Let me introduce you to one of my favorite insects, the humble drain fly.
Also known as the moth fly, we are specifically taking about Clogmia albipunctata. These adorable little cuties are true flies and their natural habitats are swampy wet areas.
"But Alex," you scream, frothing at the mouth, eyes bulging, "Why are they called drain flies?"
While the adults eat nectar or just water, the larvae are aquatic and eat decaying matter. Drain flies have discovered that our sewage system is a neverending supply of disgusting organic stuff just decaying away. Yummy! As such, they can often be found in drains. Maybe you've had drain flies? Rejoice, for you have been blessed.
The best thing about these guys?

They fly like drunk idiots.
They are special little guys, perfect in every way.
This documentation is regarding Cavemanon. They are an independent development team that created Snoot Game (the parody of proudly LGBT indie game Goodbye Volcano High) and its spiritual successor, I Wani Hug That Gator!, which released on Steam February 14th, 2024.
The vast majority of this information had been compiled over the past few months by an independent team, and Caliber (ex-Cavemanon developer who worked on Snoot Game, credited as “Spigot The Bear Anon”), has volunteered to be the primary contact regarding this documentation.
Regarding the company’s newest game, I Wani Hug That Gator!, Cavemanon failed to pay wages towards many members of the development team, with the few members who did get paid being forced to sign a potentially fraudulent NDA contract and being offered as little as $50 for their work on a game that is estimated to have made $15k-$20k within a week of its launch. Among the people not paid – wages, royalties or otherwise – includes the creator of the concept, Loanshark, who had begun it as a passion project with his friends before Cavemanon took it over.
Additionally, “Nerd”, the head of Cavemanon and the originator of the Snoot Game idea, is openly anti-LGBT; he has admitted that anti-LGBT messages were fundamental to Snoot Game (and he’s upset more people don’t see it that way), and he has attempted to impose his personal views on the fandom. This has included attempting to assert control over moderation teams of an art server, sabotaging a gay mod for Snoot Game and accusing its creator of being a pedo, and having a Wani character be hastily redesigned a week before the game’s launch after finding out the artist had designed her as a transgender woman.

(On a personal note: it’s cold comfort to me that I got doxed for calling Snoot Game transphobic, only to find out later that the guy behind it admitted that was the goal all along.)
Si, por favor si, muchas gracias! Es algo que veo siempre pero tantos conocidos me quieren vender que en argentina no se discrimina por el color de piel, me hacen sentir como una loca.
Al argentinx le cuesta horrores el autoanalisis, el cuestionarse cosas que se les inculco desde siempre, le cuesta la idea del cambio, pensar que algo que "siempre fue así" pueda ser malo, dañino, que deberia dejar de ser, le da miedo. Además que no le gusta que le digan lo que tiene que hacer/dejar de hacer. Que tengan la cara de decirme que decir "negro de mierda" no es racista, "porque significo negro de mente, no de piel" (comentario 100% real que me han dicho) como si eso significara algo????
agrego a esto que estoy de acuerdo con vos latinotiktok con que yo también pensaba que las rivalidades eran just for shit and giggles hasta que después leo acá o en otras redes que en otros países literalmente nos odian a los argentinos en serio.
Y me da una tristeza en sentido "realmente, REALMENTE odiás a 47 millones de personas por alguna que otra mal experiencia? yo que mierda tengo que ver con que LuquitasFutbol95 te insultó??"
Nada, me da por las pelotas que acá muchos se van a la mierda con la xenofobia pero como es contra argentina está todo bien.
Te entiendo perfectamente, hermane pero a la vez comprendo mucho cuando nos tiran a nosotros porque hay pelotudos que lamentablemente no entienden de límites. Y ese porcentaje quizá no es bastante alto pero es el que más se hace escuchar por redes como twitter.
Tipo me da por las re pelotas cuando empiezan con esas boludeces y después se ofenden cuando los gringos hablan de racismo. Y se hacen los desentendidos. Para citar a una reina:

we are often forgotten about in queer spaces - finding pride flags, pronoun pins, and the like can be extremely difficult, I can attest - and our complicated relationship with our gender & orientation is often under scrutiny in discourse. the bigender label has a long and storied history, and belongs within these spaces. happy pride month to my fellow bigender folks, we deserve a lovely june!
