I want to make a statement here and now:

However horrid you are to indie creators will always be one of the largest metrics for when and how I block you. You people are sickening

[crypticarchivist]

An important addition.

they gotta put all their eggs in the "male socialization" basket cause some trans women don't even have the body parts they fearmonger about but they still want to control them

[mousidy]

like at this point in the like... 10+ years trans women have been a go-to wedge issue, everyone knows how chromosomes don't necessarily determine phenotype, everyone knows bottom surgery exists, everyone knows some people don't even produce gametes at all, everyone knows we don't stop calling cis women women after a hysterectomy

the well of bioessentialist arguments is starting to run dry cause everyone knows the facts that disprove them. so they've had to greatly exaggerate how socialization works and how immutable it is cause what the hell else are they gonna do, lol

I think a canon event for most Mage the Ascension fans is looking at other properties like the Elder Scrolls or Warhammer40k and going “I could run a mage game in this setting.”

And then resisting the urge to do so immediately because you have to focus on the current topic.

Out of all the WoD brainworms, Mage’s breed of brainworms is the most persistent.

"the education system traumatizes students it deems stupid" and "the education system traumatizes students it deems gifted" are two concepts that can and should coexist.

[doubleca5t]

I think I've got a compromise

I should not need to tell people that if you anonymously send me links I’m not following them. Seriously

[crypticarchivist]

I seriously think that Chronicles of Darkness/World of Darkness crossovers are an untapped market. Like in the case of Storytellers straight up lifting cool shit from one setting and airdropping it into the other with a sort of “fuck it. This is just happening now” kinda attitude.

Like take Deviant the Renegades for instance. The entire CONCEPT of the Web of Pain is a really cool one. Don’t tell me your Vampire or Werewolf or Hunter story could never benefit from discovering a superhuman trafficking network in their territory. Especially if like the Second Inquisition or Pentex is involved.

Cut out all the bullshit, all the excuses and platitudes, and a lot of you people just hate people for making art, and then you look for reasons to justify that hate afterwards.

And I don’t care about your justifications. If you’re one of those people I hate you. Hate you to the day I die bitch. Maybe even after. I would haunt your asses until you collectively get over this weird fucking grudge you pathetic freaks have against artists, and stop harassing people on AO3, and stop using Ai to mess with people’s writing and drawings, and stop forming hate campaigns against popular indie artists so they can mobilize and look for any retroactive reasoning you can latch onto to hate those artists for being artists and receive praise for hating artists and even if an artist is a bad person I still know that you fucks are hating for the wrong reasons.

If you hate artists I hate you. Simple as.

Disgust has absolutely no ethical weight. If you are basing your ethical positions on the emotion of disgust you should stop, it is entirely unjustified and leads to a huge amount of harm.

[word-for-today]

Word for today: wisdom of repugnance

The logical fallacy that because something disgusts you it must be bad

[obscenicon-deactivated20231123]

this is probably the funniest example of a tumblr user simply not reading the post theyre reblogging at all

[steelblue8]

Reblog if you are a freak who is justifying their gross actions

[biceratops7]

Edit: people have been blowing up my notifications arguing about whether or not this is transmisogynistic. I made a poll for that, consider voting, I want a decent sample size

Watching the LEAKED episode from TADC is actually disrespectful.

Not saying you're a bad person for it, but it's extremely disrespectful to Gooseworx and Glitch.

can I just say that we all owe Kojima an apology for Metal Gear Solid 2? He looked right into the camera and said “the future of information control will not be censorship, it will be drowning people in trivial noise and misinformation until people partition themselves into their own separate realities” in TWO THOUSAND AND ONE. Three years before Facebook existed. Kojima gave us the biggest Babe-Ruth-pointing-at-the-sky called shot of all time and we weren’t ready for it.

I am so tired of short-attention-span, trim-the-fat culture. All writing advice these days is for how to write like Chuck Palahniuk. "Cut 'think', cut 'feel', cut 'wonder' - only action, only pushing forward, show and move and move and move." What if I could emulate this style, and still don't want to? What if I want to write like Henry James, with three paragraphs of introspective musings between each dialogue line? The music advice is, "make it shortform, make it Tik-Tok compatible, make it punchy, hit the refrain as soon as possible." What if I want that 10-minute prog rock piece? What if I want that symphony? What if I want it slow and luxurious and lazy? Movies. Series. Poetry. Bodies. Everything is "trimmed trimmed trimmed trimmed, stripped bare, you have three seconds to win me over, make it airport chic." I don't want to win you over, then, I guess. I want the fat left it. I want the pleasure and the indolence and the indulgence. Fuck this art-advice that's always "your art needs Ozempic."
