hi chat

[ciricearts]

Report me if you want, judge me and criticize me, I don't care. A god gave me hands and I'm going to use them, even if it's to sow evil. What are you all going to do? Sue me? I'll be waiting for you here I DON'T CARE. If this means the beginning of my evil era, I accept it.

“I asked Chat GPT”

Yeah, well I asked Zane Julien and he said “Ninja never quit!”

"I've never met a picky eater of color" very much does feel like a pretty benign example of "people of color are cool, white people we uncool" type of racism because I think every culture has their own version of "chicken strips and fries" it's just that people aren't going to clock "curry and rice" or "miso buttle noodles" as being "safe foods" because their "ethnic". whatever that means.

[roadhogsbigbelly]

like to some extent I think it's natural that people's safe foods are going to naturally reflect their background culture, (which is why I think it's annoying when people moralize eating chicken nuggets or whatever) but there this bizarre expectation that non-american picky eaters of color (or non-american poc in general) are going to be able to eat all food from their culture, despite the fact noone expects white autistic people to eat all western food. For reasons.

[roadhogsbigbelly]

Like the reason a white autistic person going "i can't even indian food because it's all overwhelming and I have sensory issues" is obviously racist is also the same reason "how can people of color be picky eaters if their food is exotic" is you know. Kinda racist. Because the idea that a non-american person of color with arfid wouldn't have options for "safe food" in their respective culture is. Very weird.

in 2002 when Spirit came out, Burger King had Spirit toys in their kids meal. I wanted Spirit and/or Rain so badly. I fantasized about having them. When I finally got my parents to take me to Burger King, I was ecstatic. I couldn't wait to play with my new horse toy.

So imagine my surprise when I cracked open the kids meal and discovered I had received the racist colonel instead

[justnoodlefishthings]

It's important to note that the Colonel was meant to be riding one of the horses, so he's in the riding position. But without one of the horse toys you just got left with the Colonel looking like he just shit his pants

[horsefigureoftheday]

Yeah, for some reason they decided to release the horses separately

[horsefigureoftheday]

#p sure the tribe in that movie was heavily inspired by several including mine considering well. plains#tipis. all that. anyway um if i got that guy i think i maybe wouldve ended it all

The people in the movie are explicitly stated to be Lakota, and while Spirit gets to know them, there are a few scenes where they speak Lakota (voiced by native Lakota speakers). No subtitles, since it's only background noise, but still, Native American languages are a rarity in kids movies, and always welcome

(The Lakota lines appear about halfway into this clip)

[wizardarchetypes]

last year Saga and I were talking about which cartoon scientists would do the best gender affirming surgeries and we decided Robotnik would be sympathetic to the cause but he'd probably want to make you some kind of robot really really bad. You're not getting out of there fully organic.

[wizardarchetypes]

conversation source of one of my fav pinned messages in our DMs as well

[wizardarchetypes]

WE DID!!!!!!

[gallusrostromegalus]

My gender-affirming surgery would involve me becoming some kind of shape-shifting miasma of flesh and inhuman anatomy But Cute, and I think I'm going to need someone pretty fringe to understand my vision, OR someone dubiously competent because the thing I'm after is most likely created by accident.

Just because there is a ceasefire does not mean you can ignore Palestinians and Gaza now. Israel is still heavily restricting aid entering into Gaza, and Israel is still firing on Palestinians. Aid trucks are often delayed at the border, and some are even forced to turned back. The two border crossings to northern Gaza remain closed, and so aid often struggles to reach the people who need it most.

Most of you know about Mohammed Ayesh (@moayesh1), who is the vetter at @/gaza-evacuation-funds and has helped countless Gazans promote their fundraisers so they can basic necessities. He is not returning to northern Gaza, where clean water is still near impossible to find. Through this genocide, he has helped so many people, please also support him with his fundraiser so he can survive and heal.

Help Mohammed survive

The more or less finished model of the Mr. Long Alien Wolf ~

What a weird creature it is! I think this is one of my favorite models I've made so far. (WIPs I shared some time ago)

These guys don't have detailed story or lore (yet?), though I shared a bit about them under one of my illustrations. With this model, I tried to shape their realistic appearance, following my idea of a very thin (it's the old idea of my world that almost all its creatures are weirdly long and thin) and alien canine-like creature, which isn't actually canine.

It's also fun to compare them to Solfshein, likely related arctic species which is much heavier and fuffier.

YOU FUCKING RENDERED THIS???????!?!!!!!!?

SCROLL BACK UP THIS WAS MADE IN BLENDER

[anqerr]

Please, stop whatever you're doing right now. Stop playing games, watching movies, following matches, or listening to music... Leave everything else for just one minute, and sit with yourself and ask yourself honestly: Did we deserve to die? Do we deserve to live this way? Do you think this is fair?

[anqerr]

Are you happy that the war is over? It's as if you're happy that a tragic incident ended, while the bodies are still there, the wounded are untreated, and the destruction remains untouched.

[anqerr]

This is us now. We've been left like a crime scene after everyone has left, with the wounds open and the devastation untouched. We're still here, trying to survive. If your answer is "no," if you still see us as human beings, then do something.

[anqerr]

Donate, share, or at least make us feel like you're with us. Don't leave us alone in the face of the murderers and criminals.

[nourasbasha]

Hello everyone. We are living here in miserable and difficult days. No home, no job, no salary. I also have four children and I have no solution other than your appeal. Maybe one day we can leave and travel to a good country and start a new life. Please help us.

[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

[gay-milton-quotes]

briefly pursuing a career in animation radicalized me on this. So many stories from the industry about how you have to start with your character design as dark as possible, because INEVITABLY you'll get "notes" from higher-ups asking you to make them lighter.

In a class about making a pitch bible my teacher once role-played as a shitty executive with a classmate, pressing them in intentionally abrasive ways about why they made their characters diverse. He emphasized that we had to learn to defend these things, because the racism in the industry is extremely deliberate.

[wolfertinger666]

so called fat artist allies love to accuse and harass artists who actually draw fat people and not skinny characters with slight chub because they are not used to fat people being actually drawn with love and care.

[wolfertinger666]

i actually make an attempt to draw double chins, stomach overhang, cellulite, and study how fat sits on the body and yet I got/get accused of making fetish art time to time. nothing wrong with kink art too but it's very telling how much people oversexualize fat bodies even in innocuous art.

even chubby curvy bodies are so oversexualized and it sucks too because like, REAL PEOPLE look like that. I'm both fat/chubby and curvy cuz I'm short so I'm used to seeing my body type get labeled "gooner art"

shits annoying

[rawan-soso]

I’m no different than you. I don’t long for war over peace, I’m not superhuman to bear the bombs, the famine, the heat, the loss of all sorts of comfort and of our dignity. I’m not more comfortable than you relying on other people’s money, much less asking for it. I can’t make my heart not hurt when my little sister cries from hunger.

Imagine you, a normal person, suddenly having to feed your family of 10 with a single kilo of flour (on a good day) that cost $200. Imagine the stress and humiliation of paying $1,300 a month for a room with no electricity, no water, no windows, that’s infested with mice and cockroaches. Could you bear it? We’re not handling the situation better than you would. We’re breaking apart and we keep living because we must.

So please, if you understand how hard it is, help us. It’s okay if you only have $5 to give and it’s okay if you don’t even have that, if you can only share. Just please don’t ignore us. Imagine being a normal person in these circumstances, and people ignore your calls for help.
