Is Subversive Creativity Paying Bribes to Stay

Warning, the content you may find there maybe offense or somewhat disturbing, and completely “Not Safe For Work”. So proceed at your own discretion. But the content is not what I am posting this link for; it’s the plausible allegations that the owner is making. In the post that (linked below) the owner makes claim that he is paying $200 a month to keep his erotic fan art blog from being taken down again. Apparently, the first iteration of his blog was deemed inappropriate and taken. Which Tumblr has right the to do whether you agree or not. But, the owner of Subversive Creativity in an attempt to overturn his flagging, he was contacted by someone they have dubbed Mr. S. Mr S. Who told the owner that the can bring it back, and keep their blog up for monthly payments of around 200 dollars. While there is no link to this Mr S character and the people who moderate Tumblr; there are question that this raises. Like are other NSFW blogs being extorted to avoid flagging? Or, if Mr. S is apart of the moderation system or simply knows a work around for the flagging and blocking? While I may not have the answers to those questions; I do know this is morally wrong. It is not all the different from the cliche scene in an old mob movie. Where the baker has to pay make sure “nothing happens to his nice little shop” . http://subversive-creativity.tumblr.com/tagged/Subversive%20Updates

#PlayForParis

Dear Friends and Family, With the recent horror and attacks in Paris fresh in our minds, with so many injured or dead, there seems to be one solution we can all agree on. Let’s help people.

World suicide Prevention Day/Suicide and me

So today is suicide prevention day. And I feel its fitting to talk about my own battles with depression and suicide.  First off don’t worry this isn’t my suicide letter nor am I still contemplating the notion of it. That has come and past. This more or less my story/ attempt (as cheese as it sounds it) things can get better. I began to sink into depression when I was around 18. I just found out my senior year of High School that even though had enough credits to be senior they weren’t right one. After failing to explain what certain classes were in my transcript. I found myself having to come to school early and staying late to make up classes I had already passed. After one semester of this, I get called into the counselor office again. After all that work it seemed I was still missing classes ,and again I found myself trying to tell what was what on my transcript. But once again I ended up more work. At this point what little confidence I had was gone. I didn’t feel clever, or smart. I had lost the thing that everyone said  Feeling overwhelmed and defeated. I failed 3 classes and ended up going to independent study program. Where I finished 1 semester worth of classes in two months. Even though I had repaired some of the damage done to my academic life. The scars were and someways still here.  I found what remained of the old me in a state where I outwardly kept up appearances but inwardly. It was there shame and this odd feeling being less than human. I threw self into video games, anime, and other things, because that was the moments my head wasn’t filled. Thoughts of suicide or how much of a non human failure I was. I was getting to point where couldn’t do things like washing dishes, with out my own imagination conjuring up vivid depiction. Of taking the knife I am cleaning and plunging in between carefully though ribs. Because “I knew where to aim and I knew if I could get one thing right is be this”. Kinda scary when the only place you have confidence is in your ability to kill yourself. Well after two years with a self-destructive mindset. Thoughts became actions. Where I began carefully placing the knife chest, where I wrapped belts around my neck, and guns back pointed at myself. Those small act became planing. I would was gonna where there was no mess. Got to be still considerate of everyone else right. After the attempted failed. I took as sign some part of me wanted live(but now that look back at it may have adrenaline). Whether it was a hormonal response or not. I used this as an opportunity to reexamine myself. I answered all the questions that most people in there late teens and early twenties are still asking themselves. Form religious beliefs to sexuality and attraction. I came out on the other end happily nerdy, a lot more empathetic to people (fucking hippie) and somewhat self aware.  So sure I still might have a day where I feel like shit for no logical reason, but I can say as person with depression and has had suicidal thoughts. That cheesy advice you might get like “there’s light at the end of the tunnel.” or “it gets better”. For most part it does, Whether it be thought the help of pills, friends, family, or hobby. A battle with suicidal can be won.

Gamergate the swastika of the gaming world.

