it's international women's day and that means I'm allowed to yell at you to

INVITE A WOMAN ONTO YOUR GAMING PODCASTS. BETTER YET, INVITE MULTIPLE, AND NOT JUST ON THE SAME EPISODE, THAT'S A COWARD'S MOVE.

I don't understand why this is so hard to do, my dudes

Day 8 |Tenjou Utena

international women’s day is about all types of women

young, senior, Black, white, fat, thin, short, tall, disabled, non-disabled, straight, queer, cis

AND TRANS

and if you think you can exclude ANY of us you can fix your heart or get in the sea

There’d be no Sudanese revolution without women, no safe spaces of community without women, no lineage of intersectionality without women

Shoutout to the fems that make the fight tangible

what I mean is indie work should be free to exist next to these capitalism-approved juggernauts, not that the show shouldn't exist

Heated Rivalry is a nuanced thing but lately the emotion that's coming out on top is that corpos are allowed to feed us sex and queerness through its eyes but my artist friends are getting their groceries snatched out of their hands by those same entities

The use of the word "Therapy" is so telling. They're really trying to be as homophobic as they can w/o using slurs

I'm too bored of this to try and be clever about it anymore.

If you think that two men kissing, or two women kissing, requires any more explanation than a man kissing a woman, that is homophobia.

Being all lesbian artist is great bc if you draw yuri you’re delusional and making everything about lesbians if you draw het you’re a fake lesbian and if you draw yaoi you’re just a male-centered fujoshi and all you end up with is shame

Absolute skill issue, combined with empathy issue.
Erasure's not gonna happen. You're statistically very likely to see LGBTQ+ folk even if they're not publicly displaying that they are. So suck it up & just tell it like it is to your young 'uns, or don't have young 'uns in the first place.

Rod Serling is probably the coolest guy of the 20th century. Looked cool, sounded cool, fought Nazis, hated John Wayne, wrote the screenplay for Planet of the Apes. Honestly dunks all the hell over any male influencer guy.

Dude, you all banned Link. You all ban Palestinians. Your T&S head got caught both looking at teenie porn and banning the person who publicized his porn consumption.

Your userbase isn't the problem.

oh god, you just reminded me, Sweden has one in september, my cynical ass can't handle this rn

Day 7 | Himemiya Anthy

yeah this is probably gonna be the peak for me

Yeah, VTubing really SHOULD be better about no letting jackasses in the space. Shout to all the trans and Black VTubers out there, y'all are fighting a war

VTubing has such a great potential for creativity & community, but unfortunately has the worst tendency of the anime community, with racist & transphobic folk plus the culture of streaming, which makes the whole thing worse

The White House shitter account posted a pro-iran war propaganda video that included clips of the yugioh anime, so I figure this is a good time to remind everyone that Kazuki Takahashi was staunchly anti-war and he died a hero, unlike any american in Iran right now.

Funny thing is that if these protagonist were women or black, they would hate their guts & call them annoying. The only way to combat the chuds is to forcefem Walter White

my only beef is that amoral protagonist are mainly white men. There's a whole diversity of shitty people, let us have a go!

mecha fans are kinda stupid because they don’t understand that recommending a show by talking about it’s “cultural and historical importance” is never gonna convince your average joe normie the same way showing them a cool scene or weird lil guy will.

whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same #wutheringheights

Their relationship is basically:
Hiyazaki: "You are gross and stinky"
Anno: "You're secretly a pervert : )"

2 kobolds standing next to each other. one has pink skin and is in an airy purple wrapped fabric dress with gold trim, her pose is elegant, facing away from the figure on the right but eyeing in her direction. the other has dandelion skin and is wearing a loose red crop top, with urban splinter cargo paints with pockets and a kneepad, and big red and black hightop shoes; her hands have gloves, and she's also wearing red tinted aviator goggles on her forhead. her eyes are closed, and she is facing the camera with a hand on her hip and another gesturing in the air. she is visibly sweating a bit.

Look at the attached chart to learn how and why free image hosting services are reliable, eternal and always a good idea:

I think the biggest damage to the art community was the obsolescence of gallery sites (y!, deviantart, etc) and the rise of scroll-by social media, like twitter and even tumblr. Art is not ''content'', you shouldnt need to post art every day (or every month!) to be relevant. This mindset sucks.
