Duckie (expect... yeah I dunno at this point)

This is 100% a mood.

I see this guy and think "Yeah the kids are gonna be alright."

nominations for the 2026 “Fuck Around and Find Out” award are closed, we already have the winner

my conspiracy theory is that palantir doesn't actually work. if it was as scary as people are saying, shouldn't it just know who i am already? whys it need to coerce me into telling it. i think palantir is just a racist guy on a computer going "arrest that black person and say we did it cuz of data"

Oh, good: Discord's age verification rollout has ties to Palantir co-founder and panopticon architect Peter Thiel Discord is "experimenting" with an age authentication vendor whose major investors include Thiel's Founders Fund.

it's 2026. PC Gamer is doing journalism while actual news outlets post more transphobia. a sandwich costs $16 or five easy payments of $5 with SandoLoan

Me staring at you as you explain something but I already forgot what you said and dont know how to tell you-

if you're an older person who finds words like mogg and maxxing annoying, just starting using them. people over the age of 30 have the superpower to end trends by simply adopting them

Trying to decide if I need to stay up until midnight to tell you that in Wales they don’t celebrate Valentine, they celebrate Dwynwen who wanted to be away from [a specific man] Maelon so SOULFULLY, she literally walked on water until an angel agreed to turn him into ice

She felt bad about it, so:

As is tradition, I would like to wish you all a warm VD.

It's funny, I've shown this post and your replies to many people, including sex workers and LGBTQ people (you're also speaking to one) and their replies have been unanimous: "Bro needs to have his hard drive checked."

If "defending pedophilic content" is the hill you wanna die on, then keep at it.

That's a false equivalency, with no basis on the effects of how different people react when viewing sexualized media.

I shared a personal account of how this has affected me, and your replies lead me to believe you're projecting HARD.

We have a history, so I won't block you yet. Please unfollow.

Strawman fallacies aside, sexualizing minors is bad. If you're over 18 and you're dressing up as a sexy schoolgirl, you're sexualizing schoolgirls. That's bad. That is the point I'm trying to make. Anything past that is misrepresenting my statement.

I have no problems with legal, consensual adult creators. I support sex workers of all kinds.

Context is key, here. Fiction is fiction, but where has it ever been contextually acceptable to sexualize a minor, even fictionally?

Again I ask: what is it that you think you're defending?

@vickiviperzabel.bsky.social I want you to think about how that statement makes you look and what it makes it appear you're defending.

Now think about what it makes you look like to an average person.

Is it worth risking a loss of reputation over? To me, it's not. If you disagree, unfollow.

Oh. Well I've never been accused of paying attention. ^^;

I remembered you being here at the start and then saying something about Jack Dorsey, but that was a while ago. I'd been following your updates on IG, but nonetheless it's good to know you're still posting here. Long live Play Magazine!

(One last thing I'd like to add is that all of this only applies to animated and video game characters. None of it extends to real life people. I hope that didn't cause any confusion or misconception.)

Over the past few weeks I have felt a lot of shame, self-loathing, and anger. I can't ask for anyone's forgiveness, as this is a disgusting thing to admit. All I ask is for patience, understanding, and grace as I walk through forgiving myself and becoming a better person. Thank you for listening.

The anime community has a problem with sexualizing underage characters. I plan to speak out more against it. I realize I am about to make a lot of enemies. This is to be expected.

If anyone notices that I follow someone who produces this kind of content, please let me know so I can unfollow.

Words mean little in this case -- it is action that make things right. I've been working with my therapist, and I feel like we've made good progress. I've unfollowed many artists who produce nsfw content with underage characters. I'm getting rid of many figures, games, and elements of my stream.

It doesn't matter if they're "drawings" or "fictional." What matters is what they represent and it got far too deep into my personality and interests for several decades, affecting who I am. I am ashamed of this and am working to change.

What I'm about to say is kinda hard.

I apologize for any and all comments and content that I have made now or in the past that objectified and sexualized fictional teenaged characters in games and anime, even ones who appear to look like adults. It's gross and I'm sorry. I will be better.

Wait, when did you get back on BSky? That's awesome!

If you get a surprise follow from me when you thought I was already following you, it's because I've been unfollowing hundreds of people over the past week and I've gotten in the habit of clicking to unfollow, then realized "wait, I actually wanted to follow them."

So yeah. That.

I didn't even know and after having read that reddit post -- holy crap.

Like, holy actual crap.

It'd be one thing if it happened and he gave the dude millions of dollars for recompense later, but he doesn't even sound remotely repentant.

"Bummer of a thing." Yikes.

now that's the power of a union

(update: tentative appt is Feb 26th but they'll need $200 up front. Time to list some stuff to get that ASAP.)
