If you care even just a little about good reporting, good features writing, reviews, any of it — especially in video games — please, god, just try to say it when you can. Be angry at the right people.

Corporate media thinks readership will accept and eat slop when fed it. They want writers and journalists turning work around as fast as possible, filled with as much buzzword SEO bullshit as they can stuff it with. The craft is dying. This is why you're stuck with so much shit in your feed. Painful to read, unhelpful guides, lacking passion, published without edits, spreading misinformation, all of it.

Please push back on AI, and understand there's not a soul in games media there for the money or 'perks' because there are none. For now, I recommend sites like Aftermath if you want to see more good games reporting and a desire for this to improve for labor and readership.

“Dana left disney, so now there’s no way we’re getting spinoffs or comics for toh-”

Guys, Dana spent 5 years making The Owl House, as frustrating as it was for it to be cut, making what we got still took so much time and hard work from her and the rest of the team.

The woman needs some time to rest, and she can’t very well do that by hanging out in the disney offices rn.

and even if she gets approved for extra content, we still probably won’t have it out for some time regardless because of the work and time put into it.

There’s so much misinfo claiming that because she left she’s never doing toh stuff again and that’s just straight up not true.

She’s interested, she’s made that clear, but for now she’s a bit burnt out so until she’s up for it again, you just kinda got to be patient.

Promote the show, keep hammering disney, but don’t put pressure on her specifically, this is something she should be ready to do in her own time as well. 

Let her rest so she can come back when she’s up for it, however long that may be, and in the meantime make sure disney knows there’s interest for the series to continue in the meantime.

I think people see “ Dana left disney” and just jump to the worst conclusions almost instantly, but it’s not as bad as you think when pulling back the clickbait.

These are hardworking people behind the show and if you were in their position, you’d want a break too.

The real takeaway here is:

Yes, she left.

Could she come back? Yes, she could, if she wants to.

Is this the end for toh forever? No, if she wants to come back and disney is asked for more, then we can get more. But they sure won’t approve if there’s no  fan interest anymore.

For now, the fandom will manage on it’s own, until then.

here's what i plan on doing

I am going to subscribe to Watcher TV right now during the beta period, and I'll share with you the developments as they're made. puppet content will continue in due time.

I'm very disappointed with the community's response to this move. it's one thing to be upset you won't get your free content, but it's another to call the guys sellouts or fakes or imply they hate their young, broke audience who are So Invested in their videos. it's literally their means of survival, there is no way Your dedication to their videos outweighs Theirs.

i am a creative who is only above the poverty line because he lives alone and works full time. it's sad to see dedicated fans look at three guys living in one of the most expensive cities in the World, trying to make what They care about instead of letting youtube force them into ad-riddled content farm formats, and say 'you're just as bad as buzzfeed'. no, they really are not. please learn the difference between a group trying to support itself and maintain its mission statement and a media giant trying to turn a profit. shane literally said in the video you can share your account!!!! jfc!!!

A. Kirkland- Pitbrow Woman, '81

In the last month or so, my interest in nyo!England has blossomed. Yet, I have long disliked the canon stylization of the character.

Ms. Alice Kirkland has never been one to shy away from physical labor or the harsh realties of her own people. Even at the height of her international power, it was rare that- unless directly requested by the monarch or prime minster- that she lived among the aristocrats for long periods of time. A stark difference between her and her French counterpart. While her rebellious days as a sailor were behind her, throughout the 1800s it was not uncommon to find her either in the mines, in a factory, or tending to her own country estate farm.

I could not have done any of this without these references.

handing this take to you bc if i trust anyone with it it’s you anyways it’s funny how i keep seeing big fans of rinne who also like hate eichi as if they did not do the exact same basic shtick of “playing the villain out of love for idols, because they felt it was going to make things better overall” just in different circumstances and done very differently based off their personalities ofc

I love reading things im so far removed from, i had no idea there were rinnePs who hate eichi? I think the only rinneP i follow is mimi whom i respect quite a lot. But yeah, it's hypocritical innit?

[that-gay-jedi]

Please watch and enjoy this video regardless of whether you like/engage with cowboy iconography at all bc it's got something for everyone.

Also addresses uncomfortable truths about race and colonialism in the wild west mythos in a context that made my brain do a little lightbulb pop to like... the ways in which care jobs, professional cleaning, fast food, retail, and call center work fill a similar niche today, in the sense that many PoC find employment there for the same reason many LGBTQ+ people do and both groups experience a gooey mix of (relative) opportunity and blatant exploitation therein.

Gnashing my teeth a bit because I found another reaction to donghua (it was for the Lord of the Mysteries trailer) and I was pretty excited because—despite bad experiences—I always try to be tentatively excited about any international attention paid to donghua…

But then the man says halfway through, “Somehow China’s not sucking, which is like…shocking.”

