[Bendy is a Blot]

Okay, I've been holding onto this theory for a long time, and I think I'm ready to share it.

It's a short theory, but nevertheless.

I believe that the very evil of the comic is Ink Blot itself, which started all this chaos....He was reborn in the person of Bendy.

It sounds weird, but just listen!

( and Blot actually looks like Bendy, lol)

Bendy's disease itself has been going on for 10 years, I don't remember if anyone else has had it that long, but the disease is holding on for a very long time...long.

And after all, toons gradually began to disappear. I have a small thought that Dandy put Bendy's disease on him, but more about that later.

Fly and Nort have made it clear that Bendy will have a key moment in the plot. No wonder they are so silent about him lol: Oh, yes, he was dancing somewhere, singing blah blah somewhere.

But is he really Boris's brother?

JUST LISTEN!!

Bendy, roughly speaking, is +-30 years old, if I'm not mistaken, then the disease lasts about a little longer.

Is it possible that BLOT himself decided to lay low, being reborn into a baby who was picked up by a family Wolves?

Then the question is, why is Bendy in so much pain?

The ink machine. He was TOO far away and had been away from this machine for too LONG. Perhaps thanks to her, his essence should have held on and grown stronger, but there is no machine, he is growing and it is becoming more and more difficult to keep his body shape...

He's very weak right now, and his physical condition just can't keep up anymore.

The closer they get to the machine...the stronger Bendy should become.

And just look at these shots: Bendy's face is evil, a halo above his head as if indicating that he's going to die or is already dead, damn it. HE SEES THE MAP!!! And why? Celestial? Yes, of course, they help him get home...to his real home. Do you remember the game? When Henry finds himself at the very beginning at the end of the game....if Bendy comes back and starts the ink machine, yes, he will stop suffering from the disease...After all, he HIMSELF will become a disease.

Perhaps his blood will gradually turn into ink, or his flesh itself is one of the main elements of this device.

And when the moment comes, he can be caught (Mickey Mouse?) And use his blood/body to wake up the machine.

I do not know, but for some reason it seems to me that Bendy will end up alone, along with other ink monsters, deep somewhere unknown. After all, in the end, he will control them...or will he become their Lord?

Is it possible that Bendy needs to EAT them? To replenish your strength and health.

Or Satan is his dad, lol

I don't know yet, but I'm done for now.

Hey if you still think age verification won’t impact you, if you think you have nothing to hide, employers will use what they learn about you online to decide if they want to hire you. To fire you. To give you a promotion. To give you less hours. It’s gonna lead to a hellscape where we’re all forced to be more marketable and sell ourselves than ever before. Do not assume this can’t happen, and do your part.

Proton CEO warns global age verification push will mean "the death of anonymity online”

Proton CEO warns global age verification push will mean "the death of anonymity online"

Proton CEO Andy Yen is sounding the alarm on the global push for age verification, warning that current proposals will strip away online ano

“The global rush to implement mandatory age checks across the internet is sleepwalking us into a surveillance nightmare.

That's the stark warning from Andy Yen, the founder and CEO of Proton, the company behind one of the best VPN services and encrypted email platforms on the market”

“Yen argues that the current approach to age verification is fundamentally flawed. He warns that while the desire to protect children is sincere, the execution is paving the way for unprecedented data collection.”

"Age verification as is currently being proposed in country after country would mean the death of anonymity online," Yen states, cautioning that we "simply can’t afford to get this wrong."

“privacy advocates have repeatedly flagged the dangers of forcing users to hand over passports, government IDs, or biometric data just to browse the web.

Now, Yen is joining the chorus of scientists calling for a halt to mandatory age verification.”

“The core of Proton's argument is that stockpiling sensitive identity documents creates an irresistible target for cybercriminals.

Yen points to recent breaches as proof that third-party verification companies cannot guarantee data security.”

"The more sensitive data you stockpile in privately held databases, the bigger a target it becomes for criminals," Yen explains.

“ Yen suggests that the tech giants responsible for the internet's current privacy woes are cynically exploiting parental fears.”

