If you tried to "fit in" by hating everything the internet told you to hate, you would end up forgetting how to enjoy anything. Maybe you'll finally fit in, only to find you're surrounded by those as miserable as you.

Life is too short. If it isn't actually hurting anyone, enjoy what you like.

Why do they need to edit people's ears???????????????????? What the fuck YouTube????????????

Wow! I hate this!

One thing I think is really cool about the new Ranma 1/2 anime is that it manages to keep the humor and tone and biggest gags of the original manga in a way that feels true to the text while subtly changing things that haven’t aged well in ways you wouldn’t notice unless you were looking for it

You don't have to post NSFW yourself for it to negatively affect you. You don't have to, because these bans are not about NSFW content, or protecting kids, or making a site safer to use.

Its ALWAYS about conservatives and agendas to push people back in the closet, and remove dissenters.

Can't believe people don't get this; but the reason this payment processor shit has to be all or nothing is because once these freaks establish a line on what fiction is or isn't okay the line will only move further and further in. You have to fight against the line entirely.

The UK is about to ban access to Wikipedia, just remember this bill was originally pitched as a means to protect kids from accessing porn.

guy whose political candidate lost election by 1.5% of the vote: [turns to demographic that accounts for <1% of the population and voted overwhelmingly for his candidate while most of his demographic voted for their opponent] its your fault we lost. i hope you people enjoy whats coming to you

Sex workers' rights and feminism have always intertwined, even if certain feminists don't want to acknowledge it.

This doesn’t mean to stop calling by the way. The execs in those meetings are shifting the levers back ever so slightly so they can see where it is we’ll stop calling.

Don’t stop calling.

Wall Street Journal headline and deck: "New York Shooting Puts Mamdani on the Spot Over Policing Views: The killing of four people in a Midtown office building rattled a city where mass attacks are rare and violent crime has declined."

It's really weird to demand accountability from a NYC mayoral candidate for a deadly NYC shooting rather than the current NYC mayor, an ex-cop who campaigned on a "tough on crime" platform and promptly got indicted for crimes

Visa and Mastercard released their public statements on censorship!

Visa and Mastercard are pretending they don't make any judgments on legal purchases, but Collective Shout CLEARLY told us they successfully pressured payment processors.

KEEP CALLING! IT'S WORKING!

Anthropomorphic dip-pen and inkwell stand infront of a table stacked with books. Pen holds a sign with '18+' drawn on the center, with a heart around it. Inkwell is holding a paper colored rainbow with 'LGBTQA' upon it. Inkwell is holding a hand up in a 'stop' motion. Behind the table is the vague sense of a crowd also holding signs. Above image it reads: "CARTOONISTS Against Adult Content CENSORSHIP"

The Cartoonist Co-op stands against the censorship and pay discrimination of 18+, erotic, and NSFW artists.

Newgrounds' approach to verifying age is interesting and transparent.

Emmett Till memorial shot up with bullets

People with guns proudly posing in front of the Emmett Till memorial shot up with bullets

A bulletproof Emmett Till memorial. Riddled with bullet dents.

All I think about when I hear people say that it’s bad taste to dance on Hulk Hogan’s grave is that Emmett Till’s monument had to be replaced with a 500lb steel bulletproof monument because white people simply won’t stop riddling it with bullets. So now it just has tons of dents. From bullets.

visa and mastercard deciding what games are allowed to be sold is an apocalyptic level threat to the games industry. phone calls are the highest impact way to help.

this is an all hands on deck situation. the enemy got results with 1000 phone calls.

we can beat them

phone numbers and a script:

this is getting next to no media attention and it’s horrifying. transphobes weren’t going to stop at bathrooms, no hormones for minors, they are going to keep pushing until it’s entirely illegal and no one is standing up for us other than trans people

Just a day or so after its crazed racist tirade too. Guess the “test” was successful.

"people used to be so much tougher they didn't need vaccines/pasteurization/air conditioning" no idiot they just died

over 20% of the global game dev force was laid of on the last 3 years and absolutely none of it was because of piracy

this is a song i wrote about being tired of yourself and i think it's called "Billy Goosebumps' Blues".

BREAKING: Scientists are staging a “science fair” in the lobby of a Congressional building to tell elected officials about the critical knowledge the US will lose because their research grants have been canceled.

bunlith skeet saying 'dude, guy, and man are gender neutral' boys getting upset at me when i refer to them as 'girly pops'

this now deleted post turned into discourse about the egg prime directive. im so tired. lol. cant post shit on this website

These things are everywhere

An image with a black and white background and a Latin American immigrant and a title Schröinger's Immigrant. On the left, it reads, "Lazily collecting all the welfare." On the right, it reads, "But also somehow taking all the jobs."

If your reaction to hearing about a bunch of children dying in a flood in Texas is to make a snappy comment about how red states deserve it then you should fuck off and lock yourself in a closet until you can develop the actual fucking empathy and political understanding of an adult

there is something so fucking sick about building a society and job market that actively punishes people for attempting to have a work/life balance and then to frame it as "is caring for yourself worth it?" girl fuck you

I would guess that 17 year olds in Uganda and South Africa could probably tell you about as much about the nuances of US demographic categorizations as 17 year olds in the US could tell you about social categories in Uganda or South Africa and it's weird that people apparently think otherwise

it’s absurd that NYT forced him to delete these skeets, which … convey the factual information that Zohran Mamdani is, in fact, a man of South Asian descent who was born and raised in Africa, and that the pseudonymous source of the hacked material is a white supremacist eugenicist.
