Why is the Sims community boycotting Curseforge?

I've seen a lot of posts going around calling on Simmers to stop using Curseforge, a modding platform that enables creators to monetize their downloads, with plenty of outrage directed toward modders and CC-makers who are still on the platform. But I've also seen a lot of people who are confused about why there are calls for a boycott.

Curseforge is owned by Overwolf, a company that is donating money to the IDF in support of its ongoing genocide against the Palestinian people.

In late October/early November, Overwolf posted a graphic on their social media asking followers to "defend our defenders" by contributing financially to a fundraising drive for the IDF. They were met with backlash and quickly took the graphic down, replacing it with one that used language about raising money for "those affected by the violence in Gaza" (my phrasing may be inexact) but the money is still going to the IDF and not to any agency actually supporting civilians or doing humanitarian work.

You can see the original graphic on this change.org petition, which provides some additional context.

If you are using Curseforge in any way -- by hosting your content there or downloading from it -- you are giving money to a company that is raising funds for an ongoing military campaign against a civilian population.

This is why people are calling for a boycott. If you are a modder or CC maker for the Sims, you should remove all of your content from the website and redirect people to other DL sources. If you are a consumer of mods and CC, you should stop clicking curseforge links and send (polite!) messages to modders and CC makers to urge them to pull their content from the site.

ETA: Here's another link with more images of the original Overwolf Tweet!

Things have changed.

On the afternoon of the 14th of September, at a roughly estimated 14-15 years of age, Lilith was taken to the vet for the last time.

You may wonder why we still have this fundraiser up. It was never about having enough funds to care for her, but rather, paying off the costs for her care that we had already accrued. As I said in the original version of this post before the edit, just because she's gone, it doesn't mean that the debt also disappears. As such, the post will continue to be spread as normal, until all of the debt is cleared.

I will be queuing this to post multiple times a day for the next several days, and will continue to do so so long as it is relevant. I do not particularly care if this bothers anyone; you don't have to look at it if you don't want to. It's easy enough to ignore if you have XKit or whatever; I just ask that you reblog it at least once if you plan on never having to see it again.

Free my homie Predstrogen the cuntbags in tumblr staff have given her the blurry profile pic of doom and I will NOT fucking stand for this, Avery, Rita, and Roxy have been nothing but sweethearts to me and to others, so I'm not gonna tolerate tumblr staff giving her this treatment ESPECIALLY not after she sent them a support ticket to get help with the harassment and stalking she has been facing from bigots on this site. So free my girl @predstrogen so we can get this year back on track!!!

NO SPOILERS PLS <3

Finally watching Madoka Magica for the first time and I'm so desperate to know why Honumura (I think that's her name) was so fucking deadset on killing this cute thing :3

Like, I'm aware that Madoka Magica is the "edgy magical girl anime," but there's something kind of lowkey hilarious about watching an anime emo girl stalk this marketable plushie like it stole her fucking lunch money and pissed in her cereal XD

Remember to KEEP PUSHING and never stop talking about Palestine!!! 🍉

So I've Heard from the writer grapevine that people are taking fanfiction others printing them out, and turning them into books to sell on Etsy. This shit is disgusting on so many letters I don't even want to describe fan fiction writers breaking our backs. To make things accessible for everybody, and these freeloaders who have no creativity wish to make money off it

If you see a book of a fanfiction on a site that you think it shouldn't be on, tell the original writer on AO3 or anywhere where the fanfiction was initially posted

Especially for the people who write fanfiction of copyrighted titles because the people who steal the fan fiction and the original copyright holders are liable to sue the poor fanfiction writer.

I'm making announcement here because I know a lot of writers including myself who post on AO3

I have my own series called 'Stratosphere' and if you ever see it on any other site that isn't AO3 that is not me and to report them!!!

Keep fanfiction free!

Creating Another Promo

This will likely not do well, because even people that don't ship DickBru are still voting for it for the irony of it. So, I'm going to try to gather more voters. Co'mon DamiJon Nation, we can do this!

DamiJon is a SuperBat Ship Too!

I consider this a SuperBat with a childhood backstory to it. It's also not called Super Sons in Tom King's runs, but World's Finest. See! It's basically a future SuperBat.

"Honey, I'm home!"

Can we talk about how Damian was the only person Jon messaged while he was with his grandpa?

Better yet, can we talk about how these two fight like a married couple?

Or how this is the best threesome pairing?

And other world pairing?

I'll leave it with this. Just... LOOK AT THIS!!

The poll can be found here.

I've had a long and stressful day at work so if any pattern-seeking bloggers out there are somehow interested in a diagram detailing the common qualities among the fixations of this pattern-seeking blogger I have spent the last hour compiling them into a helpful-if-horrifying mangled venn diagram:

If anyone is able to identify an instance of Soft Deranged Failurehood that importantly lacks any Bosshood, please know that Science eagerly awaits your contribution.

CONCLUSIONS:

People who say 4-way Venn diagrams don't work are cowards.

Cats are complete beings. Humanity introduces only impurities.

would the dog royal families be like pugs because of all the inbreeding? would love to see your take on a dog form of the Hapsburgs lol

Probably nowhere near as extreme as modern pugs and other hyper exaggerated breeds today, but to some degree certainly.

I want to make postcards for renewal. This was one idea. I will post them all together somewhere eventually.

This was made with the downloadable file of the "PLEASE do not LICK the WALLS" poster from the X-Ray features on Amazon.

I'm inviting participants 18 years or older who identify as Hellenic Polytheist practitioners or closely related religions that include worship of the Greek gods to participate in a questionnaire for my PhD thesis. If interested, I will send over the participant information.