META for example is a big pusher for these acts

Yen warns that giving Big Tech the power to track and block users based on age is a slippery slope.

"Once you’re using these collected IDs to block access based on age, it’s a short leap to blocking access based on nationality or other factors as well," he notes, highlighting the risk to whistle-blowers and democratic accountability if true anonymity disappears.

other ways?

“Proton argues that tech companies should focus their design firepower on improving parental controls, putting the authority to protect children firmly back in the hands of parents rather than centralized corporate gatekeepers.”

“However, if society decides that a narrowly drawn age verification system is inevitable, Yen says it must follow strict privacy-by-design principles.

Checks must be conducted entirely on the user's device, relying on facial scans that are "instantly discarded once processed," rather than uploaded ID cards.”

“Crucially, Yen insists that the resulting binary answer of whether a user is of age must be "fully anonymized, divorced from any identifying information, and transmitted entirely under end-to-end encryption." Furthermore, the underlying code must be open-source to ensure public trust.

Ultimately, Proton's stance is that the safest data is the data that doesn't exist. "The only way to guarantee that age-verification data will not be stolen, shared, or abused is to not collect it at all," said Yen.”

“Beyond age verification, though, Yen believes that what's more pressing is "tackle the real root cause" of online harm. And that is, Yen explains, the advertising- and attention-based business model that pushes companies to track and keep both adults and kids hooked to their products.”

Please, watch this one for more context. We are so fucked, in short. They extended the ban to go in effect 3yrs from now. Yet they are already adding restrictions for under 16 and basically everyone until we dox ourselves(Keep that in mind with copy cat governments). They are rolling out the routers with parental locks on and telling the people that. Which is good, yet I feel they are mixing good practices and bad laws till it blur's the line for parents to not look into it. Not to mention, there are now cases of parents being even LAZIER for thinking "its the law so you cant use social media" despite the large amount of people in australia reporting that the ban is not working at all. So the ban in the uk is delayed by 3yrs, buut. They are adding restriction within those 3yrs most likely to see what they can get away with, with their sister law "under school act" or some sub kosa law they made up to test their anti-freedom of expression and speech laws. Also the bbc, is now in support/lobbying this so people go back to watching them for news instead of other sources from online. Call, email, mail your reps and senators. Sign the petitions against these net laws and fuck the government, its like the tv censorship all over again with a new coat of paint, and that paint is getting pretty desaturated. Looking damn near black and white with how bad they have been trying to lie about this. Stay safe, protect your online and irl liberty as well as freedom of speech. Because you know it's bad when places that claim to be for freedom are adding these laws.

[unactivebutactive]

So, utah made a new law that will go into effect in may 6th. Also you are reading the thumbnail right. In utah the law includes not to show or TALK about how to use a vpn. Like the uk, this is gonna domino just as fast by other copycat anti-freedom governments. As always call, mail, and email. Your reps and senators being against these laws and sign petitions against these laws. Fuck the modern anti-freedom government. Let people express without fear of being fucking arrested over a negative comments about the place they live in, and especially over talking and showing people how to use a vpn, the fuck utah.

CRUCIAL NEWS FOR THOSE IN MASSACHUSETTS.

Even if you don’t live there, if you still live somewhere in the states, please, listen up.

“The MA legislature and governor just proposed dangerous social media surveillance legislation that would require everyone in the state, including adults, to upload a government ID or submit to a face scan to create a social media account. If something like this passes here, it will spread to other states faster than activists can fight back.

I have an op-ed out in today's Boston Globe explaining why this legislation would hurt kids and help Trump attack LGBTQ youth and undocumented folks. You can read it here (no paywall) https://archive.ph/rAK4P

If you're in MA, please send this to your state senators and the governor! They need to read it! You can also use this tool to easily call the key lawmakers who will be making decisions about this: https://www.stoponlineidchecks.org/ma “

- Fight For the Future Signal chat

I encourage reading EFF’s article linked below as it goes into the greater details of the legislation aside from this, but key notes:

• Forces everyone (not just kids) to upload a government ID or submit to a facial recognition scan to create a social media account or post online, even on educational sites like Wikipedia

• Force parents to send even more sensitive information to Big Tech companies to “verify” custody in order for a minor to create an account (think: sending a birth certificate to Mark Zuckerberg to let your teen create an account)

• Allow unsupportive parents to lock queer and trans youth off the Internet, restricting access to life-saving community and information with zero recourse

• Expand the Trump admin’s surveillance capabilities, making it easier for them to persecute people organizing protests, monitoring ICE, and criticizing the administration

• Cost Massachusetts tax payers enormously, as the legislation is clearly unconstitutional and would face legal challenges.

