Would be fucked up if you looked at your baby and it said 1/50 over their head, implying a pikmin is intending to abscond with them

YouTube video by gavvhell Anime Expo 1992 costume contest masquerade

I've uploaded a new anime convention videos, this time the Anime Expo 1992 costume contest. This version was a produced video by the con and aired on their in-room cctv channels where I recorded it. That was a very neat feature of the old Red Lion Inn.. #otakuarchive youtu.be/QRpKKPwjZ04?...

The Orb

Yeah it sucks but the alternative that we were using for a short period beforehand was putting poorly paid people overseas to meticulously stare at porn, gore, child exploitation, animal abuse, warcrimes, etc.

And I’d rather there not be hundreds of living things subjected to that.

I reposted someone talking about it earlier but since I see people panicking over AI scraping, just a PSA:

The AI service BlueSky is using is for image/video moderation in the same way Youtube, Instagram, Tiktok, Facebook, and Twitter functions.

It sees if something is sus and then flags it-

io9: Your portrayal of Indigenous and transgender characters—like the Lnu tribe and Cordelia—stands out in a media landscape where such representation is still rare outside of series like Golden Kamuy, Skip and Loafer, and Paradise Kiss, where they’re often mishandled. What impact do you hope these characters have on expanding the narrative terrain? How do you see your storytelling challenging the ethnocentric lens that dominates much of mainstream media when it comes to that representation?

Yukimura: I did have written characters in [Vinland Saga] from a marginalized ethnic group [and] who are LGBTQ featured here. I actually wanted to portray a character with a disability in the story, too. However, because of the setting, I really couldn’t find the right place to incorporate such a character into the story. One thing I really don’t understand, though, is why do people attack such folks? Is it because they’re different? Why do they just focus on bad things about these groups and generalize them? I truly don’t understand why people do such things. I plainly feel sad when it comes to the way people treat each other.

To me, it’s quite normal for people to have uniqueness. It’s almost needless to say that we all individually have a uniqueness that might be considered different than what is the majority. For example, I grew up in an era where higher education was considered to be the most important thing in society in Japan. You almost had no paths in life outside of that structure. I actually do live outside of that structure, and I’m living perfectly fine. I really want to say that uniqueness is okay. I don’t understand why people are making those judgments to say, “This is okay, but this is not okay.”

I haven’t really thought about what this type of storytelling or character would have an impact on society at all. I’m just writing, drawing, and portraying society as I see it and what I think is normal from my eyes in the manga. If people don’t agree with that version of what I think is a normal society, then oh well. (Laughs) That’s too bad. Those people don’t have to read my manga.

Also, Makoto Yukimura said trans rights.

Title Tuesday! Let's #AEWDynamite!

finally sat down to make art of them 🙏

This is Chico. He is the star of this year's hottest film, Fast and the Furriest: Tokyo Drift. 13/10 (TT: mariana_rodrigues_ssilva)

a small cream colored dog stares up at us. this is Boksil, swaddled in a grey robe, and tucked underneath a thick blanket on a bed. her little paws poke out of the robe's sleeves, and her toe beans are in full view. her tiny pink tongue mlems from her grinning mouth.

a higher angle of Boksil. a small yellow pillow rests beside her for scale, and her eyes are closed peacefully as she rests swaddled under a white blanket, looking very cozy.

This is Boksil. She is reaching levels of cozy previously unheard of. 12/10 a trailblazer (IG: with_bokdanji)

Any trans person who begins their transition today is exhibiting more courage than most people will in their entire lives.

A lot of folks have been asking when invites will be going out.
- No, you haven't missed it! We haven't announced when.
- Yes, we already have alpha-testing users migrating and testing and posting from our servers
- The timeline at this point is ASAP, due to the crisis of confidence facing Bsky.

A post by Rebecca Johnson: “I finally learned how to teach my guys to ID the passive voice. If you can insert "by zombies" after the verb, you have passive voice.” A tumblr respond from mightymur: “The final, brilliant word on passive voice. "She was killed [by zombies.]"<--passive "Zombies killed [by zombies] her." <-- active”

Because it feels relevant as we continue to evaluate the media and our representatives’ statements, my favorite way to identify the active vs. passive voice.
