After Veggie Tales was bought by DreamWorks, Mr Nezzer's voice actor needed to be replaced because he violated DreamWorks policy on characters need to be voiced by someone of the same ethnicity. Their reasoning for why a talking pickle violated this policy is that his voice was modeled after Oogie Boogie from A Nightmare Before Christmas, who was voiced by a black man. So DreamWorks decided that because Oogie Boogie was voiced by a black man, the walking pile of bugs was also black, and because Mr Nezzer has a similar voice to Oogie Boogie, that makes the talking pickle black as well.

I should also note that the French peas and "Italian Hispanic" Mr. Lunt were not found in violation of this policy despite having very distinctive accents.

This means that when it comes to non-human characters who's voice is an impression of someone from another IP, they base whether it's a violation on the ethnicity of the actor who played that character, rather than that of the character themself.

So because the French Peas we're doing an impression of the French soldiers from Monty Python and the Holy Grail, who were voiced by Brits, they weren't considered violating this policy. Whoever Mr. Lunt's voice is modeled after must have also been voiced by a white man or something.

This means that even the most racist, stereotypical accent can be performed by a white voice actor as long as they're basing said accent of another white actor's racist accent. It also means if DreamWorks was to make a live action Samurai Jack movie, Jack must be played by a black actor since the original voice actor for him was also black.

You know what's dumb? Biology defines species as similar organisms capable of producing fertile offspring, but when two organisms classified as being different species are proven to be capable of producing fertile offspring with one another, they aren't re-classified as being part of the same species. Like, isn't the whole premise of science that it changes in the face of new evidence?

You know, Darwin never actually claimed that life wasn't the result of a creator. In fact, he rejected the notion of life spontaneously appearing by itself. Furthermore, his first revision clarifies that by when he said life had "been originally breathed into," he meant that a creator breathed the first form(s) of life into existence.

Furthermore, he never stated with any degree of certainty that all living things came from a single common ancestor, with the conclusion of his most well known thesis heavily implying that he has no idea how many "forms" there originally were.

All Charles Darwin proved is that we were wrong about where the separation between different kinds of animals lay.

I just realized that society places far too much faith in the logic of Aristotle. Aristotle was a fool that relied on his own understanding rather than seeking out knowledge. As a result, his "logic" led him to all kinds of wrong conclusions.

His logic is that the validity of an argument is based on its structure rather than its contents, using the structure of "A is B, C is an A, therefore it must also be B." This structure is incredibly fallible, as you're fitting things into your own preconceptions. For example, we can start his chain of reasoning with a rediculous statement like "French people are homosexuals." Because we start our line of reasoning with this, it is automatically assumed to be true, so any french person we put in the next statement, such as Vincent Cassel, will be "proven" to be homosexual by this chain of reasoning. And even if we switched the order of statement 1 (homosexuals are French), we will still arrive at incorrect conclusions like "Vincent Cassel isn't French." Aristotle's system of logic only leads to the spread of ignorance.

And before you accuse me of not applying his logic correctly, you can also realize the flaws of Aristotle's logic by looking at all the incorrect conclusions his logic led him to.

For instance, one of his "logical" beliefs was that everything was composed of some combination of fire, water, air, and earth. Even though water and earth only mix with each other and fire can't exist independently of air. But his logic will only result in "all things are made of fire, water, air, and/or earth, C is a thing, therefore C is made of fire, water, air, and/or earth"

Another thing his logic led him to believe is that women are immature, deficient, deformed, monstrous, and only useful for sex. Again, if we try to use Aristotle's logic, we can't disprove this belief. "Women are immature, deficient, deformed, monstrous, and only useful for sex. Amelia Earhart is a woman. Therefore, Amelia Earhart is immature, deficient, deformed, monstrous, and only useful for sex."

And yet, despite the flaws in Aristotle's ideas and logic, they were accepted by many philosophers and scientists of the Renaissance

“Papyrus is just as interesting of a character, if not more so, and deserves all of Sans popularity,” I say into the mic.

The crowd boos. I begin to walk off stage in shame, when a voice commands silence from the room.

“*they’re right,” I look to the owner of the voice. There in the fifth row stands Sans Undertale himself.

sorry yall this is law i dont make the rules anyways who wants to make some papyrus headcannons with me

[asthonman]

I have a good one; just scroll down past the Skullgirls reblogs. Also, the reason Papyrus makes the bars so wide is so that he can get in without having to add a door that the human could pick the lock of.

