it's a take that gets a lot of ire because a good amount of artists who "make their own merch" (get other people to do most of the work and only provide the art) have put so much stake on selling plastic that any criticism of it is a criticism of their entire livelihood

i would genuinely like to make some sort of impact or at least raise some awareness on shit like merch waste & exploitation. i want to at least encourage people to think critically and hold merch sellers to task for their practices. if you can't tell me where it's from and who made it i won't buy it

Any time you see someone posturing about supporting small businesses and their brand being a tiny team of one or two people, take some time to remember the potentially hundreds of factory workers propping them up who have gone unacknowledged.

If you see an indie artist open pre-orders for items (especially clothing, plushies, etc or enamel pins) which are obviously factory made, check their website and socials for answers to the above questions. Do not support artists who refuse to answer them.

Questions to ask artists who distribute (they are not making it) this type of merch: Can you name the country it's coming from? Which factories produce it? How are the workers paid? If it's pins, do they contain lead? How much plastic is being generated?

reposting from tumblr but let 2026 be the year I never have to see another makeship plushie or enamel pin kickstarter from an artist I used to admire again. hold artists to higher standards & do not exploit underpaid factory workers in the global south. just because you can doesn't mean you should!

still thinking about this article today. so many societal ills are caused by people white-washing what actually happens. it's awful to see games do it too. can't wait for cozy domestic violence simulator or cozy kkk simulator

Every time we talk about caretakers murdering the people they take care of, the focus is always on the caretaker because yeah this clearly doesnt happen in a vacuum. But my god the disabled people left to die in obscurity is so bleak. Sorry for being a burden I guess

this house is going to kill me.

it's my birthday so here's a celebratory Ko-fi shop discount! enjoy my wares ko-fi.com/canonkiller/...

still hung up on this. do ppl genuinely not realize how alienating it is that out of this huge boom in Queer Media™ the transfem rep is slim to none? im not talking about any one thing but abt the fact that it happens over + over. why r we so comfortable with leaving trans women out of everything?

if you're making LGBT+ fiction and not including trans women: what's your fucking problem?

i really enjoyed the undertale stream. it's heartwarming to know that there are artists who Make It Big™ who still believe in truly sharing what they've made with others + connecting through that rather than isolating What's Canon vs What's Not

KGLW exited the Spotify ecosystem as a moral protest to the CEO's direct involvement in funding the development of AI weapon systems and have taken the additional step of (at least for the time being) making a majority of their huge musical catalog free/pay as you like on Bandcamp.
