Thank you for letting me know. I have removed all fundraiser posts they've endorsed and will reblog this info in the chain.
These may be my last words or the last time I write a post about my family, so I will not forgive anyone who sees this post and does not support me with a single word and ignores me.
Days of complete silence have passed, and I'm terrified. I check the campaign link daily, but the amount hasn't changed. Not a single euro. It feels like the world has moved on, but my nephew's pain remains. His surgery is urgent, and so are his medical needs. We're close to closing the gap, but I can't bear this alone anymore. If you have ten or twenty dollars to spare, please help us today. If you don't, your contribution is our only lifeline to reach someone who can help. Please don't ignore someone desperately seeking a lifeline for my orphaned nephew.
We need 700 euros for my nephew's surgery. The operation is in a sensitive area of his body and cannot be delayed. The surgery will determine his future ability to have children, and it must be done as soon as possible while he is still young, before he grows older and suffers greatly, and may also be unable to have children. Please don't leave us alone. Help us! Donate to us!
My nephew is his parents' only child. He lost his father in this genocide in the Gaza Strip and has suffered many traumas in this war. Please don't leave him alone. Donate for his operation. Please donate, donate! 💔😭
If anything bad happens to me or I lose contact with you, please remember that I begged you to donate, even a small amount, or to share my post. I will not forgive anyone who sees this post and doesn't support me with a single word or a small donation, and ignores me.
Guys, someone donated 15 euros, but we still need 685 euros for my nephew's surgery amidst this genocide. I hope everyone who reads my message will donate. Please don't let us down. 💔
Today I will tell you what happened to me, hoping it will move you to help. I went to the vendor in front of my house—a small stall where he sells things for children. I bought some things for my sick nephew to make him happy, and then I quickly went home. Behind me, the entire area was targeted, and many children were injured, some even killed. I was very close to death; I swear he was only a few meters away. Please, how long will we continue like this? Please donate. I almost died today, and no one would have saved my nephew. Please, we still need 675 euros so we can pay for his operation.
Now, just tell me, if I died or anything bad happened to me, would anyone help my nephew get his surgery? Just tell me. I'm begging you, with a very tired and exhausted heart. I haven't forgotten what happened to my mother and brother. Please, I can't bear any more loss. Please donate here. 💔😭
We still need 600 euros for my nephew's surgery. Please, someone help us. Our goal is small compared to what others might think. We need 24 people. If each person donated 25 euros, I could get my nephew's surgery now. Please don't let us down. Donate. I haven't forgotten what happened yesterday; I almost died. Please save us and donate.

A mother's plea: Help us survive and protect my child who was born in war.
My name is Sahar. Like any young woman, I dreamed of a stable and happy life. I was engaged to Mohammad, and together, we dreamed of building a warm little home where we could start our life. We spent years preparing our house, but just before our wedding, everything was destroyed in an instant by the war.
I was faced with a choice: to leave Mohammad in the midst of this chaos or to stand by him and begin our journey together, no matter how difficult it might be. I chose him. We got married, not in the dream wedding I had envisioned, but under the harsh reality of war. Our new home became a fragile tent, offering neither comfort nor security.
After we got married, I received the news that I was pregnant with my daughter, and I live in constant fear for my unborn child. I am terrified of the world she will be born into—a world of poverty, hunger, and bitter cold. We have been displaced from our home more than nine times, carrying with us nothing but the burden of loss and the hope of survival. The house we dreamed of is now rubble, and the tent we live in barely protects us from the rain and cold.How will I protect my daughter? We struggle to find enough food. Basic necessities like milk, blankets, and clothing feel impossibly out of reach. The cost of survival has become unbearable. Every night, I am haunted by the thought: how can I bring her into this world, knowing I cannot keep her safe?
After a long pregnancy filled with pain and fear, after nights without sleep, I finally gave birth to my baby girl. She was born in the middle of bombing, surrounded by destruction and poverty—not in a warm room, not in a safe place. Her first cry mixed with the sound of explosions, as if she was announcing her arrival into a cruel world she never chose.
I gave birth to her with nothing but my heart. I cannot promise her anything. Poverty surrounds us from every side, and the cold reaches her tiny body before night even comes. My baby and I are suffering deeply, not because we ask for much, but because I am unable to provide her with the most basic needs: milk, warmth, and safety.
When I look into her eyes, I feel strength. When I look at my empty hands, I break down in tears. I am a mother trying to save her child from hunger and fear, in a world that has shown no mercy even to the dreams of children.😢🥹

[ Video transcript: two tiktoks by daniyalisbae (daniyal is bae) of them close up to/talking to their phone camera.