Edit: it's father down than I thought; here's a link.

Do you ever read a fanfic or see fanart and you're all like "these characters are all fictional and you're entitled to your feelings and interpretations of them", but at the same time you're just like "Oh my god, this is the shittiest take on X character that I've seen and I'm almost offended by how wrong your portrayal is. Either you're projecting big time or you've misunderstood them entirely."

[platinumsupa]

Sorry I just really felt this tag

[22goats-in-a-trenchcoat]

Almost every take of mcu peter. I feel like writers keep projecting onto him and ending up with a different character so often. Not that it's a bad thing, but it's wierd to read when you're looking for a more accurate representation of him

[asthonman]

Frankly, MCU peter is a bad take of comic book peter.

[WHEW. FINALLY SOME ALONE TIME. I UNDERSTAND THAT FUKUA MISSED ME, BUT I’M GETTING WORRIED SHE MIGHT BE GETTING TOO CLINGY.]

[...OR MAYBE JUST SUSPICIOUS.]

[YOU KNOW I CAN READ THIS, RIGHT? I DON’T KNOW WHO YOU’RE EVEN TRYING TO HIDE THIS MESSAGE FROM. I KNOW THE DIRECTOR MIGHT NOT SHOW IT, BUT HE IS SMART TO SOME DEGREE.]

[YOU KNOW, I’M...NOT HAPPY ABOUT THIS EITHER. BUT I’M FAR MORE WORRIED ABOUT WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF THEY KNEW EVERYTHING YOU AND I KNEW THAN I AM ABOUT THEM DECIDING THERE’S SOMETHING WRONG WITH ME. AT LEAST THEN, THEY’D STILL HAVE A-]

[...I’M NOT ALONE.]

““…””

[GHOST!!!]

[UH. OKAY. HEAR ME OUT. I KNOW THIS LOOKS BAD, BU-]

““…!””

[OKAY. SO THAT LOOK IMPLIES THAT YOU’RE NOT GOING TO HEAR ME OUT. BUT WHAT IF-]

““!!!””

[WAIT WAIT WAIT, DON’T-]

[...AND SHE’S GONE. THIS IS GOING TO...THIS IS GOING TO BE A PROBLEM, ISN’T IT.]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“SO. APPARENTLY FORTUNE’S STILL GOT SOMETHING TO HIDE, YEAH. HOLED UP IN HER ROOM TRYING TO RESPOND TO A QUESTION WITHOUT US AROUND, SAYIN’ THAT SHE WAS ‘WORRIED WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF WE KNEW WHAT SHE AND THEY KNEW’. I’M GUESSIN’ ‘THEY’ MEANS THE PEOPLE ASKIN’ US ALL THE QUESTIONS.”

{WHICH YOU UNDERSTOOD JUST BY READING HER EXPRESSION.}

“YOU WANT MY HELP OR NOT?”

““…””

“SHUT IT.”

Alright. So what do we do about it? 

[UHHHH. HELLO! I’M BACK.]

“Robo...”

““…””

{WHAT ARE YOU DOING, FORTUNE. I THOUGHT THAT WE WERE DONE WITH THIS SHIT AFTER VALENTINE DEALT WITH YOUR...WHATEVER BRAIN DRAIN DID.}

[WELL, THAT’S KIND OF...]

“HEY. GHOST SAID SOMETHIN’ ABOUT AN INBOX?”

[OH! WELL, I DON’T KNOW, I-]

Fortune!

{(why are you threatening her with a-)}

Ssh. Fortune. What are you keeping from us.

[WELL. YOU SEE. IT’S.......UH...YOU KNOW WHEN....]

[...YOU AREN’T GOING TO LIKE IT?]

“Robo, please. I don’t know what’s wrong, but we can’t-”

“JUST SHOW IT DAMMIT, I’M LOSING MY FUCKING MIND OVER HERE.”

[...NNGH....OKAY.]

...Oh my God. I think-

{WAIT, SO IS HE SAYING IT’S OUR FAULT THAT THE SKULLGIRL HASN’T SHOWN UP? OR...THAT...}

She did. She did show up, but I can’t...why can’t I remember her? That’s where...they all died. Holly, Esther, Patty, Christmas, they all died to her, so why can’t I...there was destruction, the Medicis were scattered-weren’t they? But they’re still...and...

