The Tyre Nichols Memorial Fund

Tyre Nichols was loved by his community and was known to be gentle, kind, and joyful. He loved skating and was originally from the Bay Area in California. He was known as someone “you know when he comes through the door he wants to give you a hug” and that “he wouldn’t hurt a fly.”

“He had never been in trouble with the law, not even a parking ticket. He was an honest man, a wonderful son, and kind to everyone. He was quirky and true to himself, and his loss will be felt nationally.”

VIV is constantly criticized by her own fault.

TW: Mention of: SA, Rape, Transphobia, fat phobia, Antiblackness.

(Hey, i'mma probably do a post eventually about episode 4. Btw, awfully shit, worse than I thought it could be... BIG TW OF R-PE AND SA IF YOU'RE GOING TO SEE IT. AND TW of the minimization of those topics too.)

(SORRY FOR BAD ENGLISH IN THIS POST TOO)

BUT I NEED TO CALL ATTENTION TO THIS! One of the reasons I criticize a lot of Viv specifically is because of how much she puts herself out there. She sees something she posts on Twitter about it a shit ton (even on "threads" lol). AND because of how lacking of improvement she has being. (I personally know people I have considered terrible when we were teens, but I have seen legit improvement from them in recent years. They seem like people who struggle, but got to grow up and made up for any problems (or pain caused to me or others). People have the ability to change and become better. Something that matters at pointing out issues or discussing-is the idea of creating change on others. It is better to get someone to change for the better than to cast them into the forever jail of nothingness (unless, IDK, they Sexually Assaulted someone, for example). Specially when they are young people. Doesn't mean YOU have to stick with other people that hurt you, no. Doesn't mean people get to do what ever and get away with it.

BUT All of this problem I have seen from Viv are from age 19-30. (you can change at anytime btw) And see constantly repeats herself and her actions. Seems to have never accepted criticism (said by herself too), and never able to see her own faults. The fact that is a continuous behavior is a problem, how she always responds is awful. My post of "Viv has being transphobic for 10 years", was to signal that. If she really had changed over those 10 years to a genuine thing- I could've taken that! But no, the shitty double standard against trans men... the weird treatment. THE MANY STORIES OF EMPLOYEES GETTING MISGENDERED HEAVILY, TOO.

(I know people who were transphobic [When they were teens mainly], that Genuinely improved and changed their beliefs. Now they treat trans people with respect and care! And still learning about gender-fluid people, too!)

It just seems to be further and further away from getting better! The fact that she only decides to take in account voices from SA victims that agree with her- it's painful as a victim, my self!

And yes, people who sent gore or dumbass shit to Viv (or the team) don't help. And go get help why you're looking and sending Gore to anyone. (Also, stuff like this does lead to people not listening to others people genuine callouts). The fact that I criticize something doesn't mean I agree with the people that go and do shit like the thing I just mention above.

AND ALSO A IMPORTANT THING HERE!

This drawing was created by DollCreep. BUT ALSO FUCKING REMEMBER this was done in response to the shit that Viv drew of him.

If you didn't know Viv drew a transphobic caricature of DollCreep using the name Jojo (his old nickname). This put together with a shitty anti-sjw meme video. DollCreep is a transman, Viv drew a character based on him. A furry wolf girl, If you can see in the image the main thing listed below the character name is the fucking "Sex=♀️". SO ON PURPOSE, CHRIST. Like... AND YES-is shitty from both to have drawn this (even if it was in respond) mainly immature in DC part. But that, or any toxicity coming from DC, doesn't delete the transphobia here. (imagine drawing a racist caricature of a poc person, because they are shitty to you). THE POST LINKED ABOVE SHOWS THE SITUATION, and in the end of the day. Viv says that DC is an abusive shitty person to her, but never realizing her own faults or anything she could'be possibly done wrong! (and again, any wrong done by DC in general can not be deleted by the fact of having being treated badly. If he did shitty stuff himself, that doesn't delete the wrong done in general to him or to others by viv)

Here about transphobia:

(this is like 8yrs old too)

Again, she never acknowledges anything that she might have done wrong. "She is a thoughtful person, that wants tor write queer and disabled characters! She wants to tell empowering stories of..." It doesn't even feel close to that when people bring up actual problems in her writing that are stereotyping or bad, and she just yells and cries. It all feels like empty sticks she is only interested in in the surface level, she doesn't want to actually deal with.

