The point of piracy is not making money off someone's content. It's about preserving media. The internet is NOT forever and companies of all sizes refuse to make physical media anymore because then that means they can't charge you to keep watching or listening to whatever it is. They can also remove whatever the hell they want from your access whether you've paid for it or not. The Playstation store can just make games you've paid for nonaccessible anymore and because you don't have the physical copy, congrats. They just stole the game you paid for out of your hands.

Unless it's a very small company who relies on things like backers to fund projects or they're a small one man operation, piracy is always ethical.

Without piracy, thousands upon thousands of things would have been lost, especially with the way streaming services are just straight up deleting shows. It's to the point that the actual creators of these shows (the owl house comes to mind) are telling you to pirate it because they don't want it to be lost ever.

The multimillion dollar corporation is going to be just fine if you pirate that thing. Stop giving money to companies that can and will fuck you over for an extra buck.

[monstersw1thv1bes]

the AUDACITY of thinking starting a streaming service is the move here. like, I get that maybe YouTube isn't the place for watcher anymore, but then put your content on another place that already exists, don't create yet another subscription based streaming service. we don't need more of them.

gonna just say it: pirating is completely morally sound in this day and age. the ONLY reason I was willing to stop doing it at any point was because Netflix came along and put all the content I wanted to watch in ONE (1) place, which was convenient for me so I was willing to pay for it. before that if a show was on TV and I missed it because, you know, I had a life, I'd download or have my grandfather record it for me on his VCR (yeah, ig im getting old).

Hundreds of different streaming services are not convenient, and I'm not paying for a whole other subscription (I already have 2 and honestly that's too many) just so I can watch content made by TWO GUYS (sorry Steven. you seem nice but I'm just not that into you).

Also, removing content from YouTube that has been free and available on there the whole time until now is straight up just a scummy move.

I don't even wish the Watcher guys the best with this. They could have done literally anything else without being capitalist scumbags. I hope this whole idea goes up in flames, because this is the most bullshit idea ever and if we as consumers keep going along with all these subscription-based models, this is going to be a continuing trend (like it already is but people don't seem to realize that it'll stop happening once it stops being profitable. they just complain and still pay for it). and fuck that.

[robotpussy]

me when I'm a billion dollar corporation that figures out there is a possible way out of paying the artists, writers and actors involved in the shows on my streaming platform any residuals:

"Disney Removes Dozens Of Series From Disney+ & Hulu, Including ‘Big Shot’, ‘Willow’, ‘Y’ & ‘Dollface’"

i don't believe any of the shows removed or being removed got any physical releases either so they're gone forever. after the hbo max events and now the current WGA strikes (and potentially the SAG strike too) this is definitely going to be a common occurrence now I believe.

Disney claims it's for "content curation" but there is a very big chance this may also be happening because if a streaming service removes a show or film that was a streaming exclusive and never got a physical release or was available on another platform, residuals do not have to be paid. anyways the rise of piracy shall come again

(obligatory "you guys weren't pirating corporate media before?" comment. I mean, I was! but I know many people weren't!)

[thefloatingstone]

How would you reconcile being OK with piracy and wanting to support actors and writers?

Actors and writers constantly tell people to pirate their work because, unlike streaming services, they actually want you to SEE their work.

Actors get paid by the studios who hire them and, thanks to how fucked up the streaming industry is, they don't get residuals because streaming services purposefully remove shows before they have to pay the actors so they don't have to PAY those residuals. And then the show is killed in the process. So even if you watch the show legally you're not contributing to the actors or writers financially. They've already been paid.

The only reason to watch a show legally is to show the streaming service you are interested in that particular content which encourages them to consider making more.

As for me personally;

1: I live in Africa where 90% of these streaming services are not available. I can't even access fucking Tubi.

2: one dollar is worth R18 meaning I can afford to subscribe to one streaming service but I literally do not have the income to commit to more because they are priced for countries that have money.

