The reason "That was years ago," is often coined isn't because TADC fans wanna consume the show guilt-free or are racist.

At least, that shouldn't be the default assumption.

It's because this lot in particular knows how what kind of toxicity this punative mindset results in, especially at a scale like what we've seen so far.

Fact is that as far as Michael and Ashley are concerned, they haven't exactly made off-color banter regarding misspeakings or mishearings in recent memory. When addressed, they acknowledge how it wasn't cool of them then.

So many go on about how "they were adults" or "they should've know better" but the fact is that nobody ever stops learning and we carry quite a bit of ignorance in ourselves. And sometimes it's a matter of stumbling into it and thinking back with cringe.

So other people responding to past behaviors by being some kind of digital SWAT Team is seen as an overstatement of harm. Feeling hurt isn't wrong. What can become wrong is how you choose to act on that hurt, especially if you're too hell bent on holding on it.

"Accontability" is bandied about so often but what does that mean? How does holding their feet to the coals over past off-color moments help solve issues in the present? Are we just meant to make an example of them? Take them to court to press charges?

What tangible goal is to come from this persecution?

Neither of Michael or Ashley made that guys at the convention blurt out a certain derogatory statement. Dude was fucked up and just acted on what was making the rounds on Twitter. This isn't something that can't be solved with Fandom usual "Name 'em n' shame 'em" M.O.

I can't help but feel an incident like this is because of how we want to help save the world or be like heroes swooping in to stop the bad people. We want big sweeping solutions to problems in our digital space but this isn't like the movies.

Things aren't always one extreme or the other. There's a spectrum

I had a fantastic day at the con meeting my friends and a bunch of you guys, it really helped my mental state A LOT and meeting cast was fantastic too. I’ll post pictures and videos on day 3 but right now I just want to send this message to everyone who is in or out of the fandom that when it getting too much you can leave anytime and focus on friends your own space that makes a community great or meet each other irl. It truly helped me a lot ♥️

Also don’t worry I’m planning to make more fan games I got my passion back

Dear god they suck so much and they often take longer for tasks that would be done much more quickly by hand and yet the management is convinced it's an innovative new pipeline or whatever. BURST THAT BUBBLE.

One of the most hilarious things to happen last week was my boss struggling to generate an image of an informational sign we designed inside an acrylic frame. I did it in three minutes with Photoshop.

Dude, people are using ASK BOXES to spoil TADC for people. I just got one, and it was a summary of the ENTIRE episode. I'd recommend turning off your asks for a bit. If not, be careful when scrolling through your inbox.

Holy SHIT dude I am so sorry about that, people are inSANE! Thank you for the warning

Seen a few posts on this and thought I'd put in my two cents.

Whilst it's correct that tumblr has no control over the ID thing, what they do have control over is their mature content filters. If you weren't before, now is the time to get really fucking insistent that they fix their extremely broken mature content filters.

Politely.

"Dear tumblr,

The combination of the new ID verification requirements, and the extremely janky mature content filters, means that tumblr is now unusable for me. Any posts that get tagged in error as mature will be completely blocked out, and I won't be able to see them.

It would be helpful if you had a function that allows the userbase to report incorrectly applied maturity filters for staff to remove, so that I can continue to enjoy my favourite site. Otherwise, I will be forced to leave the site until the ID legislation in my country is repealed/reversed."

Ta-da! That easy. Feel free to copy that text if you want. Feel free to mention you won't be going through ID verification due to concerns about the security of your data. Expand on it however you want, I'm not your parent.

But this is an opportunity to present a solution to something that's been pissing us off for a while now, and it gives us, the userbase, a better opportunity to combat report bombing of trans folks and black folks. I think we're morally obligated to push for this.

We got the reblogs rolled back. Time to leverage that unity for this as well.

Gameoverse was pretty good! A lil fast paced and throwing stuff at me a lot but I understood what was going on, animation was fucking phenomenal (also really nice sprite work which was a bonus)
