"I've been wondering for years, if we could have our stars uncrossed, but then I wonder if I would have ever met you."

He was saying that as he was bleeding.

Yes, could the two of them have ever met, if their stars weren't ever crossed in the first place?

I send hugs Ralphy.

🦇 December is here! Bats are hibernating. They may roost on their own or in small groups, often in cool, quiet places like disused buildings, old trees or caves, where they hopefully won't be disturbed.

12/12 is the 3rd anniversary of my debut. I've never celebrated my it or my birthday because I waffle and panic over fundraiser logistics like "What do I play? When will people watch? If I invite [insert Vtuber here], what should we do?"

"Darkness?!"

As someone who works in the tech industry--absolutely.

They are testing the waters. These are top-down orders. The ONLY way to stop it is a visceral negative reaction. Write articles. Post your rage. Email. Post. @. All those things.

Only you have the power to kill it.

I think the main reason I cannot get into any gachas is because I got to experience radiata Stories, which had 170-something recruitable characters. One a PS2, and they all had their own lives and stories. And I just look at gachas an go "I only spent money on that once."

Firstly, fascism is so pervasive in clothing/fashion because that pervasiveness IS the point. The following is an extremely compressed historical summary. Mussolini deliberately wanted to create an "Italian Fashion" in order to spread the ideology across the world, with the “popularization” of the “Black Shirt” then trickling down into the uniforms of the Nazi party. Both dictators (Mussolini and Hitler) desired to create a fashion “industry” outside of French influence. This then evolved into the numerous variations in fascist uniform, because the point WAS and STILL IS to subsume everything, every aspect of life was integrated into the “ideal”.

Therefore, these uniforms are not “harmless relics” of a “bygone era”, which is a gross glossing-over of the second world war, but a vehicle used to perpetuate bigoted, violent, and genocidal means of thought. By making them “fashionable” or rather, the more accurate term, marketable, then it becomes socially desirable, simplified: people want to be a part of it due to shared belief or even to wear the clothes to feel “included” and so on. It is the selling of thought through clothing/imagery. It is deliberately, purposefully designed to proliferate and spread itself. You cannot have an outfit connected to or referencing fascist ideals solely because "it looks cool", outside of being morally incorrect, that thought process lacks critical thinking. You've fallen into the very trap set for you.

Whether an individual holds those same beliefs or not, wearing the clothing communicates that they do, THAT'S the issue. “If it walks like a duck” then becomes “If it dresses like a fascist, it is a fascist”, because that is what the outfit is communicating. The caps, coats, and their variations CANNOT be removed from the intention because the intent is literally woven into the clothing itself.

Much like the media we consume, we have to approach our clothing critically, whether it's an outfit we actually wear or something we dress our characters in. When it comes to designing fashion or even just constructing an outfit from our own closets, we have to assess the WHY of what we are wearing and what our clothing is communicating to others. Granted this is barely touching the surface of the issue, fashion's issues with cultural appropriation, and overall problematic engagement with the world around it. That is to say we should not be paranoid of our clothing, or be so consumed by accidentally setting off dog whistles that we lose the joy of creating outfits, as aforementioned, we merely need to approach the topic of fashion and design from a critical angle, and do our due diligence to research use of shape, color, and accessories.

My thoughts on the Zentreya outfit, meant to critique/teach.

As someone so entrenched in fashion, I feel the need to use this as an educational moment for all. As nervous as I am, it's important to address these things directly, for learning, transparency, and growth.

KOSA will obliterate trans people's ability to have spaces and even communicate online. It MUST be stopped.

According to what I have been reading the red armband was removed but the fact it was there in the first place is frightening. And the rest of the stream stuff still relies on frighteningly fascist imagery.

Just... eek.

PLEASE DON'T IGNORE THIS!