Watching a show, talking about it, saying how much you liked it on social media, making art, making fanfics, making videos and whatever else you do to spread the word of mouth about a show or movie or game is a thousand times more valuable than making sure Netflix shareholders are still getting their 70 year record profit margin while you have to figure out how to pay for HBO+ and also afford food this month.

Don't set yourself on fire to keep other people warm.

Legitimate question coming from honest cluelessness...what's the difference between reblogging studio porn gifs and reblogging gifs from any movie or TV show?

it really isn't a comparable thing.

like think about seeing a movie/TV gif. even if there's no source or tagging or anything, the nature of popular media being standardly credited to the people who've worked on that piece of media make it far easier to source. every tv show and movie you watch has extensive credits. there are a number of things you could search just about the gif that would inherently link back to the source material either by context or by the folks that made whatever was so eye-catching about that gif special. you will inherently be able to credit most of the film and tv gifs you see. even small time actors enjoy a level of recognition by the public so they will likely always be shown proper credit for their work.

porn has never gotten the same respect due to the vicious cycle the devaluation of the service has created. the countless names who've put work into the studio porn you love will never have the same crediting no matter how good the studio is about it. people who believe the hard work of sex workers should be a free service always have pirated studio content knowing the rampant ignorance toward porn piracy will pretty much guarantee they'll get away with it. then, that pirated chopped up sliver of the film gets taken and reposted over and over and over again until the source is impossible to find. that has set a standard where people see pirated content and just assume it being sourceless is the nature of the industry and perpetuate it further. most mainstream porn studios have done absolutely nothing to stop this in the past because they'll always make their money back anyway. the performer in the pirated video/gif will likely never get credit on a majority of the pirated content featuring them. we do not enjoy a wide level of public recognition or even recognition by many of the people who gleefully consume our content. the few folks that actually DO respect the labor put in often cannot find us because everything is 15 layers removed from the source.

when you share an unsourced movie gif, you aren't doing anything to distance that media that far from the source. it's inherently respected and credited well. every time you reblog a stolen porn video or gif, you're actively participating in distancing the content from the source. piracy from adult content creators is, for some reason, seen as the norm. as long as well-meaning folks remain ignorant of the truth of how truly undercredited adult content is, it's never going to get any better.

love and blood | killian jones

The course of history is changed forever when a ruggedly charming pirate’s fate is intertwined with that of a dark sorceress more powerful than any he had ever encountered.

Warnings: Violence. Mature themes/language. Sexual content.

IV. Dark Ones

V. The Witch’s Champion

Killian Jones watched with curiosity as Gorgon the supposedly Invincible rose to his feet as he offered his services to the Blood Queen.

“Thank you for your allegiance, Gorgon,” her silky voice responded. “It will not go unrewarded.”

The sorceress slowly waved two bejeweled fingers in front of the man, as, just for a split second, all of the veins in his body seemingly glowed bright red with magic. Gorgon gasped in surprise, looking upon his savior with an almost naive sense of wonder.

“What have you done?” he asked her.

“It would appear I’ve removed that nasty blood curse of yours,” she provided, only to be met with confusion. “I have a knack for that sort of magic,” she explained.

“I don’t understand,” Gorgon breathed, “No sorcerer, or sorceress, of course, has eved been able to find a cure for the curse placed upon me.”

“Like I said; blood magic is kind of my specialty,” Carmilla remarked coyly.

“An understatement,” the man stared. “Your gift is quite remarkable.”

“And now, you, too, are free to use your gift,” she reminded him.

Hook instinctively looked to his companion for an explanation, not knowing much about this Gorgon character.

“I’m afraid I don’t understand,” Gorgon told her.

“Back when those hunters were stalking you… You took the form of a pheasant. That blood curse that was placed upon you, it made it so that you were unable to control what form you take, or when. I’ve made it so that not only are you free of that curse, but you’re free to harness your ability to take whatever shape you desire,” she answered.

“My fair lady!” Gorgon gasped. “If what you say is true, I owe you more than I could ever repay!”

“As I said before. You owe me nothing,” Carmilla promised, “Except, of course, your services as my champion.”

