I don’t think we’re rick rolling each other enough anymore. 1. it CANNOT die out 2. this under saturated market is perfect for unsuspecting victims who’ve been lulled into a false sense of security. be the person you hate. bring back the dastardly link

[json-derulo]

someone actually studied the falling Rick Roll rate for their Ph.D dissertation recently and published the paper

[junefrombug]

okay but this made me wonder if there was actually any academic literature on rickrolling and YES THERE IS this is a paper about rickrolling WITHIN academic literature. As in, studies that attempt to rickroll the people reading them. Best part is no one is going to believe me and click that link even though it’s 100% true.

[niltia]

My friend's book is mentioned in this paper!!

[teaboot]

There is no earthy way of convincing anyone that the rickroll study link is real. But for what it's worth. It is

[cat-26]

I have a new goal in my almost-finished PhD dissertation.

[thatwasfunnypleaselaugh]

Second link's good guys, truly

[type-blaze0]

Teaboot's right, there is basically nothing on earth that could convince me to click the second link. I genuinely believe it might be real, but i'm not touching it.

[traniform]

it pisses me off that everyone proved women like miss forcefem and sam candles completely right

[traniform]

like these women among many others talked about how the specter of the pedophile is almost never used to protect actual children and csa victims. they talked about how the word "pedophile" is used as a trojan horse for harassment against vulnerable groups. they talked about how no one group is intrinsically evil, no one group is solely responsible for csa, and in the former case, that the sexual abuse of children instead stems from a larger problem within society where children do not have the autonomy to remove themselves from dangerous situations without putting themselves in an even more dangerous situation.

and you proved them right! you used them speaking up about this subject as an excuse to harass them. you made a spectacle of their every move, you branded them with words like "pedophile" and "predator" so that you had a justification to stalk them, to keep tabs on their every move. you saw that finally you had a woman you were ALLOWED to stalk without being called a fucking creep. you finally had another woman to put into your modern day freak show. and even so-called "feminists" took that opportunity with glee.

honestly there are no words in the english lexicon that could fully describe how fucking vile you people are. you act so high and mighty and throw tantrums when you get told that your virtue signaling helps nobody and makes it harder for actual victims to speak up. you stalk and pile up as many accusations as you can against the victims that call you out on your bullshit. you're so miserable that you need your fucking punching bag or you'll die. and god i wish you would die

[miistars]

the wringleader of the harassment campaigns actually, seriously, believing in pizzagate was the cherry on top. like just in case you didn't have 100% certainty these people are not working for the Protection of the Children™️

[rabbitscreams]

we need to invent a way to explain how deep running and pervasive and subliminal racism and antiblackness is without immediately sounding like an insane conspiracy theorist

[rabbitscreams]

female characters are always lighter than male characters. strong characters are almost always dark. aggressive characters are almost always dark. peaceful and intelligent characters are almost always light. even amongst darker characters the lightest one is usually either the leader or the girls. dark is evil and light is good.

[rabbitscreams]

if you try to explain this to a white person they look at you like youre insane

[papenathys]

Butches are always sexually aggressive and feral, and in paranormal fantasy they are angry, brutish, impoverished or straight up have animal characteristics. They are usually women of color, with dark hair and dark skin, and can only ever be werewolves or half human hybrids. Femmes are delicate, petite, submissive, more emotionally intelligent and likely to be vampires, faeries, princesses or more such attractive archetypes. they will always be light skinned, if not white, and with preferably blonde or lighter hair and features.

Even with the rise of gl webtoons and visual media, the flirty, sexually dominant one is always dark haired. the innocent wide eyed one is always light haired, and/or fairer. We have ships in media where according to fans the white person by virtue of their light skin becomes more feminine, dandyish and "maternal" (Lestat, Madeline) while the person of color is the "dad" or the butch (Claudia, Louis).

Hell, this isn't even exclusive to racial stereotyping in queer ships, interracial ships with a woman of color and a white man literally have been repackaged into girlboss x malewife trope, an easy excuse to portray the woman as sexually aggressive, brazen and hotheaded, and her sweet white husband as a golden retriever (Luka and Hyuna from Alien Stage come to mind). It is a wild combination of gender essentialism and racism.

