I really thought to myself "how bad could it be"

Remember that time the DOOM dev team violently destroyed a chair which they'd turned into an effigy of Rebecca Heineman after contractual issues left her unable to do the SNES port of Wolfenstein 3D? Cuz that's a thing that happened.

wtf thigh highs are so fucking comfortable. why did nobody say this

Just so it's clear. It's not allowing AI because it's trying to create a clean dataset for training AI. It's not because any of the involved parties actually care about human created art. Demons can lie to you. You have to rebuke them categorically, rather than fold when they say the right words.

*liking a photo of an anime girl with a fat ass with the wistful optimism of a shounen protagonist* someday I'll be able to handle all that. just you wait! 👊

This Trans Day of Remembrance we’re holding the memory of countless trans lives lost to bigotry and hatred, and fighting like hell to preserve trans lives still with us today! Trans people deserve to be seen + celebrated, not erased. Trans people deserve real allyship, not censorship. STOP KOSA

Not much to say about Trans Day of Remembrance anymore besides “try loving and celebrating us while we are alive”

On this Trans Day of Remembrance, I would have you remember that there are trans people alive who need your action now, not your reflective words later. Remembering us is not enough.

so obviously saw angels egg in theatre last night. id watched it before, but it was beautiful and haunting in theaters. deeply good

how I look showing up to watch angels egg in theatres

need to know this video is on this website

done playing with my toys does any1 need help with battle

This is why it's really imp't for regular folks to speak up, keep calling, and hopefully get wider coverage in media. sex workers and people in the scene can get retaliated against easily bc paypros can shriek "high risk! high risk!" Harder to do that to normies and customers just asking questions

People like Ana are often used to dilute the actions being taken because there is something the average citizen will find offensive about them, and so they must deserve this treatment. She doesn't, and it won't stop with her. It's already happening to other people, and it's going to come for us all

still thinking about how absurdly fine this girl from this mahjong game is

whenever ppl comment on big titty art with something akin to "wow her back must hurt" i wonder if they ever thought the train was actually going to come out of the tv and hit them too

broke my circle glasses, so we enter a new joan era

old pokemon game only has a boy protagonist? turn 'em butch

after months of research i've compiled the definitive timeline of the magical girl genre. be sure to show all your friends who like magical girls

Her Job

America's first ever esports champion was Rebecca Heineman, a trans woman. She went on to found some of your favorite video game studios and worked on your favorite video games. Next time you see somebody rail about 'woke' and 'DEI' Remember that. Remember her.

Not unlike those families who lost children to chatbots or had children groomed online, there are absolute ghouls out there who are using the real pain and harm of others to push legislation that would only hurt people more, because it plays off of our fears

"protect the women and children!" Legislstion will only make victims and minors less safe, with fewer resources to advocate for themselves, and anti-sex-work ideology leads to the kind of abuse these women and children faced.

In the wake of all this Epstein stuff, you need to be extremely dilligent about information and media you share There are orgs that want to use the energy around all of this to push for censorship/surveillance legislstion as well as promote swerf ideology under the guise of supporting victims

THE PROPHECY HAS BEEN FULFILLED

in the early 2000s Rebecca took the time to chat over IRC with a teenaged and gender-confused Me on the practicalities of transition - in a time where being out as trans online was something that could get you socially ostracized. I owe her a lot for that and only hope I can pay it forward.

What's happening to Ana Valens is a frankly disturbing assault on speech.

If any one of you is dumb enough to fall for her crocodile-tear-stained change of heart, you let me know and I’ll drive right over and unleash several decade’s worth of scorn right into your bland, credulous face.

This is Avi Arad btw, one of the producers for the Zelda movie

throughout this decade-long war of attrition against sesta, fosta, osa, etc. moral panic over sex work has been manufactured as cover for risk-management, more or less, for investment firms. the issue is ideological, but not in the obvious way; an open internet can't be totally financialized

Why do journalists have no apparent solidarity whatsoever? This rancid POS jabs his finger in a woman reporter's face and calls her "piggy" and none of the other journalists there says a word?

never let anyone tell you everyone was united in support of the Iraq War. I saw a guy on the news, on 9/11, on the street in NYC as the WTC burned behind him, telling the reporter "I just hope Bush doesn't start a war over this". We have literally always been here don't let people tell you otherwise

Rebecca Heineman passed today. She was a unique talent, to understate things. Anyone could see that in her long list of accomplishments. But we are not just our catalogs of retail products. She was a force of nature, a light in the darkness. This is an unimaginable sadness.

pregnancy test that plays one of those bowling alley strike animations if it's positive

can't describe how incredibly not interested I am in this movie.

The infuriating thing is that every halfway self respecting journalist should smell the slam dunk investigation from miles away and yet it's fucking silence

Weird how many racists like to self-identify themselves as racists.

I don't actually believe you can film a Breath of the Wild movie and it not be an embarrassing disaster so let's see if I'm proven wrong

Many writers and content creators DID speak up on these issues, but it’s since become harder and harder for those folks to sound the alarm. The internet is closing up. They’re coming for oomfie doing the woke YouTube videos eventually. That’s just how it’s gonna be

The truth is, way too many journalists & content creators sat there and said nothing when SESTA-FOSTA passed, when OSA passed, when OF nearly lost porn due to paypros, even during this summer’s Collective Shout situation. A slow apocalypse for the free and open internet has been unfolding for years

Feels like it should be bigger news that a journalist known for being loud about her investigations into banks/payment processors appears to be getting financially stonewalled by the entire industry unaminously right now.

Remember two years ago when Patreon did a blanket ban of all ageplay related content and those creators raised the alarm then only to get soundly ignored because of people’s personal “ick” around the kink?
