stop that’s so funny

[transparentkittenheart]

it is extremely important that astarion is Not Cool. he is Pretending to be cool, and has tricked many of you, but not me. i just Know for every nine times he does a Sick Knife Trick, he will fumble his shit at least Once and then frantically look around to make sure nobody saw. i just Know he would lose an arm wrestle (or any sort of game) with a twelve year old, and then proceed to beef with said twelve year old.

it is so crucial to his character. you must understand that he kind of sucks shit. it is vital.

Ok but,,, the way so many cishet man BG3 players hate Astarion is so hilariously telling.

Ooohh, no, you're scared of the obviously queer man who has zero shame in his sexuality and calls you darling? You're scared of the man who was victimised by another man and has to actively fight back and process the trauma? You're scared of the man with a trauma enduced, warped view of sex and intimacy who has to process and heal from that?

They hate him not JUST because hes the most obvious fruit in the party, but because they've never seen an accurate portrayal of a MALE SA victim before. And the idea that all that trauma and baggage could happen to them, a man, is scary. They've never had to confront the fact that men in their life, people they care about, could be a victim too and end up with all that trauma.

Because cishet men CAN be victims, it's just nowhere near as common as women and queer people. So cishet men just never have to confront the issue. They never have to think about it. So when they see a male character who's been SO deeply affected by the abuse, it holds up a mirror. This could be you or your loved ones. You aren't immune to it. It could happen to you. And that's scary, terrifying to them.

And you know what? While I'm at it let's also mention the fact theres a bunch of cishets that are weird about Halsin too. Again, not just because the man is queer but because hes POLY and challenges the monogamous view of the world they have. Not only poly, but RESPECTS WOMEN. He's not poly just to have kinky threesomes, but because he ACTUALLY loves and respects both partners. Cishet men view polyamoury as either a weird gay thing, or an excuse to have two girlfriends they don't actually respect and just want sex from. They've never seen real, healthy, genuine polyamoury before. And here's Halsin, this big as fuck, tough as fuck man who has total respect and genuine love for both partners, doesn't see them as sex objects and dates both women and men. It shatters their monogamous, cishet world view.

So yeah, BG3 is for the gays not just because you can date all the characters regardless of gender, but because there is zero cishet monogamous structure to the world. Anyone can date any gender, the male characters respect their female partners, you can be in healthy poly relationships and no one is immune to being taken advantage of regardless of sex, gender or sexuality.

So YouTube just recently announced that beginning on August 13, AI will be rolled out into the US to verify if teens are actually underaged. This new update will detect whatever content you watch, and if you are under the age of consent, then YT will lock your account unless you can show your government ID, a selfie, or your credit card. Not only that, it will strip you of personalized ads, restrict certain channels based on your age, and many more.

This is actual BULLSHIT. Excuse my French, but I have EVERY RIGHT to say it out loud. This update has actively harmed those in Australia and the UK, and when this update comes to the US, underaged YouTubers will be at a gargantuan disadvantage. They say it’s for the protection of kids everywhere - when in reality, this new feature will wreck the foundation of several creators, including myself (I’m 15, btw, and I’m pushing 16 by this October). Even worse, they have an entire app literally called YouTube Kids, and yet they neglect it in favor of screwing over their creators. I like YouTube, but this is just repulsive; I even have a new video I’m working on, and if I upload it past Aug. 13 it’ll already be too late. With this new update is right around the corner, take my advice: STAND. YOUR. GROUND.

Go onto any social media platform and spread the word of this update and how it’ll further tarnish YouTube’s reputation. Mass download as many videos as you can. Critique them with emails at how petty and intrusive this will be. Hell, don’t even use YouTube AT ALL starting on August 13 and find any other video-watching site that lacks AI age verification. At that point, you are proving that you are not willing to bow down to big private companies cracking down on what type of people use YouTube. We choose what we want to watch, not YouTube.

Do your part and just do NOT let unnecessary censorship take control of all these social media platforms.

When you reach the swamps before learning about Astarion's vampiric nature.

That man really wants the whole team to figure it out before he has to admit it.
