So one thing that's been chucked around about the censorship and the online safety act in the UK is that young boys are falling down misognistic rabbit holes aka. Andrew Tate online, and that mixed with hardcore porn is deeply affecting them. This mostly comes from the Netflix TV show semi-based on real events 'Adolesence' which was a smash hit and got brought up in parliament to highlight the issues online. And I 100% agree that young boys in particular should not spend hours and hours watching misognistic content that tells them they're not ever going to be loved unless they 'trick a girl into it'.

Except. And here's the thing. I don't...actually think the online safety act is going to stop kids seeing Andrew Tate and his cohort.

Andrew Tate and other misognistic/pro-patriarchy influencers arent - generally speaking - going to be affected by an age gate which mainly targets showed violence, porn, gambling, LGBT+ and trans content etc. For the videos that would be affected, I don't think even half of them would be caught, and I think it would be trivially easy for them to change tactics ever so slightly to get the ones that are through.

So like. This isn't really solving the problem at all u know? I mean. We all know that solving the problem isn't really the point of all this but. It's not u know? The misognistic stuff...it'll still be there for young boys. But putting in actual effort to support young boys as they go through school would cost too much and would require too much change so. U know. Random acts that do more to censor and steal data than they do to solve any problem.

i am a xander/willow/giles defender at the best of times but i still think buffy thrived with non-og scoobies and i wish they pushed buffy with cordelia more, buffy with oz, buffy with tara, buffy with anya??? and i feel the same about angel with every other scooby except buffy. they had spike literally bond one on one with each member of the gang before he really got along with buffy and it was sick. i would like angel on btvs more if we got more btvs cordelia and angel (though ats works just fine), xander and angel but xander doesn't hate him for incel reasons, WILLOW and ANGEL. angel with anya would've been great too

I got commissioned by Bioware to paint one of my personal faves - Justice for the Dragon Age Day collab. 

Justice is one of my favorite characters od DA and now I just want to replay Awakening ;;