First part is them staring at the camera in exasperation. Caption says: "white transmascs appropriating black culture after transitioning because they associate blackness with masculinity." Theres music playing and they mouth along the words "that is not the baby!"
Second part is a response to the first. Slow piano music plays in the background. Caption says: "white queers have a weaponized incompetence problem."
The filmer says the following:
"The other day, I made a video talking about how white transmascs appropriate black culture in order to feel more masculine because they associate blackness with masculinity. And never before in my life, or posting videos about trans discourse, have I gotten so many comment from people acting completely oblivious or confused to the issue, even though the issue is a very simple statement.
I think this reflects the fact that a lot of white queer people are just incapable of thinking about issues if it is not personally affecting them.
And I think this reveals a weaponized incompetence issue in the larger white queer community when it comes to racial issues. When someone brings attention to intercommunal issues not about race, I never get these comments. I never get comments acting confused, or acting like what im talking about is so incomprehensible, or saying things like, 'well, I've never seen this happen,' because people accept 'maybe this has happened, just not to me.'
But the second someone brings up a racial issues, suddenly it's incredibly confusing and complex, and people need to explain to them five million different ways to where they get it. And obviously other people call bullshit to this, and they say, 'This is very clearly just you refusing to understand this, not you being unable to understand.'
And a lot of people in the comment seem to be resorting to the fact they theyre neuro divergent to excuse the fact that theyre not aware of racial dynamics in the queer community. And I think this is a larger problem. People like to flee into marginalized identity and talk about how theyre queer, or theyre neurodivergent, in order to get away from complex critiques about the way they ignore racism in their own community.
There are two possibilities. Either 1: these people are aware of this issue, and are pretending not to know about it because it allows them to escape accountability; or 2: theyre just generally not aware of it. But both of these things reveal a problem, because it means that white queer people either do not notice, or do not care, about the racism happening in their own community. Because the problem identified is not a niche issue, it happens all the time. But the refusal to use critical thinking —or even just look in the comments for other explanations, before jumping to acting confused and acting ignorant of the issue— is a bigger problem that white queer people need to examine in themselves.
Remaining ignorant on issues of race and acting like you've never seen this happen, or you've never heard this before, is a result of you ignoring it, not as a result of it not happening.
The fact that tons of people in the comments who are Black queer people are saying this happens all the time, but white queer people are saying they've never seen it happen, suggests that it's not that it doesn't happen, its that white queer people dont recognize it happening because they dont actually pay attention to racial issues in their community. Which is why when it gets called out, they act so confused about it.
"You guys don't treat indie creators the same way as traditional companies."
When people start selling their merch and discontinuing their support of the indie creator/indie company after disappointing results in their product or reveals in bigoted behaviors, much like how they'll react to controversies from traditional companies: "What are you doing?! Bigots! *Most of the dropped supports comes from marginalized fans.
By the way I hope the ones who are sprouting this nonsense also realized treating indie creators/companies as your friends/ride-or-die when you barely know them counts under their critiques. If you wouldn't treat traditional companies this way, why would treat creatives in indie any differently?
My name is Hussam. I am a father, a husband… and I am trying to keep my family alive. 💔
Before the war, we lived a simple, peaceful life in Gaza. My wife and I were raising our six children—four boys, one girl, and our baby daughter who had not yet turned one. Our home was small, but it was full of laughter, warmth, and love. 🏡❤️
Then, in a single moment, everything was gone.
Airstrikes destroyed our home. The walls that once protected my children turned into rubble. I still remember the sound… the fear in their eyes… the way they held onto me as we ran for our lives. I couldn’t take anything with me—only my family. 😢💥
Now, we live in a fragile tent in a refugee camp. ⛺
The cold does not wait. The wind enters from every side. At night, my children cannot sleep—not because of noise, but because of hunger. My baby daughter cries in my arms, and I have nothing to give her. No milk. No warmth. Only empty hands and a broken heart. 🥶👶💔
As a father, this is the deepest pain—to see your children suffer and feel helpless.
Every day is a battle. I search for food. I try to keep our tent standing. I try to protect my children from sickness, fear, and despair. I am doing everything I can… but it is not enough. 😔
I need your help.
I want to be honest with you: during my last fundraising campaign, I was scammed. At a time when we had nothing, we lost even more. It broke me—but I refused to give up on my children. ⚠️💔
Now, I have created a new campaign with the help of a trusted friend, so your support can safely reach my family. I am asking you from my heart—please give us another chance. 🤝
Your help can save my children. 🙏
Even a small donation can mean: 🍞 Food for my hungry children
🍼 Milk for my baby daughter
💊 Medicine when we are sick
🧣 Blankets to survive the cold nights
Please, my friends… do not turn away.