So if you aren't personally into hardcore gaming. You probably never heard of gamergate. Gamergate is a complex mess at best. There is people using the gamergate hashtag to harass and threaten prominent females in gaming media, under the cover of calling out corruption in gaming media. There is another portion claiming the hashtag to fight agiainist the people harassing. The first group were basically using the issue of corruption in gaming journalism to go after certain women in the gaming. They for the most part they directed aggresion to a few women. They honestly never brought any points. Like how certian gaming publications arriving allowed review games a week before anyone else to get a favorable critique. All the realy did was give honest gamers a bad name. The second group came to be after a few gaming sites made articles without titles like "gamers are dead" or "gamers are going extint". Certian gamers took offensive to this including myself. These articles either made a claims that gamers were dying off or were part of the people harrasing women on twitter. So a few angry gamers used the gamergate hashtag and others like not your shield. To speak up against harrasment and death threats. Trying to prevent the word gamer from becoming associated horrible acts. But back to point I'm trying make in the title. For the most part gamergate is associated with harrasment and death threats. Forever muding it for use in othwer ways. Alot like the swastika. It once represented something diffrent to but all we know it as symbol of violence and hate. The hashtag ganergate truly become the swastika of the gaming world.

kay i feel like i have social anxiety but im not entirely sure i do?/ help

well maybe i’ll be able to help u a little!!

quick definition because:

s.a.d. is an anxiety disorder in which a person feels an extremely excessive and unreasonable fear/terror in many/all social situations. it’s really broad, social anxiety, and ranges from moderate to severe. it basically limits you from doing things most people would find easy (ie; talking on the phone can turn into several panic attacks, crying, shaking, almost passing out, or could make you generally very uncomfortable etc.)(some have it extremely bad while others don’t suffer from it as bad)

signs you may have it:

people with social anxiety disorder usually feel/experience extreme emotional distress/fear in situations such as these:

Being introduced to other people

Being teased or criticized

Being the center of attention

Being watched while doing something

Meeting people in authority (“important people”)

Most social encounters, especially with strangers

Going around the room (or table) in a circle and having to say something

Interpersonal relationships, whether friendships or romantic

Constant, intense anxiety is one of the biggest symptoms of social anxiety.

List of common things people with s.a.d are triggered by (eg if any of these things cause you emotional distress, extreme discomfort, or even attacks, you may have social anxiety. again, not a doctor, but as someone who suffers from s.a.d. i can vouch for this)(some of these are repeats from the last point)

Meeting new people

Being the center of attention

Being watched while doing something

Making small talk

Public speaking

Performing on stage

Being called on in class

Going on a date

Making phone calls

Using public bathrooms

Taking exams

Eating or drinking in public

Speaking up in a meeting

Attending parties or other social gatherings

So, yeah if you feel;

Intense anxiety in social situations,

you avoid social situations completely,

and even experience many physical symptoms of anxiety, including confusion, pounding heart, sweating, shaking, blushing, muscle tension, upset stomach during social encounters

there’s a chance you could have s.a.d.

Sorry there’s so many symptoms, just one more bullet point of some of the emotional signs:

Fear of situations in which you may be judged

Worrying about embarrassing or humiliating yourself

Concern that you’ll offend someone

Intense fear of interacting or talking with strangers

Fear that others will notice that you look anxious

Fear of physical symptoms that may cause you embarrassment, such as blushing, sweating, trembling or having a shaky voice

Avoiding doing things or speaking to people out of fear of embarrassment

Avoiding situations where you might be the center of attention

Having anxiety in anticipation of a feared activity or event

Spending time after a social situation analyzing your performance and identifying flaws in your interactions

Expecting the worst possible consequences from a negative experience during a social situation

what you can do:

-talk to parents, ask to seek help from a counselor or therapist.

resources:

-mayo clinic s.a.d info page (super helpful)

-helpguide on social anxiety

-canadian mental health association on social anxiety

relatively accurate tests to see if you could have it (be 100% honest and you’ll get quite accurate results. again, this is not a proper diagnosis but it’s a great start).

-this one (this test is almost the exact same test my therapist first gave me when checking to see which anxiety disorders i suffered from)

-this one

hopefully this helps you at least a little!! if you need more help/need to talk about anxiety feel free to message me anytime!

Well, when it comes down to it. Seek help. No internet post can diagnose psychological issues. When it comes to your health mental or physical, no website can equal a professional opinion.