When she says "This characters is black guys ♡♡♡" and then the fucking 7th, a grayish character with zero black features. She can not actually try and draw a black person with a different hair texture, she'll faith is hair isn't straight and spiky (has done this so much too). She is all for positivity and diversity (can not draw more than 1 character that isn't a fucking stick with the same stupid face).

She can not write relationships in general. She cannot do gay couples, then don't lean on the stupid old uke uwu defenceless x big rough seme protector stuff. Again, all the interactions with Husk and Angel are sexual harassment. They are already a revealed future couple (and episode 4 is terrible for them, specially with that song). Stolitz is toxic, and predatory. That is not acknowledged, and all Stolas's predatory behavior and power dynamics are put in the background, cause- "look how sad Stolas is :(! HIS DAD IS SOOO MEAN, HIS WIFE IS A BITCH". All her gay characters are in pure surface: over-sexual twinks that are assholes, which also fit into the top/bottom as personality boxes.

Any other point includes sexual harassment as a joke. BUT KNOW SHE WANTS TO BE LIKE "GUYS SA STORIES MATTER, LOOK AT WHAT I WROTE" as if she didn't lean back into the problem of the diminishing of SA and r- (in general and done to men) with her jokes in HB. With all the sexual harassment that Angel Dust puts on Husk and others. (AND YES THERE IS NO WARNING IN EPISODE 4, FOR ITS HEAVY TOPICS! I do believe all series/movies with this need it. SPECIALLY IF IT'S SO GRAPHIC! "Sexual content" is not the same as a warning for SA or R-pe. An adult can see a movie with sex or sexual nutidy- when they see that- but it's different to get straight assault on screen. Victims can watch movies/series with sex in them all good, you cannot just group consensual sex in the same assault or R-pe...)

The thing where Mammon (the only fat character that isn’t from the fucking background.) is like FIZZ YOU NEED TO LOSE WEIGHT. AS IF SHE COULD EVEN DRAW ANY DIFFERENT BODY SHAPE WITHOUT DYING. Like there is only Mimzy (hasn't appeared yet, not given any importance. In the female lead show). Mammon the piece of shit (does the same as Blitz, but he is actually fully bad.) His design is done with 80 fucking layers on top. Like all the test of the skinny character's clothes suck up to their body except for Mammon. His body is hidden in layers upon layers of clothing (that's all you got?). All you main guys need to fill "the skinny have nothing men" and "skinny woman with big hips and legs, but no fucking stomach"?

AND YES! VIV DOES DO THE FUCKING, "FAT = FOOD LMAOOO". You know the thing HH fans and hater where like the "Bee needs to fat thing is bad, cause of fat = food (only food) is reductive and shitty"

(Can I refer to how the show Bojack H, make Diane gain weight cause of anti depressants- and it wasn't a joke! And she was happier too?)

(mine, from post right below)

... like is a bundle of issues. And Viv will never accept that she might be /or is wrong. That's why it hits the fan with stuff. -And again I liked many of the little concepts and stuff in HB and the original pilot of Hazbin. Shit- I still like Sir Pentious and Nifty. I do like Mammon as much as he is a pack of problems to call out, I fucking love the piece of shit Australian jester- The artist work hard on it, and I'm happy it's an openly queer! (as limited as it gets, too....). I liked Huni-cast, I loved the original voice cast! -and that happens! I could be writing this about other stuff too, not only Hazbin... if I created this blog earlier- IT WOULD ALL BE ABOUT RWBY, DANGANRONPA, even svtfoe...Ladybug... or Agretsuko's ending too. So yeah, sorry for the long post (as if all my post weren't)