“Anything,” he nodded quickly. “Now. Tell me more about this for that plagues you.”

Hook stood by Carmilla’s side as the bird remained perched on her shoulder, anxiously awaiting the development of this particular endeavor. He was slowly growing tired of Gorgon and his relentless flattery.

“The man I wish to defeat is a very powerful sorcerer; the most powerful,” she replied. “He holds the title of ‘Dark One’.”

Hook watched Gorgon’s reaction and realized this meant nothing to him. This should be interesting, he thought.

“His powers are unique?” Gorgon considered.

Carmilla nodded. “Very much so. He is, as you’ve probably gathered, a conduit of darkness itself. He’s powerful, immortal, and can only be killed by one weapon.”

“And where do we find this weapon?” Gorgon asked readily.

Hook could tell Carmilla was loving his vigilance on her behalf. It was very convenient.

“That’s the tricky part; he keeps it safely guarded,” she stated, “He’s never far from it.”

“And there’s no other weapon that can kill him?”

“Even if there was, it’s imperative you kill him with his dagger,” she emphasized, “Because if you kill him with that dagger, you take his place as Dark One.”

Gorgon considered this for a moment, processing everything he’d just heard.

“I’d be immortal?” he asked her.

Carmilla nodded. “You’d be more powerful than any sorcerer in all the realms. Including myself.”

“Forgive me for asking, my lady,” he began, “But I don’t quite see why you need me. Would it not be better if you simply killed this ‘Dark One’ yourself, and took his place?”

Hook raised an eyebrow as he turned to Carmilla, fully aware that whatever she was about to tell this man was a complete lie; Carmilla needed a champion to kill Dunstan for her and take the mantle of Dark One purely because even she knew, in all her vindictive and power-hungry glory, that the title of Dark one was not one to be coveted.

“You see, Gorgon, I’ve already come quite close to achieving immortality, as well as eternal youth,” she explained, not yet lying. “I’m over a thousand years old, for starters.”

Gorgon was at the point of shamelessly open-mouth staring at her.

“Y-You’re a thousand years old?!” he blurted out.

“Yes, I am,” she nodded, “You see, I chose to seek out a knight in shining armor, so to speak, because I have already harnessed my power. Now, it’s your turn. To become the fearsome shapeshifter you were always meant to be, and to fulfill your destiny as the next and final Dark One,” she finished with a sweet, deceptive smile.

The enticing look on her face was completely foreign to Hook. He even started to wonder if Carmella truly was completely honest with him solely because it seemed this is what it looked like when she lied.

“‘Fearsome’?” he wondered. “I could truly become Gorgon the Invincible?”

“You can, mate,” Hook nodded. “All you have to do is come with us.”

Gorgon thought for a moment, never having been faced with such a choice in his life.

“These shapeshifting powers… They’ve never made the others see me as any sort of champion,” he thought. “I’ve only ever been an outcast; a monster, or a weakling.”

“That all changes today,” Carmilla promised. “Now that your curse is lifted, you don’t have to live in fear. You don’t have to be the helpless pheasant anymore; you could choose to be whatever you like. A flighty hawk, a noble steed, or even a fire-breathing wart hog; whatever it is your heart desires.”

“A fire-breathing wart hog?” Gorgon pondered.

“Sky’s the limit,” Hook nodded.

It only took him a moment to side with Carmilla.

“I will do as you ask, my lady,” Gorgon announced with resolved, hand over his heart. “I will become the next Dark One.”

“Oh, I know you will,” Carmilla agreed, grinning uncontrollably.

*****

After a bit of coaching, Gorgon was able to used his newly discovered magical abilities to transport himself, Carmilla, and Hook to his home in the blink of an eye in a cloud of emerald green smoke. He had insisted upon preparing a meal for her his guests, which left Hook and Carmilla to sit at his table, which was large enough for four but was used to sitting one.

“Might I ask you something, Carmilla?” Hook piped up after a moment.

“If I said no, I’m sure you’d just ask anyway,” she reasoned pointedly.

“Fair enough.”

“So ask,” she said impatiently.

