#neocities users are so fucking mean for no reason

[klug]

I need to update links elsewhere but I did a major rehaul of my neocities because I was doing some experiments lol

my word of advice is do not use rstudio's default SSG for this. just skip to learning an actual SSG , unless you like feeling insane

I really really really love/hate the internet.

It never ceases to amaze me when I remember it was created by human beings. It seems like a bunch of images/concepts/shouts into the void, and yet behind every single element there's a person. And that's so terrifying and amazing because it's like nearly everything that we've created as a species ends up here in some form or another. And if it somehow hasn't yet, there are groups working hard to make sure it does.

I am unique from many in my generation (born 2003) because I spent a large portion of my formative years with very little internet access. As a kid I was all over those kids MMOs and virtual pet games, and as a teen I was really into tiktok, instagram, and youtube. But in between those times, after I had developed the curiosity to venture outside of neopets dot com, but before social media took over everyone's life and the internet was more than like 6 websites, I wasn't able to explore and really see what's out there. I never ran the gauntlet, stumbled upon bestgore, saw porn at age 10, was groomed on kik, or any of those experiences that so many of gen z seem to identify with. So when I gained access to the internet, all I really wanted to do was use social media and message my friends like every other kid my age was doing at the time.

Then I discovered something called elsagate. I was thrown into this rabbit hole of conspiracy theories, deleted youtube videos, and insane reddit posts about this bit of youtube that nobody except children knew about - until a few parents realized what the fuck their kids were watching and alerted the press about it.

Around the same time, I got into iceberg videos, I researched youtube drama, I talked to randos on omegle, I spent time lurking on the incel forums, I read about subreddits that had been banned, I listened to podcast episodes about real-life crime that got it's start on obscure fetish forums, I read wikipedia pages for fun, and I found some of the weirdest porn that the internet has to offer.

The truth is, I'm obsessed with the internet. And yet, there aren't a ton of books about the cultural aspect of things. Not much freely accessible research on the various fandoms, subcultures, fetish groups, micro-religions, and communities that are unique to the internet. That sucks for someone like me who wants to learn more without having to find everything from primary sources, but it's also great because that means I have a niche to fill and a hobby besides living vicariously through my sims.

I wanted this blog to be a neocities website but alas, I am a dumbass with no desire to learn basic HTML, or at least no drive to do it at the moment. I might figure it out and move everything over there but for now I'm just gonna keep things here where it's user-friendly and doesn't make me type these things <<<>>> all the time.

I'm going to write a bunch about a subject I think is interesting, do lots of research, and include my sources at the bottom. I will be using wikipedia and youtube as sources because A) aforementioned lack of secondary sources about shit like otherkins and femcels, and B) it's a tumblr account, not a college essay. I dropped out of college for a reason, I'm not about to subject myself to MLA APA format hell because I wanna write about the cultural impact of coolmathgames.

Posts will be coming whenever I am motivated to write, but hopefully I'll have something every other week or so. If you want to suggest a topic/nag me to post more/ask for more info my ask box is open. I'll also try to keep a masterlist of posts + links pinned for easy access ✭

>> Bunch of opinions on things (not necessary to read, but sometimes I block over these):

Russia's invasion of Ukraine

You should go fucking drown in a swamp if:

1. You do think that Russia has "valid" reasons (you're a fucking nazi then, russians are literally committing genocide of ukrainians)

2. Believe in russophobia

3. Fucking compare russians to jewish people?????? USSR and The Third Reich were literally ✨ the besties ✨ and no I'm talking not just about pact (read this article jesus christ), OH AND ALSO Stalin was very much a fan of Hitler so YES Russia pretty much ALWAYS was a nazi and imperialist state

4. If you cry over "russians DNI"

5. Related to 4, don't ever fucking fight with ukrainians that are venting out about us not in a "censored" way, ESPECIALLY DON'T REPLY WITH "some ukrainians are so mad it scares me" THEY HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO WISH WE WERE DEAD SHUT THE FUCK UP

6. "Not all russians" my ass, go die

Hammer and sickle users

Hammer and sickle in bio bitches don't even try to follow me. I don't support symbols promoting genocides. I literally can't stand you all. Also blocking every marxist-leninist

Flag discourse

I don't care

Rad exclus/inclus

Neither

Ace/aro discourse

Aphobia? Blocked

Fiction discourse

The whole thing is too complex, and I don't want to get fully involved in it. I'd like to say that you need to take a context of who is creating "problematic" content and what is their reason. Side eyeing "proships DNI" because I'm trying to unlearn purity culture

Fandoms

Edit: I don't care anymore lol

Self DX

100% support, but make sure you've read scientific paper aside from personal stories too

Xenogenders, neopronouns

Ur cool
