TomatusYT

## Who is TomatusYT?

**TomatusYT** is a Halo Clan Community content creator and leader of **The House of Cards**. Although he's been a member of the Halo Clan Community since 2010, his identity during the **Golden Age** of the community still remains a mystery. After the community devolved into toxicity and degeneracy during the **Discord Era**, Tom resurfaced in an attempt to save Halo: Reach and preserve the old ways of the community as soon 343 Industries ported Reach to the Master Chief Collection. However, he was met with extreme pushback from the community as most clans wanted to turn Halo: Reach into the toxic hellscape that Halo 5 had already become thanks to them.

## "The Boogeyman"

Tom made his appearance in the community with a clear goal for a positive future, which inevitably resulted in many toxic individuals in the community trying to test him and make efforts to see him fail. Unfortunately for them, Tom had anticipated this and had planned out how to deal with any potential moves his opponents may make in an attempt to get in his way. From the light response of IP pulling to the extreme response of things... best not mentioned, Tom was willing and able to put down anyone who fought to see his vision of a bright future never come to be.

Tom had a "no fucks given" attitude and crossed lines with no hesitation. This resulted in the toxic degenerates of the Halo Clan Community to be scared of him, running away from any potential encounters with him or The House of Cards. The toxic degenerates of the Halo Clan Community talked a big game against Tom but as soon as Tom would show up or make a move against them, they would play the victim and cut all communication with him and his associates. This garnered Tom the nickname of **"The Boogeyman"** within his circles of the community; as the toxic degenerates were viewed like little kids saying that they weren't scared of the Boogeyman, only for the Boogeyman to appear and cause them to run off and hide like scared children would if they saw him.

Tom's associates would find it hilarious how all of the big bad names in the community were turned into nothing but victims in the mere presence of Tom, but Tom would find it upsetting because he just wanted everyone in the community to understand each other and be friends. Ultimately Tom would befriend some of the people who were initially terrified of him, but there's still a large portion of the community that's too scared or too stupid give Tom's vision of a positive future a chance.

## The Great Divide

Despite having a large portion of the Halo Clan Community against him and his vision of a positive future, Tom knew that there was still hope to restore the greatness of the Golden Age once again and instill the importance of friendship across the newer clans that dominated the community in his absence. In spreading the ideals of the House of Cards and their vision, Tom had divided the community into two sides.

### Tom's Side

The side that stood with Tom saw the people in this community as human beings that didn't deserve to be taken advantage of and targeted by the toxic degenerate clans in the community. There had been years of awful things happening to innocent people with little to no consequences for the perpetrators because all of the good people in the community weren't willing stoop to the level of the toxic clans and target them back. They believed that it was high time that these toxic clans started suffering the consequences for their actions against the nice people that wanted to just enjoy the game, and they saw Tom and the House of Cards as a necessary force in the community to get their hands dirty so nobody else had to. They knew that Tom and the House of Cards would only target those who committed heinous acts against others in the community, and were grateful for all of their efforts. Tom protected those who needed it and treated those who stood with him with the utmost compassion. This caused clans to slowly switch to Tom's side and share his vision of a bright future for everyone.

### The Other Side

The side that stood against Tom not only saw Tom as a threat to their power over the community, but also saw each other as expendable assets to be used for personal gain or political influence within the community as a whole. What Tom and the House of Cards stood for directly contradicted everything those big toxic clans had done to get their power, and they knew that if Tom's vision was to come to be, their power and influence in the community would cease to exist as everyone would be seen as equals. The toxic degenerates in the community did everything they could to keep their hierarchy of power over everyone else; but slowly as those in the community began to understand Tom and his goal for a positive future, the lower ranking individuals of said hierarchies began to side with Tom and feed him information from inside the toxic clans that opposed him with the overall goal of helping Tom's vision of friendship and understanding in the community to come to fruition.

## Failure to Censor Tom

The toxic degenerates of the Halo Clan Community did everything in their power to silence and censor Tom in an effort for his ideals to not be spread throughout the community. All of Tom's videos on YouTube began to be instantly deleted if they were shared. Toxic clans began putting orders out to block Tom so their members could not meet him or understand his true intentions. False rumors began to be spread around the community in an effort to cause people to misunderstand Tom and his message. An individual known as JohnsonIX even went as far as deleting the House of Cards Wiki Page on the original Wiki in an attempt to prevent the others in this community from knowing the truth about Tom and the House of Cards.

Ultimately, all of these attempts to silence Tom started to fail as Tom's platform was too big to ignore and he started catching the attention of other clans in the community anyway. Eventually Tom's movement began gaining traction and soon a plethora of clans began reaching out to Tom telling him that they agree with his vision and they want to support him. Tom's side had gone from a couple hundred supporters to thousands in the span of months as it began to snowball effect, and as Tom's movement grew, the people in the community were finally given hope for a better tomorrow.