[honeybleed]

@papersirens you really are a horrid person. you don’t have to like me or monica and you are more than welcome to side with tee because frankly i no longer could give less than two shits if you grown people like to fantasise about underage characters since it’s expected from anime fandoms

but that call-out post you and your other friends are laughing about like a bunch of cruel witches showed proof of me, monica and other black creatives getting called a COTTON PICKER AND A NIGGER. you are a WHITE BRITISH PERSON. what the FUCK is funny about that?

and the craziest thing to me is that the only conversation me and you have ever had in the past was me checking on your well-being when i used to follow you when you made posts about being distressed because that’s the kind of person i am. which is more than i can say for you!

boohooing about how depressed and sad you are, well it’s not a surprise people dislike you if that’s the kind of nasty individual you are. watering down antiblackness to petty drama.

clearly you and your buddies just find it so SHOCKING that the call-out of ezra involved black people talking about the anti-blackness they experienced with him, and you all tried to laugh saying we somehow derailed a conversation about csem to racism like racism is something so far-fetched 🤣 but from here we can see that you do acknowledge racism but it’s just something funny. like all white lgbtq people, you think your sexuality gives you some sort of oppression cards as if white lgbtq don’t oppress black and brown lgbtq people lmao

go and fuck yourself and fuck all your loser friends i wouldn’t be surprised if it was you and your buddies who was inboxing me slurs since it’s such a knee slapper to you

[thee-radio-host-is-a-kookaburra]

Blackface is blackface. You aren't "transrace", you're racist.

more racism from this mf under the cut

Gross as hell. Please block this racist piece of shit.

SPREAD THE WORD! YOUTUBE ARTIST KOOLEEN IS RACIST!

TW: Racism/ Anti-blackness

Kooleen's a large artist that mainly makes tutorials of sorts. Her art shows large anime inspiration and she often fixes/roasts her fans' works.

But then, she tried roasting art of black characters and showed she's a blatant racist. Rin's video below contains all the proof, go give it a watch when you can.

I'll list the biggest points below:

-The thumbnail is not clickbait, Kooleen referred to black features as 'gorilla looking' while using them as an example of 'how not' to draw faces

-Kooleen 'fixed' a side profile of a painted black woman by pushing her chin and mouth inwards, also known as whitewashing

-And Kooleen mocked baby hairs on yet another drawing of a black girl, referring to them as 'eyebrows'

Kooleen is hateful: no amount of ignorance can excuse the use of phrases like 'gorilla looking'. And if Kooleen isn't going to learn how to draw black people, then she shouldn't teaching her 2 million subs how to draw black people PERIOD.

[yooniesim]

I know nobody gives a shit about this in comparison so posting a save file with uncredited builds in it, but reminder of that time @mapanou started calling me out of name and spewing hateful nazi ideology at me out of nowhere just bc i made a lukewarm criticism of a paywaller and I dared to say black people are often criticized more for being angry... but since only one of my parents are black that ain't allowed 😬 some of yall acted like this was okay but I didn't forget it, I notice how some of their friends are acting all betrayed now bc their homie turned out to be a sims content thief but you knew who you were laying down with clearly. You were glad to support an extremely nasty ass person when the vitriol was directed at me, but God forbid someone not credit a build! anyway guess who was struck down and it wasn't me bitch 💀

That aside, since the insufferable cunt had the nerve to mention the One Drop Rule, which has been used as a tool to discriminate against all black people and keep their mixed offspring othered for as many generations as possible, here's some sources on what it actually refers to (and some related articles about the struggles of mixed race people). It's a method of discrimination by white supremacists, not a way for mixed race people that you think are unworthy of speaking to "claim" to be black. If you're lurking, mapanou, i hope you and your friends read them and understand something you should have already at your "very big age".

