You know that whole "those who do not remember history are doomed to repeat it" thing?
This really is starting to look like TruePhan vs AntiPhan 2.
So maybe everyone should brush up on why that was such a disaster before we irradiate the Phandom for another 10 years.
I'm a cockroach here, but goddamn, even cockroaches get tired of being bombarded after a while.

sent my fanzine pieces to some friends and most didn't acknowledge them at all and the only one who did just went "nice" and nothing else :(((

Okay non horny post, I got those Bluetooth light bulbs that change color that you control from your phone and it's the best purchase ever
I can have amazing lighting for pics and I can switch to all kinds of mood lighting while laying in bed and even color changing modes that are customizable
The downsides are I need to be connected to wifi for me to control them and also I'm pretty sure even when I turn them off in the app they're still using electricity, but also I don't need to get up to turn off or on the lights so I'm happy with it

the thing about ao3 dickriders and the "proship" crowd at large is that it's essential to understand that they operate entirely on bad faith arguments and that strawmanning is a favorite pastime of theirs, which is where you get them falsely conflating resources for combating csa with content that exists for the express purpose of sexually exploitating children as to paint perceived and would-be detractors as pearlclutchers allergic to the presence of mature subject matter. like, I'm not going to pretend for a moment that these arguments aren't absolutely fucking batshit ridiculous but I don't know, it's just a particular brand of insidious that I don't think can be laughed off as just chronically online weirdos being chronically online given how horrifically misunderstood of a topic the general umbrella of sexual abuse is far beyond greasy fandom shipping corners of the internet.

i think wc fans should stop being in denial and just call the erins ableist already instead of well meaning older british ladies who make a few mistakes

i hope RE4R separate ways starts with ada sipping a mojito on the beach as she's rudely interrupted by an organization liaison who offers her the spain operation & she takes off her sunglasses, frowns & downs the rest of her drink, just as a fun contrast to leon's little edgy monologue about his really bad time under military service
#* file // : OOC — ( 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐏𝐎𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐑'𝐒 𝐂𝐑𝐔𝐒𝐀𝐃𝐄 . )#absolute queen of coping mechanisms#she is doing the best of ressie cast in my heart owing to her own laziness plenty of time on vacation and recreational drug use#self-medication is such a great idea#given she's a corporate spy she isn't quite as present in active outbreak zones as any anti-bioweapon service#and having a very honed sense of emotional intelligence that's almost dehumanizing in a sense#she's hyperaware of what she feels / why she feels it and can rationalize her way through her own actions#and those of the people around her#even if there's some projection and guesswork to fill in the blanks#the necessity of serving symptoms of a larger societal issue to destroy them from within#and though the parallel would be funny i would love to hear talk about her work as a double agent for wesker#resurfacing after raccoon city as a complete mystery that her employers fear for their own lack of understanding#and the organizations plans to stifle wesker's ambitions through ada#those are partially hinted at in her last report in RE4 but fully expanded upon in the guidebook#and it's such an interesting era of her career#really do hope they didn't retcon any of it#wanna hear more#they're holding back a lot about separate ways despite what is already present within the game files#so it makes me think it's truly ada's expanded role they promised before the game's release#drug use mention /#drug mention /

seeing a lot of ppl nowadays accuse lackluster stories as "the creators probly used AI to write this"
like,
no.
the fact that the story is very poorly written doesnt mean that AI wrote it. humans are still, and have always been, perfectly capable of writing shitty stories
to me, this just feels like another example of people associating "bad stuff" with nonhumans and "good stuff" with humans
like, humans are ONLY capable of writing good stories, and if the story isnt good, then it MUST HAVE BEEN written by AI (something that is nonhuman)
this is just a ridiculous and reductive mentality to have
like yea, it's POSSIBLE that the creators could have used AI, but the more likely explanation is that the creators simply did not want to or weren't able to create a good story for a plethora of reasons

