Thanks, tumblr mobile, for unintentionally making this even funnier
This is Sniper’s right thumb I’ve seen in various sfm photos. Did he hurt his thumb or something? His thumbnail is all black but the rest of his fingers/nails are fine looking.
Please explain?
His sniper rifle has a manually operated bolt action on the right-hand side. The bruise (a subungual haematoma) is caused by trying to reload too fast (too many people wanting him dead on the battlefield?) and getting his thumb caught in the sliding mechanism.
(Gif by Coverop.)
Watch how his right hand moves to pull back the handle, unload the spent cartridge case, and slide the fresh round into the breech:
(Gif by Payface.)
The bolt-action mechanism looks something like this (source: wikipedia) - it is allegedly quite painful to get your fingers pinched in it:
That’s Valve for you - completely ridiculous canon, perfectly detailed character designs.
What is or isn't a slur can be highly contextual, y'all.
"Jonny Sims bummed a fag off my ma" doesn't contain a slur, but "What are you, some kind of fag?" does.
"Queer studies", "the queer community" and "I'm queer"? Not a slur. Some bigot calling you a "dirty queer"? Slur.
"Be gay, do crimes" and "He's gay" ≠ slur, but "Ew, that's so gay" = slur.
In conclusion, stop buying into this fucking "q slur" bullshit. Queer people talking about the queer community aren't using it as a slur any more than a gay man calling himself gay is using that term as a slur.
Everyone tagging this as "Don't call people 'queer' if they aren't comfortable with it", I don't disagree with you, but I do have one question for you:
Why are you singling out "queer"?
Hi, I'm queer and I don't like being called gay. Why is it always "don't call people 'queer' if they don't like it" but never "don't call people 'gay' if they don't like it"? Or just "don't call people words they are uncomfortable with"?
Why is it only ever "queer" that gets singled out?
And why do you even feel the need to tag that onto this post? All I said was "stop tagging people referring to themselves this way as if it were the same as bigots hurling it as a slur".
Your art is amazing!! Can I request a Jane Crocker? She's my favourite character :)
I love her😍
Thank you!
Some people can lift 200 pounds. But if they carried it everywhere they went for an entire day without ever putting it down, they’d severely tear their muscles and cause permanent damage to their body.
Some people can enter a 140° car in the summer to get something out of the car. But if they stayed in the car, they’d die from the heat.
Some people can hold their breath underwater for 30 seconds. But if they tried to go scuba diving without the necessary gear, they’d drown.
Clearly, someone doing something for a short period of time does not automatically mean that they can do it indefinitely with no problem.
So why do people assume that if someone can walk for a few seconds, they don’t need a wheelchair?

From another article i read today 😭

he wasn’t even there to be a contestant he joined the crew as a CHINESE TEACHER but the directors noticed his good looks and begged him to compete. poor guy made it to the finals and if he had been one of the winners he would have been contractually forced to be in a boy band whether he wanted to or not
this is the closest any human being has ever come to actually being sold to One Direction
Wouldn’t it be cool if you could dream with other people, like multiplayer dreaming.
ive seen this tweet as a reply to 5 posts with completely separate concepts so at this point yall just lying

