No offense but I find the fact that people call Wooly and Amanda "Abusers" or "Agressors" weird because these are literal children

Yes, Wooly trying to follow the script isn't helping them out, Amanda's actions get progressively more terrifying because she's desperate to get out of the tape..

But they're not abusers????? They're literally kids. Children that are trapped in nightmare tapes haunted by the fact that they're dead and this is their life for all eternity unless they can find some way out.

And even if wooly is a 'Sentient AI' as people have been theorizing he'd still the ai of a child,

and they CLEARLY care about each other. Theyre clearly friends. Even if the behavior is off.

But the more one denies being dead/trapped to play along (potentially out of fear) and the other wants to break the script to get them m(maybe both of them) out it doesn't mix good

Neither of their actions are excused of course, not saying what they did was right (because both of their actions regarding being trapped have flaws) but they aren't "abusers". They're kids trapped in a horrible situation. They're most likely victims of the actual tormentors.

Which, of course, would be the people at Hameln

...guys, do you know what an art style is???? cuz', this seems pointed. I see what you mean. I completely agree.

But hear me out. Along with these posts, could we consider? Maybe? Some constructive criticism? People should draw them more accurate.

They SHOULD.

But how should they do it? Realism art? It's a foreign concept to me. I try and it absolutely fucking sucks and i'd love to be a part of this fandom showing that the characters are real people but

It's kind of

Just

Very "do this. No other explanation. Change it."

Look, I really want to. And I am trying. But could we like, make a space for teaching people? Cuz I am stumped dude like fr. Need some guidance.

sincerely, a tired lesbian who is infinitely more tired of seeing this everywhere. thanks

i’m ngl the way some of yall have decided that ryuji is homophobic even tho he has never said anything remotely homophobic as far as i can remember is weird and i think you should investigate your biases of why you think that about him in particular over anyone else in the p5 cast. like quick! explain why the guy who is “traditionally masculine” and openly attracted to women has to be the token homophobic straight guy without saying anything that is either biphobic or super stereotypical towards queer men!

[pathofelation]

i think some of you don't see writers as real artists

[frogchiro]

Ok quick question tho like I’m generally trying understand because I just saw that whole argument on your page

How is engaging in a sexual relationship with something you portray as a animal not a type of zoephilla or however u say it I just don’t get it. Like I get it’s a human walking around as a cow but you’re still making that person act and behave as a cow so it’s coming off as a naughty cow that needs to be punished right?. Because if that was the case why can’t it just be getting punished without the animal part? Like what would being an animal add to it?

I’m really trying to get this like not trying to start shit because I’ve never heard about this before 👍🤗

And you're a completely blank blog who comes into a 18+ space. Yummers. To be perfectly clear, I'm only entertaining you because I really have enough of this argument and this is the last thing I'm posting about this and then I'm closing it.

I have no idea where the idea that when writing/reading about hybrid characters is about fucking actual animal came from and I frankly don't want to know but here's the thing: they are literally humans with some animal traits. The traits being ears, tails, sometimes a bit of extra fur or horns and that's it. Hybrids are written to be perfectly able to speak, think, do things for themselves, just are regular humans with some unusual traits. The farm/forest/whatever setting people are writing for are just that- settings for a specific au or scene that the authors create but again, the hybrid characters are perfectly capable of voicing and giving/revoking consent, sane adults and it's always explicitly stated. If you read a hybrid character as an actual animal then it's you whos the problem bc why the hell would you even do that. Like. Why.

Put on a headband with cat ears and tell me what happened. Did you turn into a cat? Did you turn into an animal or do you feel like one? Ofc you don't and the same thing is with hybrids. They're humans with fucking ears and tails but the only difference is that they can move them.

If you really wanna be nitpicky then why not bash a/b/o too since the characters have ruts/go through heats/behave in a generally much more animalistic way? Why don't we go further and throw out the mermaid trope too that's been with humanity since the dawn of time? Succubus trope? Yeah fuck that too.

I'm seeing a ton of negativity and toxicity in the cod fandom lately with some random people bashing and shittalking authors who guess what, creating content for free. No ones paying us to write, we do it bc we like to do it out of our free will. It takes time and effort to put out even a blurb and shit like this is just discouraging me and other content creators which results in them stopping writing or leaving the fandom alltogether and honestly? I don't blame them at all and I thought more than once to do the same.

But back on track. My advice? Don't get into anime, like, ever. Because then you will be in for a ride when a uwu catgirl pops up pal.

So yesterday I was finally able to catch up on Jaiden's most recent stream, and-

I love q!Jaiden. So much. I want to scream.

How is her lore/streams so funny and yet so sad at the same time?!?!! I don't know how long her trip to Japan is supposed to be or when she'll be able to stream again but I really wish I had a fast forward button because I am going to DIE from all this suspense!!!

This is fucking ridiculous. G’s been in the league for about 15 years now, so he knows what the fuck he’s talking about. People on X saying the team “needs” all this negativity and “needs” to stop whining clearly are not fucking listening to what any of the players are saying. They’re tired of it. They hear it, they understand the fans are frustrated but so! Are! They!!! They’re frustrated! They’re tired! They are trying!!!!

And Brady, a 24 year old, needing to delete the social media apps from his phone because the negativity is so much?? Fucking disgusting.

Harassing the team and staff needs to stop. Get frustrated sure. Be annoyed. But remember these are people too. They have fucking feelings. And at the end of the day IT IS JUST A SPORT. IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE FUN.

btw its interesting the way james tries to imply that like. well the videos that have plagiarism are the ones our dumb stupid annoying patrons requested about bad topics that didnt deserve to have the effort put in to covering them well so basically its fine. like obv thats interesting on its own but moreso the fact that he doesnt actually /say/ it, or like. give a list of the videos hes referring to, just says "those videos are very clear on which ones they were" i think as a nod meaning like "yknow the ones everyones talking about". unless what hes meaning is that like they put a note in certain videos saying "this video was requested by a patron, we here at james somertom incorporated do not espouse these views" which seems unlikely to me. idk methinks maybe it's because there is indeed a lot more than people think and with all the buzz he's not sure which ones have been discovered yet or not, so putting down a solid list that missed some would look like he was still hiding things whereas putting down a fully sourced list would be admitting to wayyyy more than anyone's found yet

"4th of july is for republicans and bootlickers" have u considered that this is still my home and i want to have faith in the things it'll become in the future. have you considered i want to fight for my country in the sense that i want to dismantle everything that the poisoned government does to it and its people.

this country is beautiful and so are the people in it. they deserve better than what they're being subjected to.

ban firearms, give the natives their fucking land back, put billionaires under guillotines (lol), clean up the fucking environment. thats what i wanna fight for.

fucking vote by the way

I LOVE that if you get at just the right angle, Cyna looks absolutely furious. At the viewer specifically.

I love fandom, I do, fandom is basically my life, but sometimes I read the shit people write about their fave characters and i'm just like, i'm too old for this, please go touch grass, it's clear that you do interact with people irl, but they're either just as deep in fandom as you are or you are just so deep that you somehow still see every interaction you have as related to fandom. "I'm so ____ coded, and my partner is ____ coded, that's why we work so well" why are you evaluating your relationship based on how much the two of you are like fictional characters? why do you have to relate everything in your life to your fandoms? no, that person you dislike isn't villain-coded, they're just a bitch, or the two of you don't vibe, or maybe you said some of the same shit you say on the internet but to their face and they decided to steer clear of you

Some of y’all have been ruined by toxic relationship tropes and it shows.
