Do you like dogs? Do you like video games? Do you like dogs from video games? If yes, then this is the tournament for you!
I’ve been wanting to host my own bracket for a while now - ever since I submitted a character to one of them a few months back, swore to myself I wouldn’t get invested in the results, but then ended up doing just that. Thanks a ton to @artificialkids-2k23-official, without whom this bracket wouldn’t exist!
The rules for submission are fairly straightforward, but I’ll list them here anyway.
An obvious one, but all characters submitted must be dogs, wolves, or mythical creatures that are canine in nature (i.e. Cerberus or a dog-like Pokémon). Foxes are on thin ice.
Anthropomorphic dogs are okay.
Characters must have originated from a video game or visual novel. If they appear in a game, but it’s an adaptation of a movie, for example, they won’t be counted.
Named characters are preferred and will be given priority. I’m not saying that you can’t submit Granbull or every Nintendog, but in the case that there are more submissions than bracket spaces, they probably won’t make it in.
Please only submit one character at a time. The form is open to multiple responses per person, so you can submit as many characters as you like. (Just be reasonable with it and don’t send the same one over and over again?)
Currently, the plan is for submissions to close on June 9th, but this may be subject to change based on the amount of traction this bracket gets.
For @videogamedogbracket on tumblr. Submit your favorite good boy or girl here!
Finally, here’s a quick list of characters that are automatically going to be entered into the bracket as per the “poll runner’s bias” clause. I guess you can still submit them if you want to, but it won’t really do anything...?

(List of competing serpents will be under the cut if you can’t read it)
Propoganda is allowed and encouraged, so long as it is not hateful or slanderous towards any competing snakes, your fellow voters, or either blog moderator. Please tag this blog in your propoganda if you want us to reblog it! You can also just reblog from a poll and put your propoganda there, but tagging us boosts the odds that we’ll see it. Have fun and may the best serpent win!
This was Ordered Reported on May 4th to the floor of the Senate, meaning it cleared committee.
It is unconscionable that at a time when women, girls, trans folks, and other marginalized communities are being persecuted in GOP-led states for exercising bodily autonomy and their right to seek information and travel for Congress to enact a law that threatens the right to privacy and which weakens people's ability to use encryption to protect that privacy.
Far from protecting vulnerable children, this law will make it easier for unscrupulous police departments to implement dragnet searches to punish women who seek information on contraception, and will make it much harder for teens especially to access reproductive care without fear of retaliation, and will further have a chilling effect that will cause more suffering and death of the kind we are already seeing in the post-Roe environment.
It will also make it easier for the GOP to continue their anti-trans witch hunt, as basic sexual education material is already being characterized as a criminal act in states like Florida and Tennessee, and the loss of privacy protections will make it easier to prosecute people for these things.
As annoying and banal as interacting with your reps' staff can be (and make no mistake, is often is both), it CAN make a difference if enough people call in about the same issue. They do track that sort of thing, if only for their re-election campaigns, and on a bill like this which is primarily being pushed for the optics of DOING SOMETHING TO PROTECT THE CHILDREN, making enough noise can scare some of the more skittish congresscritters away from voting yes on this.
This will be the only non-poll related post on this account, as this is a pressing global issue, and I have much more reach on this account than my main. Please, if you are in a position to help oppose this, do as much as you can.
If you cannot do anything directly, I ask that you spread this as far as you can, especially to those in the USA.
