#if they happen to claim to be 'artists'

[gender-euphowrya]

why is the go-to reaction people have to calls Not to consume media involving super problematic people always "i'll pirate it :)" just don't fucking do that either

how do you fucking find the ability to enjoy the thing knowing the fucked up shit the people behind it did.

Ill go onto someone's profile and their pinned post will have like "DNI IF YOU SUPPORT [insert artist] ILL BLOCK YOUR ASS IF YOU REBLOG THEIR ART anyway u can dm me if you want more info on why i have a vitriolic hatred for this person, i pwomise it wont be biased and full of bullshit :3"

Ill be like "okay thats fucking stupid, im not dm'ing them for what'll clearly be a biased response. I should probably look more into it.

I find out why.

"Oh these are lies. These are lies being spread because someone leaked a queer person's nsfw alt and found something they could twist into being "morally wrong" and theyre still continuing as the artist clarifies that what they drew isnt [whatever theyre trying to twist it into]."

there was a post going around a bit ago complaining about the claim that chappelle roan and other white lesbian musicians are bringing in a renaissance in lesbians in music (in pop specifically I think? Ive never seen the renaissance claims myself) and while OP was right to be complaining about how people only ever focus on white women for their music, they said "how can u say these white girls are putting us in the renaissance when we have syd --"

terrible paraphrase sorry. but it annoyed me because yes syd is a lesbian and Black but she's not in pop and she's been around for a while. I love syd. i LOVE syd. maybe this is me splitting hairs but if someone says "yaay lesbians in pop" and you bring up syd. idk.

and then they said there's been Black women singing about loving women for ages and they brought up megan thee stallion, janelle monae, khelani, and others and its like yeah! they do all love women! none of them are LESBIANS though and that was the original statement made in their post, lesbians (in pop) starting a lesbian music renaissance.

and again maybe this is splitting hairs or just petty of me or something but if yall cant even name a Black lesbian musician OUTSIDE syd and tracy chapman and the artists you do mention dont even meet the parameters then --

the amount of times I have to explain to people "No, the nazis do not own this symbol, they appropriated it, and if you see it in old texts it's not fucking nazism it's goddamn occultism"

it's SO frustrating because on one hand I am glad people take dogwhistles and hate symbols seriously but on the other hand if you act like anything that's ever been brushed by nazis is Their Symbol Forever you are giving them what they want. black sun (the concept) is different than the symbol the black sun and just because someone is talking about it doesn't mean they're a nazi, context is so so so important with these things AUGH

[ihamtmus]

this fandom should be studied because the levels of brainwashing and hypocrisy are something else

[bandzboy]

people are like “just because i listen to the song doesn’t mean i like the artist” and the artist in question is a literal criminal like…? idk what to tell you but that’s not how that works

[opalthea]

also, hello padisarah nonnie !! it's good to see you again :>

i decided to not answer your ask regarding the wholeeee stuff.. because i don't really care what they want to do anymore. i've done my part of speaking up about their behaviours and calling them out - which made a lot of people open their eyes for once instead of ignoring the warnings they got from me or other people. and i think that's all i want to do.

THIS WILL FORMALLY BE THE LAST POST ABOUT THEM. I will not answer any asks regarding it anymore, so if you want to make your own posts regarding those users, please use your own platforms, thank you.

as much as i encourage speaking up, i also don't want to give a flying duck about them anymore. y'know, like, i spoke up because i couldn't tolerate them and their behaviours anymore - couldn't just keep quiet when my mutuals are knowingly or unknowingly talking to shitty people like that. if they started a new blog, just let them. i don't really care anymore 😭 all i hope is that my mutuals and those that see this are more aware of internet safety and who you surround yourself with. it was already exhausting trying to warn others about them and not being listened to until i made this shit public — i'm not going to start becoming a blog that runs on discourse just so some can finally realise that this person was shitty and that person was the devil.

thanks for also caring abt me and informing me of their new url, i appreciate that a lot! it's on my blocklist now + the mutuals they've tagged on that post too 💀 if, however, i blocked you without a good reason why, or if i blocked you before you knew of this and had already cut ties with them, feel free to send me a message or ask on a different blog! i took precautionary blocks when it comes to having those kind of people as mutuals so .. yeah.

The thing about a lot of the purity culture stuff is how it's also propped up by the anti-intelectualism. Which is how you get people earnestly Charlie-day-cork-board style arguing why anything they don't like has incest subtext, while insulting anyone who actually cares about analyzing real incest subtext.

It's also hard to do any serious analysis of the state of queer works, when the well has been so thoroughly poisoned between prople policing who gets to write/enjoy it, vs writers who see regular engagement with the premise of their writing as a threat.

Hi! I just saw you talking about Palworld and AI, so I did some digging about it, and I think you'll be happy to know Palworld does NOT use generative AI, or they would legally have to disclose it on the steam page. The creator previously remarked on generative AI and made a small game using generative AI that seems to be mostly ironic, but they haven't used AI in their creature designs or anything, like a lot of people are saying.

Granted, the fact the creator looked into it at all is meh, but I also feel like someone looking at something that has become such a big hit (because regardless of feelings on it, generative AI is very popular right now) is a little more understandable than actually using it, tbh. Not meant as a discourse ask or anything, just thought you'd like to know that Palworld doesn't use AI in their game :]

OH NO DW I KNEW THAT . Ive been saying that they HAVENT used AI for the game itself, and that even if we dont/didnt know 100% if they used AI for the design process (something they dont have to disclose if its a part of early designing stages as far as steam is concerned) itd still be bad to insist that nintendo take action just for design similarities. Every pokemon fangame or even pokemon inspired game has clear ripoffs of pre existing pokemon or digimon- even unintentionally, theres only so many animal puns to turn into creatures you can use before things start to look the same- so saying that they should get sued is... Like. Bad for everyone else ever.

If people dont want to play it bc of AI, they can just do so under the pretense of the devs supporting generative AI models, which is the reason i personally dont want to support the game . I really dont understand why people have to throw in guesses (palworld using AI in the design process) or outright lies (their previous games being plagiarized) in the ring.

my new oc outburst! she’s just a baby. a little creature. she’s pretty shy but super curious! she’s VERY attached to her caretakers

my headcanon for cybertronians is that they grow up SUPER slow and she was found pretty young by bots who ended up being neutrals when the war broke out so she’s been growing up in peace while everybody else fights. melee (yellow gal) is also pretty protective and doesn’t let outburst see or hear about any of the conflict going on

ROCKSTAR ♡ dude. That's so cute I might cry. I'd never delete the contract either man.

hurts even more when you remember sugar deleted the contact. she specifically reentered his number at some point to her phone post ‘breakup’, and still used that original endearing contact name.