[mrtoast98]

looking at you like you're crazy is the best case too. if a yt person don't like your tone, they'll start a harassment campaign spewing the most anti-black shit you've heard and pretending they're progressive for it

[gayvampyr]

no offense but you guys need to learn the difference between someone implying their experience is universal and a post simply just not being about you

Wrong: Ada Lovelace invented computer science and immediately tried to use it to cheat at gambling because she was Lord Byron's daughter.

Right: Ada Lovelace invented computer science and immediately tried to use it to cheat at gambling because that was the closest you could get in 1850 to being a Super Mario 64 speedrunner.

[bear-disguised-as-a-human]

This is how I found out that Ada Lovelace was Lord Byrons daughter

[prokopetz]

Well, yeah. That's why she received the unusual education which laid the foundation for her later discoveries in the first place. Her mother, Lady Byron, firmly believed three things:

It was her responsibility as a mother to ensure that Ada didn't turn out like her father;

Fundamentally, the thing that was wrong with Lord Byron is that he was a poet; and

The opposite of poetry is math.

Ada Lovelace's biography handily illustrates how well this theory worked out in practice.

fun fact about character development by the way. you can make them develop worse.

[duckbunny]

like I mean this very seriously as writing advice. the character should experience events and make decisions that make them different at the end of the story. they should be changed. they do not have to be improved.

they can get worse. they can make decisions of an increasingly terrible nature. they can stop taking risks on kindness. they can discover how much they can get away with. they can find religion, or abandon it, with negative effects on their moral creed. the character has to develop. the character does not have to grow.

some of u following me prolly listen to VBS but not like actual rap by black people and i think about it a lot

[tom-is-online]

"I don't think VBS does rap"

have you been listening without your ears? be honest.

I was gonna make a list of VBS songs with rap but I'm so flabbergasted id even have to think about doing that that I can't even comprehend doing so since its at minimum half of their discography: so take some obvious examples from the top of my head:

RAD DOGS, READY STEADY, Beyond the way, Ultra C, Fire Dance, CRAZY, Wah Wah World, Crash The Party, Accelerate, Realize, YY, Alter Ego, Egoist, Shanti, Hana Obore, Bring it on, Doctor Funky Beat, Imperial Girl, Ifuudoudou, Tabi ni Kaeru

AND THERES EVEN MORE THAN JUST THOSE.

just tell me you dont wanna associate yourself with rap, black people and their art.

[tom-is-online]

the anti-blackness in the Vocaloid community will never cease to piss me off, your fav producers are influenced by black genres of all sorts. If you can handle Ifuudoudou, PaIII sensation, Shanti etc you CAN handle hip hop made by black people.

[tex-now]

no literally it's so fucking bleak out here. Have you heard about the slayr x birdbrain situation. They treat us and our culture like a different species sometimes but when it comes to non black people using and at times (not saying the vocaloid producers do this) literally STEALING our music and movements and culture it's suddenly the best and hottest new thing on the market. People love black culture until it's a black person behind it.

[tom-is-online]

I have its actually why I made my post in the first place. I'm not black myself but I love so much of what comes from black culture and I fucking hate how the Vocaloid community treats it. Everyone supports slayr, sawtowne and other black creators in our space.

We need to do our best to get rid of the racism in this community. Nobody should feel like they should not be included in the Vocaloid scene because of their race.

I love Alice Dyer so much. She's genuinely annoying. She takes jokes too far to the point of actual cruelty. She uses humour to hide her feelings and confusion to distract others from theirs. She's dumb in love with her ex-boyfriend. She has a weird homoerotically antagonistic relationship with a woman who later becomes her boss. She knows the place she's working for is supernaturally evil and mostly does not care. She named the inexplicable talking voices in her work’s computer system. She supports her brother's music career. Her parents are dead but so far that has not been remotely relevant. She's canonically trans. She goes to Berlin and ends up in a buddy cop movie with a children's bogeyman. She chooses to be murdered instead of passing on an evil toy to her friend's kid. She gets the choice taken from her and lives anyway. In an alternate universe, the man she loves is dead, and she willingly relives her worst nightmare every night just to see him again. In this universe, she successfully sacrifices herself for a different version of him, not caring that he is not the same person as her husband was, nor that he does not love her back in the same way she loves him. There's no funny ending to this, I just really love Alice.