any “how to draw asian” tutorial will always be useless
when you go “dont draw an asian this way because it’s a racist stereotype” inevitably you will invalidate real asians with those physical traits
my very real skintone is now called “highlighter yellow” and my old babysitter’s buckteeth shouldn’t be drawn because people believe those kind of thing only exist in anti asian propaganda from american history
“well you can draw those! just dont exaggerate!” but my skintone wasnt even exaggerated, people online simply assume it cant possibly be real because it has yellow undertone. what am i supposed to do? take a selfie of my own skin and post it online? if the lightning is off just a little bit in that picture, then it wouldnt show that my skin has a yellow undertone
and of course, even fellow asians draw slanted eyes which perhaps in the context of western imperialism history is racist, but for people who grew up born and raised in an asian country with limited interaction with the history of western political cartoon propaganda, it’s just… the way we look
and im not talking about disney slanted eyes, im talking about real slanted. fox-like.
racism is contextual and the racism asian-american and other asians experiencing in the west will never be the same as the one native asians experience, and it will never be interchangeable. neither of our struggles are more important than the other, but it’s exactly why the very first point i made is important
your “how to draw asian” tutorials will always be useless, even as a “pointer so you wont draw like a racist”, because the racism you experienced isnt universal, and by god am i boiling still to have my very real skintone being called “highlighter yellow”
Add the fact that Asia is such a big place and many places are basically melting pots of various ethnicities. Whatever racial stereotypes of western society cannot encompass the ethnical diversity of the many Asian countries, whether it be the “good poc-approved” ones or the “bad really racist” ones.
When you create a “should-be” standard based on a limited view of what is basically 49 different countries with their own cultures and not to mention their various sub-cultures, the many ethnicities mixed all around and their own ethnic minorities, there will always be people who will be missed out as there isn’t one standard look or looks you can follow for Asians.
I’ll give a concrete example. While combatting the very real problem of Filipino Colorism and the stigma against wavy/curly hair by creating more content of Filipino characters with Kayumanggi (Brown) and wavy/curly hair, it is still true that there are Filipinos with lighter skintones and Filipinos with straight hair. Drawing darker-skinned Filipinos with wavy hair or encouraging people to do the same would be alright. But requiring that they do that every time they draw a Filipino character is not. This is because there isn’t a “single universal” feature that’s an end-all be-all for how Filipinos should look like.
Forcing your own standard is the same act as whatever those who started their own bad stereotypes before. There is a thin line between “You can also draw Asians like this” and “this is how you draw Asians.” And when you cross that line, you are effectively making your own stereotype and those Asians not falling within your stereotype will inevitably be excluded even if you did not intend for it to happen.
the standard of drawing asians is “there is no fucking standard”
#also this is what i hate about tumblrs and twitters how to draw x posts
#plus 99/100 times its thing’s already translated into ops artstyle making the post entirely pointless all together
#long story short google image search is your friend and if an explanation is specific to an artstyle
#chances are op understands it on a knowing how to draw level not how to teach it so you’re well off disregarding the post as well meant but #ultimately pointless

this is getting long but someone tagged that “the problem is when those features are exaggerated” and youre correct! but another problem is that… people has no idea what count as exaggerated or not, because once again, people who lives in different cultures would not be aware of other people’s context of racism
take me for example, a native asian from indonesia, who only learned about the concept of yellow peril after interacting with people on social media, and never thought of saturated yellow as anti-asian racism until a few years ago. have you shown a high school me a picture of an asian with the simpsons yellow as their skin color, i would have simply thought of it as a stylized choice.
and to the asians who live in america, i doubt they know that the indonesian word for indigenous has been used as a “proud slogan” to be racist against indonesian-chinese, because they are considered “foreign” and not “indigenous”.
i mean look at this art from makibao, a beloved childhood anime about horseracing
the human character surely looks like he could have been drawn by a racist american who think of asians as yellow monkeys, but turns out, it was created by a Japanese! and it’s simply an art style!
so how can you tell when an art is racist for sure? if not everyone is aware of everyone else’s experience of racism? when it’s sending a racist political propaganda, of course. which means blatant slogans against a specific race.
We know it’s racist when an American tells us it is.
I think that well-intended Americans tend to be deeply reactive about perceived racism because the consequences of racism in America is so dire, and we experience and or observe it in real time, in an environment clouded by American indoctrination where we are actively told it isn’t happening.
The difference that maybe matters here is that many Americans, particularly of certain age groups, grow up indoctrinated to the idea of equality. Americans grow up being told that anyone can be or accomplish anything because the playing field is even and that is the core of what makes America special; all it takes is gumption and elbow grease. This is the land of the free, equality and the American Dream. Everyone is created equal, everyone has equal value. Schools teach that racism and the consequences of it are something from some distant past, a lesson learned by others, and no longer applicable.
Very soon, real world experiences overtake that indoctrination and people split. They are either disillusioned or they lean into it because they benefit. A lot of people benefit.
Stereotypes and caricatures are tools to advance that benefit. They become weapons. Things that were never intended to be harmful elsewhere are added to an arsenal here that oppresses, dehumanizes, and harms. Murders.
That American self-centeredness I think, is more American hypervigilance – in the fog of that indoctrination, gaslighting and a system that results in and is rigged for violence of all types. People who see through the smoke are called “over sensitive” and “SJWs” and “PC culture” is vilified. “Lighten up, you snowflake, it’s just a [joke/cartoon/whatever]” —- as that [whatever] is used to perpetuate very real violence of all types.
America is in a perpetual state of hate and violence and we are told we are not and all the while, being non-white in America is actively dangerous.
The end result is what, I assume, looks like oversteering from the outside. It looks like selfishness and the inability to consider culture and history outside of our own. Maybe some of it is. Maybe it is desperation to stop what is being used, and long has been used, to keep visibility so low. It isn’t about hurt feelings. It is about death.
What happens when attempts to remove elements used here as weapons invalidate and dehumanize elsewhere? That is the space I think Americans are trying to navigate.
Partners in crime.
