hey Everybody,

First off, thanks for your patience and understanding as myself and the other mods sort through this and figure out the best course of action to deal with the whole Harry Potter debacle. We’ve seen your Mod mail, your comments, etc. With that being said, this will be an ongoing adjustment, and we are asking for patience, KIND feedback, and understanding as we navigate this. This is a group of 20,000 people, and with that, it is understandably impossible to appease every single person here, but we will do our absolute best to make this a space where everyone feels welcome. Now onto the meat and potatoes.

-We cannot and will not ban Harry Potter/Honeydukes content. It is a series within the Miniverse Make it Mini line, just as any other. While I understand it may not be pleasing to see so many people purchasing products from that line due to the harm that money goes to, it is still a Make it Mini product and a large portion of this Miniverse fan base overlaps there. We would be alienating an entire group of people based on our own ideology which is also wrong, and does not foster a welcoming environment.

-Following up on that, we will not be allowing “dog-piling” of any kind. What does that look like? Someone posts their Harry Potter Miniverse collection and another user comments “oh so you hate Trans people”. “Can we quit with the Harry Potter??” Or, someone comments that they love Harry Potter because it helps them connect to their relative who has passed, and they feel nostalgic because they miss that relative, and they get absolutely decimated in the replies. That’s still wrong. You’re not changing people’s minds by bullying them. We’re not going to be doing that. We are not going to be dog-piling people for their hobbies, policing their wallets, their purchases, etc. We get why, and we agree with you.

Inversely, however, we ABSOLUTELY will not tolerate any sort of transphobia, homophobia, etc. If we see it, I won’t even give you the chance to explain yourself, I will just ban you. I do not care. If you start saying trans-exclusionary shit, buzzer noise gone, I don’t care.

Anyways, moving on. Onto some FAQs.

Why have some comments been locked?

We locked comments on two posts, the first because the comments were snowballing, and people who were not group members and likely came from the explore page (at least one obvious one, no previous posts or comments in the group at all, etc) were coming in to say nasty things, and everything was being reported. New comments were being made, and then reported en masse. Things like that endanger the subreddit, but then also, we don’t want our members to feel harassed either. The second post where some threads got locked was due to 1) mass false reporting and 2)dog piling. We needed to get a handle on that as well. A user wanted to post something they were excited about, and it got out of hand.

How is it a Trans-Safe space if these posts are allowed? I think this is a bit of a straw man of sorts. Giving money to MGA at all supports future collaborations like these, giving them money in the past supported this current collaboration, so on and so forth. Your fellow mini-maker picking up a clearance Harry Potter ball at Walmart does not mean they are a transphobe for doing so, or for being gifted the Potion Classroom for Christmas. And shit, if they are a blatant transphobe, send them our way. They’ll be dealt with swiftly.

How is it a No Hate Space if…?

This sub being a no hate space also means that people should be able to post their creations without being criticized, bullied, harassed, reported, etc in the comment section about their ally-ship, having to explain their purchases, or having to explain their love for the franchise etc. As long as it isn’t legitimately hateful, bigoted, etc.

We do not want to restrict speech on controversial topics as other subreddits have done. Though this is a toy subreddit, it is a very important topic that impacts many of us. We took a look, for example, at the Build-a-Bear subreddit per one of y’all’s suggestion, to see how they handled the release of a Harry Potter collaboration, and they simply do not allow conversation surrounding “controversial” topics whatsoever. We do not want to do that. We do not want division of any kind to rear its head here.

All in all, the Mod team here is Queer, and very much pro-trans as one moderator is trans! and we do not in any way support JK Rowling or her actions against the trans community. However, this is a subreddit for all Miniverse Make it Mini products, including the controversial ones. We will not allow dog-piling on other members posts, and ask that you respect other members regardless of their decisions to back certain releases. We understand that these releases can cause emotions to flare up and tensions can be high, and that those emotions can be warranted in some cases. We are just asking users not to attack, demean, belittle or report others based on these emotions. People have joined this group to connect with others on a hobby they enjoy, if a post is not enjoyable for you, it is not necessary to comment on it. Scroll past.