If you cannot donate, please share my story. Your share could reach someone who can help save my family. 📢
Hussam is a father, a husband and a survivor.
From a father who is trying not to lose everything
It is very disheartening to see people create other TADC rewrites/reimaginings with the same published amount of art and information, yet theirs get more attention, because they still follow the show's whiteness or a racial ambiguity when they HC the cast to be POC, but don't obviously implement their culture.
It is very infuriating to see as much as people criticize the racism of everyone in the production of TADC, they refuse to check themselves. They still engage with popular fan creators who didn't call out the racism and prioritize engagement with the racist colorblind casting, which reinforce racist stereotypes. In the end, the choice to depict the characters as white or in close proximity to it is insulting, despite supposedly being people of color now.
Maybe it isn't obvious to you-- but for us, it is.
I've noticed the stark contrast between engagement with my creative works vs others tends to boil down to people's lack of care/interest in reimaginings that center exclusively on POC/marginalized experiences.
People will pat themselves on the back for interacting with a piece of media that includes POCs without ever questioning whether it was actually respectable rep. If it's just another portrayal that whitewashes the COC "casual rep" or skims through the topics without them having to do any retrospective work. They hardly challenge their preconceived notion of race and culture outside of their own. This also goes for POCs who still prioritize whiteness over themselves and solidarity.
Even when The Amazing Customs Circus was only headcanons, I'm aware that the discrepancy in engagements between my POC designs and others and when I share art similar to their canon designs.
I originally didn't want to make this post out of fear of coming across as whiny. The ones who are guilty of this don't know how potent the isolation really is.
I’m seeing some ppl hype up Gameoverse over KoG because it got more views in much shorter time and like. Well. I may sound like a salty fan but tbh.
I think the thing is that Gameoverse is a safer show. It’s easily digestible, accessible. It’s got colorful marketable designs that are designed to be conventionally appealing. It’s a simpler “playing with your toys” story about antics and adventure.
KoG is less of a fandom story if that makes sense. It sets itself up as more serious with themes and arcs and being morally nuanced. Our protagonists are down to earth humans with physical imperfections and people found that very refreshing. Our heroes are introduced as being morally mediocre but well-meaning. It’s a slower, quieter pilot that sets up their dynamics and motivations and struggles.
It’s something that stood out to me when KoG first aired, it’s that it feels like less of a show designed to have a fandom or merch about it. But that also makes it kinda refreshing compared to its contemporaries where it’s far less of an Incorrect Quotes type of story and more something that could be an actual book.
So yeah Gameoverse is more popular but I don’t think that actually necessarily makes it better. Not when KoG is already more feminist by a huge margin. KoG feels more like a story meant for a niche audience that can really appreciate it and that tracks with Dana’s ramblings about David Lynch and letting the viewer be able to interpret things.
KoG just feels more mature and so while it’s not as popular it almost feels like a quality over quantity situation when it comes to fan reception because I’m not sure what particular in-depth analysis of themes you could go for with Gameoverse.
For these reasons shows like Trashbin Motel and T*DC become the popular indie animated darlings, and not the indie projects who actually do have a bold message to tell with decent writing.
Thoughts on Dispatch? Even though embarrassingly I liked the game, I do have to agree that some of their writing decisions were not...great.... Especially with how the Black female characters get treated both by the game and the fandom.
Oof okay.
In case this isn't clear, DISPATCH SPOILERS under cut.
So I watched my partner play through Dispatch as every set of chapters dropped. I very much enjoyed the first chapter, and I actually had high hopes that it would really be an interesting game. It started in the LA area and seemed like it would be a great game to discuss the "legacy mentality" that often leads people into danger and forsaking the lives their predecessors fought for.
I remember thinking that the detail of Prism being a black woman from Flint, Michigan was very intentional and would surely be brought up later. Surely. Surely they would discuss the water cri-
Anyways, I didn't have an issue with the first few chapters. Sort of.
I did not like Invisigal from the moment she was introduced and she said that Robert had a "dad bod" despite the man looking like he eats half a meal a day. Especially since she's older than him, which reminds me, her age was weird to me too. She's 27...which doesn't make any sense given her personality and also general appearance. But what if, let's say she was...17? All of a sudden her personality makes more sense. All of her sudden her "neglected" ending could have a stronger context, and her entire relationship with Robert becomes recontextualized. But there's no way they aged her up 10 years to make her legal to lewd out the way they do in the game, but didn't change any of her original writing. No, this is purely conjecture. Pure. Conjecture.
