#Maybe a rant

Some people are ridiculous about the control they have over members of a closed species xD

Somebody I follow was reselling some characters from a closed species (not gonna mention the name of the species or anything, I don't wanna cause any problems) and... The original creator wanted you to fill out and sign an TOS form to own one of their characters. And wait for them to accept said TOS to send the character to the new owner if it was sold. So, curious, I looked at the TOS expecting just basic stuff. But... No. They wanted to control everything about the character. Things like modifying ears or the tail (Like if they lost their tail, or an ear got nicked or cut off) requiring payment and art being made to be official. This makes some sense in an ARPG setting but this wasn't an ARPG. They even wanted to control what you did with said character in RP. If you RPed your character and in said RP, they ended up with a kid.... You have to pay for it even if it's just a one off thing in one RP or risk being banned from the species as a whole. ANY change, no matter how minute, required paying the creator of the species. There were limits on the lore and setting the character could be in. Fucking hell, at that point why make the species available at all if you want complete control over it?? They even want to control how much you sell the character for. Selling it for below the original price is a fucking bannable offense. Sheesh.

There's one species I absolutely want nothing to do with, even if I could afford to buy one. XD I don't want that exclusive cool-kids club bullshit. Fuuuuuck that! XD

Being a Sonic fan is so annoying, because we literally suffer from the biggest case of

"OH, SO WHEN I DO IT THERE'S A PROBLEM???"

Ever dude, every fan base does the thing of complaining about the thing on the design of a character, that they particularly don't like, crash bandicoot fans are always complaining about how crash doesn't look at all like his PS1 low poly self anymore, Mario fans were literally complaining about how Mario sounded like in the movie, and even they have problems with his design sometimes..

But the moment a sonic fan complains about the design of any sonic character everyone jumps in to make fun of the sonic fan who ever dared to look at a sonic character with an "this could be better" expression.

I think when someone says, "I can't watch this show because it has themes I cannot handle because I feel it was handled poorly by my personal standards based on my experience." The appropriate response is, "Okay, no worries. I won't talk about it then!" And not "You just haven't given it a real shot yet. Watch the first episode, and you'll love it!" Or even better! If someone says, "I don't want to watch this show. It makes me [uncomfortable, nervous, scared, triggered, etc]" It's not some personal attack for someone to not want to watch your current fav show or livestream or game or whatever. Not only that, but it's not an insult for someone to voice their concerns based on their experience with said themes in media. And no one has to explain themselves if they're uncomfortable w/ a piece of media, either.

they'll fund a genocide and let their poor regions be destroyed. don't fucking forgive them for that.

my hometown is completely gone from what pictures i can find of it, i have not heard from my family (including aunts, uncles, parents, one sibling, and a grandparent), and the infrastructure in the mountain communities is wiped out. i cannot stress how catastrophic this is, or how difficult it will be for these communities to build back. i am angry, and scared, and heartbroken by everything that's happened.

and our government is spending it's money to fund a genocide.

free palestine, and don't be complicit. realize that this is not something happening that doesn't affect you--although it shouldn't take this to care about the deaths of thousands of people anyway.

FYI post

If I have liked ❤️ any of your posts...

I know reblogs are far more valuable for everyone on this site. While likes are nice, they aren't the best, and I use them as book marks (if you will). I try to spread out my reblogs, so please be patient with me.

I want to spend some time enjoying the posts everyone dedicates their time to and might get side tracked (ADHD yAy!).

So, while this isn't meant to be legally binding, I will do my best to come back to those posts and reblog things.

I think that one thing people fail to understand is that unsolicited literary criticism coming from an online stranger who is reading with no knowledge of what the authors intended goal is, is not going to be received the same as say: the authors beta reader or friends who know what the authors intended goal and has the sufficient knowledge and input to help the author reach that desired outcome.

"But I'm only trying to be helpful" How do I know you have the knowledge and literary skill for you to be able to actaully do that when we don't know each other and you are essentially a stranger to me? Are you applying this criticism based out of personal biased experience and desire to see the story or characterization be driven in another direction or tweaked, or do you know the author's intentions for the character? If the story is incomplete, are you basing your criticism of a character on the incomplete narration with only partial information available of them or are you building up a report until the story's completion? Did the author provide you with the information needed to make a fully informed criticism?

Have you discussed with the author what their plans are or are you assuming them based off the narration, especially if the narration is proven or implied to be unreliable or missing key points of the plot? Are you unbiased enough to help them reach their desired outcome for the characters and story regardless of your personal feelings towards the characters/antagonists and setting? Can you handle being told your specific input isn't wanted because you're a reader and/or have no written anything relating to their genre or topic? Do you understand and respect that the author's personal experiences might influence their writing and make it different than how you would have done it personally? Do you understand if an author only wants input from a specific demographic relating to their story?

If it's for fanfiction or other hobby media, are you holding a free hobby to a professional standard? Are you trying to give criticism because you feel like the author has produced 'subpar job performance' of their fic? Are you viewing their work as a personal intimate outlet or something that must conform with mass media? Are you applying rules and guidelines when the fic is shared for simple sharing sake? Is your criticism worded appropriately and focused on the parts where the author has requested input on rather than a general dismissal and or disapproval?

Have you put yourself in a place where you assumed you have the input needed for the story to evolve better, or have you asked what the author needs and what they're having trouble with? Can you handle having your criticism rejected if the author decides their story doesn't need the change and not take it as a personal offense against your character? Are you crossing that boundary because you think you are doing the author a favor? Are you trying to be helpful, or do you just want to be?

I think sometimes when people hear authors go 'please don't give me unsolicited writing advice or criticism' they automatically chalk it up to 'this author doesn't want ANY constructive feedback on their stuff at all' and not "i already have trusted individuals who will help me with my writing goals and- hey i don't know you like that, please stop acting so overly familiar with me'

tbh after thinking about hancock a bit, i feel like she would become attached to anyone that treated her like how luffy treated her (as an equal and a friend, and not practically deifying her)

I'm in many leftist spaces and I've seen many goyim in these spaces complaining about how often jews talk about leftist antisemitism.

The thing is that this is the consequence of claiming to be advocates or in support of another group of people - when you ostensibly prove you aren't for us, we're going to be harsher than we are to people who never pretended in the first place.

For an analogy, here's a similar situation: I am harsher toward "pro-trans" people who are transphobic than I am to people who are not. This is because the pro-trans person told me they were better than that. I am already aware that the anti-trans person is going to be anti-trans. Their anti-transness is self-evident. What isn't self-evident is a person who claims to be pro-trans and then proves otherwise.

This post is addressed toward leftist spaces because I occupy these spaces the most. It makes me wonder just how safe I am in these spaces when leftist begrudgingly acknowledge that this conversation keeps happening. I feel like a lot of leftists treat those of us who open these conversations like we're an "I left the left" rightist when... Most of us are still in leftist spaces. We have not left the left and through pretending we have, you absolve yourself the feeling of responsibility.