Why can’t I remember her? Why can’t I remember what she looked like!? She killed my comrades, she killed my girlfriend, so why can I barely remember she EXISTS unless I’m actively-

“....It’s our fault?”

[WELL-THAT’S THE THING, I DON’T KNOW, BUT THERE’S-IT’S...FUKUA, PLEASE DON’T BLAME YOURSELF. PLEASE. I SWEAR, YOU DON’T NEED TO TAKE THE BLAME HERE, IT’S-]

[CAN WE PLEASE TALK ABOUT THIS OFF CAMERA?]

{...OFF WHAT NOW?}

Well, I assume she’s still uploading this.

[...YEP! I AM. SORRY, I GUESS I SHOULD HAVE TURNED THAT OFF! LET ME JUST-]

Wow. The characters already acknowledged me as being particularly talkative, but this marks the second status-quo altering reveal I am personally responsible for on the blog. It's times like this that make me wish I hadn't made my unfinished undertale au comic my main blog.

You know what's funny? Despite all your claims of Lab 8 abandoning their cause, they have at least 2 combat-ready ASG units and many more in training. What do you have again? Oh, right, an rebellious girl you need mind control just to use, a clone you gave up on for not looking right, and a meme-spewing AI created out of spite. 2/3 of your units weren't originally made to fight skullgirls, and none of them seem all that well trained with their abilities. (Part 1 of 2)

We’ve definitely made some...charitably, mistakes along the way. I can’t deny that. Actually, I’ll admit, Lab 8 probably does have the right way of things, or at least closer to it. But I-

[EXCUSE ME, BUT I THINK YOU MISUNDERSTAND THE SITUATION HERE. AND VALENTINE, I’M APPALLED TO HEAR YOU SAY SOMETHING LIKE THAT! LAB 8 IS SIMPLY NOT UP TO SNUFF WITH US. QUALITY OVER QUANTITY! YES, OBVIOUSLY THERE ARE SOME KINKS TO IRON OUT WITH US, BUT OUR PROJECTS ARE INFINITELY SUPERIOR THAN ANYTHING LAB 8 HAS OR COULD COOK UP. YOU’RE LOOKING IN THE WRONG PLACES. PAINWHEEL AND FUKUA NEED FURTHER TRAINING, YES, OBVIOUSLY. BUT DUE TO PAINWHEEL’S ADVANCED ARTIFICIAL PARASITES AND THEIR INTERACTION WITH THE SKULLGIRL BLOOD EXPERIMENTS, SHE HAS THE CAPACITY FOR POWER THE LIKES OF WHICH LAB 8 COULD ONLY DREAM OF. FUKUA MAY LACK CONFIDENCE, BUT DUE TO SHAMONE’S ABILITY TO MIMIC ANOTHER PARASITE, COMBINED WITH GHOST’S PRESENCE AS A SEMI-CORPOREAL ATTACKER, SHE ALSO HAS GREAT POTENTIAL. AND WHILE I MAY HAVE BEEN CREATED OUT OF SPITE, AT THE LEAST I HAVE ADVANCED WEAPONRY AND A DRIVE FOR COMBAT. THE ONLY THING PEACOCK HAS A DRIVE FOR IS EARLY ONSET COUCH POTATO SYNDROME.]

“...Uhm, I-”

[AND EITHER WAY, IF CAMARADERIE WAS TRULY THAT IMPORTANT...THEN WHAT HAPPENED TO THE LAST HOPE?]

“Robo!”

“YIKES.”

...What indeed.

“What? Valentine, come on! You’re not seriously going to-Carol?”

{...I DON’T THINK THIS IS WORTH IT, FUKUA.}

“You...you don’t think it’s...”

[COME ON, FUKUA. IT’S OBVIOUSLY TRUE.  SURE, LAB 8 HAS SOME FIREPOWER BEHIND IT, BUT NOT ENOUGH. AT THE END OF THE DAY, THE FACTS ARE SIMPLE. LAP 0 SUPURRIOR, LAB 8 INFURRIOR.]

“No...no!! That’s not-that isn’t true! That’s not just not true, it’s-it’s-it’s bullsh-it’s just NONSENSE! I-come on, you...I know you know that’s a bunch of crrrr-a bunch of crap!”

“PACE YOURSELF.”

