Weight of the world

If nothing else, you have to give Gooseworx and the Amazing Digital Circus crew credit because they're all very online people and 100% had to know that making a show whose basic premise is "what if a bunch of people who are all fundamentally a bit exhausting to hang out with were forced to hang out with each other at gunpoint" was a fandom discourse bomb waiting to happen, and they did it anyway.

So happy to place 1st in Exedra Crisis. Hope I can get it next season as well.

New Exedra girls dropped: Sumire and Fuka

How do you feel about their designs?

Sumire Yoake

Save for the length of the tail and the lace mesh on her chest, she's good! Love me a pink flower princess. But remember kids, not every style of dress can justify randomly switching materials with no justified reason.

Fuka Higure

Brought down by excessive accessorization once more. There are good ideas here, but they are not cooperating with eachother. The belt and the chainlink overskirt? Good on paper, but it's ruined by the strand of the belt hanging, it's too long for no reason. It would have been better to have the sould gem hanging there instead of the harness, no need to add something else just for it. Other useless clutter includes: purple fabric hanging from the skirt, the garter of the skirt, the cross section of the bra, and arguably the second leg gater that disappears behind the skirt. All of this could be solved by simply allowing other elements take up more space instead of overloading her with crap: thicken and lower the choker so her clavicle and sternum don't feel empty, lengthen the undershirt to at least above the bellybutton and you won't need more harnesses, and apply both techniques to the sock and garter and you'll get something cleaner. The lattice gloves are almost too much with how they are leather connected by rings, but they make good contrast to the off-shoulder sleeves of the jacket, so I'll let them slide. But remember kids, even charged, heavily accessorized and alternative styles require cohesion, accessorize conciously.

my general opinion on what people should be "allowed" to portray and what topics they should be "allowed" to explore in fiction is that you can make whatever art with whatever themes you want but i'm also allowed to think the way you handled it was tasteless and should've been done differently. my negative opinion on your handling of sensitive topics is the price of admission for publicly showcasing your work. this is not a pro-censorship stance because i am not The Government

this is getting really popular so i’d like to add the important caveat that your criticism of a work is no more unassailable than the work itself. just as one is entitled to be critical of something someone else is entitled to disagree with that criticism. i add this because some of you pretend to give a fuck about thoughtful analysis and then when someone points out flaws in your argument you declare that all criticisms are valid. this is untrue. the status of a hater is no more sacred than that of a liker. get off your high horse and engage in the thoughtful discussion you pretend to believe in or perish by my blade

I was recently reminded of the Rex Morgan MD arc where Rex Morgan is subjected to Precure and it will be entering my working memory permanently I fear. "crunchy rolls?" "is that an ice cream?"

I say this every time, but people Do Not Realize just how short the timeline has been on gay people in kids’ media. And it’s an ongoing fight, but this was 10 - 15 years ago.

I'm not in the Steven Universe fandom. I don't really even know the show. But the story she's telling here is important to remember. What feels like small snippets of representation took a lot of fighting to get and it wasn't as long ago as you think.

I watched some videos by that guy who set up a fake ICE hotline to get people to snitch on members of their community. Not only is this very real and useful praxis- he's preventing these ghouls from reaching the real ICE- he also handles the calls in a really amazing way.

For the most part, he doesn't make accusations or insults people, he just repeats back the appalling shit they're telling him. And they get fucking furious. The example that went viral was him fielding a call from a kindergarten teacher who wanted to report one of her student's parents.

This absolutely disgusting piece of shit thought that the parents were "illegals" who were "taking up resources" because they weren't born in the US. The child was a US citizen because he was born here, but she wanted the "ICE" agent to "look into it."

So this dude just starts repeating stuff back like "so you want me to load the parents of the 5-year-old child you teach into a van and deport them, right?" and this bitch has the gall to say "you make it sound terrible 😅" in a self-conscious way. And then when he finally makes a more direct insult by nonchalantly saying that the 5-year-old "must be a major threat to national security," she demands to speak to his supervisor (which he agrees to and then makes no effort to change his voice for lmao).

This is far from the only call where the whole "repeat their rhetoric back to them" tactic pisses the caller off, too. As rotten, immoral, and disgusting as these ghouls are, I believe there's a tiny part of them that is aware of how fucked up their beliefs and behavior are. Being forced to confront that leads to painful cognitive dissonance and they'd rather lash out at the person who criticized them than look inward and do some self-reflection. Forcing people to confront their own cognitive dissonance of "I'm a good person" clashing with "I have objectively gross and harmful beliefs" is useful, even if it will never go anywhere.

Something that also got me was how the teacher kept looking for OP to soothe and assuage her ego/conscience and got progressively more agitated when he wouldn’t. This is someone who desperately needs to think she’s a good person who is doing good things when what she’s doing is objectively heinous.

She thought she was in the right because she was trying to tear apart this family in a “polite” and indirect way. She’s not the one holding a gun and herding people into an unmarked van, after all. The fact that her call would have directly led to that outcome doesn’t register as culpability to her until OP makes her connect the dots. THAT’S why she got upset, because she was forced to acknowledge the blood on her hands.

i literally thought me & this guy were on the same side until the last sentences i was nodding along fondly 😭

Some women will never want children in their life in any meaningful capacity. They don't want to give birth. They don't want to adopt. They don't want to be the fun auntie. They don't want to be a godmother. They don't want to work in a field with children. They will never change a child's diaper and don't believe their lack of childcare skills is a problem that needs fixing, because childcare is not a crucial part of the human experience, with billions of people on the planet. They go about their day while only seeing kids out at the grocery store or at the park, and nothing is missing from their lives.

The refusal to accept this is driving a global right-wing backlash movement.

Honestly, I can't really blame medieval scribes for making animals look Like That. It's easy to forget that manuscripts being copied by hand means the illustrations were reproduced that way, too, so often what we're looking at is a redrawing of a redrawing of a redrawing where nobody involved has ever personally seen the animal it's supposed to be. Like, if I drew animal you'd never seen, then asked you to copy my drawing without references, then asked your buddy to copy your drawing without referring back to mine, and so forth, I'd be surprised if it didn't end up looking like a space alien after as few as half a dozen steps!

okay i get it for like. wild animals. deer and whatnot. but i simply refuse to believe none of them have ever seen a horse

Horses famously resist accurate depiction, a phenomenon remarked upon by artists even today; this effect may be ontological in nature.

Medieval art often depicts knights riding all sorts of fanciful beasts; modern scholarship suggests that at least some figures traditionally identified as badly drawn horses are in fact meant to be weasels.

Centuries of selective breeding have resulted in a contemporary horse which very little resembles the horses of a thousand years ago; horses during the medieval period just looked like that.

They drew horses badly on purpose because, during the medieval period, most scribal work was performed by Roman Catholic monasteries, and as we know, all horses are Protestants.

The monks haven't been allowed to come down and look at visitors' horses ever since the Incident.
