Once when I was in undergrad, someone described something as “problematic” in class and our professor was like, “That’s cool, but ‘problematic’ doesn’t really mean anything. It means that the thing you’re describing has a problem, and in and of itself that’s not bad. Art, especially, should always have problems, or else it’s not interesting and not art, either. It sounds like you’re trying to say that this is bad, but you don’t want to say ‘bad.’ Is that right?”

So from then on whenever one of us called something problematic, he would make us talk it out until we could name the “bad” thing we were hinting at. In this particular class, 7/10 it was some type of oppression, and the remainder was like, “I’m uncomfortable because this is very new/confusing/pushing boundaries that made me feel safe.”

Once we stopped calling things “problematic” and stopping at that, class got way more interesting and... we all had to say, like, “that’s racist” or “that’s misogynistic” or “ew capitalism gross” out loud, which a lot of us had never done in a classroom before. Or we had to be like, “Uhhh... I’m not sure what’s so bad?” and confront our own beliefs and that was maybe even more useful.

Anyway. Whenever I see the word problematic, I can’t help but think of this professor being like, “Good starting point, now let’s get specific.” I think when we have to commit to saying “that’s ___” it requires a lot more careful thought about the truth and impact and complexities of whatever we’re claiming. Sometimes there really is some bullshit afoot, and also sometimes it’s art, and it should be full of problems, because that’s what art is.

This pride month, remember that there is no exception to acceptance.

If you support queer people until they use multiple labels or micro labels, you are queerphobic.

If you support trans people until they are not conventionally attractive or do not fit into traditional gender roles, you are transphobic.

If you support queer people of colour until they criticise the present racism within the queer community itself, you are very much racist!

Being in the community itself does not exempt you from being bigoted.

You stand with all of us, or you stand with none of us.

[helmet-noob]

you are no better than our oppressors!!

Rws are kind of testing the grounds of what’s acceptable and what’s not.They are conservative.So,believe me, if it wasn’t for a massive outrage of people about AI,they would be okay with Bullet Paradise.Hell, they would be okay with Postal 3 if people did not boycott it!But since they do not want to lose the majority of their auditory,which is left leaning, they play pretend to cater to us.No AI, Dude is bi, supports trans rights, etc.

It’s better they at least pretend to be supportive of us than they would be full blown MAGA, but it’s important to know they aren’t truly on our side.They do that because left leaning people bring them more money than right wingers do.The other way around and we’d have KKK unapologetically in the game and “Fuck Liberals” on the Rws site banner.

obligatory pride month post from your local medic

we gotta get back to torrent distribution, i just watched someone eat eight grand in bandwidth charges because they ran a direct-download piracy site with local file hosting through cloudflare. torrents were invented literally for this exact reason

[estro-boi]

torrents work like this

i have a file or folder on my pc that i want to share with other people. let's call it gayshit.mp3

unfortunately gayshit.mp3 is 750mb and im not paying for discord nitro so i need another way to send it

i put it into qbittorrent and it makes a torrent file. this is essentially a very small file that points to gayshit.mp3 so other computers can find it. kinda like a treasure map

i send this tiny file to my friend, who loads it into qbittorrent. their computer takes a moment to find mine over the vast expanse of cyberspace and then (as long as my pc is running and the file is still where it should be), it gets copied from my hard drive to theirs

this is the cool part: if somebody else loads that tiny file, they can download it from both of us. if i'm offline but my friend is on, the third person can still get it. this also means that if two people have separate halves of the file, they can download the other half from each other. as long as some combination of people have the pieces between them, they can all have the whole thing.

crucially this does not require a server!!! you can just upload the file to a few people and as long as they keep it, it's still accessible. as long as somebody, somewhere is still connected, it's available forever. the only way it goes away is if everybody disconnects from it.

please learn to torrent

I love P1 Dude so much it physically hurts me. I love him in his late twenties. I love him in his early twenties. I love to see him drawn as a pretty boy. I love to see him drawn as an ugly creep. I love when people picture him as a gun nut conspiracy theorist. I love when people picture him as a good Catholic boy with immense guilt. I love when people picture him as a war vet with PTSD. I love to see him skinny. I love to see him with a bit of muscle. I love it when he's bitter and guarded. I love him when he's weird and off putting. I love him when he's shy and sweet. I love him when he's on his healing arc. I love him when he's completely lost it. I love his paranoid delusions. I love his religious psychosis. I love his self-harm scars. I love his gun fetish. I love his acne. I love his long metalhead hair. I love his straitjacket. I love his green eyes clearly visible. I love his eyes hidden behind his shades. I love him wearing a golden cross. I love him wearing a silver cross. I love all possible imaginings of him.