There’s a way to handle the Hat Discourse(tm) and it’s this: stop assuming that characters are their appearances and acknowledge the game’s context. You do not need to downgrade the meaning of such a thing to ‘something Ouma took without thinking about it’ for it to, you know, not represent him as a person.
Besides that Ouma is presented in game as pretending to be a villain, as a means to an end, he very likely has to deal with actual dystopia and fascism in his real life if he ‘roleplays as the villain’ even in DICE. It could be a game if you want, but consider that this group was presented as having a strict No Kill rule, stuff you’ll see in groups such as resistance or other dangerous missions organisations that warrant confronting the possibility of killing. Basic common sense suggests that clown troupes do not need a No Kill rule because that is not the case there- take Rui Kamishiro from Project Sekai for instance, he pulls a whole lot of dangerous stunts, ones that could be a danger to life, but he’s a performer so he’s not going to implement ‘no killing’- because no shit, what kind of performer even considers killing as part of an act??
Look. I’m getting so, so tired of people acting as if using a surface level read of things will just evaporate the discourse on it. No. It won’t, and frankly that is the attitude that only makes the issue a hundred thousand times more frustrating. The whole thing becomes this nebula that everyone’s too afraid to talk about, which is not a sustainable way to handle this matter at all, especially when everyone and their dog is forcing the view that Ouma’s group are clowns.

I don't know if it's burnout or what but honestly I think I'm just more tired than I am scared right now.

i joined a discord server with an age limit recently and i'm constantly on edge like "oh god oh fuck they're gonna find out i'm secretly not old enough to be here" even though i'm literally twenty years old. i'm two years above the age limit. i'm literally older than multiple people there. but sure i'm not supposed to be here bc i say shit like blorbo and brain chemistry and have they / them pronouns. fucking hell

The reactionary shift carried in liberal language that's been taking place in this website these last three years would be so horrifying if it wasn't also so damn funny

since dia de los muertos got mentioned on the tl yesterday bc of that dp post i rb i highly recommend listening to this podcast ep to learn more abt the history of how dia de los muertos and how it's actually been thoroughly bastardized in our modern day both in the u.s. and mexico and has strayed far away from the indigenous communities it originated from
#i learned alot from this ep and it was interesting/important to hear both a queer zapoteca educator and an indigenous scholar talk abt this#from their perspective as indigenous ppl#it was wild finding out that dia de los muertos was brought to u.s. not thru mexican immigrants#but thru an italian american catholic nun in LA who ran the self help graphics which consisted of mostly chicanos#after introducing to film abt dia de los muertos that's where they got the idea to send those artists to oaxaca#to see how the ppl there celebrated it and the aesthetic of it and bring back to u.s.#the speakers mention that while this might have likely been way for these artists to reconnect bc they have roots in mexico#they didn't necessarily have connections to the communities they were observing and ended up ultimately stealing from#bc regardless of intent this is still a form of cultural appropriation#and it's honestly a symptom of a larger issue w/n the community when it comes both the diaspora and ppl living in mexico#bc of this prevailing notion that we are all mestizo and/or indigenous when that's not true#it's ultimately a mindset that actively harms actual indigenous ppl living in mexico who are still actively having their cultures be stolen#and/or erased and fighting for their rights and recognition from the country at large#even if some mexicans have indigenous ancestry they're still not culturally indigenous#that matters bc mexico has and still continues to adopt aspects of indigenous cultures but exclude indigenous ppl#it's the commodification of indigeneity basically#so when it naturally spread to different parts of u.s and they started introducing aztec dancing to it#(which i can only assume was bc dia de los muertos can traced back to the aztecs and maybe that's why it got added#but even then just bc ur mexican don't mean u have connection to the aztecs again going back to the 'we are all indigenous' myth)#this eventually leads to the face painting and ppl dressing up like calaveras and catrinas that you now see today#and one of the ppl hosting this ep mentioned how when it came to the face painting while it is a thing in mexico nowadays#this wasn't a thing according to where this person grew up in mexico#mexico obviously adopted bc it's just as capitalist as the states and will profit off indigenous cultures/the aesthetics of it#so when it look how commercialized the celebration in the u.s. w party city selling catrina costumes#stores like michaels and target selling decorations#hell disney making coco the fact they wanted to trademark dia de los muertos and when researching for the film#profited of the real life stories of oaxacans who were never compensated btw#like when you take in the full picture it's no longer a surprise of how we got here#robi rambles
