I guess I'll start being active here... I draw sometimes.

for fandom to be enjoyable everyone needs to learn to: - block each other more - learn to not care if you’re blocked - see a stupid opinion? move on - someone told you that your opinion is stupid? oh well - engage only with things you find value in

I love D&D, and I would want the people who work on it treated well and fairly For a long time and especially in the last few years, the people in the trenches actually doing the work have not been given the proper respect or protections they deserve Please help change that

This morning, the D&D team and Magic's Studio X informed our leadership of our intent to unionize. We love the games we make and the work we do, and unionizing is how we protect that work. unitedwizardsofthecoast.com/news/dnd-stu...

remember when we found out the creator of attack on titan was a japanese nationalist and very anti Korean but people either forgot, didn't know, or didn't care and kept reading it anyway.... That's what the hp situation is reminding me of...

"i wanna keep watching but this thing bothers me" then leave babe, you have free will. honestly take this as mean spirited I don't care, but learn how to choose your miseries. REAL WINNERS QUIT!

Child-free people have pivoted so far from the tradwife/mom life that sometimes it leads to rejection and criticism of any and all forms of motherhood. No, having a baby won't save people from their trauma or fix them or "give them purpose" and it shouldn't be the goal for every person,

This is part of what I'm referring to with many people demanding stories that reassure them they're a good person. They want the moral instruction because otherwise, rather than processing the reading experience, there's a thrum of "am I bad? am I bad? what if someone finds out I'm bad?"

Tumblr post by graftini:

stories about abuse are allowed to exist without reducing themselves to moral instruction. i think sometimes when people complain about the “romanticization” of abuse, what they're actually objecting to isn't necessarily the way abuse is being represented, but the fact that the representation doesn't provide them with constant moral reassurance. like, there is a difference between “this story frames abuse as desirable or inherently romantic” and “this story depicts abuse in an erotic/ambiguous/complicated way and doesn't repeatedly tell me that abuse is bad, therefore the depiction itself is irresponsible.”