“Back there, in the forest,” he began, having been contemplating for a while. “You were able to rid Gorgon, a shapeshifter, of his curse.”

“I was.”

“So, why were you never able to cure Col?” Hook wondered.

He watched Carmilla’s jaw clench as the raven cawed quietly, head turned towards her. This was one of the moments where Hook particularly wished he could understand the bird. Carmilla lightly cleared her throat before speaking.

“The witch who cursed him knew my magic well,” she answered, surprising earnestly.

There was no petty irritation or sarcasm in her words.

“She knew that if she cursed him using blood magic, I would never be able to undo it. No matter what I did. The magic she was able to do was, admittedly, impressive. Even to me. Powerful stuff,” she confessed. “Not only did she make the curse impermeable, but… she managed to tether it to his life force.”

“How do you mean?” Killian asked quietly.

He watched the discomfort appear on her face for a split second before she composed herself.

“Even if I did find a way to break Col’s curse…” Carmilla told him.

He frowned sympathetically.

“He’d die.”

Her story finally made everything make sense to Hook. Now, it made even more sense to him. Carmilla, the all-powerful blood magic practitioner, couldn’t break the curse that plagued her husband because he’d die if she did. She kept him alive in his cursed raven form only because it was better than losing him altogether. The story, he thought, truly was a tragic one.

“So now you understand,” Carmilla read the expression of pity on his face, “Why his curse is the only one I cannot break.”

He nodded sadly, trying to come up with something better to offer. He looked at her, with Col sitting perched on her shoulder. The bird refused to look at her now, and even though to him it was just a bird, Killian Jones still knew the look of a man who resented his wife.

“How about we digress,” he suggested, his demeanor more playful once again, “And I ask you the other question on my mind.”

“By all means,” Carmilla allowed, seeming somewhat withdrawn.

“Why, pray tell,” Hook leaned in as he stared into her dark eyes, “Wouldn’t you, a powerful sorceress, jump at the opportunity to become the Dark One?” he murmured.

Carmilla just laughed at the idea. “Why, pirate?” she said mockingly. “Do I not frighten you enough?”

“Oh, you frighten me plenty,” he assured her. “I just don’t understand why that kind of unlimited power, and unbridled dark magic wouldn’t appeal to you.”

“Simple,” she murmured, careful to make sure Gorgon wasn’t in earshot. “I’m powerful; perhaps one of the most powerful practitioners of magic in all the realms. I’ve lived for over a thousand years all on my own. Becoming the Dark One would make the dagger my weakness, and I simply don’t need one of those,” she replied simply.

Hook understood her point, agreeing that it was prudent of her not to choose to become the Dark One, as convenient as it would be for him in his quest to exact his revenge upon the current Dark One in their time, Rumplestiltskin.

Game Ownership

In sort of a response to the Ubisoft director of subscriptions where he said that we need to get more confortable not owning games...

Well, reading that interview from GamesIndustry.biz, turns out he never really said that. It's more of an observation of the gaming subscription services, and comparing different views. It's actually a pretty interesting read.

But the negative response to the more clickbait part where the gamers went very much against this from the get go was something that particularly striked me as how I really just didn't feel like I was part of those who responded like this.

I do not care about owning games that much. I may be a owner of retro consoles, games, and about 50 Switch physical games, but the reasons ranges from passion to just practical and economical.

Taking the example of the Switch, what currently makes me attached to physical games are more of how it's usually cheaper in my country (like, first party games day one tend to be 25% off brand new), and the practicality when you live in a household with 2 Switch systems, it's just easier to share the games that way with your family. If I could just buy digitally with the same advantages, I'd just do that.

This view on game ownership has mostly to do with my past of a guy who pirated games and movies like crazy before we got a little more comfortable paying for stuff. But this past also comes with a deeper importance on the presence of data locally. Cloud gaming is something I hate on passionately if the industry keeps going on that as a means to play games exclusively. It would be the kind of thing that would make my heart broken about modern gaming as a whole, but thankfully we're not even close to there, and I suspect we'll never be.

