its awesome that neither mind reading nor god are real and all of the thoughts inside of your head are completely private and consequenceless forever #myprivacy

I’ve seen quite a few of these in my time, but this one takes the cake.

This is fucking killing me

Golp: a roundel purpure.

Repeat this to yourself until it begins to have meaning

[a-book-of-creatures]

Okay then since some of you need to be reminded of this:

Roundels are circles in heraldry. They are named according to their color, which also has its own lingo. Let’s meet them!

Bezant: roundel or (gold) 🟡

Plate: roundel argent (silver) ⚪️

Torteau: roundel gules (red) 🔴

Pomme: roundel vert (green) 🟢

Hurt: roundel azure (blue) 🔵

Golp: roundel purpure (purple) 🟣

Pellet: roundel sable (black) ⚫️

If your field is strewn with roundels, you can describe it appropriately as being bezanty, hurty, golpy, and so on.

Gotta tell you guys something wild in the Chinese fan sphere

So some fanartist drew a “sexy” (read: booby) version of a (cartoon) character who is traditionally very non-sexualised. Fans of the character got mad about it because it’s kind of groundbreaking how that character is written and portrayed and this art totally ignores the entire point of the character. They demanded the art be deleted. In response to that other people said, well what the fanartist did may be distateful but they have every right to draw what they’re into. The two sides fight for days and each starts a harassment campaign and even report their “opponents’” accounts.

So far so typical. But things eventually come to a head and they decide that this will be settled by votes - not through a poll. Through donations to a children’s education charity via each side’s portal. Whoever can get the highest amount of donation wins.

And that is how this charity received over 1 million in donations in three days lol. Oh btw the “freedom of expression” side won by a landslide (960k to 40k)

[rainbowsky]

If only all fan wars could be settled this way. The world would be a better place.

[taurus-official]

OK Let's check 1: Who's the artist 2: What character and 3: Is this even real

First reverse image search from the donations page pic

The one that helped me most was This blog post, translated it says the artists name and the character name (Kano, but it doesn't give me enough to go from)

The artist 斑马MU has a Pixiv account and posts on Bilibili, an app that mostly only has Chinese users. So I downloaded that and...

Of course the original image was taken down. No problem, what if I search in this new app for the character name?

Ah, discourse posts, of course. Some of which were made before the picture was removed. And so I give you

Oh, tasteful!! (And an adult, which I wasn't always certain about tbh). AND This is what the character usually looks like

So what does Tumblr think?

The original portrayal of Kano is important, respect the character

The fanart isn't tasteful, but the artist also isn't wrong

Artists can and should make art without limitations

really hard being paranoid and NEEDING to look around at your environment at all times or you'll blow up and die but the only other person in the coffee shop is a very nervous looking black guy. i swear on my LIFE im not about to call the cops on you i am just checking for the horrors.

[tommyssupercoolblog]

you could always explain why you're looking around but idc if you're trying not to for treatment reasons or something

[cuunos]

it's unfortunately not a great look to turn to a guy and be like "im not racist im just schizophrenic" unprompted
