Given the dangerous and deeply false stereotype that children are unsafe around queer and black people (because they’re viewed as predators), I thought it was so heartwarming how Mike, Will, Lucas, and Robin were the main ones who were protecting the kids, and how gentle they were
So are we welcoming racists back to the BG3 fandom now or what???
@annikvs is back with a new blog @anatheriaart
You know, the Russian nazi artist that loves drawing Wyll being decapitated
and if not decapitated, jokes about him being Black by referencing racist paintings
And yes this is about race to her
And let's not forget the nazi shit
And there is more that I talked about before, like drawing an animatic of Astarion selling the Gur into slavery, and liking a comment claiming Wyll's fans want special treatment for their "woke character".
You know a normal thing for a nonracist person to say and do :/
And now she is back, claiming to be Ukrainian to avoid being judged too hard for her blatant racism as if Ukrainians didn't have it bad enough already...
I said it before, and I will say it again. If you are welcoming racists and nazis to sit at the table with you, you are one. And if you're not, then don't let these racists and bigots be comfortable enough to join you at the table.
PSA: AI EDITING POC TO BE WHITE IS OFFENSIVE AND WEIRD
So this isn’t really musical related, but this account gets more reach than my other ones so I figured I’d make it here.
Yesterday I came across a Percy Jackson edit of Percy and Annabeth, but something seemed off.
For some reason I couldn’t find this exact scene, but THIS is what they actually look like
THEY EDITED A BLACK GIRL TO BE WHITE
Wanna see something even worse?
This is the ACTUAL SCENE
This creator made the “effort” of editing (using AI) to make these edits, all in the name of “Book accuracy”.
It is true, in the books Annabeth is a white blonde girl, and Luke is a white blonde guy, but wanting book accuracy is not an excuse to edit REAL PEOPLE to be white. The characters may not be real, but the actors very much so are, and these edits erase everything that makes them who they are.
The comments on these edits say things like “This is what Disney took from us!” “White people don’t get representation anymore.” “If the show looked like this I’d actually watch it” and any comment countering gets a million responses agreeing with the OP.
Fun fact: You don’t need to watch the show! No one is making you watch it, and it’s okay to prefer the books! There’s nothing wrong with that, the issue is that you’re erasing actual POC and using AI to make this slop instead of editing different actors or using fanart to make an edit like literally everyone else does.
After being casted, Leah (Annabeth) received death threats. A child received death threats because people didn’t agree with her casting, this is 100% serious.
Regardless of how you feel about the show or its casting, editing poc to be white is despicable and it’s awful to see how many people don’t see an issue with this

You had a feeling more sinners would flock again to the lobby of the Hazbin Hotel today.
The purpose of the facility - Charlie’s vision - was rehabilitation. The guests would stay for free, including food, board, and other amenities such as valet parking and Wi-Fi. In exchange, however, they would have to attend classes designed for self-improvement, reflection, and addressing behavior issues such as substance or alcohol misuse. If they completed these sessions, they should become more empowered to make their own decisions and prevent further decline in their afterlife made by their previous choices. By doing so, redemption should be possible and earn their place in Heaven. The public is still under the misguided belief that the Hazbin Hotel is where sinners could come to kill angels or get their hands on angelic steel to protect themselves when the next Extermination arrived.
You hoped Charlie could clear up this misunderstanding soon and not get swept up in the excitement of new guests crowded around your desk, ready to check into the hotel for the wrong reasons. As the hotel receptionist, you represented the princess’s establishment and had to provide information to guests if they had questions, concerns, or complaints. It was a shame that your job could not allow you to piece together the fragmented memories that continued to haunt your dreams for nearly a century.
The smell of sizzling, sauteed onions and chicken from a pan cooking in a small kitchen, being prepared by a well-dressed man who never turns around to face you when you call out to him.
The sound of jazz came from the brightly lit street corners of Louisiana; the humid air that vibrated alongside laughter, and clinking glasses from speakeasies.
The satisfying crunch of fried green tomatoes with shrimp remoulade, Mama Ophelia’s specialty.
A man who lured in his captive audience with that sweet, Southern accent of his after he had his morning coffee and always appreciated the whiskey you poured for him after he had a hard day of recording at the studio. Then you wake up feeling tears trickling down your cheeks, and you do not know why.
