Hi no I'm pissed off about the age verification laws and bills again. So many grown adults out there going, "The internet should be safe for my children," with all the brazenness of someone walking into a bar and saying, "You need to stop serving alcoholic drinks because I want to drop my children off here all day while I'm at work." Except at the same time they're also demanding that arsenic be added to all the drinks, including the ones being served to children

Funniest tags (and I mean this with no animosity) you can get on OC art is “I don’t go here”. Like *takes long drag out of cigarette and stares into the middle distance in deep contemplation* does anyone…..

Me, surfacing for air: “You saw that fish? That was a parrot fish that has not transed its gender. They do that, you know. Trans. Their genders. In the wild. It’s natural. It’s free. It’s in the ocean. Not all of them do it and that’s ok it’s up to them. Sometimes cis male parrotfish do it too. It’s all the same, in the end. Ok, I’m going back down.”

It's through the DMRT-1 gene, and we have it too! Here's an article about what it might mean for future trans health procedures, as the gene editing tools available today (the article is from 2023) aren't precise enough to manipulate it safely:

What if We Didn't Need HRT Anymore?

DMRT-1 and what medical transition might look like in the future

Holy shit that is so cool!!! What a wonderful world we live in where fish are providing insight into the next generation of trans healthcare

i'm sorry are we having a moral panic about incest kinks on my dash. fuck off. you are a reactionary

[pocket-deer-belly]

this is a fundamentally reactionary sentiment

[pocket-deer-belly]

like. the reason people are vague about the weird kinks they want more positivity for is because you people will accuse ageplayers of being real life pedophiles for having a kink that makes you uncomfortable. you people don't actually fucking, think about kink very deeply, do you

[pocket-deer-belly]

i love you people with morally objectionable kinks. yes especially the people you're currently thinking of

[probuccalfat]

great! now do the same medical study with women

it does feel a bit insane watching platforms roll out comprehensive content tagging over the past few years, ostensibly for allowing people to opt out of viewing certain content, and this explanation has been satisfying enough for most people that it's a courtesy violation to not tag things with the crowdsourced "delete me in the next banwave" option

[toskarin]

"it won't be used for that" was always a ridiculous argument, but it can't even be used as a hypothetical anymore in the wake of the UK verification requirements provably using those warning tags to disable content. water left on stove miraculously boils away

[toskarin]

no, which is why I didn't write that

[rabbitkinglune777]

makes me sad that most YouTube art videos are about "how to make your ocs interesting", "how to grow your account in social media", "how to not make mary sues" like what happened to just drawing for fun and sharing it- oh wait I forgot this is the result of lolcowing people for their technical art skills and or clout related things.

[rabbitkinglune777]

we are in an era where people openly and harshly judge people's creative output because of the normalization of having a "freak" of the week. it makes me sad cuz as artists we should be having fun, not treating social media like an art competition or forcing our art to be "perfect" and digestible.

[rabbitkinglune777]

another thing is the constant need to market yourself and assimilate into a squeaky clean brand via treating social media like full time job rather than hobby you put your art on and occasionally get paid for. it's not a moral failing but I swear it's another form of art being controlled and governed by capitalism.

cool. another black child died in a hate crime

South Carolina jury finds store owner not guilty of murder in killing of Black teen | CNN

A South Carolina jury on Monday found a store owner not guilty of murder in the 2023 shooting of a Black 14-year-old.

apparently the murder happened in 2023 after doing some research but the murderer has been found not guilty.

black children get murdered and become victims of hate crimes every fucking day. this is ridiculous

[rabbitkinglune777]

im posting this here despite the website being extremely white centered, I want people to understand how in this country it's basically ok to murder and victimize black people, especially women and children in the name of "self defense" and white America will reward you for your antiblackness.

roughly half of the homeless population in the united states are people who aged out of the foster care system and were abandoned with no safety net.

if that doesn't give you murderous rage you're a part of the problem

They need to eat less because they're so small and weak. Why are they so small and weak? Because they eat less. Let's base our entire society on this distinction.

there’s this term i coined in my friendgroup i call “the charizard effect” and it can apply to anything and everything, but it was born from me explaining my feelings about the pokemon charizard. the term is basically about how overexposure to something be it by corporate shilling or fandom prominence drives me away from really enjoying something bc i’m exposed to it so much against my will i become tired of it. it came to me bc i was ranting about how tpci does not, and cannot stop reinventing charizard, and how it is popular and obtusely included in almost every region, merch, etc in every way possible and it’s highly commodified.

i dont dislike the pokemon charizard, in fact i really like its X form, but i am exposed to so much charizard in my pokemon consumption that i cant be bothered to care for it in any more than in passing. this applies to a bunch of other stuff i’d otherwise be ok with, but i always just call this aversion phenomena “the charizard effect”

[blxnc]

making this term has done numbers for me being able to concisely express how i feel abt something. like. its not charizard’s fault i feel this way, im sure i’d feel normal abt it if it was stripped of all this over commodification, but i cannot. hence the name