A lot of my initial shock began with the "illusion of choice" mechanic they rolled out. When my partner played, the first time we saw the horror of this in full effect was when we were forced to choose between Sonar and Coupe. Of course we thought that, surely, saying nothing would be a choice in itself. This is Robert telling Blonde Blazer that he won't give up on his team. This lack of choice will mean something.
And then Sonar went bye-bye.
I don't like MoistCritikal in any capacity so it was nice not to hear his voice for a while. But obviously we were shocked. The game just made the choice for us,,,and we would soon realize that's actually what the whole game is about; having a very OBVIOUS CANON it wants you to follow and punishing you for not following it. I'm aware of the notion that this is a classic "Telltale" phenomenon. I hate it.
The dispatching was probably the best part, but it didn't really matter. Nothing mattered except Invisigal who we could not escape. The choices involving her were always weird because there was no variety in them. You could never just outright tell her to "fuck off". I think that's just poor gameplay design in general. At minimum if you're going to have a variety in dialogue, there should be a positive option and a negative option, maybe even the neutral option. Every choice was bare minimum intrigue to whatever she was saying. I had no idea that scene of her at the beginning of the 4th episode was supposed to make everyone's brains leak out of their heads because it had no effect on me, and I'm a lesbian.
I think most of my critique can certainly fall over Invisigal. She was whiny and immature, constantly complaining about her powers being "villainous" while being on a team with a literal demon and a construct that was built solely to steal things. I did not like that her best friend was that construct, the youngest on the team and the one with the LEAST mental maturity. We were able to avoid most of the sexual assault scenes, but their existence is downright absurd. I know Berleezy was horrified, especially since he had already gone down the Blond Blazer route. We spent so much time on her and it did nothing. We chose to untie her in the end and have her fight in the final battle and she still became a villain because we neglected to let her have her way with us ig. We got Sonar back but who cares when Invisigal abandoned us.
Also I really take offense to the blatant ableism of the series. This notion of disabled people siding with a villain that enhances their bodies,,,don't like it. I'm asthmatic myself so as you can imagine I was especially irritated with Invisigal's reasoning and her ridiculous choices. Also, in spite of this message, there's several scenes where Robert and Invisigal brutally break the arms of that guy who's arms were disproportionate to his body and it just...put a bad taste in my mouth. Our girlfriend agreed it was just another example of performatively trying to make a point that they can't even hold up to.
Annnnnd let's see. Yea, the queerbaiting was tragic. We get one male kiss and it's clearly meant to be "haha look this alien doesn't understand humans so he does a gay thing. being gay is basically like being an alien" and I don't understand how people don't get that. This is elementary shit. Flambae says he's gay in like one vague dialogue choice, and while I think his sexuality could also be alluded to given his friendship with Prism, it's not enough. I have higher standards. I think it could have been really easy actually, to have two male love interests and two female love interests; Flambae/Invisigal and Blonde Blazer/Waterboy. Hell throw in Phenomenoman (or however tf you spell his name) and Prism.
But they chose not to. Instead they baited queer fans in their discord server with the tantalizing promise of representation just to not deliver. The Devs suck ass for that.
Last and certainly not least, the racism.
Immediately, I was very turned off by the fact this game predominantly took place in LA and we have no real Hispanic characters. Like, have you ever been to LA? Kind of hard to ignore.
Invisigal is racially ambiguous, don't like that. I know her name is Courtney but her concept art shows her with all these "vaguely east asian downright orientalist" dragon tattoos so I have no idea where they were going with her. All of their original names are terrible, and very white.
Flambae is...confused. He's from Afghanistan but speaks with a Spanish accent because he grew up in Spain, and his name was Chad. His original concept art was also white soooo that checks out.
Did not like how they handled the black characters. The Nicki Mirage joke? Funny! Prism has a split dye bob that's pink and blue, she's a pop star! That shit was funny! But then his white ass had to keep going and call her Cardi C...yea they always overdo it. Chase was, very disappointing. A male mammy to this dumb ass lil white boy, who ends up near comatose thanks to Invisigal's dumb ass, and this is after she assaulted him because he, rightfully, called her out on her bullshit. Most of his dialogue was just...very repetitive and didn't have much substance. Coupe was aggressive and antagonistic because of course, what else would black women be? Blonde Blazer was just cutely racist and we had to skip over that. And of course Royd is Caribbean so he has to be dumb, not really but yes he does. Big dumb guy, no social boundaries. Very original for sure. Great job guys, I think we got all the stereotypes covered!
