was talking about bus ads with my coworkers yesterday and i'd only just mentioned the "reseller ads" before one of them said "yeah, the one for fucking your brother" and everyone nodded. yes yes we've all seen it
"I want children to suffer" is the ultimate flex by red-pilled conservative anti-feminist dorks who are equally racist when screeching about birth rates dropping.
So, in Tolkein lore, the world was originally flat, with most of the land in the middle (hence Middle Earth). But the Numenorians (men who were rewarded with their own Atlantis-equivalent island for service in the first big war against Melkor, but eventually Power Corrupts etc) tried to invade the uttermost west which was basically Elf Heaven. To put an end to that sort of thing, the creator of the world Bent The World and made it a sphere…but left elves able to treat it like a flat disk. So elves can sail west and reach Elf Heaven, but a man or dwarf or hobbit who sails west will eventually wrap around to the east coast of Middle Earth.
ID: A banner with grey 3D models of 5 kinds of manual wheelchairs in a line in front of the disability pride flag and text that reads "Manual Wheelchair References" /End ID
Edit: Since this post still gets picked up from time to time, an update is available for these models
For disability pride month, I decided to release a pack of 3D manual wheelchair models.
The pack includes 5 wheelchairs:
2 Active urban-style chairs (one of which includes a smart drive)
1 off-road active chair
1 children's wheelchair
and 1 standard "hospital" wheelchair).
All the wheelchairs are based off either wheelchairs I or friends of mine have used
Downloadable here!
or on the Clip Studio Paint Asset Store (ID 2097442) (there's been an issue with the CSP version, but the models in the download folder can be imported into clip studio paint until I can fix it)
More info about the download contents below:
The first download link includes the original .Blend file with all 5 chairs, as well as individual .obj or .fbx files the chairs (All but 1 have an .obj file, as they're only meshes. The chair with the smart drive is rigged, which is why it has an .Fbx file instead so it will retain that information) as well as a "read me" file that explains in more depth what kind of disability/character/lifestyle each chair is made for (These are just what I had in mind when I designed them, they are usable by other characters who don't fit the suggestions for the most part!) I wanted to include the Read Me contents in the CSP Asset Store listing, but CS said it was too long lol.
Also, as the title says, these files are free to use! While it's not mandatory, I would appreciate credit if you use them (or even just a tag so I can see the cool art you make with them!!)
I actually made these ages ago, the original plan was to use them in a series of posts then release the pack, but I never got around to making the series and so they've just been sitting here. I took a day off from art fight attacks to clean them all up and get them ready to post. If you experience any issues, let me know and I'll try to fix it up.
I had a couple more that were supposed to be in the pack including a sports (basketball/Tennis) wheelchair and some different styles of wheelchair, but I think the files corrupted so once I fix (or remake) them, I'll probably make a second pack.
"Go outside" not in the sense of "be in nature to reset your brain a bit" but in the sense of "go and look at how the world actually operates when you aren't in a bubble of people with your shared thoughts and beliefs every so often to remind yourself of how privilege actually operates in the real world."
"Trans men aren't victims of real transphobic violence, they're just seen as mentally ill girls (and therefore safe)" is a belief that only exists if you have never seen how women with schizophrenia are treated. Look at how conservatives SNEER the words "mentally ill" when talking about LGBT people they want to murder. Them calling you "mentally ill" is not a sign they want to protect you and help you "recover" like you think it is due to spending time on sites that are generally more positive to mentally ill people. When conservatives call someone mentally ill, they want that person locked up and forcibly medicated for the rest of their natural lives at best, and killed at worst. Go outside. Watch.
this is one of the reasons why I keep saying that everybody needs to read up and learn about fundies and christofascist belief systems. listen to stories from people who escaped those communities, especially the women and queer folk. the modern dominant culture is based on these people's belief systems. you cannot effectively understand transphobia until you understand how christian fundamentalists think and act and feel. because they're who makes the system and sets the culture, very deliberately so.
rhetorical games are their favorite! they have built entire ecosystems on gaslighting people into a lot of things. and it's so difficult to explain to anyone who hasn't experienced that firsthand, because these people act kinda like the cheshire cat. they speak in metaphors that look like normal words. they are the experts of dogwhistles. when they express what looks like pity to an outsider, it's not pity. it is a deep contempt and hatred, more often than not. it is a desire to do violence upon that person, more often than not. it's confusing because it's supposed to be. they have to bend themselves into knots in order to justify things in their heads. "love the sinner, hate the sin" is a great example. and unfortunately it is sometimes very effective brainwashing and people researching it fall victim, too. so like. take care of yourself. but listen to people who have gotten out of these cults and offshoots and the horror stories from people.
