Epimetheus clamors for your stolen flame

the way Ishikawa's FFXIV writing is like "Being a hero is bloody work and its naive to pretend it isn't, holding on to hope against a cynical world is unendurably painful, and your attempts to create lasting change will often be spit on by the very people you're trying to save, but in the end no kindness however small is ever wasted or forgotten." and the way I'm like "okay lemme go cry for a minute" in response

Let the historical record show that Mr. Beast was entirely ignorable if you were just like doing literally anything else. I've been on youtube as long as it's been around and I've never been recommended a video by him. I see him in passing as a meme. I thought he was a made up joke, a caricature of bad youtuber content miners until someone I trust confirmed his existence to me in late 2025.

I just don't feel like I can trust a monetised political blog to be entirely honest. Especially when you're talking about the oppression of others. It's in your financial best interest for that oppression to continue because it draws attention to your ad reads.

This is a very confident accusation built on a misunderstanding on how any of this is monetised.

This blog does not generate any ad revenue. Tumblr does not pay me for political writing and views on my videos here do not earn me anything. For the videos that can earn money based on views - Only TikTok, YouTube and Instagram count.

When I mark something as an Ad on Tumblr, that's me being transparent that a studio, publisher, or creator agency has sent me a key to play the game, or the video has the potential to earn money based on its performance elsewhere. I usually link those other platforms and explicitly say watching there is a way to support me financially.

Yes, some people support me voluntarily through Ko-Fi. Some subscribe to me on Twitch and I'm genuinely grateful for that support. But I also work full time - AyeforScotland is not my livelihood, and I'm certainly not making enough from it for political oppression to be some financial necessity.

Turning that into "It is in your financial best interest for that oppression to continue" is an extraordinary leap.

By this logic, journalists covering wars secretly want them to continue, foodbank workers want people to remain hungry, and climate campaigners are financially invested in the planet getting hotter.

I've been arguing for the same political outcomes since long before there was any earnings from being 'AyeforScotland'. My desired endpoint has always been the same: I would quite like the things I complain about to stop happening.

You're welcome to be sceptical of monetised creators. You should be but if you're going to accuse me of materially benefitting from oppression continuing, you'll need a lot more that "Some of your followers might also watch your gaming videos somewhere else."

Local man actually follows the law about declaring ads/gifted keys for his video game content—unlike 100% of the drop shipper sellers on this site that masquerade as meme blogs—and gets accused of dishonesty.

You couldnae make it up.

common misconception but ultimately untrue. what edgeworth has going on is an incredibly straightforward combination of daddy issues, autism, strict upbringing, and poorly repressed homosexuality. robust, yes, but not complicated. whatever the fuck makes phoenix act like that is an issue that the subject's top scholars are still debating today. nothing so easily summarized.

sick of people saying haru and futaba forgave akechi sick of people saying they hate him and want him dead. let female characters be messy and complicated without dumbing them down into angry girls defined by their trauma pls and thx. persona five audience please understand that haru and futaba can sympathize with akechi because they were all victimized by shido. two fictional teenage girls can understand a nuanced situation better than some thirty year olds on this app thats crazy

[herssian]

people who don't use or spend time on tumblr don't really understand how solid this place is for creatives and how we could be living in artist utopia if they fully undid the nsfw ban. the tag system? the dashboard? the silly anons who will send you the most insane sentences known to mankind? having your very old, shitty art make the rounds again because somebody finds value from it and wants to show their friends? no other place even comes close

[pillowspace]

Nearly blocked someone for a vaguely annoying reply they made in 2017 then remembered 2017 was 9 years ago. They will live. We can change *opens their blog* nevermind they got worse. Guards

[pillowspace]

This was written out in real time btw. I typed out the first half, paused, saved it to my drafts, went back to open their blog, then came back to type the rest

Also applies to "AI" "artists" and "musicians."

"Goro Akechi needs to be punished for his crimes" yes and his sentence is being adopted and gently bullied by the Phantom Thieves for all eternity
