HAPPY PRIDE MONTH EVERYBODY*

here's the lgbtq tag trending as it does regularly due to multiple porn bots catfishing using the same stolen pictures of the same trans woman on the same page

remember the year in review? this was one of the featured tags. note that despite neither the image nor video in the posts in this screenshot being marked as mature content, this screenshot of them is going to mark this post as mature content as soon as I post it

here's some of the lovely messages of positivity you can expect to get if you're a transfem on this platform! I cropped the real-life gore images out of the first one, the person in the second one has made multiple posts like this + pedojacketed me and still has that same account and does that same shit, and the the person in the third took weeks for tumblr to do anything about, because:

here's tumblr staff stating that making explicit death threats towards transfems is not a violation of the ToS or user guidelines!

and here they are stating it again! and while we're on the subject of who the user guidelines apply to:

here's SPECIFICALLY AND EXCLUSIVELY MY CONTENTLESS REBLOG of a year-old post with 15,000 notes being flagged as sexually explicit (over 100 times in case you thought it was maybe a fluke) despite the image in the post not actually showing anything, SPECIFICALLY AND EXCLUSIVELY MY CONTENTLESS REBLOG of a heated rivalry gifset showing two fully nude dudes fucking center frame getting flagged as sexually explicit, which it is according to tumblr's definition, but despite that it has tens of thousands of notes and in fact is so popular and shared that if you look over to the third image you can see that same gif as one of the trending tag thumbnails! and on that note:

here's an episode of an anime available on youtube with a TV-14 age rating that I posted a screenshot of that got flagged as sexually explicit, had the appeal denied twice, got fully nuked off the site, and then got my entire blog marked as mature for posting!

and here's that same already-marked-as-mature blog curiously being marked as mature a second time out of the blue 15 minutes before they dropped the age verification update that would hide mature content!

and here's my first blog of 13 years getting a SPECIAL type of mature flag that marks all of my posts as mature content individually and separately from the actual mature content label!

you don't get to appeal these terminations btw! they automatically and instantly deny your appeal and send you the rejection before you even get the email telling you they got the appeal and will carefully review it

not that appealing will do anything anyways! here's tumblr staff terminating me for explicit content when I appealed the explicit flag on a post that they accepted the appeal on after terminating me for it,

and here's tumblr staff denying my appeal on that termination, lying about why i was terminated, terminating my already-and-still-terminated blog a second time to change the termination reason to one i can't appeal, which they then upgraded from an account deactivation into a postmortem full account nuke! isn't that wild?

here's them doing it to me a second time

and here's tumblr staff terminating me FIVE TIMES in multiple weeks it took them to do anything about a burner blog and a post pedojacketing me and encouraging people to harass me forever over completely fabricated claims that everyone spreading it around admitted were false on the post itself by the way! note also how only the burner blog got deleted - but the main account? just a post removal. after weeks of it being reported and spread around. the fastest of my terminations during this period was three hours after making the account by the way!

which isn't an isolated occurrence, either! they'll pass over multiple open, avowed nazis posting swastikas and slur-filled nazi race science shit about how they think black people are biologically inferior subhumans for months on end to nuke some random transfem off the site in as little as 10 minutes after account creation, then take MULTIPLE MONTHS to respond to your report of someone sending you harassment messages to tell you that the content you reported has already been removed (because it's an ask in the inbox of an account they already terminated along with four others in the time it took them to respond)!

And to really send a clear message about where they stand, they've REALLY ramped up the termination of transfems since the start of pride! And everybody will act like you deserve it and are a subhuman unworthy of life if you don't openly support the multiple ongoing harassment campaigns against transfems, all enabled and quietly endorsed by tumblr staff and moderation!

Jan Misali had that post recently describing Homestuck as a visual novel. Forgive me if this was being humorously wrong on purpose to provoke a reaction but like. It's a sprite comic. it's a forum game combined with a sprite comic. that's what ms paint adventures was.

juney-blues

"it has nothing stylistically in common with a webcomic"

have you never heard of kid radd.

admittedly most sprite comics have more than one panel per page but like,

they're all stylistically aping video games. that's not an abnormal thing for a sprite comic to do. MSPA was incredibly blatant about aping ye olde text adventure games specifically, which inspired the format.

juney-blues

Insonicnia had animated flash pages!!!! not sure this was before homestuck but are we gonna say *this* isn't a comic now?

juney-blues

like perhaps the only point of contention i could see with this is that Andrew Hussie themself drew the sprites. but that'd be a very silly distinction to make and also look back at kid radd.

those sprites are original! and hell kid radd also has html narration and dialogue, too.

fuckin, homestuck is a visual novel though. because it has a glorified bookmark that it calls a "save button" to keep in the video game theme.

i do not think it makes sense to categorise homestuck as a visual novel i'm sorry. the creative lineage it's drawing from is really clear to me. it has some elements of a VN in some ways but, it's clearly more sprite comic, (a subcategory of webcomic) shaped than visual novel shaped.

juney-blues

oh yeah page 100 of insonicnia was definitely before homestuck lmao. a good 2 years before *any* ms paint adventure.

juney-blues

sorry i was looking around for what the first Forum Game Combined With Sprite Comic was, (because MSPA definitely wasn't the first either lmao,) and

sure

juney-blues

RUBY QUEST. I WAS THINKING OF RUBY QUEST LOL

juney-blues

bwuh this comes off a lot more dismissive and meanspirited than i'd like. whoops

juney-blues

god i'm still thinking of this. i'm still rotating around in my mind all the ways homestuck could possibly not qualify as a comic. like even outside of any of the ways jan misali brought up.

pages largly only consist of one single panel? dialogue and narration primarily exist outside the bounds of said panel?

