⚠️ A NOTE ABOUT ITCH.IO ⚠️

Dear #GameDev: I'm not going to pretend I know all the details, or that I should be considered an expert, but we need to talk about this situation. 🧵

P.S. - Jump to the end of the thread for what you personally can do to help address the situation.

Welcome to Pride Wrath Month! ⚔️🏳️‍🌈⚔️

For ostensibly a dress-up game? Fashion crimes or violating the Geneva convention, could go either way really

The Cut article from 2018: Cuomo halted investigation into Weinstein case after $25K donation from his former lawyer

holy shit. Cuomo halted an investigation into the Weinstein case after a donation from Weinstein’s former lawyer’s firm to his reelection campaign…

Your nostalgia for HP does not and never will be more important than trans lives, safety and welfare.

Get rid of the media, stop buying the merch and don't support new things cause it just lines that hateful transphobes pockets so she can continue to use her wealth for evil.

Had an "oh hey this author is awesome and hm, it appears I've rabbit-holed on her work" kind of night....oops but no regrets

Feels like surrealist hell to have spent half the day going over a classmate's sloppy AI-generated reviews of nonexistent poems and stories for literary magazine submission review, then have LinkedIn excitedly pushing posts to my notifs boasting how quickly AI models are surpassing each other
