i always forget how much ppl genuinely hate black people on twitter, esp in the anime community. that BS discourse over that dandadan fanart art just reminded me how miserable ppl are and how much they gen just hate black people. it’s so sad.

i’ve noticed my twitter use time going back up recently and it’s bumming me out bc i gen feel worse after being on there. ive been doomscrolling sm lately. i’ve also started using tiktok again more, which reminded me of how much a hate tiktok bc everyone on there is actually extremely stupid 😭

it just sucks bc as much as i wanna find ppl who like the same stuff as i me, its so hard when twitter and tiktok are simultaneously the most populated platforms to do so and actual cesspools full of bigots and idiots :/ it just makes me sad bc the it’s nearly impossible to find ppl irl who share my interests so the internet is the next best place is the internet is extremely horrible lol.

there’s not a point to this post really, i just wanted to rant a bit.

It’s unfortunate how when something so beautiful is put out there and finally recognized becomes so vulnerable. One second it’s amazing because something so wonderful is finally getting the attention it deserves, but then the internet does what it does and those bad apples make the whole batch look bad.

I wish this wasn’t a never ending cycle, but I don’t think there’s anything that can be done to prevent it from happening.. so many fandoms get burnt down after facing 5 minutes of fame because of so many factors and we’re forced to watch as the beautiful city we watched be built get destroyed in the blink of an eye.

If Yaelokre needs to take a breather and create their lovely world in private, safe from the deadly grasp of the internet, I think they should by all means do so. But I hope the bad apples in their batch of apples don’t make them stop growing apples, and I hope the earthquakes destroying their beautiful city doesn’t stop them from rebuilding it into something even more wonderful.. I hope that makes sense to you all.

How I be feeling rn

Is it worth to keep my Deltarune muses around? They’re not really. Doing much anymore, especially with the whole debacle with the fandom going against me for whatever reason.

Oh deeply 100%

The amount of takes I've seen both online and from people I've talked to, about how different forms of bigotry just don't exist in the US over the course of my life does not have my surprised at this elections results

"[X form of bigotry] doesn't exist, you just have a victim complex / a soft ass snowflake"

I do not want to hear or see SHIT for the rest of my life about people actually a lot more progressive if you just give them a chance :^)

I was already that one friend that's too woke but now? I'm just fuckin enraged :D

not to alarm anyone but is anybody else worried about how everybody is fucking stupid

[crybabypastels]

I just saw a TikTok talking about the rising toxicity in fandom spaces and linking it to covid. With all the "normal popular kids" invading the "weird kid" spaces and trying for forcibly rehash conversations we already had. Honestly????? They're not wrong in the absolute slightest imo.

I'm so GLAD I already went through my weird gatekeepy phase and had that weird "You can't do XYZ" bullshit pushed outta my brain. I can't imagine going through that all over again, especially with adding TikTok into the mix????

Nope. You couldn't fucking pay me to go back through that nonsense ಥ⁠_⁠ಥ

I'm into Animal crossing too, I already seen a snippet of that (Cough cough Raymond Mania)

Another very Boomer complaint from my little millenial self here:

EVERYTHING SHOULD NOT NEED AN ACCOUNT

JUST LIKE EVERYTHING SHOULD NOT BE A SUBSCRIPTION, I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO CREATE AN ACCOUNT FOR EVERYTHING WITH A USERNAME AND PASSWORD THAT UPDATES EVERY SIX MONTHS AND HAS TO HAVE 12 CHARACTERS 8 OF WHICH ARE LETTERS BUT NOT MORE THAN THREE UPPERCASE IN A ROW AND ALSO ONE OF THESE FOUR SPECIAL CHARACTERS BUT NOT ANY OTHER TYPES AND IF YOU'RE LEFT-HANDED OR A VIRGO AND IT IS A TUESDAY ALSO ENTER YOUR FAVORITE TYPE OF SEAFOOD FOR VERIFICATION SO WE CAN QUIZ YOU ON IT LATER AND YOU BETTER TYPE IT EXACTLY THE SAME WAY OR YOU GET LOCKED OUT AND PANICKY E-MAILS FLOOD YOUR INBOX BECAUSE SOME NEFARIOUS CRIMINAL COULD BE TRYING TO USE YOUR CREDENTIALS ON A SEWING PATTERN SITE YOU BOUGHT SOMETHING ON ONCE TWO YEARS AGO

Websites started doing this, IIRC, in the mid 00s, and then it was mostly about customization and you could keep your various online identities separate from each other and your offline life, but now they all want to be able to find patterns in usage data to sell to advertisers to improve the way they get in your face to try to sell you stuff you aren't going to buy anyway, because everything online has to be monetized now and ads pay the bills. It spilled over into brick-and-mortar retailers around, IIRC, 2012 or so, and now you can't just go to a store and ring up some jeans or shoes or whatever without the salesperson being required to ask you for your phone number or e-mail or a keytag to scan so you get points or coupons or, if you're lucky, spam e-mails clogging up your inbox.

I JUST WANT TO GIVE YOU MY MONEY IN EXCHANGE FOR GOODS OR SERVICES AND THEN BE ON MY WAY AND THAT'S IT. I WANT TRANSACTIONS WITH CORPORATIONS BACK, NOT RELATIONSHIPS.

theres bikes around the city you can rent but you have to use an app that needs your drivers license. theres buses that drive right to your destination, but if you dont have change you need the app. you can wash your car here if you sign into the app. you can go to the bathroom here you just have to unlock it with the app that needs your location on. you can order at this restaurant if you scan the code and download the app. im losing my freaking mind

50% of docs calling out ppl on the internet: factual, good evidence, is to actually call out shitty people

The other 50%: people just wanting to start drama for no fucking reason other than to start drama

Dear furry fandom...

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU ALL?! You harassed and doxxed Koshie for coming out about her experience in the fandom! What happened to "furry is for everyone"?! Instead of attacking people who come out about their experience, go after the people who are genuinely bad people that give this community a bad name (such as Kero the Wolf, Hypnotist Sappho, Cenny Husky, or Tay Ferret)! Harassing and doxxing someone for speaking out against grooming is one of the most putrid, disgusting things you can do to a victim of such!

Do you even realize what you have done? As I said, you should focus on getting abusers and other bad people out of this community instead of harassing and blaming the victims!

And just in case anyone gets confused: I am NOT blaming the entire fandom, I am blaming the ones who victim-blamed, harassed, and doxxed Koshie (both in and out of the fandom). Koshie didn't deserve to be harassed for speaking up, and these people need to be held accountable for their actions!