But I could also not need to pay for the games, I don't really see a lack of ownership as a problem on its own. The only thing that matters is if it's practical or not, and that's the part that feels like it tends to be skipped when explained. That's how it went about movies and music.

That practicality is critical, and that is the part that's the most in danger. The big reason why is how companies can decide on a whim what is accessible to suit their needs. That WILL be completely in the process of enshittification due to how companies have to keep growing until it makes no more sense. You don't even need to look very far to understand this, video streaming services are already very good at doing absolutely this, but I also dare say the Game Pass and PlayStation Plus are on a similar boat to a different extent, though.

One of the recent examples of how bad shit is HBO Max's removal of a huge amount of content just for a massive tax write down. There is financial incentive to fuck us all, and I consider the future to do absolutely that in the long term for gaming.

That kind of thing SUCKS. That is what we're actually scared of as a consumer. I hate seeing art being considered as a throwaway product.

I even saw a french article that was so complacent with this and kept saying complete bullshit things like "oh if they remove that game from the service, just take it as an opportunity to play another one" just, fuck off. That's not how I see this kind of service.

I love Nintendo Switch Online, despite a lot of its flaws, and hate on Virtual Console's overall legacy personally. I'm all for ways to allow discoverability and pick the curiosity of people. That's the kind of shit that I love in having some ease of access to catalogs, despite not owning them.

Wasn't it the dream to just access to everything with less money though? Don't tell me otherwise because I wouldn't believe you. I do think there's something nice in this kind of service, but we also need to figure how to keep companies from the inevitable enshittification that will ensue on the constant need for growth beyond any reasonable sense.

When someone drowned themselves in liquor, it was only natural to help them out. The Dreadnought was familiar with drunk pirates and how to heal them. With Dr. Blythe hovering out from beneath his cloak, restoring the liver was hardly a challenge, however his services weren't. The poor man was too drunk to consent to care and was in no position to negotiate pricing, so The Dreadnought collected what he thought was fair all on his own. Bladder, intestines, kidney, lungs, each organ removed surgically and placed into his mysterious case while Dr. Blythe kept the drunken pirate alive through the entire operation even as his internal cavity became barren.

He was content leaving the liver behind while keeping the remaining organs as payment. He would’ve removed the ribcage as well if not for sensing the approach of an observer. He wasn’t one for putting on a show so The Dreadnought slowly rose to his feet, ending the spell that conjured Dr. Blythe from his flesh as he slowly turned to face the onlooker. With the same careful, sluggish movements, he brought his fingers to his throat to modulate his voice. The Dreadnought didn’t take chances. “This poor man drank himself to death. How unfortunate,” he says, the temporary vocal cords he wove distorting the pitch of his words, making his voice impossible to recognize. “I did all I could for him, but I’m not a miracle worker. What a shame.”

Hopefully by the time Marcy’s webcomic becomes a cartoon, streaming services will stop removing content for tax write offs.

Considering that it’d be in the 2030s by the time it airs, I’d hope that all this current bs of studios fucking over writers and fans would be over or at least at a pause.

Either way I could see Marcy pulling a Dana Terrance and pirate her own show. (Or what I did and downloaded all of Sym-Bionic Titan and keep it on a flash drive to later burn on a dvd so I can have it forever and there’s nothing CN/Zazlav can do about it)

She’d have seen all this bs and make sure to prepare and preserve

Voltron is being removed from Netflix on December 7th. For some reason. Thought this show was a Netflix exclusive

TFW i said "good"

But honestly, thinking about it, that's really god-awful, and speaks volumes about how the streaming service standard is pretty flawed, all things considered. Streales of ming services were MEANT to be an avenue for people who didn't have the capacity to buy physical copies of a show or movie to still have access to it. But when a streaming service makes an original creation, and then proceeds to take it down, that means ALL access to that creation - at least through legal means - ceases to exist entirely.

This goes the same for content that is otherwise 'out of print', as it were. I've heard tales of some shows and movies going completely off the radar, and if it weren't for pirating and archival services, they'd have completely been lost from the record. There are STILL instances like that.

