died and came back exactly the same but something was so so so wrong with me before and now I have an excuse to really lean into it

i said this in the tags of a previous reblog but i need non-rvbs to understand just how terrible the shutdown of RT is.

this is not just a case of a group of fandom weirdos being overdramatically sad about rvb or AH ending, this is a group of people angrily trying to hold onto something ephemeral that shouldnt be ephemeral.

the RT site will be wiped out of existence on the 15th of may. yes, okay, there is a logical argument that if it's losing that much money then it should go down. but it's not just the site. RT have said there's no guarantees that even the youtube accounts will remain by next year. there's a lot of content that isnt on the youtube channels now. there's even more content that was never on the youtube channels.

to people who arent into rvb, or any of RT's content, this should be a warning. this can happen to any media.

this is why media preservation is important. make backups of the stuff you love. make backups of the stuff you dont love. make backups of the stuff you hate. its important to somebody, and its important to society.

media is a reflection of people's thoughts, their hopes, their dreams. to stand and watch media be irreversibly removed because it is deemed "unworthy" is to go against the concept of media creation itself.

yes a lot of RT content is shadowed by the company's underlying toxic culture, but you cannot argue that this company and the content they made is responsible for so many great things.

this isnt a fandom thing. this is a media preservation thing.

Libraries are the fucking best. You can just go there. And sit. And read. And do other stuff but I'm reading atm so that's my example. And it's free.

I am looking neither respectfully nor disrespectfully. I gaze without recognition of your form, and without understanding.

Jessica: *raises Paul to be a messiah, lets Alia be possessed by her ancestral memories*

Paul: *is a messiah*

Alia: *gets possessed by ancestors*

Jessica: I can’t believe you two.

i make a lot of posts to the tune of "you're allowed to be horny btw" because it's becoming increasingly clear that adults being sexual in (clearly marked and blockable!) spaces is being stamped out and made out to be evil both legislatively and in the moral zeitgeist, especially among younger folks. not even in the "wait to be a horny adult online when you're An Adult" way, just an ingrained puritanical outrage response to *anything* that isn't chaste wholesome perfect all-ages allowed. it's unnerving and scary.
