Megathread of pro-trans petitions on Parliament’s petition website. If Labour suddenly gets hit with debates for a bunch of pro-trans petitions, maybe they’ll realise this issue isn’t going away and they’ve fucked up.

I’ll add more as I find them.

Learning how to draw on my tablet, starter with a practice tracing of 8 and a colouring in. Then stepped out and tried my own thing by drawing @an-awful-jack.bsky.social in two different styles!

Not bad for a first few tries if you ask me!

But if you don’t actually care to learn about the culture or songs, you can just… let those of us who DO exist without having to see lukewarm takes on bsky? Nobody is forcing you to like em.

Signed, a mediocre, nonbinary vocaP who is just starting out and *already so tired of this rhetoric*

I’ll implore you to do some deeper research into vocaloid if you actually want to give it a go. I recommended FLAVOR FOLEY for some music by a great set of artists, the arguable ring leader JamieP being female (or maybe nonbinary? They’re she/they)

Other points: YOASOBI’s composer is a VocaP and now he works with a Real Life Female vocalist. Using a vocal synth is largely a choice made in the name of fitting in a genre and community… as is the case with all genres of music, I would argue.

It’s also okay to not like things before you understand them fully. MOST big producers, I would argue, use vocaloid banks as a type of instrument. Plenty of them can sing as well. See: PinocchioP often sings backing vocals to his bangers. Kenshi Yonezu started off as HachiP and his voice is stellar.

You seem to be conflating Japanese vocaloid with the more western songs/songs in English if this is your problem?

But also it’s okay to not like something and not make it about how other people are liking things wrong.