One Drop Rule on Wikipedia (for the basic concept + more sources)

^ the basic gist for the lazy. and just an added bit. I don't know if mapanou has ever seen me, because I barely know them and certainly didn't share with them, but I have been doxxed plenty and my pics probably shared to them by others and im obviously not white though i am light skinned. im very proud of my dark natural hair, brown eyes, thick lips and big nose that I all got from my father. I have nothing to prove nor hide about who I am. I am black and asian and white and I love every part of what makes me, me. I am mixed race and if you don't believe or like me as I am that's your problem not mine. just wanna clear that up for all the people that may have been confused about it. and for all my followers that are mixed, especially black and asian, I love you and you have a place here. your voices and experiences are valuable and you deserve to be heard. that's all I got to say.

[sneakyboymerlin]

Enough headcanons about Gwen, Lancelot, and Elyan (literally all the main characters of color…) not knowing how to read. They do know, in canon. Gwen and Elyan were both part of an independent business for which writing and mathematics would be necessary (not to mention, there are promo photos of Gwen actively writing), and Lancelot wrote letters back and forth with Merlin for as many as 3 or 4 years. They all know how to read and write.

[viewlumia]

Between how some people on Twitter keep insisting that Arin isn't black or getting mad at April O'Neil being Black in Rise and Mutant Mayhem, I'm noticing a pattern of people only caring about representation in Asian inspired media when a black character who they can't ignore shows up

[awetistic-things]

white people : “black people have higher crime rates than any other race in america !!!”

[lovelybrooke]

I just want to rant for a sec so ignore if you’re not interested/know about the Kooleen drama since I haven't seen a lot of people talk about it.

As an artist, I can’t comprehend not understanding black/poc features, ESPECIALLY if you are someone giving out tutorials online to new and impressionable young artists.

If you aren't aware of the Kooleen drama, essentially, she made a side profile tutorial where she called a profile with protruding lips and chin (a feature common in poc) "gorilla looking." After that video, people found a clip of her "criticizing" a drawing of a black girl with the same features claiming it looked "goofy" before using the liquify tool to "yassify" it. In the same video she referred to edges as second eyebrows.

Now, this has a lot of implications, but at the end of the day, all of these can be chalked up to racism. I'm tired of people trying to defend her by saying "oh she's just ignorant." OKAY? AND? If you're an artist giving out tutorials, you have to be knowledgeable about different, non-Eurocentric features, and can't just go around erasing them because you view them as "goofy."

It doesn't help that Kooleen claims to only draw "pretty" people because she knows that it will get her attention on the internet, leading her to get more money. This by itself is fine, but then you notice she literally just doesn't draw black people. Like at all. You can go on her Instagram and look at all her art and I think the darkest character she drew is Miguel O'hara, not before de-aging him of course. Like I get wanting to draw people you find attractive, I believe all forms of art is wish fulfillment, but to only draw Eurocentric white and Asian people is insane.

And if you come at my trying to defend her by saying she was "doing an anime side profile tutorial." or "it's just her style." Then you're stupid. This isn't 2016, you can draw black people/poc in the anime art style without taking away ethnic features. And if your art style prevents you from drawing a wide range of people, including poc, fat people, disabled people, or anything else, then YOU'RE A BAD ARTIST.

This is all to say without even mentioning her art style which, while isn't bad, it's what I would call "safe." Her art is designed in a way that appeals to young artists, and her tutorials do the same. It's why her tutorials very rarely go over 10 minutes, because she isn't actually trying to teach you how to improve YOUR art, she's teaching you how to draw in her "juicy" style. It's very clear at least to me that she doesn't actually understand concepts like anatomy and face structure, just the basic ways of drawing them to make her characters look as visually appealing as possible.

Overall, I'm just disappointed with the amount of racism in art communities. If you are someone who likes Kooleen or are simply an artist looking for tutorials online, please look for tutorials that actually teach you how to understand what you are trying to learn. I'm tired of this trend of art tutorials that are 20 seconds long that don't teach you anything other than how to draw a basic looking eye as quickly as possible. If you really want to learn, look up references of real people, not quick and easy tutorials. Look at yourself in a mirror rather than watch a video on how to draw a pretty anime girl. Watch a video of someone explaining the basics to you rather than refusing to learn.