Luckily, VLD is at least popular enough that I'm sure it exists in a myriad of places, but I do feel bad for the audience that isn't able to get physical copies and who may not know much about archives or pirating to be able to get their mitts on it either.

Netflix continues to make dubious decisions and it shows every time I hear any sort of news about it.

so i know it’s my own fault for putting off watching rise of the pink ladies, i haven’t had a good chance to sit down and pay attention to a tv show that i hadnt already memorized all the quotes of. (it’s concerning how much newgirl i have watched) but still, i had wanted to watch it and give validation to my obsession with its content, but now i can’t because THEY FUCKING REMOVED IT ALREADY?!?!?

it is so incredibly stupid to completely remove the show from the platform so nobody can ever watch it again without pirating it or something.

if you enjoyed the show and want to be able to watch it again and maybe potentially get a second season or if you’re like me and never got the chance to watch it and still wants to see it, the show is being shopped around for another streaming service, whether it’s to make a new season or to just buy the rights to so people can still watch it.

there’s a option on hulu where you can vote to have the show review here below:

https://community.hulu.com/s/idea/0875f000000Eg3WAAS/detail

there’s also a petition you can sign here:

i also (also) suggest you go follow leelghost on tiktok, who has a lot more information on how to help the show and reaction videos on all the episodes. so go follow her please :)

predictions for 2024:

someone's gonna piss on white house property but not in the toilet

joe biden and trump die of old age mere months before the election and both of the single party that americans have two of have to scramble for new candidates. the democrats will ignore bernie for a borderline republican who will change their allegiance the moment they get into office (assuming a democrat win)

Ronald Dion Desantis and Greg Abbott get the Shinzo Abe Experience (and the republican party starts caring about gun violence over this) (but only removing the guns from the hands of the minority groups that did the shootings)

Anthony Albanese will eat a food wildly incorrectly (such as a raw onion) and Baldi's Basics in Running a Political Party will do a silly dance in parliament because he is defending a corporation. the news companies will only cover one of these.

Captain Ancap will actually try selling Argentina's president seat to Elon Musk and there's a coin flip chance of him accepting it and somehow running it about the same

At least 2 African nations will legalize slavery

Joe Biden actually tries to raise the minimum wage as a last minute fuck you to his party. it hits 9 us dollars per hour. this is still not enough to pay rent in any city.

Nintendo announces a new switch, but there is a glaring issue with the name that makes it sound like an accessory for the original (like the WII U being mistaken for a gamepad add on for the wii)

Another Ubisoft sandbox that's as boring as the last. It magically makes it into the game awards

There is a new indie game that's cool until it hits the elsagate market and becomes skibidi dop dop dop yes yes skibidi dop dop nyeem nyeem levels of dogshit. the developers lean into it and change things already in the game to fit this, leaving the ideal way to play as a pirated copy of the first release version.

Mario Kart 9 is announced for the Switch 2. The retro courses have a lot of MKDS and MKWII's courses (nitro and retro) and yoshi circuit gets the shortcut back from double dash

Valve makes an agreement with Epic to let Fortnite on Steam. They also release a major TF2 update with new Valve-made content that isn't a scrapped map from 2010 that they reskinned. It's got Cactus Canyon on top of the new map, with an extra few cacti because it will have gone through more versions. Beta Maps get added to the Casual map queue under their own. Player Destruction gets added to the core casual queue and the invasion maps get put into the right categories. Medieval Mode gets new maps. VSH is put into a new "arcade" mode.

TF2 Casual's Core Modes and Alternative Modes are combined, but the ultrawacky modes are shoved into arcade. There's a case for valve items and war paints, and a case for community items, and a community war paint case. This results in a bug with Unusual skins with the seasonal hat effects and Unusual hats with the skin effects. Competitive resets every year now and gives a badge for your rank.

This update also includes a Fortnite-Themed set for scout/heavy that comes in genuine for linking a Fortnite account subscribed to the Crew service. The entire update is actually a promotion for Fortnite coming to steam and the TF2 collab.