well fuck me dead i guess family circus and the far side aren't comcis then.

has animation, like at all?

captain underpants is a light novel series to begin with so this is entirely irrelevant.

elements themed after video games? fuckin, every two gamers on a couch comic doesn't count then, not to mention scott pilgrim.

too much dialogue???

this is just me being shitty and stupid i know. all i've done is bring up singular examples of things to show that No Singular Element Of Homestuck In Isolation precludes it from Comic Status. It's all these things together, that create an experience that is very unlike *most* comics. I'm plato pretending to not know what a sandwich is, arguing about whether or not a hamburger counts or if it's its own thing.

to be fair though the thing that sparked this train of thought in my mind was someone arguing that a hamburger is actually a kind of yorkshire pudding, so i think i'm allowed to be a little up my own ass about this.

i genuinely think my delineation of MS Paint Adventures as "Sprite Comic heavily themed around Adventure Games (text and graphical) and often motivated by Forum Game" is one that makes, more sense than a lot of others.

some might balk at the idea of it being a sprite comic because it doesn't *primarily* make use of borrowed assets, but with how most sprite comics to some degree or another rely on Sprite Edits, I don't think "How original is *too* original" is a question we're ever gonna have a satisfying answer for.

and also, y'know

gfdhgjkdhg anyway i think Wholly Original Sprites are fair game for sprite comic territory. Otherwise we might invoke weird hypothetical discussions like "if Keiji Inafune guest wrote a strip for Bob and George, would it no longer be a sprite comic?"

... that'd be a fun and stupid conversation to have actually

"homestuck doesn't count as a comic because sometimes it expects you to stop reading and start playing some flash game"

as-Salēm 3aleīcum, folks. You probably already know about Ibrahim @aburakhiaibrahim and his parents, amongst the millions trapped in a life-or-death cycle systemically imposed on them in the Gaza Strip.

After surviving a coma and struggling to care for his elderly parents in a flooded, storm-ravaged tent, they still face the most immediate threat: he's had persistent hardships trying to afford very critical medication for his condition. As of now, he's been able to procure only 5 days-worth of meds, whilst still needing to afford basic groceries as well.

Due to the zionist siege and ensuing artificial scarcity, the price of his pills has skyrocketed beyond reach. Without them and proper medical care the occupation won't let him get in Gaza, doctors have warned his condition might further deteriorate. Every missed dose brings him closer to irreversible collapse.

His only path to survival is join his sister in Canada along with his parents, where they can finally access consistent healthcare, shelter, and safety. But right now, he cannot even afford the medicine that would keep him alive long enough to evacuate.

We helped him survive the coma and the storms. We cannot let him die waiting for pills. Please, help them get nurturing along with his meds.

Their GoFundMe campaign is now at just a wee over half their travel expenses:

And you can donate to them here:

PayPal, for daily and medical expenses

GoFundMe, to contribute to their travel expenses

Remember their campaign has been verified as #336 by @gaza-evacuation-funds

Please, donate what you can. Even small amounts add up to a dose. If you can't, please reblog this post, as exposure is their only supply line until Allāh ﷻ knows when.

Don't let a vulnerable person die from a treatable condition in plain sight. This is not just aid, it's a race against a blockade that prices people out of their own survival.

@staff have barred Ibrahim from using Tumblr altogether.

kiirodora

Though Ibrahim hasn't been present on Tumblr due to staff terminating his blogs, he's still in dire need of help. Ibrahim is currently looking for someone to help donate once a month to his new GoFundMe; $5 or $10, anything someone can comfortably give to help him and his mother.

If you'd be able to donate monthly, please consider helping Ibrahim!

From Ibrahim to all who support us I am deeply grateful to everyone who ha… Samah M S needs your support for Support My Family’s Medical

I know I can't shut up about it, but if you're a consumer of actual play content, or think you might like it if it didn't suck, or you might want to make your own but feel overwhelmed, you owe it to yourself to listen to the original podcast episodes of Acquisitions Inc., maybe capping it off with the first live show they did. Because you will see just how different an actual play can be from the now typical formula.

For one thing, they're not trying to accomplish any kind of episode structure. The DM doesn't have to time things to a cliffhanger at the end of each episode, because they just played the game for a while, recorded it, and then edited it into episodes. For another thing, they're actually playing the game, and not acting out an improvised story. The first time they clearly play to the audience is… when they have an actual live audience.

Just, you know… give it a go. The episodes aren't each two hours long so you'll go through it in no time, and learn how much fun listening to funny, clever people just playing a game can be.

Can everyone who makes video content do a Deaf bitch a favor? Watch your shit with the captions on and the sound off, and then do another round of editing to fix things including but not limited to:

Captions cover the spot on the screen you put the information I need

The dialogue is captioned but not the song you have playing that the dialogue is responding to

You only captioned the person on the screen, not the person off screen who is also talking

No captioning of critical sound effects (alarms, bells, dogs barking, etc)

Speakers are not labelled at moments where it is not clear on the screen who is talking.

Captions cover the spot on the screen that you put the information I need!

Other d/Deaf people welcome to add.

This post brought to you by the fifth video tutorial I could not follow because the bad, auto-generated captions covered what I was trying to watch today.

Tumblr (stylized as tumblr) was an ancient microblogging and social networking website created primarily to target and mass harass its most vulnerable members.¹ Notable examples include the mass bullying of a North Korean woman accused of insufficiently placating the comfort of U.S. military occupiers² and the incessant targeting of a Russian woman with a blog centered on raising awareness about Donbass.³ The main attraction of Tumblr was the ability for large blogs to select a random refugee to harass collectively for the week, before moving on without consequence.⁴