And please, I implore you to draw things out of your comfort zone. If you're just drawing for fun, okay, whatever. But if you're serious on improving, only drawing skinny white people is going to get you nowhere. You can't improve by staying in the same place forever.

Also, if you genuinely believe that Kooleen did nothing wrong please explain, I would love to have a discussion with you as long as you're not rude.

[satyrradio]

currently at home from school because a right-wing teacher of mine decided to literally make up a story about me in an attempt to get me suspended.

I probably should've spoken up sooner. he's misgendered me, mocked me, but this is the first time he's tried to get me in trouble because he dislikes me.

my mom is pissed. i'm currently getting testimonies from my friends of the shit he's done to them so we can take it to the school board. From him only punishing my friend, a black woman, for doing something everyone else was doing, saying Rosa Parks was just "too tired to get off the bus", denying the genocide in Gaza, etc.

yea. idk how to conclude this post. hope he gets fired. btw, his class isn't even about history or politics; it's a fucking literature class.

[jaigeye]

Everyone blaming Saw Gerrera for Tech's death rn and jokingly threatening mob violence on his character needs a history lesson and a punch to the face. Shut the fuck up. Star Wars writers creating yet another situation where a character of color will become widely hated and responded to in a racist manner is unsurprising but deeply tragic. Anyone who's talked about chasing him with pitchforks or made memes putting him in the crosshairs of a gun should be deeply fucking ashamed of themselves. You have a serious problem. You are a cruel person. You are insensitive and anti-Black. What makes this behavior justifiable to you? Seriously, who raised you?

CW: Anti-blackness, police brutality re: Tyre Nichols.

If you don't need to watch it don't.

I can not stress that enough.

Here's the gofundme his mom created.

As if this posting it hasn't reached its $300,000 goal so please donate if you can.

.

.

If you're curious: there is no way to justify anything. They start by aggressively ripping him out of the car and it's all downhill from there. He didn't even know what for yet.

Nothing was protocol. No charge which means they had no right to restrain him in the first place let alone anything else. They did not read his rights either. Like I said they Started by ripping him out of the car.

It was a traffic stop. He was at a red light. He was not resisting. There is no fucking way to spin that he was, I assure you.

This was a cold-blooded murder carried out by police who obviously thought they were going to get away with it. To do all that with body cams too?

This is nothing but an example of the absolute confidence that police have that the system will protect them.

And their nonchalant attitudes as they brutalize him are nothing but an example of how Often this must happen.

They weren't worried.

And that's it.

How the FUCK was Memphis PD ever going to spin this as ANYTHING but straight up murder. They couldn't. That's probably the only reason they were charged so quickly.

I only watched it because I am someone actively fighting these systems and arguing and educating and seeing ignorance and fascism first hand I need to know Exactly what I'm talking about when I do those things.

But fucking Christ.

.....and I think the worst part is knowing he ran the first chance he got and knowing he was so close to home. He was probably running home. Trying to get to safety before they could finish but they caught up to him. And then he called out to his mom.

And nobody in his own fucking neighborhood even bothered opening a door.

They are just as culpable.

Abolish Police

[pinkpinkstarlet]

guys is this the troll yall were talking about

I’m not even black but the fact that they used two racial slurs against me and called me a slut despite me being a MINOR is absolutely insane

@thisismisogynoir

[sneakyboymerlin]

Sorry but if you write a magic reveal fic and

Arthur accepts Merlin’s magic with no fuss

Gwaine accepts Merlin’s magic with no fuss

Percival accepts Merlin’s magic with no fuss

Elyan is vilified because he hates magic so much and he’s just not good enough to overlook his bias, unlike Arthur and the other knights (most of whom explicitly hate magic)

Leon accepts Merlin’s magic with no fuss

Then you probably have a racism problem.