Additional Fortnite collabs include Guilty Gear (Asphalt/Brisket/Sol/Ky) and Touhou. The Nintendo Collab has Link and Samus (with zero suit style) and this causes news headlines to come out because gregor samsus has the bulge (suddenly this is an issue because they need clicks)

The Zero Suit style and the Skyward Sword link styles are locked behind playing on a Switch/Switch 2, depending on when they come out and the switches dont actually render the bulge on samus (cringe)

An Australian Politician (Male) will have to stop campaigning against trans people for a second because one of the women he sucked off recorded it and posted it on tiktok. He will then switch entirely to an anti-CCP angle to try and blast tiktok and distract from the fact he did the homophobic politician thing

Sussan Ley will have her office sign griefed to say SUS. The nearby Cafe's incredibly blank wall that needs a mural finally gets one (it's amongus)

There will be 3 Homestuck books donated to my local library and I will not know any of the people who did it.

a trans man comes 1st in a major competition and this is going to be ignored just like every other time because it doesnt fit the media narrative of "trans women upend their entire lives to get an advantage in sports and trans men simply do not exist"

One of those robot police dogs shoots an on duty officer and becomes the first good police dog.

Kamala Harris' Registeel falls onto train tracks and damages a train in the process of being destroyed.

Weed is federally legalized in the USA, Australia and Scotland, which secedes from the UK to rejoin Europe. Wales and Northern Ireland also secede from england and the Irelands reunite.

England becomes increasingly bad for trans people but scotland, wales, and the newly reunified ireland start going hard on the trans support, opening a new informed consent clinic every month.

Western australia sees the kingdom ununiting and tries to secede from the rest of australia. It almost gets through before someone remembers it exists and stops it.

Dr Egghead from one piece tells Luffy that he has autism right at the end of the Egghead Island arc, to nobody's surprise. Nami officially comes out as lesbian and this almost kills Brook and Sanji (i love brook until he does the sexual harassment. sanji is irredeemable.)

A new anime with a severely autistic girl in the main character slot comes out and is an instant hit again.

Another one of my friend group comes out as trans (it's the former mcdonalds worker)

I get the job at the place half my graduating class got a job at

Panera releases the Lemonade That Kills People internationally with half the caffeine. or i can stock up on that stuff at my local american/international stores because that's 5 coffees worth of caffeine in one drink and that saves me drinking 5 whole coffees per day when working.

Shrek 5 gets a trailer and there's a reference to one of Dreamworks' bad movies (like boss baby) in it. Death makes a background appearance in a scene where Puss is near death.

Shinzo Abe's assassination continues to be the most effective strategy for making politicians do things in favour of the average person.

At least one US Supreme Court member's house is bombed, killing them.

Illumination makes more Onceler content because they think that'll make money

Every country in the UN except the 5 with veto power try to take away the veto power and replace it with the value of 10 votes each.

A 6 foot 5 girl comes out in fiction and everybody starts calling them mommy and wanting her to step on them, making every 6'5" girl uncomfortable. I request that everyone stay normal during this.

YOLO and Epic come back into common use. Epic is now an insult.

Pokemon releases a new pair of DLC for Scarlet and Violet. Between the two, people will be able to get every pokemon ever released again, meaning we finally have an answer to whether revival blessing can be used in revivecats. There is a way to reduce IVs. there is a secret superboss at the end of that second half of the second dlc pass that comes with the world champion 2023/24 team but it's level 100. It's Carmine this time and she's just been curious about what's been going on around the regions.

This pokemon DLC lets you change your furfrou's cut and it will persist until you change it again. you can deposit it into home, frustrating the people who wanted the pharaoh cut and put high value legendaries for it. Ledian gets an evolution with an absurd base stat total and the stats are actually distributed correctly. It gets a new 70 power priority Bug Punch and is surprisingly busted. More complaints about gen 9 uu looking like gen 9 ou come in.

Gina Rinehardt gets fucking killed by one of her workers who got tired of her shit