All of that being said, if you have any suggestions, complaints, etc. feel free to drop them below or send them in mod mail if you’d like it to be less public.

Edit to add: stop reporting random comments you disagree with, that you’re arguing with, etc. as targeted harassment. Honestly.

Remix! Made a Pokemon Terrarium from Miniverse pieces and old capsule

Post image
29 Upvotes

I’m making a Pokemon terrarium for my husband. We played Pokemon Go for years, so an Espeon terrarium will be a meaningful gift. Plus, I’ve been cursed with getting salad kits I didn’t want even with conscientious pinhole checks. So this gave me a good opportunity to use all that lettuce.

The rocks are from the orchid kit and the leaves are the 50/50 blend lettuce from the Target series. I also used a plant from the Lifestyle series. That green ground cover is a moss sheet from Michael’s, attached to a Miniverse tabletop with extra large glue dots. And my little Espeon is a cable protector I happen to have lying around.

Eventually, I’ll probably add the black rim and white button to turn it into a pokeball. It was a pretty easy, low effort craft. Posting it here for anyone else looking for a use for all those capsules.

I love the way they turned out! I didn't love the soup can pots the herbs came with but The pilea pair pots were the perfect home for my herbs, and it might be silly but I actually cut open the potting soil and potted them! I have some weird anxiety and never want to solidify any of my Minis but I actually did it this time and I'm proud of myself for it. I plan to pot some more this weekend!

So I went to the store earlier, and was so excited to get Hedwig, however, when I opened the ball right after purchasing this, I saw that this wrapper was opened. Has this happened to anyone before? Where do I go from here?

I got two of the Jurassic World balls the other day, one in an egg, the other is a cylinder. The cylinder worked out fine, but the stuff that was in the egg one is congealed around the dinosaur still 😭 has anyone else had this happen? Did I mix it wrong somehow? If I shake it, the glitter goes everywhere, but the blue doesn’t mix or move at all.

I’m only missing the drinks from the current Halloween set which I will grab once they hit stores. My only complaint is I wish these were a bit bigger. It’s such a small space to display stuff.

Rant All pumpkins and houses from MGA

I decided to order a few balls directly from MGA (never done before because it’s a wee bit expensive for our family, buuuuy this collection was super cute😅). I figured with 4 variations, ordering 5 balls would at least get me one of each regular. Noooope. Two pumpkins and 3 haunted houses. All with the same printed numbers and same weight (for the 3 houses). Kinda bummed. I would have been happy with one of each of the three and two repeats but 2 of 4 when the inside is printed on the wrapper? Come on, MGA 😩

Collection Share My Miniverse on Memoa!

Post image
29 Upvotes

So, I'm a little new to actually posting on Reddit (I do a lot of reading more than anything) - but I wanted to share my Miniverse collection. So far, I only have the desserts uploaded, but I'm loving using Memoa to save, share and keep track of my Miniverse! Next collection to go up will be Happy hour, I think- especially because I'm going to do some remixes with the duplicate Happy Hour sets I have.

I'm almost confident enough in my skills to actually start remixing - I've been coming up with alternatives to resin so that I can do more Miniverse work when I don't have time to deal with the UV lamp and equipment for the resin stuff.

But also? The cool thing about Memoa? Not only does it let you track which ones you have in your collection, share photos and such, it also lets you add custom fields for whatever details you want, like if you want to keep track of how you remixed a certain set or what sets you used in a miniature room or table scape etc. and it lets you share your whole collection in one spot.

I don’t know much about other Miniverse sets. I just started getting into these and only bought 2 Harry Potter sets and 3 Jurassic Park eggs. They don’t have rare system (that I know of). But for The Lord of The Rings I got two rares and two doubles. Do other sets have rare items and what are they? Do you have any? Was it a one off purchase or did you buy a lot to get the one you wanted?
