Art Fight attack on @jayrockin !!!! The Art Fight website doesn't support audio and made me crunch my animation way down so here's the high quality audio version with EXTRAS!

Ever since they mentioned that Bip moves like 2D cutout character I knew I had to rig and animate them and Art Fight was the perfect excuse to do just that!

The audio is edited by @dracogriff and I decided to animate along to it here since this the closest to a voiceclaim Bip has. I added the subtitles in as similar a way as I could to how it's done in the comics (which is a good thing since I only just found out Art Fight doesn't do audio anyway.)

A lil low quality BTS of the rig and how it moves and functions under the cut! I didn't label any bones because this was a quick one-man project and... too lazy. But you get a good idea of what does what just from me messin with it.

Here's the rig at work! They were artworked, rigged and animated in Moho 14 within about 2 days total if I was working on it full time.

and a lil show of their expressions which i forgot to include in the first vid

Hope you like it as much as I liked working on it!

Lesbians dressed as clowns disrupted a "gender-critical" panel last month at University College London. Participants were surprised when trans and cis dykes from The Dyke Project obstructed the proceedings while in cheerful clown attire. Julie Bindel, one of the panelists, has been a major voice against trans, bisexual, and SWer rights. The protesters chanted, “you’re not feminists, you’re all clowns!” while interrupting her. More of these protests, please! Read the full story on Dazed.

Waking up from your decade long enchanted sleep to learn that, not only is sharing your True Name with the fae okay now, but there's actually a rule against using a false name when entering the faerie market.

Your friends admit that this causes some problems— it's way easier to fall victim to a false deal, or get stolen away now— but everyone goes to the fae market to buy their goods so what are you gonna do? Not see your friends? Go out of your way to buy more expensive stuff from the human market? Yeah right.

Also yes they still perform their light-footed fluttering dances under the silvery light of the full moon, but in order to get in you have to first watch the dancers perform two short plays about why you should shop at certain local businesses. Also if you want to talk about the performance afterwards then you need to trade them your True Name, your home address, your date of birth and your personal interests.

You do this so that the fae can this information on a scroll and give it to local business owners.

Another part of the deal they broke is that nobody may talk negatively about those businesses within the market walls. In fact, your friends say, the enchantment is so effective that it's very difficult to talk negatively about anything at all.

“I know it sounds un-good,” your friend admits. “But there are loopholes.”

“In retrospect,” another friend says, “I wish the town had voted un-yes to teaching the fae about money.”

“On the plus side,” the first friend says, “I hear the market is investing in one of those enchanted statues that responds to questions with deliberately ambiguous riddles, so long as you trade it your memories of secondary school.”

“Oh, cool. Is that why they're burning down the library?”

You wonder if it's too late to go back to sleep.

today one of the student workers at my job told me that if she’s struggling to remember something important in her course work she’ll wait until her professor asks a question related to that topic during a lecture and then she’ll purposefully raise her hand and answer it wrong because, and I quote, ‘the combined shame and embarrassment of getting an answer wrong in front of more than a hundred of your peers will make sure that you’ll never forget what the right answer actually was’ and if that is not the most next level balls to the wall bonkers extrovert thing I’ve ever heard then I don’t know what is

Why I go so hard for Pearline

Jayme Lawson's face card, talent and screen presence aside, I fucking love Pearline. Two years ago, I made this criteria to help guide my consumption because Lord knows I have endured enough mediocre, thoughtless slop. Ryan Coogler's writing, in regards to cheating ass Pearline, meets every single one of these points.

My checklist (Inspired by Helen Young's book on Whiteness in Fantasy)

[ ] Are there black female characters?

[ ] More than one?

[ ] Is she three-dimensional? Does she have strengths, goals, an interesting past? Pet peaves? Complaints? Blind spots? Flaws? Sexuality? Friends? Humour? Family drama? [ ] Are they killed off? Is their death nuanced? Do they die with dignity? Are they mourned? Are they remembered after their death? [ ] Are there black women behind the scenes? As researchers, producers or writers?

Shout out to Voice Memos for the void. She helped me clarify why Sinners hits so hard. It's not just Pearline, or Annie, or Beatrice, or Mrs Moore.

Its the little girl that Smokes teaches to negotiate.

Its the Clarksdale, Mississipi journalist that attended the local screening that asked fantastic questions.

Its the real musicians that elevated the soundtrack, like Brittany Howard and the McCalla sisters.

Its Zinzi Coogler, its Ruth E. Carter, its Hannah Beachler. He respects Black women and represents them beautifully in his work

I am here for art that respects this criteria. Here is a snapshot of what I'm fucking with heavily rn:

Arcane, The Old Guard, Sinners, The Sea Beast, Rye Lane, Duster, The Gilded Age, Moonlight, Sister Act, The Haunting of Bly Manor and Titans

like, okay, consent does literally just mean agree. which is what enables this little rhetorical trick. because there's all this cultural emphasis on sexual consent, which is just expressed as consent, a lot of phrases whose intended meanings are "rape is bad" can be taken literally to mean "i should get to agree to everything that happens in my vicinity."

r/trans situation is crazy

Apparently reddit is having a transandrophobia drama, and naturally I'm gonna tell you about it. I will not be naming or linking any post or user because it's messy enough over there. If you're able to find them yourself, I expect you to engage responsibly. Also if you have an issue with the term 'transandrophobia' please do feel free to pay extra attention to this post.