You had thought - had hoped - that you would remember the rest of your mortal life if you became a guest of the hotel. You had been a dishonorably discharged soldier, sent to America after the war between Leidenschaftlich and Gardarik reached a tentative peace agreement as punishment for failing to protect Major Gilbert as per the request of his elder brother, the man who had taught you to hunt and kill on command, like a dog. Those are the memories you could remember clearly. The dreams, how you died and descended into Hell? A puzzle you have yet to solve.
You glanced down at the silver band coiled around your ring finger, the ruby-red light pouring in from the window bouncing off of it and your prosthetics. You had lost your original ones in the battle against Adam and his Exterminators. These were brand-new, crafted from angelic steel.
This ring was your only clue to the life you had lived before, and always invoked a feeling of recognition, something deep and painful, that went away when you pressed a kiss against it every morning without fail.
You examined yourself in the mirror one more time and walked out of your room, ready to begin another day at the Hazbin Hotel. Or as Charlie would optimistically proclaim, another fucking happy day in Hell.
After a few months of using Twitter I’ve decided i prefer tumblr racism to Twitter racism like yes you guys are ignorant and annoying and love to whine about how you should have a medical exemption from thinking critically about race but Twitter racism is straight up nazis like you go in the comments of any popular tweet and the 40 first comments will be check marked assholes screeching slurs the way a mentally decaying chimp with a big red button that says GREAT REPLACEMENT THEORY would
One thing I noticed in this shitshow of an episode is how fucking ungrateful Stolas was for everything Blitzø did for him since he came to his place.
Him being a spoiled rich white asshole:
I hate his facial expressions so much, you have no idea
I can guarantee you care about these 'nice things' more than you care about your daughter btw
Oh, we also have, let's see here...
*insert the entire montage of Blitzø (Stolas' victim) trying to cheer his abuser up since he's now in love with him thanks to good ol' Stockholm Syndrome*
Seeing that cigarette reminds me of when Stolas uh... *checks notes* called Blitz an 'itty bitty imp (racist)' despite him clearly hating it, grabbed his cheek and used his horn to put out his cigarette (not to mention Blitzø's severe trauma being related to fucking fire)
Okay so anyway, I think Stolas said "Oh, when have you ever asked" bc Blitzø stole from him and his family 25 years ago. correct me if I'm wrong here but isn't it manipulative af to bring up smth that happened that long ago, also it's totally unrelated to the current situation. I swear it's like a grown ass man saying to another "Oh I still hate you because, uhm, remember that one time in 3rd grade when you stole my pencil..."
So... if Stolas still holds this against Blitzø, let me ask: why was he ever "in love" with him in the first place? Answer? He wasn't. Stolas only used this imp for his sexual fantasies and for him to get to experience his "fairytale romance"
P.S. Imps are a race his privileged ass has always been racist towards and he hasn't ever attempted to, uh... try to understand them better? Understand how they live? I mean if you truly cared about your "boyfriend," Stolas, you'd have put in SOME effort to change your mindset/behavior and WOULDN'T HAVE EVER SEXUALLY COERCED HIM
He also 🍇d you blitz
And no he didn't do much, he's powerful af. Using those powers isn't rocket science heck he turned an imp to stone in s1 he can protect himself but is apparently the "bottom" in the stolitz "relationship". Also no, him leaving Octavia clearly isn't a huge deal to Stolas otherwise he'd have fought to earn her forgiveness and not just sulk like a wimpy loser. YOU ARE NOT ONLY A GROWN MAN STOLAS, BUT A FATHER. At least you were supposed to be
So was not thinking about your daughter until you lost everything, apparently
AGAIN WITH THIS SHIT??? WHY ARE WE TALKING ABOUT A TRANSACTION AGAIN
Alright I'm signing off until the next season drops, if that ever happens
This episode sucked, but kudos to our girl Via who was smart enough to see through her "father's" bs 👏
ALSO HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO THE CRITICAL COMMUNITY (and to non-toxic stans too)!
So maybe, perhaps, I am too much of a sensitive bitch but uh-
Does this feel racist to anyone else? A black man being subservient to a white man and secretly enjoying it??? Maybe its just me but this feels kinda racist.
