hi if you’re going to send me an anon ask about the “Hopeless Peaches / Lio Convoy situation”, you fucking WILL respect his pronouns.

Hopeless Peaches goes by Eren as well, he and uses he / they pronouns. fucking use them.

It seems youtube is pulling a netflix and anyone who is on the family plan have to be in the same house now...which in my humble opinion is fucking stupid, multi profile plan, and we are given them cash, who fucking cares if its in the same damn house.

Like they are getting their damn cash, who cares if the people are in different houses. I think its fucking stupid...its fucking corprate greed and I fucking hate it, they are making more than enough cash with their shit ads, and the money being thrown at them to stop seeing the ads because they admit they will fuck over anyone who uses adblock!

If they weren't the mega corp that practically controls everything you know there would be investigations and lawsuits. But nope only people screaming foul and them doing nothing because they have the money.

I fucking hate how youtube and google became this.

"But but if you have addblocker how will you support your fave creators?"

First of all, watch, like, tell others about them, also the amount of money they get from ads is pennies...heck I think it might be less than people who get ad rev from twitch. There is a reason so many people do patreon, ko-fi, memberships, and sponsor bits. Youtube is getting all the cash and being greedy little fucks

[fangirl-nadir]

The fact that YouTube still lets you x out of the "AdBlock is not allowed" popup tells me that the designers are either stupid or they know this change isn't gonna go over well

[indispensible-pencil]

Youtube when you press the video you want to watch multiple times

Youtube when the slightest whisper of a gnat's breath glances your touchscreen over an ad

I watched Starship Troopers tonight.

And here’s the full commercial:

You ever just know someone is so horrid and manipulative and assume you can't dislike them further, but then you do, and you're just angered and annoyed that someone this repugnant thinks their hot shit for being a controlling spoiled little brat? Yeah, that's me rn.

"Jeapordize"

"Not invited"

The people who volunteered to work on the pilot, who gave it their all and genuinely loved the characters, the cast, the Fandom, and the creator all at one point...treated in such a way. One member, seemingly threatened by Viv, could not participate or take any sort of part in this love letter, or else his job as Striker will be on the line is some of the most manipulative and controlling things Viv has consistently done. But fans will sit here and act like this is normal. It's not normal. Why would his job be on the line for participating in a lovely goodbye? Nothing about this is normal, nor should it be normal. Nothing about any of this is good. It's extremely divisive and horrid.

And her seemingly seemingly cutting ties, ignoring, or not inviting the cast that helped bring the pilot to life to see the opening for the show they've waited so long to become a full on show, and who have helped promote it for years...

The very thought of even REPLACING EVERYONE wouldn't be on my mind (ofc unless there comes complications or a problematic situation or revelation occurs)

Not after all the beautiful work and passion they put into everything.

I couldn't imagine doing this to any group of friends who have been so kind, loyal, and loving towards me and my works. I couldn't imagine not inviting those who helped me get this far to the premiere of the show they helped build along with me. I can't imagine dumping them all after years of commitment to MY ideas nor can I imagine failing to promote and uplift their works after they have done so with mine.

This is low. This is very low. Idc what excuse you throw. This behavior on Vivziepop's part is ludicrous.

EDIT:

Were not initially paid...

Hey, hear this!

I'm not black and don't know that much about voodou. There are lots of people ready to talk and explain their concerns about their representation in HH. Please hear them! (the amount of disrespect done by a bunch of non-black people upon the topic is disgusting!)

The demonizing and villainizing of this religion has existed since the time of slavery. Using this symbols and closed religion to make a character more "edgy demon evil" is awful. This was Viv doing exactly. I do not believe Al was even supposed to be black/mixed until Viv got told about the use of the religion she was using. All of her main black characters have 0 features. They are just black to profit of "diversity" while she makes no effort to show it or be respectful.

To the people being like, "Aren't you also mad about her representing Christianity wrong???" Based on the fact of how she has talked about Christian people before... YES (I have a whole post about worrying it). But the point brought up is about a religion that's under discrimination based on racism and colonizer mindsets. About a problem that existed when slavery started. Viv is not making a critique or tribute of Voodou she is just using it to make Alastor seem "COOL AND EDGY".

I also do worry of the point she is trying to make about Christianity and believing in it. Specially cause that means her story about heaven and hell could be the blandest immature criticism someone could make. -and sell more people into the idea of "all believers of Christianity are bad people". Which I still hope, it doesn't happen directly in the show. Btw, I'm not Christian! I'm queer and have faced a lot of discrimination that a lot of people justified in their Christianism, I know the level of frustration people feel relating to that. But I have grown to realize, not every person that believes in God and Christ is a bad person. And that I don't get to throw all of those people under the umbrella of "bad" because of how I have been treated.

BTW, this person got blocked by Viv:

ALSO, THIS IS STUPID!

You are crazy to say this. They are many criticisms of Disney, specially this movie. You just didn't see it and decided to tweet this without even thinking of searching for this? Like, have you never heard of people complaining about how Tiana as the first black princess becoming a fucking frog for most of the movie.

Dr. Facilier is a demonization of voodou! Also, Mama Odie is the "Good magic" but realize how she doesn't use the symbols or African masks. But only the bad magic, has it? Most of the representation of the religion is Facilier too, and it's wrongly represented.

EDIT:

NAHHHH. GIRL

RACHEL

ARE YOU WRITING YOUR EPISODES AT THE START OF THE WEEK THEY'RE DUE

WHAT IN THE WORLD-

there was already a lot of evidence to suggest that her buffer is only 1-2 weeks ahead of time

there was already a lot of evidence to suggest that she was writing by the seat of her pants

there was already a lot of evidence to suggest that LO isn't ending because she planned it to end here, but because she's either given up completely OR because Webtoons has cut her loose (see: "I thought it would take longer to get here", among other things she's said and done to suggest this tinfoil hat theory)

BUT IF THIS DOESN'T DAMN WELL CONFIRM IT, MADAME-

[fangirl-nadir]

So YouTube is actively punishing people for using an Adblock, Spotify is refusing to pay its artists royalties, and I'm too broke to afford Nebula or Skillshare or another creator-owned alternative.

What the fuck am I supposed to do?

Life hack: if you start EXU: Calamity at 14:04:18 (2:04:18 PM) on December 31st, you can experience the finale of the Avalir fireworks extravaganza at exactly midnight.

And then, if you really wanna set the tone, you can kick off your year by screaming into a pillow for the remaining ten hours of runtime!
