using violence to liberate people from sweatshops, unsafe mines, and grinding poverty isn't the same as using violence to impose those things on people. the idea that violence is morally repugnant regardless of context is a belief that every oppressor throughout history would love for the oppressed to hold

Did anyone else just get that Netflix notification about them offering podcasts? Cuz Im real unhappy with the idea that Netflix wants to try and further monetize one of the least restrictive forms of media that literally almost anyone could do because they dont have big corporations breathing down their necks.

JonMartin became canon because Jonny Sims listened to his fan base (plus Jon is canonically ace). Cecil Baldwin (actor) singlehandedly made Cecil Palmer (character) attracted to Carlos in episode 1 of Welcome to Night Vale and Jeffery Cranor and Joseph Fink rolled with it because that's how Cecil read the line. The Silt Verses has two canonically trans main characters (Page and Faulkner) and nobody in the show gave a fuck. The Penumbra Podcast is chock full of representation the likes of which you would NEVER see on TV. Had Netflix or a TV corp owned these, they wouldve pulled the plug on these shows so long ago.

I just hope it doesn't make it harder for small creators to gain an audience. Plus, its another way for Netflix to just drive the price up when Im already about to exit stage left thanks to the shitshow that was Stranger Things S5.

So yeah, there's free to listen to podcasts on Spotify and Apple Music. Maybe get your podcast content from small creators.

yeah so act 1 of homestuck is just. what if you had the smallest most constrained life in the whole world and every tiny thing that went wrong like the mail being delayed felt unbearably painful and every routine action you took like walking to the kitchen to grab an envelope had the significance of a life threatening spy mission and then, finally, something Happened to you, and for the first time in your whole existence you were part of a world bigger than the fence around your yard

"no one reads or thinks anymore" type posts are so unserious. get off tumblr and chisel that into a stone tablet to match how old your specific brand of whining is

Speaking of player-hostile design, are you familiar at all with the Cursed Halo mod? FPS games don't seem to be your normal wheelhouse but it's a fascinating example of playing around with the kind of player-hostile decisions you've talked about before

I'll probably never play it, but the promotional video for the expanded Steam Workshop version is one of the funniest trailers I've ever seen:

I think it's pretty self-explanatory.