Yikes, much? 😬

And you know what sucks even more??

He later mentions it looks great, but he also says, “I don’t know how much of it could be AI-generated though, but yeah…”

Is it that insane that some Chinese animators can actually make something really nice?? Jesus fucking Christ.

[symptoms-syndrome]

Listen. I know I've said this sort of thing before and I don't wanna put the person who wrote this on blast or anything which is why I cropped their name out. But I'm honestly really fucking tired of this sort of...post? Rhetoric? Whatever.

To be real, our culture does NOT value people who party and go out and have sex and are loud and all that shit. ESPECIALLY if you are queer. Our world is not the world you see on TV and in movies. IRL, a lot of people who do this kind of thing are victim blamed when bad things happen to them, slut shamed for what they wear and what they do, seen as irresponsible, stupid, shallow, etc.

There's nothing wrong with being a homebody, or being more introverted or preferring quieter hobbies. But let's not make this a binary. I party, I actively participate in nightlife, I go clubbing. I also like to read and stay at home and brew tea and listen to the rain. We are not enemies. Our society does not value you less than it values me, in fact oftentimes these quieter hobbies are seen as better than partying and drinking.

You don't need to put others down to feel validated and lift yourself up. Consider the humanity of others. People like the ones described in this post are full and complex human beings, not characters in a stupid party movie.

Saw a video and it got me in a mood so i'm making this post.

I don't think people who have never been fat knows how fucking hard it is to find clothing for bigger bodies.

The first issue is finding stuff in your actual size. Because time after time after time and time again I've gone to a store and they only had small and medium sizes. Not even large. And this was not for a few clothes, no. It was for MOST clothes that I found interesting. And then the ones that were marked as large were simply not big enough.

And I know that the reason for that is that brands simply won't make clothes for fat people. It's that because it surely isn't because the large size is selling out fast. They just don't do it. And some people have the nerve to say 'well brands are not obligated to make sizes for everyone' yeah sure, but also, I can't walk naked on the street can I?

Like I don't get it. 'oh but we want our clothes to fit a especific body' so fucking make clothes that are supposed to fit bigger bodies. Doesn't have a to be a whole ass collection.

And then we get on the second problem which is making clothes for plus size people that are ugly as hell. It's always the same stuff: ugly florals, animal print that belongs in another decade, cold shoulders, that weird extra fabric at the end of a shirt to hide the belly, or just black/muted colors.

Like fun fact. If you have big boobs, the hardest thing in the world is trying to find a bra that comes in a color that isn't white, black or beige. Because trust me, I've spent 3 hours walking in the shopping mall and I couldn't find anything that fit my breasts that was like pink (and in that situation I needed a pink bra for a play).

It feels like most clothes made for plus sized people are designed with like 50+ year old white women in mind, and not even that demographic of people are wearing those clothes (my mom is a plus sized 50+ year old white woman and often talks about how ugly some clothes made for people her size are).

It's hard trying to develop your own sense of style when none of the clothes around you are in your size, and when they do, they are just not good looking to you.

But you wanna know what's the down right worst part? Do you know what fucking brand has clothes that look good and are amde for bigger bodies?

The goddamn cancer on this earth that is Shein.

I fucking hate shein. Fast fashion is killin the fashion industry, they literally have people working as slaves and many influecers buy shein clothes by the bulk only to then throw it in the trash. Shein is awful.

But. Unfortunetly, shein is the only place that I found that had clothes that fit me and looked good. I don't like that. I avoided buying from shein for the longest time ever, but jesus christ, when you can't find clothes anywhere else you get desperate.

I tried looking for other places. I tried looking at my local clothing stores and everything was too small for me. I tried looking at online small bussinesses but they either didn't make my size, or it was sold out, or the prices were very high. Tried looking at thrift stores, also didn't find my size.

I try not to buy too much from shein or to spend long periods of time in between buying, because again, I feel bad about buying there. I don't want to buy from there.

Clothing brands/stores gotta do better. And I don't think that's asking for too much.

Not having soap in your restroom should be a health code violation.

Not having working sinks in a restaurant should be a health code violation.

If you cannot wash your hands in a food establishment, you should not be serving food.

[bandzboy]

it's honestly so infuriating how people act so defeatist when it comes to so many things in the world especially things that are systematic like... saying shit like "but it's been like this for years" yeah and does it make okay? OF COURSE NOT! you can identify the issue but you are gonna let it happen because why? there's no reason for you to let it happen especially if you know it's wrong you gotta stand tf up and do something about, talk about it and let other knows so action can be taken that's how things change!
