i think one of my favourite parts about drawing the reaper commission was remembering hands have flesh and redrawing it to kind of. actually show that…. giving the flesh gravity and interaction with objects is something i sometimes forget to do, but its rewarding when i remember to revise how something looks

this is why referencing is important. you learn so much more when you pick up a camera, grab something, take a photo and learn from it.

thinking about that WoW epidemic

i was telling my dad, ever the skeptic, about corrupted blood back in March at the start of lockdown, and how the cdc studied it. how it can be used as a model for what to do and how people might act in the event of an unpredicted pandemic, and how people were playing out the same behavior during covid.

he said “so they fixed it, right? how did they fix it in the game?” and i told him the truth: they didn’t. they couldn’t control it. they had to reset the servers and roll them back to the time before the ZG encounter.

a CNN article recently referenced another “viral” event in world of warcraft: leeroy jenkins facepulling as a metaphor for the expedited reopening of businesses. what it fails to mention however is how the video ends. everyone who charges in with leeroy dies. he wipes the raid.

it really feels like that meme where it’s like “wow, cool video game reference!” and the point soaring over their head says THE DAMAGE WAS IRREVERSIBLE. THE THREAT SPREAD TOO RAPIDLY AND EVERYONE DIED.

[wheel-skellington]

weird reframing of the corrupted blood incident to make it seem, for some reason, like it was all selfish actions that people said was unrealistic because real people would help others. in fact its literally the opposite, it was used as real world data specifically because of the player driven efforts to fix it

The reason this plague in the game was a good model is because we had all walks of life type people reacting in different ways.

Those with healing magic would go into infected areas to see if they could save the infected or at least keep them alive through the disease. Those that couldn’t do that tried to warn players before they entered infected areas. NPC could be infected and have “no symptoms”; they could be asymptomatic carriers and pass it to nearby players.

The best part though was by the time Blizzard had finally come out and said “if you are infected, try to quarantine yourself so you don’t spread it!!” the player base was ALREADY DOING SO. The players had recognized the problem and worked together in myriad ways to fix it.

They also had negative reactions as well, another reason this was such a good example of a real outbreak. They had a couple people report healers or alchemists who were claiming to sell cures/treatments to the disease that ultimately would do nothing. They had a group of players that would hide in the mountains near cities and just pass the disease back and forth between themselves and then raid cities to infect them all over again. They had higher level players start rebelling on the servers. Saying it was an overreaction and if you get it you’ll just die and you can come back and be fine, etc. Since they could get the disease and survive, ie it didn’t do enough damage to them since they were higher level, they felt it unnecessary to care about whether they got it or not. They complained about not getting to play like normal just because this plague could kill lower level players.

ALL of these reactions, good and bad, were real enough to what we assumed a real life epidemic would play out that people started to use it as a model. And now look, we have proof that it was accurate.

However, what we needed to learn from it was primarily that it wasn’t reversible. The bad reactions and lack of care from the few players that weren’t cooperating made it impossible in the end to contain. The only reason it was fixed at all is the game had to reverse time, literally just delete their entire game log a few weeks and time travel weeks into the past to before the plague even began.

Think about that.

The reason no one believed it was a valid model is that it was a video game and thus the consequences weren’t permanent. “No one would act like that in real life.” But look at how we are handling this outbreak. Is it not eerily similar?

And we can’t time travel.

Small question if because there is the 7 deadly sins wouldn't there be the 7 holy virtues or something like that?

Sinclair grabs his chest harshly.

NO. No... no virtues.

Also I don’t care if ur a survivor who ships pedophilia while were at it, I dont give a shit because you’re still WRONG. There are several healthy ways of coping with that or even less damaging unhealthy coping mechanisms, like hello. So you’re willing to be a pedophile just because you’re also a survivor?? Really??

[hundondestiny]

Literally not one single therapist or psychiatrist will tell you that it’s healthy or legal for you to create or consume pedophilic content in order to “cope” with your trauma. that is not a thing that happens. it’s not exposure therapy. like there’s exactly 0 medically supported reason that you need to engage with pedophilic content and “communities” in order to heal.

[trash-slvt]

hey, do you have sources for that? not because i don’t believe you, but because i do and would like to be able to back up my view

[arishok-s]

This article talks about trauma with sexual abuse survivors (particularly in children and adolescents), and is the accepted method for dealing with traumas over what pedo’s try and claim as exposure therapy. I have done several sessions of CBT myself. 

This article talks about how to best help children who have been sexually abused (none of it says to engage in pedophilic content as a ways of coping obviously, because no psychiatrist/therapist/mental health provider in their right mind would ever say that. 

There are more, but those are pretty solid, and list a lot of other sources as well. Along with anecdotal evidence and like common sense lol.
