someone on twitter is trying to claim that use of an em-dash is an indication of AI-generated writing because it’s “relatively rare” for actual humans to use it. skill issue

Hi. I love Hades and Hades 2 as much as everyone else but we NEED to make some noise because Supergiant is refusing to sign contracts with fair pay and anti-AI clauses. And they are straight up recasting VAs to punish VAs who are striking (sag-aftra has been striking for 7 months).

We really need to make noise here because this mistreatment will continue if we don't.

I'm providing a link for the company contact page in the replies. Please send them a comment on their contact page and encourage others to do so. Maybe even leave a steam review about it, idk.

What are your opinions of non-poc/non-marginalized people creating a show/comic/story where the main character is poc/marginalized? I’ve seen a lot of mixed answers to this one on the internet and I just wanted to know your thoughts on it!

I think it's great! Generally I never want to discourage people from making their works more diverse

HOWEVER! Extra care should be taken and if it's a bigger project, having people on the crew that reflect the characters on screen is important! And it's important to listen to them. Craig of the Creek is a great example of this! Showran by two white guys but that crew was so diverse and their lead writer was black, along with several of the writers, directors and board artists. There are so many jokes and bits in that show that felt very authentic to the black experience

I think the only case I'd be more iffy about it is if the story centers the character's identity. Like a non-trans director tackling a trans identity centered story would make me worry about the story's authenticity. Not saying it can't be done but you can only write what you know y'know?

Idgaf about best in show, but most memeable in show goes to Kalliope Mojito "Mojito" the smooth-coated chihuahua.

He looks like a fast food worker in need of a smoke break. He looks like a salaryman who just got told he won't be getting a christmas bonus even though his wife is divorcing him because he's always at the office. He looks like every highschool senior in the hallway after exams. He looks like Dros from disco elysium. Someone help this man.

DUNGEON MESHI OST ART I OWE YOU MY LIFE

sometimes i wish i could tell other women that you can just stop removing your body hair and in many cases the consequences will be way less severe than u expect. you can go to the beach with all your leg hair intact and nobody will stop you or say a thing. you can stop waxing your upper lip and people won’t stare at it the way u might be bracing yourself for. you can quit plucking your brows and eventually they will grow back into themselves and no one will even notice. like for sure women are punished for not participating in beauty rituals but i also feel like so much of it is like The Panopticon sometimes where you just convince yourself that if u stop that kind of gendered upkeep everyone will be mad and stop talking to u forever when in reality you just keep existing and nothing remarkable happens. it’s not always easy but you can kind of just stop for real

all articles about tumblr’s “decline” boil down to 2 things: you can’t get famous on here and you can’t make money on here. And they don’t get that that’s why we like it here.