• Specifically harm undocumented folks who use social media to warn communities about ICE activity and raise money for family members

• Fine smaller and non-profit tech platforms like Mastodon and Bluesky out of business, further expanding the monopolies of Big Tech platforms

It is one of many of the worst pieces of digital surveillance legislation right now in the states.

If you’re in MA, please call and write to your state senators and governor through EFF’s article below, and if you’re not, either spread the word or call them too, but, don’t give them your ZIP code so they don’t know where you are.

OpenAI was secretly funding age verification groups

Group Pushing Age Verification Requirements for AI Turns Out to Be Sneakily Backed by OpenAI

It gave the leader of a nonprofit involved with it "a very grimy feeling."

And the groups might have not known that OpenAI was helping

“According to a report from the San Francisco Standard, a number of people involved in the California-based Parents and Kids Safe AI Coalition were blindsided to learn their efforts were secretly being funded by OpenAI.”

This group was formed to “push the Parents and Kids Safe AI Act, a piece of California legislation proposed earlier this year that would require AI firms to implement age verification and additional safeguards for users under the age of 18.“

“That bill was backed by OpenAI in partnership with Common Sense Media, which proposed the legislation as a compromise after the two groups had pushed dueling ballot initiatives last year.”

The collation at one point was reaching out “to child safety groups and other advocacy organizations to try to get them to lend support to the bill”

“OpenAI was apparently conveniently left off the messaging. The AI giant was also left out of the marketing on the coalition’s website, according to the Standard. That reportedly led to a number of groups and individuals lending their support to the Parents and Kids Safe AI Coalition without realizing that they were aligning themselves with OpenAI.”

OpenAI might actually be the one entirely funding this group “While it’s not clear exactly how much the company has funneled to this particular group, a Wall Street Journal report from January said OpenAI pledged $10 million to push the Parents and Kids Safe AI Act.”

“It’s a very grimy feeling,” an unnamed nonprofit leader told the Standard. “To find out they’re trying to sneak around behind the scenes and do something like this — I don’t want to say they’re outright lying, but they’re sending emails that are pretty misleading.”

“Potentially even more grimy is the fact that OpenAI’s backing of this bill could be self-serving for CEO Sam Altman. At the core of the proposed legislation are age assurance requirements, and wouldn’t you know it, but Altman happens to head a company that provides age verification services. Probably a coincidence.”

I'm a bit late, but please call your representatives about age verification TODAY:

"Please spend a few minutes today calling:

- your Congressional House member

- your Congressional Senators

- your State House nember

- your State Congressional member

- Congressional House GOP leadership in the House and Energy & Commerce Committee

Check to see if your state has age verification/digital ID bills.

At the Congressional level, we want to call to oppose all digital ID and age verification bills like KOSA and the bill packages."

Norway plans to ban social media use by children under 16 in a new bill being presented:

https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/norway-government-plans-social-media-ban-children-under-16-2026-04-24/

“Norway said on Friday it would present a bill in parliament by year-end to ban children from using ‌social media until they turn 16, making technology companies responsible for the task of age verification.”

Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Stoere said in a statement "We are introducing this legislation because we want a childhood where children get to be children,"

"Play, friendships, and everyday life must not be taken over by algorithms and screens. This is an important measure to safeguard children's digital lives."

(And yet you don’t give them actual spaces to be children?)

“The government did not say which applications would be targeted.”

“Norway will introduce its ⁠bill in parliament by the end of 2026, the minority Labour government said.”