About a week ago, someone makes a post on r/trans (the trans subreddit) about raising awareness for issues trans men/mascs face. OP himself is a trans man. He also posts the same text on r/lgbt. He brings up the horrifying rates of SA (which are already quite high for trans people in general, but transmascs do experience them at the same or higher rates than transfems; sample size is too small to draw explicit conclusions and this isn't the oppression olympics), the omission of trans men when bathroom bills are discussed, the difference in DIY HRT accessibility, and touches on a handful of other topics he's noticed, especially the lack of consideration and awareness for transmascs. The post gets the usual round of mixed responses all discussions of transmisandry get.

And then it gets removed.

The post was already up for a week by the time a moderator removes it for being "divisive". The subreddit does have a rule that prohibits divisive posts (although its an open secret no one ever reads subreddit rules), you may see the rule here:

Personally I find that an odd rule to have, but large communities often require stricter rules to keep moderation possible. I can see the problem of needing to moderate hostile discussions on top of a 600k people. However, it's incredibly ironic to apply it to a post about transmasc voices being ignored or silenced.

Naturally, both the OP and users who have seen the post are outraged about this. OP contacts the moderation team and is met with nothing but dismissal and hostility. OP makes several posts to call this out, which are promptly deleted from r/trans. Posts from other members voicing their support are also deleted.

A mod (in an unofficial capacity) tells OP his "bitching here isn't helping". I should not have to explain to the moderator of trans subreddit that 'bitching' isn't an appropriate term to use against a trans man. I'm aware many transmascs do not mind the term (myself included) or consider it an immediate attack on their gender, but it's highly inappropriate to drop in a derogatory fashion like this. Consider this similar to the "oh I call everyone dude" discussion transfems have to put up with but with like, a slur. After having the issue explained to her, the mod in question does apologize for it, although the apology post has since been deleted.

The original post, along with another post retelling the events, is also removed from r/lgbt, which does not have a rule prohibiting divisive posts. The removal of supportive posts continues.

The drama reaches r/ftm, a subreddit specifically for transmascs, where a mod writes a summary of the events and the team firmly restates their support for OP, all transmascs and trans men. They also call out the mod team of r/trans for messaging them about the situation with a request to essentially confirm that OP was doing oppression olympics.

And then, for some reason, enters r/AnarchyChess.

r/AnarchyChess is a subreddit dedicated to shitposting about chess. It also has a high percentage of queer users. Several of them encourage OP to post his story and original post on their subreddit as well, and he does. This technically violates the rules of r/AnarchyChess, since all posts are supposed to be about, you know, chess.

The head moderator of r/trans makes an appearance, asking for a little more patience as she sorts this out. She herself wasn't involved in the decision-making process, but accepts responsibility as she's in charge of the whole group and handpicked the mod team. She reinstates the original post and announces to temporarily disable the rule about "divisive" posts, so posts about the situation and support for OP are no longer removed.

Meanwhile, the (actually rule breaking) post on r/AnarchyChess is not removed by moderators. Instead, it is stickied to the front page.

A moderator of r/AnarchyChess comes forward to give the mod team's thoughts on the matter. They do not consider the response by the r/trans head mod sufficient and make several points about the moderation structure: Even if this was the work of one bad actor (unlikely), that means said actor feels comfortable enough to take action against trans men without expecting any sort of consequence. (As of writing, this is a correct assumption, as no mod has been removed from the team as far as I can tell) The post also calls out a pretty important detail: The r/trans moderation team has a single transmasc moderator, and zero binary trans men. Whether that's intentional or not, it's certainly relevant to a situation where the voices of transmascs go unheard. How can a subreddit be expected to properly support all trans people, if a sizable group doesn't get to weigh in on moderation? During the entire debacle, OP had also applied as a moderator for r/trans in an effort to mend fences and solve that imbalance. The application was not well received. The r/AnarchyChess mod herself also posits that the removals from r/trans and r/lgbt likely stem from the same moderator using an alt account. Alt accounts are allowed on reddit, and it's relatively common for moderators to use them to avoid harassment. However, she points out that one of these alts also moderates the r/ftm subreddit. Going back a bit, we recall that the r/trans mods asked the r/ftm mods for support, which would just be,,, themselves? Do keep in mind these are allegations for now. She also explains that she has reached out to the OP who shared his messages with the r/trans mods. She posts them with his permission, and they do not look good, I'll tell you that much.

That's roughly where we're at.

r/AnarchyChess is now a bastion of trans rights and potentially the most trans positive subreddit until the moderation issues are resolved. r/trans4every1 was also created in response. Shoutout to the top comment on OP posting in r/AnarchyChess:

It has been less than 24 hours since post deletion, by the way.

So, what has happened on r/trans has me deeply troubled as a trans woman. There's a lot I want to say, and this has very much affected my views of the community. I'll maybe make a much bigger, in-depth post about it later when I get my ducks in a row. We'll see. In the meantime, I want to be absolutely fucking blatant, blunt, and upfront about this: The trans community includes trans men. It includes transmascs. It includes anyone who considers themselves trans. If you make a safe space for the transcommunity? it has to include them. If it doesn't, you're not making a safe space for the trans community.

You're making a shrine to your ego.

The moment you start splitting people off? The moment you start making them easier to hurt? Even if you are my sister? Then you become a danger not only to the people I care about, but to me as well. What happened on r/trans was absolutely disgusting and it fills me with an anger I have rarely experienced before in a way I'm not sure I can put into words.

But believe me, I'm going to try.

[cumulativechaos]

I know the Reddit situation is extremely disheartening, but I wanted my fellow trans men to see this. In my many years of being in online trans spaces, I have never seen such an overwhelming outpouring of love towards trans men — and from people all across the trans spectrum.

I have a sincere feeling that we are going to come out of this with raised awareness towards transandrophobia and with more people vocally supporting the transman/masc community.