“Nnnngh-”

“Argh, no! I’m NOT pacing myself, okay!? They. Are. RIGHT! Brain Drain is an idiot, and he’s doing it wrong, and-and I don’t care what ‘potential’ we’re supposed to have!! None of us are here by choice, we all HATE it here, and he has to do a bunch of dumb sssshhh-a bunch of just-of NONSENSE to try to keep us in line, or else we’d KICK HIS ASS! His-ah-”

“ALRIGHT, YEAH, YOU CHANGED MY MIND. KEEP GOIN’.”

“Yeah! Yeah! I’m keeping going! Robo, if you-if you stopped for a second, for a MOMENT to think about what that guy just said, not only would you realize he was right, you’d realize that YOU THINK THIS TOO!! YOU’VE ALWAYS THOUGHT THIS! YOU THOUGHT BRAIN DRAIN WAS BAD, YOU THOUGHT THAT THE WHOLE ‘LAB 8 INFURRIOR’ THING WAS DUMB, AND YOU...YOU WERE ON OUR SIDE! YOU WERE MY FFFFFFFF-”

[FUKUA, PLEASE, YOU’RE BEING RIDICULOUS! LAB 0 IS THE CUTTING EDGE! AND HONESTLY, AS FAR AS I CAN TELL OUR LIVES HERE ARE GOOD. YOU HAVE FOOD, IMPORTANT WORK, ENTERTAINMENT THANKS TO ME-I MEAN, HONESTLY WHAT MORE COULD YOU REALLY BE ASKING F-]

*CLANG*

“GAGH-Dammit, my hand-!”

{FUKUA! ARE YOU ALRIGHT!}

That...didn’t sound good. Does anything feel like it’s broken?

“U-uhm, I’m...I think I’m fine. I’m probably fine.”

Not...exactly staggering confidence. I’m going to have to take a look.

[WAIT, I-]

*krrrrhshshlshhhhhk*

[WAIT, WHAT WERE WE TALKING ABOUT? FUKUA, WHY ARE YOU HOLDING YOUR HA-WAIT, NO, I THINK I-]

*kkkkkkkksshhhhhhhhrrrrrrrrrshshshhhhhhhhhhhhhhk*

[OH, FUKUA, YOU’RE INJURED. HERE, I THINK I CA-NO, WAIT, DIDN’T I-]

*kkkkkkrrrrrrrrrrssssssssssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhk*

[...I’M SORRY. I DON’T KNOW WHAT’S GO-]

*kkrshshsrshhhhrrrshh-byyeeeewww.....*

“...I....I just...I miss her so much...”

{I’M...I’M SORRY THAT YOU HAVE TO GO THROUGH THIS.}

“I just...do you...is there anything I can do? I mean, if I-”

“Like, if I tell him I’ll be good, or-or that I’ll-I don’t know, do you...do you think I can get him to give her back?”

{I...DON’T THINK IT’S THAT EASY.}

Nope. It’s even easier than that. I’m going to fix this. Now.

My first week of Inktober drawings. I've recently gotten really into Grounded, so the majority of my Inktober sketches will likely be based around that.

My 3rd and 5th drawings were sketches of ideas for new craftable items; the 3rd one being a "Backpack+" that lets you carry stems and planks on your back, and the 5th being several concepts for polearms.

Edit: also the last image is sideways for some reason. Whoops.

How to effectively argue on the internet

some important tips for anyone who likes to engage in forums, comment sections, and online chat rooms.

Accept that not everyone thinks like you. People have different beliefs, values, and experiences that shape their personalities. Some things that you value highly may not be shared by the person you’re arguing with.

Remember that not agreeing with you doesn’t make someone a horrible person. This one goes double for Social Justice Warriors. 9 times out of 10, your opponent just has different experiences and beliefs than you do. They genuinely believe that they are in the right, just like any other person. So don’t hate someone just because they have different beliefs than you. Accept, acknowledge, and adapt to them.

Absolutely no namecalling. You are attacking the person’s position, not the person themselves. A personal attack alienates your opponent, which will only strengthen their belief in their position. I don’t care if the person’s a bigot, an anti-vaxer, or a flat earther, if you don’t show your opponent respect, they aren’t going to respect you either.

Know your opposition. If you don’t understand you’re opponent’s position, you aren’t going to be able to effectively argue with them. Research opposing viewpoints, learn their arguments and positions, and prepare for them.

I hope this guide helps you in future online debates.
